From my talk with Green and
other gentlemen not connected
with the matter, 1t seems pretty
we'll ascertained that the following
experiments are constantly made
by Keely. Most Of them were done
before comps ny OF twenty New
Yorkers last week, among them
Commander GorriDge who brought
over the Ohelisk. aud who speaks
in high terms Of Keely. A: the be-
ginning OF the evenings show all
valves aud cocks are taken off the
machine aud every one allowed TO
see that it is empty; every thing Is
screwed on again aud a pint of wa.
ter poured into the machine. Kee.
iy's theory Is that cold water can
be vaporized without the use of
heat and that cold vapor i. more
powerful than hot steam. A SIX
foot lever Is then arranged over o
Jet of the vapor not bigger than the
head OF d pencil, 40 that that a pow.
er equal to 10 600 pounds will be
necessary to raise it. 1t goes up
without difficulty when Keely
turns on his vapor. The f1y-wheel
is then started at a very slow pace,
say one revolution In five minutes,
and several gentlemen are request.
ed to stop IL by bearing against 1t
with q gigantic crow bar. They al
ways fail. Next the fly.wheeI is
started at 100 revolutions minute
and at u signal from Keely the
motion of the engine is instantly
reversed without any jar to the
machine. A little cannon is then
used to throw inch shot through
pIanking by means of some small
charges Of the vapor. There is no
recoil whatever about the gun.
In order to show that the
power does not come from some.
where else, through the legs Of the
table, for Instance, the machine Is
lifted into the air by chains and
Keely then produces his power.
Gorringe said, after witnessing
these experiments: II am amazed
at what have seen. 1t is certain.
ly one OF the most remarkable Gu
riosities l have ever looked
upon, and appears bona
fde." Yet I would not al.
wise any Que TO buy Keely stock,
even at q dollar a share. The sci.
entific men are q unit in denounc.
ing 1t as = fraud, and 1t has as yet
done no real work. Professor Bar.
ker, Of Philadelphia, looked Into
the matter and denounced Keely
as the humbug of the age. The
most singular thing about it is the
parsistency with which sensible
business men put money into it,

One Of the attractions of Staunton during the
meeting of the General Assembly "a notice OF
which has been delayed till the publication OF
its proceedings was inished) was the closing
exercises OF Miss Baldwins school. They were
held ON two evenings. On Monday evening
there was an entertainment by the pupils. con-
sisting Of vocal and instrumental music. Sew
eral OF the instrumental pieces were render sd
on six pianos and two organs-two young ladies
At each piano ,,- performers playing In
there was but one grand instrument.
The regular commencement exercises were
awarded the medals for distiSction, and b.
Palmer delivered the closing address, selecting
q singular, but, as he handled it, an appropriate
preacher. counting one by one; one man among
q thousand have found but q woman among
all those have not found..' The hall was not
half large enough to accommodate the visitors
who wished to be present.
Miss Baldwin's success as teacher has been
astonishing. Eighteen or twenty years ago she
and in an humble way. 1t was and is distinc.
lively a Presbyterian school. Her system of
teaching and arrangement commended 1t to a
wide circle oil friends. The institution has
grown until it has national reputation
Students flock here not only rom every South
ern State. but from New England. Pennsyl-
Northern States. During the past year she has
had about two hundred and fifty scholars, and,
we understand. was obliged to refuse sixty or
mediation for them. Her buildings are q little

fording homes for about q hundred and forty
boarding scholars, and the large corps Of teach

other appliances of a first class school.
1T is noteworthy illustration Of the thor
oughness of Miss Baldwin's course, that though
there were about two hundred and ffty schOl-

Massachusetts, Republicans continue
to be very anxious that there shall be
unlimited freedom of suffrage in Vir-
ginia; especially among the negroes
They take good care, however, to keep
the screws pretty tight upon the 1876, 900
white men DISTINGUISHED at home. The
poll tax, sacred in Massachusetts, Is
considered by the Puritans damnable in
Virginia." So says the Augusta, (Ga.,
Chronicle; and it might have added that
the poll tax in Massachusetts, which
must be paid before its white people can
vote, is 50 instead of 81 as we have it
here. Besides they have an educational
test also. And yet, there is no Malone
party in Massachusetts,, clamoring for
the repeal of the poll tax provision
there.-Lynch6urg VSrgiaian.

The Coming Contest.

The cause of Virginia is the cause of
the South, in the war that is to be made
here, in this year of grace, upon the peo-
pie of the State, by the combined forces
of the Readjusters and the :idministra-
ton. Seeing how slight margin they
have for success in the next national
struggle, with the South suidIy oppos-
ed to the methods and policy of the Re-
publican party ; the Republic an leaders
at the North are willing to make COM
mon cause with disrepulable faction
in this State whose tenets are in direct
antagonism to those held by the Repub-
lican party, touching the observance of
good faith towards public creditors
They want to divide and conquer the
Democracy. and, as we have seen, will

United States ia to throw tie weight of
his Office into the conflict, to promote
the election of men who have avowed q

the Democratic people of the South
must resent it accordingly. The cause
of Virginia is the cause of the South,
just as much as the people cf Virginia
in 1865, said: 1.-THE cause o: Boston is
the cause of the South"
The first skirmish in this campaign
which is to make Virginia the political
battle-ground of the sections this year,
was fought in the Senate, and the Dem
ocrats there resisted successfully the
combined forces of Malone, Riddleber-
