PHILADELPHIA, Sep. 15,1876. Not far from the main entrance of Machinery Hall is a mighty engine, whose ponderous wheels are the embodi ment of rugged, shaggy strength. If I may bo permitted an animal illuutration, there arc engines there that have the quick spring of the lion and the tiger ; they nro sleek, and polished, and fine the engine I am speaking.' of now is in couiparrison to them-a grizzly bear or hippotamuB. A sewing machine mnkes more noise, and yet in these pistons, and l?vera, and wheels, ia the power of a thousand hojrses. Turn your back for a moment and place your ear to the railing. You aro now in a position to catch the most delicate vibration. You hear dis tinctly the ticking of the watch in your pejket, yet here work two mighty levers, a giant piston, and a ponderous fly-wheel twenty feet in diameter; and yet so noiselessly this leviathan move? that an infant might sleep beside ic .md never have its.slumbers disturbed. The mest startling characteristic of the machinery of to-day is tbe utter absence of uoise and the ease with which it performs its tasks. The great engine described above is for the grinding of sugnr-cane, and lt scarcely seems as if so much power would bc required tor such a purpose. A little beyond the sugar mill we como to the ice boats. Elegant affairs they are. On good ice and with a fair wind they are capable of making their seventy miles an hour. Ploughs for cutting ice and providing ils with those luxuries of ice cream, not to mention smashes, Ban gerees, cobblers, and all those fascinating heverages in which the average-Atnerican doth so much delight. It 'would' appear that there ia nothing in the range of household economy which is considered too insignificant for American genius. One man devotes his life to the success of a double-action rolling-pin, and no other to the improvement of a two-story pepper-box. Washing machines innu merable have lifted thc load of Atlas from thc weary shoulders of the. housewife; and now blue Monday comes around without it? angry terrors-thanks to the labors of these unwearied benefactors of mankind. Who does not recollect the time when in bia -nisorable boyhood he was bounced out of bed at five o'clock in the morning to griud tho coffee, and how you stood oil n candle box to do it, and the mill was screwed so tight you could hardly turn it, and bow the handle came off and the box upset, and rubbing your shins you said "cuss" words that you didn't want tho old man to bear. These reflections were induced by looking at a coffee mill made by tho Enterprise Manufacturing-Company of Philadelphia. Why did not they invent it thirty years ago? What lickings they might have saved nie. The mill is a highly orna mental affair, with a couplo of fly-whc?ls, and so admirably is it constructed that when you once set it going it would most run itself. Aud then there was a wonderful faecet, by the arrangement of which you could mea- ure any amount of molasses or syrup from a half-pint to a dozen gallons; a marvelous cheese knife, with* which you could cut off half a pound to a half a cheese} a tohmiico cut ter that could nip a plug of cavendish in two as easy as if it were browr. paper; presses for all kinda of meat and fruits, and something that will mako woman kind rejoice so long as their, husbnnds ?hsll wear white shirts anki.ithoir own dimity has to bo immaculato. This great invention ia a sad iron ; I think it ought, j to be called a glad iron ; tho handle is of wood and round liko the handle on a carpenter's plane, it takes off from the hon while it is heating ; no burned Ang ers, no hl.ist-rcd bands, no inward swear tog when they would have you think ?ter^jtoging, "I wan,^ te an ?og? ^ nothing but peaco, serenity arid ***** ircrr.r.g. ?? {? iu?rcd nmiuw -?"'v whftV wfe 'h?ieA o-?ri r-ejJiyJU Uri/* Mir rU- pbc'.'.o,, mm .jar vy aliens, r.u? om K'uppa, that we have nlso ? clsss of men hke those representing tho - Em^rpriso Manufacturing Company, who devote their gcdiUS'atd?tl/eiriivMkt??i?f?ng the lighter loads from the ?houlderaof augers lug humanity, and choosing those thing? which tho greater inventors consider altogether bennath their notice. . "3??) Her?lf?pjilrfi 5?Cl?f envelope ma chine. A man need not be very old tu remember the iime when it waa uot con sidered exactly the thing to scad a letter in an envelope. And nov/'show me the man, or woman either, who would have courage to ie?d a letter without one. Havo you ever seen an envelope ma chine? If you have not you have missed one of the greatest curiosities of modern times. To describe it so that u person can have a good, clear idea of ita opera tion*; is next to impossible. Though ap parently invented to supply a very sim ple want, jt woka to begone of the most marvelous and intricate pieces of ma chinery ever made by human hands or invented by the human brain; nothing that I have ever seen in the why of ma chinery seems to act with such a human intelligence. Every movement and every mot'.on is guided by a wkdotn that ?>?->m? littlole?4h?nmiracu1doWi ''3Wl&?$down in your noie book, and don't forget ?lin envelope maker in .Machinery Hall. Walters* great printing press from Eng land occupies a position a little north east of the centre. It ?B a wonderful piece of mechanism in one sense, but it makes more noise at its work then all the rest of the. roa?h|aery in the great itali pnt together, including the 'rent Corlis engine. In contradistinction to tia*, there is another press ot the great Exhi bition which is the eighth wonder of the world. I refer to the new Campbell press, the like of which has never been Been since the world began. All of the best printing presses aro large, heavy and cumbersome ; even thc Bullock's and Brewster's prestes, and the most improved Hoes are filled With com ni ?catee: machi fie ry and innumerable vh -els ; but here is a press occupying comparatively little space, a mere skeleton na regards ma chinery, and yet doing work that ,the wildest dreamer never dared to hope. The forms arc prepared, thc rollers are adjusted and the engineer .?taftdB at his post with the lover in his hand. He turns it gently backward and the way ahe goes at twenty thousand,, an hour, printed on both sides a? vnce,. folded, registered and piled up rmdy for the newsboys to take under h ir arms and peddle in thc streets, x 'ave watched the improvements in print.ug presses foi many years, and there is no machine which human genius his developed that fill:; me with Buch reverence and admira tion. There must be a point of perfec tion somewhere, and it seemed to me that thia morning, as I-stood in the presen o of this monarch of mechanical skill, th? iaventor might inscribe above it, "ne pin ulirs," satisfied that lu the mutations o all coming time its superior trill neve, be discovered. Directly in the centre of the building and near the north entrance, which face the lake, is another wonderful labor-sav ing invention, known os the America) type writer. See that splendid-looking dark-eyed woman who sits by tho ma chine, and plays upon it like a grant piano ; watch how deftly her fingers fl; over the yielding keys.

While Governor Chamberlain of South Carolina is plotting with tho Washing ton conspirators for the overthrow of fra? government, not in the South ouly, but in tho whole country, his adjutants aro busily engaged nt home in stirring up their negro adherents to murder ana riot. Our despatches tell the story of the scan dalous proceedings in tho street:; of Charleston during Wednesday night, and of the outrages inflicted on the peacea ble laborers of thc Corabaheo rice fields for a week past. We have already printed full accounts of tho intimidation practiced against Democratic negroes io si! p?rts G> the South, but in no South ern State bas this proscription been so bitter and relentless as in South Carolina and Louisiana. Taught by the example of their white leaders that thc laws are aa mockery and a sham, th?* lower and desperate classes of ho colored people hesitate ot nb crime to further their abandoned ends. The record of every week in "the Prostrate State" is a shock ing series of arsons, outrages and mur den which pales the storj tf Ireland un der English rule by contrast So com mon have they become, and so hopeless dre the white people of relief from those to whom the administration of the laws ?8 committed, that these crimes are'suf fered to g..? almost without protest. In one instance only, of late, have the re spectable citizens taken the law into their own hands and inflicted a punishment that would seem altogether incommensu rate with the immediate offense, but which was intensified by the recollection of innumerable atrocities in the past, lt has happened that very many colored Ecopie or the better sort-those who ave accumulated a little property and have an equal Btake with the whites in securing good government-have an nounced their determination to vote the Conservative ticket. This hos subjected them to persecution of the most malig nant nature. They are waylaid at night rind beaten ; they are threatened with death if they do not resume their allegi ance to the Radical party ; they are ex pelled from churches by the brute force of majorities and made outcasts among their people. It has been found neces sary for tho whites to guard tho meetings of these poor people from violence, and to escort tho m?muers of colored Demo cratic efabs back tc their bornes. Last Friday evening, in Charleston, one of these meetings was assaulted by drunken ruffians ssd croker up. This act was repeated on Wednesday night, and there followed a satuonnlia of disorder and plunder such as could occur in no Amer ican city uncu ned by the rule of such scoundrels os have plunged South Caro lina into a very aov.*s of misery, from which her reputable people are now manfully endeavoring to extricate her. In Louisiana, tbe same dreary story re curs. Our despatches have detailed the recent murderous attempts in the interior parishes of the State, and there is con clusive evidence that the ignorant nc ggies are acting only under the advice and prompting of designing whites. It is a desperate struggle in both un happy commonwealths. On the one hand are arrayed the united body of intelligent citizens, representing the mercantile, ag ricuitural and industrial interests of tho State and aided by the better classes of the colored people; on the other, the disreputable aliens whose only object is and has been plunder, controlling and supported by the ignorance and depravi ty of the lower orders of negroes. On tue one hand wo have Hampton who, like Adams, of Massachusetts, represents an illustrious revolutionary name, and with whom are virtually associated all the worth and probity of the State, and Nichols and his colleagues, who repre sent the same vital elements of society in Louisiana-? On the other we have tho infamous Packard and his associute, Wu r m nt h ' tho authors of every wrong firom which Louisiana has suffered ; Pat terson, a carpet-bagger, rriio openly bought a seat in the United States Sen ate, and who thinks Scath Carolin "is good for four years' stealing yet." Moses, whose record as Gorcrnor was simply a series of shameless robberies, and Cham berlain, tho attorney for the plunderers, who vainly intrigue! for the support of tho Democrats and, failing, has turned lipon them with characteristic virulence. these are the men who wrung his revolutionary instructions out of the At torney General, and in whose behalf these instructions aro to be carried out. Tho people of the United 8tatcs may seo their chances of future greatness in thia contest. Will they suffer the constitu tion to bc violated for such a purpose and by such men ? Will they permit our ] free institutions to be made a scoff and a i byword in such a cause? The helpless citizens of the South look to us of the North for succor.

The above is taken from a letter in the Chicago Time* from ita Washington cor respondent, in which he gives 'his views upon the Attorney General's circular to the marshals and an interview With Gov. Ch?mrM>ri?ifv it will be observed that Ohnmbcrriin regards the "chango" he describes 03 a personal o?enso to himself, and thc Democrats, in' making it, viola tors of an understanding between him and them. He also treats it os a dec?a- - ration of war. Peace and" quietness only lay in the direction of D?mocratie endorsement of himself. To put up Hampton was to decide on ' a ''fight. This is all intensely cool, and shows the Governor to be far advanced in his ideas that the government of South Carolina is pureiy personal, and ho is'the only per son who is entitled to tho honor. The other statement of his apprehension of 1 danger is surely an exaggeration. If it bo true even that he has felt hts life in constant danger, it i* not necessarily froof cr a "very bad condition of affairs, t may be evidence merely of an appre hensive disposition. He may have felt that there WES danger when thw.e was none. The alarm and uneasiness of en individual, even though ho be the Gov ernor, no moro proves a "very bad condi tion of affairs" than one swallow makes a summer. The Governor is not accus tomed to obstacles, not used to noise and shouting, except in the conclaves of his OTTS political p??ij. He knows enough of them to know, as be said at the lost convention, that all their sound and fury means nothing. Chairs were flourished over his head, as the veracious Keegan, of TintVty'? Magazine, testified, but not a hair on it was hurt. Somehow it always h8ppens%. sa'd the Governor, that thete tnrhnlnnt ?cenes serer result in hr."'.. Iii like manner we would have him un derstand that the indignation of the tax payer, who pays dollars where he once paid cents,' will be kept within the bounds of a peaceful expression. Citi zens who have a withering contempt for the corruptions, frauds, infamies and im be ci li ty of the Radical porty and State government, are, nevertheless, under thorough self restraint. They will pro voke and engage in no disturbances, they will continue to exercise forbearance ana self-control. But they do hot intend to let this election go by default. They do not mean to keep their mouths shut, or allow the truth to bo any longer conceal ed. They will proclaim it on the house tops and everywhere. They have sum moned the Radical hosts and their lead ers te a great popular trial and judgment,' and will expose, in language that cannot be misunderstood, although it may at times bo rough and plain, and rasp the Radical conscience uncomfortably, their misdeeds, their misgovernment, their trickery, their debauchery, and, in a word, their utter unfitness to govern n State. They will insist that they shall step down and out;. But this ia not personal vio- j lencr?, and it need not test the courage of j any man whose conscience! is clear and 1 sereno. Rising Above Party.

Senator Patterson publicly declared in th in city br fere the Cameron order waa issued: "We've got to raise h-ll somehow with the niggers and get the troops down there, or the d--n rebels ?ill carry tho cloe tion in Bpite ot* u;y ' and it was in obedi ence to this spirit', more honestly than clegautly expressed by Patterson, that the Cameron order WAS issued. The negroes, especially in such sections as Charleston,' where they are in ari overwhelming ma jority, now believe, that the army isbc hin? tb?ro, and that they can do anything necessary to carry the election, and they ore only too ready to indulge in the larg*1 est license, i The danger now bi? that they will not stop with political violence.

Gov. Chamberlain is greatly alarmed fur the safety of bis State;, and the Republi can leaders here to-night would be glad bad Cameron's order never beou issued. All reliable reports from Charleston go to prove that the Republican : negroes at* tacked the Conservative negroes without provocation of any kind, and tito result ts a v/ild mob of ignorant and lawless blades, who believe themselves above all restraint, legal or otherwise.

A nion should put his heart into everything that he docs, There is no profession that has not its peculiar cares and vexations. No man will escape annoyance by changing his business. No mechanical business is altogether agreea ble. Commerce in its endless varieties is effected like all other pursuits with trials, unwelcome duties and disspiriting neces sities. It bi the very wantonness of folly for a man to search the fwts and burdens of his calling, and to gi vc .his mind every day to a consideration of them.

WE?OHINO A BRAM OF LTOJ?TV ??JD How rr ts DONE.-Mr. Crookes* mosi startling discovery of how to weigh s beam1 of light appears to hnvo originated somewhat in this way. , Desi rou?! ol W??ghing Bomo small quantity of a sub stan ce' without those' dlstu rbn n ces I hr ? pa rable from thc- operation:! ns orr' mri!) conducted,. Mr. Crookes mado unge tto ?CCO?jpusu the wei"! mg ir vacuum, and was surprised to und tba when a light was approached to tho ox bausted receiver; a new sci of 'disturbing influences were called into play, and tho tho action of gravitation was appreciably modified. Mr. Crookes at once, sot t< work td d?termine tho general condition and in ten ci ty of thin now force, wbicl resulted in tue absoluto knowledge thu the beam of light was not only weight but that it is possiple tb wcigb.it. Th apparatus for weighing tho beam of Ugh consisted of nn exhausted glass chambo in the form of a -horizontal cross, wltl ame! of circular cross section.i| Insid the larger arm is a glass fibre ni ai nt ai ne. In a uniform state ci ieos'oii Ly ? spiro spring st on? end,' ?t?a by ? glass'stoppe at tho other, which stopper Ts capable 0 rotation. The shorter arm ur tho. eros contains in u like manner a stouter iibr beam of glass secured nt tho point c crossing to the longitudinal or torsio: fibre, and having at ono extremity a pit surface of two square inches area, mid s the other end a little cup. Inside tb chamber there is a loose particle of ii o weighing 1-100 of a grain, and outsid the stopper is a counter recording th number of torsions or turns the giai fibre makes. Now, tho method of proa dure is ns follows: The position ot s d< of light from the little mirror placed 1 the intersection of th? two glass1 flbn having been noted, the little iron weigl is lifted by means of a magnet, ac placed in the cup, which, when tin weighted, descends. Torsion is then ai plied to the glass fibre until tho beam lifted, S?d the dot- of light returns to ? former position. This may be called tl zero of the machine. This exact arnon of torsion having been determined and i equivalent in weight- ascertained, tl torsion is removed, and' the ray of Ht is then made to fall on tbe due, wbl causes a depression t i tho glass beam, If it was weighted jy a tangible su stance. The calculation of the absolc pressure of the sun's radiation on square foot cf tho earth, when carri out to the squaie mile, gives a force fifty-seven tons.
