How Lord ROsss's Great Telescope was
Made.

The London Guardian. speaking OF the great
telescope OF the late Lord Rosse, tells how 1t was
made:-
Lord Rossee's speculum Is six feet In dame
yer, ana It's focal distance-that Is 10 say, the
distance OF the point at which the reflected
Image is formed-is hfty-three feet. This neces.
states wooden tube of rather more than that
length and at least seven feet In diameter Let
the reader figure the difficulty of suspending
such tube, heavily weighted at one extremItY
with four tons of metal cast into the shane of a
mirror, provided at the upper end with the
movable galleries for the observers, and the
whole capable OF smooth though limited mo.
tiOn, and he Will IaVe some notion of the easiest
part OF the problem which Lord Rosse had 10
solve. For by far the most difficult part was
the casting and polishing of the mirror itself
These four tons of tin and copper, mingled in
definite proportions, had 10 be cast into the
shape Of an exact parabolOid, and the whole
surface raised afterwards to faultless polish
Three huge iron crucibles, In three separate
furnaces, held these vast masses OF fusing ME tai
which, after three hours exposure TO the heat
were lifted out by huge cranes, and poured into
| the carefully prepared monld.

Tuesday. Dec IT, 1867.
The vote in the House of Representatives
yesterday on the motion of General Butler to
suspend the rules in order that he might have
an opportunity of offering his resolution in
favor of the payment of the bonds in green
backs, may be considered q pretty fair test of
the opinion OF the House on that Important
topic. 1t developed the fact that eighty.three
members were opposed to and ffty Ave ia favor
of the motion. The vote was not political one,
each party being divided on the question. We
do not think that those in favor of the motion
were all In favor of the bill. Some of them
voted for 1t out of courtesy to General Butler.
OF our Philadelphia delegation Judge Kelley
voted aye and Myers, Randall, 0'Neil and Tay-
lor nay. 1t will be seen, by the comparative
strength, that the party in favor of this infringe
ment on the spirit of our national contract Is
small difficulty TO determine as to what is the
sentiment OF the House on various import
ant questions, by reason of the prevalence
of the previous question rule, which virtu-
ally cuts off all debate. But judging from
the vote, we would opine that large majority
oppose contraction and favor the payment Of
the bonds In gold.
The Stock Market was inactive this morning,
but prices were without any material shange
Government loans we're firmly held. '65 5.2Os

issue sold at 1885, slight decline. and old do AZ

The subject of the 20 per cent additional

Withdrawing his letter of recommendation,
and II q vote were taken to-day, Grant stock In
the Departments would be found at a discount.
However much he loses in popularity, he on
that account will be more than balanced by the
approval Of the country for his efforts in favor
of retrenchment. Having cut down expenses
heavily in the War Department, he could not
consistently recommend the payment of mill
lion and half Of dollars as gratuity to clerks
who are now well paid for five or six hours
work daily. 1t is asserted, too, that his
withdrawal of his former letter, recon-.
was induced by the discovery that the Com
mittee from the clerks who waited on him to
secure his recommendation, misrepresented or
misstated some important facts to induce him
to give the letter; but Grant, on finding he had
Dity to Withdraw it. The clerks had Based much

mendation.
The whisky Convention.
The sensational dispatches from here tosome
Northern papers, representing that the distII-
lers have a fund of q quarter of million dollars
or more to corrupt Congress, the press, and the
d1Herent Departments, are all moonshine and
are believed TO be instigated by parties who
want to backmail the distillers, to secure their
silence. The firms represented last week in the
Convention here were among the most respect
able and wealthy of any in the community.
Iney came from all parts or the country,
and resOrted to no improper means to advance
their interests but after deliberating and
agreeing upon certain reforms which their ex-
perience suggested would be beneficial for tue
Government TO adopt they waited on the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue and sub
mitted their views to the House Committee of
Ways and Means, who gave them a respectful
and patient hearing, as they would any other
important industrial interest which might
claim protection at their hands.
The Case of Commodore Meade.
General Meade is here trying to have his
brother, Commodore Meade, retained on the
active list in the navy. A short time since
Commodore Meade was before the Il Examining
Board, who recommended that he be placed on
the retired list. General Meade is understood
to have appealed to the President to have the
action of the Board set aside, and his brother
continued on the active service list.

COMMENTS oF THE LONDON DAILY NEWS.

The London Daily NetUs remarks that the
difficulty raised so gratuitouBly by Mr.. Seward,
obstructs q settlement. Lord Stanley cannot
accept the proposition to refer to any tribunal
the policy OF Her Majesty's Government in
recognizing the Confederate states as a belll-
gerent power. In any reference of the Alabama
claims TO arbitration, Ii must be assumed that
an actual state of war existed between the
Government OF the United States and the Con-
federate States. That point being conceded, 1t
would be for the arbiter to determine whether
there had been any such failure on the part OF
the British Government in its duties as q neu-
tral, as could be deemed TO involve a moral
responsibility on the part of the British Gov
eminent to make good losses of American citi-
OF the same class. This is the purport of Lord
Stanley's despatch.
The Daily NetOS expresses q hope that the
question between the two countries may be
settled before the Democrats-the bitter ene-
mics of England-come into office at Washing
ton
