FLEcrRIsAL LIGHg.-Hipts have been for
sometime floating about, that another in

Edison, was imminent, which was to reFo'
lutionize the means and uses Of ilumina-
ton, Electoral light was to be so modified
snd applied as 70 superceds all other con-
triYances for the common household lights.
The London Journal of Applied Science
SAYS the application for lighting has been
used in certain factories, near Paris, for a
year past, and that where ceilings are lofty
twelve feet from the fioor-the light is a
perfect success. In large spinning fac
tory, 40 feet long, by 85 feet wide, the
ceiling and the walls being limewashed,
the electric light is furnished by two lamps
piaesd at height of siz feet from the floor
and tho light being thrown upon the cell
ings by eeaical refectors, is difused from
the ceilings and walls, without shadow,
and is soft and general throughout the
room. Each lamp consumes about foul
iuches Of carbon point an hour, costing but
one 6sut an inch, and they furnish as much
light as formerly obtained in the sami
room from seventy gas jets which eost
about 85 cents an hour. With the new
light the darkest colors can be worked al
night quite as well as in daytime. Fhl
electric lamps require no matches or hand

The asst barrel Of petroleum oil was
pumped from 9 well in 1857. From that
time this staple has increased to an annual
Weld ct fourteen and one-hRlf million bar
rels of crude oil. In 1851 the fFsU export
vas made, consisting of $4,000 barrels Of
oil, valued at 81, 200, 900, while the export
sf yetroIean for 1877 reached an estimated
value Of S69, zoe, 900. The annual value OF
petroleum is now double that Of the an
thracite coal product Of Pennsylvania
greater than the entire production Of iron,
and exceeding the gold and silver product
of the country. 1t counts as fourth in our
export values, and is rapidly approaching
o higher rank.

Our MEXICAN RELATIoNs.-Hon. Abram
S. Hewitt took very sensible view of our
Mexican relations, in the speech he deliE-
cred in the House, as far bach as Dec. II
1877. His advice and sdmonition then
given, however, has not been needed, and
it begins to look as if there was a stoldity
and indifference on the subject with our
rulers which is not without weight Of
responsibility. The following is an ex-
tract from the speech alluded to:
This Mexican question must be met and
solved in some way: either by war, which
no one desires, or by prOtectOrate, which
has been discussed and condemned by the
general judgment Of the country, or by
closer commercial relations, enlarging the
ties Of mutual interest and cementing the
natural harmony which should. exist be-
tween nations producing products so dis
similar as to invite and compel exchanges
favorable to both. We have no right to
take the risks of war when the paths Of
peace are open to us. At least, as the
stronger and older nation we are bound by
obvious considerations of msgnsninity to
exhaust every effort toward peaceful So
luton of existing troubles and the substi-
tuition through treaties of reciprocity Of
mutual interest for the sntsgonism of pas
sion aud plunder. The danger is that if
this Congress should adjourn without de-
vising some peaceful solution, We may find
ourselves, when we come back again, COM
PEELED to vote upon questions of supply for
military operations, which we cannot re-
fuse to make without imputation upon our
patriotism and public spirit.

OPENING THE BALL-Fernando Wood
opened his battery with considerable energy
and iereeness upon the reading Of the
message on Monday, against that part Of
the document abiding to Southern out
RACES nPon the rights Of suffrage. The de-
feat that his party had sustained in his own
State, bad 20 doubt wrought him up to 8
pitch of frenzy, that probably interfered
with the calm and proper exercise Of his
discretion and prudence, and the question
of the violation of law at the South was
sprung upon the House contrary to the
wishes and expectations Of the more level
headed leaders of the party. The Presi-
ident's illusions WeFe denounced as cyl
dence of his departure from his policy of
Cancellation. He declared that 4, 900 Of his
fellow citizens and voters had been dragged
to prison in that city, and that 10000 had
been so intimidsted by the thought Of
having their pretensions to citizenship
looked into, that they were actually driYsn
from the polls. Rhs Bsmoeratic view Of
the operations of Cancellation appears to be
little one-sided. as if sauce for the goose,
is not sauce for the gander, and this theory
Of action With the RspHblicans Of the South
is worthy Of Northern imitation when ap-
piled to the Democrats. There was but
one consistent way to treat these violations
in the gsntlemen's own State. That was
to say nothing about it, or to deny the
whole matter. Cancellation sauce should
be administered on both sides, to show that
these fellows, like Wood, are actually con-
verts to the doctrine. 1t seems, however,
to be the wrong OK gored at the North,
but it is always the right one when the gor-
ing Is done by the chivalry of some of the
cotton States, upon the defeneeless Repub-
licans,
