The First Electric Telegraph.


The idea of the practical application
OF the electric telegraph to the trans
mission of messages was first suggest
ed by an anonymous correspondent of
the Scots Magazine, in letter dated
Renfrew. February |, 1858, signed by
G, NJ. and entitled "An Expeditions
Method of Conveying Intelligence"
After very considerable trouble Sir
David Brewster Unidentified the writer
as Charles Morrison, a native of Green.
ock, who was bred surgeon, and ex-
perimented so largely in science that
he was regarded in Renfrew as wiz.
ard, ard eventually found it convenient
to leave that town and settle in Vir-
ginia, where he died. Mr.. Morrison
sent an account of experiments to Sir
Hans Sloane, the President of the Roy
al Society, in addition to publishing
them anonymously, as stated above.
The letter set for a scheme by which
number of wires, equal to the letters
of the alphabet, should be extended
horizontally, parallel to one another,
and about one inch apart, between two
places. AT every twenty yards they
were to be carried on glass supports,
and at each end they were to project
six inches beyond the last support,
and have sufficient strength and elasti-
city TO recover their situation after
having been brought into contact with
an electric gun-barrel placed at right
angles to their length about an inch
below them. Close by the last sup
porting glass a ball was TO be suspend
ed from each wire, and at about sixth
or an eighth of an inch below the balls
the letters of the alphabet were to be
placed on bits of paper, or any sub
stance light enough to raise to the cleo
tritied ball, and 80 continued that each
might resume its proper place when
dropped. With an apparatus thus con-
structed the conversation with the dis
tant end of the wires was carried on by
depressing successfully the ends of the
wires corresponding to the letters of
the words, until they made contact with
the electric gun barrel, when imme-
diatel y the same characters would rise
to the electrified balls at the four sta
tions, Another method consisted in
the substitution of bells in place of the
letters these were sounded by the
electric spark breaking against them.
According to another plan the wires
could be kept constantly charged and
the signal sent by disebarging them.
Mr.. Morrison's experiments did not ex
tend over circuits longer than forty
yards, but he had every confidence that
the range of action could be greatly
heightened if due care were given to
the insulation of the wires-From En-.
giIseering.

Do Not Forget These Facts.

The official figures of the Ohio cleo
tion are not yet returned, but the ag-
gregate vote is only about ten thous-
and short of the largest ever polled in
the State. Ga this great vote the De
mocrats have beaten the Republicans
by majority of about $4,000.
Heretofore it has always been claim
ed that with a full vote Ohio was a
surely Republican State Experience
may be said to have justified that
claim. But the last trial of strength
has proved to be an exception to the
common rule, and has inspired the De,
mocrats with confidence in their ability
to repeat their triumph in 1884.
1t is needless to talk any more about
the different causes of Republican de-
feat as alleged by q rival or by disap-
pointed leaders of the party. TIE
supreme cause they will not recognize,
The Republican party long ago fulfill
ed its mission. 1t would not be in power
now but for fragrant fraud and scanda-
lous corruption. The days of its
remaining existence are numbered.
The people earnestly demand a
change in the administration of public
affairs. They intend to have glaring
abuses reformed and to have economi-
cal government instead of extrava-
gance and stealing. They will insist
that the President and the Cabinet who
are to succeed the present incumbents
shall earn their salaries honestly, by re-
naming at the seat of Government
and giving proper attention to the peo,
pies business. The time has gone by
when public servants can play the part
of masters, and draw full pay for con-
tinuous months of idleness and of ab
sence from duty, while appropriating
public property to their personal use
and pleasure.
That is the political significance of
the recent election in Ohio, The Re
publican party is going, and it is going
fast,--N Y Sun.

President Arthur lunched with Au-
gust Belmont at Newport, recently =
Political Exchange.
This is about as important news as
We ever hear from the present ipcum-
bent of the Presidential chair. He has
either just lunched, or gone fishing,
like baby or school-boy. Thous-
ands of dollars are weekly expended
for wire reports about Arthur's last
"lunch" or string of bass. What does
this nation care how many times the
President eats between meals or how
many suckers he pulls out of a mill
pond : Read the history of the
United States, and you will find no
word of any lunching by Washington,
except when he lunched off the British
soldiery at the expense of Lord Corn
wallis. Jefferson, was rather more re.
nowned for statecrafJ than lunches.
The Adamses do not appear to have
lunched all through the dull season
preceding political campaign. Abe
Lincoln had his hands 50 full of bust
ness that he was satisfied to snatch a
cold bite anywhere he could get it,
without reference to the fact in the
newspapers. 1t was Grant who set the
horrible example of lunching to the
click of the telegraph keyboard, and
Arthur has lunched his way from Wash
ington to the Yellowstone and back,
and is now fishing aud lunching up and
down the whole Atlantic coast. And

candidate for another term Turn the
lunchers out!-7eras Sittings.

Defying the Law.

Attorney General Cassidy appeared in
the Dauphin County Court Tuesday and
asked for writ of mandamus on the
Sinking Fund Commissioners on ac-
count of their failure to invest all the
available surplus in the State Treasury
in United States or State bonds. Mr..
Cassidy said the purpose of the writ
was TO compel this board to invest, as
required by the recent act of Assembly
known as the Humes act, the large
sums of money now deposited, without
interest to the State, with various banks
and individuals, and that in presenting
it now he SIMPLY desired TO get re-
turn day aud trusted that SATURDAY.
next would be an acceptable time. Mr..
Weiss said that, as his firm would pro
badly represent some of the defen-
dauts, he desired to say that the return
day ought to be fixed at, say, sixty
days, The case was a grave one and
would take time for preparation. Mr., Cas-,
sidy protested against such delay, and
after some further argument the Judge
said ut does not seem to us that
fixing Saturday next is giving reason
able time. The usual time is ten days. Let
this writ issue returnable on Monday,
November 5, at 10 o'clock
The effort of the counsel for the re-
publican Sinking Fund Commissioners,
to staye off the return OF
the writ of mand0auS asked for by
the attorney general to compel them
TO obey the law which commands them
to invest the Si,000,000 of surplus in
the Sinking Fund in state or United
States bonds, raises new issue in the
present political canvass One Of the
best known fnancialmen OF Harrisburg,
says
"The law is an eminently proper one
| and Just what the honest people OF
both parties have demanded aud hoped
for these many years. Had il been
enacted twenty years ago the saving in
interest 10 the state would have been
sufficient by this time TO have enabled
the legislature 10 wipe out all the state
tax on personal property. The people
would thus have been relieved TO a
large extent of their burdens. Now
when the law SO long waited for has
been enacted the auditor general and
state treasurer refuse 20 execute il and
when the attorney general undertakes
10 compel them he is met by an attempt
at dilatory proceedings, The people
will certainly not rest quiet under such
scheme TO deny them the benefit OF
the law"

Fine Diamonds now arriving.
To meet the demands of the
most critical, and consequently
the most prudent, we conhne our
selves entirely to the sale Of such
diamonds as may be pronounced
strictly first-class in quality.
Recogn zing the fact that in
ferior stones have little intrinsic
value, it has been cur business
aim to offer only such Diamonds
as we can unhcsitatingly recon-
mend as a judicious money i'll

In Rubies, Emcralds, Sapphires,

ally attractive, by reason Of the
many elegant goods of all kinds
constantly arriving from abroad.

The attention of Postmaster General

sion agent swindlers who are taking
from the poor of the country thousands
of dollars yearly by misrepresentation.
In reply General Gresham says 81
have no doubt OF the truth about these
operations, but | do not see how can
help il. To begin with, the mails are
for the use of all persons. Then the
statutes specify certain classes of indi-
viduals TO whom registered letters and
money orders may be denied Unless
the statutes plainly cover case, such
as that of lottery companies, the Post
master is powerless, for he obviously
has no authority to make laws, but to
execute such as he finds. | do not
think can do anything to stop this
wholesale pension swindling. If
case were brought before me than |
could investigate it and see if the
statutes cover it," The statute by au
thority of which General Gresham has
stopped the mail of the Louisiana Lot
terry Company is as follows "Section
1891 X. 5. No letter or circular con-
cerning illegal lotteries, so called gift
concerts or other similar enterprises of
fering prizes or concerning schemes
devised and intended to deceive and
defraud the public for the purpose of
obtaining money under false pretenses

al instances General Gresham's prede-
cessors have denied the use of the mails
to various swindling firms engaged in
detrauding the public under this section
under the power conveyed in the phrase,
''or concerning schemes devised and
intended to deceive and defraud the
public There seems to be little doubt
that Judge Gresham will take up the
matter if recipients of these claim
agent circulars will send him sample
of them. ...
