UNITED STATES NAVAL OBSERVATORY, |
WASHINGTON, Nov. IA, 1867.
SIR:-I have the honor to submit the
following preliminary report OF the mete-
ORIG shower of this morning:
The display OF meteors was the most brilliant
seen i'll this country since the great shower OF
1888.
In accordance with g request of Professor H. A.
Newton, observations in the northern heay ns for
paralax were made between the hours OF II and
O'Clock; very few, however, were seen till o'clock
These observations re made, and the tracks OF
the meteors, by Messrs. Main, Lindehkahl, Turn
brock and Eitman, party OF assistants OF the
United States Coast Survey, W o kindly volun-
teered their services. Forty six meteor tracks
were mapped down by them
Observations in CONJUNCTION with Professor
Hardness, of this Observatory, at Richmond, for
parallax, were commenced shortly after O'Clock
by the Observatory party, MesSrs. Nowcomb,
Eastman, harrison, DOolittle and Gardner. Ar
engagements had been made, by the courtesy OF
the manager of the American Telegraph, to eX-
change Geographic signals with Professor Hark-
ness the appearance OF each meteor; but
through some diSarr&ngement OF the wires, COM
munication could not be established. One hun
dred and twenty five meteor tracks were mapped
down before half past O'Clock, when the meteors
flew thick that identification OF those seen from
our two stations became hopeless, and simple
counting resOrted to.
One thousand meteOrs were counted III the
twenty-one minutes between 4:l4 and 4:35. After
wards, successive hundreds we're counted III the
following intervals: Am. o.. 5m. Sos; 5m. 35s.;
5n. AS; 9m O3s.; ON, 37s.; I0m. 3ls.; Ism. 2Gs;
| The first thousand being partly counted While
mapping still going on. 1t IS probable that
one-half were not seen; SO that it may be estin1a-
ted that 3 900 really fell in the course of twenty
one minutes. The time of maximum thickness OF
| the shower about 4:2O. This Is two hours la
ter than that given by the European observations
of last year, showing slight change in position
| of the stream.
! Many were remarkable for their briliiancy and
| for leaving brilliant greenish train, which usu
ally vanished in few seconds, but in one or two
| cases lasted several minutes.
The radiant poiut was very well defined, being
in Right Ascension 10 h. H.; Defamation % de-
grees 80 minutes.
Next year the shower, if there be any, will not
| begin until 10 O'Clock i. NJ, Washington time,
and will therefore be seen only in the Pacific
ocean.
have the honor to be,
respectfully, your obt s3ryt,

Much ON THE HORSE in
terest was excited on Fayetteville street,
yesterday afternoon, by the appearance OF
Il Mr.. Harper, seated In buggy drawn by
horse, whose movements were directed
by the motions OF whip, and not subject
to reins or bride. The performance was
in all respects successful one. The ami
NAL was driven up and down town, wheeled,
backed and stopped at will made to veer
right and left, and do other things which
testify of thoroughly broken horse. It
was the excitement Of the day, and for the
time being crushed out of mind all thought
of the election. However, let our people
go up and defeat the Convention propo
sition, and 'Arpers 'orse is not circum
stance in point of tameness to what the
Radicals will be six months from to-day.

Washington Esumors and SpeculatTOns.
The Washington correspondent of the
Press writes

Philadelphia Press writes
It seems to be understood that the Hon.
James f. Wilson, of Iowa, chairman of the
House committee On the judiciary, has
prepared q report against impeachment
His ground will be that not enough has
been found to convict the President of such
crime as is contemplated in the constitu-
ton. The report OF Hon. Thomas Will
liams, a member of the same committee, In
favor of impeachment, is said to contain
nineteen counts, powerfully presented
The other two republican members who
favor impeachment, Governor Boutwell,, OF
Massachusetts, and Judge Lawrence, OF
OHIO, have written separate reports. This
division among the republicans on the lu-
dietary committee leads to the belief that
very little time will be given to the discus
sion of q measure which it is now evident
cannot be carried.
There is very general disposition In
Congress to relieve all the Confederates
who cordially assist in the reconstruction
of the South. Such men as Ex-Governor
Brown, of Georgia, ex-senator A. G.. Brown
and Judge Alcorn, of Mississippi, General
Barringer, of North Carolina, and Generals
Longstreet, Jeff. Thompson and Barksdale
will probably be among the list. MIR: Ste
vens openly expresses the hope that all may
be restored to citizenship who help IN the
good work
Notwithstanding the positive prediction
that General Mcclellan will be offered the
War Department, his relatives declare that
he has not left Europe, but is deliberahpg
about O. tender made to him in London to
accent all important position on one of the
great railroads.
