every body is on the qui vire to know
what will turn up" next. The boilers from
the Lawrence Convention put in nomina-
ton State Ticket and their recommen.
dation was partially acted upon. The la.
test accounts make it probable that the
pro.slavery party have elected their State

majority oftho Legislature, though moth
ing can certainly be known till Calhoun
makes his returns. This is under the lie.
compton Constitution.
The Free State Legislature, under the
Topeka Constitution, is now in session at
Lawrence and also the Territorial Legis.
lature, has now its first regular session
there.
The election under the auspices of the
Territorial Legislature, on the 4th inst,
was attended by few but free.state men
and it is thought the vote against the lie.
compton Constitution will foot up about
Is 900. which is at least four times Of
many as can be honestly thrown for it. A
great amount of fraudulent voting was
done, suffic, mt probably, if not thrown
out to elect the pro-savery State and Leg.

been made. Calhoun, it is expected vii

Mr.. Benjamin, in showing the neces-

he had list Of 92 vessels, the names of
which had been changed wi hin eighteen
months. Thirty of them had either been
lost at sea or the means Of loss of life
and property. The names were changed
to deceive the public when the vessels
were rottou and unseaworthy.
He instanced the Central America,

Where docs the Day Begin ?
WEDNESDAY,, JANUARY 20. 1868.

Where does the Day Begin
This question, which has often been the
subject Of interesting inquiry has been
again been asked by correspondent of
the ". Y. Observer. As the question Is
not answered there, we will do it.
The line of demarkation between the
days is drawn to correspond with the di.
rection from which civilization and chris
tianity have reached the different lands
which were the last to receive them
Russian America received them from the
west, Oregon from the east; so the day
that is called Saturday at Puget Sound
will be found to be the Sabbath at Sitka
So, the line of the days running down be.
tween Russian and british America ther
passes over toward the static coast, pas.
sing west of Micronesia, and then east.
ward of the Society Islands, and thus ur
to the South Pole.
The line is very irregular one, being
purely historical. 1t could be made con
ventional by the action Of tue American
Board Of Missions, and it would be vel
worth while to have it reformed and laic
down on maps.

A monster mortar has been tried at
Woolwich, England, successfully, with 70
lbs, of powder, though its full charge ia
800 lbs. The shell is one gard in diam.
eter, and, unchanged as it was in the ex-
pertinent, it tore up stones, and piled the
earth as high as house and filed the air
within radius of 200 yards with earth,
stones and roots Of trees. The monster Is
compounded of wrought and cast iron, In
seperate pieces tightly hoped together.
AT the fifth round the middle ring gave
way partially, and thus interrupted the
practice but it was successfully shown
that it could throw shell weighing ton
