Hardware men claim that their biggest sales
nowadays are gate hinges. Dentists claim that
their harvest is about approaching, as II IS mighty
hard on natures dental formations to bite over
gate or fence. Straw goods dealers feel as though
that straws shows that the wind blows in their
direction, as new hats are being ordered. Linen
drapers are in their glory as the atmosphere is as
sisting them in a sale Of cool, summer goods.
Livery men smile and fix up their vehicles with
out regard to expense, as they are well aware
that their harvest has come Farmers are happy

promises well. Camp meetings are being organ.

UNDERGROUND TELEGRAPHY.

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany has just completed an important
transaction, the result of which prom.
ises to revolutionize the whole system
of telegraphy on this continent This is
the purchase by that corporation of the
patent right Of Mr.. David Brooks, of this
city, for his new system Of underground
telegraph wires. A series of very inter-
esting experiments haYe recently been
made the officers of the company with
view to determining the practical value
of the invention, and ther estimate of it
may be inferred when it is stated that
the price paid Mr.. Brooks for his rights
is $250,000. The new system consists in
wrapping the wire in cotton and enClos-
ing them in iron pipes. filled with petro'
leum, which prevents damage from
moisture. 1t has been found by actual
experiment that these wires, in such
condition, work equally we'll under wa
ter or under land. Contracts have al
ready been given out for large number
of the necessary pipes. The adoption Of
the Brooks patent will, of course, do
away with the cumbrous, expensive and
unsightly system of poles and overhang-
ing wires, and in this one respect will
prove a decided boon to large cities. Mr..
Brooks has, it is understood, offers un-
der consideration from some of the
leading governments and telegraph com.
panies in Europe for the sale of his pat
ent, and it is probable that the negotia-
tions will terminate in some transactions
far exceeding the one just stated.-PhiIa.

A SCRAP OF HISTORY.
Why tho Regular Army Did Not Interfere In ths
Election OF 1870.
[From The Ullca observer.l


'f'f From the etlca observerl =.
On the 9Th Of November 1870, the city
OF New York was more deeply excited
than at any other time in its recent his
tory. 1t was the day preceding the gem
eral election ofthat year, and orders had
gone forth that the metropolis should be
invaded by Federal troops, the laws Of
the State ignored, and the rights of the
people placed at the mercy of JohnI.
Davenport and his reckless crew of su-
pervisors and deputy marshals. In the
harbor lay two gunboats, furnished by
the notorious Robeson, and threatening
to open fire on the business heart of the
town.
The State was at perfect peace, and it's
laws were respected and enforced. No
man could vote unless he had appeared
in person at the designated places at
least ten days before and registered his
name, answering under oath the ques-
tions which were put in regard to his
residence and qualifications. All that
the Republicans had asked in the way Of
increased stringency to the election acts
had been conceded by the Democratic
Legislature. The inspectors and canvas
sers had been fairly chosen from both
parties, under the direction of nom
partisan Police Commissioner No Off
Ger of the State or city, high or low, Re-
publican or Democrat, had asked for the
interference of the Federal troops, but
an army was there, under command of a
Brigadier General Of regulars, to con-
| duct an election.
Never before had such reckless at.
tempt been made to invade the inYested
rights of the people, and it is safe to say
| that it will never be made again. The
promptness and bravery with which it
was met and repelled By Gov. Hoffman
served as warning to President Grant.
The Governor repaired to the city, and
quietly but firmly announced that if the
Federal troops appeared in the streets
on election day they would be met by
the National Guard, who would protect
the people at all hazards. This was no
idle threat. Ample preparations had
been made for conflict, which seemed
at that time inevitable. How ample
those preparations were, the following
document, which is now made publiCfor
the first time, will show:
Copy
New York, Nov. 2, 1870.
| My DEAR GoyERNoR-l have the pleasure Of
informing you that feel confident of having Se-
| cured asupply of one hundred thousand ball car
| trdges and four hundred rounds of canister
shot, with cartridges for the artillery. God grant
that 1t may HOT be necessary to use them.
|
| Yours very truly,
| FRANKLIN TOWNSEND, Adjutant General.
| To Gov. HOFFMAN.
Fortunately the threatened necessity
did not arise. At the last moment the
Federal authorities took counsel of dis
cretion, and retreated. Not a Federal
soldier was seen in the streets of New
York on the election day of 1870, and
since that time 10 attempt has been
made to invade our State.
