And Now a Georgia Man Comes Forward
With the TeIephOnograph.


From the Atlanta constitutional
But it has been left for an Atlantis
man to discover a possibility beyond
these. We are not permitted at this
time to state specially all the points be-
longing to the invention in question, but
we can say that an ex animation of the
working model leaves no room to doubt
of its successful application for the pur-
pose designed. The gentleman of whom
we speak has carefully watched the pro-
gressive movements heretofore men
toned, and from them he conceived the
combination for that is what he claims
his instrument to beg whereby sound
could be telephonically transmitted and
phonographically registered in visible
signs capable of certain and prompt
translation into written language. This
seems, at first glance, an almost incon-
ceivable achievement, but slight refer
ence to the method employed should
dispel all doubts. ''The telephone
graph y is the name of the new com
bination, and its points are as follows
First-Telephones, as in common use,
for the transmission of the sounds OF
the speakers voice.
Second-A telegraphic instrument of
the same nature as the printing tele-
graph, whereby the sounds may be reg
istered by photographic signs upon
slips of paper, as in the printing tele-
graph.
/. I TIhifd-A delicate and ingenious in
strument which indicates the slightest OF
loudest tones, and produces currents
that open the precise key that would in
dictate them.
Fourth-An alphabet of sounds ar
ranged upon Photographic principles,
by which every combination of sounds
and infections in language can be fully
indicated. - ..-
I The entire machine is electric and au-
tomato, and the photographic comb.
nations, made in much simpler shape
than in the most primary stages of pho
biography, are easily made by electric
action and as rapidly as the sounds are
uttered. The main value of this instru
ment is that it will do away with all ne
cessity of telegraph operators, re-
quiring only one man in
an office, and abolishing vas
amount of intermediate red-tapeism in
the telegraphy. Its greatest advantage
however, will be to the newspaper pres:
of the country, for with one of these
simple instruments in the composing
room, copy from the instrument can be
furnished to the printers, whose only
previous preparation will be a day:
study of the photographic alphabet il
order to become familiar with the signs
Once familiar to the printer, he cal
take piece of this copy and set it up il
type as readily as reprint. A person t.
whom message is addressed, under
standing the signs, could read it a
easily as though printed in Roman type
'Phe instrument is being rapidly perfect
ed, and the inventor has no doubt of it
great success and usefulness in thu
worlds affairs.

ined ordinary political sagacity would
argue directly for it; but one branch of
sn-callrd "Conservat,sm," could not, and
the other branch would not see it, and
again the half loaf policy prevailed
Hayes came into office to find two Gov
errors and two Legislatures in Louisi-
ana when, good Methodist ~ he is, ho
would rather have encountered two full
tledyed devils in the White House.
We're at all predisposra to supersti-
ton. | think | should at this particular
moment have concluded that Louisiana
was irrcvocably predestined t" discord
and disappointment and that human et-
fort could do nothing for her; but there

sequently l inevitably hold man respon-
sible to himself
think it may he asserted without the
slightest fear of successful contradiction,
that if the counselS of the "Extremsts
had been adopted on the 9th of January,
the State House. like the Supreme Court
building, would have been taken with
ont the firing of gun. Also, that II
such counsel had been taken on the night
of the I'd of March, we should have put
both Grant and Hayes under everlasting
obligations to us, and have haC LOUISE

tremeism," and that did not chime with
the Vaccinations of the private wire
pullers.
But it is time this letter was drawing
to close, and l will finish it by direct
ing the readers attention to a definition
of the two terms conservative" and
Extremist" AS it is forced on us by the
foregoing relation of facts.
The Louisiana "Conservative' has
been always for peace when there was
and could be no peace, always tor law
when there was no law; always tor or
der when there was and could be no or
der; always for preservation of the pub
lie credit when by dealing in, and sus-
tanning spurious and fraudulent eviden'
ces of Indebtedness he was striking it
deadly blow always for the compro'
mise of fundamental principles and the
acceptance of the half loaf, never fol
the assertion of anything. Such was
the "Conservative" before and after the
l4th of September; such is he to day.
The Extremist has asserted every
thing. He asserted that there must b'
peace, that there must lie law, that ther'
must be order, that there must he public
, credit, through fair dealing with credi
2 tor and taxpayer, that Fundamental
5 principles must be sustained, and tina
he never would divide the loaf of homes
/ toll with thieves and p)underers Fl
nally, he took up arms and wiped out al
f opposition to his assertions.

S isiana would to day have been worse q
