REMARKABLE PREDICTING.


Every evening hundreds of our fellow-citi-
Zens are to be seen Oh their housetOps and at
other points Of observation endeavorIng to dis
cern the Whereabouts in the heavens of the
celestial wonder that is now attracting the at
tentiOn of astronomers and scientists. Some
seek out the North Star, and by drawing a
line downward toward the horizon discover
something that looks like the object sought
for. Others take the handle of the Dipper as
a starting point, and by triangular sort Of
calculation think they have made out the little
heavenly visitor-a visitor which is not So lit
lie after all, for is tail, according to a recent
calculation, is already 3,OOO LOO miles in length
1t will only be necessary for our star-gazers to
keep their eyes open and turned heaVenward
for q short time longer in order to ascertain
whether the sapient predictions regarding the
comets (Coggia's) coming and going and its
behavior while visiting US are verified or not.
Soon the Polar star will lose its interest for
them, and neither Of the clippers" will be of
value as means of taking a knowledge of the
stranger from the ell of astronomical sci
ence.
Abcut the 14th of July, the comets head
will have passed beyond the northwest horizon,
going out Of the range of vision before night
fall. The difficulties of watching it will in
crease rapidly after that date. The tail Of the
visitor will be visible in its greatest length
about the 10th instant, when It will reach from
just beyond the horizon in the northwest to
the Polar star. 1t will then have the appear
ance Of tapering of at the end. The taill will
afterwards broaden until It fills large part
of the northern section Of the heavens. Al
though so large, it will not be very conspicu-
Gus, but will be seen like the Milky Way or an
immense thin white cloud. During these
changes in its form the astronomers Will carry
on a series Of experiments to determine what
is the structure CT constitution of the tail.

THE SUBJECT.
Correspondence Of the Republican
ANNAPOLIS, July 2, 1S74.-The long-ex-
pectcd opinion of the Court of Appeals, the
highest tribunal in the State, in the McBlair-
Bond case, which decides WHO is adjutant gen.
eral was filed last night. This cause came
from Gov. Groome, in April last, appointing,
with the consent of the Senate, Gen. Bond to
be adjutEnt general in place Of Gen. McBlair,
removed Gen McBIair, who was appointed
by Gov. Bowie, and then reappOinted by Gov.
Whyte, denied the right Of the Governor to re-
move him except in pursuance of the sentence
of a court-martial. After both generals had
occupied the Office some days General Bond
locked the other general out, and General Nc
Blair petitioned the Anne Arundel County
Court to give him mandamus to Oust General
Bond. The latter denied the formers right to
the writ, and urged that under the fourteenth
amendment Gen. McBlair could not hold the
office for he was disabled, since he left the regu-
lar army for service in the Confederate States.
The case finally came before Judge Miller
for decision, and he decided that the Governor
had no right to turn General McBlair out, but
that he could not grant McBlair's petition, be-
cause of the disabilities imposed upon him by
the fourteenth amendment, and notwithstand-
ing he had had his disabilities removed after
his removal from office, yet, as the act was not
retroactive, he could not secure the Office. The
decision to-day rests only on the fact that the
Governor had the right to turn General Nc
Blair out, and, therefore; considers it unneces-
sary to consider the question Of disabilities.
The Judgment below was affirmed, although
part Of the opinion reversed the decision of the
court below. General Bond, therefore, retains
the office. Both generals are Democrats and
both served in the Confederate army.
The Governor and staff, Adjutant General
Bond and others will leave Baltimore on Satur-
day afternoon for Camp GroOme, Point Look
out, to review the Sixth Maryland regiment,
now encamped there.

VIEWING THE COMET.

The comet is very popular among young
lovers, and they never tire of the heavenly hunt
but endure with astonishing resignation the
constantly recurring collisions consequent upon
the sudden movements Of their heads in opPC-
site directions. Now and then the young fel-
low is sure he sees it, and then in the excite
ment Of the moment he passes his arm about
his companions neck, and with his hand under
her chin raises her face towards that point Of
the starry armament where he thinks he has
discovered the celestial wanderer. Full OF en-
thusiasm the girl remains gazing in this posi-
ton long and earnestly, the silver moonlight
Illuminating her countenance with radiance
that gives to every feature an angelic charm,
and suggesting the idea that she herself might
be beautiful star, moulded into human form
and sent upon the earth for the delectation OF
mankind But at this interesting point Of the
search the voice of a sleepy and unromantic
father penetrdtes the shadows of the garden
-"Ja-a-a-nc it is ten o'clock," and the charm
is broken.

Association was held July 2, 1874, for the pur.

A VERY SUDDEN DEATH.

Mr.. Andrew Forrest Altemus, for a number
of years employed as clerk in the wood and
coal Office of William Guinand, near the foot
of Third street east, had been complaining Of
being Unwen for several days past, but Wednes-
day he slightly recovered, and was in good
spirits. Yesterday morning he came to his
minutes thereafter Mr.. Guinand, finding that
he was choking, Immediately PLACID him in a
carriage and sent him to O physicians. DR..
McKim not being at home, they started to
another Office, but on Seventh street, between
and K, he died. 1t is thought his death was
caused by an affection of the throat Mr..
Altemus was about thirty years Of age, resided
on the corner of Eleventh street and South
Carolina avenue, and had many friends, espe-
cially among the Odd Fellows and Nasons, Of
which orders he was member.

REPORTS FROM THE NATIONAL CON
VENTION.

VENTION.
The delegates to the recent international
convention Of the Y. II. c. A. gave full and
deeply interesting report of the meeting re-
Gently held at Dayton, Ohio, at Lincoln hall
last evening.
The convention was eminently successful
and profitable one, although not so large in
numbers as some others have been.
The reception committee met the delegates
as they arrived, and at once, by their cordial
and Christian kindness, made all feel perfectly
at home. Delegates were present from all
over the Union, and from the provinces OF
Canada, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from
the lakes to the Gulf. A marked feature Of
exceeding interest was the presence Of some
fifteen delegates from the Southern States,
from associations not before represented since
the beginning Of the war. Above the plat
form IN the large music hall the American and
British flags mingled their folds, under which
was the short but mighty motto, which seemed
TO give key-tone to the whole convention,
and breathe its spirit into all hearts, "Jesus
Only" The executive committee reported
over 900 associations now on the list. 1t was
decided to hold the next convention at Rich
mond, Va, although the Georgia delegates
were very anxious that il should be held with
them at Augusta, but agreed to compromise,
with the earnest request of the Richmond
After next year the conventions are to be
biennial. rather than annual.
The secretaries conYention, held three days
before the general meeting, was one OF great
interest. sixty-four general secretaries are
now employed in the work, giving their whole
time to It. The venerable DR.. Plummer, Of
South Carolina, was a great addition to the
convention, and the large number Of Southern
delegates was one Of the fruits of the visit OF
Mr. Hall TO the South.
The study of Gods word was one Of the most
important and excellent discussions OF the
meeting.
The honorable secretary Of the Manchester,
England, association presented forrib!c and
excellent paper, and much discussion was had.
In Manchester Mr.. Smith, who is the model
secretary Of the world, has sixteen Bible classes
each Sabbath. Our Y. NJ. c. a. friends will
have the privilege Of hearing Mr.. Smith, as he
is to visit and address the association here.
The interest Of the home association must be
greatly increased by the visit Ofthese delegates.
The reports were made by J. W. Duvall, r.
G. OIcott, Alex. Bielash and Geo. A. Hall,
the remaining delegates not yet having re-
turned.

THE CFYTRF.HIRKFT

The butchers attending the Washington
Centre market were few in numbers yesterday
morning, showing that most Of the butchers
are firm in their determination not TO occupy
the stands and pay the bonus demanded.
There was a much better attendance of dealers
in other commodities than meats, but the Gb-
sence Of so many butchers gave an air Of dull
ness to the usually noisy place. The officers
of the market company stste that they are not
discouraged, and in a few weeks they will
have enough dealers from other cities to oc-
cupy all the stands.

and a bore, and all amusemenJs flat and un-
profitable to the victim OF indigestion, bilious

nerves which always accompany them. The
shortest, surest, safest way to get rid Of these
evils, and of the mental dependency which
grows out Of them, is to tone and regulate the
