LOOK Born WAYs.-The Sacramento Union
cannot see with what consistency the Radical
Senators who voted to restore Stanton TO the
War Office, last February, now refuse to vote
to convict the President for having removed
him from that Office. Will that paper give its
opinion Of the consistency Of those Senator's
Williams, Sherman, Edmunds, and others
who, when the Tenure of Office bill was before
the Senate on its final passage over the Presi-
dents veto, declared that the bill did not con.
template Cabinet removals, but who now vote
to impeach the President, on the ground that
he violated the Tenure of Office law IN at
tempting the removal OF Stanton? Take a

THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE.

A regular meeting of the Institute, which was
called for last night largely attended, and taken
a whole, was Of the most entertaining OF the
year. On the adoption Of the Finance Committees
report from which it appears that the receipts for
the last quarter were $7277, expenditures !,O64.
with balance in the treasury OF $lO4s the audience
were amused for few minutes while waiting by
an animated discussion upon the rules OF order,
in which the chairman and others ndulged. Shortly
after eight O'Clock b. Waterhouse Hawkins the natu-
raist, presented himse1 and by the aid Of diagrams
and the canvas delivered interesting and highly
scientific address in explanation Of the bone recently
found near Hunters Point. The speaker entered
into minute description Of the anatomy Of the mas
todons. He declared that the bone In question
was that Of an elephant, and that at one time
in the history of this country the elephant
was an inhabtant He described the various species
OF elephants and was satisfied that this bone be-
onged to the mastodon Species from The fact that Its
anatomy showed it to be OF that species whose tusks
inclined downwards, as Is the case with the African
elephant. About five inches Of this bone had disap-
peared, and from its appearance the bone had not
been rolled there washed there, and explorations
would doubt result in the discovery Of the entire
mastodon. To attempt to give anything like a just
report of the address without the aid OF diagrams
is futile The audience were highly entertained and
a unanimous vote of thanks was rendered the lee
turer.
