A Nbw Industrial Journal. The Technologist is the title of a new Industrial Journal, devoted to Engineering, Manufacturing, and Building, that comes to us a u ttoguishing feature of thu Journal is tbe ? , Tact that all the Articles and Illustrations ...... ,. freighted with valuable articles. The dis are original no clippings or old engra vings being used. The Publishers further pledge themselves that no advertisiug arti cles (that is, no descriptive puffs of worthless inventions) shall be inserted in its columns under any circumstances whatever; and, if they fulfill this pledge, they will certainly do a grand thing for the industrial journalism of tho country, for every intelligent mechanic knows that indiscriminate puffing is the bane of our mecbanical and so-called scientific periodicals. The number bef ore us censists of fortyfour large pages, and it is printed on very superior paper, and in the best style of the typographic art. Altogether, it is the fiuest-lookixg jjurnal of practical science now before the public. The articles, ; too, are or unusual excellence, and contain matter calculated to iustruet and iuterest all classes. Tho titles of a few of the subjects discussed are, Technological Education, Tempering Steel, Trial of Steam Engines, Improvement in Distillation, Sunless and Airless Dwellings, the Measurement of Electrical Resistance, Vision and the Stereoscope, the Walks of New York Central T.rk, East River Bridge Caissons, the Microscope, Lessons on Drawing, Relation of Technology to Insurance, etc., etc. The yearly subscription is Two Dollars and the price of single number Twenty Cents, a sum that seems ridiculously small when compared with the site and character of the Journal. It must require an enormous circulation to make the enterprise pay at these figures, and it is pleasant to see that the Publishers have sufficient faith in our American workingmen to lead them to undertake it. The Technologist is issued by the Industtinl Publication Company, whose office is at 170 Broadway, New York. Every mechanic ought to send fr at least one number of this Journal.

Letter from Washington City. Correspondence of tha Indiana American. Tlkv Cry of h Buncombe' Disregarded A Healthy Indication Reduction of Orfain Salaries May be Accomp:ishtd-mJ he Franking Privilege to be Modified 'Postal Telegraph. ' Washington, D. C, March 4, 1S70. On Monday of this week a resolution was Introduced in Congress in favor of a modification of the tariff so as to impose the least burdens upon the people, and to best promote and encourage the great industrial interests of the country. Mr. ICelsey objected to the resolution "as mere buncombe, of which the House had had enough." The House, however, disregarded his objection, and by a vote of 107 for, to 48 against, adopted the resolution. This incident ta only referred to to show a very common fling at every attempt in the House to favor the interests of the industrial classes of the people. If a committe reports favorably on a retrenchment measure, and if some friend of retrenchment makes a speech in its support, there are Congressmen ready to answer . all arguments by sneeringly saying that the supportof such measures is for buncombe.1' Buncombe" is a word of contempt, and it is the short reply of many members to resolutions and speeches favoring retrenchment and Henlihy reforms. In the above case, the usual cry had no effect to frighten members, and in its face the teso'ation was adopted. Herein is a good indication. Congress has undertaken to legislate for tho interests of the people as well as the ofllcers of the nation, and are schooling themselves up to the courageous, point of independence. There has been some disposition to reduce their own salaries to where they were before the war. The prioes of agricultural and mechanical products are nearly or quite back to that point, and common sense and common patriotism point to all salaries that have heen raised, as elegant subjects for retrenchment. Their own salary was. raised by the sharp expedient of hitching the measure on to a bounty for soldiers that is, S2,00 per annum to each member and 5100 for the soldier. Very many members have long seen the propriety of returning at least part way to the original pay, and thus greatly relieve the demand on the treasury, but they have seemed to fear tho reproachful cry of ''buncombe." Now, however, the House, iu the case referred to, has risen above this fer, and something may bo expected, unless something else is in the way. Of course they want to retrench. That has been clearly expressed. It may be, however, that Congress is awaiting ectnc expression of the people on tbi3 question. It is yet the expectation that something important will be done on the postage question a question in which the people are greatly interested. It is probable that the franking privilege will bo modified but not abolished, and the pay rates of postage will be reduced. Free delivery of papers within the County where published, to actual subscriber, will b continued. All the abuses of the franking privilege will be remedied, if possible, if it should require the abolition of the entire system. There is strong opposition manifested to tbe establishment of a postal telegraph system, which during the early part of the session was in favor with a majority of Congress. A cheap telegraph communication with all parts of tho countrv is

greatly to bo desired, and would be of great benefit to the commercial and social world. Telegraph companies are bringing their influence to bear against the Government establishing such a system. Well they may, as they are now tyranising monopolies. This is especially true where there is no competition. For Instance: it costs SO cts. to send ten words from Washington to Cincinnati; but to send the same to Brookville it costs S210. The last 40 miles costing over once and a half as much as the first 0,500 miles. No competition on the last 40. A system under Government management as proposed would be a publio blessing and would be self sustaining. J. R. G. Written (or the American. Visit to tho Laurel Publio School. Laurel, Indiana, March 7, 1870. Mr. Editor, It is well known that Laurel claims to be, among the towns or Franklin County, second to Brookville in business and population, but it is not so well known that we claim to stand first in the list in regard to the efficiency of our ! public schools. The present Board of School Trustees of our town deserve much credit for the deep interest they have taken, during the time they have been in office, in Common School education. Our Pubiio School has 200 pupils enrolled, which are being taught by A. W. Beighle, Principal, assisted by T. W. Clendening, Vida Eldridge, Mary O'Byrne and Carobel Conner a force more competent, in our opinion, than any heretofore employed to take charge or the Publio School in our town. This week completes a term of five months. On Thursday jst we laid aside our private business far tho purnosa of visitinir the school. We called first on Misses! O'Byrne and Conner, who have charge orj the Primary Department. We found them diligently employed in teaching "the J young idea how to shoot." They gave u.s ! a polite reception, and proceeded to business. They have enrolled in their department 1U0 pupiis, all of whom are small. We I'ouud them attentive and orderly for small children, and many of them making fiue progress in learning to read and spell. We called next on Miss Vida Eldridae. She seemed to be perfectly at home, and i proud or her scholars. She handed us a! chair and a book, and went on with her school. She was examining a class in j Ueography. fche informed us that she had two classes in Geography a Primary and an Advanced Class. The class reciting was the Piimary. During our visit we were well entertained in seeing the bright eyes and cheerful faces of her pu pils, and hearing the most studious of the j class answer quickly and correctly a multitude of miscellaneous questions, taught only in our best systems of Modern Geography. We were pleased with the capacity evinced by the pupils for acquiring knowledge, aud the abilities of tbe teacher for imparting it, Our next visit was to the room occupied by Profs. A. W. Beighle and T. W. Clendening. We found here, comfortably seated behind a large table in a conspicuous part of the school-room, Wm. B. Maddock H-mj , our distinguished School Ex-

and to his left hand, on a front

a miner. sear, iwo or tne ocnool Trustees, and on bis right a small sprinkle of visitors, who, I learned,-bad been listening to the Fifth Render Class by Cleodeuing and the First Arithmetio Class by the same. There seemed to be a suspension of business at the time we entered the room, but we had to wait only a short time for Miss O'Byrne to come up with her Third Reader Class fiom the Primary Department. This class had made decided improvement In Reading and Spelling, since we visited the school about the middle of the term. Miss Eldridge came next with her Advanced Geography Class. Having beard her Pri mary Class do so exceedingly well, we exexpected more of this class than it performed, yet it displayed a better knowledge of the earth's surface than was taught in our common schools forty years ago. Tbe Principal adjourned school until 1 o'clock P. M. The time for taking up school came, and with it n respectable number of visitors, the School Examiner, and all the School Trustees. Mr. Clendening's advanced class in Geography was the first to recite. This class, as was expected, excelled the preceding one in (he same study. Miss Conner came next with a number of bright little girls anil boys, in their Second Reader. The littlu fallows read the best they could, nod. that satUfied the visitors., The Advanced Graronaar CUss by Glendening seemed ta be pretty well posted. Mr. Maddaok took them through as thorough an examination aa time would permit. The Sooood and Advanced Arithmetic Class by Mr. Beighle, on account of time were both brought up to tbe black-boards at once. They went at the work with alacrity, made figures rapidly, and solved problems about as fast as the teacher cou-ld propound them. Mr. Beighle seems to be using all his abilities to give proper training to the pupils placed under his instruction. The bearing of the Sixth Reader Class by Mr. Beighle, and the Algebra Class by Mr. Clendening, intermixed with some good vocal music by Teachers and Scholars, completed the exercises of the afternoon. And after a few remarks by Dr. tiifford and Messrs. Maddock and Beigble, school was dismissed. A. Visitor. A Sharp Game. The Congressional Nomination Tbickerv Shall Tuekk bk Fair Play, etc. Mr. Julian's Card. Mr. Julian, in his card, expresses bis preference for a popular vote on the first Monday in April, as the mode of making a nomination for Congress, but says, if "this plan should be deemed inexpedient by the Republicans of a majority of the counties of the Distriot, then I trust that delegates to a Congressional Convention may be chosen by the people of those counties, at Township Meetings, which shall assemble at a fixed day and hour, on fair previous notice." He advocates the adoption of the one or the other of these modes, because, to use bis own language, he desires to "prevent that systematic knavery and fraud which have become the bane of our polities. Io other words, no one cries out more lustily in favor of fair play than Mr. Julian, and no one "is more free to insinuate that frauds and knavery will be attempted thau he is. We agree with him and his friends, in demanding that there shall be no unfairness. His fiionds in this county insisted that there should be a vote bytownships, and that the vote by townships should be cast in convention, as indicated by the vote of Ibe townships at tbe polls. That was satisfactory to those opposed to him, and is the rule now adopted by this county, and by Union county also. By mis arrangement, u Mr. iuiian carries a township in Fayette County by the popular vote, he ccts the vote of that township in Convention. But are Mr. Julian and his friends acting fairly and in good faith, in this matter? We published last week a circular, privately circulated by Mr. Julian, among his friends in Way ne county, urging them to be promptly at the Centrcville Convention, and control it, and they did control it, adopting such resolutions as ihey desired, without opposition. Here is the one touching the question we are now considering: 'Hesolced, That io oase there shall bo a District Convention to nominate a Republican candidate for Congress, or for District Attorney, or a convention of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit to nominate a candidate for Circuit Judge, our CJounty Central Com mitten is hereby authorized to send one or more delegates to said conventions who shall cast the vote of this county for such candidate as shall receive a majority of the votes of this county at the said nominating election." According to this resolution, if Mr. Julian gets a majority, no matter how small, in tho aggregate, the vote of the entire County shall be cast for him io the convention, even though some of the tuionships shall vote against him. If he carries a township in Fayette or Union, be wants that counted for him though the aggregate vote of the county may be largely against him. If he itsrs a township in Wayne, be wants that counted for him, if he carries a bare majority of the vote of the entiro County. If Wilson carries a township in Wayne county, he sbal! not have it in convention, unless he cau carry the whole county. If Julian carries a township in Fayette county, be shall have it, although he does not carry the county. The bare statement of this is enough to show its utter unfairness. It might be characterised by a harsher name. Those who are so proliSo in insinuations of knavery, ought to thow a belter record! than the above. All we desire in this matter, is uniformity and a modo of nonj. inating that shall as accurately as possible express the wish of the Republicans of the district. If it is to be a vote by counties iu convention, let it be so understood. If it is to be by townships, let it be soj but to adopt one rule in one county and another in some other locality, to suit the exigencies of Mr. Julian, or any other man, is too unreasonable and absurd to be thought of for one moment. We have this further suggestion to make. Should Mr Julian be nomiqatd, he knows, and his friends know that many men who are sound Republicans will have to be conciliated in order to elect him. It is an unpleasant truth, but it cannot be concealed. Nothing will do more to effect this than a nomination fairly made. But if by this sort oT legerdemain, whilo crying "stop thief' be should manage a

convention, it would only (end to intensify

j the already embittered feding, and render the restoration or Harmony in inn panjr more difficult if not. impossible. There is a District Certral Committee, which should be at one called together for" the purpose of settling this matter. We insist that it shall bo done. Connersville Times. Julian. The resders of tbe Gasette need pot be informed that George W. Julian has not been abused or in any way unfairly treated in these columns. Yet that gentleman has the hardihood to ssy that we haVe abused him; misrepresented him; put spies upon his track, and shamefully treated him generally. He also tries to create the impression that we always disliked him. All of these assertions are untrue in every particular. In tbe first place we have no personal acquaintance . with Mr. Julian; have bad no "serious disagreement with him, and nothing has occurred to cause us to like or dislike him personally or politically. It is more than probable that he itoaginn the Gaiette has not been friendly to him; but this, if it be tmesis due to his own iufiruiities, and not to any act on our own part. Wre have a dim recollection that Mr. Julian frequently sent us printed copies of his speeches, and asked us to print them in tho Gazette, giving as a reason that our paper had a large circulation in t.i distriot, and it is our impression that we generally declined. We have also a recollection cf letter in which he oharged us with .being influenced by personal hostility to him, to which we did not reply, and of another letter intimating that, in not answering, w6 had added in sult to injury. Thus without any act of commission on our part, Mr. Julian had worked himself into a, rage, and was brimful of hard words of which he has a wonderful supply. We Boothed him, however, by saying that we declined to print his speech on newspaper, and not on personal grounds, and respeetfully asked him not to put himself to the trouble in future of calling for our reasons for declining to print such documents; that set speeches made in Congress were u-ually dull reading and were rarely printed by any newspaper, and that he might accept this from us as a standing rcasou fur not doing a thing of that kind which be might in tbe future ask us to do. This was, to us, a satit-factory conclusion of the only cor-j respondeuce that passed, aud if it was not j satisfactory to .Mr. Julian, it was because he was unreasonable, and uot because we were unjust. We treated him precisely as we treat every o'her mtu. We print , i . i i .1

be interested in reading theui. Thi, it is our impression, is the rule in all well reg ulated newspaper establishments. To tho following paragraph in a late general deliverance of Mr. Julian's, we have a word to say: "We repeat with emphasis what we have already said ns to the Gazette's sending a to use against Goorge W. Julian. Our j only error, as we have already remarked, was a very slight one as to the name of the party, which is Woodward, instead of Woodruff, a? we got it. The i'aet of this .secret embassy bus co;ne cut iu various ways, and the Gazette did well to evade tho point." This is a repetition of a falsehood. We did not pend Mr. Woodward into the Fourth District for any purpose whatever; Mr. Woodward is not connected with the Gazette, except that he occasionally writes us a news letter, fr which we pay hiui. He visited Centcrviile for the purpose of writing up the Walls case, which he did, and that was the object and end of his mistdon to the Fourth Dhfrict, o far as we were concerned. Furthermore, if we ( had sent Mr. Woodward to ftnellup" I against Mr. Julinn, wc ehould have pub lished the result; lut the Gazette hits not contained a line from that correspondent in regard to Mr. Julian. In this connection it is proper to say that we have refused to print at least lifty letters, that were written agiinst Mr. Julian, from the Fourth District, while nearly all of those written on the other side appeared in these columns. This fact eiTectually disposes of the charge that we have treated Mr. Julian unfairly, and future developments way furnish additional evidence upon this point. Had we been bo disposed, we might have said a gtcat deal against Mr. Julian, but our o'tiject being to aid in reuniting the party in the Foui th Dtrict, and not to writo Mr. Ju Man up or down, or to write any man up or down, we confined our remarks to brief statement of facts which cannot be S'lccesrd'uitY d sputcd. These were substan tially: 1. Ihit Mr. Julian is objectionable to a larte number of liepublicana in the Fourth District. 2. That he has been weicbt upon the ticket. 3. That be bas failed to poll the full vote of tho party 4. That nearly all the lvepublican papers in the district-were opposed to him, and that one of these had gone so far as to say it would not support him if nominated. 5.
