Cim, RionTg-So-CALLED.—Tho groat event
of Monday, in Congress, was the speech of
Hon. Alex. H. Stephens in opposition to the
Civil Rights bill, now pending in the House.
The fact that Mr. Stephens whs to speak had
been heralded for and wide, and the occasion
was looked to as one of peculiar interest.
The audience that assembled in the Repre
sentative hall is said to havs been immense,
and while Mr. Stephens read his speech,
and tbns emasculated it of all impul
sive oratory, so popular with the
orowd, in respect of solid and statesmanlike
views tha high expectations of the pnblio were
net disappointed. Judging front the meagre
synopsis of the Associated Press, Mr. Stephens
did net go into the merits of the question, as
we had hoped he wonld, bat confined himself
pretty much to the point of constitutionality
and the expediency of leaving all such legis
lation to the States. Bnt we do not propose
to comment on his views at present. Mr.
Stephens’ request that tho press wait for the
authorized report of his speech before ven
turing to criticise it, is reasonable, and we are
disposed to respect it.

HOUSE.
Mr. Sypher, of Louisiana, asked leave to
introduce a joint resolution which, he said,
has the approval of the President. The reso-
lution was read.
It recites that well authenticated reports
specifically, brought to the capital by Bishop
Wilmer, of Louisiana, show that in certain
localities of the South the people are desti
tute and in a condition of starvation, owing
to the failure of crops, and it directs the Sec
retary of War to issue army rations in such
quantities as may be required to alleviate the
immediate sufferings ot the inhabitants of
those destitute communities.
Mr. Willan, of Vermont, moved its refer
ence to the Committee on Education and La
bor with leave to report at any time, and it
was so ordered.
The Civil Rights Bill was resumed. Several
absurd amendments were introduced. The

Fiohung Babd—Thb President Declines
to Withdraw His Name — Grant will
Veto the Civil Rights Bill.
Washington, D. C., Jan, 6, 1871.
Blonnt of Georgia, made an effectual
speech to-day against the Civil Bights Bill.
He argued that the Scpromo Conrt had deci
ded against its constitutionality in the
slaughter house case. He said there was
no necessity for its passage. Tho colored
race did not want it. The State of Georgia
had made ample provision for the enforce
ment of all rights to which the colored race
were en'itled. He prtdistaA- miachievoos re
sults to the colored people, and said the bill
would engender hostilities between the two
races and result in denying to the negro the
educational facilities now provided by law.
Ho appeals to the Republicans not to impose
this monstrous measure upon tha South.
This speech was manly and dignified, and
was highly complimented.
Whitely, Freeman and Farrow are here
fighting Bard strong. President Grant pos
itively declined to withdraw Bard’s name.
Tho chances for his confirmation are slightly
favorable to-night.
It is rumored that Grant will veto the Civil
Rightsbill, which causes a flutter in Repub
lican circles.
Auditor Smith, of Alabama, is here,
en route to Pbiladeldhia to raise money and
print new books. Specks.
mode of selecting the Chief Jastice is at least j openly declare themselves in favor of a new
worthy of attention. We are by no means
prepared to dispute its wisdom. The Conrt
itself is certainly more competent to decide
apon the qualifications of its presiding officer
than the President, and it is tonally clear
that it wonld be guided by those qualifica
tions in making its selection, rather than by
personal or partisan considerations. And
then, again, it wonld seem to belong
to the body as. a matter of right and true pol
icy. Trne, oar fathers held a different opin
ion, and the proposed change npsets the prac
tice of nearly a handled years ; but this con
sideration is not sufficient for its condemna
tion. Wo may not be by nature or education
wiser than the early patriots were in their day
and geneiation, bnt we have the advantage
of both their wisdom and the practical expe
rience of several generations. The change
would not detract from the dignity of the of-
floe, and we think it would work well in
practice. Upon the whole, we are inclined
to sustain it, as before stated, on the score of
election in Louisiana as the only solution of
the unfortunate situation of affairs in that
State. Among the moat outspoken in this di
rection are Carpenter, Edmunds, Ferry of
Connecticut, Sumner, Schurz and Senator
Carpenter.
The House resumed the consideration of
the Civil Rights bill. Elliott, of South Car

Washington, January G, 1874.
The status of the civil rights bill is this;
When Bntler reported It from the Judiciary
Committee, a fortnight ago, he entered a mo
tion to resommit—a very unusual motion—
which gives the member reporting a bill con
trol of it at every stage of the discussion.
That motion is still pending. When the do-
bate closed to-day, Bntler obtai.ed tbs floor.
He yielded for other business, and he may or
he may not call it up to-morrow. If he does
call it np tor action, and does net want it re
committed, he withdraws the motion to re
commit, and moves the previous question on
the passage of the bill.
RAILROAD CONVENTION.
Bethlehem, Pa., Jan. G, 1874.
The convention of general freight officers of
tbs principal railroads of Pennsylvania. Now
York and New Jersey, organized at noon to
day, Ellia Clark, of the Northern Pennsylva
nia, being chosen president, and J. Lowry
Bell, of the Philadelphia and Reading, secre
tary. The meeting was held with closed
doors.
But it is understood that the division of
freight rates and the classification of trade arc
to be finaly disposed of at this meeting.
Tho bearing of tho new Constitution npon
the railroad interests has been pretty gener
ally canvassed tbit morning, and the existing
opinion is, that it will not materially change
the existing system.
Si. Louis Globe.
A man living near Nashviile, Washington
connty, Illinois, has recently invented an ap
paratus to take tho place of whistles for
railroad signals, steamboats, fire alarms, fac
tory calls and the like. He calls it the “Xel-
ephon,” but the popnlar namo is the “Steam
Jackass." The inventor is a stock farmer,
and has bevoted much of his time to raising
mules, whoso habits and anatomy he ap
pears to have studied carefully. On
his farm thero was a mulo of more ti.au
ordinary vocal power, whoso voico
could be heard a distance of four miles in
every direction, when he once got warmed up
to his work. The owner computed that if he
could set in motion all the air in a circle of
eight miles in diameter, or twenty-five miles
in circumference, or an area of fifty square
miles, or thirty-two thousand acres, a hundred
horse power jackass couhl, all other things
being equal, rival any other noise yet discov
ered. Ho established the fact that tho power
of an ordinary ass is about one-twelfth of an
indicated steam power. A stead engine of
oe# thousand Ivarze power would therefore bo
equal to the power ot 12,000 assas. Wherefore,
if one ass can fill a circle eight miles in diam
eter, 12,000 jackasses or one 1,000 horso
power jackass would fill a circlo of 95,000
miles in diameter. The inventor thought all
this over carefully, arriving at the deduction
that if ho could take nature’s vocal apparatus
and apply it to a greater power, ho could pro
duce a larger and more satisfactory volume
of sound. Filled with this idea, he pat the
mule to death, and carefully severed his head
from the body. He then injected solutions of
chloride of zinc and arsenic in the veins and
arteries of the head and neck, to prevent decay
of the flesh. India rubber was dissolved in
sniphurio ether, and the solution forced
through the trachea or wind pipe, aDd
through the larynx or throat. Tho ether evap
orated, leaving a film of rubber on the mem
branes, and the injection and evaporation
were continued nntil tho rubber film was
tonnd of snfficient thickness. These organs
wero then subjected to a vapor of sulphur,
heated to three hundred degrees, by which
process the nbber was vulcanized, its elastic
ity increased, and the membranes rendered
impervious to steam. Tnese preparations "
completed, a short pieco of rubber hose was j
attached to the wind pipe and connected with
a steam boiler.
It was a moment of agony to tho inventor,
as he placed tho ass-head in tho hands of an
assistant and slowly pulled the valve open; a
moment of thrilling interest. As the steam
was turned on, it passed into tho wind pipe,
expelling tbe air and producing a sigb, fol
lowed by agroaD, a snort, a chuckle, then a
violent coughing and sueeziug. As a full
head of steam was turned ou, the most fear
ful noise, the most frightful guffaw, the
most vociferous bray that ever assailed
mortal ears were produced. The lips
contracted, disclosing a terrible array o! teeth;
! tho featnres developed a satanic grin; the jaws
I raised and fell as tho steam crowded the pass
ages, and the ears participated iu the general
movement, giving to tho head of the nss an
animated and exciled appearan 0 The man
who was holding the head gazed upon it a
moment with dilated eyes, colorless cheeks,
knocking knees, nod protruding tongue; then
suddenly losing all interest in tho perform
ance, he emigrated. As for the inventor, his
success succeeded his most sanguine
anticipations. For nn ins’ant ho enntem
plated tho head, his countenance working
with every manifestatiou ol intense delight;
then he too started, probably to learn tho
greatest distance to which that point would
penetrato, leaving it stilt in operation, with
all steam on. The he id now got fully up to
its work, and that bray went hurtling through
tho universe. It was an acoustic earthquake;
it was a storm, a hurricane of s mud, a tor-
Century Whisky!
THE CENTURY WHISKIES ARE PURE l
T hey are differently prepared from
any Whisky in the market, and are driving many
old, and until now favorite brand-, out of the market,
because the principle upon which they are made la
•uperior. They are first carefully distilled from se
lected stock and stored away until they have attained
a certain age, when they are
Re-Dlstillcd by a Peculiar Process,
which extracts the fusel oil, but retains the essential
oils of tho grain. It is the fusel oil which possesses
the poisonous properties, and imparts tho rtiarp, acrid
flavor noticeablo in many brands of whisky; it is the
ferment and essential oils which impart the rich, oily
mellow flavor, and it is principally in
EXTRACTING THE FUSEL OIL,
and retaining tho essential oils, which constitutes tho
superiority and peculiarity of this process.
At tho time of re-distillation, the packages are
thoroughly cleansed and steamed out, reflllod with the
perfected product, and again stored away to ripen aDd
mellow with a^e, which it docs in a much greater de
gree than is possible without sneb treatment. We di
vide It into diflerent grades, according to age, desig
nated as X, XX. XXX and XXXX, and the latter chal

Tho almost universal testimony of those who have

the sengoefc The old theory thit the oceanic
cycicnes aro circular has prevailed in nauti
cal minds for many years, despite many dis
astrous results arising from following it out.
If theso terriblo storms aro of a circular form
it is very easy to determine the storm vortex,
and the ordinary rules laid down for its
avoidance are extremely simple. But if they
aro not circular tho present rule is not appli
cable, but when most carefully applied will
oft*n plunge tho mariner into the worst ol
tbe tempest.
Tho discovery which Mr. Meldrum now
establishes is that cyclones have a helical or
elliptiottl shape, formed between two oppos
ing streams of air. He coca back to tbe
storm registers of early date to make good
this vi«w, and unquestionably sustain his
conclusion from the East India data. On the
morning of the 25th of February, 1800, forty-
one vessels left the roadstead of Reunion with
a southeasterly wind, which, aocordiug to tho
old “law of storms,” placed tbe vortex to the
northeast, and these vessels ran to tho north
west to avoid it. The result demonstrated
that the central vortex was really north-north
west, so that they ran directly in its firry
front, and only four of them—onoa steamer—
succeeded in cros-ing the storm path. As
for tho remaining thirty-seven, only seven j
escaped total loss or very great injury, the j
latter costing tho insurers over hall a million
dollars.
Mr. Meldrum conclusively shows, from tho
largest mass of cyclonological dates ever col
lected, that the rotary gales of tho South Io-
dUn ocean aro of an elliptical form; that they
are generated between an easterly aud west
erly air current, and cease between a norther
ly and southerly current, “so that they are
flattened ou their northern and southern sides
at their commencement, and on their west
ern and eastern sides at their close.” He also
concludes that tbe progress of investigation
proves that the truth of nature lies in this
matter in a compromise between tho Espy
and It afield ,theories, which have been so
long discussed bv scientists.
This investigation, so deeply practical,
might be, and ought to be, pushed in our own
seas, where, no doubt, as in tho Southern
ocean, the discovery of Mr. Mrldrum will l c
verified. Tho correct prediction of storms ou
land has advanced so rapidly within u few
years that, with sufiicient research, there is
little doubt tbo “Uw of storms'' might bo
greatly perfected, and the navigator bo ena
bled tfJ make sure calculations for their avoid-
gocs into thu Lands of all fanners and Luaincaa
