New Device.
The Messrs. 0. 1-. at J S. Jones, of Westport, have left
with us for trial, a new and original device for making
good tea and coffee. It effects all the results sought
to be obtained by the “ old Dominion Coffee Pot,’ ’ at
half the cost, and half the fuss and trouble of that in.
vention. Its cost cannot be but a trifle above the ordi-
nary utensil for making tea or coffee in, and yet from its
principle of disflllatiim, it retains the full strength and
to a remarkable degree the aroma of the tea or of the
codes. We have tested ours thoroughly and believe
our enterprising friends in Westport have invented a
good thing.

bono tide gotten up on a fair and honest basis and the
amount of casli capital required by law was actually
paid in and that its business was to be conducted in
the most upright and honorable nizinner. Le this
as it may-—the Company failed to comply with the first
provl ion of the net of incorporation which requires
that “certain gentlemen named therein, shall meet and
apportion said Stock"-—wliich action was never had,
and which of course, hft the Corporation ‘without any
legal existence. It is unnecessary "for us to add our se-
vere regrets -that so great an error should have occur-
red, if-it was such, as probably no more favorably loca-

there is an abundance of means here to cover its Stock

Minor is in the field with sleeves rolled pp, and Will

the returns come up from Stamford. As for Mr Curtis,
he is not one of that class who rear, and tear, and
break things, because of not getting it third noniiua-

tion long and ably, but yielded to the action of the ma.-

fl3*We are glad to correct any urror in-
to which may inadvertently have fallen.
The Post lllce Bill, which went from the
Senate to the House, raised th_e rates of pos-
tage and abolished the friinking privilcge.—-
Whcn Mr. Bishop stated that he voted on
the latter, we_ naturally supposed that it was
upon this Bill. It appears, however, that he
voted against this whole bill, and af-
terwards voted to amend the civil and miscel-
laneous appropriation bill by inserting the
abolition of the franking privilege. This ac-
counts for the Republican vote on the sub-
ject. The Republicans were unwilling to
lumber up the appropriation bill with amend-
mcntsin addition to tliefnrly amendments
already put on ‘by the Senate, which would
endanger the whole appropriation, and tend
to stop the wheels of government. But while
Mr. Bishop voted, as now appears, for tls
amendment, he was, and for some months had
been, abusing the franking privilege worse
than any Connecticut man ever did, and
merely for glectioneering purposes. The
car loads of partisun_speeclies,_musty books
and stale garden seeds franked by him, have
cost the government more money than all
the documents franked to Connecticut by all‘
her representative together for the last ten
years. As we have already said. we would

Heaven knows he has political sins ‘enough to

DECREASE or IVATER ON THE GLoV13i-:.—_—
At ii late meeliiig of the British Associ-
lltI0ll, Mr. Gallon read» a paper by Mr.
J. Spotswood Wilson, “ On the General
and Gradual Desiccaiicn oi’ the Earth
and Atmosphere.” The writer drew at-
tention to the fact that those who had
ti'avelled in continental lands, especially
in or near the Tropics, had been foiwted to
reflect on the cliunges of climate that ap-
peared to have occurred. There were
parched and barren l.'_inds, dry river chan-
nels, and waterless lakes, and not ui1l'i'e-
queiitly traces of ancient human habita-
tions. where large populations. had "been
supported, but where all was now deso-
late, dry and barren.
After qimling largely from the works
of viiriousuavellers and writers, (among
the latest of whom was Dr. Llviiigston,)-
and giving intci'esting~ descriptions of
dried up rivers and desolate tracts of
country in Australia, Africa, Mexico
and Porn, which had formerly been inhab-
ited by man, Ml’. Wilson concluded that
there was it g‘l'tltIl|lPl solidifying of the
aqueous vapors, and coiiseqiieiitiy of wa-
ter, on the face of tliis-‘fer:-esti'inl' world,
‘ ,-yvhicli lie lnfered was uppimicliing‘ fl state
in which it'will be impossible for man to-
bc an inhabitant. Yet, he added, we
‘ Shollld feel satisfied am with the pros-
it lliiit the ieim of cur occupation
is not yet half expired. Races proceeded
us‘ in the chain of existence, and there
was no reason to siipposc that others
would not follow." Iiideetl, some of these
that nrc destined to succeed seem to be
iil.i'e:.dy in exist-nce and have their home
in-the icy sea, where they enjoy a climate
that exceeds man's L‘flfllllffll|C8- Various
considerations lead to the coizalnsion that
the fitness of the earth for man may ex-
tend to 51 period mucli longer than that
in which it has been occupied* by liimf
nor will that term end till after the Po-
lar bear, the walrus nndtlic nnrwal have
become inhabitants of the tropics. ' V

For a reason that we have, we take some
interest in the doings of this pair of worlhi-.-.s,
and take occasiogto commend them to the
attention of the public. THEY ARE C0ltRl-ZS-
PONVDI-ZNTS or ouas. Fact !
' About a year since, viz: March 20, 1858,
we published an article of 4 or 5 columns in
length and having the signature “ J.” This
communication in reference to Kansas and the
matter of Popular Sovereignty, iv-.~.s brought
to us by Mr. Judd who said thathe had been
—-he still called himself a Democrat. He
wished to answer some of the Farinoi-‘s false
iioods,and the reckless assertions made in a
letter from Mr. Secretary Toucey. He told
us that he had been in Karissa for in lime. 'l‘hc
article. however, had very little oi pi-rsonul
ob_servatiou—the facts stated being drawn
from ofllcial and otlierlsourcss. It commenced
by saying that although a Democrat, ho ‘Afr.
J.) was " opposed to voucixo the Lecomptou
Constitution upon aFree people”--the scheme
was fraudulent and in violation of every
principle of Democracy. There was a full
statement in reference to the i'r-.\uds—-ilie fact
that a large portion of the people could not
have voted for members of the Convention, ii
In answer to a denial of
fraud "‘ J.” said: '
“How is this? Can it be possible there ivns “ no
room for fraud” when we know there ivi.-re l‘;‘6(‘- voles
returned from the little precinct oluxfnrii. iili(-re there
“‘ are only six dwelling houses iinil no Hotel ‘I’’ i‘ No
room for fraud,” when Shawnee Preciiict returns 729
votes for Constitution with slavery !”—-a pl:icc in the
Indian Reserve and not yet open to legnlsetil.-nient by
white people ? “ No room for fijuud” when these two
insignificant towns return nearly as many votes as
Lcavenwnrtli Coiinty—-the largest county in the Terri-
tory I “ No room for frziud” in this result, when we
have the sworn statement of men legally appointed to
take the census of these places since that vote. that
there “were only 42 white male inliubiliiiits nnnl 5 In-
dians” at the latter place entitled to votel “No room
for fraud,” when Ii'ickapoo,n |JltlcL' of some 500 inhabit-
ants, returns’l,019 votes as polled at that precinct !
It wascharged (and proved, also) that the
Administration had tlbuiitlofled the principles
avowed in the Presi(lent's Inangurnl—ihe
pledges made to Gov. Walker. Speaking of
the policy, finally adopted ,J. exclaimed :
“Is this Democracy 5’ Is this freedom of the elective
franclii.-‘e ever advocated by the Deinocrnlic party ? If
so, I have studied its history and learned its precepts
in vain.” ,
The article further spoke of chameleon po-
lilicians” who were the “ elinmpioiisof Le-
compton,” the corruption influences brought
to bear, Jcc. I wound up-this way :
“Let no Representatives, of the Deiiioc-i‘ac_\-, placed
as a sentinel on the outer walls to guard the citud-l
in this time ofdzingi-i', be driven from the true position
by ihrcuts ofe.\coiiiii‘iiiiiic:ilion, the influence of l-'edci--

Mr.A. B. Judd,will you allow us to en-
quire as to the state of vooa knees about this
time? A year ago this montb_.you were con-
demning the Administration as lalse to Demo-
cratic principles. Have‘ those principles
changed, or has the Aclniinislratioii chang-
ed, its policy since that time? Wno ms

in favor of POPULAR Sovi-:iii:Io.\'1'Y as a twelve

We have something also to say to the young-

Do you remember Sir. it cominunicalion pub-
lishcd in this paper, about tlicliine Mr;Judd’s
article appeared . It was signed “ Anti _Le-

SHOCKING DEATH.-—-.A WOIlA\' onowxsn
IN A cis'rEx.\*.—-—IVc learn by Mr. Carron
that Mrs. Joseph Boyd of IVarrensville,
was drowned yesterday in a cistern, un-
der the most heai't-i'ending cireuinsian-
ces :
The cistern was under the kitchen, and
access was had to it through a trap-door,
and the bottom of the cistern being six
feet from the floor, and only foul‘ feet of
water in it. Nobody was in the house
but Mrs. Boyd and -her little child of
three and a half years, who, of course,
cniipot explain the particulars ofher
motliei"s death. Mr. Boyd was at work
on his farm, and saw his wife out of doors
at about 2 P. M. When the two other
eliildren returned from school and found
their mother missing, they; asked ‘their
little sister where she -was, who tolil them
“she was iii the cistern,” that her moth-
or told her to bring her :1_(-hair, and she
did so, but that her mother wanted her
to give her another chair, which she dill ;
that her iiiotlier then wanted her to kiss
her.
, The little girl ran around _ the liousc,
fuilier, who came, and found the body of
the wife and mother at the bottom of
-the cistern, from which it is inferred that
she slipped in, but did not at first drown,
and calling upon her little child for n cliair
tried to get out but could not, and called
for another with no better result, Vimtil be-
coming so chilled with the cold waiter,
and fully uppreliensivc that she could not
survive, caller] her child to her to impart
a final kiss, and the chill of death up-
proachiiig her Vitals, slie sank from the
chair into the water and died.

- Bucliaiianfs Veto.
A moiig the acts of the present admin-
i:~'l.l'illlOll (_'.OIlllCt:l_Utl with the late SCSSIOII
of (}oiigi'c.ss', few are more ileserving of
noiicc than the veto of the .r'\,‘_.',‘l'I(2lill.lll'l|l
College bill. "l‘liongli this measure was
not one that had zitlmcled -2). large slinrc
of lllllilllf iitteiiiioii, it. was cerlziinly one
of the iuost; s:ig:icio:is iillil lieiicliuient
lll(::lSlll'CS that Mr. Buclizinzui lms ever
had on oppominily of ilppl'0VIll,i.',‘. It
ivns ilcsigiicil to l)CIl(2Ill-, pi'c-cuiiiiciitly,
the laboring class, liecaiisc it proposed to
plaice \\'llllfl their reach advantages and
kiiowledge that are now coininanded
only by it few in every State. Its aim
was to elevate the larnier-—to give him
wider information, and means of a more
scientific culture. It would have done
more for the furiner them all the Agricul-
tural Societies in the land. And, as all
other classes in society depend upon the
agricultural interests, and their prosperi-
iy is ever proportioned in any State to
the skill and enterprise of the farmer, its
beiiiiieieirt results would have been con-
fined to no one class or occupation ; it
would have been a public and :1 national
lieuefil: so long as our Republic shall en-
(lure.
Wlfo couhl reasonably oppose such a
measure as this? It would not have to-
ken n single dollar from the l'.l'0ilSlll'y.--
The only nid to be rendered by Govern-
ment was by grants of land in each
State, and all the land thus granted would
not have ‘amoiiiited to one sixth the (liltin-
tity which lins been given during ten years
past, in aid of Ilaili'o.ids or in-bounties for
military service. Lands for which set-
tlers cannot ll0W be found, and which
are on the hands of Goveriiniciit ; lands
which it would gladly dipose of today at
ten sliilliiigs an acre ; lands whose entire
value if they could be sold, would not
equal one-tliircl the sum which Mr. Bu-
chanan lias expended in the needless and
bungling I’nraguuy ‘expedition ; this was
all that the Gove1'ninent_ was asked to
give to inaugurate and sustain so benefi-
cient a system as that contemplated in
this bill. Most surely the luboriiig clas-
ses of the free States could be infected
uiifuvorably by its operation.
Neither could the slave States reason-
ably find any fault with the measure, for
it gave to them shares equal to those of
other states and for the same purpose.--
Il labor is indeed the foundation of na-
tional prosperity, and if educated labor
is infinitely preferable to blind brutal
drudgery, then this mezisore was preem-
inently wise and desirable.
But the slave States do not believe in
educated laboi'——they hate it——they fem-
it. Mi‘. Bncli:in:in is simply the servilc
tool of the slave interest. Tlie1'efoi'e the
bill was vetoed.
That this is the true explanation of re-
sults that would otherwise seem someiv-hat
uinrvellous, may readily be seen by obser-
viiig the vote in Congress on the passage
of this bill. The House passed it on the-
22nd of April, 1858, by 104 yeas to 100
nays as follows :— 1
Free Stntes——Yeas 9]., nays 37.
Slave Stntes—Ycas 13. iiuys 63.
And it passed the Senate Feb. 8,1859
by 25 yeas to 22 nays, as follows :—
‘ Yeas. Jvays,
Free States . . . . ..‘.21 4
Slave States . . . . . . 4 18
The Reprcsentavcs of the free States
in Congress voted for it 112 to 41, or
nearly three to one. The Representa-
tives of the slave States voted against it
81 to 17—more than four to one; and
Buelianan, the tool of those Southern
Iicpreseniatives, vetoed the bill. Slidell,
the notorious leader of the pi'o-slavery
schemes for stealing Izlllll to extend and
perpetuate slave labor, declared a year
ago if the bill pas-ted both houses it should
be vetoed, and his man, Biiclinnan, obey-
ed his 0l‘tl0.'S. “ The ox knowctli his
owner.”
Contrast this measure with the past
schemes of this Administration, so differ-
ent in purpose and in kind; contrast it
with the bill to borrow thirty millions
to enable the President to steal Cuba;
with the Lecompton bill; with the bill to
confer the war making power on the Pros-
ident. in order to fncilinte the acquisition
of Nicnraiiguo, Mexico, and such other
comitries as we may covet ; with thD

UP THE RIVI-2R.—.A good story is told
in the Hampshire, Mass, Gazette of Rev.
Ebenezer Jennings, of Dalton. One of
his Democratic parishioners came to him
one day, rather excited, and said, “ MI‘.
Jeiiiiisgs, I have been told that you said
yesterday in the pulpit, that every Demo-
crat was a horse ih‘ef,” Mr. Jennings re-
plied, “ you have been misinformed, I did
not say so, I said that every horse thief
was a democrat.” The man was non-
plussed.

®“*'l‘he overland mail to California
costs $600,000 a. year, ivitliont it particle
of benefit to the public. It is the anoin-
nly ofa mail which carries no letters-—
When this scheme was -drummed through
Congress by the postniastcr-general and
his iiisti'nmeiits,' the bill gave him three
alternatives, :1 monthly connection at
$300,000 per nnnum, a semi-monthly at
$450,000, and a weekly at $600,000-—

experiment ofa weekly trip without re-

gf lb": country, paying this enormous sum
me-iely to prove that ii coach may run
across a desert, and a few passengers
may perform the feat of travelling in it
for twenty three or four days. The con-
traet is for six years, and involves a dead
loss of about four millions in round num-
bcrs. A contract for the identical ser-
vice can now be made for a third of the

If the above is substantially correct,
(Vas we believe it is,) it is not diflicult to
see how the Post Oliice Department has

lsE;)“'T\vo years ago, two splendid lo-
coniotives called the CAIRO and SUEZ
were manufactured at the works of
Messrs. William Mason & Co., in this
town, for the Alexander and Suez Rail-
road in Egypt. The‘ Pnc-ha, who is pres-
ident-, director, ‘stockholder and some-
thing else of his own road, also ordered
two engines of Englisli construction, and
Yankee and English Engineers went out
to run their respective machines. The
rivalry has not been trifling, but the re-
sultls another triumph for Jonathan-—
The English engineers, t'ii‘oiig:li their con-
siil, undertook to flutter their patrons,‘
mid to disparage Yankee workmanship,
and tried every method to get rid of tlieir
competitors At first they were success-
ful.
The Americans were told by the rail-
road company that their engiiies were
not going to be used, and that their ser-
vices would mt be needed. The excuse
for hziiiling them up was that they were
not strong enough to haul the heavy
trains. One of the American engineers
getting an opportunity to speak with the
Pnsrhzi, told him he could haul as many
loaded ears as would reach from one end
of the road to the other. Accordingly
sevciity-five licuvily loaded czir_s, which
was all they could muster ; were put in
a train, the l’aslm’s own cal‘ attached,
and the whole, train token througli to
Suez, a distance of200 miles, in twelve
lioiirs, making stoppages for fuel and wa-
ter. The Paislizi exclniiiied in Egyptian,
