Protecting from Persecution.

We publish to-day portions Of an
editorial Of the Nescs and Courier
which are true as gospel. 1t is the
duty of the Democratic party Of the
whole State to see that the parties
who have been indicted on trumped
up charges be not compelled to dcfray
the expenses Of their trial. Most Of
them are patriotic young men who are
poor, and as they are merely the in-
struments used by the Radicals to
crush the Democrats they should be
stoutly championcd. The intelligent
jurors who have been chosen owe a
stern duty to the State to attend the
court, and prevent a packing Of the jury
with worn out Radical hacks and loaf
ers. In the speakers election in Wash
ington the Democrats had majority Of
one Of all the members elected. If the
contest is SO close what will be the
result Of losing one or two districts in
this State next time? Had the Radi-
calls captured this Congress three or
perhaps all Of the Democrats from South
Carolina would have been ousted. In
order 10 preserve the State, we must
control Congress. To do this we
must aid the lower counties, and pro-
tcct Democratic citizens from ruth
less Federal administration.

Writing by Telegraph.

Wonders will never cease. When
the world was startled by the inven-
ton fthe telephone, through which
voices could be distinguished at tho
distance Of hundred miles, and
when, still later, the phonograph
bottled up words md songs and
decanted them out again, It was
thought that the limit of invention in
this particular direction was reached.
But the scientific world is again
startled by the production Of tele-
graphic apparatus by means Of which
tho inventor has seated himself in one
Office and written o letter, and o
facsimile Of his handwriting has been
taken in place forty miles away TO
what distance this experiment can bo
extended has not yet been discovered,
but the invention is pronounced ono
Of practical utility. The Scientific
Ame:ico', produces a facsimile of tho
writing which is quite legible and has
marked characteristics. The instru-
ment was invented by Mr.. e. A.
Cowpor, distinguished British Eli
gincer. Tho principle is quito simple.
Two telegraphic lines are required. .
The operator moves with his hand an
upright pencil or stylus, as in ordina-
ry writing. The stylus has two arms
connected with it, through one of
which current is sent along one of
the wires whenever anupward move
nent is mado; tho other arm trans.
The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1879-03-27

mitting current through the second
wire when the stylus is moved later
ally. These motions ut the receiving
end of tho line operate upon tho
needles of two galvonomctcrs which
move like the needles Of u compass.
These needles are combined by deli
cate silk threads with Il dclicatcly sus-
pended ink tube from which diminu-
tive stream falls upon the paper be-
meath; the arrangement being such
that the combined motions of the
galvonometcrs' move the ink tube
through the same curves as the stylus
at the sending Office moves through,
thus reproducing the writing or draw
ing precisely. 1t is not probable that
this instrument can compete in rapid
ty with some Of the tclegraphic in
strumcnts now in use, but it may be-
come useful, especially when import
ant messages arc transmitted, requir-
ing proof of authenticity. a case in
point arose recently. James II.
Kccne, prominent capitalist Of the
North, has recently been cndcavoring
to control the grain market of Chicago,
and by purchasing millions Of bushels
of wheat he succeeded in raising the
price considerably. Two or three
weeks ago his agents in Chicago re-
ccivcd q telegram from New York
signed "kccne," ordering them to sell
a million bushels next day. They did
SO, and the price of wheat fell three
cents in consequence. Other opera
tors, supposing that Kcene forcsaw
tumble, fastened themselves to un-
load, and thus created a ppnic. Keenc
Immediately pronounced the despatch
forgery, and his agents had to make
good the loss, amounting to thou
sands. Detectives arc at work to dis
cover the perpctrator, but have not
succeeded yet. In all such cases
agents are compelled to rcly'upon the
precautions used by the telegraph
company to prevent fraud; and when
clear forgery is executed they arc
bound to lose. Had the Cowpcr tclc-
graph been in use the agents would
have known that Kccne would him.
self have written and signed the
despatch and could have detected
forgery. The advantages Of cheap
system Of transmitting signatures ore
boundlcss. 1t is to be hoped that Mr..
Cowper or some one else may succeed
in utilizing this invention.

THE CONTEST in New York between
Tammany and anti-Tammany is wax
ing warmer than ever. Mayor Cooper
is overhauling all the Tammany
officials. The county clerk has been
removed for charging excessive fees
aud refusing to submit his books for
inspection. The police commissioners
are now under fire and decapitation is
momentarily expected. We do not
see how the New York Democrats can
be harmonized in time for the fall
elections. The National Democratic
Committee should take the matter in
hand and put an end to the quarrel.

AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter OF century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the severa! assimilative organs Of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or cvade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
ful effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they gripe much less
than the common purgativcs, and never
give pain when the bowels are not'inHamed
They reach the vital fountains of the blood
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements Of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calon.c
nor any deleterions drug these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
