A remarkable invention is described by an
 electric contemporary. It is a device for photographing in a telephone exchange all persons using the telephones on wires ema mating therefrom. The photograph appears on ribbon which runs under the eye of the operator. If the person using the instru- ment is not subscriber the fact is at once the telephone is located is charged fixed sum for allowing his instrument to be used by one not entitled to use it. Each ribbon will hold 250 photographs, and when full will be filed away. It is claimed that the tele- phonic service can be much improved if the use of the instrument is restricted to sub- scribers only, as is likely to be the case if the photographic device is attached. This is in- genious il. not practical.
 The continued reports of abuses of con- victs by contractors for their labor in South Carolina have induced, the governor to order an Investigation The need of an investiga- ton is indicated by the Charleston News, which says Last winter it was shown that the rate of mor tality among the convicts em- pIoyed in the phosphate mines averaged from 10 to 12 per cent, while numbers of them were returned to the penitentiary more dead than alive and suffering from incurable dis eases contracted in camp. Recently ten con- victs were returned to the penitentiary from the convict camp on the Georgetown railroad completely broken down in health; and still more recently the wretched condition of the convicts employed on the Greenwood: Lau- rens and Spartanburg railroad has been brought to light. The condition of the con- vict camp on the Georgetown railroad is said by the superintendent of the penitentiary to have been horribly filthy, and it is admit ted by the contractor himself that he had no hospital accommodations for the caf@ of the eyoH,

Those who have noticed the woes of street car horses during the last dreadful week will approve the action of Philadelphia ladies' society for the prevention of cruelty to ami malls, which caused placards to be placed in the cars requesting that they be not stopped except at street crossings, on acoo unt of the strain upon the horses. A little attention paid to this matter all the year round would not be out of place. It is the strain of start ing cars that hurts the horses rather than drawing heavy loads.

It has been going the rounds of the press that no colored man has ever obtained pa tent for an invention in this country. It now appears that such is not the fact. A colored preacher of Princeton, Kentucky, has patent for dinner pail for working men, ont of which he has made large profit. Another patent has been given to a colored lawyer in Louisville, who devised an apparatus for registering the attendance public meetings Probably these are not the only instances of colered inventors.

with the husband, induced her to part with
all the money she had in the house, besides
some clothing belonging to Nor dead child,
the gypsy desiring the clothing for her own
little daughter. As socn as he heard OF the
affair, the husband put Marshal Robinson on

Vile entirely out in the cold, aud virtually
seals that hurg's death warrant. The latter
place is only about three miles from Colfax,
and, owing to big cut there, 1t is impCssi-
bic for the railroad company to establish a
station nearer than mile and one-half OF
that site. When PiainsvIlle was laid oGt it

The Revised cry Charter.


The assertion was made IN this Journal
tea days ago that the revised city char
ter should be snbmiaed u the approval
Of our citizens through the pablic press,
and We again repeat that statement 1t
is matter that yitally Interests every
property holder. and the taxpayer should
know and pass upon such laws - may at
feet his interests The assertion was
made to the city attorney q day or two
since, by prominent taxpayer. to the ef-
fec: that the revised charter should be
oub.ished. That officials answer was to
the point that nobody about the papers
knew anything about the law; that there
was things in it tthe new charter that it
was not well for the STATESMAN or the
people TO knoB-they would object to 1t
il they knew it." The gentleman quail
fed by saying that anybody so disposed
could 90 TO his office and read the revised
charter.
This last proposition is ridiculous IN
the extreme. How many OF our citizens
could read and digest that document in
the attorneys Office, more especially in
the short lime before the Legislature
meets. We believe it is the intention OF
Mr.. Caton TO present the revised charter
to that body for adoption, and We doubt
il there are half dozen persons in this
MACE who knowthe nature or merits OF the
proposed new laws that shall govern this
CITY. We have heard many Of our prom
ineut citiz.ns assert :hat this is unfair,
and We heartily concur. When We con-
slider that the city attorney, the very per-
son who should know best, makes the
statement above referred TO, We are dou-
bIy Convinced that the procedure is decd
edly out Of order.
When San Francisco revised her city
! charter the work WAS done by fifteen free-
holders chosen by the taxpayers from
every profession and trade, among them
such men as Judge Hagar, John +. Swift,
men Of sound sense and Judgment, and
when finished the work was submitted to
the peopl,. of that city for approval
Whether the revised city charter OF

nature IF its contents, and We must say
the present procedure smurks strongly OF

now as in times past is ever on the alert
to protec, the interest of taxpayers, and
IN their behalf we demand that the re-
vised city charter be published.
