ANDERSON RECANTATION.
'lihat Weber Thinks About Jim's Stories andl Ilow tile Job Was Done. Anderson's recent reversal of himself and the bold assertion of the IRepublican press, that Weber would soon follow suit, creates a new interest in the latter gentleman. Mr. Weber is In town, and our reporter called on him last night. when the following conversation took Reporter--What do you think of Anderson's recent nflfidlavit recanting his testimony against John Shelrman before the Potter commuittee? Weber---I think he was bought.
As far as his statemlouts relate to me, they are lies Wade out of whole cloth. you offered or did you receive any money for your testimony before the Potter committee? did not receive any money for my 1 testimony, but I was led to believe that I could get money or position if I could testify in favor of John Sherman and the Republican party. you approached directly or indirectly with a view of retracting your testianony before the Potter committee, and, if so, were you led to believe you would be paid for so doing you object to giving the names of the parties who approached you to retract your testimony. and those who told you that a itwould be to your interest pecuniarily to I go with the Republicans will not give any names now other than mentioned in my testimony. At a proper time I will give all of them.

THE CU TTOM-HOUSE. The Mall Ilmcultles. The following telegram was receolved yesterday by Postmaster Badger: ATLANTA, November 13, 1878.
To Postmaster, Now Orleans: Dispatch delayed. Texas mails via Momphis. (Gl letter mail preference--pasper mail to bI displatclhd in limited quantity, so as not to overcrowd the lines. T''triEhl, Superintendent. 'rhe delays In the Northern malls are unexplained.
Yesterday's mail, which was due in tii morning did not reach here until after dark, owing prolably to the failure In connurctions of the trains at Loulsville. Passengers who arrived here last evening say that the trafl that shouhld have left Lou isville ati midtnightI on Wednu'iday did not leave until 4 o'clock in thet, mornin'g. THIE SUI'lRVisOILs' PAY. The' great majorlty of the United States supervisors of election were paid Ioff yestterdlay at the Unitllled Stato Marshal's olilee, which was aniliiat'ed, by the way, b)y the presence of C(ol. Jack Wharton, for the lirst tiuno in a couple of weeks.
His successful strife with the yellow fever relapsO scarcely inlanifests itsell, although it is evident that there hals bion a struggleo. Referring to the pay of the supervisors, we are informed by Deputy Marshal Wurzburger, in answer to our questions, that they were paid in proportion to the time they served. In conmputing their services the solar day is taken as a basis, and those supervisors whose time was occupied beyond twenty-four hours were paid accordingly, a certificate from the clerk of the Superior Criminal Court, Mr. Eugene May, being required of each supervisor in order to establish the time when the ballot box, in charge of each set, was delivered at the court-house. At the City Hall no conclusion has yet been reached regarding the pay of the commissioners of election who have to look to the city for their compensation, but it is probable that the same equitable settlement made by the United States Marshal will be adopted by the City Council, unless, however, it is said that it can be shown that unnecessary delay occurred In the counting of the votes.
NEWS FROM ST. JOHN PARISH. From Mr. Ursin Jacob, just returned from St. John parish, we learn that the yellow fever is rapidly decreasing.
For the last week only a few deaths have taken place. The new cases of fever were: Jos. Combre, Mr. Webre, a son of Mr. Voltaire Combre, and Father Ravoir.
Mr. L. Depoorter, the District Attorney and Mir. Auguste Chabat, who had had serious attacks of the fever, are much better. The planters are all busy making sugar, and the yield is better than last year.
STATE-HOUSE NOTES. Mr. Ernest Delahoussaye, the recorder of St. Martin, who was wounded in a difficulty with Detiege, is not dead, but alive and doing finely. A special election was held in the city of Baton Rouge on the eighth instant, under the provision of the charter of that place, and F.
B. Hillen was elected administrator of police and correction tor the city of Baton Rouge. His commission will be forwarded to-day. Nurses and attendants in sick rooms, who have not had the fever. use Omaha Rhubarb Wine as a preventive.

One learned writing on this subject says: "The irlincipal dlliiculty to be overmonlie Is the lack of economy in any mnethodr of producing light by electrlcity, except by the voltalc are between carbon) points, and as Mr. Edllson dlisclal.ms this method, and limits himself to the plan of Incantdescence, he will flind his ilath bscet with dilllculties8 In this (Iirection. lhis is shown by the well-known fact that an electrical current. of a given strength will yield about ten times as much light when used to produce the voltalc are hiotween carbon points as it could by being passed through a piece of platlinun, so as to raise it to a white heat, and give the light. In some expernIients recently imade In Paris by M.
Fintaine It was found that a powerful blattiery of forty-lIght elemenrrits would Iproduc in cine inr pl a light in0'ellndlescenee eq ual to forty burners; bult that when the satie current was in two lari )is the light in each was only three to five byurners, and when dlivideid lam.ls )1only one-quarter llurnr illn each.

In view of the interest taken in thel subject here, a represelntative of the (IA'r called upon) Mr. Thieobaldl Forstall, of the New Orleans Ga'slight Company, to learn his views.
Mr. FIorstall was seen at the oflic of the company atnd responded willingly to all questions arskedl. He said that he had just returned( from a visit to the Paris Exposition, to which pllace he went to investigate the subject of the electric light. I1o examined thorouighly into the matAter, and found that it required fully ia one-horse power engine to each light. In the orangcrie, of the Exposition and in the grounds there were ia number of these lights, but steam power to the above stanlard was required to drive the dlynamo-electric mnachines which furnished the fluid current.
These engines requitred the attendance of an engineer, and in this there is a loss of economy. ON ONE OF THIE BOULEVAIIS.q thereweid several ot these lights in operation. The was only sBo1e seven hundred yards intlengthl and in no 680O were the electric machinOe distant from the light more than two hundred feet. Hle thought it was a serious obstacle in the adaptation of the light that it was found so difficult to got suitable conductors of the alectricity to transmit it any distance with sufficient volume to give the necessary quantity for illumination. When questioned upon the point as to whether the introduction of Prof.
Edison's invention, if successful, would or would not affect the gas companies, he said he thought it would not. In the first place, if the streets were lighted with them the company would not regret it, for the gas company had not been paid for over live years for doing it. As for its introduction into dwellings he did not think that probable. THe BAPI'D COMBUSTION of the carbon pencils of the electric light would require frequent replenishment of them, or it the platinum was used, as Edison claims he will use, the care and attention of a galvanic battery in a house would be expensive and unsatisfactory. He thought that if the new light was introduced into large halls and theatres, then the people who had been sitting an evening under this almost daylight when they returned home and saw the light of their gas burners, would light up one or two more, and thus consumption would be increased.
He thought the whole question resolved itself into this: How much illuminating power can be got out of a pound of coal by retort distillation directly, Ind how much by using it to convert water into steam to run the dynamo-electric machines to furnish the electricity to the new lights. UNTIL EXPERIMENT HAD SHOWN that more could be obtained from the electricity obtained from this pound in running an engine than from distillation then as a minatter of erniorm the le'trli lighti.L wouild flOt tbe suci'ss.

The crime for which Mrs.

Indeed, so c.onwly has the ranrlerr of committing it been followed that it would neern as though the stary of the model crime had been read with care.

W. M. Mackey's complaint, who was nominated for Congress in the Charleston, S. C. i)istrict, is that at two polls in ward three of Charleston he did not get a fair shake.
He writes thus: "At the two polls in ward three, known as the Palmetto Engine-house, one of the managers, W. T. Daggett, the foreman of the Vcews and job printing office, stuffed of these little tickets in the box after the poll wasf The managers, linding that there were )5(Y ballots in the box, declined to throw out any, but counted them all, and returned the vote of that poll as 461 for Mackey and 3108 for O'Connor, At the other poll in this ward the same act was performed, and the managers returned 121 for Mackey and 1866 for O'Connor. So that one ward out of the eight in the city was male to give a majority of 4392 votes for The utter impossibility of returning 3569 persons at one poll in the space of twelve hours needs hardly be argued, as the managers voter eeparately, and in many cases consumed three or four minutes questioning some voters. It if safe to say that the average time consumed in voting each man was one minute, which would allow 720 votes to be polled, provided there was a continuous stream of voters dur- ing the twelve hours the polls were open.
Yet at this poll the managers make a return under oath that 3569 persons voted in the space of twelve hours. By this method Charleston city is made to give O'Connor a majority of 6527, or a majority larger than tle entire Democraticvoteof the city. Mackey concludes: "I see no remedy for the wrongs we are compelled to submit to. The publication of them, I am afraid, will do little good, but still publish them far and wide, that ti the world may know to what crimes the re- fi spectable Democrats of South Carolina may tl descend." It may be added that the entire Republican press is whooping up the letters in flaming head lines to-night. In another column will be seen the card of S.
