It' is not impos sible that, ras precautionary measure against ' these outbreaks, sortie of the troops which for san itary purposes' are now encamped at Camp Olive and elsewhere, may be sent to their regular posts in the South earlier than the usual time, which is in Novem ber. Upon this dispatch the Times makes the following editorial comment : The effect of the definite organ ization of a white man's party in Alabama begins to be seen, and our readers may judge ot it by the statements in our Washing ton dispatches this morning. We are inclined to make allowance for political excitement in these reports. The witnessscs are all of one party,' &nd most ot them di rectly interested in the affairs they testify. about: But after all pro per deduetibLs,rthe evidence of a very bitter and unfortunate revi val of the determination of the whites in Alabama to prevent the negroes from taking an active part m politics is very strong. The main purpose is to frighten tlie ifegro. It hardly" appears to go farther than that. But that is farther than the government can properly aflbw it to1 go. The President will, no doubt,:move as to any such matter with that cau tion and circumspection he'has shown lately in conspicuous in- stances but' that he will use ftl his : power ' to protect all citizens in the enjoyment ot their constitu tionai rights . ,we nave no doubt. And he will be entirely sustained by the great body of the people, ot both parties; m do ing so. . i'erhaps by the close .of the century" the Democraticpohti- cians mav learn that even their own followers will not sustain thenv in organization of voters.

New York World. ,: There is now oh exhibition at No. 71 Broadway, room 32, a new type setting machine, which has been in vented by Mr. Fenton G. Foster, of Wakefield, N. C. The defects . of previous machines Mr. Foster claims to have remedied in" his invention, and he thinks he has in this one an apparatus capable of doing the work of four ordinary compositors, and of doing it equally as well if not "better than they. With the aid of machine ry to construct each part of the ma chine Mr. Foster expects to be able to furnish it at a cost of about $75 a price vvhich will bring the article withiil the reach of all printers. ... In appearance the apparatus is not unlike a parlor organ, with key board exactly like that instrument, 'and' at each side are two stopsV which are used for chamrimr.the letter. -1 Under neath, as in the organ- is the pedal the use of which is to place the type iti bositoii after it 7 drops' from the font above. Each key is lettered. and as the; operator touches it by, an ingenious arrangement of springs, the corresponding letter is detached from the font above, and dropped down to the level of the key-board, and by a pressure of the foot of the operation upon the pedal is securely placed in the form.1 -: Tho fonts for - the ?type are placed at the top of the instru ment, and when the last letter in t font drops a Httje bell warns 4 the operator to replace the empty font with a full' one . ; ' Each stylet of letter is handled . with equal faeihty, a chancre m'the stop at the side chang ing the letter from Roman" to italic, &c, just as in the organ the tone is cnangecL J-atUe' practice is reqmrea to operate tne macmne, as it is con structed to do most of the work itself. Mr, Foster has spent the last' eight years ot nis me m penecting me present apparatus, ana uunng tnat time has constructed many different machines, only to find some radical defect in them when completed, but the present one satisfies him, and he appears certain that it . will do, its work welL He Invites inspection from all practical men, and yesterday very many compositors called at his rooms and examined ; the machine, and witnessed its workings, ; ' ' Tn connection with this composing machined Mr. Foster saya he has in vented a machine; for distributing the type, which will do its work quite as accurately and more rapidly than the typo setting machine does, He lias not yet constructed the latter machine, wishing to intioduce the present-one first,, .His invention is ana snejis, passing nerseir on ior a girl of twenty' three',4 there is"fi"d call tor patented, however, and as soon as practicable ja worting mddeLwill bo built and exhibited. ) ju -r -mv.iL' Washington's Messages.
