Ak Illinois Salon has conceived a new
way of attacking inteinperencp. His
plan is to abandon the aessnlt on tho
stronghold itself, and to make the attack
on the approaches. He has introduced a
bill to prohibit treating, by imposing a
fine of from $20 to $100 on every man
who invites another to take a drink with
him. This would be bard on men accns-
tomed to get free drinks.
Gatt. Bobnsidi, the new Senator elect
from Rhode Island, made a spoech before
a Post of the Grand Army of the Repub
lic at Providence, on Monday, in which
be declared that he saw no cause for
alarm in the election of so many ex-Con-
federate officers to Congress, and that it
was time for the policy of bato to cease.
This enoouragos the hope that the Sena- I „tep forward to relieve it from the conee-
tor’s course will be conciliatory and con- quences of its own discretion and mbs
PLAIN TALK. |
It is possible that the Radicals may .
force through Congress, lieforo the -lih of
March, the “strong measures lor the
South” agreed upon in their oanenses.
But it is evident that the effect will be to
further dtvido and weaken their own
parly. The following protest and warn
ing is by the Boston Trantcript, a paper
w ho e devotion to the Ropnblicen party
has never been questioned: “The country
does not want to be put under pupilage
again. It is very distrustful of the man
who wields the executive force of the
Government, and manifests a fatal facil-
ity for turning his ear to dangerous oouu-
sel. The President bus lost his popularity
ut the North from that cause. Besides,
he jumps from one alternative to another
directly opposite in Southern matters
with suoh readiness that tho
publio confidence in bis judg
ment has boon severely Impaired,
nod doubts are becoming more common
as to his intentions. It is apparent from
tho tenor of populer opinion that the
Administration has not tho strength requi
site for carrying out an extreme policy at
the present time. If its acts produce re
bellion at the South the North will not
nervative.
The following is ssid to be the new
proposition of compromise which the
Conservatives of Louisiana are now en
deavoring to have effected, and which
they think will eventually be adopted :
“The question of tho election of 1H72 is
not to be considered ; the compromise is
to bo restricted to 1874 matters; the Con.
servatives are to he given the seven seuts
in the Lower House, which will give them
sixiy-three out of one hundred and eleven
votes; tho Senate is to remain Republi
can.” This wonld be a partial atoseuent
for the late military interference, bat it
would strengthen Kellogg and leave the
Radicals a majority on joint ballot in tho
Legislature.
A wniTKn in the New York Evening
Mail says that Va'masoda, folio has been
recently appointed Governor Gouoral of
Cubs, is well known to bo as liountious os
he is cruel. Ho is no respsoter of per
sona, nor of aooialNtamling where women
are concerned, but insulin nil alike, ac
cording to his fancy, when he thinks that
he may slo so with impunity. Stories in
this connection, odds the writer, might
be unfolded which would ooitaiuly en
rage Americana as much as they do Cu-
buns ; but it is unuugli to Hay that these
latter loathe him ns much for his sensu
ality as they dread him fur his oruelty.
Opening fob tue Tuibd Tebm.—Tho
New Orleans Time* gives an account of n
meeting of “ex-Union soldiers and sail-
lorn" held in that city on Wednesday
night to form a league for the promotion
of the eloetion of Gen. Grant to a third
Presidential term. Tho mooting did not
perfect an organization, ob'there were
some present who misunderstood the call
and in the confusion bu adjournment whs
eirried. But the 77me* says that another
meeting will be held in a few dayB, when
a “third term lougtie" will probably bo
foriuod, and the prospects of securing
nearly the entire array of ex-soldiors mid
sailors are favorable.
A Bayonet Ltihsi.atob.—A dispatch
olsewhore published uunoiiDct’S the exptil
sion from Kellogg's Legislature of Ward
Representative of Grant parish. This
Ward is ono of tho men, to make way for
whom the Federal military sutured tho
llousi of Representatives of Louisiana
and took out five Democrats who had
beuu elected ‘by the people. It was not
claimed for him that he received a major
ity of the voles, but that the whites “in
timidated” the negroes from voting for
him. Ward's conduct on Wednesday, for
which ho was expelled yesterday, will
serve to show whother he was a mail mofe
likely to submit to iulimidulion or to at
tempt to intimidate others. Word tried
to make n speech, and the Speaker ruled
him out of ordor. He refused to come to
order, and the Speakor direoted the
Sorgeant-at-nruis to make him take his
aeat. This wa< done, but Ward immedi
ately left his seat, went out and got bis
pistol, returned and flourished it at the
Speaker, tho Sergeant-at-arms, and the
whole Legislature, defying them to mo
lest him. He was Anally subdued and
takes to the calaboose. Ou Friday, ns we
learn by telegram, ho win expelled. lie
went in nt the point of tho bayonet, and
went out at ihn poiut of a bout, and it is
hard to toll whether his ingress or egress
was the rnoHt disgraceful. The Picayune
says that during the “nkiimmage" with
Ward oil Wednesday, Mr. Ray (a Radical
member) “charged that Ward was respon
sible for the liones of colored wuu now
b’.eaohing in Colfax, and has never been
a legal member of the Legislature. He
said that ho was always a dead weight oil
the Legislature, and sought every menus
in his power to create riot and blood

to sustain the Gensrul Government in all
proper metuores tor preserving the qaiet
of Southern communities and guarantee
ing tho rights of all persons therein. It
will not do the least thing to maintain the
reign of corrupt oarpet-baggery at the
South while frowning down the schemes
of anarchists and revolutionists. It is
keenly watolrng every movement of the
President and his intimate friends to de
tect, if possible, any ramsins of the un
pardonable political heresy of tho third
term. The Southern Republicans can

ALABAMA LEGISLATURE.
Thurtday 1 tith.—In the Senate, among
the noviuatter introduced on tho oull
of the districts was a joint resolution
asking Congress to aid the Texas Pacific
Railroad, which passed by a nearly unan
imous volo. Tho oommittoo ou Revis-
siou of L iws reported favorably ou the
bill to allow tax collectors further lime
in collecting tuxes, the consideration of
which was cut short by a special order.
Tho bill to authorize the Governor to
lense the Penitentiary Farm for the term
of eight years, which was passed withont
amendment. House bill to amend sec
tion 3700 of tho Revised Code, [makes
graud larceny of many oflfonces now call
ed petit larceny, and makes grand larceny
of cotton and corn stealing, no matter
what the amount stolen,] was passed by
tho Senate. A committee reported fa
vorably to the bill for the better proteo
tion of game in tbo State, which was re
(erred to the uommittee on Internal Iin
provouients.
Tho House adopted a resolution to oV
the counties for tho last time on Satur
day next. A number of new bills wore
introduced, and the following reforred
To declare AV. E. Given, a liner batween
I’flto and Bullock contics, a citizen of
Pike; by Daniols—-To ameud section 1284
of tho Code (.elating to fences and
stock); To authorize tho Commissioners
Court of Russell to levy n speoial tax on
d“gs, guns, Ac., for school parposos; Mr.
Dillon—To define a laborer’s lien and to
prescribe the manner of onforoing the
same. Tho following was lead ouce: To
enforce the collection of poll taxes (malt,
ing failure to pay n misdemeanor.
Passed—To aid iu the collection of debts 11
by garnishment. The House special com
mittee reported favorubly on the Senate'
Election lull, which wns made a special
order for Monday. Tho Honse adopted
tho Sonate's memorial to Congress asking
aid for the Texas Pacific Railroad. The
bill to amend section IltiilS of the Code
(so us to make it burglary to break into
eolton pens, corn cribs, Ac.) was voilent
ly opposed by tile Radical members, but
finally passed by a vote of oil to 1’
Now that the President has called an
extra scssiun of the Senate of tho Uuitod
States, to couveno immediately after the
I til of March, tho force and pertinence of
Mr. Thurman’s remark that PiucUback
can as well bo admitted then as now, bo
oornes apparent. As the Radicals of the
Seuatc have kept Pinckbnck out in the
cold for two years, there cau
no urgent necessity for cousuut
ing tho last two weeks of this
session in the eflort to admit him
neglecting in the meantime legislation
necessary for tho carrying ou of the Gov
eminent. Let the Senate perfect and
pass the Appropriation and other necea,
sary bills, which must he passed before
tho 4th of March, and decide Pinobbaek
ease iu tho extra session called by Gen.
Grant.
FAILURE OF TI1E LIEN LAW.
We doubt very much whether tho Leg
islature of Georgia represented the wishes
of the people in rejecting the bill for the
re-enactment of the Crop Lion law. It
was simply a bill to permit any farmer de
siring it to mortgage his crop in order to
obtain advances enabling him to make it.
If it had compelled anyone to thus to
mortgage his crop, or had given the mer
chant, factor or broker a lien on it with
out special bgreoment, tho case would
have boon quite a different one. Rut as
this was not tho case, we see our legisla
tors undertaking to decide that tho people
wbo want to make such liens do not un
derstand their own interests—that credit
of this kind will bo on injury to them and
ought to bo prohibited by law. The in
tention may be a good one, but we sub
mit that this is a little too much govern
ment. One of the dearest rights of the
citizen is the liherly to manage his own
business according to hiR own judgement,
and the true province of wise legislation
is not to decide for him whother he un
derstands his own interests or not, but
only to restrain him from conducting his
business to the injury of others. But the
refusal to permit crop liens is based upon
the idea that the law must protect the
farmer from himself. We believe that it
is an ere neons one, and will not receive
the tan-.-on of the people.
To the rrt ee of Oterfla.
We ere authorized, says the Thomasville
Timet, of tbetithinet., bytheoommiteeof
citizens on entertainment at tbeapproaoh-
ing meeting of the State Agricultural So
ciety, on the 23rd of this month, to ex
tend a cordial invitation to the members
of theGeorgia Press to visit Thomasville on
thut occasion. They os well as the mem
bers of the association, will be entertained
by onr citizens.
The meeting of the association promises
to be e highly entertaining one. The sea
son will be mild and pleasant, especially to
those in middle and upper Georgia. We
trust that a large number of the fraterni
ty will take advantage of this occasion to
visitour floarishingtowu. And weoan as
sure them, that they will meet with a hearty
welcome at the hands of onr citizens.
Parties who propose to come will please
send their names to Judge R. H. Hard

A WONDERFUL INVENTION.
THE PEN SCPHESEDED 81 A WBITINO MA-
CUINB.
Wo were shown yesterday, in the office
of Col. E. W. Cole, President of the Nash
ville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway,
an invention which claims something mure
than a passing notioe. It is called the
Type-writer, and is useful for oil kinds of
manuscript writing. A simple touob upon
a key prodaoes a letter, and the actien is
as easy as that of a piano; consequently the
speed with which writing can be per
formed i i only limited by the celerity with
which the operator osn move his fingers.
There are experts in the country who cau
already write eighty words to the minute.
The writing is done in e small oapital,
ith either blaok or purple ink. The lat
ter is used when an impression is wished
for tho letter-book, and the result is far
superior to the best penmanship, being
plainer and muoh more compact, thns sav
ing much time in tbo rendtngthereof, be
sides the minor consideration of station
ery.
It will take twenty-fonr manifold oopies
at once, audfonr on ordinary letterpaper.
In appearance it is highly ornamental,
and not nnlike a sewing machine. The
keys are in four rows, of eleven eaob, so
compactly arranged that but little move
ment of the arm and wrist is required for
its manipulation. These forty-four keye
comprise all the letters of the alphabet,
tho dollar and plus marks. A bar in front
of the key-board makes the spacos, and u
.treadle throwsthe sheets of paper to a new
line at p.easuro.
The mechanism would he diffi
cult to describe in words. It is at once
simple and efficacious. The types are ar
ranged in s circle, and strike a common
center upon the depression of any par
ticular key. The keys also act upon a
sort of ratchet-work, which releases the
carriage carrying the sheet of paper, and
an ordinary clocks-apring carries it along
to a position ready to receive an impres
sion from the next type. This spring also
carries along the spools containing the
ribbon covered with a peonliar chemical
substauco, from whioh the ink is obtained
The ribbons will last until the whole sur-
faoe is used three or four years; and can
be readily re-inked.
A treadle, as stated before, throws the
enrrage to a now line and back to the start
ing point. The distunes between the
lines cau be graduated at pleasure.
The usefulness of the maohine is ap
parent at a glanoe. Ita speed will rapidly
bring it into use, wherever muoh wrting
is to be performed. The result—its plain
writing—will commend itself to those un
able to write a good hand. The number of
manifold copies that can be taken at onoe,
will he a great desideratum to those issu
ing circulars. The facility with which
bills can be prepared and the beautiful re
sult, will moot with the favorable atten
tion of merobantB. To the lawyer, it will
be invaluable.
It will be of great use to phonogtaphers.
This costly service, so necessary in the
eonrts, etc., will be cheapened. Alrendy
Eastern phouogmphers have, since its
adoption, reduced thior scale of prices,
and now bring their transcripts into court
at !> o'elock tbe next uiorniug. Instead
of I he lawyer having to wade slowly
through a mass of penmanship, often ob
scure, because of the great haste required
in writing, he has before him large print,
and which ho oau read as rapidly as the
characters in a book.
We learn from Mr. II. C. Carson, tbe
stenographer in tho main office of the N.
0. and St. L. Railway, iu this oity, that
this machine was only introduced in its
present porfoct form last July; that liOU
have already been sold, and that the cele
brated Remington Company is st present
engaged on a contract of 25,000. but so
great has been the demandfor these ma
chines that the utmost capacity i f h :ir
manufactory iu unable to keeppaco with
the orders coming from all parts of tbe
country.
The maohine is used by Mr. Carson for
the correspondence of the offices of the
President and General Superintendent of
the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis
Railway, to the exoluB'ou of the pen, aud
it gives perfect satisfaction.
It is so simple and complete in its eon
strnction, and does its work with snch ac
curacy and dispatch that it must soon
oomo intogenorul use.—Kuahville Union,

Consumptives, Take Notice—Every mo
ment of delay make your euro more hopeless,
p-nd muoh depends on the judicious choice of a
remedy. Tho amount of testimony in favor of
Dr. Scbonek’s Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for
consumption, far exceeds all that can bo
brought to support tho pretentions of any other
medicine. See Dr. Sclionek’s Almanac, con
taining tho certificates of many persons of the
highest respectability, who have boon restored
to health, after being pronounced incurable by
physicians of acknowledged ability. Sckenck’tf
Pulmonic Syrup alone lias cured inimy, as
these evidences will show; but the euro is otton
promoted by two other romodics which Dr.
Schenck provides for tho purpose. These ad
ditional remedies are Scbench’s Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake PH's. By the timoly use
of those medioinos, according to direction?, Dr
Seh-.*nck certifies that most any case of Con*
sumption may be cured.
Dr. Schcnck Is professionally at his principal
office, corner Sixth and Arch Sts, Philadelphia,
every Mon lay, wboro all letters for advico
must bo addressed.
