Whatever may be the result of the

it is fact that public willingness for

method of refining petroleum, not on
ly without tho use OF heat, but in such
a manner that the naptha, benzine and
gasoline, which must now be expelled
before the oil can boar safety tests, are
retained In such combination as to be
harmless and useful As in all scienti-
fo discoveries the demonstration Of O
principle emphasizes the possibility Of
tho application Of the same to all bodies
of nature like unto that experimental

that the method employed rs applicable
to all other inflammable material con.
soquontly the inventor should be imme.
dately coaxed into tho United States
and run for Congress, which is the
most dangerously inflammable body on
the continent. The idea Of making
our national legislature useful without
heating it to high temperature, and
of making its volatile and explosive
elements not only harmless but useful
and harmonious with the portion ma.
turally Trustworthy is the most consol.
ing ono that has ever dawned upon
our political horizon. Better yet, the
petroleum discovery promises to secure
q yearly saving Of hundred and

was necessary TO carry their tickets !
and the Democratic organs which do
nounced the lawsand the violent cxecu-
ton of them by the Carpet baggers,
now defend Democratic violence and
fraud ! and the Republican organs,
which defended the Carpe;-bag laws
and frauds, now howlthemselves hoarse
over the achievements of their Demo.
cratic pupils. Thus the reports and
comments Of organs in the North and
the statements of Government officials
in the South, as rule, are utterly un-
worthy Of credit and IL is only when
case like that Of Bisbec, OF Florida,
comes before the Court, or when so
reputable a gentleman as Mr.. Jas. b.
Campbell, of Charleston, testifies to the
conduct of bis own party, that the ex-
act truth can be ascertained. When
the unembellshed facts are thus given,
they exhibit a degree Of lawlessness on
the part OF Democratic leaders in con-
tested election districts, that relieves
Carpet-baggers of much Of their hith-
erto obloquy.
We can't doubt that Bisbce, Repub-
lican, was honestly elected 10 Congress
in Florida, and disobedience TO the
judgment of the Supreme Court direct
ing his return, by the Democratic Can
vassers, is not to be excused because
Republican Canvasssrs disobeyed the
Court in like manner in 1876 and stole
the Presidency. And 1t can hardly be
disputed that Mackey, Republican, was
honestly elected to Congress in South
Carolina, and, however characterless
he may be and however the Republi
cans of the House may have spurned
him when he sought seat a few years
ago, he is now entitled to be returned
and qualified. 1t is no excuse for the
violence and tissue ballots which seem
to have been employed to defeat him
that the Carpet-baggers did the same
thing, only more so when they had th,
power in the same district. Two
wrongs cant make a right, and Of th'
two parties offending, the Democrats
are the least excusable. They hav,
intelligence in the South, and claim L
be honest the Carpct-baggers wcr,
adventurers and thieves, and claime(

AN OVERFLOW OF SILVER.

The New Castle Guardian of last
week remarks: On Monday the rail
road employees on the New Castle
branch of the Pittsburg 4 lake Erie
Railroad, some three or four hundred
in number, were paid of, the whole
sum disburscd, variously estimated at
from six to ten thousand dollars, icing
in silver half dollars. As most of the
laboreH on this section of the road re-
side in New Castle or vicinity, the
natural result has been that this city
has been flooded with silver half dol
lars for the past three or four days.
This coin was furnished by the Econ.
oniites OF Beaver county, and is por.
ton of barrel containing 100000,
which was buried in vault previous
to Morgan's raid, and has remained
there until it was taken out for the
purpose above stated. These silver
pieces bear dates all the way from the
year 1904 to 1885, and great many
of them look as if they had just come
from the mint, being just as bright and
fresh looking as the new "buzzard Z"
dollar. If the Economics had sold
their 100000 during the war instead
of boarding it, and put the proceeds
out at interest il would, at the present
day, have netted them nearly five
times as much. As these half dollars
bear the dates from 1904 to 1885, in.
elusive, number of enthusiastic nu-
mismatics in this city are flying around
from place to place getting up col
lection of them.

BLAINE's BLusrER. editor Of
the New York World, in alluding to
Blaine's recent harangue in the Senate,
says. In fact, from Mr.. Blaine's own
point Of view, il must be said that his
speech was answered before it was
made, by member Of Mr.. Blaine's
own party. Mr.. Thurman's cool ex-
posure of the speech might have been
expected, as might also Mr.. Lamar's
gallant and effective defense of his own
people from groundless ISLANDERS utter
ed from the most unworthy motives.
But Mr.. Garfield showed much more
political sense and skill as we'll as
much more public spirit than Mr..
Blaine, when he said on Tuesday that
"the man who would attempt to get up
political excitement on old sectional
issues, wonld find himself without the
support OF the country, but the man
who wanted 10 gain the goodwill Of
the country must put himself in line
with its leading thought, and that was
the restoration of business" The peo-
pie Of the country entertain certain
expectations Of Congress, and the
mischief of Mr.. Blaine's attempt to
stir up strife, without so much as a
negro in any Southern State to start
home, is that 1t prevents the consider.
alton of the public business. We do
not overrate the intelligence of the
mass of voters when we say that they
are quite capable of apprcciating Mr..
Blaine's preference of his own political
interests to their business interests at
its true value, and that, therefore, Mr..
Blaine has made what he will discover
TO be y political mistake.
