The Canal COntracts--Final Action of the
House.

Tho reports of the doings of the Legisla-
turo on Thursday, in the Columbus papers,
bring the satisfactory intelligence that the
House has finally put an end to the long
agony, by making similar disposition of
the Canal contracts to that adopted by the
Senate. The vote being upon Mr. Parsons
amendment Corresponding to Braces res
olutions) with proviso added restoring
the contracts to the contractors in case
they are sustained by the proper tribunals
The record shows ayes Sc, nays A. Par
sons amendment and Braces resolutions
being the same, and the proviso attached to
the latter as it passed the Senate being pre-
cisely identical with the House proviso, the
action of the Senate stands sustained by the
House, and both Houses agreed.
We clip the following account of the pro-
cecdngs in tho House from tho official re-
ports of Thursday:
Mr.. Parsons from the Judiciary Commit
tee, reported back House bill 244, relative
to the Public Works, with one amendment,
striking out all after the enacting clause,
and insert new bill, with proviso added
to restore TO the contractors their several
contracts in case they are sustained by tho
proper tribunals.
Mr.. Caldwell moved that the amendment
be amended by inserting after the enacting
clause, House bill 279, known as Cadwelrs
bill.
The question being on agreeing to the
amendment offered by Mr.. Caldwell, it was
lost--yeas 48, nays 50.
The question then turned on agreeing to
tho amendment offered by Mr.. Parsons,
which was carried-yeas So, nays 48.
House bill 244, relative to the Public
Works, on motion of Mr.. Parsons was order
ed to be engrossed at the Clerks desk, and
read third time.
The question being on the passage of the
bill, it was lost--yeas 55, nays 46 not a con-
stitutional majority.

The SUN Forever In the Meridian.

Professor Sontag. Astronomer to the Grnnell Ex-
pedition' in his narrative says As the land ada
cent to the pole is all terra ncognita, it is impossible
to say what additions to the stores of natural science
a visitor to those regions might be able to make.
Certain it is, however, that new and wide field would
be opened for Investigation. Everything there would
be novel; and that circumstance alone would be well
calculated to stimulate his attentive faculties. The
difficulties which would present themselves to the
Investigator may be appreciated at home; but they
would be greater or less according to circumstances
of which we know nothing. We know not for exam
ple whether the pole is covered with open water,
icy sea- Or dry land; do we know which of these
three conditions would be most favorable for nvesti
CATION. 1t may be presumed, however, that an open
would be, in several respects, the most dsadvan
tageous In the first place, it would in all probability
be so deep that the ship would be unable to anchor;
and the current might be too strong to permit her to
keep stationary long enough to make accurate obser
vations. In the second place if she could not main
tain her position steadily at one point, the comman
der would experience new embarrassment, VIZ: a.
every meridian must extend Southwardy, he would
he apt to lose that which he approached the pole
and consequently lie would be at a loss how tt
shape his course homeward. GA .TIsL.iG
The occurrence of this strange difficulty will natu
rally present itself as one among many novel phe
nomena which will arrest the adventurers attention
and the following observations would probably occu
to him on the spot. The time Of day Ito use thai
phraseoogy for want of any other that would be
appropriately would no longer be marked by any APP
parent change in the attitude of the above thu
horizon because to spectator at the pole no sucl
change would appear, except to the small amount o
the daily change Of the declination. Thus, not only
to the eye, but also for the practical purpose of OBJ
tanning the time BY astronomical observations, the
sun would appear throughout the twenty-four hours
neither to rise fall bnt to describe circle round
the heavens parallel with the horizon Therefore
the usual mode of ascertaning the time would utterly
fail and indeed however startling may be the asser
ton it is nevertheless true, that time, the natural
distinction of time would be no more. This will ap
pear from the consideration that the idea of apparent
time refers only to the particular meridian on which
an observer happens to be placed and is marked Oh
determined only by the distance OF the sum- some
other heavenly body, from that meridian. Now as
an observer at the pole is on no one meridian but is
stationed at point where all merdans meet, it is
evident that apparent time" for him has no exist
ence
