' " . :"' THAT.BIOTOB. j What mote it be? Here i? a con tributor to " the Savannah Morning News, to whom the News gives con-, sulerable prominence by editorial consideration, who feels quite sure "he lias discovered Mr. : Keelev's secret, lie assumes that' the motor is gener ated by carbonic acid, j which fact being granted tbe Philadelphian is entitled only to a recognition of merit for the discovery of a mode of applying a well known principle. A, contributor to the Richmond Dispatch thinks he has solved the question by 1 giving the opinion that the force is due to "the resolution of water gradually introduced into - a vacuum." He says: i! ; , As "Nature, abhors a vacuum," by sym pathetic action (if we may be allowed the expression)- a speciel of cold vapor of water is evolved which fills and occupies the void produced, by Ihe exhaustion of air. This vaior. or resolved water, possesses, it would si-em, a very expansive power,. , &ad by. me- f li.iDical contrivance propels tue piston-roa, which would compress the air before it. As soon as atmospheric air is readmitted to the vucuuitt-chamber, the Vapor returns to its former watery condition and flosses its ex- pniiMve power.- The; compressed .air, re-; smnes its original status and equilibrium is again established. The great s and "almost insurmountable difficulty would-be (in . ap-- piyiug the invention on a large scale) to pre . vent the introduction- of air along with the water. If this could be avoided there is no reason why the Keeley motor" should not he the most economical, safest and quickest airent in producing motion, and would in all probability, to a great extent, if not en- - tirely, supplant the use.oi steam. Meantime other mechanical geniuses are at work not to explain, '" but -. v-l ' -'i I" T .t . - : .' ., - eclipse, Mr. Keeley. A Boston news paper man (what is it a newspaper man will notattemjpt to dot) comes to the front of the platform with a little contrivance of his own, which is thus described: j - It is an oxy hydrogen motor the. simple use of the law of affinity between two par-r4 lu-uiar gaseous bodies- the sudden produc tion of heat and tremendous force by the addition of certain amounts of hydrogen to iue common air. It is described as a coin pact little machtne. made of cylinders, pis lou, injectiug tabes, insulated copper wire. c, and connected witu reservoirs or oxy gen and hydiogen gases, generated on the 'Spot. - ' ; V. tV:.; . The wires are connected with a galvanic hiiitfcry, and by a properly adjusted lever j operated by the machinery,, the -contact is made for each' wire just at the proper mo ment. W heo; therefore, at pne, end tthe piston beiue in Drooer Dosition) the injectors are made to discharge the two gases into the small space inside, which can be done; by iHiiii power to start the machine, the circuit r contact is made with the wire, which throws off an electric snaxk inside. ; .: r This at once explodes the gases and drives tne piston to the other end oi tne cylinder were the same operation is repeated,, artr ins the niston back airain with ereat force.

It is well known that the bulk of the metals owned by the Government is held in this city; and yet, on that r day, the amount in the Sub-Treasury here was" re ported at only $46,600,000; leaving $23, 400,000 as distributed among the various other depositories. The amount held out side the New York Sub-Treasury appears so large, especially considering that the New Orleans gold was transferred to this city during the late riotous demonstrations, that it seems very J improbable that " any thing like that amount of gold f is held at the other points of deposit; and the conclu sion is suggested that in this sum of $28, 400,000 there is included something which can be, called gold : only by a very wide 8tretcbr0f nomenclature, i :, . - ." .- Grant's administration is one vast system of Humbug; but it: is ' the natural outgrowth of the Republican party and its Radical ideas ( and dis honest practices. ; j f L f THE RADICAL ADDRESS.

Judge Samuel Watts, of the Sixth District, is-, an , 'elegant ...specimen of the Judiciary of Reconstruction.
