The Moons Rotation Again.

This question has been violently discussed
for the past six months in the London Times
and London Mechanics Mogazine. 1t is the
revival of an old controversy, caused by a let
ter of Mr. }. Symons, Inspector of schools, in
the Times of April the 9th. Mr.. Symons
took the position that as the moon always
presents the same face to the earth, it cannot
have rotation on its axis, and that the pre-
vailing opinion taught in astronomical works
that it rotates on its axis once in twenty
eight days exactly, to a second, is wrong.
He has been supported in his controversy by
Evan Hopkins, who, like like himself was ed
ucated at Cambridge, also David Musset, and
lately German mathematician, John Won
Gumpach, has published phamphlet support
ing the same views, in which he asserts that
Newton,s proposition relative to the moons
rotation has been entirely misunderstood by
bis followers. DR.. Lardper has just come out
in defence of the moons rotation, and Dr..
Whewell read paper on the same side be-
fore late meeting of the British Scientific
Association. These names show the intere t
which the question has excited among men
eminent in science.
After reading almost all that has been said
on both sides, we must say that the contro-
versy seems to be near an end as when it be-
gan, and as satisfactory as if it were decided
that both sides had gained the victory
Mathematics, instead of making some men
correct thinkers, lead them to be speculative
and vague reasoners.
If the moon does rotate on its axis in
twenty eight days exactly-during the period
of bor royol,,t;ou a round tho aarth-a work
ing model can be constructed to show these
two motions, conjointly with the earth's mo-
ton; this is the test we demanded of those
who advocate this side of the question. There
is no use them spending so much ink and
words in the controversy, let them demon
strate. This is the best advice we can give
them, and until they comply with it, we must
hold them responsible for propagating opin-
ions which they cannot support by actual de-
monstration. Scientific American.

A KNorrY QUEsrIoN.-A knotty question
has recently arisen in this State which would
require all the legal acumen of a Phladel-
phia lawyer to decide.
When the Auburn Jail was burned down,
more than year since, a prisoner named
John Roberts, indicted for murder in the first
degree, was sent to Sacramento for safe keep
ing, and was subsequently tried in folo
county and sentenced to be hung. On the
day Of execution, Gov. Johnson committed
his sentence to imprisonment for life. The
Yolo authrities having gone to the expense
of erecting a galows and taking it down
again, recently presented bill of 800 for the
same to the Board of Supervisors Of Placer
county, who refused payment but recon-
mended the presentation of the same the
bill, not the gaIows) to his Excellency.-
Whether the Governor will "approve' the
bill remains to be seen, but we presume the
matter will remain a portion of the suspended
debt
The affair may yet be brought up among
the knotty questions which will be brought
before the next Legislature. If it is, we pre-
sumo majority of the members will be found
call right on the .gallo~s question"

From the Iowa Hill News

We gather the following items from the
News of the 9th inst:
New JUsr1cE.-Mr. E. L. Watson, the
newly elected Justice of the Peace, we are
pleased to notice, has taken the building just
below our Office, and will open his Court on
Monday. Mr. Watson is gentleman, a
man of ability, and has served in the same
capacity for many years in some one of the
older States. We believe he will give good
satisfaction.
We have neglected to notice that Justice
Slade aud Constable Ladd have moved their
office to the U. S. Hotel where justice is
dispensed with the same ability and integri-
ty as heretofore.
REMovAL.-Wells, Fargo & Co. have
moved their office in this place to the Old
Bed Rock Building, farther west, on the op-
posite side of the street.
REJorc1NG.-The Democracy were in a
high state of rejoicing on Monday night af-
ter the receipt of the steamers news an
nouncing the election of James Buchanan
They fired guns until near twelve o'clock
at night, and no sooner had they quit, than
reports of the same character were heard
from Bird Flat
AccIDENr-We are informed by our
Roach Hill correspondent, Dor" that Mr..
Beardsley, foreman of the Baltimore Com
pany, on Roach Hill, had his left hand Sc
verey smashed on Thursday morning last.
He was engaged in cleaning up the Bed
Rock, when boulder fell, catching his hand
between it and the rock below, with the ex-
ception Of one finger, his hand may pos
sibly be saved.
"Dot" also says that Signor Martin per-
formed on Monday evening to a very res
pectabe little audience, after which the
''young folds" spent few hours stripping
the light fantastic toe to the saceet sounds
of bass vioi.
