, CLIMATIC OSCILLATIONS,

In summarizing the observations of tie
Scottish Meteorological Society for the last
year, Mr.. Buchan calls attention to the
fact that the rainfall has been greater IL
four inches than in snyyear since accurate re-
cords have been kept, which is over sixty.
At Castle Gordon in Banhshire, a rain
gage has been in use ninety years; and the
excess in the last tGelve months above an
average was six inches. Mr.. Buchan traces
this precipitation mainly TO the Gulf
Stream that crosses the Atlantic, as it af-
fects the climate Of all the west of Europe.
But has any thing happened TO either IL
crease or decrease the temperature of the
vast ocean river? How could the Gulf
Stream cause four inches more rain water
to fall in Scotlond in The year 1872, than
has fallen in ninety years before? What
more can be said in explanation of the
phenomenon, than to state the fact, that it
is wholly exceptional in its occurrence.
The Gulf Stream is no new power 10 the
world, and should, apparently have opera
ted as efficiently in all preceding years as
in the last one.

or the other, but judge every question on
its merits, aided by ell the light of history
in the past, and all the facts of the present.
A federal constitution as unstable as Wa
ter, often dashed into foam, and dissipated
in invisible vapor, would have small value
even for a day. As 1t is the highest Wis
dom of every parent to set good example
before children, SO it is the duty of every
political party to make record in its his
tory, so pure and patriotic, that its traditions
shall be yenerated in all after time. There
is a shocking lack of honesty in public
servants, because the people have forgot
ten that honesty has any value
No one was appointed to Office by the foun-
der of American DEMOCRACY without the
searching inquiry: ais be honesp Is be
capable'", Should this test of fitness go
out of use because it is old, and TRADITIONAL
The doctrine of local government in the
several States, and of State-rights, so indie
spensabIe to protect such government in its
vigor and virtue, is now traditional. 1t was
a part of the Constitution made by such
Federalists as Washington and Hamilton.
1t is no part of the Radical Constitution be-
gotten in the asperities and violence of civil

COAL AND IRON

From the census report it appears that
the mineral product of Pennsylvania in'the
last census year was $76,2O8,3 800; while
that of all the other States and territories
was but S76,39O,604. These figures are
very creditable to Pennsylvania intelligence
aud enterprise, and should encourage Ten
nesseeans TO perseveIe il developing the
mineral wealth Of their State. Our natural
advantages for manufacturing operations,
as compared with those of Pennsylvania,
deserve consideration. Iron ore is so much
cheaper and better in Tennessee that it is
sent to Pittsburg for consumption. This
fact has great significance in its bearing on
the future and cheap manufacture of iron.
The coal and heat required to produce q
tOn of iron costs not over half as much in
Tennessee as In Pennsy lvania. Suppose
one wishes TO apply coal, iron and steel
machines TO the manufacture of thousand
articles made partly of wood and partly OF
iron, like a pow. Where can you find bet.
GCL Jan AOA H-C" pSal1lb GuG handles, CT
more of it, than in the extensive forests of
Tennessee? Timber and trees for all kinds
of lumber abound in this State. They sre
a crop of inestimable value, already grown
and ready for harvest. Tennessee should
manufacture farm implements for half of
all who cultivate American soil.
If coal can be sent to Europe fro m Balti-
more at a profit to all concerned; why not
an ocean iron steamer from Tennessee, all
the parts to be put together, Ike dressed
slaves in a barrel, or the parts of cooking
stove, after they reach their destination
The frames of houses got out on the banks
of the Holston and French Broad have
been set I'D in Louisiana, and it would be
difficult to say whs! fabric from watch
spring to steamship, made of steel or
iron, can not be proftsbly manufactured in
Tennessee and exported. With coal and
iron of remarkable purity, and in fabulous
quantities, we have soil and climate that
will feed and clothe laborers cheaper than
can be done in Pennsylvania or England

CoRRUprIoN AND PERFDx.

A few days ago the Chicago Tribune,
journal that has done valiant service fol-
the Republican party in times past, said:
"a year ago, the Republican party issued
a platform at Philadelphia full Of loud
sounding promises to check corruptions
and introduce reforms in the administra-
ton of government. How have the promi-
ses been kept? Never before has there
been year so fruitful in corruption; never
has there been q year in which so little
real reform has been accomplished. Con-
gress has mainly occupied itself in the in
Vestiga.ions of the most shameless and I'M
deniable cases of bribery, fraud, and cor
ruptioD, and, after showing itself incompe
tent or unwilling to punish them, closed its
session by a deliberate robbery of the Uni
ted States Treasury in voting itself back
paw, after voting an annual increase in ex-
penditure to the amount of millions. The
Republican party has therefore, publicly
proclaimed its inability to perform what it
promised, being itself too far sunk in cor
Iuption to be capable of throwing them
off,"
The New York EUening Post, one OF
Grants ablest supporters in the late Presi'
Dental campaign. says in its issue Of
April 8:
oThe selfish and desperate schemers who
have been plotting at Albany to get posses
sion of the official patronage Of this city
have succeeded in but one thing; that is,
in sacrificing their party, in its own name,
to their particular greeds. They brand 1t,
In the first place, with an indelible mark of
dishonor, by forcing it to violate its most
solemn pledges, and to treat its faith, prof
fered to other parties, as so much idle
wind. In all history, and even among saw
ages, the faith-bre2ker has been stigmatised
as an offender above all others, so that even
those who profit by the treachery are apt to
poiut the finger of scorn at the traitor.
Now such is the position the Republican
party is made to occupy by its professed
friends, but its real betrsyers. 1t went into
the election last fall, in connection with
other organizations, animated by the gen.
eral sentiment of reform; it procured for its
candidates thousands upon thousands OF
votes even from its hereditary enemy, the
Democratic party, upon its non-partisan
professions, and now, having been success
full by these means, it kicks over the ladder
by which it climbed intopower. The char
ter before the Senate is bold and shame
less avowal that it means to forfeit its
plighted word and betrsy the expectations
built upon its honor"
This is the character of the leaders of the
Republican party every where, and yet the
masses of the party permit themselves to
be led by such men as though they had ne
eyes and brains Of their own.
