A number, of scientific gejitjejuei aiHi capitalists were iuyitel to. o to Paterson, N. J., yesterday iriorn-r ing, iu order to inspect ' the ' new- steam locomotive Oi Holland-- Up- pn ?niving at Patersdn the party was met-by Tl)rf Charles Holland, the inventor bf4 the locomotive, which was. attached to- a regular passenger traiif of the New York, Lake Erie .and Western Kail way, and wUici' .was ready lo. start for iS'ew Yoi k at 1.30 o'clock. The lo comotive was constructed. -at-' the Grant Works, in l'aterson, and 011 jjTiuay last was used io drawing .a freight train from Paterson to Jer iey City. Tke right to build such locomotives in Fi-ance has already been secured, -; - andf a fomjKiny khown as the New York Heat, Light and Power Company, to con struct them in this Stated has al ready been incorporated. ' The inventor explained that tlie new locomotive js luelled with hy drogen gas, ' which is constantly reproduced by its own heat from water through . the .mediation of 'a small proportion pf crn4e naphtha. iNo oil is burned in this process m the ordinary or popular sense of combustion. It is used exclusivelv within retorts without air as a le- comiosin agent for steam . The high temperature, of he fire chain-.' ber in which thelTrltprts are set keeps themsafficfentlyft hot to dis engage the xy&ejitean Iresence of the carbon of the 011 in their interiora the chemical attrac tion of thesejtwo elements causing them to unite m the proportions ol perfect combustion, and to become entirely converted into carbonic acid within the retorts. The released hydrogen is therefore the only com- onstioie ingredient leu to issue at the ibnyners at"! the height of the process. At the same time the heat of both processes the decom- josition within the retorts and the combustion: outside of them is confined and utilized -within the boiler for the making of steam. So great is this heat that if the decom- posmg agent oil) beshutoff it has been found that the steam contin- nes . to. . decompose by heat. alone, and to issue with. ' intensified com bustion at the "burners for a consid erable time. On the 29th of May the entire locomotive w as. finished up and delivered on the Erie Rail road at Paterson, It is said to be the most beautiful specimen of lo comotive I workmanship and deco ration eyer put On the rails. Its weight, complete on the road, is 48 tons; length, C2 feet; driving wheels, 5 feet in diameter; cylinders, 17 by 24 inches! The gas-making retorts are I lour -in; number, oi massive wrought iron, semi-cylindrical or dome-shaped, the size and shape being nearly that of half a peck measure with the convex side up. They 'are Set on short iron -posts iu a row, across the fire box; near the floor and near the door. ,-The inte rior of eaclrtsetort is a single -undivided -chain bet, :lnto which enters ft-oni tlieLtop a n oil-pqe, ex ten d i n g to within one iuuli t'rom,the bottom, and alsopipes from the steam-space and water-space in Hhe boiler, all opened and closed by finely fitted and ganged vali'es. An outlet pipe also passes from the top of each re tort to a, manifold" joint, in which these four pipes unite and so con nect with a massive cast-iron gas "main" running centrally through the fire-box lore and aft (length 8 feet, diameter 4 inches), at a level about three;inehes below the bot- torn of the retorts. . .This main is divided into three sections by cut- off valves, enabling the engineer to supply or withhold ' gas .to anv section of the burners at pleasure, From each side of the main hori- zontal branch pipes of 1 inch cali- bre and three or four inches apart! extend at right angles across the j fire-box to the number of 02. Each of these pipes (except the extremes) is pierced on its upper side with two rows of minute, burner holes, alternating in posit iou and oblique- j ly pitched in such a manner that ; the gas-iets from the right side ofi one pipe aud those from the left or nearer side ot tlie next pipe con verge and meet iu pairs, each pair uniting at an angle of, say, 45 de grees, directly over a 1J inch air hole in the iron floor of the fire-box. The total number of jets thus placed is 548. The air-holes are -opened and closed wholly or par tially at will by under slides con trolled by levers from the engi neer's cab. Under the whole is constructed an air-chest, open for ward, to secure a pressure of air are other agente beiittseil in tlu3crased, .butVf . endeavptpplace or cheapen as thoprpcess aes onto perfection " into the air-holes during rapid ; motion, and also to warm the-drat't , aD tuusr save- the great- heat radi 1 uted downward from the tire. , i'iie retorts ot a locomotive in service will seldom le cooled j but for initiating the process, in. cold irou priming .oil-pipe runs ;under the lour retorts, touch-in, each, of .them with six lets, which ; turned .'on "and lighted tempo- rarilv' until the .retortsvai-e 4iofc j enough to -vapbze loil iuiheir in- itthre- fQh bcg!ifstotburu in vapor at the burner orifices,, somefitty of wuicn are turecriy 11 u tier me re torts, and now rapidly heats them up.

Tfie entire fire is extinguished as instantaneously as a common gas jet, and in the same manner by simply- shutting off both oil and steam at once. ' The first shock of an accident will trip a closing lever, and thus automati cally put out the fire before the wreck is begun. As to the oil, it is confined .in a tank as tight arid strong a& the boiler itself, inclosed within the water-tank or the ten der, and is communicated to the retorts in streams of the size of sewing cotton. Promptly on time,;il:30' o'clock, the train started from the depot at Paterson, with William Vellner as the eiigineer. !The roufe was over the Newark aiut Paterson branch tftJersey Ci)y,)aJid Vthe start was upa-steeiaidi was" 'fesvedloiiSerbf persons especially interested in the engine's l?rip witlr" 6" frill-fledg passenger train. There was no - smoke from the vent-pipe, nothing but vapor, and this was asserted to be due to the fact that the engine was carry ing more steam than she needed. The train reached the depot at Jer sey City one minute and ten se conds ahead of time. The distance between Paterson and Jersey City is said to be 10J miles. Eighty four gallons of oil were used,.ac cording to Dr. Holland. This, at 2i cents a gallon, would cost $.10. Ureat tiuHeral Fm.d. Klection A bill appropriating twenty-t wo millions of dollars has been passed by Congress, all ostensibly to be expended in changing and arrang ing the rivers and harbors. More than half of this immense sum of money has been voted away to be applied to insignificant and unheard-of creeks and streams be cause the majority of the Represen tatives were bound to get appro priations from the national resour ces, each for his own neighborhood. With such a unanimous sentiment animating Congress, it-was neces sary that each loose-minded man should have his appropriation, or no River and Harbor bill could ha ve ever been passed; and so from ten to fifteen millions are to be ta ken fiom the Treasury without any good reason of a public nature-. Now, this enormous sum of money, these tenor fifteen millions thius ta ken from the Treasury, lor which there can be no justification, and which amounts to a wholesale pub lic; robbery, is really grabbed for one purpose alone. This purpose is to help the return of the present Representatives in Congress. Under the dispensation of the Republican party money has grown to be a most tremendous agent in carrying elections. It was for mon ey that the late President Garfield wrote to his dear Hubbell, and it was the successful disburse!' of this money, or soap, as President Arthur called it, obtained iu re spouse to this appeal, who received from the managers of his party the credit of carrying the election of Garfield and Arthur. The Republicans have organized 1 the whole civil service on a basis of j a fair return of wages for the bene- ( fit of the party in exchange for the' privilege of holding office; and it was anxiety to learn how this sys tern was working that induced Gar-1 field to. ask Hubbell how the de-! nartnients were doing.

After a survey of such a state of things the members of Congress have decided to raise their own ex- (I11U ft JJLf A 1 'f LLMM twrnf4 uuu iimmiur clusive'-campaign fund, and to;take it, - iimj th(3 -National?
