VOTING. UV BALLOT.
Tho Philadelphia Daily News is opposed
to t 440 present system •of voting by secret
ballot, and suggests fis a remedy for the
wrongs perpetrated at the ballot box, the
abolishment of the secret ballot and the re
cording of ovbry citizen's name with his
vote. It says : • -
l'A proposition to introduce such a reform
in onr political affairs will meet - with_ much
opposition ; and yet it is certain that an
honest party would not lotto by it. There is
but one argument in favor of seerery in 'such
a mutter, and that is that a 'person whose
busines may ho injuriously affected by Mak
ing his political opinions known will desire
to conceal his vote. It mas.lm said in reply
to this that 'wry few conceal their opinions ;
and the injury resulting from frauds m voting
and counting very far outweighs all the ad
vantage gained by allowing • men to vote
folded ballot.
"'The impropriety of using any undue in
hence or oppression to prevent persons who
may ho deptinding upon others of different
views for employment or patronage of any
hind from voting according to their own con
victions is universally admitted, for it tends
to subvert the whole principle of repubican
government, and laws have been passelmak
mg it a 'penal offense to . attempt by such
means to coerce voters. These laws aro not--
sufficient to accomplish,tho object designed,
and a gennitto toleration of political senti
ment requires that there should be culti-'
Noted a moral feeling which would cause
every one' o regard it as a shameless outrage
for ono to take advantage of the humble cir
cumstances of his neighbor, and deprive
him of political independence, If the
wealth of ono citizen can enable him to do
privo another of this great privilege of a
freeman, it is certain that there is no such
thing as real political equality • between rich
mon and poor mon. It should, therefore,
be made a part of the education of every
one to respect thoindependent right of the
humblest citizen to make such use of the
ballot as his judgment may dictate, if this
idea bo not inculcated there can be ,no true
republicanism in 'our community, and it is
btit a mockery to hold elections. , To take a
dollar unlawfully from a eitizen is deemed
shameful offense against the law Fend surely
it must be regarded as an incalculably.great
er crime to deprkT ono of the- most valued
privilege of a member of our Civil cow
"lt is not probable that tho 'result , of our
elections would be often changed by abolish
ing the secret ballot, for it is evident that all
parties make use of improper moans to aug
ment the number of their votes ; but if it
wore probable that the results would often
be different from What they would ho with an
open and consequently honest record of
votes, the *fact should militate in favor of
the latter method of expressing the populai!
will. It in well known that in localities
where employers endeavor to control' the
votes of those depending upoU them for
wages they have various ` expedients 'which
defeat the design of the secret ballot, and
consequently, thin it fails to give to the poor
man the protection expected from it.
"When a manifest evil has little _but
"ancient custom" to recommend it, it is
time for all who desire to purify the political
atmosphere to take ineasure4 to remove it."
A NOVIFOL STEAM CANAL BOAT.
In view of the propfwed one of steam on
canal.), the following lettet from a corms.
pendent of the Seicitlifie Anterkan may be
of interest to many of the readers' of the
RAnix. We hope to see ! steam, instead of
horses or mules, uhed t 4 propel all canal
boats nt an early day, froM considerations
both of econ'onty and humanity :
4I MESSItii..EDITORM-1 . 11 your issue of Sep
tember 2 0 ,3 d, you copy an article from the
Rochester papers ahem the now steam canal
boat, Edward Backus, and as it does not
seem to give to give in all respects a correct
idea, I will endeavor to explain it. The
boat, Edward_Backus, was built with the
view of overcoming the obstacles that havo
hovtofore made steam on the canal a failure.
"It him been ,demonstrated that it screw
or public wheel, in as small a miter way as
tho canal, and shoving a boat of the predrill
style of canal bents at the speed of two miles
an hour, has a "slip" of about seventy-five
per cent.; and as this causes a eonsumption
of about two tuns of enal l every twelve hours,
_mid requires . a large boiler and engine in
proportion to the wort: donc,thereby lessen•
mg its carrying capacity, it cannot compet e
with horses,having direct hold on the ground,
and no loos of power, Now, it occurred to
Die, that if I could CO a wheel on the solid
ground, nt the bottom of , the canal, thereby
saving this 'enormous loss of power by slip,
and making the amount or power necessary
to drive a canalboat Joa. con:o:m nearer to the
power of two horses on the towing path, I
could opel a boat cheaper than with hot.:
ses. With this object in view, 1 constructed
a boat with a "welt" in the center, running
through the boat like a box for a center
hoard in a vessel,sixteen feet long,and twen•
ty inches withyind placed therein a traction
wheel eight feet in diameter, and, 0110 foot
thick. This wheel is hung in a fraine,which
is hinged at its forward end, allowing it to
riso and fall eight feet below.the boat;ajid as
the boat,'when loaded ; draws six foot of' wa
ter, this wheel ,calt thrive the boat when
the water is fourteen feet deep; and the
frame being hinged three feet above the bot
tom of the boat, it gives the traction wheel
A backward motion as it rises, and as it re
volves only seven or eight times a minute, it
rolls over stones or ether obstructions very
easily, and without ajar; The back end of
the well is enlarged, se,as to veceive a screw
wheel four feet in diameter, for use in deep
water, which can be connected with the en
gines readily, arid lowered below the bottom
of the boat, the traction wheel lifting and
guarding it from injury. This whole machi
nary occupies no more room than a horse
stable, and adding but little weight above
that of team. The boat has made two
short trips, and ono long one,. running the
entire length of the canal, and I find nothing
in the bottom of the canal to prevent the
general adoption of this '. principle. The
boat can be run from Buffalo to Albany,
without using the screw wheel more titan
twenty miles of the entire distance.
"The .Batilis has a carrying capacity of
two hundred and fifteen tuns, and uses one
half a tun of coal in twelve hours, running
from two and a half to three miles an hour,
and of course making no wash to the banks.

The Minden DeprettetNne on the Pacific
Itnitrond.
[jrom the Cheyenne Argue, November 4.1
Prom Conductor Donaldson, of t h e Union
Pacific Railroad, we obtainod particulars as
follows :
Train No. 1, drawn by engine 18, left
Alkali Station on the et of Octobor,at 1,80
a, ut,., and when seven miles .west was
thrown from the track,• and the engine and
four cars "ditched." It appears that a nee•
tion of two, rails had been torn up by In
dians, but could not be seen in titre
,to pre
vent the casualty. '• The engineer and
brakeman escaped from the train. The
former being much disabled Managed to
crawl into the grusa there ; being nearly
frozen ho crawled into the hot water front
the engine until it got too cold to bear. Con
ductor Trilby immediately mounted a hand
car and ran hack to Alkali for assistance.
A special car was sent from North • Platte
for the setae of wreck, but when within a
half mile of it was attaeked by Indians,'who
tried to tear up the track in their rear and
thus cut off retreat. Division Superintendent
Nicholls now ordered the train bad: to
North Platte for reinforcements, when it
agnjn ' St laid with a c'ompany of *soldiers
aboard. At this time there were numbers
of Indians in sight with their squaws an d
N1)1,00413. The troops, however, % could
not - get ;it, them, but set to work to assist
in clearing the wreck. They got out, the
fireman, whose name, we did not lettrit, who
had lain in it for three hours,' but who
„ay now dead. The poor fellow must
have suffered frightfully, as his legs
and one arm were shrivelled up with
the tire. About, this, time a wood train
trent Dgalalla cattle lo render assistance.---'
Now, a party of Indians slipped around and
set lire to the bridge in the rear, thus cutting
oIT the return of the wood train. This bridge
had a forty foot, span. A special train was
despatched front Sydney for the purpose of
picking up troops along the read, *hose
fukher advance was checked by the burn
ing bridge. They, however, safely advanced
the balance of the distance on foot. Atfour
o'clock, p, tn., of the same daVonductor
Donaldson left Cheyenne with a train,having
on board two companies from Fort Russell,
with orders to render what assistance they'
could. This train arrived -at the broken'
bridge,a distance of 176 utiles,in seven hours.
The different parties now at the scene of dig-,
aster, set to work, and by 2 o'clock,.
had cleared the track and repaired the brok
en bridge, so that the train arrived at Chey
enne by noun of the Ist inst.*. With the iirj
rival of Donaldson's train, North, With his
Pawnee scouts, also, arrived, together with
two companies of cavalry, with- orders to
Scour the country and search for themarau
dors, The engineer is very badly hurt, but
is 'expected to recover. The Indians went
north towards the North Platte. They cut
the spikes which held the, rails with their
hatchets. The fact of their squaws, &e., be
ing with them is suggestive that they are a
band escaping from Sheridan, and who, see
tag an opportunity to do mischief, immedi
ately availed themselves of it.

Our descriptions for November 'were so
full that we have but little that is new to add
to them., The striped costumes, which were
so pretty and so popular during the siinmier,
have been replaced by a material cilmposed
of wool and ,silk, with satin stripes, green
and black, blue and black, etc. One of the
Most convenient arrangements of the pres
ent season is the introduction .of a black
under-skirt, either. of silk or cashmere; and
an economic method of renewing the Ward
robe is rendered , very easy by the union of
two dresses, always bearing in mind the fol•
lowing advice :
The dresses must not be of. two different
patterns; ono material ahould be ofa.siniple
color, and, if possible, a neutral tint s such
as gray; black . or brown. This may indiff
erently form the uPper or the underskirt,
according to taste. 'lice mantelet may match
either the petticoat or dress, as most con
venient. • •
Many new shades have been introduced
this fall; but the most popular is the garnet,
or sultan, as it is called ; hot the dark, mud
dy garnet, but a redder tint, rather bright
and clear. Rich shadeS of golden brown
aro also "popular. Nearly all the new goods
are shot, or changeable ; that is, of two col
ors, as red and black, green and black, blue
mill Ohl; etc. This style is not confined to
silks, but is seen - in goods of all materials,
even the lowest priced. Stripes are usually
narrow, but of gay colors. It will be most
difficult to dress with taste, DOW that so
many hues are introduced into the toilet;
when blacks, browns, and grays were the
predominant colors, it was almost impossi
ble to go astray as to color, in however bad
taste the form of the garment may have
been ; but new, though our streets intky look
more picturesque for the gayly clad figures
floating to and fro, we fear.the individual
will suffer-in, rippearanco. It requires a very
nice taste to assort gay colors ; whore
it is possible .to introduce a good deal of
blackiimoag bright hues, it helps wonderful;
ly to tone down the other colors.
Short dresses are more and more worn,
and oven for ordinary house wear are grow
ing very popular; but nothing can replace
the tram-skirt for evening wear, Flounces
and ruffles of all widths are popular, and in
many cases pleated flounces have replaced
the gathered ones; narrow ruffles continuo
to bd gathered, and often pinked ht the
edges. Nearly all dresses have the upper
skirt looped up: Dresses open in front
grow more and more into favor. It is very
probable they will be definitely adopted for
all' toilets,.with the exception of winter
walking-dresses. There aro - several styles
of open - dress ; they aro 'cut either ns
shawl, a la Watteau or a la Bretonne.
The dress, opening as a shawl, describes a
point at the bottom, and the bodice is fro.
quently fastened at one side ; at the opposite
side there is a second row of buttons.
The Wid feat/ body opens squarely, and a
tarlatan fiehu is worn beneath. This nein'
crosses whilst forming folds. The Bretonne
bodice opens very kiwi and is rounded off at
the sides; instead' of terminating with a
straight line, as the Watteau, it hnishes off
with a curved line. It is the prettiest and'
most dressy of all the.threo different styles:
Inside the liretonno bolliee either a bouillonne
of muslin is arranged, or else a narrow plait
ing of muslin edged With lace. It is cut too
low to admit of lace' only.
With Louis XV. fashions, taco has once
morefound all the favor which formerly
rendered it the most beautifid ornament of
female toilet, not •to speak of the cuffs and
- ruffles of gentlemen of the ancient regime.
It is no longer to ball toilets only that loch
lends its charm and grace, it now ornaments
morning dresses'as well na evening ones.
Castalues aro all varieties ; in fact, it is
almost impossible to describe the many
styles. , In our November number, and in
this month, we have given samples of all the
most popular new models. Most of the vel
vets are trimmed .with lace or fringe, some
times with only satin pipings. If the sacque
is' cut long, it is almost always looped up at
the sides. Over the tight-fitting sacque the
old-fashioned round cape is worn,. usually
looped up in the back with a bow of ribbon
or rosette. Sometimes there are four capes
placed one over the other, slit open at the
back', and trimmed with narrow braid and
fringe. .
Bonnets grow smaller and smaller, the.
diadem front being fashiojtable and unbe
coming., flats are very popular this winter,
not only for young ladies, but married ones
also ; they really cover the face and head
more than.the bonnet, and with the addition
of the lace fall, which is put on the lint, as
well as the bonnet at the ears, if desired,
they are just as warm.
' A few now collars have been introduced
lately. There is one form made of fine
white linen, bordered with color ; on the
front there are points which slope backward
a considerable distance, and discover a
jindard cravat tied negligently round the
throat ithere is another collar which folds
over, like the revers, upon an open dress,
and which discovers a little of the chest,
Some collars are made of striped cambric,
and are edged with narrow Valenciennes.
Poe a long period the small stand-up collars
have been universall worn ; these innova
tions are a change, if s not an improvement,
on ii style that hasibecome monotonous.
.Cloaks for evening wear, opera, etc., are
usually white or red, embroidered and braid
ed in black, and edged with narrow black
silk fringe or else with a white lama fringe.
The Cardinal is a perfectly round pelorine,
to which is added very often a hood of black
lace. The smalteloaks called Trouville are
of 'white_ cashmere flannel, bound and trim•
mei' all round with red braid, with a hand
_some lama fringe round the edge; there is a
round scalloped hut hood..
- Modern crinolines are completed lry
tournure of horse-hair, whichgives the
necessary support to the Louii XV. puff,
'formed by the skirts of almost all fashion-
able dresses. Or again the tournure forMs
paniers at.the sides, for dresses quite in the
I'ompndonr style.
'Woolen fabrics, shot with two colors,
gederally dark, will be much worn -this
winter. In this respect, we are hap& to say,
the fashions aro growipg economical.
Fine Polies, silky in texture, sometimes
striped, sometimes shot With two colors,
will be fashionable this winter.
A TKattirtc whirlwind . and waterspout
was seen by a party in Wyoming Territory,
on the 19th ult. This storm arose in the
northwest, and the first premonition was a
furiouS wind. In a few minutes a whirlwind
was seen approaching: In a moment after,
the force of the storm struck', and hailstone%
in size from a partridge's toll hen's egg com
menced falling. The whirlwind as it swept
neroB the river 'Big Sandy, left thst bed of
the stream dry for a distance of three or
four hundred yards up and down the bed of
the river. The waterspout, which had thus
been formed, { then spread as it •ascended un
til the whole heavens were darkened by the
expanding spray, which seemed at length to
lose, itself among the clouds. One..l►ailstono
of average size measured five inches in cir
