Here is a neat delusion. Roll a
sheet of writing paper into a tube
one inch in diameter, and hold it to
the right eye, looking through at
any convenient object, keeping the
left eye also open. Place the left
hand open with the palm upward,
against the tube an inch or two
from the further end. I he surpris-
ing effect apparently seen will be a
hole through the hand the size of a
cross section of the tube. Now, in
place of the hand put sheet of
white paper with q hole in it one
quarter of inch in diameter; stare
intently in the tube and you will
see the hole in the sheet of paper
floating in the hole of the tube,
clearly defined by the difference of
Illumination. Each eye obviously
transmits a different impression to
the brain, and that organ, unable to
disentangle them, lands US on the
palpable absurdity of materialized
hole.

Democratic Congressman decline,
almost without exception, to give
publicity to their individual opin-
ions on the present crisis, but all are
mindful of the gravity of the situa-
tion and regard it from a national
rather than a party standpoint
They feel that it is no time for
rash utterances or hasty action, and
that there is something more at
stake than the Presidency. It is
felt that thu very existence of our
present form of governent is in per-
il, and the magnitude of the danger
has made conservatives more con
servative and reiegated mere party
questions to the back ground. This
condition of sentiment is not con
fined to the Democrats in Congress,
but extends to the Independents.

What 1t All Depends Upon.

The Atlanta Constitution Of De
cember 9th contains a report
OF an interview with Senator Cor
don, of Georgia, who returned on
Monday from South Carolina.
When asked what he thought Of the
result Of the Presidential election,
Senator Gordon said:
That depends entirely upon pub
lie opinion at the North. It de
pends not upon the number Of
votes proven to have been cast for
Hampton nor ior the Hayes or Til
den Electors. 1t does not depend
upon any decisions of the Supreme
Court, except SO far as these may
act upon public opinion at the
North. l have some confidence
left, though much shaken, in the
6el ermination of the Northern
masse, to see the rightful COVER
ernment inaugueased at Washing
ton and Columbia; but, unless we
can bring by the Investigations in
the Supreme court such facts to
light as will arouse the Indignation
Of honest Republicans as well as
Democrats, and unless these classes
of citizens promptly and vigorously
express this Indignation, the fruits
of this gigantic conspiracy will be
gathered by the cUnspirators at
Washington. Let me be distinctly
understood. 1t is not "a question Of
votes, for these will be thrown out
bv partisan boards: it is not ques-
tion of law, as interpreted By courts,
for these will be overridden by
force; it is not a question Of the
method Of counting by the two
Houses of Congress, for, upon the
programme which 1 am satisfied
has been arranged. the purpose is
to count in Hayes by any method
It is none OF these, but is simply
solely, a que stion Of how far the
Northern people mean to see this
conspiracy 90 without arresting II
and how much of a protest they
mean to make against the overthrow
Of republican government.

NAVAL RANK.

To THE EDITOR THE HERALD-
In rely to the letter OF 'Naval Oficer'' in your
issue OF the 18th inst beg TO call his attention. and
that your readers to the fact that for Of
years money has been openly raised among line and stat
officers for the purpose Of carrying their nternecin
strife There nothing therefore peculiar in theii
'begging epistles' or in the circular Of the Nava
Academy Committee, beyond the fact that the latter
was CONFIDENTIAL and that it reopened the question OF
rank which staff hoped had been settled by the aci
OF March s. 1871 The points at issue between the line
and staff briefly these:-
l. The line assume proprietary interest In the navy
which the stan deny.
. The naval stan want actual rank in the army
staf.
B. The line deny the right OF the naval stan to actual
rank in the army stan.
4 The naval staff contend that as actual staff rank
works we'll IN the army 1t would work equally well in
the navy
s. Tho line deny the military equality OF the stan,
and stlgmatizo their assimated or relative rank
'humbugn and ''myth.N
g. The stan are opposed to myths and humbugs, and
therefore ask for the same rank as the line.
I. The line fear that in this age OF iron clads and
steam engneers" may get command OF these FLOATING
boxes of machinery"
s. The stan deny that they want any command OF
control, save in their own departments.
.. the line want all the honors and rapid promotion
for themselves and slow promotion for the staff
10 The stan want equally rapid promotion with the
line, and fail to get II by the "six years clause"
IL The line proposed the six years plan in 1864,
granted II in 1871 and now want IT repealed.
II The staT object TO such bad faith and recommend
the golden rule" TO their advorsaries
In conclusion, the question Of stan rank is not TO bt
settled by the views or opinions OF the line, nor by
vtuperative intcmpeate scurrous articles In print
Let the years clause be repealed II unjust senior
officers OF the line, but In tho name OF common
and decency stop this suicidal wariare let all rank be
