=, tho friends ii the different candidates II
!, very clear that AIcsSrS. Harris, EcDols,
orr, paul will all be elected by rouSlnS MA
iorj,;c.. The face OF the canvass mas so
changed since its inception that the most
eqoarjous politican and observer cannot tell
with any certainty what is likely to happen.
While General EcholS and Judge Harris are
cqnyas<in- together, Pau! is making his way
by himself. and is eni>ting to large eA-
tent the support OF the Republicans. a
meeting o! the latter party was hcia III Tue

were made bv 4. Il. Parker and u. W.
Fisher (colOrcdD and Captain r.. W. carlE'
The addresses were all conservative III lileir

reasons why tic cclored people should sup
MORT John Paul Fisher said that, as
thcy had no candidate in the field, 1t
was their duty 10 choose between the three
,John>-the three evils" John Paul
was the less evil OF the three "a rather
ambiguous compliment. Captain Early
supported Paul because he represented
more nearly the views OF the Republicans,
and charged that Echols had voted against
the Massey school bill, voted against In
crease of taxation, and now sought to hoist
himself into Congress by the votes OF the
people against whose interests he bad
worked. AS for Harris, he did not think
OF him in connection with the canvass. he
predicted that Paul would be elected by
large majority. The Captain has heretofore
been unfortunate IN his predictions, l be-
lcve. The JeTerSoniGn, for some article
in its last issue. received severe mention.
Judge Harris is confident OF his own cleo
ton, and no man has a more perfect know
ledvc Of the ground over which he fights
than he. General Ecbols is also making
friends by his able speeches.
The hard times are no proof against the
assaults OF the God Cupid. Four weddings
in three days OF our ewn young men, two
more to-day, and several week hence is
doing pretty we'll for Us.
y heavy storm OF wind and rain prevailed
here on Tuesday night. lasting the entire

are more valuable than sheep. Mr.. Fife

amounts to nothing.

&, NFAsHfNGToE, October ga aaa. Some interest
ing political information visa received from
North Carolina to-day through Democratic
sources. The contest for the United States
|senatorship between lance and Merriri,on
wakes hotter aud hotter, md 1t Is smpossi-
BILE at this time TO forecast the result. The
friends OF Merrimon claim that . majority
OF the Democratic members OF the Megislae
ture are in his favor It isEthought very
doubtful whether the Democrats will hold
q caucus, as Merrimon aud Vance are both
said to have friends who will refuse
to obey caucus decision IL i It does
not accord with their own wishes.
The Republican members OF the Legis.
lature number over fifty. 1t is under.
stood that they aretndisposed to help either
Vance or Mcrrimon, and will throw their
votes steadily for some Republican, watch.
ing the opportunity, il it should present
itself, to decide the contest by giving their
ballots 10 q Democrat other than Vance or
Merrimon, who may be personally unob-
noSious to the Republican party Of North
Carolina. According to all accounts there
never has been more animated contest in
North Carolina, or in any other State, be-
tween two members OF the same party for
the high position Of senator. In the Sec
ond congressional district OF North Caro-
liza, O'Hara, a mulatto, born in the West
Indies, was first nominated by the Re-
publicans. Afterwards it was charged
that O'Hara had married two wives, both
of whom arc living. O'Hara asserted
that he had been divorced from his first
wife by the United States Court in the Dis
trict OF Columbia. The Republican COM
mittee sent here, but could find no record
of such case. They then repudiated the
nomination OF O'Hara, and placed in nomi-
nation another colored man by the name OF
| Harris, native Of the State. O'Hara re-
| fused to recognize the action OF the commit.
tee and persists in running, styling himself
| the regular Republican nominee. Harris
| is man OF some education, and, it Is said,
| is powerful stump orator, and fully COM
petent to discuss current issues with any
one. lie has done much to cure the people
OF his race OF any tendency towards Green
backsm. In his speeches he tells the
colored people that they do not and
| cannot expect 10 receive as high
rates OF wages as the whites, and
that it is therefore to their interest that the
wages which they do receive shall pc in the
hardest, soundest kind Of money, not sub
! iect to fluctuations in value. The Second
district OF North Carolina is called the

running OF two Republican candidates may
throw it into the hands OF the Democracy,
but this is not counted upon very CONT
IDENTIFY. The Democrats make point
against O'Hara that he is not citizen, as
they claim he has not been natura!ized. TIE
| Republicans do not concede that there Is
anything material in this point. The Dem
ocrats say that if O'Hara should be elected
| they will have him indicted for biSamy, and
that the Governor vii! then refuse him q

4 MONTREAL INVENTION TO ILLUMINATE AND
HEAT BUILDINGS.

HEAT BUILDINGS.
from The Montreal Witness, October 17ihl
On seeing the application made to the
CITY Council by Messrs: Murphy, Quinn
and Beique for permission to cross Sher-
brooke street with Il threc-lnch pipe, for
the purpose OF heating with gas the Mon
treal Seminary and Colleges, our reporter
considered that the matter interested our
readers and the public in general; for If
heating can be done with gas on an eco
nomlcal scale, an immense amount OF labor,
expense, and trouble will be spared our
citizens. Consequently our reporter de-
termined in their interest TO learn some
thing about the scheme, and with the fol-
lowing results 1t is well known that cook
ing and heating can be done with gas much
more conveniently and effectively than with
any other fuel; il, then, an economical
mode Of making the gas can be invented
the problem is solved. This the above
named gentlemen claim to have done. They
mike the gas from water by passing steam
through red.ho Goals contained IN her.
metically sealed vessel, and by certain spe-
cial devices relating to the heating pro-
perty of the coal the steam is decompeSed
into hydrogen, carbonic oxide, and car
bonic acid the last is removed by purii-
cation, and the other TWO gases passing
into the holder are ready for immediate usco
These gases, it is known to all scientists,
give more heat than any fuel ever yet used.
As to the economy OF their process the pro-
Drietors assert that with the use OF one ton
OF coal they make 10000 cubic feet Of gas,
while by the old system only 5000 could be
produced; that with the same apparatus
they can make gas twice every hour, While
by the old system il takes from four to
eight hours for each operation; that their
gas will not cost more than fifteen cents per
1000 feet--a quantity for which ordinary
gas companies charge from $3.50 to 81.
These gentlemen have spent over two
years and much money in experimenting,
and having finally succeeded in their efforts,
made applications in different quarters to
use their gas. The reverend gentlemen OF
the seminary, with their usual far-sighted-
ness, gave them every facility, and they
have now contract for the heating OF tho
college seminary, not for the Lighting OF the
buildings, as these gases give little or no
light. The company is now formed, and
almost all the capital subscribed. 1t is
hoped that the members Of the Council
will give every facility to this enterprise, as
] it concerns the welfare OF all our citizens
the poor even more than the rich--as we are
informed that the gas can be delivered
much cheaper than any other fuel.
