so perfect the control exercised that this
enormous traffic moves with thorough safety
and without delay or sioppage, through the
admirable switch and signal system ID at has

known phenomena Of magnets by simpIe
mechanical means. His apparatus consists
essentially of an air-pump, a few little metal
drums provided with elastic membraues. some
india-rtbber tubing, and a small tank of
water. The drums are immersed il the water

OF the tubing. Pulsations of air are sent

AFTER all that has been said about Presi

that gentleman is now put forward as the
administrations candidate for governor o.
New York as against "Blind-PooP' Cornell
and Ciyil-Service-Rsform Wordsworth, The
State has been carefully surveyed and all the
Federal employees have been sounded, and
the result is Arthur is going to stake his
chances of being his own successor upon

the slightest doubt, unless Boss Kelly is per.

party. Cornell and his friends will be on

IT is not at all singular that Alexander
HI. Stephens, Democratic candidate for gov
ernor OF Georgia, should, like Senator Har-
ris, dwell with emphasis upon the central
izing tendency Of things under the manage
ment direction and control of the Republi-
can party. All sagacious statesmen see the
handwriting upon the wall. In his speech
at Atlanta on Thursday night opening the
State campaign, Mr.. Stephens said that all
believe that Eve have, State and Federal,
the best government the world ever saw
first our State institutions and next our Fed
erai-" He spoke of the government as being
republican in all things, democratic in all
things, government of liberty, founded on
virtue, intelligence and patriotism. but he
believed that it was in peril, and il the peo.
pie were not vigilant and watchful
and patriotic the most hurtful results
might follow. He refsEred TO the infiu-
ences of Capitalization that once threat
ened the country, and which were only de-
feated, and could only be defeated again by |
the organized action of those who espoused
the principles of Jef1arsonian Democracy.
Mr. Stephens also dwelt upon the history of |
the Democratic party and Of the prospects OF |
the country under its rule, and he urged his
hearers, no matter what their differences of
view on minor points might be, to stand
united for the success of the Democratic
party in Georgia. This is just what Senator
Harris urges upon the Democrats of Tennes.

| from the recent letter of Senator Garland &c
| the people of Arkansas. He shows the DIFF.
ference between Republican and Democratic
rule In Arkansas. aHd as Alabama. Missis.
sippi, South Carolina, Louisiana--in fact,
all the Southern States-can make similar
showing. it is not surprising that the tax
paying people should contemplate with alarm
the efforts TO Repu6iicanizs the South by
the purchase o. Democratic ofice-seekers
and HubbelPs Corruption Fund. The people
are asking one another what is to be gained
by destroying the Democratic party and
turning over tine Southern States to the party
which plundered them when in power7 The
facts stated BY Senator Garland will remind
the people of what Republican rule means
aud the blessings that have followed the sue
cess OF the Democratic party. If the Re-
publicans are restored to power they will
undo everything that the Democrats have
done, and ansrehy, confusion and ex-
travsgance will follow. There will be DO
stability, and inflated with success the Re-
publicans would return TO the ruinous policy
which signalized their career when in power.

sibiilty OF such men as Chalmers plunging
