MR. O CONOirS LATEST. p«ew Yurk Herald.] The anniversary of the battle of New Orleans was celebrated at New ark on the Bth of January. The man agers thought they did a clever thing in inviting so renowned a lawyer and jurist as Mr. Charles O'Conor to their banquet. They of course did not ex pect that he would so far depart froin his settled habit of shunning festive meetings as to attend, but they took their chances of receiving a neat letter of thanks and regret, expressing sym pathv with the occasion, which they hoped to publish as a means of giving dignity to their dinner. They got more than thev bargained for. In stead of replying in a brief note of courtesy Mr. O'Conor sent them an elaborate dessertation, in which, with the audacity of genius, he assailed the ideas to which Gen. Jackson was most devoted, and undertook to dem onstrate that our political institutions are a failure on their present basis. So bold a genius seldom does things by halves. Besides declaring his opin ion that our Government, as originally organized, has totally miscarried, Mr. O'Conor sketched his own plan of a redeeming substitute. It is the most radical proposition ever presented for the consideration of a political commu nity. Mr. O'Conor would have the State Governments abolished; would dis pense with the Federal Senate and lodge all Legislative power in the House of Representatives; would have the President chosen by lot from the members of the House, and his term of office limited to a single month; would abolish the postal service; would abolish the army and navy and depend on the militia; would allow none but general laws to be passed ; would forbid Congress to meet for pur poses of legislation, except in some great exigency ; would so simplify the Government and abridge its functions that official prizes would not be worth contending for, and thus annihilate political parties by withholding the "spoils." Politicians will stop and take breath after reading such a catalogue of re forms proposed in apparently grave earnest by one of the most gifted in tellects of the country. The light in which this extraordinary and startling series of proposals ought to be re garded is that of a vehement protest by a citizen of great moral elevation against the corrupt and chicaning methods of our party politics. The extraordinary proposals are a device for gaining attention, like that grim proposal of Swift to fatten babies in Ireland and make them a choice arti cle of diet for those who could afford luxuries. There have been dolts and simpletons who regarded that singular pamphlet as a proof of Swift's revolt ing inhumanity. It was, in truth, not only one of the brightest efforts of his genius, but the most signal exhibition of his tortured sense of benevolence and vehement sympathy with Irish suffering. In the sense in which Swift intended it was a demonstration that the ragged, shivering, hungry Irish poor would be less wretched if they fattened their young children for the shambles than they were in their actual condition. That shocking and revolting pamphlet—shocking and re volting to dullards who did not pene trate its purpose—was the most stren uous shriek ever uttered in behalf of Irish misery. Mr. O'Conor's genius does not lie in the 6ame direction as Swift's; for although he is not inferior to Swift in satiric vehemence he lacks the profusely inventive wit of that greatest of the masters of satire. But his design is not dissimilar to Swift's. He makes a proposal against which be knows that popular sentiment will re volt as a means of emphasizing abuses which he wishes to impress upon the attention of bis countrymen. His air of downright seriousness is quite equal to that of his imperturbable model. As Swift drew a picture of a nicely roasted baby on the platter of the no bility (insinuating that their actual treatment of the Irish poor was quite as inhuman) and described the turns of the carving knife in dissecting out the choicest and juiciest cuts, so Mr. O'Conor carves up our political institu tions and exhibits the bare bones which would bo left after the operation. Of course, Mr. O'Conor's proposals are a tremendous Swiftean satire. A roan of his consummate knowledge and experience knows well enough that his scheme is as impracticable as the fattening of babies to supply the tables of heartless epicures. lie counts upon the revolt of public senti ment against proposals which be puts forth merely as a vigorous and pecu liar protest against the scandalous abuses of our political system. Mr. O'Conor does not need to be told that a monthly President, chosen by lot, is a visionary idea. How could treaties ever be negotiated with a foreign Gov ernment if the director of the negotia tions was changed every month ? What continuity could there be in our foreign or domestic policy if subject to the caprices of jumping-jack Presidents, taken monthly by lot from the ordinary herd of Congressmen ? How could a great war be conducted when the Com mander-in-Chief of the national armies could scarcely begin to acquaint him self with the situation before giving place to a successor as raw as himself? Mr. O'Conor sees the objections to his scheme better than anybody can tell him, but it does not thence follow that lie has not rendered a service in giving emphasis to the bad condition of our politics. There is reallv much food for useful reflection in Mr. O'Conor's proposi tions. He has pierced the great vice of our political system to the pith. Our politics have been demoralized by our Presidential elections. It is im portant to abate the vehemence and corruption of our quadrennial Presi dential struggles by diminishing the value of the great political prize. If the President, like the British Prime Minister, were dependent on the leg islative body for his continuance in office ; if he were taken from that body and compelled to retire whenever he was not supported by a majority, we should escape the most potent corrupt ing influence in our political system. The Executive would be always in harmony with Congress. He would generally be one of the ablest and most experienced statesmen in that body, and as bis tenure would be un certain and short the country would not l>e perpetually convulsed by strug gles and intrigues for the office. Mr. O'Conor's devices to gain attention in inculcating this idea must not be con founded with the substantial merits of the ide) it' Self. | A Manniflcenl Family Bible. The National PuV.i«hing Company :of Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis j and Atlanta are doing a go«>d u ork in this community bv circulating fmong our people one of the most ?nperh edi tions we have ever seen. The binding . is elegant, tasteful and substantial, i The press work is done in the best j style, and the paper is of the finest quality. . Being determined that their Bibles shall not be surpassed by any other edition in print, the publishers have added to it an abridgement of l>r. Wil liam Smith's great Dictionary of the Bible. This is a complete book in itself, and would inak'; an octavo volume of over six hundred pages. Its reputation a? the l>e?t Bible Dic tionarv is world-wide, and each sub scriber to this Bible thus obtains it free. TI . Another prominent feature is a His tory of All the Religious Denomina tions of the World. These accounts are clear and comprehensive, and are full of valuable information. The additional matter which ac companies the books of the Bible cov ers a wide range of subjects and is ex ceedingly valuable. A n accurate and detailed description of the Holy Land is given, followed by an interesting description of Jerusalem and its sa cred places. The Life of the Saviour and the Lives of the Apostles are also given at considerable length, and in such a manner as to be of frreat service to every reader of the Bible. Ihe Wanderings of the Israelites in the Wilderness are related, and the r l aber nacle and Temple are described with great minuteness. Another feature to which we would call particular atten tion is a series of Scripture illustra tions, remarkable for its completeness. It embraces a series of comprehensive descriptions of the Manners and Cus toms of the Nations of the Ancient World, of Biblical Antiquities, Scen ery, Natural History, etc., etc. Then follow a large uumber of chronological and other valuable tables designed to promote and facilitate the study of the Sacred Scriptures. These tables are so numerous that we have not space even to give their names. So full and complete is the additional matter of this magnificent edition of the Scrip tures, that the most careful student of God's word, the most exacting seeker after truth will find all his wants sup plied in this single volume. The book is magnificently illus trated. It contains over 2,000 fine engravings, many of which are by the great artist, Gustavo Dore. These engravings are genuine works of art, and were made at a cost of over $30,- 000. The great number and high character of these engravings make this the most valuable art publication of the century. Between the Apocrypha and the New Testament is a beautifully litho graphed marriage certificate, which makes this Bible an especially appro priate wedding present. This is fol lowed by a handsome Family Record, consisting of four quarto pages, finely lithographed. At the end of the volume is a photograph album, with spaces for sixteen portraits. These magnified Family Bibles arc superior to all others that we have seen, in the following respects : They contain the largest and finest engravings. They have the richest and most durable bindings. They contain the finest paper and the best printing. They are the cheaj>est and most complete, and they sell faster than any other Family Bibles. The National Publishing Company's Bibles weigh from one to three pounds more than any other Family Bibles published in the United States. This is proof positive that they are more so'id and substantial than any other Bibles. It proves that thev are printed on heavier paper, and bound with heavier and more durable ma terial. They are published in German also. We cordially commend this Bible to our readers, and hope it may find a place in every family. It is one of the best Family Bibles ever published, and no home should be without it. The price is astonishingly low, and within the reach of all. It is sold by subscription only, and Mr. David Wil fcelm, of Jefferson township, who is the authorized agent for this section, is now canvassing for it. Grant's Tour Around llie World. Mr. Wilhelm is also agent for the National Publishing Co.'s edition of General Grant's Tour Around the World, written by the celebrated writer, James McCabe. The work con tains over 300 pages, is handsomely illustrated and is considered the best account of the journey that has been written. Mr. W. will call at your home or place of business. (it Feed !

[New York Sun, Jun. 12.] "There's Edison's light!" exclaimed a passenger in a train that stopped at Menlo Park last evening, and a rush to one side of the car resulted. Two bright lights glowed upon lamp-posts standing on the elevation opposite the railway station, and these were re garded with much interest and curios ity by the travelers. The Pennsylva nia Railroad conductors say that this is a nightly occurrence on the road. In fact, passengers bound to Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington are often unable to withstand the temptation to see the electric apparatus in the bril liantly illuminated laboratory in the distance, and remain for the next train. Mr. Edison savs that all the lights are as brilliant as when first set up, and certainly they show no less of in tensity to the ordinary observer. So pleased is ho with what he considers his almost phenomenal success in the carbon principal, with incandescence instead of the voltaic arc, that he pro poses soon to establish at least one station in this city—that is to say, a station that will supply the buildings on a radius of one-third of a mile. Just how soon this will be he is unable to say, but he says he believes that he has a great surprise in store for those who do not believe in his light. Either the ground floor, cellar, or sub-cellar of an ordinary building will, he says, l>e sufficient for his purpose. In this he will set up a powerful steam engine, a dvnaino machine, and several gener ators. Thence insulated wires will be let out tt> a uumber of ao'd. t these will supply us many lights as are required. One of thf uiost curious objects in LMison'j laboratory is an eh-ctric H rht ; that ha- been completely submerged in a bath of water for several weeks. 11 is designed for suhmariyt* work, and as ; an assistance to divers in prosecuting their work in recovering sunken treas ures, and in patching up sunken ships | so that they may be raised. So constantly is Mr. Edison ab sorbed in his electrie problems Shut his assistants say that lie would forget j to eat hi. 4 ; meals and go to bed it he , were not reminded of those things. The other day, while returning from New York, lie alighted from the train at Mcnlo Park. forgetting that he had left his little daughter aboard. As the train was a'njut to start on its way to Philadelphia, the conductor recognized the child. "Are you not Mr. Edison's little girl ?*' said he. '"\es, fir ! she answered. The conductor lid her to the platform. Some distance ahead her father was seen hastening to his labora tory, entirely forgetful of his negli gence. - ■ ~-t 0 • • • • • J*'" Railroading Grant Through.
