THE VIEW FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON July 6, 1874.
The third night of the brilliant heavenly per-
Torrance Of "Uid Codger,n as the comet is now
familiarity called, attracted such a crowd OF visitors
to the Observatory as to render it impossible for
the professors TO proceed with their astronomical
observations.
THE NEED OF A SPECTROSCOPE.
Great regret is expressed that Congress did not
be Of any use in the tests to be applied to the
Cogga comet. Nothing can be expected from the
largest telescope in the world, simply because
Congress did not the utility OF a spectroscope.
AS already stated in these dispatches, the only
glass at all serviceable at the Observatory Is
the comet seeker and this Is so small
that person unacquanted with the motions OF
the heavenly bodies can in two minutes time
learn to train and control its movements Yet
out Of the throng OF ladies and gentlemen who
assembled at the observatory tonight, there was
not one who was not better satisfied with peep
at Jupiter and his quartet OF moons than with the
comet, nucleus, tail and all.
''OLD CODGRR'S" APPEARANCE
500 Codger" has never appeared to better al
vantage than tonight Above the nucleus, for
fully degree, the light was intensely bright Tor
c0metary body, while tne tail spread out ike that
OF q peacock, and at times gave all the evidence
OF auroral influence, intensiiylng, then sotening
INTO an almost imperceptible light.
HER LUMINOUS PROPERTIES.
The comet seeker was so arranged That only the
reflection or the comets light fell upon the oo)ect
glass; yet this sufficient to i!iumine the IN
terror OF the instrument distinctly. Later IN the
evening, while the heavens were perfectly clear
and tue night dark, the comet was not so well de-
fined as in a'neutral light. The display or a few
good oy 'Old Codger,' for the chances OF q llne
display Will decrease day by day.

HOW GARRETT WENT TO SARATOGA.

Albert E. Garrett is o salesman In jewelry
house and boards ut No. 1854 West Twentieth street.
Mrs. Mary A. Cornwall. lady possessed OF some
means, boards in the same house with her sister.
On the 20 of July Mr. Garrett called on John
Crouch OF No. liz Macdougal street, and requested
an advance OF $3.50 for immediate use. rendering
as security promissory note, payable three
months after date, signed Albert +. Garrett,
wall. Mr.. Crouch, being friend OF the family and
well acquainted with Garrett, furnished the
amount. Garrett Immediately started for Saratoga
to spend the Fourth, and returned on sunday,
when he was arrested by Onlcer Hillman OF the
Sixteenth precinct, on warrant issued 10y Justice
Murray. Mrs. Cornwall and Mr.. Crouch appeared
yesterday at the Jefferson Market Police Court
and preferred q charge against him OF forgery.

NATIONAL PYROTECHNICS,
The Last OF the Fourth of July Powder
Burned Lost Night.


The display OF fireworks which was postponed
on the evening OF the Fourth in consequence Of
the rain came Off with great success yesterday
evening at Union square, foot OF Canal street
North River. TOmpkins square. Washington
square, Fort Washington, Fleetwood Park and
other places. The crowds which assembled to wit
ness them were by no means so large as those who
turned out on the Fourth, but still the concOurse
OF people was very great, and they were evidently
in a mood to enjoy themselves. indeed the spirit
OF fun and irolic evoked by the celebration OF the
anniversary OF American independence seemed
still to have possession OF the people, and every
one was apparently determined to enjoy himself
well as the occasion would permit and to
be as Jolly aud good humored as possible.
at Union square there was IL very large and, for
the most part, respectable crowd, comprising
large number OF ladies. The pyrotechnc display
was OF the usual KIND, and the evening being calm
and mild had very imposing effect.
AT the foot Of canal street, North River, the
crowd was mostly composed OF worklngmen and
their wives and children, but there was material
difference in the general characteristics.
washington square resembled Union square in
every respect, and so OF most or the other places.
AT Tcmpkins square the crowd was to great
extent German, and the expressions used, OF
course, were mainly uttered III the Ieutonic
dialect.
ON the whole the affair passed Off with general
satisfaction, and every one seemed pleased with
the dsulay,

INSTRUMENTATION MoRoNEY.

Michael Moroney, prawny Celt, appeared be.
fore Justice Murray yesterday morning ut Jener-
son Market against Nellie O'Connor, Colored lady
resident Of No. l4s Thompson street. Misa
O'Connor requested Michael to treat to beer and
the twain repaired to her abode and parto0k Of
several quarts together. When Michael learned
the name OF the lady he was SO well pleased tnat
he prolonged the interview. While awaiting tna
return oil his companion, VINO was temporarily alb
sent, two other colored women entered the room
and asked HIM If he had lost any money. He ex-
amined his pockets and found that $40 were miss
Ing. They then told him that Nellie had asked
them TO hide some money for her. which they de.
clined to do. Moroney procured her arrest al
once and she was held in $1,000 to answer at the
General Sessions.

The pereheon distance Of the commet is about
63,O00OOo miles, or little within the orbit OF

earth's orbit 1t would extend from the head a dis

composed? MY opinion IL we VIII escape IL en-
urely and so VIII the moon.
The tail has been increasing in length lately at
the rate Of some 100000 miles per day. Its rate or
increase is now much greater. and viii within
lew days be enormously greater. The comet Is
large one ana so Is the nucleus which Is very
bright, with disc more planetary than stellar.
Tne tail Is wide IN proportion 10 its length but
that ratio Of width to length is now too rapidly
changing.

Pro cssor ParKhursr has given the subject much
more attention than have, and his opinion Is en-
titled TO great weight. Should the tail increase III

the moon, but unfortunately the sky was cloudy.

that there was less indication OF subdivision OF

The posts are not sufficiently protected since the
