DIsRAEn AND THE CoNFEDERAcY

DlSRAELl AND THE CONFEDERACY.
am able to speak with knowledge on
this subject, and 7 affirm without fear of
contradiction, that Mr. Disraeli, although
never committing himself as Mr.. Gladstone
and Lord John Russell did, to the principles
for which the Southern Confederacy was
fighting, always regarded recognition" as
a possible card to play, and was quite pre-
pared at the proper moment to play it. The
moment seemed to have come when General
Lee invaded the Federal States, after hav.
ing shattered the strength Of the Northern
invasion. AT that time it was notorious
that the bulk Of the Tory party and more
than half of the Ministerialsts were pre-
pared for such step. Mr. Lindseys reso-
luton OH the subject had failed Mr.. Roe
bucks eloquence had been equally inef-
tectual. But in the face of the repeated
trumphs of the Southern army and the
possible occupation of the Capital by Gen.
Lees troops, it seemed hopeless to restrain
the pent-up feelings of the House OF Com
mons, and Mr.. Dsraeli saw his opportunity.
had frequent conversations with him on
tho subject, and | perfectly recollect his
saying to me that he thought the time had
now come for moving in the matter.
But, he said, "it is Of great Importance
that if the move is to be made it should
not assume 4 party character, and it is of
equal Importance that the initiative should
come from this (the Confederate) side.
Now, Mr.. Lindsey carries no weight Lord
Robert Cecil could handle the matter best,
but he is an avowed partisan of the Con-
tederacy. and would arouse too much party
feeling on the other side. If the thing is to
be done, must do it myself, and then,
from all I hear andknow, the resolution will
be carried, Lord Palmerston being quite dis
posed to accept the declaration BY Parla-
ment in favor ofa policy which he person
ally approves. 'But," he continued, 81
cannot speak without more knowledge of
the subject than / now possess, and should
be glad if you could give me brief, furnish
ing the necessary statistics of the population,
the institutions, the commercial and politl-
cal prospects of the Southern States, in Or
der that when the moment comes I may be
fully armed" procured the necessary in
formation from the best authorities and
placed it in islands. Every dayseemed to
brlng the moment for its use nearer, and the
general feeling in the House of Commons
was perfectly ripe for the motion in favor of
recognition" when the news of the battle
of Gettysburg came like thunder-clap
upon the country, and from that day not
another word was heard in Parliament
about recognition. A few days afterward I
saw Mr.. Disraeli, and his exact words were:
I'VE nearly put our foot in it."--Lettp, an

STREET RAILWAY MOTORS.

While railway motors are becoming
a leading topic of discussion hereabOuts,
it may be some satisfaction to know
that they are not less so in other locali-
ties. We shall, doubtless, have to de-
eide before long, rot only the propriety
of permitting the motor to traverse the
national pike, but the streets of the city.
That it is coming to this, no one who
has kept pace with the Improvements
that are being made in street motors,
can doubt When men are willing to
invest millions Of dollars in Gevices of
this kind, it is pretty good evidence
that they have passed the point Of
mere experiment.
Electric motors for railways have
been occupying the attention of cleo
tricians for a long time, and it is nowibe-
heved that the experiment has at
tanned practical success. The best
known patents are those of EDISON,
FIELD and SIEMENs. Recently, to pre-
vent conflict between the two leading
American patertees, EDISON and
FIELD, negotiations were begun to Sc
cure a consolation of their interests,
and, according to the New York Times,
this consolidation has just been accom-
Plished. On the report of Professor
GEORGE +. BARKER, of tho University
of Pennsylvania, the patents have been
appraised a. two million dollars, and a
company has been formed, with twen-
ty thousand shares, of one hueired
dollars each, to work the united
motor mechanisms. 1t is said
that the company will use
the Edison dynamo and the Field
device for prOpelling the ears. The first
experiments will be made on EDIsOS'S
railway at Menlo Park, two steam en-
gines being employed to generate cleo
tricity-ene at each end of the route.
BY one device collisions will be avoided,
because the simple approach of two
trains within certain distance of each
other will deprive them of their mo-
tive power. EDIsON's experiments at
Menlo Park heretofore have secured a
speed of one mile in two minutes, and
even q higher rate can be obtained un-
der the present improvements. Special
efforts will be made to introduce the
new motor on the elevated roads in
New York, and sanguine hopes are en-
tertained that it will come into general
use not only on street railways but even
on the railroads nowusing steam.

A GEOLOGICAL EXPEDITION FROM
THE W. VA. UNIVERSITY.

Prof /. c. WHITE, Of the chair of
Geology and Natural History in the
West Virginia University, arrived in
the city yesterday, with number Of
the students of that institution, and
will proceed this morning down the
Ohio river, making explorations be-
tween this city and Huntington. They
will use a skiff as the most
convenient vessel for their purposes,
and Prof. WHITE proposes to make q
careful examination with a view Of as
certaining the depth Of the coal at va
rious points Of the river below. This is
new and very important field Of in
vestigation. If it shall be ascertained
that the coal underlying the river can
be reached by shaft at any points be-
low, it would be discovery of i'm
mense value, in view of the early COM
pletion Of the Ohio River railroad.
Prot. WHITE stands second to none
Of the Biologists who have given prac-
teal attention to the natural resources
of our State. He is member OF the
Geological Surveying Corps new in ac-
tive service in Pennsylvania and has
distinguished himself in that field of
labor for great skill and accuracy. He
has also devoted much time to study
ing and exploring the mineral fields
Of our own State, his papers
appearing from time to time
in the JrgiRjNS, published at
Staunton. For this reason any results
Of the present expedition by Prof.
WHITE will be of great value. We are
pleased to inform our readers that the
reports of Prof WHITES explorations
during the present trip will appear from
time to time in the REGISTER and will,
we are sure, obtain a large reading,
especially that part of his examina.
tions on the Ohio rver.
After leaving the river, Prof. WHITE
and his class will 60 through the Kan
awha Valley and over into Virginia,
continuing their explorations through
about four weeks. We wish him and
the young gentlemen Of the University
pleasant and profitable trip.
