BALLOON ASCENSION.

Ii the present balloon undertaking results
in entire failure, it will at least have had the
effect of renewing the popular interest in the
science or art OF aeronantics. The New York
Graphic, under whose auspices Prof. Wise lie
planning HE voyage, contains, day after day,
interesting letters on the upper currents and
kindred subjects from some Of the leading
scientific men of the country. Thus, in lis
issue of the 9th, Prof. Joseph Henry, of the
Smithsonian Institute, says all the observa-
tons lead to the conclusion that there is a
motion Of the atmosphere from west to east.
The only trouble is to find means to keep the
balloon at a sufficient height for sufficient
length Of time to make the journey. He
suggests that Prof. Wise should frs, make a
trip across the country. To this Prof. Wise
replies that the balloon voyage OF 1859, from
St. Louis 10 Jefferson county, New \ Ork,
settled all that. Moreover, in reference to
the subject Of the great wes.-east current, he
says the Gulf s,ream creates a current that
will take him just where he wants to go.
As to the time his balloon will retain its
buoyant power he cites the following evil
dence:
The Gifiari balloon, which made ascen-
-ions from AsLburton Park. near London,
about three years ago, was fully inflated four
teen days before making her first ascent. At
the end Of that time she went up with twenty
five people; and, being Captive" balloon,
she carried up three thousand feet of cable.
They used a ten horse power engine to wind
it up. Well. after they came down again,
.he was kept fast TO ner moorings for twenty
Eve days, At the end of which she made a
second ascent with crowd of people. Then
when they came down the balloon was again
moored, and they expected to make another
"Trip, but il happened that the cable slipped
of the pulley. between it and the block, and
the result was that the cable broke, and the
balloon went oH-nobo'y knows where.

CONGRESSIONAL.

The proposition of Mr.. Butler to raise
the salary of the President and other officers
of the government was defeated in the House
by vote Of 81 to 119. The Virginia Re-
publican members voted for and the Con.
servatives against it. The whole thing was
a very decided defeat for Mr.. Butler who
had been more officious in the matter than
the persons who would have been benefited
by its passage. The Senate took up the
House bill extending the Southern Claims
Commission to IT, and after amending
it, 80 as to extend the time only to 1876,
passed it. Mr.. Machen was seated as the
successor of Senator Davis of Kentucky
The House passed unanimously bill re.
