HEtremendous effort which Is being
made III certain newspapers to excite the
general indignation at the hanging OF Mrs
Surratt for complicity in the Lincoln ass
sassination, cannot be regarded in any
other light than that Of a press sensation"
The New YORK Express speaks of the late
Secretary Stanton as Mrs. Surratt's "assas-
SIM" and other journals use similar vio-
lent and peurie language. Now the fact
is that Mrs. Surratt was tried for participa-
ton in one Of the most atrocious political
crime ever committed; treason and assasl-
nation were combined in its most hideons
forms. And ahe was adjudged guilty and
doomed.to penalty. There may have Leen
| haste in her trial-thers should have been
most aigual swiftness in so momentous a
case; there may have been bitterness to-
ward her which disturbed the faculty oi
| iudgmsnt-there must have been when
the time, the occasion, the design and the
victim of the bastard act all conspired to
awaken the horror and wrath Of the entire
nation. But even all this admitted--even
setting aside the consideration that great
national emergencies amply justify acts
which would not be tolerated in ordinary
circumstances-it remains the fact that il
Mrs Surratt was not guilty of that for
which she suffered, she was guilty OF treas
son in some degree. If she was yiclim'
she was victim far more because of her
own acts than because of the heat of her
liudges. If she did not connive at the as
sasination OF Lincoln it was probably bea
cause her connivance had not been sought.

THB Sand Blast, invented by Mr.. B. &.
Tilghmau, Of Philadelphia, has proved to
be ono Of the simplest and most inventions
Of late years. Quite recently it has been
employed in an entirely new line Of work,
that Of Sharpening files and edge tools.
No peculiar apparatus is required to make
the ordinary sand blast avsilable for this
ws. The sand ID driven by steam or COM
pressed air directly against the tool to be
sharpened, and it does the required work
The query naturally arises, why does no
the sand:~ear away the edge as well a
the ports OF the tool which it is necessar,
TO remove in sharpening it7 1t is vel
known that the surface Of glass can be pro
tscted from the sand blast by thin Goa
Of varuish, by paper or any other elasti
surface. When q file is put under tn
blast the tooth from its wedge-shaped form
offers constantly decreasing ! resistanc
from base to point, and the sand, says tn
Scientific American, cuts with full force o
the tooth, but with constantly decreasin
force along the tooth up to the elasti
. point. II this is:true, and it is said th'
tho process is in practical use in many Ne

ACrea, Co,,on strike Impendiug.

LONDON, April 1.-THE notices of reduce
ton of the wages of the cotton operatives in
Lancashire, England, expires today and to-
morrow,
There is little hope of avoiding a struggle
which will involve the stoppage of 100000
looms and six million spindles, and render idle
100000 workspeople.
The council of operative spinpers, after an
interview with the masters yesterday, resolved
to recommend the members to accept the pro-
posed reduction for the present, and call rep
resentatve meeting of spinners for Sunday to
decide upon the future course.
The operatives at Accrington and the dis.
trcts of Church, Harwood, Eafield and Pres
ton, have reduced the time, but there is no
hone OF the masters accepting such proposal.
The Blackburn and Barnley operatives re-
sst uncOmpromisingly. Consequently tonight
in all probability will begin the most gigantic
strike and lockout that ever occurred IN the
county of Lancaster. The looms not affected
by the strike will subscribe three pence per
week for the strikers.
LONDON, April 17.-At Burnley about 5000
operatives will be idle tomorrow. The SPIN
ners expressed a willingness to accept the re-
duction, but as the weavers refused all have
stopped At Burnley aud Padiham the hands
at ali the mills except three are either under
notice or on strike. At Preston third of the
masters have accepted the compromise proposed
by the operatives for 5 per cent reduction.
LONDON, April 1S-A special from Man
chester says it is currently reported that the
operatives may be induced to yield before long
as their funds are very limited and they have
been assured by the masters that the present
reduction was not meant to inaugurate series
of reductions at Preston. The spinners who
are working for firms who refused TO compro-
mise will strike Thursday. The weavers will
continue work few days longer and try fur
Their negotiations
At Blackburn 5000 operatives are already on
strike. Conciarory negotiations are pend
ing at some of the mills but it is regarded az
almost certain that nine-tenths of the opera
tives will be idle in short time.
