Congress ms the Government.

Mr.. CHARLES SUMNER, Of Massachusetts,
lately addressed letter to the public, cx-
planning how hc proposed that Congress
should force negro suffrage all over the
Northern States, as the reconstruction act
had already provided for the torritoriallzcd
ten Southern States. lie was taken up, on
his elaborated scheme, by one Of his own
New England frcnds-a Professor In Il
learned institution, as SIMMER once was,
. butnot much 20 itscrcdlt-Rev. DIR. BACoN
who, in practical way, but one totally
outside Of the SUMNER Radical philosophy,
@ put the pregnant questions, with the at
tcndant replies.
Congress shall control the right of suf-
frage in all the States (SuMNER's propo-
sition)
"Suppose such law be enacted--how
shall It be executed? Tho National Gov
crnmeut has undertaken to determine who
shall vote. and who not In the state OF
Massachusetts. What ncNtY The Nation
al Government must make registration OF
voters, (as il isnOw doing in the southern
States,) by officers Of Its own. What ucNtg
gg. The National Government must take care
that no man whom it invests with this right
of voting is In any way restrained RON
voting; and therefore tho ballot boxes
must be under the inspection and in the
custody of United States officers, and Cni-
ted states policemen or soldiers must keep
order at the voting places
.. This. as so far shown, would be an ex-
pensiye piece of Government machinery,
but Prof. BACON adds to the whitewater
weakness of SUMNIR's plot, by stating that
the National Government having taken
this matter in haud, must 20 through with
IT, and must take care that no mans vote is
thrown out in the counting. and that the
returns are made or the result declared,
correctly; and this, too, It must do by its
own officers. A few years experience OF
elections, conducted by authority and un-
der regulations proceeding from the seat
Of the National Government, would prove
that the destruction of the reserved rights
of the States, and the consequent centrali-
zation of power at the national capital is
identical with the uIrerSion Of liberty.

ES-A At Scranton, Pennsylvania, recently,
little boy of eight years was shut up over
night in coal vault, by n store-keeper
and his assistant, on plea that the child
had attempted to steal ball. After spend
ing a terrible night in the wet and dirt,
lighting the rats off his person, the child
succeeded, about four o'clock in tho morn
ing, in making his way out upon the pave
ment through the coal hole, and fell lnsen-
slble into the arms of his mother, who had
been wandering the streets all night in
search of her boy. The father compromised
with the store-keeper for $500.

"If iron can be imported and sold in this
country at $50 per tun In greenbacks, II

The Southern Negroes During the
Wnr

General IIALPN-MILEs O'REHY-who
figured prominently in the late war ON the
side of the North, in recent number of
his paper, the New York Citizen, makes
the following statement:
IfJudge Kelley had been South during
the war, he could not have the hardihoOd-
not even he could-to speak of the negroes
of the South rs If they had all been loyal to
the Uhited States during the rebellion
The fact is that ninety-iiyc per cent. oi
them were MS faithful to the Confedcracy as
|any average equal number of Southern
whites. They formed the qunrtermaster
commissary, ordnance and pay departments
ofthe rebel working faithfully and
perseveringly at their allotted tasks, al
though not five per cent. of the able-bodied
whites were left ut home to compel them
to this work, had they been otherwise
minded. 1t Is simply II bald, bold, black
falsehood to speak of the Southern negroes
as having been faithful 10 the Union, ol
faithful 20 anything but the rebellion
during the recent civil war"

THE DAY FoarY-EleHr Hours Loro.-
Last week we showed that the first begin
ming of the day is somewhere between
America and Asia. The precise locality
Of that somewhere has not been deter
mined. If the Pacific Ocean were thickly
populated with men, the place of the be-
ginning Of the day would be . matter OF
great consequence. and would probably be
settled by statute. The day would start
from q meridian line extended from pole
to pole, and the longitude of this daytime
would be SO accurately fixed that the sun
might stand astride it and realize para
dox of having one foot in Monday and the
other in Tuesday. Many of the readers
of this will live long enough to hear this
subject discussed in nation councils. re
We propose to show that Monday or
any other week day is forty-eight hours
long; we mean that during the whole of
forty-eight hours, Monday is somewhere to
be found. The Monday Of this city is Of
course twenty-four hours long, but before
and after our Monday there is Monday in
some other quarter. When Monday be.
gins in New York, there have been three
hours of Monday in London, and for three
hours after our Monday ends there will be
Monday in San Francisco. Thus between
these places Monday lasts eighteen hours.
Now if the day line were at our antipodes,
Monday would begin there twelve hours
before ours, and end twelve hours after
ours. Thus, for the space of forty-eight
hours the earth is not rid of Monday. The
fact may be illustrated in another way.
Suppose we were at the day line. Monday
there begins, and in twenty four hours
along comes Tuesday. But just west (half
only an instant before it ended east of the
line. The Monday east of the line is
hours long, and west of the
line is the same length, and in all, Monday
lasts forty-sight hours.-Scientifc Ames-
