For twonty-three years, man and

though il was the absolute mentor of
the Republic. 1t were long to tell Of
the violence of its reign, and the un-
broken night of its despotism. Its
deeds of darkness would fill volume.
Its rogueries were us the sands upon
the sea shore; its violations of the con-
stitution as the leaves upon the trees
Every Office that existed at the time Of
its ascendancy, or that was created
afterward, was filed with partisan,
and not only a mere partisan in null
titude of cases. but an officious, offen-
sive and aggressive partisan--one Of
the gadhy kind. pestferous. insectiver-
Gus and always ON the wing. In a
political sense, Democrat was not
only hewer of wood and drawer of
water, but he belonged to an inferior
race of human beings, deficient in
mentality, and utterly incapable Of
sharing in the administration of the
Government because of it, even if he
had not been traitor per Sc, whose
rights the results of the civil war had
forfeited and whose future liberation
or citiz enship in the land would have
to depend much upon his future actions.
If these brought forth fruits meet fol
rcpentance-for example, if he put on
a collar of political serfdom, and
had engraved thereon the single
word "slavc his domicile might
safely then he vouchsafed. and the
gracousness still be extended to him

osty that it would be Jeshurun for

had for so long been its sheet anchor,
the military order for so long its ulti-
matum. Federal spoils for so long had
furnished it perfect cohesion; the iron
of its war begetting had so long fur
nished it perfect discipline. So long
had been the sound sleep of its undis-
turbed confidence, and so thoroughly
did it believe in the constant iteration
and reiteration of it's own hypocrisy
and cant, that when one fine day the
Democratic wolf did come along sure

A SEA TELEPHONE.
Communicating Under Water by Means q
Novel Device.

Novel Device.
Some interesting experiments have
lately been made to test the feasibility
OF enabling ships to communicate with
one another by means of what may be
called sea telephone. 1t is known
that water is good transmitter OF
sound, and that the velocity with which
sound is conveyed through it is about
four times as great as its velocity
through the air.
Experiments made ON the Lake OF
Geneva long ago showed that the sound
of submerged bell could be heard by
means of special form of ear trumpet,
also placed beneath the water, at a dis.
tance of several miles from the bell.
Mr. Boyer, Of H. NJ S. Malabar, has
lately in measure revived this expert
ment, only he has used telephone in
stead OF an ear-trumpet Us receiver Of
the sounds transmitted.
The apparatus consists of a large,
fiat bell or gong placed just below the
water line at a ships side, and which
is SO connected by means OF tube
with the deck that II hammer can be
made to net on tho bell ut WILL This
is the transmitter. The receiver con-
sists of Il Bell telephone, with large
diaphragm placed in the center of the
bell and connected by means OF wires
with another telephone ON the deck Of
the ship. This second instrument is
held to the Observers ear.
BY means of this apparatus it is found
that sound can DO rendily conveyed
through the water for upward of IL mile.
and it is claimed that signals can be
thus made under the sea which will be
quito independents of fog or stormy
weather.
There seems to us to- be only one weak
point in this method Of signaling. and
that is the want of a means Of calling
the attention of tho distant receiver
when the transmitter wishes to send o
signal. In the working Of the ordinary
telephone each observer has his signal.
ing bell. but this is impossible with the
sea telephone. In tho absence Of fog.
too, the ordinary system Of signaling.
either by means Of fiags, or at night by
flashing lights, meets ell requirements.
