Bound to Stick.

Several Democratic Senators were in
New York Saturday, and were inter
viewed on the Senate deadlock. Mr..
Jonas, of Louisiana, said: 1--WE shall
not compromise in any way, and, if nee.
essary. we shall remain in Washington
until December. We do not care about
the mere Senate offices, although the
patronage does amount to $3.50, 900 a
year. But we do care, and care very
much, whether the support and indorse-
ment of the administration are given to
Gen. Malone in the next election. With
out it, he. in my opinion, will be defeat
ed. And we are determined that he
shall not have it, if we can prevent it, as
payment for his vote"
Mr.. Jones, of Florida, said: 1--WE are
fighting to prevent the delivery of the
goods in the Republican bargain that we
believe has been made with Senator Ma
hone. We shall not give in and we shall
not compromise"
Mr.. Mcpherson, of New Jersey, said
The Democratic Senators have decided
not to give their expressed or implied
sanction to what seems to be a bargain
between the Republicans and Readiust-
ers, so-called."
Mr.. Butler, of South Carolina, said
That q bargain was made with Senator
Malone there can be no question, and
we do not intend to be a party to the
delivery of the goods in that bargain.
Unless he secures control of the patronage
in the Senate and State, which he will
do should the Democrats give way and
allow the Senate to be r~eorganized, he
cannot carry Virginia. This we intend
to prevent, if possible, even if we have
to remain in Washington all summer. "

What seemed a cold-blooded murder
was committed some time ago at Covote
Station, Colorado, the victim being a
man named Hewitt, and the murderer
some person unknown, who had lost no
time in getting away. Clues to his
identity were discovered, however, and
he was followed steadily until hunted
down the other day in Texas. 1t proved
to be an old man named Dahlgreen. He
did not deny the deed. On the contrary,
he expressed himself we'll satisfied, and
wholly Indifferent as to what might hap
pen to himself. He said that he had
been living before the wal on a farm in
Northern Tennessee with his wife and
two sons. The family relations were
very affectionate, and they lived happily
until both sons were shot by neighbors
with whom they had been quarrelling.
Five men were implicated in the murder,
and all of them made haste to seek other
regions as soon as the deed had been
committed. Dahlgreen's wife was so
broken by the loss Of her sons that she
soon died. Dahlgreen then took upon
himself the task of %retribution, swearing
to make it the aim of his life to have
vengeance upon every n of the guilty
men. He followed them from that day
forth. One of them was Hewitt, and
him he had shot in cold blood, though
the man begged for mercy. He had also
shot two of the others. A fourth had
died of inflammation of the lungs, and
the fifth was serving a term in the peni-
Tertiary at Columbus, Ohio. Dahlgreen
was held for trial. Q

Prof. Gamgee's Zero Motor.
Washington Republican


The Secretary of the Navy has re-
ceived a report from Chief Engineer B.
F. sherwood, which unfolds a prospect
exceeding in interest and extent anything
promised mankind since James Watts
invention of the steam engine. We are
plainly told that the possibility of a new
motor is established which dispenses
with the intense heat produced by coal
or the active combustion of fuel. Its
steam is produced by the genial warmth
of the earth's atmosphere or the more
available store in ocean and river waters.
The banks of the Potomac and of the
Mississippi may o be crowded with
factories drawing from the swift cur
rents, even beneath their winter ice, a
steady supply of energy made available
by a wonderful invention. Chief En-
gineer sherwood says: 1.-The plan pro-
posed is far from chimerical. 1t is based
on well demonstrated thermo dynamical
principles. The whole is definite and pre-
else, both in theory and in mechanical
detail" He points to the likelihood of
propelling ships %unprovided with coal and
coal-bunkers, and says the steam engine
may, ''in the near future, be certainly
superseded by the zero motor" A dimin-
ishing supply of coal will then not trou-
BILE us, and the United States navy,
independent of coaling stations, may
penetrate the remotest seas without re
quiring land and stores of fuel as a base
of supplies. The enormous. importance
of a motor capable of superseding the
steam engine" he says, land furnishing
power without the combustion of coal,
can be estimated from the fact that it
would produce an industrial and con
sequently social and political revolution
equal TO what was effected by the intro
duction of the steam engine"

A Washington letter says: "a great
many visitors from all over the country
are in the city, and all the hotels have
nearly if not quite as many guests as
during the winter season. Included in
the list are numerous sight seers, Office
seekers and also a large sprinkling OF
ANXIOUS office holders. The commits.
sions of this latter class are about expir.
ing, and they are very DESTROYS of nomi-
nations for another term. They are con.
stantly hanging about the White House,
the capitol ana the residences of Senators.
The President has been so much annoyed
by the opportunities of some of them
that he said II they did not go home
they would certainly lose all chance OF
reappOintment."

THE DE LEssEPs CANAL. A Wash
ington dispatch to the Boston Journal
says: Capt. Lull, of the navy, who has
in years past had connection with the
United States surveys for canal purposes
on the Nicaragua and Panama routes,
was recently ordered to Panama to take
command of the Wachusett. While
there he gave some attention to canal
matters, and he writes: That De Lesseps
has several small surveying parties, com
posed of French engineers. with native
iaborers, al work on different points
along the route. So far no construction
work has been commenced Capt. Lull
is more than ever convinced that De Les
seps' scheme of a tide level canal is i'm.
practicable, and that no Panama canal
will ever be constructed unless the origi-
nal plans are so modified as to entirely
change the character of the work"

Telegranhing Without Wires.

Professor LOOMS has been for some
months experimenting in the West Vir.
GINA mountains on his aerial biography,
and has succeeded, by running up wires
to a certain altitude, in reaching the cur
rent of electricity which he claims can
be found at that height, and by means of
which communication can be had at any
distance. 1t is said the Professor has
telegraphed to parties eleven miles dis.
tant by merely sending up a kite at each
end of the distance to a certain height,
attached to which, in place of an ordi.
nary string, was a fine copper wire.
When both kites touched the
same current communication was had
between them, and messages were sent
from one end to the other by means of
the ordinary Morse instrument in con.
nection with the instrument invented by
Professor Loomis. He now has a pro
ject for a series of experiments from a
point on one of the highest peaks on the
Alps, in Switzerland, to a similarly
situated place in the Rocky Mountains
on this side of the world. If this sue
cceeds, Of course his invention will rank
in importance with that of the electric
telegraph itself, and vastly reduce the
cost of ~telegraphing.

General James has issued the following
order:
Gags or labels attached to samples of
merchandise may have the price and
width of the goods printed thereon,
either by the original impression or by a

width of the article, of which a sample is
given, may be stated in writing. but
when SO written. the purpose of identif-
cation being held to have been accom-
plished, as authorized by the statute, the
price of the article cannot be added,
either in writing OF in print, without
changing the classification OF the matter
TO letter rates"

A DEATHBED REvELATIoN.-A pocket
of $1,000 in $40 gold pieces has been
struck about two miles from the Chino
store. The money had been taken from
a man murdered there some twenty years
ago. The murdered man and the man
who murdered him are both dead, but
the latter gave the persons who after.
ward found the treasure a description
and map of the locality where the money
was buried. These persons dug for it
several days about three weeks ago.
Rodriguez, a sheep herder, saw the
searchers dig it up, and John Taylor
and others saw the hole where it was
taken from. The treasure was found
wrapped in a blanket. 1t was trans
ferred to a leather sack. and may now
be expected to do some good in the
world after a long retirement San Ber-
nardino (CdL) Times.

The Spanish Government has taken
determined steps to check the gambling
which openly ~disgraces the capital and
nearly every town in the kingdom. The
municipal authorities have been instruct
ed to close every public club and casino
where games prohibited by the penal law
are played. A fortnight ago the Gov
ernor Of Madrid summarilY dismissed
every inspector having charge of a dis
trict in which gambling haunts have
been sheltered. Within six hours TWEEN
ty-six gaming houses were sur rised and
closed, and all the persons found on the
premises were sent to Jail to await the
action of the Police Tribunals. The au-
thorities will also exercise supervision
over the private clubs, in many of which
gambling has been constantly kept up
until a very late hour at night. 1t is
refreshing to hear Of one city in which
there is adequate authority and sufficient
energy to enforce the prompt execution
of a righteous law.

ANTI-GRANT VICTIMS x-Secretary
Sherman, as will be remembered, IN
deavored to get even with the Grant men
in the South who would not help him to
get delegates to the Chicago Convention
from that section by turning as many Of
them out of Office as possible. He did
weed some of them out, but was unable
to finish the work up to the time he left
the Treasury Department. He left his
intentions in this respect as a legacy TO
his successor, going to the length, in
some instances, of putting his wishes in
writing. Ex-Governor Holden, who
has been lately removed as Postmaster
at Raleigh, is said to be a victim to the
anti Grant feeling which has been stirred
up in the administration. The Presi;
dent has of late been several times per-
sonally appealed to to clear out the whole
Grant gang in the South.

and the Augusta Chronicle of the same
date, both state that President Phinizy,
OF the Georgia Railroad, asserts that the
charter of the Central Road will not
permit its being leased to Mr.. Wadley
and his associates. or t. any one else.
We have not a copy of that instrument
al hand at this moment; but the follow
ing are undeniabIe ID That Mr.. WadIey,
from his long and intimate connection
with the Central as its President, is per
fectly familiar with all the provisions of
its charter; O that it is very generally
reported and believed that at Thursdays
conference between that gentleman and
the stockholders of the road, he made a
proposition looking to its lease; 81 that
if Mr.. Wadley ant the Central he will
be very apt to get it.

DemocraD very correctly summaries
the Senatorial situation as follows: ''The
Democrats are ready to proceed at any
moment with the legitimate business of
the session, and have been constantly
ready to so proceed for the last four
weeks. But the Republican Senators
are not ready, it seems, to proceed to
this legitimate business until a little
illegitimate business is first transacted
by which corrupt bargain with a rene
gade Democrat and a gang of Repudia-
tionists is consummated."

MIR. Parnelrs Policy.

The policy outlined by Mr.. Parnell, as
to Mr.. Gladstone's Irish Land bill, is a
wise one. In substance, it is to endeav-
OF in Parliament, to remedy the defects,
and when it becomes a law, to use the
power of the Land League in securing
for the Irish tenants whatever benefits
are possible of obtainment under its
provisions, and finally to continue agi-
tating until the wrongs which are left
unrighted by the bill, are proper
ly and acceptably attended to. 1t
caunot be denied that Mr.. Glad
stones task has been a very Diff
cult one. The conditions were that
the measure should be liberal enough to
receive the support of the Home Rulers
in the Commons, and yet consult the in
terests of the Irish landlords sufficiently
to insure its passage through the House
of Lords. The first point seems to have
been gained, the Home Rulers preferring
to accept a few concessions to receiving
uOLAluS. OuG, IL AZ PAOICSo VI du16uQ-
ing and adopting the bill, it is
quite possible that something may
occur to array the Home Rulers
against it. On the other hand, there is
a grave doubt of an acceptance of the
bill by the House of Lords. There are,
already, indications that the peers con-
slider it altogether too liberal. Possibly,
the Gladstone Ministry may have con-
templated its rejection by the upper
house, and have constructed it with
special reference to such rejection. Mr..
Parnell, however, has done wisely in
accepting it as honestly framed and in
resolving to accept whatever of good
it provides. By so doing, he retains pub
lie sentiment in this country upon his
e;la

The Vienna papars say that the Prin-
cess D%olgorouka, the m%organatic wife
of the late Car, arrived in Vienna from
ST. Petersburg on Wednesday morning,
the 10Th ult., and went on the same day
with her three children to Italy. The
express train takes f~ifty-nine hours and
three quarters to traverse the interval
between Vienna and st. Petersburg, and
it was therefore calculated that the
Princess must have left st. Petersburg
two hours after her husbands death.
She, no doubt, availed herself of the
general confusion to quit the Winter
Palace unnoticed, and traverse Russia
under a false name. Her fear was lest
she would be put into a convent and
separated from her children. Her fu-
ture is very sufficiently assured, there
being over e6, 900, 900 sterling lodged to
her credit in a Berlin bank. The last
deposit of 81, 200, 900 was lodged in the
bank only three weeks before the Cars
death.

April 81. Blanks had been carefully
prepared and left at every dwelling and

to be filed on that night. The census

houseless and moving. or tramping class
so that the enumeration should cover
all. 1t is foretold that, while the popu-
lations of England and Scotland have
