The State, referring to Democratic pros
poets, say this is young mans year in
politics." Of course it is in Virginia For
instance, Rev. John E. Massey, the reputed
father of REIMBURSEMENT" is the exponent OF
the "dcbt-paving" Bourbons Gen. Benz. f.
Butler, better known to the Democracy as
the Beast" at one time proscriptive Re
publican, and more recently an independent
Greenbacker and sand-lot, is leading the
Democratic party Of Massachusetts. The
young men, indeed, are coming to the front,
or rather the men who are young in Demo-
cratic ways.

Hon. Jno. s. Wise arrived in Staunton Thurs
day morning from Bath County, where he had
a JOINT discussion with Capt James Bumgard-
ner Of this place. He remained in Staunton
during Thursday and Thursday night, as he
was booked for a speech at New Hope on
Friday. A number of his personal and polit-
ical friends, concluded to give him sercnade
and draw out of him speech. To this end,
w. E. Craig, chairman of the county coalition
committee, with several gentlemen from the
town and county called on the leader of the
Stonewall Brigade Band to engage its services.
The application was made, and for the first
time, in our knowledge,a flat refusal given,
with the remark that the band would not play
on the occasion for 81 900 minute When
it is remembered that John 8. Wise is son of
a former distinguished Governor of the State,
that he was pupil at the Military Institute
when Gen. Stonewall Jackson was one of the
professors, and that when mere boy he
marched with the cadet corps to the field of
strife, and after a bloody engagement fell Sc
verely wounded at the battle of New Market,
it is somewhat strange that the prompt and
discourteous refusal should have been received
1t was not the manifestation of good spirit,
but if the gentleman and others who SYM
pathize with SUCH narrow views and par
titan bigotry can stand it, We presume Capt.
Wise and his friends can. 1t should not be
forgotten that one swallow does not make a
summer, and that is very long lane that has
no turn.

lican government. and should command
the approval Of enlightened craftsmanship
at home and abroad. No public man can
afford to antagonize its underlying princ'-
pie, and in this light it win be regarded
when the passions of factions and the as
piratioEs OF selfishness are made subordl-
nate to the rights, the liberties and the well
fare Of the people.

Fifth District.

Winfield Scott, Esq, who was week or
two ago, nominated by the Coalition Conven-
ton for Congress in the 9th district, has with
substituted by the Congressional Committee.
We think this wise action. Col Sims is in
full accord with the Liberal movement, is an
able and effectiye popular speaker and is max
ing an aggressive canvass. All that is now
wanting, is for the full Liberal force to come
to the polls and Hon. Geo. G. Cabell will
effectually be laid upon the shelf. Col. Sims
has heretofore been identified with the Bourbon
faction, but had occasionally given utterance
to sentiments which were not in sympathy with
Bourbon notions. Recently he came out from
among them, and declared himself an indie
pendent candidate for Congress on Liberal
policy. He is now, since the withdrawal OF
Mr.. Scott, the only candidate in opposition to
Mr.. Cabell, and if the friends of the Liberal
cause will go to work earnestly and systemat-
ically, Sims will be elected.
| The Comet now to be seen in the heavens is
attracting great deal of attention from scien-
tific men. Calculations of its orbit tend to
confirm the theory that it is Identical with the
comet of 1913 and $780, Prof. Boss suggests
that it may have made several revolutions be-
tween these two periods without being seen.
| If, however, there has been sudden reduction
of the periodic time from thlrty-seven to lit
tie more than two years and a half, it follows
almost certainly that the next reduction may
be proportionally great. Prof. Boss says ::
''The comet may crash into the sun next year.
| What the results of that crash may be is a
problem yet to be solved. 1t must now be
concluded that comet has solid nucleus.
The nucleus of the Wells comet was distinct
ly seen in an observation at the Dudley OBJ
servatory, on June 18th last, and was estimated
to be not less than 400 miles in diameter
The nucleus of the present comet is probabl y
much greater, and when we remember that
this comet will rush into the sun with a
velocity of four hundred miles per second, no
one can venture an adequate or &C curate estl-
mate of the possible consequences"

We have received communication from an
intelligent friend giving an account of the
speech of Mr.. H. St. G. Tucker, at Spring
Hill, last week but its length and the crowded
state of our columnsEprevent its Insertion
From it we learn that Mr.. Tucker made a
very bitter sectional speech, intensely Bour-
bon III all of its positions, ana relentless in
its denunciation Of ReadjusteBs and Republi-
cans. 1t is not necessary to go to the trouble
of contradicting through. the public prints,
such wrathful and indefeasiiba presentations.
The common sense and conservative inten-
tons of the people will take care of them
Such speeches need no reply. The more Of
them that are made, the more thoroughly
convinced do the people become that the
Bourbons are not fit to govern great State,
and should not have committed to them i'm
portant public trusts. In this instance, we
learn, the effect WAS just the contrary to what
was desired. Gentlemen who were hesitating
as to their duty in this canvass after hearing
Mr.. Tucker, determined to do all in their
power to defeat the party he spoke for, and
that the result will be an increased Liberal
vote at the. Spring Hill prec met.

An Ingenious Machine.

Mr.. Malone Wheless, of New Orleans,
has recently invented very Ingenious
machine for reporting, by which he
claims he is able TO report over two hun.
bred words per minute, the words so re.
ported containing all the vowel and con.
sonant sounds. He has so arranged the
language that any combination of sounds
can be instantaneously produced by the
mathematical permutations represented
on the instrument. The reading of the
record so made is not confined to the an.
thor alone, as IN steDography, but any one
who is familiar with the table by which
the instrument is operated can readily
translate any report produced. He not
only claims superiority over shorthand
as to speed, but as to the perfect accura-
cy with which any one can report. The
mathematical combinations are so inge.
niously arranged that no two permnta.
tions can ever represent the same sound.
Mr.. Wheless, who is also an expert IN
telegraphy, claims that the speed of send.
ing telegraphic messages by his inven-
ton can be increased from fifty, the
average number of words per minute, to
two hundred, and with as great accuracy
as is attained by the present system of
telegraphy. By the use of the machines
so constructed, speech taken in con-
eress, for instance, can be transmitted to
New York, or any other distant point, so
that party at the register in New York
will be able to read the speech, while it
is being spoken in Washington. Mr..
Wheless has been employed at Shorthand
some ten years, devoting the past three
years to the construction of his inven-
ton.
The inventor of the machine spoken
of above has brother in this city, Mr..
Thomas Wheless, now reporting the pro-
ceeding of the senate for the Galveston
Meas. In fact, we understand, our Mr..
W. is entitled to portion of the credit
for the invention narrated above.

upper hand. A local account says
When the train reached the coal bin

A total suspension of building
operations is threatened in New
York If the strikes of workmen en-
gagged in the building trades are
pushed much further. One archi-
tect on Saturday countermanded
orders for five apartment houses,
the aggregate cost of which would
have been about 5000, 900, the higher
prices demanded TOR labor, together
with the advance in building mate
rial, rendering it impossible 10 do
the work at anything like profit.
This is not by any means q solitary
case. There is point where the
consideration of cost summarily de-
oides the question of beginning or
continuing enterprises of this char
acter, Independently of other influ-
ences, aud from that decision there
Is no appeal, and it is thought this
point Is nearly reached.
