of the Government. We allude 70 the Gus
tom of submitting nearly all the Executive
measures-from grave questions Of State
policy to the appointment of tide-waiters and
other ministerial oficers-to the decision of
what is called Cabinet Council The
custom and the agency are alike unknown
to the language of the Constitution, which
declares that the President may require
the opinion, in mTti'ty, of the principal OH
Ger in each of the Executive Departments
upon any subject cet0ttng to the duties "
their respective Offices" but says not word
of Cabinets" or of cabinet consultations. }"
Equally without authority is the term Of
constitutional advisers" popularity applied
to the Secretaries at the head OF the several
Executive Departments.
The object and meaning of the Constitu-
ton in the provision under this head are ap-
parent, These Opinions i'll writing" were
meant not ONLY to serve for the immediate
information Of the President but, by becom-
ing of record, 10 perpetuate and transmit to
history the grounds on which important mea-
sures of public policy were decided. A
Cabinet Council keeps no record OF Its
proceedings, and thus the motive and rea-
sons of it's determinations are left subject to
a measure of incertitude which may tend to
diminish the sense of personal responsibility
under which its members act, and which me-
cessarily deprives the country OF important
aids to the full and authentic summing up
of its administrative annals. We are unable
to designate the precise time when the latter
usage sprang up, but we know Of no case IN
which the President has called for the writ
ten opinions of his Secretaries since the ad-
ministration of Mr. Monroe. when each MEM
Der of his Cabinet was required TO define his
views on the constitutionality and eXpedl-
ency of the Missouri Comproml>e.-N".

The transatlantic Balloon.

Mr.. John La Mountain, the Eronaut. has
nearly completed the arrangements for con-
structing mammoth balloon, with which he
hopes and believes he will he able TO cross
the Atlantic. Its construction will be COM
menced by him short distance from this
city, in a few days, and pushed forward so
that the aerial ship will be ready to try the
experiment Of reaching England during the
early part of the present season. In size the
balloon will be far ahead ofanythng of the
kind heretofore constructed. 1t will be about
- feet long and 81 in diameter, holding
10000 cubic feet gas. The largest bal
loon thus far, has only been of the capacity Of
5000 feet.
Nearly all the materials for Mr.. La Noun
tain's balloon have been purchased; and have
been selected with regard to lightness COM
bned with strength The Troy Patent Rope
Works are now engaged in manufacturing the
rope, Of which there will he about FIVE miles
required Four miles Of this will be quite
small in size, about three thirty-seconds of an
inch in diameter. The rest will he somewhat
larger. This rope is prepared with great
care, and is of immense strength The best
material is used, spun in boiling water, by
which it is kept firm and free from kinks
The silk and other articles used by Mr.. La
Mountain will be prepared with equal atteu-
ton, and as far as man can foresee, no unto
ward break can possibly mar the success of
the experiment.
The balloon will have large car attached
to it. which will contain small life boat, now
building at New York and nearly ready
The lite boat will be l6 feet in length, and will
weigh but l2j pounds, thus adapting it
in every respect to the purpose for which it
is intended. 1t will be a strong, handsome,
and-in case of necessity safe craft. The
car will also contain steam engine attached
to propelling apparatus Of MIR. La Noun
tain's own devising by means ofwhlch the
balloon can he raised or lowered from current
to current at a moments notice. In ordina-
ry balloons this is effected by suffering gas
To escape or throwing out ballast. A c"ntr-
vance similar to the propeller is great impro-
yement in this respect, andupona long voyage
across the Atlantic would be Indispensable.
1t will have lifting power of four tons, and
as the boiler will be heated by alcohol
there will no danger Of eAplosion. The total
weight of engine boiler, and propeller will
he less than .iJO lbs.
As soon as the balloon is completed. we
believe it is intended by its owner to exhibit
it at Kand's Hall, and probably test its power
by flight across the continent previous to
rmiarking on an ocean voyage. Should 1t
ever reach ngIand-rhich Mr. La Noun
tain and his friends are sanSune it will-we
can well CINE our John Bull cousins will
have an elevated notion of America and Ann
crican institutions The appearance OF the
air-monster. travelling on the wings Of the
wind, but under the control Of one man, would
indeed be sight worthy to be remembered
for life time 7ioy Wig.
