Blackford, of the Capitol police force, have been made to Sergeant-at-Arms Thompson. An Investiga- tion of the same will be had, commencing at two o'clock to-morrow. The gravamen of the charge 1s that he has neglected to sto] abuses, even after his attention been in- vited to them. He 1s also charged with trans- actions involving lewdness, EX-SECRETARY ROBESON made an hour's speech in the House this afternoon.

It aj attendiny of Michigan, St. Lous paper ponnpnet that the very on the democratic side was filled with foo ies] ous oaths, and that Turner was in his seat and shaking his fist at Burroughs said, ‘You are a a—dhiar.” As the correspondent made no distinction in the way of identifying which Tur- ner he meant, it was not known in Kentucky who was the Pike on the occasion. The enemies of Mr. Oscar Turner flooded his district, with the paper containing the sketch, To-day Oscar disclaimed for himself using any such language. Then Thomas Turner also made adenial. He sald that the purpose of some correspondents seemed to be to do nothing but Ne, and they did it with such assiduity that he sometimes thought their salary was scaled in accordance with their mendacity. He created quite an explosion by denying also a previous charge made against him in a New York paper, saying that he was k onthe floor. “No man,” said he, “ever saw me drunk in ee: and on the day I was ¢ with drunk J had not had a drink of liquor for three days.” He closed by warning the correspon- dents that if they continued their prevarica- tions they might be dented the privilege of the reporters’ gallery. CONFIRMATIONS.—The Senate in executive session yesterday confirmed the following nom- nations:—Horace Austin, of Minnesota (late Third Auditor of the Treasury), to be register of the land office at Fargo, Dakota; Frederick W. Miner to be U, 8. attorney for the northern district of Texas, SUICIDE OF A TOBACCO MANUFACTURER.—Col- lector Marks telegraphs as follows from New Orleans to Commissioner Raum, to-day:—“‘J Desca, tobacco manufacturer, whose Offer of ccinpromise was forwarded to youa few day3 @go, committed suicide this morning.” AMONG THE PATENTS issued, bearing date ot the 22d, are two granted to Thomas A.

Ia all such its there is danger of the metal Melting and destroying the apparatus, and breaking the continuity of the circuit. My im- proven.ent is made for regulating the elez'rc current passing through such ‘incandesce :t conductor automatically, and preventlog its temperature _ rising the meltin< point, thus producing a reliable elecirc light by renacring conducting substanc :s incandescent by passing an elect c current through them. In my apparatus t.e heat evolved or developed ts made to resula-e the electric current so that the heat canon t become too intense because the current Is les- sened by the effect of the heat when certain temperatures are reached, vent stances, times below the meltiug point of the incandescent substance. Various devices for carrying my Improvement into practice may be employed. and I have tested a large number. I, however, have shown in the drawings my im- provement in a convenient form, and contem- plate obtaining separate patents hereafter for other and various detatls of construction, and I state my present invention to relate broadly to the combination. with an electric light pro- duced by incandescence, of an automatic ther- mal regulator for the electric current...._ The incandescent metal is to be platinum, rhodium, iridium, titanium, or any other suitable con- ductor ‘having a high fusing point, and the same is used in the form of a wire or thin plate or leaf.... The expansion or contraction of aj suitable material under changes of ea forms a thermostatic current regulator that operates automatically to pre- vent injury to the apparatus and to the heated by the current. * * * The electric light may be surrounded by a glass tube or any other suitable device, such as two concentric glass tubes with the intervening 5; filled with alum water or other bad conducior of heat, the object, peiue to retain the beat of the incandes- cent metal and prevent lcs by radiation thus requiring less current to supply the loss by radiation. I am aware that the electric current has been used to produce heat and that such heat hag been employed to vary the relative position of the light-giving elec- trodes and the length of the intervening arc. In my light there is no electric arc.” The in- vention claimed is,In combinaiton with an elec- tric light, having a continuous incandescent conductor, a thermostatic circuit regula- tor and a thermostatically operated shunt. In the thermal regulator invention, also granted yesterday, the object is to devise a rellable and economical electric lamp to give light by incandescence due to the of the electric current through conductors of elec- tricity so that a great number of lamps may be used in the electric circuit. The invention con- sists In causing the heat generated by the in- candegcent conductor to expand the alr or fluid in the containing chamber as its temperature rises, the pressure thus creat serv- ing “to move outwardly a yielding such as a diaphragm” which in its turn serves to control the passage of the electric current through the incandes- cent body by means of contact points or circult regulators, and thus the temperature of the in- candescent conductor will be regulated auto- matically. A NEW RAILROAD CONNECTION.—The move in railroad extension which has lately excited attention in this region is that of the Reading railroad to the Baldwin steel works. At first that was regarded as a mere siding on which to deliver coal to the steel works, but since it has been made and in operation conjecture has been active in divining the real puree in view in securing this small extension. It means something more than a branch to deliver coal toa single corporation. What, then, is the ac. tual object in view?

C., this morn- ing says: “At the opening of the U. 8. circuit this (yesterday) morning, Judge Bond in- structed the jury cl ed with the trial of the Barnwell county election conspiracy cases to bilog in a verdict of ‘not guilty’ on the ground of a defect in the information. * * The jury brought in a verdict of ‘not guilty.’ Dis- trict Attorney Northrop then moved to continue all the political cases until the next November term of the court. The cases were so con- tinued.” ‘The cases which are thus postponed have at- tracied much attention and their institution was to agreat extent the result of political pres- sire. Their continuance until November next amounts to a practical abandonment. The de- nouement that was reached yesterday was, there is good authority for saying, upon What tad’ gone to South Carolina from Wash- ington, ‘he President’s method of dealing with the south, which he inaugurated when he first entered upon office, is further canied out i the disposition of these cases. They were the outcroppings of prejudice and political ani- mosity. Their discontinuance &@ rebuke to the revival of sectionalism which 1s attempted. The southern members of Con- giess are perfectly sa‘isfied with the turn which affairs have taken, and in it re- cognize the consistency of the President. That the good feeling is not all on one side ts evi- denced by the facts that the state judiciary of South Carolina yesterday rei F, L. Car- dozo, ex-treasurer of the state, and that an agreement has been had to abandon the polit- ical prosecutions against republicans. As both the democratic charges against republicans and the pepmblcan charges against democrats were undoubtedly born of political prejudices, the settlement reached yesterday is a very satis- factory ore to those who put peace and good will above partisan ends and desires. Parole’s Victory Yesterday. PARTICULARS OF THE RACER. A cable telegram to yesterday’s Stak briefly Mentioned the victory of the American horse Parole in the race in England for the City and Suburban stakes. Later dispatches say:—“ A “ets Start was effected. Ridotto took the lead, followed by Censer, Parole, Eif King, Knight of Burghley, Attalus, Cradle and Belphoebe. When they fairly settled down Censer drew away, fol- lowed by Knight of Burghley, Elf King, Parole and Ridotto. As they came near home Elf King headed the Knight of Burghley, followed by Censer, Parole, Kidotto and Cradie. Here Elf King, Censer Age Knight of Burghley were beaten. Ridotto a slight 1 but was immediately challenged by Parole, who won easily by a length, @ 2:16.” LORILLARD’S STABLE WINS $150,000. Parole’s unexpected victory last Wednesday, when he carried off the Newmarket handicap, made him at once a favorite, and though he was ob! tocarry 10 pounds more (bi Ing his weight up to 131 pounds-as a penalty of the victory,) he at once the favorite. For the City and suburban stakes he was heey backed, and at Mr. Lorillard’s stable he was the observed of all observers.
