DISCOVERIES IN sAsTRoSoxY.-"Stu Student Of S,huy-
lervie, sends ~ two pages Of foolscap manuscript
from which We make the following extracts:
"The Rev. Wm j. Loomis Of Schuyerville, cainsto

there are go siderea days in year; affirming there
are only 365. He asserts toat there IL Booth rsvou
ton Of the esrih its axis, but that 1t IL yearly

the earth the apparent annual revolution Of the

earth on ts axis and another revolution exac1y In the
sans plane occupying year for its performance. and
attribute this latter 10 the motion Of the earth round
the sun This cannot be 60, yet it has been the only
theory promul gated"
Student" does not here correctly state the Copeni-

not rnis-eta,e the views Of Mr. LOomis. Astronomy

We publish to-day at full length the bill reported
from the Senate Committee OF Foreign Relations,
upon which We made come comments yesterday.
1t is as our readers will observe, bill not for
limited temporary, special purpose bat to invest
the President, as part of the ordinary duties OF
his Office with the power OF making war at his
discretion upon mexico" "certain of the States
" of Central America the bill does not say which
States, though one would imagine that, In case of
this sort, little precision would be de'irable-and
" occasionally y" upon "thcsc in South America"
This attribute of making war at his discretion, is,
we believe the only prerogative Of the Crown OF
England which the President Of the United States
does not already possess. This bill, within the
modest compass of few lnes, gives him that
power as to one hemisphere, aud Mr.. Mason will
be ready, we suppose, TO follow it up at the next
session With bill giving HIM the Like power as to
the other hemisphere.
The strong disposition of the Shareholders to ex-
tend and increase the authority of the Executive
may be easily explained. Under the compromise
provisions Of the Federal Cons tuition for counting
FIVE slaves as equivalent for apportonment purposes
to three white men, and for giving to all The States
an equal vote in the Senate, the President may be
chosen by decidedly minority vote. Mr.. Bucha-
nan was bimself so chosen. To Increase the po vey
of the President is, then, one of the contrvsnces
Of the negro driving Democracy for increasing that
power of the minority over the majority, upon
which their hold upon the Federal Administration
entirely depends.
Suppose it bad been suggested to invest Wash
ington or John Adams with such q pOwer-whst
an oucry would have been raised sgainst it by the
Democracy of which Jefferson was the leader He
would hase considered 1t proof positive of the
moDarchical conspiracy in which be go Il 'mly be-
heyed, and no doubt it would have figured largely
in the resolutions of '9S. Mr.. Mason is, we be-
heve-or at least erjoys the reputation of being
of the same family with the George Mason of tue
Federal Convention. How shamefuly the Mason
family has degenerated! With the Mason Of to-day
in our eye, We may indeed consider it piece Of na
tionsl good fortune that neither Washington Jeer-
son, Madison nor Monroe left any sons thougnW
ipgton has not wholly escaped disgrace in bis col
late relative who raises nggers for the msrket
peddes Mount Vernon canes and sells to the ladies',
at good round price, the tomb and boOes OF his
illustrious sncester. We wonder how Mr. Mason,
after reporting such I'll, manages to sleep
o'pishts. Perhaps he consoles himself Sith ths idea
that the ghost of George Mason Sould scorn to
appear to so degenerate descendant.
