A oano of Vicksburg negroes recently exhumed bodies from the Jewish grave yard, at that place, and cut off the fingers of the corpses for the sake of the rings they wore. ' One thousand dollars per minute is about the amount of taxation which the people of this country are paying to sup port the ruinous policy of the Rump Congress, It may not be generally known that the Grand Republican Executive Com mittee of Washington, has forwarded to the Republican party of Florida the snug little sum of $100,000 for election eering purposes. The Democrats have organized a Con gressional Campaign Committee. It consists of Senators Doolittle and Buck alew, and Representatives Randall, Hum phrey, Robs, Barnum and Trimble. Mr. Doolittle is chairman. A younq man once told Dr. Bethune that he had enlisted in the army of Zioo. "In which church ?" asked tha Doctor. "In the Baptist," was the reply. "I should call that joining the navy," was the Doctor's response. East Tennessee talks of raising an army to put down the Euklux, and, it is said, will give 50,000 men for this pur pose. Surely "the bloody hour p proaches, and the time for the Great Grand Cyclops to be marshaling his phantom legions draws nigh.

D 'h hb Jl MEMPHIS. TENNESSEE. FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH ?7. 1868. Tranamlsiloa of Motive PdCer. An improvement is aow planned in the city of Paris which will bejntroduced rapidly in all the great cities of the world, if it proves to be in practice what science aod theory predicate it to be. A company of cenitalists and industrial men was chartered in France fur the purpose of selling motive power transmitted by com pressed air in iron tubes from a central focus to any machine shop or manufac turing establishment of the capital. Ratea will be fixed on the basis of lh amount of power used per hour, and will vary ao cording to the distance between the place where it is created and where it will be employed. The constant increase in the price of fuel and labor, and the great necessity lor the economy in general, must recommend the plan to all who reflect upon the matter. Imagine that by opening a faucet ot tube filled with compressed air, or water, to which the power is comrau' nicated br the central generator, an en gine can be set in motion, and that the amount of labor done, and to be paid for, can be correctly indicated by an mstru mcnt comparable to the ordinary casonv eter, and we at once see the incalculable advantagesof thescheme. An immense deal of power, time, fuel and of appa ratus is wasted every day, especially in small establishments. If only the time and fuel can be saved, which are wasted every morning to raise steam before it is used, and every evening after the close of the day's work; the steam which is uselessly consumed during the many stoppages of all the engines in a manu facturins citv: the time required for re pairs and the cleaning of the boilers ; and the pay of the bands during all tbese in teractions, the economy of an arrange' ment by which so much power only is to be paid for as will have been virtually employed must become evident to every body. In many extensive machine shops and manufactories, the power created by large central machines is transmitted by shafts and belts to all points where it is needed. They have very large tenement houses in New York, in-Berlin, and in some cities of England, where the power of a single machine is transmitted by. these means to a Hundred separate rooms, wherein small amounts of power are used for turning, smoothing, boring, and a ereat variety of other employ ments. For greater distances this method is impracticable, and, in spite of the great difficulty in making the pipes air tight to prevent leakage, it is neverthe less universally admitted that a system of tnbes failed with compressed air or water by which the central1 generator connects with all the points where power is required, is the cheapest and most com modioua way of transmitting power to great distances. In scientifically worked mines in Germany and England water is often used for the transmission of power to points distant two or three miles, ana here in St Lonis we have a hydraulic elevator in perfect operation where the moving power is transmitted from a point about two miles distant. Though the application of the last method always depends on the localities and the work which may be required, it seems that compressed air in almost all cases is preferable to any other vehicle of trans mission. The tunneling of Mount Cenis is done in that way. At the entrance of the tunnel air is compressed by powerful fixed steam engines, and carried through tubps in the interior of the excavation, where movable boring machines receive the necessary power to bore the auger holes needed to explode the rock by pow der. Air is absolutely cheap and ready for employment. Wherever a certain labor is to be done, or where the original motive power is to com municate a part of it for trans mission, air is always on hand in any imaginable quantity. The point, there fore, can be fixed as favorably as possible, without any regard to the transmitting medium. If water is employed, it may be wanting in the hot season from evap oration, and in winter by freezing. Water may require canals, costly embankments, nnnda or basins, and the tubes are ex posed to many more chances of damage if they carry water than air. When the air has done its work at the point nthere it was reauired, it escapes into the atmos- phore, or may even be used for ventila-l point where the transmitted power is to bo used may be situated much higher than the point where the power is origi nated, for the raising of the air to that point requires but very little force. What tne result oi me application ui this new method would be in a demo cratic country,where every new invention is at once popularized and adapted to the nse of the many, is not difficult to foresee. If motive power can be trans mitted like gas and water to any de sired point, an immense amouut of ork done at present by hand will then be done by machinery. In the course of time, even in the greatest manu facturing places, the chimneys and steam engines would disappear, aud the dangerof explosion be reduced nearly to nunuht: and we can see no reason why this method may not be adopted here better than elsewhere. Uur cities are more regularly built, and better adapted for the. lavineof the necessary tube. than the crooked streets of the old continental cities, and labor is still so dear in this country, and economy, particularly in regard to fuel, is so desirable, that, if there are not very great and unexpected difficulties to overcome, we will soon tee companies, similar totnatoi rans, or ganized in many cities ot tne unuea States. St Louit Republican. England Yields. In the House of Commons, on Friday, Mr. Forster urged Great Britain to aban don ber claim of life allegiance in case of emigrants to foreign countries, and advised the appointment of a mixed com mission to settle the question forever. Sir Robert Collier supported the views of Mr. Forster. - Lord Stanley admitted that tne dogma of natural alleeiance was now obsolete. Her Majesty's Government had already mad advances for the settlement of the questioa at issue, and he declared that they were ready lO meei me vrovernmeu of the United States half way. There were many difficulties in the way of an adjustment, but they were not regarded as insuperable. He stated the Foreign Office) was now in communication with Mr. Seward oo the sobject, and concluded by expressing his approval of the prop osition for a mixed commission. Sir Roucdell Palmer hoped the expa triated sufjecls of Great Ufiiain would not be suffered to make war on the pa rent country. Sir Kcundell is evidently an ou logy.j ACMI BARUOiT CITY CIlZCFtATION. Interesting Eplsod. la ths luprems Court A Washington dispatch of the 20th instant to the Cincinnati Commercial says the following qnrt and interesting proceedings look place in thn Supreme Court that day regarding the Ueorgia in tunction case : The Supreme Court, on Friday lust, save leave to Judge Black- and others. counsel for Governor Jenkins, U file a bill in chancory in the name of the State of Georgia, for an injunction against General Meade, General Grant and others. The following interesting and curt proceedings took place in the Court to-day, regarding this bill : Mr. Black said : " If the Court please in the case of Georgia vs. General Grant and others, the bill having been filed for injuction, according to the prayer of the bill. I ask that it now be heard by the Court" The Chief Justice" Mr. Black, your firat motion to mak is for process. Mr. Black "Leave has been granted bv the Court to file the bill, and I sup posed process would issue as a matter of course. 'he Chief Justice "The practice is for application to be made to the Court to order process to issue." Justice Nelson" Mr. Black, there are no rules regulating the original juris' diction of this Court, and the practice has been to apply to the Court at every sten of the proceedings. Mr. Black" Very well, thea. I move for nrocess." The Chief Justice, after consultation with the Justice, said : "We will order process to be issued, returnable the first day of the December term. Mr. Black" Now. if the Court please, we move a hearing of our application for an lntunotion. The Chief Justice" Has notice been given to the defendant r Mr. Black "Yes. sir; so I under stand." But after consulting with Governor Jenkins, he said: " If the Court please. I am not certain that proper notice has been given. The Chief Justice "You must apply to the Court for an order for notice to the othej side of the time when the applica tion for injunction will be heard." Mr. Black "We ask for an order fixing the time for this hearing, and we suppose that, at the utmost, not more than one week will be eonsidered neces sary." The Chief Justice "The Court will take the matter into consideration." Mr. Black "Vhen may we expect an answer T" The Chief Justice (sharply) " When the Court announces it." Mr.Black (patronizingly) "TheCourt .l :. v uicnua nucu 'i, Kv DBU,' 1 The Chief Justice" Yes. sir." The result of this unexpected bitch in 'the proceedings will be, it is believed to delay the entire case to the December term of the Court, while it is extremely doubtful if even a hearing is granted at this term Perjury. E, A. Peyton (Renegade), who occu pies a seat in the so-called Convention, as delegate from Hinds county, and who like all other miserable apostates, out Herods Herod, in his enmity to his ancient friends, was arrested in Jackson last week for perjury; it having been proven before the United States Grand Jury, that notwithstanding he was an office holder before the war, and a Con federate officer during it, he took the registration oath, fli order to get into the Convention. He was admitted to bail in the sum of 12000. The Radical organ at the capital is very much disgusted with what it is pleased to consider "rebel jubilation" over this indictment, and tains as loi lows: ' ' " But now, since bringing the perjured men to justice has been commenced, we want to see no stopping till the last one of them is brought before the proper tri bunal to answer for their violation of a sacred law. We would suggest to the grand jury the propriety of examining ' ironclad oaths, taken by certain post' masters, marshals, assessors, collectors, and other governmont officials in this State, and possibly they mny learn that others besides the ' Kadical delegate trom Hinds, who held office before the war, and participated iu ths rebellion, and afterwards took a solemn oath that they never did anything of the kind, lheee are facts, gentlemen of the grand jury, and if you do not want honest people to believe that in indicting UoL reyton you were actuated by partisan motives, you had beljpr indite a few more for the same uutrnau. We have no objection to this, at all. If there are any office-holders in the State who have sold their integrity tor a mess of nottase. we are as anxious as the ed iter of the Journal can be that they should be brought to justice ; and we do not believe that it can be established that a single man in the commonwealth, now . . rr- t . r 1 I M( nolding omce Dy virtue oi navmg ille gally subscribed to the " iron-clad oath," is now acting or in sympathy with the Democratic party. Avrovoi to this, we proclaim unnesi- tatioelv that the man who took the oath of registration, which pledged bim before God lo uohdld the Constitution of the United States, and who now advocates or indorses the so-called " Constitntion of Mississippi," soon to be submitted for ratification to the people of the State, is neriured before man and his Maker, from the crown of his bead to thn soles of his feet. Aberdeen (Mitt.) Examiner. What Greeley Is Doing ia Washington. The sadden appearance upon the political boards here of the Hon. Horace Greeley has given rise to much specula tion as to what is in the wind, it is strongly hinted that his attentions to Chief Justice Chase are necessary, and this evening be dines with him at his fine residence oo E street It is understood that Mr. Greeley has determined to have the Chief Justice commit himself to the Dolitical fortunes of General Grant, if such a thing be possible, ana tnereoy ntp in the bud the proposition to make Mr. Chase the candidate of the Democratic party. Mr. Greeley do-s not profess to be particularly alarmed at the proposi tion, but the rumor is he would prefer not allowing the Democracy thus to be subjected to temptation, and h desires Mr. Chaie to make an open profession of allegiance to General Grant The Chief Justice ia tha meantime is being bitterly denounced by Radical Congressmen for his seeming fairness to President John son in the matter rf h trial, an 4 the iuiprceeioa is that Mr. Greeley will fall ia his mieaion to the capital Wa$kinr (oat Cvrrttpondtnot Baltimart Qateltc jlj jlu u . - English Llbsrals on American Radicalism, Some of thn most conspicuous of those English Radicals to whom the nltraisls in this country have generally looked fur aid and comfort seem to be becoming apprehensive of the results of the ex Iravugances of their political allies in the United Stales upon the progress of ths liberal party io England. The protest of Bright against the impeachment of the President, the warning voice of Mill, and last, and most significant of sail, the late fultninntion ofthe literary Jupiter of English Radicalism, Goldwia Smith, has fallen like bombshells in the Radi cal camp in this country. Goldwin Smith, one of the most distinguished of Jie professors of Oxford University, and an intense sympathizer with American Radicalism an object of well-nigh idol atrous admiration to the most cultivated ofthe Radical leaders of this country, as well as to the rank and file of the Loyal LoAgticrs has written a letter to the Loo don Timet, in which he speaks of those who are hard at work impeaching the President "for differing with tbetn in opinion " as seeking "by inflammatory spescbes and measures of violence to spur euthuiiiasm again to the revolution ary pitch, and by so doing they increase and precipitate reaction." The learned professor proceeds to say "that at present the Anglo-Saxon and the negro aro separated from each other by almost the whole diapason of humanity; that social fusion is impossible, and that without social fusion political fusion is very diffi cult?" He speaks of impeachment as tending only to put the feelings of the mass of this poople, weary of extreme measures and alarmed for the Constitution, on the President's side." He pronounces the whole Radical scheme of reconstruction "irrational," and, "most unkindest cut of all," de clares that "the doctrine of Stat rights itself has always seemed to him sound," and that he, the great philosopher and idol of American Radicalism, had always " hold that federation, not centralized nationality, was the destined system of the new world the only system by which the blessings of union could be extended to the communities of a whole continent, and reconciled with liberty, self-government, and independence of mind." What a judgment that is to come from the very summit of the Radical Olympus One might imagine it was an extract from the forthcoming work of A- H. Stephens, instead ofthe renowned Radi cal of England, Goldwin Smith. Balti more Sun. Hf The Foreigner and the Negro. Tim scallawags of Radicalism are en deavoring to deprive the foreigner of his just rights. Every obstacle is thrown in the way of his exercising his right to vote. Some ofthe scallawags have gone on an expedition to Washington the fountain of evil and wrong to concoct some mea sure by which many of the German and Irish naturalized citizens of this city may bet deprived of their right to vote. If any one had prophesied a few years since that any white man could be fouad in the South who would be so base as to un dertake the labor of expanding the privi leges of Macks and cutting down and de stroying those of the whites, he would have been deemed crazy. The supposi tion thnt such a monBter could have been found in any of the ten States could only have been considered itself monstrous. But we have lived to see several of such monsters. They are now endeavoring by every art and device which base na tures and a cunning whetted by greed for office can suggest, to place the worthy, industrious, orderly, and useful natural ized citizen below the negro in social consideration and political rights. It is impossible, that such baseness and'porfi dy shall not meet with its reward its re- ( tributive punishment Richmond Bit- patch. i 0 Ths True Issne. The Anti-Slavery Standard squarely lays down the Radical position as fol lows : Impeachment is an incident of the passion hour a very important one, which we hope will be speedily disposed of by Johnson's removal. It will have removed an obstacle. I he main issue, still in controversy, is the status of the negro. Abolitionists aod earnest Radi cals must take nothing on trust, leave nothing to a future contingency, as our Ibrefatbers did with slavery in their time, but demand an irreversible guarantee in the national bond, of the negro's free dom and political equality.
