The Tariff Of 1924 was carried by majority of

The tariff Of 1928 also carried by one roie.
And the tariff OF 1912 was carried by ono vote in
the Senate (thanks to Hon II. Williams) and by n
majority oftwo votes in the House.
May it no, therefore be repealed by one vote And
is not the value of vote greater since the reduc-
ton ofthe number Of the members of the House ?
Nay more--the whole may depend upon one vote of

Of colored seamen-and the resolution for repeal

free mulatoes and negroes-there was the same po-

imous against slavery, and the locofocos generally
acting with the South. Do not these prove be-
You'd the shadow of doubt that the only elecual way

how does the third party operate'-his clear they

CO VI Ell is.
In ages Of ignorance, Comets have always, from
their extraordinary appearance, been sources OF
superstitous terror to mankind. This fear has
been dissipa,ed by the light Of science, which has
shown that the appearance Of comets are regulated
by the same laws as other celestial phenomenas.-
We are still, however, almost ignorant OF the ma
tufe of these bodies, though great many hypoih-
esis have been formed concerning them. They
were considered by tho ancients, and particularly
by Aristotle, as accidental fires or meteor. genera
ted in the atmosphere of the earth but this opn-
ion is obviously sroundles.. II they were eonncc-
ted with the earth or its atmosphere, they wonld
pariake OF the diIrnal motion on the axis, and
could no, therefore appear to have durnal rero
lotion in the heavens along with the other celes-
tial bodies. Besides, their having diurnal par
ajax proves that they are at grea, distance from
the earth; while the fac, of their apparent motion
being affected by the annual motion OF the earth,
shows tina, they are situated in the planetary re-
gons. Observation has demonstrated that, like
the planets, they are permanen, bodies, and in all
probability, derive their light from the sun.
From the small portion Of the orbi. Of any COM
ct which we nave an opportunity Of observing, we
cannot ascertain with sufficient accuracy the ele-
menis necsssary.f for determining the period Of its
return but supposing that their orbits are not dis
tulbed by any cause in those distant regions OF
space through which the gea,sr poion Of the paths
of comets lie, it iss evident tina, by accurately OBJ
serving all the comets that come within view, and
carefully recording the results, in the course OF ages
the return OF many comets may be detected and
their periodic times ascertsined. Hence the great
er axis Of the orbit Of each may be determined by
KepIer's law; and the eonet'sleasi distance from
the sun being found BY observation, the less axis
will also become known. In this manner the Pc
riodic time OF some comets has been fosnd, and
their return predicted.
The first and mos, remarkable instance is that
Of Dr. Halfrey, who BY comparing his observations
on the come, Of 1882 with those Of Kepier on the
comet of 1907, and those Of Apian on the comet Of
1881. found reason TO eoncl8de, from The agree
nssHr Of the circumstances Of each, that what had
been considered three distinct comets we're only

Communication.
FOR THE HERALD.
NONRESIDENT OFFICE-HOLDERS.

Our CONSTANT and patriotic Governor, has
heretofore inveighed loudly against the non-re-
sidence of incumben,s Of office---even in the
same cases when the residence has been in the
neighborhood. Ii could hardly have been ex-
pecied that he would allow any one Of his Sat.
elites to fill distant office by proxy; yet,
such is the fact. Now, in the case of Albert
W. Paris, late his private Secretary and ac-
,ual Register of the Land Office at Muskoday;
residing with his family at Mineral Point. and
only going TO his Office at intervals Of a few
months 10 make out his accounis,..-at such
times he amuses the folks at Muskoday, by
pretending 10 be about commencing building
with view TO residence there. Ye, he is
continually telling the good people of Mineral
Point that Musko3ay offers no choice Of socie-
ty for his family.
Mr.. Paris has apparently, with sole
view to his own convenience) circulated pe,i.
tons in Iowa county. for the removal Of the
Land Office from skoday to Mineral Point.
The presen, location of the Office is in the GEN.
ire Of the Land ds.rict.--and more sca,hern
location would be particularly announcement TO
Settlers on The North OF the Wisconsin river;
moreover, all the objections urged at first a.
gains, the present location, have proved TO be
entirely unfounded. As safety and conve-
nience are both obtained BY the present loca-
ton in Gran, County, it would be unjust, par
tial. and oppressive to remove it, for The sole
purpose of accommodating the Register:
liza Register and Receiver are required in
Land Office, land every one will allow that
two men are necessary then common sense
dictates that both should reside near enough TO
give personal suderintendance TO its affairs.
No office should be created; the incumbent Of
which will have no duties 10 perform, or ifany
duties are to be performed, they should not be
passed over 10 another.
Such proceeding is foreign to the genius
Of cur institutions. If The present Register
cannot reside in Muskoday. either from want
of society, or from having too much business
elsewhere, it is his duty TO resign. Or should
he fancy the Office to be his own private prop
erty; The people Of the land district should Pc
ti,lon for his removal. The people Of this
county have explored, settled, and defended it,
with the least possible assistance from the
co"e'al Government; they have paid millions
into the Treasury Of the Union for their lands,
and continue to pay large sums fer the Tariff
articles they consume. II. therefore. few Of
fees should DO created among them. is il too
much 10 expect, tina, these Offices should be
filled BY residents! Shall we see these Offices
held by men who pass the duties over to others,
and spend their salaries in building Up society
elsewherel Shall We ,aHely submit TO see
these offices made into fund. TO reward pol,i-
cal favori,es, while the incumbeus are relieved
from all the duties thereof A, least, this
stale Of things will not he submitted to quietly
