Wholesale Slaughter.

Some months ago we met with promi-
nent Republican from the State Of Louisi
ana, while travelling in a Northern State,
and he remarked to us that Louisiana
would repudiate every member of Con-
gress who voted for the Morrison bill. He
further said that there was a revolt from
the Democratic party by some of the
wealthiest and most influential residents
of that State ON the tariff question, and
that he believed the moral support which
would thus be given to the Republican
party would insure the electoral vote of
Louisiana for Blaine and Logan We had
no doubt Of the sincerity of the gentle
man. belief, but could not bring ourself
to the same conclusion. Recent events
have confirmed the first part OF his state
ment, and that is so dove-tailed with the
other as to incline to the impression at
least that the whole of his prediction will
be verified. A dispatch from New Orleans
dated the 18th furnishes the following in
formation on the subject, and from it we
learn that Mr.. E.. John Ellis, who has fig-
ured somewhat for the free-trade Democ-
racy in Virginia, and especially in Mr..
fuckers district, has received his desert.
The fate of the Louisiana free-traders,
ought to be the fate of every other free
trader in the South. The dispatch says
The work of nominating Congressman
| in this state is nearly completed. There
has been a general upheaval, and nearly
| entirely new delegation will be sent to
| Washington, this change being due to the
| tariff. All except one of the present
Democratic congressman from the State
! voted for the Morrison bill. The new
delegation to be elected in November may
vote differently, for it will be nearly unan-
| imously in favor of protection. this result
being brought about by the tariff agitation
| of the planters. In the Second District
represented at present by E. John Ellis,
whose denomination was rendered impossi-
BILE OH account of his tariff views. w. L.
| Houston, a strong protectionist, was NOM
mated and bound by q very strong reso-
lutions pledging him to vote protec-
ton. In the Third district E. j. Gay.
the richest sugar planter in the state, and
worth probably ten millions, accepted the
nomination rendered him by the Democrat
| ic convention. He is of course, an extreme
protectionist, and as he is willing to spend
some money, may be successful in defeat;
ing Kellogg. In the Sixth district Z. L.
Lewis. the sitting member was defeated
entirely on the Morrison issue. MI
Blanchard, of the Fourth district, is the
only member Of the present delegation
likely to return to Congress. In the Fifth
district, there is an ugly split, and in the
First no nomination has yet been made,
but the contest lies between the three
protectionists. The delegation, there
fore. will stand nearly unanimously in
favor OF protection, whereas in the last
Congress Mr.. Hunt was the only Democrat
who voted against the Morrison bill.

Stationary Engineers.

Lecture By Professor A. Jay Dubois.
 At the meeting of the Stationary Engineers held last evening at their hall in Clark build ing President Frank A. Foster presided and introduced Prof. A. Jay Dubois, of the Sheffield Scientific school, who delivered g lecture on Steam and the Steam Boiler" The lecture was very able treatment of the subject from scientific standpoint, and made w&hal extremely clear and instructive. He reviewed in passing the history and de- velopment of the application of steam as 8 motive power. It was not until James Watt effected his discoveries that the steam engine had any practical value and Watt has been dead but sjxty-three years. Professor Dubois expects that the Watt of electricity is yet to appear and he thinks that the utilization of that marvellous force may be as sudden as was that of steam. He estimates that the steam engines in exist ence at twenty million horse power, or four times that of Niagara Falls. Taking twelve hundred millions as the worlds population, he estimates that the steam engine has doubled the working power of the race. And yet steam has practically been in use less than century. Easing his prediction upon the history of the steam engine, as well as upon the present knowledge and achievements of electricians, Professor Dubois expresses the belief that electricity will supersede steam as the worlds great motive power of the future.
 At the conclusion of Professor DuBois' able paper the president read letter from President Watrous. of the Consolidated road, regretting his inability to be present.
