EDIsoN's ELECTRIC LAMP Boston Globe,
October 21.1-The Wallace-Farmer electric
lights, which Professor Edison represents,
has so far given the most satisfaction. 1t
throws out brilliant, steady light, turning
night into day. In the Meehanics'-Fa
building, in this city, there are eleven OF
these lights in use, each light being equal to
200 gas-iets. The Fair Committee claim u
saving to the Association Of $40 per night
in their gas bills. The Secretary OF our
navy. some months since, had one OF these
machines placed on board United States
frigate, and placed a special officer in
charge, with instructions to give it fair
trial, and report TO the Department full par
-ticu!ars Of its working. He has returned
from his cruise and reports favorabiy, re-
commencing that one OF the machines be
placed on each vessel. For factories, foun.
dries, churches, theatres, railroad depots,
mines, and steamboats,, it far surpasses gas,
and can be used for one half the expense
1t is well-established fact that the "elec,
trio light" is the nearest approach to sun
light that has yet been produced. and is no"
the most economical and desirable light fol
general illumination.

MECKLENBURG COUNTY.


ABBYvILLE, VA, October -, 1878.
There Has not large attendance at the
regular County Court yesterday. Political
speaking was confined exclusively to the
Repubiicans. Van Auken spoke, and what
he said was only repetition OF the usual
nimsy harangucs against the Democratic
parry, and appeals 10 the Ignorance and
prcjudiccs OF his dark and untutored lis
tencrS. There are not probably four white
Republicans in this county who nre native
citizens.
Dr.. JorgenscD was also present, and made
brief speech. Re seemed to be willing to
advocate any policy TO secure votes. He
would vote to improve rivers, abolish reve-
nuc taxes, and cater to the peculiar views
OF most any class. Much to the surprise OF
all. he claimed to be the most influential
southern Republican in Congress; that even
Tucker and Cabell appealed to him for aid
when the tobacco-taX bill was on its passage
in the House. and he rallied the southern
Republicans in support OF the measure.
He did not appear to be before the people
as the advocate OF any special political prn-
cipies. but simply as solicitor OF votes from
all without distinction OF nationality, race,
or previous condition. He was, to express
it in nautical phrase, :" Off for CoweS and 4
market" and ready to trim his sails to any
favoring breeze. Suffice it to say, neither
he nor his supporters accomplished any
thing for him. There was no Conserva-
tive speaking. Colonel Hinton is adver.
tised to address the people in diff
ferent portions OF the county this
week. and he will no doubt sufficiently
arouse the masses from their apathy so rs to
induce them to turn out on the 9Th OF No
vembcr. and his triumphant election will be
assured. Wherever he speaks votes are
gained, and implicit confidence is reposed
in his ability, integrity, political principles,
consistency, and unqGeStioned courage to
Yindicate himself. The Radicals are making
Il close canvass OF this district, and the Con-
seryatvtS must remember that the streets
of Jerusalem were kept clean BY every man
sweeping before his own door,; so every
voter must feel it a personal duty to 60 to
the polls, and with 4 united effort we can
sweep the last vestige OF Radicalism from
power in district whose representatives in
former years illumined the annals Of Ameri-
can history by their brilliant genius.
DR.. David G. Smith, an old practitioner
and highy-eSteemed citizen OF this county,
was thrown from his buggy few days
ago, and died from the effects OF the lnju-
rieS sustained.
The Roanoke Valley, formerly issued at
Boydton, in this county, has suspended
publication, having been purchased for re-
moval TO IL neighbo1ing town in North Car
DINA. Colonel Townes has the good wishes
OF many OF his former patrons and readers
in his retirement from editorial life to agri-
cultural pursuits.
There is an intention to change the name
OF this place to - Russellvlle," in honor OF
a name in whose ownership it has been for
hall 4 century. y.
