The Difference Between Civil Administra.
tiOn and Military Command.
From the ~. y. World,

From the ~. y. World.
If the Presidency be regarded merely as an
administrative Office, having 10 higher duties
than to execute such laws as Congress has
enacted, or may enact, there may seem a
closer resemblance between il and the COM
mand OF great armies than really exists. Both
the civil and the military Office are positions
OF superintendence; both offices have to deal
with many suboIdipates and multitudes of
details; and the administrative details of
both may seem TO require a superior capacity
for business. But 1t must not be inferred
from these points OF similarity that success
as a general betOkens the kind OF admins
trative ability required in President. AS
soon as we begin to look more closely into
the matter we shall find that, in the nature
OF the duties, there ia no real resemblance.
When General Grant was in active command
OF an army, his business did not consist in
the raising of men and the selection of
officers, but chiefly in directing those officers
and men where they should march and when
they should fight; whereas the business of
the Presidency, considered merely as an ad-
ministratiVe Office consists almost wholly in
the selection of Instruments, and scarcely at
all In prescribing their daily activity. The
duties OF President Grants OWL appOintees
are all prescribed by laws-laws so definite,

Vermont Politics.

The Troy Wing says General Peter T. Wash
burn, spoken of as the republican candidate
for Governor of Vermont, does not belong to
the family that has furnished so many gov
ernOrs and members of Congress to other
States-as well as Minister abroad it might
have added-and adds that ''Vermont has far
abler men, and none better qualified to make q
good chief magistrate" Judging by this
standard it does not require a very able man
to be Governor Of the Green Mountain State.
But it probably means 'few" ADLER. While on
the subject of Vermont politics we may as well
state that the contest for the republican nomi-
nation for Governor lies between General
Washburn, Dudley G. Denison, of Royal
ton, late United States District Attorney,
lawyer Of ability and relative of Chief
Justice Chase, and julius Converse, of
Woodstock, ex-Lieutenant Governor. For
Lieutenant Governor John w. Stewart, of
Middlebury, will probably receive the nomina-
tion and for State Treasurer the present
Incumbent, John A. Page, of Montpelier, will
be renominated OF course the whole
republican ticket will be elected; for
democrats in Vermont are as scarce as
sugar-maple trees tapped in midsum-
mer. The democrats expect to gain in
the Legislature on account of opposition to the
prohibitive liquor law and to the proposition
for the consolidation of railroads passing
through the State. Consolidation seems to be
the order of the day among railroad corpora
tions, and why expect Vermont to be behind in
any radical movement? The election occurs
in September

Here we have striking illustration Of the
Contrast between genuine womanhood and this
impracticable monstrosity of Bloomerism. The
woman, true to herself and her sex, stands as
the victor from one Of the most unequal, diff
cult and protracted contests ever waged by
woman for her rights in any country, while the
Bloomer, hat in hand, goes from department
to department in Washington, asking that some
poor ofice-holder may be turned out to starve
with his family to accommodate her with
petty clerkship, and is rebuhed in jeers and
laughter at every point. She talks Of her prin-
ciples, but it is only the hen jumping up on
the fence, tapping her wings and attempting
to play the rooster in lusty crow.

A BRILLIANT METEOR.

About six minutes past eleven o'clock last night
meteor Of remarkable brilliancy shot across the
horizon at point some ten degrees north northwest
OF Altar or Alpha Aquila, and moved over an arc
OF thirty degrees in q northwesterly direction
Although the night was comparatively clear and
bright the meteor appeared not only unusually bril-
liant. but also Of an extraordinary size. II bore
long train OF fire. and to the naked eye appeared
as large ss o full moon, ana when 1t exploded the
effect was very grand 1t was visible to the naked
eye about five seconds, all the time casting dark
shadow. At first its color was red and afterwards
deep green. In size 1t was fully as large as the
famous meteor Of 1862 and was probably not less
shan thirty miles distant from the earth.
But few persons who saw the phenomenon at frst
supposed it to be meteor. Those opposite the Astor
House were under the impression that the building
was on Gre Others, and particularly those on the
ferryboas crossing the river supposed that the hea-
vens were sufrused with flashes OF lightning. In
deed it was not until the meteor had fairly raversed
the horizon that 1t fully recognized as such On
BURSTING the fragments hurled in all directions, con-
tributed pyrotechnc display to the grandeur Of
what win undoubtedly rank as one OF the most
noteworthy meteors seen In this city.
