seconded and the roll was called on the
passage of the resolution.
When this was proceeding Mr. Blaine
left the chair, and taking position at the
Clerks desk, wrote out the brief censure
it was soon his duty to intiict. The vote
was then announced 16l to a. Gen. But
Ter asked and obtained leave to make
personal explanation, in the course OF
which he declared that during his eight
wears service in Congress lie had never
begun personal attack on any man, but
when It man attacked him he had never
lett him until he was sorry tor it. MI
Brown was then called for, and proceed
inc down the aisle he was met III front OF
the Speakers chan and bowed sHghtly
The reprimand was then administered ID
a digniied manner by the Speaker. Mr.
Brown said but a few words IN reply and
then took his seat The House at once
settled down to comparative quiet, and
soon took a recess until tomorrow morn
ing. Throughout the entire day there was
more positive, well-defined division OF
the two political parties than has been OBJ
served for many a day, excepting, OF
coarse, the time during which this question
of civil rights has been before the House.
The Democrats voted and acted solidly in
defence OF their colleague Mr. Brown,
while the Republicans, with but few eX-
ceptons, stood in the attitude of deter
mined adversares.
The excitement which possessed every
body in that vast number OF persons who
witnessed the proceeding is indescrlbable.
The turmoil and confusion on the floor
was not equalled in the days of the pen
dency of the Credit Nlobiler reports, when
the vetes for expulsion and censure of the
deceased Cakes Ames and james Brooks
were being taken. Senator Stevenson. OF
kentucky, says he advised Mr., Brown to
resign or to explain that his remarks We're
made in the heat of debate, or to retract
and apologize for his utterancc, an oppor-
tunity for which was iif orded by Mr.
Lalntrs Wcll-conSidered and impasslonate
remarks Mi Brown has had a rather re-
markable career He has been elected to
Congress four times, but has served less
than two years. He was first rejected be-
cause he was ineligible on account OF age +;
next he was refused admission on account
of political disabilities. and had he been
expelled to-day it is probable that he
would have declined to serve his term in
the next House. He intended to have
avoided the censure finally passed upon
him, but was induced by his friends to
Withhold his resignation and submit to the
decision OF the House

Is the Earth Approaching the Sun

According to Encke's calculations, based
on the transit of Venus in the year 1851
and 1869, the earth's distance from the
sun was 100000 miles. The calcula-
tons conecturally made on the transit of
1874 reduces the distance about 10000
900 miles; thus contracting the earth's
orbit about one ninth, if Encke was cor
rect Other measurements of the distance
have been made, coming down as late as
1868, corresponding reasonably near with
Encke. Seemingly to explain the differ
ence in these estimates and those made on
the basis OF the late transit, it is affirmed
that the SUMS parallax has been gradually
increasing, and diminishing the suns dis
tarce from the earth in the same ratio.
1t is a matter of no alarming import
ance whether the distance of the sun from
theearth has ever been correctly comput-
ed br not But the idea, or fact if it be
SO, that the earth is gradually approach
ing the sun, is a matter Of much greater
Importance Not on account Of our liabil
ity to drop into the fiery mass very soon
or very suddenly. but from the results
that would seem to follow during the pro-
gress of approximation. Upon the sup
position that the earth has approached
some 10 900, 900 miles nearer to the sun
than it was in 1869, it would seem to be
a consequent fact that the earth's orbit
has been contracted about one ninth in
the last 1O5 years Our years are com
puted by the annual revolutions of the
earth around The sun. Now upon assum-
ing it to be u fact that the earth moves
with the same velocity in the contracted
orbit of 1874, that it did in the one of 1863,
does it not follow that the earth's revolu-
ton round the sun would be completed in
q proportionately less time? If not, why
not? If the distance around the sun has
been reduced one ninth part by the con-
traction OF the earth's orbit one ninth part,
the earth moving with the same velocity,
would make an annual revolution in one
ninth less time, which would make the
year 1874 forty days shorter than 1869.
This would seem to be the result, proper
tonately, whether the earth's orbit was
reduced more or less in distance. The
diurnal revolution of the earth would not
be effected unless coming more fully into
the sphere of the suns attraction its mo-
ton should be accelerated thereby. In
that case the length OF days would be
shortened as well rs years But has any
thing OF this kind ever been noticed? 1t
no perceptible difference in time has been
observed in the last 105 years, it would
seem to show that the theory Of the earth's
approximation to the sun at the rate stat
ed, is incorrect. At least it 50 appears to
me. Perhaps this can be explained by
those competent to do so, if there is any
thing in these suggestions worth explain
ing AS for myself, | am more of skep-
tic in these things than an astronomer.
