The Case of Umler vs. Lehman.
Among the last official acts of Colonel
FORNEY, Clerk of the House of Representa

E. LENHAN as the Representative in Congress
from the First Congressional district of this
State en the Toll of members. For doing this
he encountered the opposition of Mr. STEVENS,
the Representative from Lancaster, also in
this State. The reasons which actuated the
Clerk are contained in the following paper,
which was read to the House at his own re
quest. It is but just to say that Mr. LEIEMAN
distinguished himself during his discussion
with Mr. STEVENS in deferim of his rights on
the floor of the House. It was his first effort

OP HON. Wm. L. LEIBMAN WI TIM BOLL OF Taß
The Clerk, in piecing the name of William E. i
Lehman upon the roll of members, for the First
0 ongressional district of Pennsylvania, was
seinated by the following reasons:
William F. Packer, Governor of Pennsylvania,
on the Bth day of November, 18d0, pursuant to the
provisions of antra Assembly, leaned his proolamit•
lion declaring William E. Lehman wee duly
elected Representative in Congress from the First
Congressional &strict. and enumerating him with
twenty four others as members elect from the
State of Pennsylvania to the Rouse of Representa
tives to the present Congress This proclamation
is presented by Mr. Lehman as his credentials.
John lid Butler, on the other hand, claimed
that the official returns made out by the board of
election judges, under act of Assembly, showed he
was elected Representative in the First district.
This return he relied upon as evidence imilicient
for the Clerk to place his name upon the roll.
In this (mallet the question atone which of these
claimants should be platted by the 'dark upon the
roll, and be called in the organization of the
Rouse, or whether the names of both should be
omitted until after the organization. The Colima
tutiori of the United States provides that the time,
place, and manner of holding eleetiongfor Repre
sentatives shall be presoribed in each State by the
Legislature thereof; but Cougrese may at any
time, by law, make or alter such regulations. (Art.
1., sec 4.) The fifth section of the Brat article
provides that each Roane shall be the }edge of the
election, returns, and qualifications of its own
member!. The plain words of the Constitution, as
lion' as' the uniform notion •of the Rouse ever
stboe the organisation of the Government,
show that it is the exolnelve province of the
House to decide the right to contacted sesta up
on Its floor. The clerk is but a ministerial olleefr
having no right thinvestigate or decide ; but, in
asmuch as there must be some evidence Or rule to
guide him for the purpose of organization, the
election law of Pennsylvania has conferred upon
the Governor of that State authority to decide, by
prooltms'ion, the persons returned..aseleoted in
their respective districts. This official declaration
is in the nature of a primary adjudication upon
the fact of election, whioh oan.only be ratified or
reversed by thy Rouse. The clerk is therefor*
bound to leek at the law of the State; and where
the olaimant presents the credeotlal prescribed by
•ihet laW it'miset be received as the only authentic:
evidence. The Governor's proclamation re made
the prescribed credential to which the clerk meet,
look to making out the roll of members; but he
has no power to consider anything contradictory
or impeaching that credential.
The Governor's official deeleratimi guides the
clerk in respect to the uncontested seats, and is
his general authority for placing the claimant's
names upon the roll; and if, where there is a eon
teat, he should go beyond the Governor's proofs
mation, and look at the returns to see whether the
enumerated persons, were. duly 'elected, he would
be osurpir.g the ionotion of the Rouse, and as
suming to ;edge what is only within its jurisdic
tion. So the present ease, Mr. Lehman presents
rteflitely the same evidenoe of his right to the scat
fr the First district of Pennsylvania, exhibited by
- 9
a 1 1
the other Representatives from Mat State.
The clerk has no power to dielinguish between
the persons declared in the awe proclamation to
be eleoted, bat meet give the proclamation equal
credit as to all who are enumerated as members.
At the organization of the Gomm of Represen
tatives of the Twenty slitts,Congress, in December,
1839, five seats (fop Fite State of New Jersey were
contested ; and dm clerk, without entering the
names of eiti.er upon the roll, submitted to the
Haase triether,lo should pass over their names
ttntil the pall of 'the balance of the roll was com
pleted. After a protraoted and exciting contest,
Ifpnee resolved : first, to call the names of
geptieroeo whose right to seats was not disputed
or contested ; second, that after the names of such
membere were called, and before a Speaker was
/sleeted, they should, provided there be a quorum
of snob present, then bear and judge of the eleo
tion, returns, and qualifteations of the claimants,
Messrs. Ingersoll and Naylor excepted, to the
seats contested upon the tiger. The claimants
holding the Governor's certificate were excluded
from voting in the organization; but, after inves
tigation and report by a committee, the seats were
awarded to their contestants.
Bat the proceedings of the clerk and by the
House In the New Jersey case were at the time
regarded as a departure from previous usage and
puede., and very mulch influenced by special olr
onmetances of a political nature then existing. The
constitutionaPdaty of the clerk to oall those whose
right is attested by the ofilpial evidence of the Go
vernor's oerti fi oate.was earnestly insisted upon by
some of the. wisest and.most distinguished states
men of that day, among whom were the venera/de
John quinoy Adams and two of the ablest jurists
of tinneylvanta—John bergeant and Richard. aid
dle_; and the majority of the House, by its own
kotion at the same time in another ease, deter
mined in favor of the puma facie right furnished
by the proclamation of the Governor ot Peansylva-
Ida Mr. Lehman is offietally declared by the Go
vernor as legally elected in the First Congreszional
distriot, and is enumerated with all the other.mem
hers claiming seats from that State. The clerk
has no more right to exclude his name- from the
roll, on the ground of error or mistake by Govern
or Packer, or that his deolaration in oontradioted
by the return of the board, than. he would have to
emotede every other person named in the Govern
or's proclamation. The. exeroloe of power in any
ease would imply tbeitigist to leave out the whole
Pennsylvania delegation, and exclude that State
from represontation in the organization of. the
House, 'and deprive a sovereign .State of its right
Ao - say through its constituted authorities who
should be its Representative upon the floor of this
House.
It For these reasons I have platted the name of
William E. Lehman upon the roll of the Howe,
along with the other members designated by the
Governor's proclamation, as the person seleoted to
repro vent the First district, of the State of Penn
iman's, in the House of Representatves of the
United States.
Alter the reading of these reasons and con
siderable debate, the proßosition of Mr.
STEVENS, to strike. out, Mr. LIIIIL&N'll name
and substitute that of Mr. BUTLER, was de
feated by a . vote 0f.98 to 48, and Mr. lanotss.

Our National Finances.
The Secretary of the Treasury has given us
a very clear statement of what the country will
be compelled to pay to crush this insurrection.
Ile estimates that it will be necessary to raise
in this current fiscal year about three hundred
and twenty millions of dollars. This great finan
cial burden he proposes to apportion on the
country in various ways. One fourth he thinks
should be raised by taxation and three fourths
by loans. In other words, the country will be
ex pected to pay one fourth of the cost of crush
ing rebellion in cash—the remainder upon easy
loans and at an advantageous rate of interest.
The most delicate part of the legislative
duty of the present Congress will be the regu
lation of the ways and means of taxation; in
the first place, to make ,these effective and
certain; in the second, to distribute the bur
dens so that they will fall lightly upon the
weak and heavily upon the strong. The peo
ple of all conntries have a general antipathy
to taxation, and especially when the articles
taxed are those we use most largely in do
mestic consumption. The Secretary proposes
that the taxes shall be raised in the following
manner 1. By the imposition of a duty upon
sugar, molasses, coffee, and tea. 2. An in
come, or rather an ad valorem property tax,
upon the people of the State. 3. A. mode
rate tax on stills and distilled liquor, on ale
and beer, on tobaceo, on banknotes, en
spring carriages, on silver ware and jew
elry, and legacies. In suggesting these
means of taxation, the Secretary expresses
the wish that they be made to "bear mainly
upon articles of luxury, and thus diminish,
to a certain extent, the burdeno imposed by
duties on imports, upon the classes of the
people least able to bear them."
' The imposition of a duty upon sugar, tea,
and coffee will bo more generally felt than
any of the methods suggested by the Secre.
tary. It is one of 'the blessings of our Go
vernment that these necessary luxuries of life
the poorer classes aro enabled to enjoy at a
very small price. Any tax upon them.will be
as generally felt as a tax upon corn, or a tax
upon salt. The first effect of all taxes is to
produce economy and retrenchment among
those who have to pay them. When tea
advances fifteen and twenty cents per
pound, the laboring man will dispense
with it at one of his daily meals, or educate
the children to prefer milk and water. There
will be less sugar in the pastry, and the coffee
will be more economically distilled. The poor
man who uses three pounds a week under the
present system will make two do under the
system that is to come, and that which is now
almost as necessary as breail will bo looked
upon as the Sunday dinner and its log of
mutton, the plum pudding at Christmas, or the
turkey at Thanksgiving.
The necessary effect of this tax will bo to
lessen the demand at home. By contracting
the market, it will also compel foreign pro
dacera to lower the price of their staples.
The laws of supply and demand make it ne
cessary for the producer to suit the interests
and the wishes of the consumer. The laws of
trade and tariffs, are similar to the laws of na
ture. A short orop of coffee in Brazil or tea in
China affects the market in the United States,
and when the planter finds his coffee giving a
poor average yield to the acre, he expects a
part of his losses to fall upon the coffee-drinker
in Pennsylvania and Yorkshire. When any
law of commerce fends to decrease the de
mand, the producer will find it necessary to
adapt his supply to the diminished demand.
It the demand is for a million pounds of coffee
this year, ho will supply it at as large a price
as he can obtain. If, however, it should be
bat eight hundred thousand in the next year,
he will be glad to dispose of his surplus at as
large a discount as the necessities of agricul
ture and the wishes of the consumer will per
mit. The effect of this tax, therefore, will be
felt, not only among our own people at home,
but among the producers and exporters abroad.
A direct tax upon real estate, or a general
tax upon personal property, will be less op
pressive than the imposition of a duty upon
tea, coffee, and sugar. A tax of this nature
is general in its operation, and is no more felt
by the artisan in his homestead than by the
millionaire in his mansion. In this connection
the Secretary makes a suggestion which de
'
"serves to be favorably considered by Congress,
and that is, that in the imposition of a direct
tax upon real estate, "very small properties
maybe properly and advantageously excluded."
The third method of taxation suggested by
the Secretary seems to be surrounded by
some difficulties. A tax on tobacco, distilled
liquors, ale and beer, is recommended. A
tax of the nature of an excise is very trouble
some to collect, and in order that it may be
properly raised, it is necessary to have an ex
tensive and very complicated machinery.
The establishment of an excise system in
Anierica would be very unpopular, nor do we
see how it can be at all practicable. This
method of taxation must of necessity be tern
poraryin its nature, and, while it would be ac
cepted as away measure, could not very'safely
be continued in a time of peace. The effect
of this tax will be felt also by the poorer
classes more extensively than by those more
favored in fortune. Tobacco is a luxury,
but custom has made It a necessity to thou
sands, who would rather dispense with their
tea, their coffee, and, it possible, with their
bread, than forego the soothing properties of
.tho narcotic weed. Any tax on liquors should
discriminate in favor of malt liquors, such as
ale and beer. 'This last beverage is becoming
wonderfully popular among miir people. Then
'sands who cannot endure the powerful bran
dies, gin, and whisky, which come from the
still, and who cannot afford the generous wines
of Champagne, Madeira, or even our own
Ohio, find in ale, porter, and beer a grateful,
stimulating, and harmless beverage. So long
as these malt effusions are sold at the cheap
rate which now prevails, it will bo better for
the cause of morality and temperance. We
commend this subject to the careful conside
ration of Congress.
On the supposition that these means of taxa
tion will yield eighty millions of dollars, the
Secretary proposes that the two hundred and
forty millions additionallfrequired shall be
raised by a loan. Loans heretofore have been
requested in such a manner that it was im
possible for the masses of the people, to con
tribute their funds. Speculators and bankers;
stock[ jobbers, and men of large capital, have
allo r loag monopolized the monetary arrange
ments of the Government. , The arbitrary few
who control the money market have very
raroiy any sympathy with the Government
which receives their favors. Their interest is
a' purely financial and selfish one, and they
would have no hesitation in controlling a
Government in their power against the in
terests of the governed if the rate per cent.
or the stock market would be affected thereby.
The Secretary has no intention of being ruled
by the financial tyrants of Third street or Wall
street, and he accordingly recommends that
these loans be thrown open to the great body
of the people, and that subscriptions be
opened for a national loan of one hundred
millions of dollars, to be issued in the lorm
of treasury notes'orbillsrandbeitiritiyeaili
interest of seven and three-terithiper contain;
to be paid half yearly, and redeemable at the
pleasure of the United Statds.
We think this proposition of the Secretary
a wise one. The establishment of a national
debt, in which the people are the creditors,
Rill tend to solidify and strengthen the Go
vernment. When a people are financially in
terested in the peace and permanence of • a
Government,- they will make loyal citizens,
and feel a greater solicitude in its prosperity.
The rate of interest suggested by the Secre
tary is extremely advantageous, as an invest
ment. A national debt, under the control of
a legislature, brings that legislature into sym
pathy with the people who hold the credit,
acting as an efficient chock upon any execu
tive power, and preventing anything like a
usurpation of arbitrary authority, or injustice
to the people. We believe a national debt
has given England its strength, and we have no
fear of its having a contrary effect in America.
The details of the Secretary's reyort are
already before our readers. His recogimenda
tion that the property of those in arms against
the Government be confiscated deserves to be
maturely considered by Congress. The de
velopments of this rebellion will show more
clearly the necessity or justice of this mea
sure; bat to act upon it now would, we think,
be premature. Ills suggestion in relation to
the retrenchment of the Government expenses
might very properly be carried into effect.
There is room still for a great retrenchment
in the management of affairs, and now; when
life and treasure are being so abundantly
poured out to maintain the Government, its
officers should exercise the most rigid and
exact economy.
WASHINGTON CORRDROADENC E.
Letter from Occasional.
[Correspondenc, of The Prese.l
WABIIINGRON, July 7, 1861.
Indications foreshadow a steady determination
on the part of both Rouses to vote all the men and
money asked for by the President, and recom
mended by hie oonetitutional advisers. When that
portion of the message was read whioh referred to
the number of additional troops, and the largo
amount of money necersary to carry on and con
olude the war in favor of the Government, it was
received with an irrepressible burst of applause.
Great care must be taken in order to raise this
large addition to the army and the public, treasury .
The people are as ready to contribute of their pe
cuniary moans as they have shown themselves to
be in sending forward volunteers ; bat if faotions
are permitted in Congress, these will be followed
by factions in the country.
It should not be forgotten that capital to never
so timid as in snob a state of affairs as that in
whioh we live, nor should the foot be neglected
that Pennsylvania bas already drawn from the
private eoffere of her pooplequite three and a half
millions of dollars, more in proportion to the popu:
lotion and wealth than any other State. Ohio,
New l'orar,, New Jersey, Masaaohusetts, Rhode
Island, and the Western loyal States, have acted
with unexampled generosity under the same
influence'.
It is from these mimes that the Federal Go
vernment must draw the material to maintain the
army and to oonduot its own operations.
Foreign capitalists will undoubtedly withhold
investments in American securities at the present
time. The South, covered . with bankruptcy and
debt, repudiation and dishonor, her porta blockst
ded and her cotton 'piled up upon her levees and
wharves, can hardly maintain her army, and is
compelled to conduct her mockery of a Govern
mind under the most distressing circumstances,
so that we must depend for the subsistence and
support upon what we can secure from our own
loyal people. I repeat, that too mush prudent
statesmanship cannot be manifested at this time,
in view of this enormous amount of money re
quired, and the consequent extraordinary increase
in the burdens of the people, especially in the evi
dent falling off of the ordinary public' revennee.
Hence I hail every sign of good feeling in favor of
thecae's. of the country with undfesembled joy. At
no period of our experience nes a magnanimous for
getfulness of personal pion§ and a postponement of
party prejudices been so essential. If the Republi
cans allow themselves to be quoted against their
own Administration, any number of voluntary and
vigilant adversaries will re-eoho their assaults,
and hasten to widen the breach. The Democratic
party in the free States, so largely and loyally de
voted to the Union, is, with a few exceptions, still
controlled by the Breokinridge organization, and
the leaders who represent this organization are
only waiting the moment to, take advantage of di
visions among tho friends of the Government, so as
to reassert a permanent hold upon the confidence
of the masses they have repeatedly betrayed-
Mr. Vice President Breokinridge, who sat in the
House of Representatives during ; the delivery of
tie customary address by Mr. Spea.ker. Grow, be
fore taking the ohair, beard with apperent•in,
difference the mild and spontaneous plaudits of
the Representatives and the people in the gal
leries, when s he came to that • part in which
he echoed the popular wish in regard to a
vigorous prosecution of the war. . The hopes of
this defeated Presidential aspirant can never be
gratified, unless the sentiment thus hailed is di
vided and broken down. If we oan consolidate
parties in the adhering States around Mr. Lincoln's
policy, all the money that will be voted by Con:
grins will be oontributed by the people. The war
will be concluded before the next fourth of July,
and the authority of the Government perpetuated
during many generations. There never has been a
nation, from the beginning of civilization, clothed
in the panoply of a better cause than that whioh
ought to strengthen our own, and yet no organized
State hag been all the time in deeper peril, or has
been more beset . by crafty and designing men.
A period like the present invites the patriot to a
hearty support of the Government, inspires him to
magnanimity, and teaches him the value of com
plete disinterestedness, but—and herein lies the
peril in our pathway—the same consideration that
awakens the patriot to his duty arouses the malig
nant to the assertion of his own base attributes. It
le pleaded that criticism restate from the free °bar
ter offered to inquiry in a country like this, end
therefore the men who desire to break down our
Republic will shield themselves under their pre
rogative of speaking and printing. You will per
ceive, then, that notwithstanding the strength of
the great movement to which all Amerioan hearts
are pledged, how easy_ it le for our enemies to
strike at and wound our country's cause.
The War Ministers of the present Adnalnietra
tion, Ohmeron, Welles, and Ohre—the latter sup
plying information as to the sinews of war, in
order that the two former may suooesafully ad
minister theit, greet .
. Dopertments—have many
delicate and importa nt duties to discharge. Their
three several reports furnish the best picture of
the condition of our armies, and of our probabie
financial future. They are written with consum
mate olearness, and exhibit the amazing re
sources of our country-
The Post Office Department is comparatively
idle. I passed, a few days ago, through the
massive marble edifice in 'which the machinery
of that Department is conducted, and I found no
crowd, such as besieged the War, the Navy; and
the Treasury buildings. The same remark is true
as to the Department of the Interior. The Score
try of State, Mr. Seward. taken constant interest
in the operations of the army, and has given a
great impetus to them by the manner in which he
antioipated and defeated the machinations of the
conspirators in foreign countries. Re visits the
camps every afternoon, and has never displayed
more vigor and industry at any former stage of
his career. It remains to be seen bow far the
party leaders in Congress will respond to the ef
forts of a patriotic President and a united Cabiset.
If time is wasted. in lengthy debate, and the
Housed are disturbed by the delusive theories of
Mr.' Breokinrldge and his followers, the session
may ho pro traoted for weeks. There is, in fact,
but ono question to be disposed of—Shall the re
bellion be put down, and the loyal men in the
slave States protected? 0 nesstortsn.
Melds! Gorreirooqdonoo of The ireead
WASHING TON, JIAly 7, 1561
When I concluded my letter, written at the desk
of the reporters, in the Rouge of Representatives,
on Thursday afternoon, I left Mr. Grow, the
newly-elected Speaker, making a speech on his in•
auguration. A good, strong'speech - it was, and
well delivered—a trifle too formal, perhaps—as if
it had been carefully committed to memory. Some
parte were greatly applauded, but the orator ,
scarcely displayed tact or taste in winding up,
with two lines from " The Star-Spangled Banner,'.'
to cap his peroration. There really ought to be
an act of Congress making it punishable with im
prisonment •and silence, to use hackneyed quota
tions.
" Previous to the swearing-in of the members,
which is done by the Speaker, Mr. Thaddeus Ste
ions drew the attention of the House to the fact
that Mr. John M. Butler denied that Mr. W. E.
Lehman (both of Philadelphia) was duly elected to
represent the First Congressional district of Penn
sylvania, and suggested that until all the
members had been- awarn-in, gentlemen who wore
objeoted to should not be sworn.
This called up Mr. Lehman, who declared that
be claimed his seat on the same evidence and the
same certificate which admitted Mr. Stevens
himself and every other Pennsylvania member,
namely—and there need be no higher authority—
the proclamation of. the Governor of his State.
Mr.
Lehman then read that portion of. 3overnor
Packer's proclamation, after the fall election of
1880, in which the names of the newly-elected
members were declared, among which names were
those of Mr. Stevens himself and of Mr. Lehman.
A desultory conversation bore followed, in
which was mooted the point of alleged fraud at
the election of Mr. Lehman, and that gentleman
said that his election being contested by Mr. But
ler, the only thing to be done, to make the-record
straight, would be to swear himself in, and let Mr.
-Butler -proceed; in the usual way, to - assert whai
ever right be might claim to have. To do-other
wise would be to negative the proolaniation of 'the
Governor, and change his own status. Mr. Ste
vens insisted that there was no prienti facie of Mr.
Lehman'a election.
Lehinan then called, on the Clerk of the
House (Colonel Forney) to give the reasons on
which he placed his (Mr. L.'s) name on the roll of
members, and not Mr. Butler's. The reasons were
read, after which .
Mr. Stevens said that, on the law ease, the certi
ficate to the member, and not the Governor's Pro
olamation, gave the seat. Vdtierrior Packer's Pro
clamation must have been a mistake, —it was only
charitable to suppose FO. His prop osal was that
Mr. Butler should be sworn in,.with,liberty to Mr.
Lehman to contest hie right to alt, within a certain
time.
Mr. Lehman oontended that this would be mani
festly unjust, and would alter his position and
status, and establish a bad precedent. Be wanted
fair play and a fair investigation, and the course
proposed would deprive him of both.
The remit was, Mr. Stevens' proposal was voted
down, and Mr. Lehman was sworn in. Assuredly,

General Patterson to be Reinforced
Colonel LAMON, of Virginia, reached Washington
this afternoon 6 a 'pedal train, and drove imme
diately to the President's' house.. SubseqUently he
had an Interview with the military authorities-
He came direct from Hainetrigle and Martinsburg.
There seems to be no doubt that General Jointsox
has been reinforced, which has induced the „Go

lmnn.
Extravagant reports are prevalent here of a great
battle between JOHNSON'S and PATTNRSON'S

Rumored Defeat of General Patterson.
Late yesteiday afternoon and during the eve!
Ding a rumor wag current that General PATTER.
son had been defeated in an engagement with
General JOHNSON. It could be traoed to no defi
nite source, and was generally discredited. To
day, at 12 o'olook, no intelligence from General
PATTBROOw to that effeot bad been received at the
War Department, and - the rumor was considered to
be altogether without foundation.
General Carannow returned yesterday from a

Gen. James' New Projectile..
The flying artillery of the Second Regiment of
Rhode Island have been organised only about a
month, and are armed with Gen. JA-10319' rifled
cannon. In presence of •Gov. Srmiatris, and pro
minent military officers, senators,. and citizens,
yesterday afternoon, eighteen shells, were fired on
Monument Square, -in fifty•two amends after the
ordei' to load was given—the guns being all aimed
so as to concentrate. the fire on the river upon a
very mull Surface. The shells exploded when
they struck the. water, and sent the fragments
about in all direction; showing a dreadfully de
al:native power, If used against bodies of men ad-
Talking upon the position. After repeating the
exhibition of firing rapidly, the guns were trained
to fire down the river, and were set at higher ele
vationa than could be given when firing aoroaa the
river. At tan degrees elevation shot were eus
tained' In' the 'air 'sixteen 'seconds, .and thrown
13,500 feet, or about , two miles and two-thirds. At
seventeen. degrees • elevation the shot were sus
tained twenty-five seconds, and were sent three
miles and a half; and at nineteen degrees eleva
tion the time was thirty-five secondi, and the -dis
tance over four miles. -
The guns used were the ordinary United States
bronze 6-ponnder field pieces, so far as the exterior
is concerned. • They are bored a trifle larger in
side than the 6-pounder, and rifled according to,
General Zunis'. plan. The projectiles weigh
thirteen end 'a half pounds'when solid, and twelve
pounds when made as shells. In addition to the
greater range and acouracy which'resnit from this
construction, another remarkable effect is pro.
duoed, which is the greater ease to the gun, net.'
withstanding the increased weight of projectile.
This effect is illustrated by the fact , that a charge
of one and a half pounds of powder behind a 6-pound
round shot, repeated three times, will always
until or enlarge one of these guns so that its exz.
ternal shape is visibly altered, and two pounds of
powder, with tha same ball, will destroy the gun
entirely; whereas, with the James plan of rifling
and projectile, projectiles weighing foirteen pounds
have been fired fifty times out of the same game
rifled, with a charge of • two pounds of powdei
without producing any ohange whatever in the:
gun. In Ohio one of these guns was fired with- two
and a half pounds of- ride posider - inda fourteen
pound shot without_producing any injury tOTthe
gun, although the shot was sent so far that no trace
of it was ever found.
The United States Government has bad its three
nap batteries rifled by General James, and in
havinglts old ones rifled in the same way. The
States of Ohio, Connecticut, Indiana, Rhode Island,
and Maseschusette, also are- provided with'titeile
formidable guns, while other States are arranging
to have their old batteries rifled and provided with
General James' projectiles.
