"a FANCY SKETCH"

The great conspiracy in the House
against Speaker lIaines again showed its
cloyen foot the other day in most I'M
mistakable manner. Mr.. Cullom whisp-
cred to Mr.. Connolly few moments,
and then Mr.. Connolly whispered to Mr..
10 Daveis Jones. Within minute after
this, Mr.. Jones arose to his feet and said
without blushing: "Mr. Speaker. rise
to point of order" AT this instant Mr..
Clailin. Of Du Page, also arose in his
place holding in his hand Barclays Di-
gest. The danger was imminent; but Mr.
Merritt was recognized by the Speaker,
and in an eloquent speech uncovered the
base intentions Of the conspirators. Mr..
Mooney followed in caustic argument
against the right of the mi
nority to make points of order;
he showed, in a most conclusive manner.
that each point OF order cost the State
several thousand dollars, and drew the
logical conclusion that it was the duty of
the Speaker to prevent the money Of the
people from being squandercd in this
way. Mr.. Jones, while Mr.. Merritt and
Mr.. Mooney were talking, PERSISTED in an
effort TO have the Speaker entertain his
timc-losing point of order. and his efforts
finally resulted in getting the House into
| confusion. Finally order was restored.
The general opinion is that Mr.. Jones,
acting by advice of Cullom and Connolly
was to blame for the disturbance. We
have no doubt he was, and We suggest
that he ought TO be held responsible for
his conduct. His seat ought TO be de-
clared vacant. lie had no right to rise to
point of order. Points of order are. n,
the Tape Worm State Register has iorcibly
said, Radical tricks used by unprincipled
men like Jones in the interest of President
Grant, Gen. Sheridan and Governor Kel
logg. They are more, they are instrument,

to use for the purpose of crushing dowr
the agricultural interests of this State, ant
are therefore very properly discounte-
nanced by Speaker lIaines, whose grea
agricultural heart beats in sympathy will

Recent Investigations of the Noon

There are some reasons which induce
the belief. on the part of not Il few among
the most eminent astronomers. ut the
present day, in the improbablity that the
rotary motion of the moon, by which,
from the earliest records of its appear
ancc. that body has always presented the
same face 10 the earth. was in the begin
ming exactly adjusted so Us to produce
such results: but il. however. the moon
were liquid, or covered by a liquid. the i'm
mense tides produced by the earth would.
in time, produce the effect which is now
seen.
The hypothesis that the equality in
the times OF revolution and rotation of
the moon j. 10 he attributed To this cause
is thought to derive additional strength
from the fact that the satellites of Jll-
pitcr seem 10 follow the same law.
This equality. once established, will con-
tinue forever. In consequence of the ac-
ccleration of the moons motion. and the
consequent diminution OF the lunar
month. astronomers assert that, in q few
thousand years, she will be half month
ahead of the place in which she would De
| ii her month were to remain constant.
and will therefore, be on the opposite
| side of the earth. If her time OF rotation
remained constant during that period. the
| side which il now hidden would then be
presented towards the earth. so that per
sons living two hundred centuries hence
would have an opportunity of unwilling
its mysteries. But analysis has answered
this question, demonstrating that the
hemisphere of the moon, which Is now
turned from the earth, will remain 50 un
changingly.

In 1t PNETRYf

In Harper's Magazine for the current
month is poem entitled "The Angel of

every paper in the United States, fact
that will probably convince Mr.. Harvey
that he is on the highroad to literary
fame. II 1t does MIR. Harvey will surely
be disappointed unless he shall in the flu
turc produce something more nearly re-
semblng poetry than "Thc Angel of the
Twilight" 1t is execrable stuff, and
what it is all about Is one of those mystic
rious things no fellow can find out. II

4 Curious Spectacle.

The Northern visitors who are in
Charleston saw curious and instructive
spectacle few days ago, which conveyed
70 their minds more correct idea of the
influence ofthe Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Constitutional Amendments In the
South than all the pomp of wars therein.
II was the funeral of NH. Nathans. Esq,
ex-Chief of the Charleston Fire Depart
ment. lie lately died in New York, and
his body was brought here for interment.
The funeral was attended by The whole
fire brigade. white and black.
The fire companies are all
volunteer companies. The whites
have the steam engines. and are the
oldest organizations. dating before the
war. This gives them precedence en-
maSse in all professions like that of ycstcr-
day. The black companies were out in
| full force, and exhibited a body of men
who. If they were let alone. would imi-
tate and live like white people. and be as
willing to be led by them in all patriotic
movements as they are in the fire depart
ment. The white assistant-chicf of the
department walked arm in arm with the
black assistant, to the Jewish burial
ground, where the remains of the de-
ceased were deposited, and every one in
the procession conducted himself with
propriety Letter.
