Valuable Fire-PrOOt Composition.

An interesting test has just been
made on the stage of McVicker's
Theater, Chicago, of newly-invented
fire-proof preparation for stage scenery
and properties The test, which was
made IN the presence of a number of
city officials, the local papers report was
every way satisfactory. The canvas, as
it came from the store, blazed Instantly
when ignited and burned freely; but,
after being coated with the preparation,
the canvas would only char under a
three-quarter inch blow-pipe of gas,
would not even ignite at the ordinary ap-
plication Of fire, and would not blaze
under any circumstances. Pieces of
wood of the thickness of the frame work
used for scenes and scene-shifting, which
had also been coated with fre-paint,
were but slightly charred under blaze
of gas for as much as five minutes.
The preparation has been applied to
every bit of scenery, canvas, curtains,
woodwork and machinery EN- ployed on
the stage Of McVickers Theater, and, as
protection against fires, it is claimed
to be worth more than all the devices
that can be suggested for additional IA
cilities of exit in the auditorium of a
theater. This valuable preparation is
destined to be utilized not alone by thea
ter people, but will be found of incalcu-
liable benefit to the public at large, and
farmers in particular. By applying it
to barns and other outbuildings, these
structures can be rendered almost abso-
lutely ire-proof, and safeguard will
thus be afforded against the occurrence
Of accidental and incendiary fires, to
which our agricultural friends are so
constantly subject. The preparation
consists of a combination of silicate,
tungstate of soda and whiting. Full
particulars as to how to make and apply
this cheap, invaluable precaution against
fire will be furnished cheerfully and
free of charge, on application to Mr.. L.
L. Sharpe, the business manager of Nc
Vickers Theater, Chicago.

POLITICAL POINTS.

Duncan F. Kenner, of New Orleans the man
whom J. Madison Wells, Of the Louisiana
Returning Board, testified offered him (Wells)
5000, 900 to declare the result of the election
in that State for Tilden, was before the House
prerogative committee last week. His testi-
mony was to the effect that Wells and he had
several secret interviews, at which the sale
of the vote of Louisiana was the subject of
elaboration that Wells was anxious to en-
ter into negotiations, but wanted a "big
pile" for the job, intimating that about
a million dollars would be the proper figure, as
Anderson himself wanted half a million. The
witness said this was perfectly ridiculous, and,
if the demand was insisted upon, they might as
well drop matters. After the PRONUNCIATION of
the vote they met, and witness expressed his
establishment and regret at Wells course. Wells
said, 'What could I do? You had no money"
Witness said he hoped Wells had made himself
safe, and Wells replied, "You bet, or words to
that effect. The money, the witness said, was
to be raised by subscription, he himself propos-
ing to give $4,000.

THE LOUISIANA CASE.
Grounds for the Decision of the Electoral
Tribunal.

The decision of the Electoral Commission in
the case of Louisiana is in language about the
same as in that of Florida. It reads as follows
The brief ground of the decision is, that it
appears, upon such evidence as by the consti-
tuition and law named in said act of Congress
electoral law is competent and pertinent to
the consideration of the subject, that the
aforementioned electors appear to have been
lawfully appointed such electors of President
and Vice President of the United States for
the term beginning March 4, 1877, of the State
of Louisiana, and that they voted as such at
the time and in the manner provided for by the
constitution of the United States and the law;
and the commission has, by majority of votes,
decided that it is not competent, under the
constitution and law, as it existed at the date of
the passage of said act, to go into evidence
Gtlenedle Of the papers opened by the President
OF the Senate 'ln presence of the two houses
to prove that other persons than those regular
ly certified to by the Governor of the State, on
and according to the determination of their ap-
pointment by the returning officers for cleo
tons in said State, prior to the time required
for the performance of their duties, had been
appointed electors, or, by counter-proof, to
show that they had not, or that the determine
ton OF said returning officers was not in ac-
cofdance with the truth and fact-the commits
sion, by majority of votes, being of the
opinion that it is not within the jurisdiction of
the two houses of Congress assembled to count
the vote for President and Vice President to
enter upon the trial of such question.
The commission, by 81 majority of votes, is
also of the opinion that it is not competent to
prove that any of said persons, so appointed
electors as aforesaid, held Office of trust or
profit under the United States at the time they
were appointed, or that they were ineligible I'M
der the lauS of the State or anv other matter
