Thepeople have at last had a ohonoe of speaking
for themselves, without the intervention of office

result isone of.the"most astonishing overthrows of
the Administration ever, known, in the politios of
the country. Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana
have elected almost solid anti-Lwompton delega

in the State, after all, strange as it may appear to
the Leoemptonite Congressmen, who, to gratify
the rulers at the Federal Capital, shamefully be
trayed them last win«er.
- The Democratic tioliot* has -been partially sac

sovereignty platform.

without reference to the infamous policy to
which, for the time being, it had been com
mitted by 'sinister. influences controlled by
official power and patronage, who, in their
hearts, acknowledge the justice of the deci
sion .of tho people, and rejoice at it. The
truth is, that a Pennsylvania approver and en
dorser of Mr. Buchanan’s policy, who is unin
fluenced by personal or pecuniary considera
tions, and who has paid any degree of atten
tion to the political events of last year, is a
cariosity. - -There never was a party moro
completely and thoroughly Tylerlzed,than the
Administration party in this State. The won
der is, not that the Administration candidates
received so few votes, but that they received
so many. On the test questions of making a
finality of the English Bill and the persecu
tion of Judge DouonAs in Illinois, there are
absolutely no persons at all in our State agree
ing with the Administration, except those di
rectly influenced by its patronage. On thoso
issues, fairly made, tho majority in this State,
instead of being some 60,000 or 60,000, would
have more nearly approached 300,000, if the
honest sentiment of our whole population
could have been expressed,
For tho Democratic party we have nover
had, and nover can have, any but the warmest
feelings of attachment; but when it tempora
rily lost its proud and noble position as tho
champion of great and enduring principles and
Hunk into a'mere representative of official ty
ranny, it as fhlly deserved chastisement and
rebuke as the Israelites did when they forsook
tho true worship, to bow down before a
golden calf. The punishment has followed
speedily upon the offence, and it is our earnest
hope that adversity will teach wisdom, and the
whole party be warned of the folly of adhering
to the falling fortunes of a faithless Adminis
tration, and be impressed with the necessity of
sternly rebuking it. There never was an
election where the right of suffrage was moro
intelligently and effectively exorcised, ex
cept among thoso who, against their own
convictions of justice, sustained tho Adminis
tration while they felt it to be in the wrong.
Tho lesson should prove a wholesome one; for
If anything will teach men the stern necessity
of obeying tho wishes and demands of their
constituents, the sight of the eight Locompton
traitors— Landy, Phillips, Jones] Owen, and
Jones Jehu G., Dewakt, Beilly, White,
and Gillis, gibbeted by thoso whom they so
shamefully betrayed—should have that elject.
Henceforth let us hope the Bepresentatives
sent to Congress from our State will ever re
member that this noble old Commonwealth
has ttie first claim upon their affection; that
her people will punish those who betray them,
and reward those who are faithful. Nopaity
that dares to outrage her sentiments can hope
to receive her support. Hor appeals for pro
tection to tho great interests which form the
basis of her material prosperity and her do
votiQn to tho groat doctrine of Popular So
vereignty will command rcspoct, and her Be
presentntivos will not forget that jealous con
stituencies watch with ceaseless vigilance
their conduct, and will hold thorn to a strict
accountability.
The more cloaely the result is scanned, the
more overwhelming does the victory appear.
In tho First district, which Florenoe carried
in 1866 by 2,200 majority, he is now in a mi
nority of nearly 2,000—a change of 1,000
votes against him. In the Third district,
which liAnoy carried-in 1850 by 1,147 ma
jority, he is now defeated by 729. In tho
Fourth district, which Phillips carried'in
1866 by 262 majority, over both his competi
tors, he is now defeated by 2,936. In the
Fifth district, which Owen Jones carried in
1858-by nearly 2,000 majority, a majority of
over 2,000 is now thrown against him. Iu tho
Sixth district, which John Hickman carried in
1860 by a plurality of a fow hundred, ha now has
a large majority. In this district, in November,
1856, tho combined Opposition vote against Mr.
Bcohanan amounted to 1018 more than that
thrown for him. A,t the late election, both
Hiokman, anti-Lecompton Democrat, and
Bkoomall, Bepublican, have polled more
votes than Manley, the Lecompton candidate.
Lecomptonism is in a minority of about 8,000
in the district. In the Seventh district, Chat
man, Democrat, had amajority 0f2,167 in 1866.
The voto is now vory close—tliore will, proba
bly not be 100 majority either way—but it is
supposed Lonoenecker, the People,s nomi
nee, is elected over S. L. Hoberts, tho
regular Democratic notnineo. Iu the Eighth
district, Berks county, the immortal Jehu G.
Jones had 6,644 majority in 1856. He is now
beaten by Schwartz, an anti-Lecompton
Democrat, by 46 majority. In tho Eleventh
district Dewakt had in 1866 a majority of
8,318. This yoar he was opposed by Camp
bell, People’s nominee, and Cake, anti-Le
compton Democrat, and has scarcely moro
.votes than he had majority in 1866.' Hois
prhhably in a minority of about 7,000 in tho
district! In tho Twelfth district 'John G.
Montooheky, Democrat; was cioctod by a
majority of 2,894 in 1868 ; now Scranton,
Pooplo’s nominee, has a largo majority. In
the Thirteenth district, Dimmiok received in
1866, a majority of 3,566. Now there is some
doubt whether he has been re-elected, and if
he has been, his majority is but a few hun
dred. In the Fifteenth district, Allison
White had a majority of 1,111 in 1856.
How he is badly beaten—perhaps by 2,000.
In the Sixteenth district, Am. received a
majority of 2,047 in 1856. Had he been re
nominated, ho would probably bavo had a
larger majority thrown against him this year
than ho received in 1866. As it is, Mr. Fisuer,
the Democratic nominee, i 3 reported elected
by a few hundred majority. In the Seven
teenth district, Wilson Beilly had a majority
of G 74 in 1856. He is now, it is supposed, de
feated. lirtbo Eighteenth district, the Opposi
tion had] at the November election in 1866, a
mojority of 1802. This year, Henry D. Foster,
haring been nominated as an anti-Lecompton
Democrat, and the Democrats of bis district ge
nerally being on the anti-Lecompton platform,
[ has greatly reduced the Opposition majority.
In tho Twentieth district, William Mont
gomery, one of tho steadfast anti-Lecomp
ton - Democrats of the last session, had in
1866 a majority of 1,127. At this time wo
are without definite returns from his district,
but have little doubt that his majority now
will be double or treble that of 1856. In tho
Twenty-fourth district, Gillis was olected in
1856 by 683 majority. Ho is now badly beaten.
The districts wo have not enumerated wore
eanied by the Opposition in 1856, and are
carried now by their candidates by greatly in
creased majorities.
, It requires very littlo skill to estimate the
condition of public sentiment in Pennsylva
nia, with these returns before tho reader. If
the Democracy of Pennsylvania have any as
pirations for future success, they must seek
for it by planting themselves boldly and
squarely upon the Anti-Lecompton platform.
The-candidates who aro defeated, many of
whom are personally excellent men, have Mr.
Buchanan and his polisy to thank for their
overthrow. The second chapter in the bißtory
of “ tests ” has been written by tho stem hand
of an. indignant people. Let time-serving and
power-worshipping politicians be caroful how
they invoko a third!

Thoreßult of tho'olection in Pennsylvania has
been greeted in offloial oirolos in this olty pretty
much as was the handwriting upon the wall, with
its terriblo import, by the trembling Belehnsaar of
old. It has driven the iron deep into tho heartaof
those who would of themselves oreot a proorus
toan bod upon whioh to out down or stretch out
every Democrat to thoir standard. And it is
patent to all that the Administration test can
now only be known as the Administration’s fol
ly. The result, indeed, is regarded, even by
those nearest the throne, as the most astounding
revolution that has evor talcen place in politics.
The Union.) of this morning, after attempting to
eompare it to tho political revulsion of 1854, daw
dles off into its usual fanfaronade and the most
hopeless platitudes. It yet continues to indulge
in those ompty objurgations which have already
produced for its masters suoh a heavy orop of dis
asters. It has oven tho hardihood to claim that the
fosult in Pennsylvania followed an adherence to
prinoiple on the part of tho President and his Ca
binet, when tho faot is notorious that nothing
could have produced such a oataatrophe but the
desertion of prinoiple on tho pnrtef those to whom
had been entrusted the creed of tho Domooratio
party.
The Star of Monday evening looked forward to
the election of the Joneses, Owen and Oloncy,
Lindy, Floronce, Reilly, Allison White, &0., &o. ;
but It now appears that even Dlmmfok is in dan
ger, and that Glanoy himself has been gloriously
defeated, Colonel Florenoe being saved by tho
most enormous expenditure of the publio money
and the greatest amount of illogal voting.
ThegTeat faot which Blands out in this eleotion
is the immense Democratic vote whioh has boon
thrown against the Lccompton polioy of the Ad
ministration. It remains to he seon whether the
lesfon thus taught will be of any service, or
whether tho mad proscription at headquarters here
will be persevered in. Everywhere the best men
in tho State seom to have been carried down by
tho example of tho Federal Powor. At the pre
sent writing there ore doubts whether General
Foster and Mr. Pershing have not both been sac
rificed.

I am assurod, as well by others as from my own
oonviotion, that there will be an uprising of the
Demooraoy and conservative men all over the
oountry in sympathy with your grand triumph.
The ultra Southern men, who have at all times a
prudent and attentive regard for the loaves and
fishes, and are never, of oonsequenoe, desirous of
gotting upon tho wrong side of the drawbridge,
now begin to seo that their sirongth with their
own people is not, as they all along thought, with
the Kansas policy of the Administration's much 88
It is with the popular sovereignty doctrine of The
Press, and Douglas, and Hiokman, and Raskin,
and Broderiok. The indications are those beto
kening an almost entire obango of feeling in the
South, and I shall not he astonished at startling
developments against those who, they already as
sert, hava deluded them into the most iniquitous
outrages upon the cardinal dootrine of the Demo
or&tio faith, and the sheerest jostioe to the people
of the Territories. Will they all be read out of
the party far their strong lnnguage of reproooh
and denunciation? The Union and Star had
bolter pipe up.
It is funny to hear tho snrmißes here whether
Hon. Mr. Phillips will go abroad, and where?
What will Mr. Buchanan do with Jehu G. Jones?
Are there plaoes enough for tbe slain ? If not,
will plaoes he made ? It is hinted that L&ndy may
make an offer for the Govornorsbip of Kansas; but
this is cruel, for that would be entomblnghim twice.

I vu in error in statin* yesterday that Wm. n. Lud
low bad been nominated for Congress by the Democratic
Convention of the First Congressional district. The
vof? In tbe Convention Blood twelve for Soaring, end
six for Ludlow, whereupon, as ia customary, Mr Sear
ing’s nomination was mode unanimous. But the reiult
of the ballot is significant. Hr. Ludlow has for some
years been prominent in the political affairs or tho
BUte; has been Speaker of the Assembly ; delegate to
several National Democratic Conventions,} and fre
quently represents his district in our State Conventions.
From tbe commencement of the Kansas discussion, and
ev-n before It became flio topic of debate at the last
session of Congress, he boldly took the ground assumed
by Judge Douglas, and from that time has uniformly
maintained it. Hfs position on (he quoßlion was
known to every D«moorat in the First district. That
one-third of the delegates, therefore, should on the flr»t
baltot have east tfeeir votes for him, is significant of the
state of public senMment in that district.
In the Thirteenth Congressional district David L.
Seymour was yosterday nominated by the Democrat c
Convention. Ho has formerly represented the district,
and in known as one rf tbe staunch friends of Don
Daniel S. Dickinson. Ills election Is somewhat pr.-
blemetic*!. Oiin, the present member, is renominated,
and, in the present posture of affairs, has the best
prospect of success.
The morning papers will famish you with full de
tails of the result of the Congressional Conventions
held lost even'ng.
In the Fourth district Elijah F. Purdy was nomina
ted in place of John Kelly, whose orbs are sot open
the sheriffalty, worth forty or fifty thotnand per an
num, clear—some persons, of more lively Imaginative
power*, placing it as high as one hundred thousand.
In the Fifth, and Sixth, and Seventh districts, Meo’ay,
and Cochrane, And Ward, wore renominated by accla
mation. In the Eighth (Horace P. Clark’s) only one
formal ballot was takon, with the following result:
David 8. Jackson, 6; Anson F. Herrick, 3; Horaco
F. Clark, 3; ei-Juatlco Pierson, 4; Andre Froment, 4;
Gourad Swackhamer, 2 ; Garret Stryker, Jr., 2; Jas.
Gordon Bennett, 1, The Convention then adjourned,
without effecting a nomination, until Tbarsdayevenirg
next, not so ranch on„aeeount of the ballot ee on eo*
count of certain resolutions offered by Richard Dueteed,
E*q., and Alderman Bradley, designed to bring out the
▼lews of gentlemen on Lqcomptoo. Mr. Bu*tee<P| were
as follows:
Resolved, That a letter be addressed to each of the
ger»tl*men whose names hive beon placed in nomina
tion btft-re the Convention, proposing to each of them
the following questions, and soliciting their reply In
writing to each of t'lem :
1 Do yon approve of and endorse tho Kansas policy
of the AdministraVon ?
2. Do you approve of the settlement of the Kansas
question upon the basis of the English bill ?
3. Will yon. if elected, snstaln the policy of the Ad
ministration of James Buchanan ?
Mr. Bradley’a resolutions endorsed “ the great prin
ciple of self-government as enunciated in the
Nebraska bill, and an affirmed In the Cincinnati platform,
and reiterated in President Buchanan’s inaugural ad
dress, that the people of eaoh State and Territory are
to be left free to form and regulate their domestic Insti
tutions in their own way, subject only to the Oonstitu
tlon of the United States.” The series concluded with
a resolution requiring the candidate to pledge himself
to conform to this principle, or, on refusal to do so. that
the nomination would not be regarded as binding. They
were laid on the table, of course, though it is not im
probable that they will bo resurrected, and thus give
the members another opportunity of ventilating their
rhetorio and exhibiting tbelr dexterl y as political
gymnasts. Tho entertainment will bo resumed to mor
row (Thursday) eroniog
But the grand scrlmmace centres in the Third dis
trict, where the contest between Mr. Sickles and Gene
ral Walbrldge la becoming rather torrid, and to which
public attention is much directed. Regular nomlna
t’ons are potent forces in the Democratic party, and in
no quarter la party fooling stronger or party behest
more Imperative. Notwithstanding the meetings held
by the friends of General Walcridge, and the favorable
manner in which bo is spoken of by the anti-Democratio
press, the great unanimity with which Mr. Sickles was
nominated -receiving twenty-two out of twenty-Qve
Votes—certainly Indicates that, eo for aa loyalty to party
organization Is concerned, he will receivedhe Demo
cratic vote. People dislike to bolt, or place themselves
in position where the sustaining of an Independent or
irregularly nominated candidate might rise up against
them in the future. The oft-repeated political maxim
giloa strength with each successive year; “No man is
Ro strong as his party. ’ ’
At the aonual election df directors of the Erie Rail
road, held yesterday, tho old board were re-elected,
Tho number of chares represented was about 80,000—
less than ono-third the capital.

The State Senate is somewhat in doubt. The meu
borahoMfnjover are 12 Domoorats too Opposition, and
it is notunlikely that the Opposition will not bo able
to oveecorae this majority in the twelve district* where
elections were held on Tuesday. The Senate will proba
bly stand 17 Democrats to 16 Opposition.
The Houso of Representatives will undoubtedly be
strongly Opposition. Our impression Is that the House
will stand about 73 Opposition to 27 Democrats. On
joint ballot of toe two Huutes the Legislature will be
strongly Oppoe.t on

It is clearly certain that these are all defeated. In

have bad leave to stay at home. Messrs Florence find
Dlmmick are the only two re-elected, and their ma

was standing by, mounted hto box and helped draw the
man in charge o r tho officer upon the carriage, and
finallvsncceeded in resotting him from the officer, after
which he gave the reins to his horses and started up
Ohestnot street. Several other officers however, came
to the assistance of the first, and gave chase to the cab,
which they overhauled, and arrested the patties They
were taken before Alderman Freeman, by whom they
were held, respectively, in $3OO and $5OO bail—the first
to keep the peaoe, and the other for resitting the
officer in the arrest.

pendicular streams one' hundred feet through the same
sized nozzles—thr» 0 over Herr’s hotel, a four-story
building, and two over Brant’s Hall, of an equal

■Whistling to Keep Courage Up.—lf thero
was ever an illustration of this, it was > furnished
last evening by the Florencsites, in their efforts to get
up a demonstration in honor of the inglorious eleotlon
of the Government pet to Qoagrees A motley group
of navy yird hirelings—one-half of whom will mo‘t
probably be discharged within a fortnight—whi wero
employed for the purpose of overcoming the righteous
foeliog of indigoatiou entertained against Mr. Fiorenoj
by the people of his district, got up a torchlight proces
sion, and with marie and banners marched tnrough our
streets. As they passed along, the ascending smoke of
their flambeaux, and the tar flavor emitted, were in
perfect keeping with the feeble cheers which went up
along their line Not very gratifying was their recep
tion—for scarcely a rrßponse was given, and they coul i
not help feeliog the full force of the overwhelming
contempt with which the man thry essayed to honor it
regarded, and the still greater loathiog with which they
are looked upon, as his willing, pliant tools.
Glorying in Small Things. —An omnibus
party of Florence men passed along Chestnut street,
yesterday, and another made an irruption into Third
street. They looked frightfully battered up, and stag
gered joyously, but rlaketty, along tbe street p ecade t
by a drum and fife, played in a very irresulat ac<l
inebriated knd of away. They looked pretty happy,
but it was tbe “tall end” of EMI? good feeliog. acd

night. As tho flrst party p*ss*£ftic pnstem house they
essayed a cheer; but it was k £tihy attempt, and cot
with Just *8 sickly a rospon e Jrom abory of officials
who were lounging disconsolate upon the steps. Yerilv,
Florence may exclaim, as did tec Woman general, whiht
witnessing these feeble rejoicings, “One m.re victory
and I am undone ! n
Abuse of the Elective Franchise As
usual in every spirited contest, several persons wore
arrested for Illegal voting. In the Teeth ward, a m&u
named John Luts was arrested after having, it is al
leged. voted three times atdifferent precincts,and ashe
was about to vote for the fourth time. The accused vrsj
taken before Alderman Hibbard, who held him in
81 500 ball to answer
Oharles Francis, who is known to the police as a pro
fessional thief, was arrested iu the Fourth ward, on tho
charge of bnving voted illegally. Peter Monroe, an im
portation from Baltimore, wa« ar>eated for voting ille
gally in the same wan! On the person of the latter a
heavily-loaded doublr-barrelled pistol was found. Both
men were committed to anewor.
The Rejoioinos. Notwithstanding the
weather yesterday was anything but propitious for
out-door rejoicing, there were mauy displays in token
of the e'xhuberance of joy which pervaded the People's
ranks at the achievement of one of the most glorious
triumphs upon the political records. Beverat bands
were out. in vehicles, from which floated the names of
successful candidates; while upon the streets there was
no end to tba manifestations of delight with whirii the
result had inspired the masses The Press tffice was
bosieged throovhoat the day by anxious persons, and
had there been an edition of the morning’s issun
treble that which we usually strike. off, every copy
would have been disposed of At an early hour.
Election Frays.— During one of the many
fights .which oocurred in tbe lower parts of the city on
eleoliou night, a notorious individual named Drew wia
struck in the head with a brick. The affair occurred in
South street, ab ,ve Ball alley. Drew was taken to tbe
Pennsylvania Hospital, and a man named MoGUnoey
was arrested on the charge nf haviog thrown the bricx
There was also a good deal of wrangling and fighting
done in the lower districts of the city, and the or.e
hundred and fifty officers on duty had their hands full.
Iu the other parts of the city things were nniisualty
quiet ooDsidering the occasion.
Rumored Homicide. — We heard It rumored
last evening that a boy had been killed in ths neighbor
hood of Union street, the particulars of which were,
that a man, Bomewhat under the influence of liquor,
propounded some question, with reierenceto the elec
tion, to a colored boy. Not receiving a satisfactory aa
ewer, he raised his cane and struck the boy, killing him
almost Instantly. We made diligent efforts to ascer
tain the truth or error of tbe rumor, but were unable
to glean aoy satisfactory information.
A Fine Field for Operations.— Tho light
fingered gentry were afforded an admirable opportunity
for successfully plying their oalling, iu the crowds
which assembled at the different points o! excitement
more particularly aloog Chestnut street. Mr. Louis
Pelnuze was relieved of a valuable gold watch and
chain, aod Geo. A. Coffey, Brq , had his pocket picked
of a wallet, containing a small amount of money, while
working his way through a crowd to a newspaper office.

Terrible Affray in Shelby Connty,
One Mnn Shot find another Wounded.
Shblbttillr. Oot. 5.1858 —To the Editor of
the Alton Courier: This villngo has been the
of a terrible affray, which finally resulted
in the death of one man. another being danger**
onsly wounded, and a third haring one leg broken.
As near as I oan learn tho particulars they Are as
follows:
In the vicinity of Big Spring post office, about
twelve miles from this place, there has existed for
a long time a deadly feud between parties num
bering several persons on a side. Of these per
sons, one Malcom Matthews was Indicted for at
tempting to shoot, with a rifle, one Marshall Elam,
belonging to tb« opposite party. Tbe-caafe was
tried to-day, and resulted in the conviction of Mat
thews
The trial over, one of the witnesses, Benjamin
Allen, and the before-mentioned Elam, met open
the street, and after a short Altercation a fight took
place between them, in which Elam discharged two
B v o's from a rpvolver at Alton, one of which took
(foot in his abdomen. He also attempted to dis
charge a third shot, but the pistol missel fire,
whereupon he commenced beating Allen with it,
giving him some severe blows upon the head. The
oombs'ants were finally separated, and as soon as
he found himself free Elsm ran, as it is supposed,
to cfoapo arrest. He was accompanied by bis
brothor William. They took direc
tion, running down the road into a deen ravine,
[ whore they were overtaken or come upon hv A. J.
i Hatfield, deputy sheriff, who shnt Marshall Elam,
| giving him a wound which proved fatal in fifteen
minutes.
The cn*irecorarounUy is greatly agitated about
the matter, and each man has his opinion concern
ing it. All agree that Hatfield was too rash ; bnt
there is a variety of opinions as to whether he has
committed a cold-blooded murder or cau he justi
fied as acting in discharge of his official duty.
That your readers may see how the case stands, I
give the substance of the testimony of some of the
witnesses upon bis examination' It should he
mentioned first, however, that he has been Identi
fied with the Allen party. Just before the fight
of Elam and Allen,ooanrred, he was seen by seve
ral persons rolling up his sleeves, making violent
gestures,-using violent language, and calling upon
any one who had anything against Mm to “ pitch
in.” He bad been drinking freely. Elam waa
at the time present, and it is generally supposed
that Hatfield’s language waa intended to call him
or his friends out. While this was going on, Al
len made his appearance in the crowd, with the
result as before stated
William Elam testified that when his brother
and himself got down into the ravine be heard
Hatfield osll to his brother, “ You are a dead
man;” that deceased and witness stopped; that
Hatfield appeared immediately, descended into
the ravine, put hie pistol close to deceased’s breast,
and fired ; that they then both reached Hatfield;
that he does not know if deceased snd Hatfield
clenched before the shot; that they wore close
enough to have done so. as tbo olothes of deoeased
were burnt bv the powder of the pistol.
Wm. .Fleming testified that wheu heoame op to
the parties in the ravine, he inquired of William
Elsm how the affair occurred ; that his answer was,
, that when they saw Hatfield coming, his brother
went towards him and olenched him; that a short
tussle ensued, followed by Hatfield’s shooting; that
Hatfield said’to witness, “he resisted me, and I
have shot Mm, I suppose badly; arrest that man,”
pointing to William, “ they resisted me.”
As has already been stated, there Is a great va
riety of opinion oonoermng this affair. _ Many think
the shooting was entirely unnecessary, as Elam was
not armed. Hatfield has not been committed He

CITY ITEMS.
Wonders op Electricity —Since the imper
fect dlscovorr of this mortwoideVful of all impondera
bles la the fifteenth century, and the practical uses
to whleh, under the guidance of science, it has since
then been applied, few mechanical processes, in which
eleot-loity is the active sgent, have more immediately
Interested the public than that of electro-plating. In
deed, so important is this powerful unseen sgent be
coming in the laboratory and the workshop of the
san. that an utter ignorance of its prect'cr.'. cj. . .• i . a
Is almost inexcusable
Through the courtesy of E. W. Carryl, Esq , and tbe
skilful electrician. Mr. Bamuel Faklns, 8r , at the head
of his exter.g<ve silver-plating establishment, No. 714
Chestnut street, we hod -recently the privilege of wit
nessing tbe operation of coating with silver an elaborate
article of Britannia ware by means of the galvanic bat
tery. As the process was one of instructive interest to
us, we propose here briefly to described to ourroader*
Before commencing the operation of plating a Btitau
nt’. urn, It was dipped Into a solution of potash for the
purpose of freeing it from all greasy substance, after
which it was subjected to a thorough cleansing by
means of pumice-stone and a brush. This done, the
urn was suddenly immersed in what Is termed a whiten
ing hath, in which the effedt of turning it from its
original color .to a silvery whiteness waa instantanoons,
caused by the battery, with which this bath was
connected, being very.powerful. The urn was next
transferred to the plating bath, in which is dis
solved a large quantity of the purest silver, but
the batteries of which are less powerful. While
thus submerged in this bath, the process *f plating is
Intensely Interesting. The liquid itself Is a solution
of silver aod powerful chemicals. "In this are suspend
ed, from two separate wires, sheets of silver, between
which are hung the articles to be plated, which, by
their respective connection with the silver and zinc
plates in the batteries, and forming a circuit by means
of a concocting wire, tbe plating process goes regularly
on. The process ot gilding and electrotyping is
exactly the same, the only difference bring in the
metals employed. We may state herd that it
matters not In the least how far the article
to be plated may be separated from the batteries, so that
this eleetrio circuit is preserved; an intervening ocean
wtuld not interrupt the process, provided all went right
with the “cable.” In this respect we were particularly
instructed ; It had never occurred to us that the body of
plate thus fixed upon the surface of a piece of wars
was entirely at the option of the operator—-that the
thickness of the plating could be carried to any ex
tent by continuing the operation, and supplying the sil
ver to the solution, which we leiro Is the fact: For this
reason, the length of time ware is allowed to remain In
the plating both is governed entirely by the thickness
ef plate it is to receive. Indeed we were told by Mr.
Carryl. tb&t so true was tbe preens that the weightiest
by the silver sheets during the operttion would cones
pbnd almost exactly with the weight gained by tbe arti
cle plated. We noticed also that the plated article on
being taken from tbe bath, instead of possessing the
oolor of silver, was of a milky whiteness, and exhibited
a velvety roughness, hot which we saw speedily reme
died by the burnisher’s art.
In an adjoining room w$ also witnessed the process
of setting up the batteries, together with preparing the
platinized silver nheet end sino plates used in their
construction. Owing to*the fact that more zinc in the
batteries Is destroyed than the quantity ot.silver de
posited through their action, new batteries need to be
constantly supplied; and from tbe suocessfal manner in
which Mr. Eakfn set np several batteries in our
presence, it is quite evident that Mr. Carryl has been
more than ordinarily successful in procuring the services
of a scientific gentleman to conduct the plating depart
ment of his establishment. This can, of oourse, convey
bat a meagre idea of the operation we have attempted
to doscribe ; and In view of this, we wouldcommend the
ourfous In such matters to see for themselves, which
we are assured they will be welcome to do at any time,
at the establishment to which we have thus taken the
liberty of referring.
