They both colored deeply as

Jessie was even more embarrass-

great national SIN and crime agains
the debtor class the Democratic par
ty is not guilty of.
The work done at Washington i
cold blood in the way of contracting
the currency, under the fraudulen
pretext to make a sound currency
but in reality to enlarge all contract

the debtor, is alone the work of the
Republican party.
Looking back over the past, st: nd

judgment of the future, | believe We

gress.
1t is not to be denied that some
New York and New England Demo-
Gratis have acted with the Republican
party in fastening upon the country a
policy, whose leading feature is a
money monopoly created by law.
To undo what has thus been fas-
tened upon the country, and repeal
the enactments which have changed
all the peoples contracts. and pay
the public debt according to the
terms Of the contract, is the great
work before US, and 10 succeed is to
regain lost liberties. Looking at the
question in this light, as the most
fearful and alarming one that has
hung over & great nation since the

lies-of perpstuating the National
banking system-of denying to the
people OF the States the right to lend
each other crcdit-of destroying
their property for crime, and attep>
aoards trying them to see if they are
guilty. The Republican party has,
therefore, made up a set of issues,
which, if decided in their favor in
1880. by the free use of money, puts
an end to constitutional gOSeFnment.
A stronger government will then be
formed - constitutional limitations

COL. CoLYAR's SPEECH.
The question for all who are ear
nestly seeking relief from the terrible
effects of the Republican financial
policy, is not one of party pride or
party success. but with whom can we
accomplish in the life and death
struggle which is to be upon US in
1880? When give you the reason
why | am acting with the Democratic
party, | give you the only arguments
| can present. With me it is not as
it is with many of my friends-a
question of party attachment. l tell
you here tonight, that [ would unite
with any party which might be as
sured would bring relief The nj >ey
policy of the Republican party

would 60 any where. join any party
or sever all the party ties ever form
ed. With the kindest feelings to-
wards those who have separated from
the Democratic party. and with many
convictions on the money question in
common with them, | still believe,
looking to the question of relief, that
it is better to act with the Democrat
ic party. | am not insensible to the
wide difference between the Eastern
and Western Democrats on the money
question. prefer to meet it rather
than deny it. But what is known as
the greenback question is progressive
progressive in the Democratic par
ty as well as in the Greenback party
and judging from the growth of
this sentiment in the Democratic par
ty recently, l believe, by standing
firm and holding up the hands of
Vorhees and Tom Ewing, of Hen
bricks and Pendleton, of Bill Allen
and Doolittle, we can engraft upon
the party at the next national con-
vention the Ohio idea. Is there more
promise by standing by these cham
pions of the peoples rights, or in
going with new organization? This
is the practical question which comes
home to me.
Every man in Tennessee may turn
away from the Democratic party, and
the party will still put forward a
candidate for President in 1880. A
party that has both houses of Cons
gress, as the Democratic party will
have after the 4th of March, and has

Looking back over the measures of
Congress that have so nearly enslaved
US, the worst of all vas the act OF
1869, which though done by Congress,
was equal in its effect to a forgery,
enlarging all the contracts then made,
public and private, so as to give the
creditor twice as much as the debtor
agreed to pay.
And upon this, the Democratic
vote in Congress, if not unanimous
in favor of honesty and the rights of :

A New Telephone.
Cincinnati Gazette

The latest invention we have seen
in this line is "Watt's Telephone :"
It was put in operation Oh the Elm
street Inclined Plane on Saturday,
between the lower and the upper sta
tions, and was used instead of the
electric bells. 1t beats Edison's out
of sight. The sound is carried so
loud and distinct that it can be heard
further than in ordinary conversation.
1t not only conveys sound, but multi
plies it. Orders given from the top
of the plane could be heard as the
sound of loud voice by persons
seated in the cars. The orders are
given, too. in an ordinary tone.
This is by far the greatest achieve
ment in the telephone line that has
yet been exhibited The wire is
carried betm cen the tracks, and yet
the noise of the cars in motion does
not affect it.
The inventor, citizen cf Louis
Vile. has named his instrument the
'Improved Speaking Telephone.
and has applied for a patent. The
distinctive features of the invention
are its effectiveness and simplicity.
A small copper wire is all that is used
to connect the speaking boxes
These are exactly alike. Each box
is of wood, perhaps eight inches iE
length and width, by three inches in
depth. The square cover of the box
has circular opening five inches in
diameter. All that appears within
this opening is vellum head or "di-
aphragm, which is stretched as
tightly as drum head The outer
edges of the vellum are fastened at
the front of the box. At the centre
it is drawn and fastened to the back
by means of small bolt and nut. =
This gives to the whole diaphragm
the shape of conCave mirror, with
this difference that the concavity
lessons gradually toward the RIM
the inventor claims that the vellum,
without reference to its shape, assists
materially in gathering and transmit
ing sound. The concavity, in his
opinion, is also of assistance. Be-
hind the diaphragm is a series of
small copper wires. extending from
the centre out to the sides of the
box. With the connecting wire, the

things above mentioned constitute
the machine. Articulated words are.
as has been said, transmitted with
great accuracy. The sounds of a
musical Instrument are repeated at
the opposite end with scarcely dimin
ished force. and with the utmost dis
tinctness. Words properly spoken
at the top of the hill can easily be
heard in any part of the lower depot.
The necessity of a bell signal to ca u
attention to the telephone is obviated
by the fact that a light tap Oh the
button or bolt in the centre of the
box can be heard distinctly at the
other extremity. At the EIm>street
Inclined Plane the connecting line is
| 900 feet in length, but the inventor
says he has tested his instrument sue
cessfuIly with line two miles in
length.
