Where Is the cormaetp

Various papers have for some time past been
heralding the approach of Blela's comet, and
pointed out its string of localities that not one
not one reader in a hundred COULD understand.
An exchange, after commenting severely upon
this "unintelligible jargon," asked, "Now, will
not somebody tell us in what particular part of
the heavens this beautiful comet may be seen
on given night" In answer to this quest
ion, the Chicago Tribune says:
For the benefit of our exchange, and all
others "to whom it may concern" to know, we
will state that the square of Pegasus is COM
posed of four prominent stars, and lies imme-
diately southwest of the vernal Equinox. The
meridian circle cutting that point-the equi-
noctial coiure-passing nearly through two of
the stars, "Algenib," near the equinox, and
"Alpheatz," some twelve degrees to the north
ward. These two are often referred to by as
tronomers as giving the location of the colure
Of the other two stars, lying westward of these
about sixteen degrees, the northerly one is
called "Scheat Pegasi," the other "Markab."
The star "Markab," near which the comet
now is, crosses the meridian within few
minutes of six o'clock in the evening" and but
few degrees south of the Zenith 1t may be
seen beneath that point and the western hori-
zon, till near midnight. WEI give the following
rule:
To find the Square" turn your face due
south about half past six in the evening, and
looking upward as high as you can without
straining your neck, the square will be in full
view; Markab" is the star in the lower right
hand corner.

ure will be introduced in the early days of
next Congress, by one of its ablest members !;
and that it will find favor in the highest quar-
terS 1t is not all that, in justice, we ought
to secure; it may be all that, in practice we
shah be able to obtain.
Nor, if such amendment is Incorporated in
the Constitution, can it be alleged that the
North seeks to impose ON the South provis-
ions as to suffrage which some northern states
are themselves unwilling to adopt. Public
opinion in the North will sustain it. Nor vet
will there be pretence for assertion that state
rights are invaded, since the measure affects
voters for Federal officers only. .t.,f. .t
The North has the power, by making such
an amendment condition of readmissiOn, to
secure its adoption. She will evince little pru-
dence or foresight if she suffers that power to
pass from her hands.
As to the civil rights of the negro, if Con-
gress admit single ex-insurgent state without
seeing to 1t that these are constitutionaly Sc
cured, the representatives of the nation will be
doing worse than to neglect their duty In
guarantying republican form of government; ;
they will be making the nation an accessory
to an outrage on civilization. To deny the
negro the right to testify in court of justice
is an act not of disfranchisement but of out
lawry.
States have the right to pass laws regarding
vagrants and paupers. But state hasno
constitutional right to Incorporate in any such
tdacs,or IN any laos a5hateoer defining the ciusl
rights of free persons, prorision restricting
their effect to any particular race of men. A
state cannot, for example, constitutionaliy
enact vagrant law that shall apply only to
citizens of Irish descent. Such a law would
be in violation of republican form of govern
ment, to say nothing of its certain result; 1t
pOuld be the signal for an insurrection among
the Irish all oUer the land.
The public desire is strong that fraternal re-
lations between the lately warning sections OF
our country should be speedily re-established.
That is well. To be reconciled to brother is
better than an altar-gift Peace is God-like
visitor. But if she come with her white robes
sullied with injustice, brief will be her sojourn
among US. io al
Let not our eagerness for tranquility, then,
betray us into concessions alike perilous and
dishonorable. We are in danger Of this. One
of the wisest of modern writer's on public af-
fairs has said: :"When nation has been wear
led by long strife, it will submit to duped for
the sake of peace"

It Makes a difference Whose OK is aorsd

A4OSO
"The sudden suppression" says the Boston
Post, of "the Jamaica insurrection was atten-
ded with almost as many horrors as were
crowded into tine bloody and brutal attempt
to make it successful. Eight miles of dead
bodies of rebels; thousand bodies hanged
and hanging! The mind revolts at the pic
ture, and refuses to believe that sudden fren-
zy can so barbarize a community. The afro
ciousness of the rising of the blacks we have
had already; now come the sickening details
of the reaction. An eyewitness writes that
"there is one continual scene of hanging day
by day." The sailors declare that the dead
bodies are buried SO thick they remind them
of sardines; and serious epidemics were feared
from the effiuvia-tainted atmosphere. To
crown all, and as if the Almighty would set
His seal of condemnation on the whole spec
tacle, the oscillations of the earth for time
threatened the living population with an in
discriminate engulfing. Horrors on horrors
head. And this is a specimen of the treat
ment which the British Government would
mete out to the rebels and insurrectionists |!
How long is it since they were freely offering
advice from England relative to our own
management Of such cases? Fenian or ma
tive of Jamaica, that Government shows no
mercy to malcontent TreasOni to its au-
thority is the one objectionable sin. 1t will
have all that is nominated in the bond.' So
excellent an adviser shows itself such a poor
actor. The dread of having the central a,l-
thority undermined and brought into contempt
is good enough proof of the preeariousness
with which the hold of that authority is
maintained 1t rather shocked our British
friends when they heard that sentence
had been executed upon Mrs. Surratt; but
they are hanging up females in Jamaica in
rows. 1t makes all the difference whose ami
NAL has been gored. But the revolving scenes
are nearly ended SO terrible scene should
deter even community of barbarians from
future thoughts of bloody revolt. What sort
of a social state will finally spring from this
pumice into which everything has been mash
ed in Jamaica, it would very likely pose the
most sagacious public man in Great Britain to
tell -

Immense Casting at the Fort Pitt Works.
The Pittsburg Chronicle of Wednesday

The Pittsburg Chronicle of Wednesday
says:
This afternoon the proprietors Of the Fort
Pitt Works achieved another great triumph in
the way ofheavy castings, having successfully
cast an immense fy-wheel, weighing about
forty-two tons, for Messrs. Zug & Co.'S rolling
mill. The mould was made in the rolling
mill (there not being sufficient space in the
Fort Pitt works for the purpose), and the
metal was run from the furnaces in iron coz
duits, through the open air, to the mould, a
distance of about one hundred and lsixty-eight
feet. The preparations for the casting have
occupied some two weeks, the mould being
made from cores instead of the usual wooden
patterns. The metal, amounting to about
forty-eight tons, was melted in two furnaces,
each one containing twenty-four tons.
The furnaces were tapped simultaneously,
and in less than twelve minutes the mass of
metal required for the casting had plowed into
the mould. The running ofthe metal, through
the open air, such distance, had never been
attempted before and the result of the expert
ment was eagerly watched But as with al
most everything else, attempted by the firm,
the experiment has been complete success.
The fy-wheel is supposed to be one of the
largest, if not the largest in the world. 1t is
seventy-nine feet five inches in circumf ference,
and about twenty-five feet in diameter, and
when finished will weigh about forty-two tons.
There are ten arms, each eight inches wide by
eleven inches deep. The hub is thirty inches
long, and the "eye" forty-two inches in circum-
ference; the rim is eight inches thick and
eighteen inches wide,

The Paris Exhibition for 1867.
A desp atch from Washington saws:

The time for fling applications from the
United States having been extended to the
first of Jan. 1866, it is very desirable that the
public should understand that it will be the
endeavor of the agent at New York Mr. j. G.
Derby, No. Spruce street,) to make the rep
resentation of the art and industry Of the Uni
ted States as complete as possible; and that it
viii therefore be necessary for him to make Sc
lections of representative articles in every class
or group, rather than accept many specimens
of the same class, whatever may be their mer-
its.
The necessity for this arises from the limit
ed space assigned to the United States, name
ly, thirty thousand square feet, which is equiv
alent to an area of one hundred and fifty feet
by two hundred. This, however, is five or six
times as much as we have been assigned IN
previous exhibitions.
In order to secure for representation that
universally of character above indicated, it
would be excusable for those classes of manu-
facturers, artisans and others, who produce ar
ticles of very general consumption, to adopt
some concerted action and delegate intelligent
