Three classes Of difficulties beset Father Clavius
and he was obliged to defend his work In volumin.

centuries second, there were the astronomical con-
sideraions connected with the moons Irregularities
third, there certain ecclesiastical features to

Passover The third class of considerations was
deemed the most important; the second, the least
Hence the calendar was purposely devised to give
for its new moons date later than the actual new
moons one day was added throughout to the mean
moons date, and fractions of days (which had to DO
counted whole days. were used further to advance
the date Consequently the new moon OF the talen-
dar is usually two DAYS, and sometimes three, later in
date than the astronomical new moon. Making thu.
allowance, however, the calendar is marvel OF
accuracy.
All things considered, the arrangement is not -
absurd 1t may at first sight appear. The reverend
fathers OF the Church VINO Dasd oyer ae

The new moon when first seen was doubtless tho
new moon to them, and nothing more. lie l4th
day of the risbls moon brought them very near to
tho middle of the lunation or the full moon, since
the difference between sigh and science Is IN thus
case usually about two days. SO that the Prayer"

correctness the date Of the visible new moon; Bus

cumstance has happened at least twice since the
calendar was adopted Nor is this strange If we con-
slider what must be the differences in tho
periods of body whose distance varies
at times by one-seventh. As a fair instance this
very moon of the present may be cited. From new
moon to full its actual period is IL days, % hours,
81 minutes while tho other half of the lunatiOn--
from full to the next new moOn-will be 10 days, III
Lours, % minutes; the difference between the halves
IF the unation being IL days. Thus the full moon
comes about 10 hours before the average time for
full, counting from new moon; and this has had
much to do with misleading people who calculated
short it is the moon, and not the calendar or the
almanac, that is irregular.

CHARLESTON, s. c. November 29--One
result OF the manifestation OF II deter
minatiun m the part of the national
administration TO support with the bay
onet through thick and thin the iniquit-
les of what is called republicanisni i"
South Carolina is the veiy general dis
pss.H IN Of the negroes to license and out
rage. The fact that the blacks through
out the State are emboldened by recent
events to assault white ladies with u
frequency and ippunity hitherto unpre.
cedented is matter Of common talk here,
though for obvious reason little is said
on the subject in the newspapers. Many
instances could be given Of shocking as.
saults upon white ladies without escorts
in the streets Of Charleston in broad day
light during the present week. The
negro police are not eager to arrest OF
punish the:crimiunls who invariably run
on the approach Of white man. and who
under any circumstances would be hard
to indentify The feeling IN til. com
nunity on this subject Is intense.
A noteworthy indication of uneasiness
in business circles is the purchase to-day
by the two wealthiest merchants ol
Charleston. through their New York
correspondents, of two hundred thous
and dollars in sterling exchange for theiI
individual account.

The latest Radical dodge is consent
to an arbitration Of the electoral countin,
dispute by the Supreme Court; but who
is to give a consent which can give the
Court jurisdiction? One sapient Radical
suggests that the President of the Senate
count in Hayes, and then that the At
ney-GeneIal of Hayes obtain a manda-
mus, or gun warranto or INDUCTION, from
the Supreme Court on Tilden, to compel
him to show cause why he be President.
and then the Court give judgment against
him. The author of the suggestion does
not cite the law, or clause in the Consti-
tuition which gives power to the Court to
to issue such writ. But all this is ido-
tic. One day the Radicals say the Presi-
dent OF the Senate has supreme and cx.
elusive power to orutinize and count the
votes and declare who is elected, but OF
the hext day they confess he has not til,
power. The Constitution has in the two
houses of Congress created a tribunal
and none other is needed. Wortd.

The People Will Triu,m ph.

THE QUESTION whether few negroes
in Returning Boards are to make the
President of the United States would be
considered farcical were it not for the fact
that the leaders of the great party that
have controlled the legislation Of the
country for the last decade have resolved,
it appears, to try to humbug the people
with the belief that such an outrage may
be permitted to be perpetrated upon an
intelligent nation.
1t will not be done. We have too much
confidence in the members of the Ameri-
can Congress to believe that it can be
done. There is some honor yet left in
the breasts of Republican Senators. and
we do not believe they will, in a body,
sauction wrong which would make our
Institutions the laughing stock of the
world.
Tilden is clearly elected and he will
be inaugurated President. We are a
new-a young nation, and of course We
must expect to meet in our course to
greatness some such interruptions 4; but
the people, if they desire to be self-goy-
erned, must rise to the dignity of assert
ing that elections shall be conclusive and
that Returning Boards are not to take
from them the power bequeathed to them
and which they still covet.
We shall get along all right without
war, which would only benefit few
thousand military officers. The people,
if war was the result of our trouble,
would in the end be made poorer than
they are. Our duty 1t is clearly in the
line of peace. We are not to mind Mr..
Grants bluster. He deserves to be dis
placed from the position he is rendered,
by the excessive use Of whiskey and tobac-
90 and the companionship of bad men,
Unfit To fill. He will reap his reward.
1t must be born in mind that Mr.. Til
cen may be inauglrated in New York,
2nd may call an extra session of Con-
c-ess, and the new Senate would have
p-rhaps majority opposed to the candi-
aa,e of The Returning Boards. And fur
her ,ha: all power which Presiden; Grant
rs ceAses On the 4ih Of March. lie has
20 power to install Hayes if he dared at
,npiit. Mr.. Tildens orders will be obey
d even before his Cabinet is confirm
-. We; therefore, think the fears of the
