FROZEN AIR FOR FEVER,

The latest invention, the steamer that
is to produce and store cold in its bow
els, to overwhelm, by freezing, the germs
of yellow fever in infected ships, is fast
acquiring shape in the designers hands
at the navy yard at Washington. Prof.
Gamgee has provided for the rcfrigera
ton of the largest ship usually entering
the port of New Orleans. The tonnage
averages under 1000, whereas Il l 800 ton
ship can have the whole of its hot air
displaced in L. minutes, and for it sub
stituted an equivalent volume of frozen
air, at any temperature demanded by the
sanitary authorities. At the same time
the hot and fetid bilge can be disinfect-
ed and the germ-destroying temperature
made to attack the entire ship and its
occupants. The steamer is to be bal
lasted by tanks holding condensed sea
water, rendered uncongealable, and by
which the cold equivalent to over 80
tons of ice will he ready at any moment
to make short work of any fever poison.
The yellow fever committee will make a
report upon this subject in a few days,
and it is said that an appropriation of
5000, 900 will be made for carrying out
these experiments. If successful, north
ern as well as southern cities will CLAIM
the application of the principles in their
quarantine arrangements, since it will
avoid delay and loss of perishable goods.

THE sENATORsAIP.

There is not mnch use of guessing as
to who will be the next senator The
voting does notcommence until the 18th,
and predictions now are no more reliable
than those made by TIce on the weather.
We have watched the contest with
considerable interest. Every one adj
mits Ingalls, has ability and that he has
made good senator, but there is n
fight on him. The programme OF
the senator makers, so far as we can see
at present, is to kill Ingalls, off. This
makes Anthony prominent, by reason of
his now being the leading candidate
against the incumbent. If ingalls, is got
ten out of the way the next step will be
to bounce Anthony with the intention OF
disposing of him. In case these are both
out of the way, which is undoubtedly the
desire of the other aspirants, the struggle
will be between half a dozen other men,
voring the newly made congressman IN
the first district, John A. Anderson.
John has brains, popularity and good
record. He has one advantage which is
important. He is In congress now, and
will be likely to remain there four or six
years. His election to the senate would
lift him out of the way of a dozen men
in the first district who have their eyes
on his present place. He would be an
easy man to compromise on. Judge
Albert II. Horton may also loom up in
the contingency above mentioned.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Gov. st. Johns first message is good
one. 1t is a clearly-worded, straightfOr-
ward, outspOken, business-like document.
1t is full of information that interests
without boring the reader. 1t contains
very useful suggestions for legislative
action in regard to various matters that
evidently need attention. 1t treats of the
late Indian raid in a vigorous, practical
manner. 1t shows that the state debt is
being rapidly diminished and that the
credit of the state is unsurpassed. 1t
shows at glance the cost of the various
public institutions, and recommends the
establishment of a reform school for
youthful criminals, the rebuilding of the
State Normal School, and the continu-
ance of the state board of agriculture.
The claims of the state against the Unit
ed States and the success with which
they have thus far been prosecuted, are
clearly shown. The payment of the
Price raid scrip by the state is diem
ma which Gov. st. John boldly takes by
the horns, and recommends. He meets
the question Of railroad freights and
fares in a way which indicates that he
Is ready to approve legislation to reduce
them. He meets also the license ques-
ton by recommending a measure which
will be in effect very stringent anti-li.
cense law. The message is very free OF
glittering generalities, and will produce
favorable impression wherever read
of both the state and the governor. We
furnish it to our readers in supplement
form, and advise them after reading it to
mail it east, where its circulation will
make an excellent impression in favor OF

THE CIPHER DISPATCHES,

These mysterious affairs are to be in.
vcstigated. In the house, on Monday
Mr.. Potter offered resolution to author.
ize his committee to perform the work,
and it will no doubt be adopted. The
resolution recites that certain alleged
kilograms in cipher have been published
indicating that attempts were made aE
ter the presidential election Of 1873, to
influence, by money or other fraudulent
methods, the votes Of electors or actions
of the canvassing boards in the states OF
Florida, South Carolina and Oregon. 1t
therefore directs the committee on in.
vestigatIon of election frauds to inquire
into the same, and into any other mat
ter connected with such election which
in its judgment may be proper, with
power To send for persons and papers
and to report At any time; also apprO
printing $4,000 for the purpose of de.
fraying expenses. The New York Tri
bune will now be called upon to state

MARTIN ELEGFEH.

We received telegram Tuesday an

This is the fourth time he has been
chosen. II seems that the rotation

being popular mhn Ee is a shrcwtl
worker, and it seems Impossible tG get
away with him. However, the people
generally, and especially those acquain-
ted with his manner of fulfilling his pub
lie duties, have not manifested any par
ticular desire for change in this office.
Martins work is certainly credit to the
state, and 'he deserves the compliment of

better than the cnnusaA& Salls for. and has
