BALLOON BUILDING.
How Professor King makes his Big Bal
lOOn-A Trip by Air to Europe.

How Professor Hing makes his Big Bal
lOOn-A Trip by Air to Europe.
Professor King told reporter about
the big balloons which he is building in
Philadelphia, and with which he in
tends to make ascensions at ConeytIsland,
N. Y, during the summer. Professor
King has had an experience of thirty
five years as an aeronaut, and during
that time has made more than
seventy-fve balloons of various
sizes. Some balloons are pear
shaped and some are spherical
Those which the professor is building
for the summer campaign are of the lat
ter kind, and are sixty-fve feet in diane
ter. They require 1900 yards of cloth
each, and the cloth is of double thick
ness. After being calendered to make it
smooth, the cloth is laid out on large
table, measured and cut into proper
strips. Thirty sewing machines are en-
ployed in sewing these strips together to
form q section. Eight sections are re-
quired to make balloon. After being
ornamented from designs specially pre-
pared, the balloons are vanished to make
the cloth impermeable, and then the sec
tions are united: This completes the bag
of the balloon. The bag is now in readi-
ness for the net, which is made of cotton
rope, carefully laid and about as thick as
ones little finger. The car will be oval
in shape and of a mean diameter of ten
feet, with a capacity for fifteen persons at
time. A cable 1000 feet long, one and a
half inches in diameter and tested to
stand strain of 1900 pounds, will be
attached to the balloon. Speaking OF
the ascensions and the proposed balloon
trip to Europe, Professor King said : 4"
shall make ascensions both day and
night. at sunrise, midday, at sunset, in
the moonlight, when it is bright and
when it is cloudy, when the weather is
hot and when it is cold. In short, !
shall gain experience as it has never
been obtained before. ] believe that if ]
meet with no accidents, you can count on
the ocean voyage as good as made"

Postmaster General Key says that pol
itical assessments arc unknown to the
postofice department, aud that the
postmaaters throughout the country can
either respond to or decline any call for
contributions which may be made on

rience shows that those who fail to res
pond to the invitation to contribute very
soou thereafter receive an imitation imitation t so
step down and out of the Office, TO make
room for somo more plant individual
who will respond. This is fair speci-
men of the idea which the Republican
party has OF liberty. The officers Of the
government are at liberty to do as they
please with their salaries so long as they
please tc. do as the Republican party say
about contributing out of 1t. We think
we have heard of some such proceedings
as this in the days of Radicalism in
South Carolina, but it is entirely
unknown to our State officers under the
Democratic administration.

however, are very different in other

Blaine ia only brave in time of profound

The case of the State against Aiken
Moore, Riley Moore, Thomas Moore and
Joseph Moore, The father and three sons
who are accused of assassinating Alex.
Bryce, jr., was called for Trial in the
Court of General Sessions for Oconee
County last week. The prisoners were
represented by Messrs. MCGOWAN snd
Thompson, and the State by the Solicitor.
Afi ia7its wefo submitted on behalf OF
the prisoners, showing that they could
not safely go to trial in consequence of
the absence of material witnesses, whom
they had tried to have present. and, after
argument, Judge Presley decided to
coqtinue the case to the next term of
Court, saying that in murder cases it
would be very great Inconvenience and
injustice TO the prisoners if they are in
nocent TO force them TO trial without the
presence Of witnesses by whom they
could establish that innocence, and IL
they are guilty that it would give them
an undue advantage, for their counsel
would argue to the jury that rs they were
forced TO trial in the absence Of witnesses
they were deprived Of the testimony by
which they could have proven their in
nocence. A correspondent of the New
York Tim>a say that Morgan II. Bryce, a
brother Of the deceased, had written to
the north for funds to help prosecute the
casc, saying that the Democrats would
not give him justice, and that he is una
BILE to pay the expense Of additional
counsel himself. This letter is said to
have been answered, promising the mon.
ey. but requiring it to be paid to some
Northern Republican attorney instead
of to any Democratic lawyer, and sugges-
ting Martin 1. Townsend, Of New York.
Bryce has represented the killing po-
litical murder, if he is properly reported,
and moro unjustifable perversion of
truth was never uttered, for the people
of the whole county are indignant over it,
and the men NJ. H. Brice is prosecuting
arc Republicans themselves. The opin-
ion off greA. majority of the people is,
that the Moores are guilty, and if the
proof justifes it they will certainly be
convicted.

Rhode Island has long been considered
the very heart and essence of Republi-
canism, 30 that the party may justly be
chargeable with the short comings of this
little spot Of tho Union, which no doubt
was created for some wise purpose that
has not yet been revealed, the existence
Of which is only 60 be predicated upon
an orthodox fnith. III this State where
the Republicans hold undisputed sway,
they have engraftcd as one of the pro-
visions of tho new Constitution that no
foreign born citizen shall be allowed to
vote unless he has n certain amount of
property in the State, thus discriminating
against all foreigners, regardless of intel
ligence and worth, until they have n
certain sum Of money, which is the sum.
mum bonum according to the idea of the
Republican psrty. This is only step in
the direction which the party is travel
ing. If it does not cause them disaster,
the prohibition will be extended until it
embraces all except the money power Of
the country, which is now striving to
absorb entire control. The doctrine of
personal rights and individual liberty,
which was SO dear to the founders of the
Republic, have steadily diminished and
curtailed by the dominion of the party
of great moral ideas. The step in Rhode
Island is an odious and dangerous one,
which, II extended to all; classes of citi.
zens, would soon be followed by the com.
plete overthrow of tho elective franchise
and the establishment of centralized
government, which would have all of the
disadvantages of q monarchy without its
purity or its protection to it's subjects.
This stsp in Rhode Island ought to drive
every foreign voter in the United States
from the Republican party. 1t is an
afEront which has NOT eyen the externa-
ton of o single reason for its enactment.
1t diacriminates between native and
foreign born citizens in more odious
manner than the advocates of know.noth-
ingiam proposed to do few years ago.
An enlightened public sentiment at that
time completely deluged know-nothing-
i'm in The a!ccca &C popular indignation
and contempt for its bigotry and selfish
ness. The Republican party is cautious
ly but firmly approaching the same posi-
tions now, and, unless it is speedily re-
buked, its prospect for success is very dis
couraging to the friend, of the Republic
who admire its better days, when the
theme Of liberty animated the hearts and
controlled the actions of our public men.

Mr.. George William Curtis, the editor
Of Haspers Weekly, which is one of the
most implacable Southern haters and
maligners of all the Republican press,
and whose loyal Republicanism is be-
Jond dispute Or even suspicion, does not

Cornell for Governor of New York, and
therefore il urging the voters of tho EN-
pire State to vote the Republican. ticket,
leaving the name of Cornell off Of It.
This is the counterpart of the Kelly bolt
from Robinson, and may perhaps do
something to make up for the disafection
in the Democratic ranks. AT least, it is
refreshing to sec Harper's Weekly, even
an an indirect way, contributing TO the
election of Democratic Governor of
New York.
