crediting the police and the Fifth
Regiment with the duty they did in
dealing with the mob, but he went
very far estray when he stated that
the regular troops were not needed,
not welcome, and it was totally un-
I ecessary to send them here. If Mr..
Hewitt had been at Camden Station
towards midnight on the 20th of
July, had had some Individual eX-
perience Of the anxiety that prevail
ed while thousands Of rioters crowd
ed the adjacent streets, while por-
ton Of the depot was burning and
there was universal dread OF what
might next occur-if he had seen and
known all this, he might be compe-
tent to speak of the relief that was
felt " hen y section Of artillery arr
rived from Fort McFTenry and a
couple Of hundred Of regulars came
over from Washington. 1t was not
that the police and militia were not
competent to handle the mob-for
their gallant behavior was conclu-
sive enough on that point-but still
there was an additional assurance de-
rived from the presence of the Gov
ernment soldiers that was very COM
forting.
We heartily endorse everything
taat can be said in behalf of a well
organized and disciplined militia, but
we dissent from the theory that it
can take the place of the regular
army. The experience of last July
simply goes to demonstrate that an
efficient militia can successfully ope-
rate in harmony with the regular
troops, and that both are essential to
the subduing of riot and rapine un-
der such circumstances. We are told
that Mr.. -kimmelPo speech is to be
published as Democratic campaign
document, and Republicans may
hope that it will be. or all Il he blum
ders Of the Democratic managers,
| there is no other one more fOoliSh h
than their attack upon the army.
The people are proud of it and its
record. Its honorS haYe been fairly
won, and its history is that of patri-
otism and galIantry. We are gratfied
that the Republicans in the House
of Representatives,, and a few Dem
ocrats who refused to be fettered by

Edison is hard at work on an ap-
paratus for the deaf, and feels sure
that it will be perfected within six
months. His own hardness of hear
ing will no doubt stimulate his in
ventive faculties in this direction,
and will enable him to test the eapac-
tiles of his artificial ear at each stage
Of its development. lie has already
devised an apparatus, a sort of i'm
proved ear-trumpeL which he uses
when he goes to the theatre, but it
may be safely assumed that the
promised invention will be some
thing novel. Nothing seems impos-
sible to the undaunted Edison. The
Burlington HdCheye, in bitterness
of soul, called for some arrangement
by which the cry of an infant would
cause the cradle to rock, and Edison,
equal to the emergency, suggests IL
plan off hand. The cries of the child
are received in u telephone, which
operates through battery and mag
nets on a leyer, which rocks the cra-
die. A slight outcry on the part of
the baby causes gentle motion Of
tue cradle, Il roar sets the cradle in
violent agitation, when the baby is
soothed and the yiolen"e of its re-
marks diminishes, in exact proper
ton the motion of the cradle becomes
less preceptibie, and ceases entirely
when the baby stops crying and goes
to sleep. This will be an Invaluable
invention for sleepy parents on cold
nights. If Edison goes on in this
way revolution in domestic science
may be expected.

PANAMA, Feb. 13.--From letter dated
Bocas del Toro, Feb. 4, 1878, we learn
that on Jan. 81, at p. m, an armed band
went on board the American schooner
Sunbeam, Capt. Kain, at Port Limon,
and took forcible possession. The Cap
tain was on shore at the time, but the
officer in charge demonstrated with them,
and told them that the United States
Government would regard their action
as piracy. They replied that they did
not care what the United States Govern
ment said or did. At 800 a. M, Feb. 1,
another detachment arrived on board,
and Immediately gave orders to put to
sea but when Informed that the Captain
was not on board, an armed squad was
sent to find him, which they did, he be-
ing iu the company of the United States
Consul. The guard seized him and COM
PEELED him to 90 on board. When there
he was forced TO get under weigh, on
peril of being shot. He sailed, with
about forty of these armed men on
board, to Bocas del Toro.
On the way from Port Limon to Bocas
del Toro the British gunboat Contest was
spoken, but the Captain of the schooner
was. forbidden to make any signs for
help on pain of instant death. The au-
thors of these acts of violence, which
strongly resemble piracy, are the defeat

The Washington Ball.

The thirty eighth annual ball of the

place last evening, at the Institute Hall.
The hall was handsomely trimmed with
evergreens and bunting. Around the
walls were suspended number of fine
oil painting aud the music of number
of canary birds coulG be heard even
above the sweet strains OF the music, rem
dered by the orchestra.
The stage,upon which were seated the
musicians, was very handsomely trimmed
with evergreens, and two arches were
erected from whichiwas suspended, IAN oil
painting of the father of our country land

The ball was the largest that has ever
been given in this city, there being one
hundred and thirty couples on the Grand
March, The march took place about
$3.50 o'clock, and was led by master of
ceremonies John 7. West, and his wife.
The ladies were handsomely attired and
presented a fine appearance as they
marched around the room. A number
of visitors were present from CoDshoboc-
