IlnraUun'a Remarkable Preposition.
oiii the ('hicaqu Times.]
Washington, Jun. 6.—Ex-Con-
gressinun Jerc Haralson, colored, of
Alabama, is preparing a lengthy let
ter to be submitted to tlie President,
setting forth tlie fact tliut certain
statements have been published de
rogatory to Ills people, and asking
that a 'commission tic appointed to
Investigate the matter. Haralson
will recite tlie charges that have
been made against tlie colored people
of this State, that they are in a shite
of general degradation; tliut they reject
religion, arc very superstitious, and
practice all sorts of conjuration. He
asks on behalf of Ills people that these
allegations be investigated, and says
that if upon official enquiry it is found
that they are true lie will recommend
disfranchisement.
Haralson called tlie President's at
tention to this subject several months
ugo, and requested then tliut a com
mittee be appointed to investigate it
for tlie President’s own information,
but forsome reason the matter lias been
neglected, and he lias again found it
necessary to renew thesuhjeet, which
lie will ilo in a more formal wuy by
addressing the President a communi
cation stating the full facts and re
peating his request for an investiga
tion. Tlie document will be ready in
eight or ten days, when it will at
once be submitted.
Speaking of President Haves and
ttie way in which tlie colored |>eople
of tlie South regard his Southern pol
icy, Haralson said : ‘‘Sonic of the
colored people feel, sir, tliut Mr.
Hayes lias bad advisers around him,
anil tliut lie does not know tlie real
condition of utlaira in tlie South,
while others are firmly of the opinion
tiiat Mr. Hayes lias gone back on Ids
party and luis literally disfranchised
tlie colored people. They all feel,
however, that their last hope is gone
of receiving moral support from the
National Administration, for tlie Ad
ministration 1ms surrendered them
up to their old musters by granting to
the people of tlie South in time of
>eaee what they fought for in war."
"e says tliut the colored men are sel
dom "heard to say much regarding
their situation, because, living as they
do among Southern people, and being
forsaken by tlie National Government
they have'got to do the best they'can
and make terms with their old mus
ters. He has been intending to call
upon tlie President, hut fears to do so
lest tlie colored people of Ills State
will lie made to suffer thereby, us in
use the facts become known tliut he
was complaining here to tlie Presi
dent the colored peirnlo of Alabama
would be made to suffer in a thousand
little, quiet, yet effective ways. He
thinks that the colored people are no
longer an element, but serve only to
the advantage of the Southern Demo
crats, for they now have full sway
with increased representation In Con
gress, based upon the votes of the ne
gro population, which cannot be
counted for unytning. By tlie next
election be says there will not be
more than one or two Republicans
from the whole South. He lias tlie
evidence in his case ready, and is
going to renew the fight for ttie seat
now occupied by Gen Shelley as soon
as Congress meets again.

From the Xew York Sun.]
Raoul Pictet isu gentleman living
in Switzerland, who claims to have
invented u machine for making ice
in any climate—tlie hotter tlie bet
ter -through the use of what is called
ankydrous sulphurous oxide, u
liquid that smells like a mixture of
brimstone and eoal gas. He exhibi
ted his process in the Centennial Ex
hibition, and Mr. Oscar Vezin made
several tons of iee by the same pro
cess, ut 530 West street, yesterday
afternoon. Nearly 1,800 pounds of
oxide were placed in a tubular holler
or refrigerator, from whicli tlie
vapors were drawn by a pump and
compressed ill a second tubular holl
er, where they were condensed by a
steam of croton passing through the
tubes. The condensed oxide wus
sent buck to tlie refrigerator through
a smull pipe, where it was again
volatilized, and used over with an in-
Huiti'smal loss. By tlie volatilization
an intense cold was produced, which
was carried oft - by an iincongeulable
solution of glycerine and water.
Tliis was driven into a largo tank
filled with cases of galvanized iron
containing pure Croton water, and
the water in these eases was frozen
within twenty-four hours by the cold
solution of glycerine and water. The
same oxide issued for months, the
only escape being through the action
of the piston. Mr. Vezin says it
costs sixty-five cents a pound, and
only four cents’ worth is lost during
the production of twenty-four tons of
lee.
When the writer entered tlie room
all the steam and water pipes were
covered with frost. Workmen were
lifting the cans of galvanized iron
from the water tanks, and dumping
out blocks of ice, cadi weighing eigh
ty-six pounds. The cans are shuped
like the box of un opera glusH. There
is no trouble in removing their con
tents. The ice was of yellowish hue,
hut Mr. Vezin said that was owing to
impurities in tlie Croton water. With
pure sluing or well water lie declared
It would conic out pure as crystal.
With larger machinery he said that
tlie cost of production, including ma
terial, labor, wear and tour, insurance
and interest, would not exceed $1 per
ton. The lank used yesterday con
tained 646 cans, hut it wus said that
the machinery would turn out an av
erage of a ton an hour.
A few drops of tlie oxide were
turned into a tumbler. Within thir
ty seconds the inside was coated with
iec. Half a cup of warm water wus
then poured Into the tumbler, mid in
