TAPPING THE WIRES.
One of the survivors of the Bornssia states
that seventy-six passengers embarked at
Liverpool. The vessel reeched Corunna on
the 23u. All aboard well. There were about
eighty Spanish emigrants embarked and on
the 26th she started for Havana. On the
next day a gale sprung up, which increased
in force, and finally the ship sprang a leak
amidships. All efforts to keep her free of
water were fruitless, and on the 2d inst. it
was determined to abandon her. Her boats
were launched and about a dozen passen
gers got into them. One boat swamped
almost immediately, and its occupants, five
in number, were drowned. The survivors
think the steamer mus)^ have gone down
with her living freight. A steam tug has
arrived at Liverpool and reports that she
spoke an inward bound bark with five more
survivors of the ill fated steamer on board
Later advices induce the owners of the
Borussia to believe that she is still afloat, as
6lie had water-tight compartments. She
had sixty-four steerage passengers from
Liverpool to New Orleans, and eighty from
Corunna to Havana. They aSso allege that
they are hopeful concerning her crew and
passengers.
A New York dispatch mentions a serious
mutiny on the hark Francisco Dodavoro,
from Saveona, on the 5th inst. The cook
and boatswain were killed, aad the mate
and another man wounded. The Captain
and remainder of the crew overpowered the
mutineers, killed and threw them over
board.
The Spanish Senate has approved the bill
for the abolishing of slavery in Cuba.
A heavy depreciation in the Manhattan
Gaslight stock is announced.
The board of arbitration at New York
have agreed upon a per centage of east
bound freight to be allotted to the seven
roads leading from Peoria eastward, whereby
the rates from all other Western cities will
be strengthened, and all cause of cutting
rates completely removed.
The dissatisfaction among the Irish peo
ple continue*, in consequence of the gov
ernment failing to apply the surplus of the
Irish Church fund for the relief of the
popular distress.
The cattle plague is spreading in Cyprus,
and no horned cattle are allowed to leave
or enter Lariiiea by sea or land.
The recent repoTts of difficulties between
the Czar and Czarewich are contradicted
in a letter to the North German Gazette.
Lester C. Turner, a prominent merchaut
of Siux Falls, Minn., was knocked down
yesterday and robbed of $10,000, the pro
ceeds of the sale of his business. The rob
bers escaped.
The Spanish Minister at Washington re
ceived a telegram from Havana stating that
Guerra surrendered at Holguin with fifty-
one men.
There was another collision in New York
harbor yesterday. A schooner ran into the
City of New York, tearing away most of her
joiner work. No one was injured but the
excitement w r as intense.
IT. A. Sikes, of Keuaedyville, N. Y.,
aged sixty years, jumped from the new
suspension bridge at Niagara yesterday.
His bodj’ has not been found.
The Fusiouists of Maine have held a meet
ing at Augusta, at which speeches were
made endorsing the action of the Governor
and council as being thoroughly in accord
with the law and constitution of the State. 1
Governor Garcelon made a speech, asking
that himself and council be sustained in the
course they had taken.
Lot M. Morrill urges Gov. Garcelon to
ask the opinion of the Supreme Court on
the disputed question, as provided by the
constitution.
Merry Christmas!
To-day being Christmas, in order that
all employed in the Morning News
establishment may have an opportunity
to join in the observances and participate
in the festivities of day, no paper
will he issued from this office on Friday.
To our friends and patrons, one and
all, old and young, far and near, we
send a “Merry Christmas” greeting.
May the day bring to the old pleasing
retrospection—to the young bright and
hopeful anticipations. May peace and
love prevail in every home, and happi
ness dwell in every heart. May the
family hoard he bountifully spread with
the good things of the season, and
“good digestion wait on appetite.
And health on both.”
Ulysses I. Crosses the Rubicon.
The article which we publish in an
other column from the Philadelphia
Record, giving in detail so much as could
be gathered by the local press of the
Radical caucusing and negotiation by
which the nomination of General Grant
as the candidate of the party for Presi
dent in 1880 has been determined
on, only confirms the statements
made in lees reliable form by the corre
spondent of the New York Herald, allu
sion to which was made in the News of
yesterday. Other political movements and
certain givings out in various quarters go
to confirm the Record's report, and we
think it may now be safely considered a
settled fact that Grant has made up his
mind to cross the political Rubicon, to dis
regard all considerations of propriety,and,
in defiance of the precedents and traditions
of the past, to become the candidate of
his faction, and thus bring to a practical
test the question whether the American
people are ready to surrender their re
publican form of government and
accept in its stead a military despotism.
Commenting editorially on the Phila
delphia movement, the Record says: “A
crystallization of leading Republican ele
ments, as embodied in the factions here
tofore devoted to the interests of some
of the more conspicuous rivals for the
forthcoming Presidential nomination,
has been quietly effected in this city
during the past two or three days. The
selected candidate is General Grant. The
movement will be pushed actively but
quietly, and without any formality as a
part of the programme. The various
Republican State Conventions are to be
assembled at an early day, and the dele
gations are to be instructed for General
Grant first, last and all the time. This
makes it morally certain that he will get
the nomination at Chicago in June. It
is to be regretted that he has apparently
decided to give up the proud position
he now occupies for the place of a Presi
dential candidate. The campaign is
sure to be conducted with acrimony.
:Yt the best he cannot be honored more
than he has already been, and in case of
defeat his future would be embittered by
the sense of failure.
Harpers' Weekly does not endorse the
stalwart programme to transfer the choice,
of Presidential electors from the people
to the Legislatures. It says:
“The Legislature, under the constitu
tional clause that we have quoted, may
with unquestionable legality vest the
choice of Presidential electors in the
Legislature. But such is the force of the
feeling which has grown up in the coun
try that the Presidential vote of the State
should be a popular and not a legislative
vote, that the party which made the
change in this State would throw itself
out of power at the next State election,
and so arouse and alienate feeling in the
doubtful States next year as to insure
their votes for the opposing Presidential
candidate. It is a safe prophecy that any
kind of gerrymandering which is intend
ed to baffle, and not to secure, an honest
expression of the popular will, however
legal, will prove to be a boomerang which
will return to plague the thrower.”
All the stalwart organs, however, say
must be done. If they succeed by
force and fraud in restoring Grant to
power, there will thereafter be no occa
sion for the election of Presidential elec
tors either by the people or Cm- State
Legislatures. We may then exjw/jt to see
ovemors of provinces. Sea/.tors and
members of Congress holdia*r their posi

Mr. Samford’^ Bill for ^Counting the | TELEGRAPH.
The bill introduced in the House of
Representatives, on Monda}% by Mr.
Samford, of Alabama, to regulate the
manner of counting the electoral votes
for President and Vice President of the
United States, is in some respects an im-1 EGYPT’S
provement on the various schemes that
have heretofore been submitted to Con
gress, but even were it to be adopted by
the present Congress, we doubt very
much whether any real good would be
accomplished by it. Mr. Samford’s bill
recognizes the co-ordinate and co-equal
authority of the houses in the matter of
counting the votes. Whenever there are
two or more certificates that shall be
counted which both houses agree dhall
be counted—voting separately upon
the question. If the houses dis
agree, then a majority vote in
convention of both houses shall
decide. A proviso is made that
when, before the counting of the
votes by Congress, the Supreme Court
of any State in regard to whose votes a
controversy may arise, has passed upon
and decided the question, then the elec
toral certificate in favor of which such
Supreme Court has decided shall be the
one counted. After all, Mr. Samford’s
bill leaves the determining of the elec
toral vote of a State to a body
not recognized in our electoral system
by the Constitution, and our recent

It is confidently annousced that Mr.
Edison has succeeded in overcoming all
difficulties, and has produced an electric
lamp which,for brilliant illumination,sim

that could be desired. In his new inven

could serve, and is not only as cheap as

The New York Herald devotes several
columns to a description of Edison’s new’
electric light, which it regards as an as
sured success. A correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, speaking of tho
newly invented lamp, says:
‘It can be made at a cost of twenty-five
cents. In its simplest form it is as cheap as
a gas tip. It is a plain glass globe, about
the size of a small orange or large lemon.
In the bottom is fitted a metallic stopper,
through which the copper wires pass, and a

horse shoe, connects the wires. The air is

The Pall Mall Gazette, referring to
General Burnside’s protest in the United
States Senate against allowing t’ae
French to cut an isthmus canal, because
it would be an infringement of the
“Monroe doctrine,” adds: “It is needless
to say that the United States Govern
ment has nothing whatever to do ’with
the Central American States.” It is well
understood in this country that the
United States Government has notlring
to do with those States in their present
condition, but our cousins should not
forget that an attempt by a European
power to extend its dominion over any
one of them would change the aspect of
affairs very materially.
Senator Windom, of Minnesota, de
sires to place the Southern negroes, who
may wish to emigrate, upon a ‘ ‘reserva
tion,” in the Indian Territory—the gov
ernment to care for them and feed them.
Having run the Indian annuities and ex
penses from $2,000,000 a year to $8,000,-
000, the Republican boom men are satis
fied that there is money in it; and if they
can get up a negro reservation, the
amount that will run through the
Quaker commissions would probably rise
to twenty or thirty’ millions, and all of
them would grow fat. The devices for
plundering the public treasury are at
least ingenious.
The last number of the Atlanta Sunny
South contains a very good likeness of
Judge A. O. Lochrane. In a brief and
highly encomiastic biography of that
distinguished gentleman, the Sunny
South says “his name has been favorably
mentioned by the press in connection
with the Vice Presidency’ of the United
States,” but fails to state on what ticket.
The Judge is understood to lead the
Grant boom in Atlanta, but as he is a
native of Ireland, the Constitution will
have to be amended to make him eligible
to the Vice Presidency.

David Meisenthaler, stockman, at
■VVhitcstone, Kansas, lately, while driv
ing his cows to the barn early in the
morning, was struck by an jerolite and
instantly killed. The stone is described
as about the size of a common water
bucket, and was formed of iron pyrites.

cordin\ and united support by the
mass'of the party in 1880.” Of Grant’s
suprporters and their aims it remarks:
* ‘Two classes of people are still clamor-
o»* is for Grant. One class includes the
raders in politics who hope to see in his
return to the White House a return of
their day’ of harvest, so rudely inter
rupted. The other and larger class in
eludes the army of moral cowards, the
timid folk who are still oppressed by the
nightmare of the civil war, and think
that Grant is needed at Washington to
repel some new imaginary attack upon
the capital, which only he can conquer.
It will he a sad day for the United
States when a combination of these two
classes can boast that it has dictated the
government of the nation.”
Asphalte is being substituted for the
stone pavements about the Palais Bour
bon, to which the French Deputies, after
an absence of more than nine years, have
returned. Street improvements in French
cities are under the superior control of
the State government; and, for historical
reasons, the substitution of asphalte for
stone, in particular localities in Paris, is
suggestive of a design to remove mate
rial for barricades. In this instance it
rather weakens the supposition that the
government has unlimited confidence in
the tranquillity of the population of the
French capital, it is significant, also,
that the troops in Paris muster 70,000
strong.
The Committee on Pilotage Abuses of
the New York Maritime Exchange have
agreed to communicate with leading
merchants of maritime ports, and ascer
tain their sentiments in regard to com
pulsory pilotage laws, preparatory to
securing aid, either State or national, in
doing away with compulsory pilotage in
each or any of the States, by a combined
gffort.
It is said that the Supreme Court Jus
tices share in the reluctance of the poli
ticians to meet the issue involved in the
greenback controversy, and that the But
ler Chittenden test case is not likely to
be allowed precedence over other cases
upon the calendar. It is possible that,
being a fictitious case, they may decline
to consider it at alL
Fifteen per cent of the entire revenue
of the government is paid for pensions,
and eighteen thousand names were added
last year to the list. Senator Davis
showed the other day that the United
States is paying annually to pensioners
more than do Great Britain, France,Ger
many, Austro-Hungary and Belgium
combined.
The New York Herald says that an
accident of some kind on one or the
other of the elevated roads is ueported
almost daily, and that sometimes two or
three occur in the same twenty-four
hours.
The New Orleans Times says Post
master General Key, in his role as a Re
publican, is very like that famous actor
who, when he played Othello, “ blacked
himself all over.”
A strong, wise, brave, true and pure
man is what the country needs in the
Presidential office. And that is why the
eyes of so many people turn to Bayard.

globe docs not become heated,

can there be any combustion. Break the
glass and the light is instantly and utterly
extinguished. The moment the air enters,
the light is out. It would be perfectly safe,
therefore, to use such a light in a powder
magazine. It will be of inestimable advan
tage on shipboard. It can be employed
with the happiest results in mines heretofore
extra hazardous. It will, by at once abol
ishing the use of matches in our houses and
introducing a light that neither heats nor
enkindles, vastly reduce the liability of
fires, aud thus speedily put down the
rates of insurance. This light will do
away with the necessity of heat in well
lighted apartments. One can produce a
dazzling illumination without changing the
temperature. There is no combustion, no
smoke. Wherever a wire can be stretched,

“The opinion is not entertained that an
entire city could be supplied with electric-
ty from a single establishment. New York,
or instance, is to be divided into twelve
districts, each receiving the magical current
from an independent centre. Edison’s fa
vorite theory on the subject is that the gas
companies will be glad to buy the right of
lighting under his invention, and that the
wires will be conveyed through the gas
pipes, the new lamp being simply screwed
on where the gas tips are found. Very fine
insulated wire will suffice. All the appoint
ments are simpl.
‘it is Edison’s careful estimate that the
cost of the electric light, according to this
•stem, will be something less than one-half
the cost of coal gas. He is sure it will not
•xceed that figure. Beyond that he pro
poses to use electricity as a motor, to ruu
sewing inaebiues and the like, and has pre
pared a metre for the exaet measurement of
the electricity furnished to each house. We
need not dwell upon the importance of this
discovery. It is revolutionary.”
POVERTY AND SUFFERING.
“I was dragged down with debt, poverty I
and suffering for years, caused by sick f
family and large bills for doctoring, which
did them no good. I was completely dis- I
couraged, until one year ago, by the advice j
of my pastor, I procured Hop Bitters and
commenced their use, and iu one month we
were all well, and none of us have seen a
sick day siuce. and I want to say to all poor
men, you can keep your families well a year

Senator Bayard at Home.
Of Senator T. F. Bayard at home, a
correspondent of the Boston Globe says:
“In his family Senator Bayard is the
model husband and the model father
His wife and his children are his jewels,
and he cherishes them with a true fath
er’s love and care. His family are his
companions, and when he is not en
gaged in his public duties at the capitol,
you are almost sure to find him with his
family at home. The Bayards live very
unpretentiously here at Washington,
in a plain, brick mansion, large
and roomy. The house is fur
nished with a view to the comfort
of the inmates rather than as an exhibi
tion of the wealth of its owner, and
therein it differs from the homes of most
wealthy men here in Washington. The
engravings and paintings upon the walls
are rare rather than numerous; the fur
niture is comfortable and artistic rather
than fashionable and showy. A favorite
rendezvous of the Senator’s is the dining
room—a large, substantial room with a
great, hospitable open dining table and
cheerful open grate fire always burning
on the hearth in cold wea her, and a
solid, substantial looking sideboard, the
lock of which is never turned, and
which never seems to be barren of
good cheer. Here the Senator likes to
gather about him his friends, both pub
lic and private, and there is rarely a daj’,
I fancy, during the session of Congress,
when Senator Bayard does not have one
or more notable men to dine with him.
After dinner he delights to sit in this
room and chat with his guests on the
various topics of interest of the day. n«
is an inveterate talker, and, when warmed
up upon a question of pubiic importance,
is apt to do three-quarters or seven-
eighths of the talking himself.”
