during the night, which continued increasing,
caused the overflow of the river, which inundated

to save life and property. Groups of women

saved, were crying for help, aud in this extremity
the shipping in port kindly lent assistance and
the women, children aud sick Were taken on

properly cared for and had every attention pa'a

To-day we have the autumnal equinox
that IS. the second time in the year
when the day and the night are OF equat
length. According to exact time the sun
rises at six O'Clock A. Nj. and sets at SIX
o'clock P. NJ, This momentary truce De-
tween day and night occurs when the suns
centre crosses the celestial Equator. IL
occurs in spring about the goth OF March
and in autumn about the Goth OF Septem-
Der. The equinoctial points are those
points in the celestial Equator at winch

ference of which the sun appears to move
during the annual revolution OF the earth)
at the rate of about 50.22. deg. a year,
which is called the procession OF the equl-
noxes. The obliquity ofthe eclIptlc. suffers
a monthly variation, but so slight hat 1t
has not materially altered since creation.
This is proved by the fact that the CHIEF
coast lines and mountain ranges either
coincide with or are perpendicular to the
line separating light and darkness When
the sun is at the s~0Istices.
The season of equinoctial storms is at
hand, and, from now until the middle OF
October we may look for fearful gales
on land and sea. 4 cyclone has already
started on its travels over the usual path
so accurately laid down by the Meteoro-
logical Department Of the Weather Signal

within the past twenty years, been brought
to a high pitch of perfection, and It's study
as illustrating the wonderful and unalter-
able laws that govern the physical system
of the universe, possesses as great an IN"
terest as any within the range OF human
knowledge. At this moment q hundred

make an intensely interesting study
When properly explained it is as simple
as marvellous. At this moment, 10 the

The SOUTH IN CONGRESS.

The Richmond Enquirer advises the South
ern members of Congress to keep quiet and
have but little to do in the arraign-
ment and prosecution of official offenders,
but leave to Northern Democrats the
necessary task of unearthing all the frauds
and crimes Of the past fifteen years of Repub-
lcan rule. =" This course is thought advisa-
BILE in order to give as little occasion as posi-
BILE for the Radicals to shift the issue and de-
calm about "rebels and traitors" For our
part, while we hope and believe that the
Southern gentlemen elected to represent our
people will at all times maintain due self
control, and exercise q sound discretion,
they will speak their true sentiments
with the utmost freedom and candor.
We hope they will denounce, rebuke and
repel every false accusation against the people
OF the South that has been, or that may be
uttered in the House or the Senate. We hope
that every one of them will remember that his
vlndication of his constituents will go before
the people Of the entire continent We want
each and all of them to join in denouncing
the Infamous tyranny and oppression which
have been visited upon the Southern people
by Grant and his plant encourage of scoun-
drels, and while they employ measured and |
becoming terms, We hope their words will |
sting and scorch and blister where they fall.
Those who expect the first session of the
Forty fourth Congress to be placid, calm and I
tranquil one will be much disappointed. It
will, rather, be q session marked by stormy
antagonisms, bitter rscrimination, intense
craftsmanship, and remorseless probing and
lancing of old Sores Caesars message will
probably be fire-brand of war which will
begin as soon as the House is organized for
business.
These fierce and long encounters will divert
attention from the proper legislation required
by the interests of the country, a result
+" hch can only be regretted but can not be
The Radical majority in the Sen
ate will be in no humor to concede favors to
he South, and therefore we need look for
none, unless towards the close of the session
here should be lull in the battle of the
radiators.
In theimpending contest we shall expect
rom our Southern Representatives conduct
consistent with the manly and honorable in
tincts which they inherit, and we hope that

Respecting frauds by duplication and false
gauging he says:
As an indication of the extent of the frauds
above described, | have the honor to report
that documentary evidence is in possession of
this Office which has warranted the seizure of
twenty-four distilleries and thirty-seven rec
titying houses, and implicated over fifty
United States gaugers and storekeepers. This
evidence also shows the issue between July l,
1874, and May l, 1875, of fraudulent spirits
by the duplication of 10000 packages con-
tanning probably !, 200, 900 proof gallons, and
by the aid Of false gauging to the additional
amount of 100000 proof gallons. This, of
course, is but portion of the fraud actually
committed. but in itself indicates the loss of
tax to the Government in ten months to an
amount of not less than S1,650,000.
