" and quietly under the beneficial oPe-
ration Of the Registry Law. The regis

VACANCY.

The country has had so little practical
concern with the subject of the Presi-
Dental succession beyond the Vice
President, that it is not wonderful that
vague OF false impressions have pre-
vailed. Those who have not examined
the subject might naturally suppose,
from the analogy Of senatorial and re-
preventative vacancies, that a President
might be elected simply to complete an
~unexpired term. This view has been
often presented. On examining the
subject ourselves, we were brought TO
the conclusion, as our readers may re-
member, that the Constitution makes
no provision for the election Of a Presi-
dent except for the full term Of four
years; and we urged additional legisla-
ton as necessary for the safety Of the
Nation. We find our views confirmed
BY the opinions and action Of the able
Judiciary Committee. Said Mr.. Bout
well, of the committee, in the House:
"The Committee on the Judiciary
have examined the matter in reference as
to whether it is possible by law to pro,
vide for the election Of President and
yice-President to fill out the term fol
which the President and Vice-Presiden
last elected were originally elected.
believe the Committee are unanimously
of the opinion that there is no power il
Congress to pass q law to fill the va
csncy by an election. If an election
takes place under the existing law, ii
must be for four years from the 4th day
of March next ensuing the day Of cleo
tion.n

Tha Great Ornu

Yesterday we strayed into the new
Tabernacle building and looked around
and above at the great mass Of timber,
and enjoyed n feeling of gratitude in
the prospect Of a splendid house of wor-
ship. We ventured in to see the organ
building, on the south side, and were
exceedingly grati6ed with what we saw
and with q great deal more that we
learned from brother Ridges.
There, before us, were the thousands
of pieces of timber, big and small,
shaped and ~unshaped, rough and fin
ished, pipes, cranks, bellows and ma
chinery Of every description. Had we
been there a day sooner, we might have
seen tho Constitution" in better shape;
but it was just then being taken to
pieces to receive fresh work here and
there.
Of the immense work Of building an
organ, we had, before u visit, no con-
ception, and after we came away we
seemed to know still less, as the multi
tude Of ~intricacies only increased our
ignorance. Brother Ridges, however,
was kind enough to tell rs that the or
gan, when completed, will occupy q
space 20 by 80 feet and forty high. Be-
fore it plays Its opening hymn, about
1000 pipes will be made, ranging from
the size Of a wheat straw up to about
two feet square and 80 feet high-which
is tho largest size pipe used on this con-
tinent. Over twenty thousand feet Of
lumber will be used in the structure

SMELLING IN New MExIco.-The pro-
cess for the reduction of the ores from
the Calzada mines, New Mexico, is
smelling, or liquifying BY heat, and this
is effected by intermixiug charcoal with
the ore and making them burn together
in the furnace under q strong blast.
The blast is given by a large bellows,
or, what is better, a Mckenzie Blower,
and the fuanace is built tall and narrow,
like the common blast furnace. Though
the greater part Of the ore a DO very
well smelted in the reverberatory fur
mace, the cupola or blast furnace is
necessary for the reduction Of the re-
bellious or refractory ores as well as
the slags from the re~verberatory. The
of dressing and smelling these
ores amount to about twelve dollars per
ton, and the total expenses Of both min
ing and smelling to about twenty dol
lars. The wages Of lsborers are much
lower in New Mexico than in California
and Nevada, therefore thirty dollars
not be too much to estimate the
cost of the same here. The ore Of the
Calzada mine is an argentiferous galena
of a blue-black color, but sometimes
greenish from the admixture of green
carbonate of copper, and at others gray
ism nom the predominance Of sulphuret
Of silver.

Thu swansea Furnace,

Au0
This furnace which has the reputa-
ton of destroying every foreign sub
stance contained in ores-such as arse
mic, sulphur and antimony, is described
by a correspondent as follows:
The principle involved in the furnace
is that latter the ore has been carefully
selected and crushed and is supplied in
the condition Of fine gravel or coarse
sand, and slowly but continuously sifted
through a sort Of hopper or feed box on
its top every particle in passing through
the same is exposed to wasting heat
Of degrees Fahrenheit, where by such
a rapid yolatilization Of substances en-
sue that whatever the foreign matter
contained, or however held in combina-
ton with the sulphur, a complete sepa-
ration and passing away Of everything
occur.
The furnace is q vertical chamber
constructed entirely of FIRE brick, fitting
in which are a series Of horizontal bars
or bearers, also Of FIRE brick, angular
shaped, with the base Of their angles
turned upward. These for the purpose
| Of interceping and distributing the
crushed ore, as discharged from the
feed box, in which the supply is regu-
lsrly maintained in the passage Of the
same.
By the turning Of the bars fiat edge

heated but distributed bodies and rains

first started to operating, it only then,
and not afterwards, needs fuel-the sui

Total expenses Of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Now we have made the inside figures
on receipts-S5O,oOo Less than most
of our fnanciers' 6gures-with the e1-
penses placed at the very outside bound
of what they ought to be. The expenses
are set down according to the Civil APP
preparation bill passed at the regular
session, and signed BY the Governor; a
bill exceedingly liberal in all its provisions.
It is believed that Parrot will not re-
turn or exchange any Of his bonds dur
ing the next two years, except those
which fall due. IN that case the
amount on hand will be much greater.
Are we in error then, in ~characteriz-
ing the act of calling this extra session,
a great outrage on the people? And
this only looking at the matter in one
point of view-an unnecessary, entirely
unnecessary, and consequently a treas
ury wss.efulproceeding?
But the object, the real object, is to
obtain an overlooking treasury, on
which to "run high" and this album

some taxation on the mining interests
of Storey. On this We will give some
figures tomorrow; and show, that the
lowest proposition ever suggested by any
one of the junta would be disastrous to
Storey. But His Intelligency's Bill, for
which he claims he has q signed and
sealed majority, would shut up all our
mines, if it could be enforced. And
what the Governor sanctions his sap

Court will declare all correct. [,

EXTRA

The extra session." which His In
telligency summoned into organization,
opened at the Capital, at u noon, this
day. We regard the call, on the part of
the Governor, as nothing short Of a
high-handed outrage on the people of
this State, considered in its most charit-
able light, and supposing that the ulti-
mate results be not the ruinous tax
b~urdening of the mining interests of
this county. His proclamation begins
with the u~tterance Of a deliberate and
willful f~alsehood. C~onceding that the
General Revenue law Of '65, rs amended
in '66 is IN full force and effect, and in
the face Of the fact that the $500, 900
Loan Bill itself expressly levies a 10 per
cent. tax for payment Of loan interest,
and to create a Sinking Fund, the Cover
nor has the unparalleled efrontery to
declare, that no adequate provision has
been made for meeting the interest on
our State debt! This is q blank false
hood, as we will prove. Ifs Governor,
in one Of the Eastern States, should
issue such u proclamation rs Basdel has
shed abroad, under existing circum-
stances, he would, BY the force of q
hundred journals, be exhibited to the
derision and scorn Of the people Of the
entire nation. But we suppose that in
Nevada, where only a Blasdel could be
elected Governor, a Blasdel exhibition
Of arrogance, mendacity and stupidity
must be considered largely in the light
of a deserved judgment upon the elect
ing people.
Now, let US look at a few plain, in
disputable figures.
We say: there was no necessity for
calling the extra session, on the alleged
ground of inadequate revenue under ex-
isting Revenue laws-lsws acknowledge

The Mississippi Bill Field.

WASHINGTON, April IS.
In the Supreme Court, day, Hon. Rob
ert Walker filed the amended bill in behalf
of Mississippi against Secretary Stanton and
Gems Grant and Ord.
The Attorney General moved to dismiss
both this and the Georgia bill. for want of
Jurisdiction. And it was agreed by the
Counsel that the motion should be argued
on the 26th. inst.
The Chronicle states that persons are in
Washington from Arkansas and Virginia,
making arrangements to file bills for those
States to stop proceedings under the sher-
man act. Call you that submission to the
national will? Verify, Rebellion dies hard.
Meanwhile members of Congress are
watching these proceedings. Congress Will
re-assemble in July. If that body should
wipe out the existing rebel State organlza-
lions and tighten the strings generally, who
will be to blame for it
The proceedings of the Senate on the 18th
were not important. That body is expected
to adjourn in few days. 1t has been much
embarrassed by the persistency of the Presi-
dent in nominating his copperhead friends
for office.
