A Scientific Explanation.

The cold, backward spring weather
which we are experiencing has led to
much surmistng as to the cause Of the
failure Of the e8rth's heating apparatus
to perform its work. In regard TO the
matter cOtempOrary remarks:
Some have supposed that we are en-
ter1ng upon change of seasons. and
the rather appalling theory has been
broached that the arctic region il to
swOp places with the equator. The as
tronOHers have, however, brought
an explanation of the late "cOld spell -
somewhat less disturbing to the nerves.
although not altogether tranuuilizinu.
They say that the suns disc is at pres
ent riddled with holes, in other words
with spots, one of which is of very con-
siderable size. It Is a deep cavity in
Che photo-spere, so wide that the whole
S5rrestrial globe would find room IN it
without touching the edges. There is
Ter, still has one of it's diameters as
and Arago having conceived the idea Of
the number OF solar spO' 8 observed each
year, found on comparing a series Of
twenty five results, that the greater
the number the spots the higher was
the cost Of breadstuffs. This shows that
this phenomena may reduce the heat
OF the sun considerably.
On this theory piece of smoked glass

and in laying in the GOALS or providing
for winter clothing. the first thing in
order will be TO take squint to ascer-
tain the dimensions of the holes IN the

The Democrats elected three Uegisla-
lures last fall for the purpose Of ra & r
ing the counIry TO ita 4apcienb ElOeV"
and bringing back 'sfhe good old DEM
and good government In New York,
the legislature has never bPtn so COR
rupt in al the history Of that corrupt
body. Votes have been cheaper and
purchased Oftener than ever before
A committee was appointed to expose
the villainy, and they report that ale
though there may be sOE8 corruption,
yet they have been unable to find it !
They attempted to establish the vicious
system of supporting churches and
srCtafian schouls with the publ C money
and were only prevented ny the pu 1lIc
clamOr raised against tleiT partial dis
tribution Of their gifts, and the refusal Of
The Protestant Institutions to accept
them. They also voted TO tax United
States bonds and initiate the currency
with more green blacks. In New Jersey,
a Democratic legislature repealed the
registration law, and the law which
closes the polls at sundOWn. In Ohio,
3 Democratic legislature disfranchised
ali the students of colleges and Oth6r
institutions Of learning, and the wOun
d6d soldiers in hospitals. They also
passed a bill declaring that If any man
shall challenge another at the polls he
shall be compelled to show that he is
/ not Of African descent before he is al
/ lowed 20 vote. As family records are
1 less likely TO prevail among Democrats,
| however, we should think our Repub-
I Iican friends might prove that this
weapon can be made to cut both ways.
/ Thus from the record Of one winter, u
may be seen that the Democrats are
violently and iustincJivelY opposed to
hUnesty in legislation, to honesty and
/ fairness at elections, to religious equal
/ iBy and separation of church from STATE,
TO education, to a just and decent treat
ment of Union soldiers, and to equal
riMhGs.-DetT0it Post.

The Alternative.
The N. Y. Tribune commenting on the
chances of Johnson,s aeauittaI saws:

The N. 7. Tribune commenting on the
chances of Johnson's aequittaI says
We can pardon a good deal to the dis
comfort of men who believe that Al
mighty God created them to be Presi-
dents of the United States, and that
they are only kept out of their place by
the perVeTseness of a haTd-hearttd and
stif-necked generation. We are viii
ling to give their feelings the name OF
| "cUnscientiousness," )" or to regard them
as highly-re6ned lawyers in the distress
Of statutes and pleas. But we shall ac-
cept nothing OF this in eXteuuatiOn of a
we have delivered him bound into their
hands. To remand the American Re
public to the custody of Andrew john
son, and to give him, in addition to the
impulses OF his own dislOyal nature, the
triumph of an acquittal, would be to
commit an act of treason only equalled
by that of Benedict Arnold. We have
no fear that this Will be done. We shall
do no Senator, in whom we have conf
dence, the injustice to believe that he is
base enough to court dishon0r, or stOlid
enough to feel that he can make himself
the defender and apOlOgist OF Andrew
johnson, without standing by him in
history as the partner Of his crimes.
This is the comment we make upon
the rumors of The Herald and The
WoT'Ld. The fact that one paper gives
currency 10 stories OF Repu blicau defec-
tion, while the other openly advocates
wholesale bribery as the incentive to
treachery, cOmpels US to say as plainly
as possible how such treachery would
be Viewed by every loyal man. Impeach-
ment or infamy! This IS the Hlterna-
tive OF History, and Senators must
meet it,

ment Legislature, in view of the tact
that the longest session Of a Bepub-
lican Legislature for ten years was one
hundred and tWenty-seven days. And
this was in 1861, when the session was
prolonged to provide for the ezigen-
cies ofthe war-the equipment and
support of troops, &c, DC.

The Defunct Senators.

We are inclined to think that there 8
more zeal displayed in defending the
Republican Senators who betrayed
their trust in the matter of impeaCh-
ment, than there viii be in deuOunCIng
them and that the defense, taken with
the nature Of its source, is more dama-
ging to them. To be Oficiously defen-
ded by those who assailed them so long
as they were Republicans, and faithful
to their country, is calculated to give
them an idea what bad company theiE
course has brought them to.
The Republican party will waste no
breath in denOunclng these men. De-
nuDciatiOn of them is not needed TO
make public opinion. The popular
verdict is fixed. These SenatOrs Will
linger in a moribund state until their
official terms expire, and then they
VIII politically expire. They have bsen
tried and found wanting, and there viii
be No new trial. Tney must have made
u - their minds to try their chances in
some new party organization, before
they cast their votes for the acquittal of
JOhusOn but in this they viii fall
There Will be no faction in the Repub-
hcau party to sustain them, nor to de-
mand that the party shall approve
them, and therefore can be no strife.
They have dropped out of the great
current into the eddies. 1t viii roll on
as powerful as ever, while their move
ments VIII cease 30 have any siRntfi-
canoe, and they will cease to be num-
bered among the living forces.-CiH-
