New York senators.

The deadlock in the New York
Legislature resulted in the choice Of
Miller and Lspham to fill the vacan-
cies caused by the resignation of
Conkling and Platt. A contemporary
says of the new Senators:
Mr.. Warner Miller. who becomes
the senior Senator, is q man of great
wealth. He enlisted in the army at
the outbreak of the war, but deserted
in 1862, and was posted on the regis.
ter as deserter. He engaged in bu-
siness in New York, and after the
lapse of few years-when the war
was closed-secured q certificate Of
discharge from his regiment. Ever
since the war he has been engaged in
the man ufacture Of wood pulp for pa
per making purposes, an industry that
il protected by our tariff laws more
completely than any other industry on
the continent. He has made fortune,
and was elected to Congress by virtue
of his wealth, but has developed no
requisite for q higher position.
Mr.. Lapham is representative in
Congress frem the twenty.seventh
district of tho State. He is known
by the people of his district az . fair
lawyer, but outside of his district is
not known at all. II he possesses any
of the elements that should character.
ize q United States Senator, they have
not been made manifest. He may bo
able to vote when his name IL called,
and perhaps he may vote Intelligent
ly, but when compared with his pred
ecessor he will be regarded as Q non.
entity. and properly so.

The Republican papers claim that
the party in Stark county who placed
the defaulting treasurer, Sullivan, In
Office, should be held responsible for
his infidelity and shortcoming, though
they admit that he chad the confidence
Of the general public, irrespective of
party" But these same virtuous Rad.
ical sheets are not willing that their
own party should be judged by the
same Judgment they mete out to 9th.
ers. The Stark county officials are
not the only delinquents in the land,
nor are the. rsscals confined to the
Democratic party. These virtueus
fellows whose moral sensibilities are
so shocked over the crime of treasurer
Sullivan, would hardly consent to have
the crime of Auditor Kennedy laid at
the door of the party Of great moral
ideas" in old Trumbull, nor are they
at all anxious to shoulder the moral
turpitude OF the whiskey thieves. the
star route plunderers, and the hun.
dreds of other radical schemers whe
have plundered the people and gov.
ernment in the name Of loyalty, patri.
otism and purity. 1t may turn out
upon full investigation, that the treas
urer is q defaslter, though he claims
there is mistake in the report Of the
examiner. However that may be, il
he be guilty he should be made to suf
fer the penalty for his wrong doing,
and his bondsmen will, doubtless, be
required to make up any deficiency In
his accounts.
1t is difficult to comprehend why .
party that placed a man in Office who
enjoyed the universal confidence Of
the public, irrespective of party
should be held responsible for his
shortcomings, any more than the
church should b held accountable for
the moral delinquency of one Of its
members who has always enjoyed the
full confidence of not only all its
but of outsiders as well.
These piOus. patriotic and pure Radi.
cal sheets exhibit an indecent haste in
their efforts to turn this misfortune of
= neighboring county to par';san ad.
vantage.

BELLS BALANCE.
A Great Discovery.

Professor Bells new induction bal
ance consists of two flat coils about
four inches in diameter and one-half
inch in thickness, of insulated copper
wire, a battery, a condenser, an inter
rupter, or circuit breaker, and tele
phone. The ends of the primary or
inducing coil are connected with the
poles of the battery, and in the same
circuit are a condenser and a small IN
terrupter, whose vibrating tongue
opens and closes the circuit with great
rapidity. The ends of the secondary
coil in which the current is to be in
duced are carried to the binding posts
of the bell of the telephone, When
the connections have all thus been
made a secondary coil is laid on pri-
mary or inducing coil, so that their
respective circumferences exactly coin
eide. A circuit breaker is then set in
water, and the rapidly interrupted cur
rent through the primary coil induces
another current of higher intensity in
the secondary coils, and as it does SO
loud musical tone is heard in the tele-
phone with which the secondary coil
is connected. AS long as the circuit
is maintained and the circumferences
of the two coils are kept in exact coin
cidence the musical note in the tele-
phone does not change its pitch or in
tensity. If, however, the experimenter
slides the upper coil along and inch or
so upon the lower so that their circpm-
ferences no longer correspond. the
intensity of the musical tone is dimin-
ished, and just in proportion as the
centers of the flat coils are separated
by greater or less distance the intens
ity of the musical tone is lessened or
increased. By delicate manipulation
it is possible to adjust the centers of
the overlapping coils at such distance
one from another, that perfect balance
is brought about, and when this is the
case the telephone marks no sound
whatever.
AS soon as balanced the coils begin
to feel the disturbance caused by their
approach to the imbedded bullet, the
telephone announces the fact by a faint
continuous musical note, and this note
grows louder and louder and louder
until the overlapping parts of the coils
are directly above the disturbing metal
when the sound reaches its maximum.

SINCE the 4th of March President
administration has reduced
the public debt SAC. .OOO, 900, the annual
$15, 900, 600, and stopped leaks
in the postal service which saves about
s., ,0O0, 900 year. Fifty-seven million
dollars Is q handsome saving to be ef-
fected inside of five months.
The above paragraph, in substance,
is going the rounds of the Republican
papers. They are very careful not to
mention the fact that the Democrats
in the last Congress passed an act to
refund at three per cent. instead of
three and a half per cent. and that had
not his Fraudulency Hayes vetoed that
act further saving Of several millions
of dollars would have been made to
the Government and the people. That
act was bitterly opposed at every step
by the Republican leaders and finally
vetoed by Hayes. It was undoubtedly
q good and proper thing to save q
couple of millions Of dollars by STOP
ping the leaks in the postal service,
but it is very convenient for these Re.
publican journals to remember to fer
get to mention that it was the rascalf
of their own party who created those
leaks and the leaders and managers Of
the party of piety and purity were
willing and anxious to enjoy the ben
efits of the leaks SO long as 1t could be
done without fear of detection. II
will be high time for the Radical jour.
nails and leaders to claim credit in this
matter when a few Of the Star-route
rascals who helped to carry Indians
last fall with their plunder are brought
to justice and forced to disgorge theil
ill-gotten gains.
