Congressional Debate.
A mobnixg contemporary very justly
commends the decorum observed la a re
cent alicuBsion la tbe Senate between Mr.
Suebman, of Ohio, and Mr. Fessbsdhn, of
Maine. But there Is something else needed
besides good temper and courtesy, and that is
proper crder in debate. At present all the
rales that ought to govern the discussion of
a well-regulated deliberative body are almost
entirely disregarded. The real subject before
either House of Congress is rarely considered.
The member who has the floor may ramble off
from the matter In hand In the most discur
sive manner, and if he should be required to
speak to the question, he plead the liberty
that has been accorded to others to talk about
anything and everything, and is sustained in
that claim.
Now, we submit that this want of any ap
propriate method in debate at Washington is
very reprehensible. It 1? unworthy of the
hichest legislative assemblage la the country,
which should be exemplary in every particu
lar of approved parliamentary etiquette and
system. Under the license of speech bow
allowed the public interests seilously suffer.
The sessions of Congress are wasted la idle,
and, sometimes, violent and acrimonious
harangues, to no good purpose whatever
Measures of the greatest moment to the wel
fare of the nation are thrust aside day alter
day and week after week, to give gentlemen
an oppoitunlty of delivering speeches for
political effect at home, thousand's of copies
of which are afterwards printed and circu
lated through the malls at a heavy cost to the
Post Office Department.
Everybody who reads the newspapers must
be aware that much of the time of the pre
sent Consress has been taken up with windy
declamations about propositions upon which
all that need be said, or can be said, has
already been said by a hundred members
over and over again, while questions of vital
concern to the commerce, the finances, and
the Industry of the nation, demanding imme
diate consideration, are neglected. In this
manner much of the really practical and
most important business of each session is
crowded into its few closing days, when it is
either hurried through without suitable de
liberation, or postponed altogether. It was
publicly stated only a short time ago, that
about sixty odd members of Congress had
prepared speeches oa the subject of "recoa
Etiuctlon," and that the order of delivery had
been airanged. Yet it is hard to see what
profit the country is to derive from so much
verbosity.
But besides neglect of those interests which
should be promptly attended to, the people
are made to pay an enormous sum of money
for legislative service that is not rendered.
In addition to the salaries of Representatives,
and clerks, and messengers, and reporters, and
the whole host of Congressional stipendiaries,
there are the immense outlays for printing
cart-loads of documents, for stationery, for
books, and the Innumerable other matters that
make up the expense account of each Con
gressional session. For all this large aggre
gate of public money annually drawn from
the Treasury, the people get very little, com
paratively, in return.
This is a serious and a growing evil, that
ought to be corrected. The first step towards
a reform is a well-ordered and firmly enforced
system of debate. Whatever may be for the
time the specific question actually before
either House, each speaker should be rigor
ously confined to it, and no deviation allowed
on any pretense. Under such a rule much
more business might be accomplished. Mat
ters of pressing importance, when once enti
tled to the attention of either branch of Con
gress to the exclusion for the time of other
topics, would stand a better chance of being
duly considered and disposed of; and finally,
If each session should not be shortened and
made less expensive, there would at any rate
be more substantial service rendered. ;
Cannot, therefore, some reform in this mat
ter be effected, and will not some member or
members of Congress take the Initiative In
bringing it about? j
HoH. TTillabd Saulbbuby, f Delaware,
has an unenviable record, and Its blemishes
will probably not be removed by such a re
mark as the Associated Press attributes to
. klra yesterday. In reply to the question
whether he believed that the Beaate ought
to have received as members persons elected
by the Bebel Legislature ot a Southern (State,
during tbe progress of the Rebellion, be
fald: -"That never having rec ignlzed the
right of a State to go out of the Union, and
asfume Independent relations in reference to
the Government, a State would not, la hts
opinion, be entitled to representation in Con
gre s while at war against the Government,
but when peace came she was entitled to re
presentation." This sentence, although probably the vaguest
ever uttered in the halls of the Capitol,
seems to us to mean that none of the Southern
Stales were ever in a state of war, and that
consequently it would have been the duty of
the Senate to receive any persons elected by
a Southern commonwealth during the last
four years. When he made such a reply
Mr. Saui.sbuby spoke for the Democratic
party, and when we find men who frankly
admit that, during a stat3 ol war, tbe Rebels
In arms were entitled to representation in
tho Congress of that Government against
wh'ch they were buttling, there need be no
turpi iee at the s?ght presented to-day of
Senators favoring tbe admission of traitor)
who have refused to utter a word of repent
ance, to take a loyal oath, or confess even by
one single action that they regret their
course, and acknowledge it a crime against
the law. . ,
A me lean Anti-Incrnstator.
Among the recent inventions introduced to
the public is tho American Antl Incrustacor, a
practical and reliable apparatus for rediovint
scale from the interior of steam-boilers, and
preventing its formation. Numerous tests ha iq
already been made in thlt city and elseirhre,
and all with the same surprising results. In
every lnstanoe where the Antl-Incrustator has
been applied It has bem successful in reinoviti?
the scale, no matter whether the scale formed
was tbe thirty-second part ot an inch or an inch
and more in thickness.
Borne piece of this formation of the earthy
ealt, half an inch thick, have been shown to us,
which the old-fashioned n.ethod of boiler cleaning;
by pick and icraper, failed to remove, which has
been thoroughly and effectively taken from the
interior of boilers by this simple instrument,
after being in use a few weeks or month, and
that, tco, without producing the least injury to
the boiler. It does away with the expensive
app. lances ot scale powders, molasses, tobacco,
and otter matters so deleteiious to boilers, and
requires no stoppage of mills, manufactories, or
steamboats to cleanse them, Ihe scale become
loose through the action of the Antl-Incrustator,
and falls to the bottom of the boiler, from whica
it is easily blown or taken out.
In hard limestone regions, where boilers form
scale rapidly, this wonderful arrangement has
entirely prevented any of this dangerous iuorus.
taliou to gathor; and through Its agency clean
boilers can at all timps be eeourert, and a large
saving effected in the fuel consumed. In Phila
delphia, and, indeed, the whole country, where
so many thousands of steam boilers are used,
the Anti-Incrustalr is an institution of very
great value, as oy its introduction, besides the
saving in the expensive item of lusl, boilers are
much liss liable to explosion; and In this par
ticular alone its merits are of so momentous a
character that every person running a steam
engine should have one placed in each boiler.
The President of the Company, John C. Cres.
son, Esq., hai thoroughly investigated this mat
ter, and from his well-koown standing in the
self l title world, and that of Messrs. John Edgar
Tuomson, Daniel II. Rock hill, James Harper,
William G. Moorhead,. William H. Gatzmer, and
H. G. Leisenrln.i, the gentlemen associated with
him iu the Board of Directors, who have given
the subject much attention, the public will at
once have confidence in the Anti-Incrnstator,
and use it.
The testimonials ia Its behalf are all that
eould be desired. Messrs. Chase, Bharpe &
Thomson say they regard it as ot the "utmost
importance, because it thoroughly removes the
scale and prevents new scale from forming," it
saves fuel, and "adds to the safety of life and
limb" from its non-explosive qualities. Messrs.
J. & S. Lees, of Conshohocken, thought so much
of its working in their old boilers that they have
had it placed in their new ones. Captain Alex
ander H. Shultze recommends it for all seagoing
steaauhip boilers, and says that his experience
leads him to the conviction that it "is the only
invention thus far thnt will clean boilers of scale
and prevent its formation." Messrs. Harris 4
Btotesbury, Sugar Refiners, state that : "clean
boilers can be guaranteed at all times
and under all circumstances." Messrs. 8harp
& Hawkins say it "is a great saving of fuel, as
well as a great protection to the boilers."
Messrs. Bolton, Dykenaan & Co.'s testimony is
that "it has done its werk in the most admira
ble nianner, , and they are glad to say that
through its use their bollsrs are free from scale."
Before its introduction these gentlemen used
various methods to clean their boilers, but all
proved succesful. Messrs. William B.
Thorpes A Co. "consider the Anti-Incrnstator as
of very great value, and would not consent to
its removal from their boilers on any account.'
Mr. Howell Evans, besides specifying its import
ance in removing the scale, says "it saves fuel,
and believe it to be a great safeguard against
explosions. "
For the testimonials in detail we refer our
readers to the advertisement of the Company in
another column. .
Tnn results of some of the earlier silver ruining
companies are such as to warrrnt the belief that
silver mining is to be a great and profitable busi
ness, stiver Dumon "Dricks" are Deginnin to
como forward as a basis of dividends, and all
who would participate in these profits should go
into some good company. The North American
Mining Company offers an excellent opportunity
to secure a very desirable interest in this busi
ness. This company is not a stock speculating
company, bnt is started for legitimate mining-,
and owns In tee simple some very valuable
mines, it nas oraerea some or its machinery,
and is expected to be In full operation early the
coming summer. The mine are now being
opened and worked with vigor, and rich ore is
being taken out. The office la No. 327 Walnut

AME1UO AN
ANTI-INCKUSTATOli.
A Practical and Reliable Apparatus
FOB
IU moving Scale from Rollers,
AND
PREVENTING ITS FORMATION.
The vast increase of steam power throughout the
world, and i's varied and multiplied apDlxatioas to
all tbe pursuits of civilized life, have, of necs.sitr,
made the question, "Uow can the use ot so im
portant and Indispensable an ayont as atoam bo ren
dered safer and more economical?" one of vital
Importance. That there are moat sarious difficult'.
attending its use, and that these well-known
difficulties add greatly to the expense, as
well as to the danger to be apprehended,
few persons will deny who have bad
any experience in tbe use ot the steam boiler. It is
to one of the most dangerous, as well as the most ex
pensive, of these we:I known difficulties that your
attention is now invited, viz : tho formation of the
deposit iu steam bol org knows to engineers as
"scale"' or "incrustation," formed out of the earthy
salts i assed into the boiler with tbe water used in
the generation of steam. It will bo readily acknow
ledged that one of the most sortous diflicult.es attend
ing tho use of tbe steam engine, especially in sea
going steamers, and in limestone regions, arises from
the rapid destruction of tbe boiler, caused by the
adhesion of this sculo, or Incrastat.on, to tue tubes,
flues, and, in faot, to tbe whole inner suriace ot the
boiier so far, at least, as that surface is brought in
Immediate contact with the waltr. -
It is well known that the calcareous deposit
formed by the prooe'S of evaporating watirinto
steam causes a stony incrustation to attach Itself
firmly to the inteiior surface of the boiler; and
when this is allowed, to continue for any length of
tine without interruption, it inoorporatss it:elf S3
firmly and so completely with tbe metal of the
boiler, at to become a part ot the boiler it tell with
this d sadvantage, however, that it is a very Imper
fect conduo or of hear. Tae crust thus lormed is
frequently lrom a quarter ot an mob to an inch or
more in thickness. Indeed, -it very frequently
chokes or fills up the tubes of marine, locomotive,
and stationary boilers: and thus the dejtruotlon of
tbe tubos, if not the whole boiler, Becomes In
evitable. Hitherto this very expensive annoyance
has caused engineers to resort, to a great
many expedients in ordor to get lid of so
destructive an agent ruch as a variety of scale pow
ders, molasses, tobacco, etc; out all tboso remedies
have eventually .roved that they are worse tban tbe
scale, tbe adbesion of which tho were intended to
prevent, as the aotion of acetic acid (inco which
most of them reso ve themseiven) on the face of the
valves and cylinder has fully proved.
The reason why a remedy fully equal to the im
portance of the demand has net hitherto been dis
covered, is believed to be, taat the subtile and most
powerful agent by which this scale or lncrustat on
may be repelled iron the iron ot the boiler, has
either been entiroiy overlooked, or at least not duly
considered.
1 he result of experiments made by the most com
petont engineers and scien:do suon, may br.ely he
summed up as follows :
"Scale, beiilg a non-conductor of beat, prevents
the heat imparted to tho metallic surface of the
boiler lrom being readily taken np by tbe water. Re
liable authorities report 1-16 of soale equal to a loss of
14 7 per cent, of heat In fuel. The plates ot a boiler
never get hotter taan the water when It is iu contact
witb them, whatever may be the outside tempera
ture, and the water never gets hotter than some 830
dig. nnder one hundred pounds pressure. I C ean
boiler-plates would thereiore last for years: bat
when coated with scale, and thus removed from
direct contact with the , water, they become so
overheated as to deteriorats in quantity and quality.
This burning out of the boilerplates is one gre it
came of repair, equal, in many instances,
to as high as twenty-five per cent., and
from ten to forty percent, in waste of fuel." But
the most important last is, that when the scale gets
thick, and the plates eoaseqaently very hot, tbe
former is liable to crack off, and bilng tbe water In
eentaet with the over-heated metal, thus causing a
sudden and violent action which frequently results
In destructive explosion and loss of life.
To prevent this formation called "scale," as wsll
as remove it when It has already been lormed, our
Anti-Incrnstator, we believe, will prove itself to be
no less effective in its ao don than it is simple in its
form. Availing ourselves of the presence of an
agency the existence of which has been lulty
proved, on tne highest scientific authority, as exist
ing, we have only to adopt means to make this
agency conservative and nseiul. t he Anil-Inorasta-tor
is placed in the ileum room of the boi.er near ike
tap, where tho steam i as dr at possible; and all
mineral atoms, instead of being attraoted to, are re
pelled lrom, the inner suriace ot the boiler, and may
be blown out by opening the snrfaoe or blow-oft
cock once or twic each day. That tne means thus
adopted are wonderfully and amply effective In the
accomplishment of tbe end so much to he desired,
tbe accompanying test'monials of those having tbe
Anli-Inoruitator in use abundantly prove.
Tfitn respect to tbe cost of making this attachment,
tho ontlay neoessary to place it on every boiler
(only one hundred dollars) will afford a profitable
investment, as the following statement of tbe ex
pense attending tbe mere opening and partial
cleaning of seven boilers will show. This statement
was given by a gentleman in Philadelphia, biintelt n
milt owner. He therefore speaks from experience)
"lie faot is, that in openfng and shutting np a set
of seven beders, for the purpose of cleaning or
sealing them properly, by piok or scraper (always
very tnjnrlons to the boiler), over tbe fire-bed alone,
the estinate will not be less than as follows:
heven hollers, at 13 $84 00
feeven gum-rings for heads , 700
tigiaeer's wages, six days, at aj 13 00
One cleansing will cost every six months... '..1103 00
"Or the eoet of the ntual cleansing in July and
January will be $308." ' '
The shove cstlmato does not, however, take into
. )
consideration the tmperrant matter of lott Urn in the
production ot the work to be done sueh as the
mill and the mill-bands standing Idle; and,
as a neoessary eoaseqaeacc, all tbe capital employed
remaining unproductive for the time being. Seitber
does it take Into consider! tion the faot, that it Is
freqnently fonnd necessary to stop. In order to c'en
boilers, at tbo most Inconvenient time name y, in
the midst of a hurry, or a hnys Mon. It will alto
be soen, and should be remembered, that tbe ex
penses above enumerated do not meat any thing like
the actnal cost of Kale in boilers, for it hat not
named or takon Into consideration the increased
eoet of fuel ncoestary to kep the steam np to a given
pr ssure after tne scale has berue to form. Neither
have ncettlmaiod one ot Hie most serious dffBea.ties
attending tho use of tbe steam engine the rapid de
struction of tbe boilers.
It Is a well-established 'act, that the average dura
tion of mar ne. and many locomotive and stationary
boilers, it bnt a very few years. Tbe general esti
mate of tbe eost of boilcrj is nearly one-bat r taat of
the whole coot of the engine, woen eren Iron boilers
are used. The rapid destiuelion of the boilers on
account of scale Is, therefore, one of the great oanses
of expense la the use ot tbe steam engiuo. Any
really effective preventive to the formation of soalo
mnst, therefore, be consideted a great acsldoratum,
and should be gladly hailed as a means of reduolng
the expenses of using so nteiul and indispensable an
agent as steam and the ktoam engine.
fcuch a preventive Is now offered to thepublioln
tho use of this Antl IncrusWtor, confidently believ
ing that the simplicity of its construction and man
agement wid only be surpassed by the effectiveness
and ceitalnty ot its operation, in not only prevent
ing, bnt thoroughly reraovinr, the tronolesome, ex
pensive, and destructive calcareous formation known
to engineers as "rcale."
Tbe annexed ata-omonts and testimonials will
tnible those who are interested in tbe nte of steam
as a mechanical motor, to comprehend more fully
tbe valuable rerults already ootained by the me oi
tbe Atiti-lncruttator.

Deer Sir: -Ince the early part of 1S8J fourot your
tntl-lncrustetlon apparatus have been In use In the
boilers ol this establishment When pined in the boilers
they were badly coated with toale in the Inside, and
since tl en the apparatus have done what never o ,uld oe
eocomp Ithed prevloasly by the oid process of pick,
hammer and airaner or by any other thing attempted.
The boilers are aa clean as when they were ucle,
and the clean I and removal ol' tho sca'e has neon
erlccted oy your Antl-Incrustatora. We know, trom
nearly ihree years' exoerlenoe, that this apparatus wl I
do al tb it I' claimed lor It, and consider its utj India
pensahle In every toller because it will rameve old
scale and prevent new lrom forming and adhering to
tbe in-lde oi boliers.
He bave eight boilers four cylinder, each twelve
feet long resting upon fourtuuu ar each ton icet long,
'he Antl-Inoiustators are In the cylinder or npper
boilers, and notwithstanding this faot, tbe lower or
tubular boliers are peneotly o ean. They were ex
amined about two months ago, and found to be iu tbe
condition stated
In the operation of your apparatus, we think the
publlo bave an airsnrement by which olean boilers ean
be guaranteed at all timet, and under all circamstinoes,
and we feel gratified that we have had the opportunity
of testing it for so long a i etlod.
We heartily recommend vour Antl-lncr istitor to all

Dear Sir : In answer to your Inquiries of this date,
we take pioature In tbut pubiloly stating that we have
your Aiit'.-lncruetator In our boiier. it was p. aced there
In the tummer of 1-6.1, to reuio.e the scale lroui the
iiuide oi tbe boiler, which averaged, at that time, from
three-elghtht io hall an inch in thlckueaj. Before its in
troduction we UBtd various methods to clear ibe boher,
whicb proved lneheeiual, and atter placing your Antl
Inorustatcr In It. we discovered. In less than thres
moutas, targe ploces of loose scale, aad the
S luces train which they had been removed,
y tbe aetlon of the instrument, were en
tirely clean. glnce then we have never used
anything In the boiler, depead'ng solely upon your appa
ratus to keep off the scale, tt has done Its work In ibe
most tdmlrabie manner, and we are glad to say that
through lu ase we are free from scale; the boiler Is clean
at all times, and a large saving Is ailected bv a decrease
In the consumption oi tuel, and a laige lnerease oi power
through the works.
We regard yonr Antl-Incrustator as of te greatest Im
portance to every mauulactmer. and lrom oar two years'
experleneeiheartliy recommend It, convinced, at we a e,
that it wlilcleaa boilers irom scale aad prevent the
scale trom lorming.
Our boiler Is a Corliss, 19 feet loug and four feet In

Dear sir: In our mills. Thirteenth and Willow streets,
we have ateam boners bultt by Corliss A Co., oi Provi
dence, Rhode Itlsnd. tor the express purpose of econo
mizing space. The arrangement consists ol seven cylin
der boliers, placed on oae end. the centre one being
about eight or nine leet longer thaa the six others, ihe
six eattide boilers are niled with two Inoh tubes.
This boiler supplies steam ier a three-buadred horse
engine and owing to the large extent ol surface exposed
to the action of the fire It lonaed scale very rapidly,
and at there was no possibility ot getting at the sca.e to
remove It by the use ot piek aud scraper, there was
great Sanger oi tbe boiler speedily burning out.
In September, 1864, the bolters were examined with
the view to apply your Antl-lncrustatora; but they
were lound lu such a ba condition that it was
deemed an uniulr teat to put your apparatus In tbe
boilers, and we were disappointed iu not havuig
them introduced. The week following the boilers
w ere stopped ior repairs, and another examination ma le
of their condition On Benday, October 3, 1864 six of
your Antl-iuorustators were placed In our bol era. At
that time tbe wbo,e Interior surface of tbe boilers was
covered with a hard lnorustatl. n or scale, varying from
one-sixteenth to oae-quarter of an Inch In thickness An
Iron ladder, oermanently fixed In tbe can re beher, ex
teedlrg fi em top to bottom, was completely coated with
this tcale, as well ss the tubes and Interior surface
alreadv mentioned.
Mncc the Antl lncruatators were spoiled ws have con
tinued to use i he same water from tne Hobuvlklll, and
ao change whatever has been made ia the treatment of
lbe boilers.
1 he result has beea that npon opening the boilers
several times lor extmlnatioo (up to last summer),
we bave, upon each occasion removed bnslio s of
loots sea e, deiaebed trout the sides aad top by the nse
of jour apparatus, thus obviating satire. y the use of
'pick, scraper, or any otber tool. The boilers are now
entirely clean, aad the seals is wholly remeveJ from the
Iron ladder.
We consider vour Anti-Inerus stor at of very great
value, and would aot ooasent to its remoytl from oar
boll jrs on any account. We are fully satUQeC with what
ft bat already avooms Ished, and believe it whl Brove
great tavlug to our boilers, besides reducing saa erla.ly

the two to keep four hollera clean In tbtt ht'i limestone
water, which we be. love trn-y weald do. but at the tame
time prefer having one Inutrnment in each bolter, owing
to the imall oilglnal expense compared with the.r grout
