New CALCULATING ATTACHMENT FOR
WEIGHING SCALEs.-The improved attach
ment for weighing scales was recently pat
ented by Henry II. Ham, Jr., Of Ports
mouth, n. H. The object of the invention
is to indicate the price of any number of
pounds OF ounces of the article being
weighed.
The scales are of the usual construction,
and to the base is attached a cylindrical
case, slotted along the top, and containing
a cylinder upon which are placed a number
of rows of figures arranged in arithmetical
progression. each row representing the
price per pound or ounce of some particular
article. The numbered cylinder may con-
tain any desired manner of rows of figures,
and the row representing any particular
class of goods may brought opposite the
slot in the casing.
The sliding weight on the scale beam is
provided with an index which points to one
of the numbers on the cylindrical scale.
This number represents the price of the to-
tai quantity Of the substance On the scale.
1t will be seen that this device avoids all
calculating and insures accuracy.

To state with some detail the gfDunds upon
which his action would probably be based
In our Washington dispatches this morning
will be found an outline of the yeto message
to be transmitted to-day, which confirms
the general expectation that the Presidents
attitude will be one TO command the support
of the best sentiment of the country Inc
message will evidently lay great stress upon
what is one of the strongest points III the
case against the DemOcTats-the fact that no
cause Of complaint has arisen against tEe
Army in connection with elections. There has
been no interference by the Army with the
freedom of the ballot; no one has even al
legged an instance of such interference whose
statement was sustained. AS one proof OF
this, the President is expected to point 10 the
fact that no attempt has been MADE 10
amend the law in order to redress any sup
posed grievance the demand is simply Ior
the repeal of law in which no one can point
out definite fault. Another point looked
for in the coming message may be OF the Ut
most importance to the country. This is the
intimation, which seems to be confidently ex-
pected that the President may consider 1t
his duty hereafter to veto appropriation bllls'
passed under such circumstances as those
under which this bill was passed, and con-
tanning extraneous legislation. Presl-
dent who should adhere firmly to
such policy could do much in
single term, or fraction OF
term TO break up this demoralizing practice.
We hope Mr.. Hayes will adopt this policy
and persevere in it. Vt would be the first
step, and long one, toward obtaining for
the President the power of vetoing items in
appropriation bills, which is now recognized
as an invaluable check upon our Legislatures.
The Presidents assertion of the rights of his
Office seems likely also to fulfil the predlc-
tons made of it. He is on broad, high
ground, and the people will stand with him.

POLITICAL NOTES.

That veto will be the Presidents most popular act.
The only thing more solid than the Republican
party is the Democratic stupidity.
The Democrats NAV as well begin to take the
dimensions of the lIttlc end OF the horn.
Ewings admiration for Confederate character is
probably excited by his admiration for Confederate
finance
Mr. Lowe has not exhibited General Logan as
coward, but he has exhibited himself as a ridiculous
blOwhard.
The country may be behind the Democratic party,
as its leaders declaro but it stands there for busi-
ness with very uneasy foot.
Senator Wallace's promises to protect Union sol
diers in their positions have proved to be about as
fraudulent as his coffeecolored naturalization pa
pers.
Amid the talk about Presidential candidates it
should be recorded that Randall is improving the
shining hour by quietly setting up pin for himself
now and then.
There Is grave Democratic anxiety lest the Pres-
dent be bulldozed by tho Republican party. This is
very cheap, after prolonged attempt to bulldoze
him by threat To starye the Government.
BY the time this extra session blunder has culml-
mated and the Democracy has reached the end Of
its backdown movement, it will begin to dawn on
the ex-Confederato statesmen that the old swag-
ger. has ceased To Do power in politics.
Mr. Watterson has lo0sed himself on the exodus.
He has discovered That Its object is to fasify the

hearted piece of barbarous cruelty, which every
