Oats hy Weight,

A French chemist, NJ. Grandeur, has
been ANALYSING number of samples of
oats TO determine whether those of light
weight are of equal value, pound for
pound, TO those that weigh heavier in
proportion to measure. The result
showed. in fact, that the composition of
light and heavy oats of various kinds
when taken in bulk is almost identical.
There were. however, individual cases
in which considerable differences were
found TO exist, notably one in which the
lichtest specimen out of the ,wcniy-six
that were tested, showed a higher nutri-
tive value in proportion 10 weight than
either Of the others.
Is confirming the general conclusion
above stated, ii is also mentioned that a
French postal contractor has tried a sim
liar experiment. in practical way. Sc

two teams OF twelve each, in all respects
alike, and undergoing precisely the
same work, one team WAS fed for Elk
months on the lightest cats that could
be procured. weighing 4 lbs. per hec-
toliire; sud the other for the same time,
on the heaviest Dbtainablc, each hcctoll-
ire of which. weighed NJ lbs. Al the

terence could be detected in the appear

all in excellent condition, and good
working order The oats, OF oonr-e.
were fed by freigh and not by measure;
AID the conclusion we reach is therefore
that weight and not measure should tie
the standard by which they are bought
and sold.

MILK and Justice.

1t is pity that an attempt to enforce laws
made to prevent the adulteration of articles
of food should end in the infiction of a
punishment that must appear unjust to any
rational observer for such result defeats
the operation of the law by dlscouraging
prosecutions, and thus directly furthers the
villany of the people who thrive by the
adulteration of food. In one case the jury
was satisfied that the milk examined was
adulterated with water. They did not find
that it was adulterated by the defendant.
They did not even find that he knew it was
adulterated and. in view Of the testimony
impeaching the tests made by the authori-
ties, it is evident that q man might fairly
have doubts on this point The culprit sold
the milk as he bought it-unaware that it
was not good and pure milk-and he is sem
fenced to incarceration and to pay o fine
that is heavy for one engaged in small
milk traffic. This is certainly unjust, as it
imposes upon one man the penalty for the
offences of another, without even the pre-
tence of completely; and much as the people
desire to have pure milk we believe they
would rather not have it if it cannot be OBJ
tained without incidents like this.

Rapid Transit in tho Courts.

The friends of rapid transit-and they in
clude ninety nine one-hundredths of the peo-
pie of New York-wilhbe we'll pleased with
the decision of the General Term Of tho Su-
premo Court, delivered yesterday by Judge
Brady and concurred in by Chief Justice
Davis, granting the application of the Rapid
Transit Company for the appointment Of
commissioners to carry out the provisions of
the law of 1875. Judge Daniels dissentcd,
but the controlling opinion is so convincing
that it would seem improbable that IN ap-
peal would be taken to the court Of last re-
sort, were it not for the suspicion that the
money Of somo of tho wealthy horse car COM
panies is used to make q factious fight
against rapid Transit TO the bitter end.
Judge Brady argnes that the Gilbert Ele-
waited Railroad Company was created prior
to the law of 1876, with oil necessary pow
ers, none OF which were warped or do
stroyed when the last act was
passed. The provision in the law
of 1875 admitting existing corporations
to the benefits of that law when the routes
covered by their charters should be deter
mined upon by the Rapid Transit Commits
sioncrs was, rs Judge Brady says, designed
to prevent any conflict between existing
but unexecuted charters and companies to
be formed under the new act, "nnd at all
events to secure to the people the advan-
tages of an elevated road over the route Sc
lected."
The people Of New York desire rapid
transit. The law was intended to secure it
to them. 1t was framed in conformity with
the new provisions of the constitution; the
construction was legally and justly awarded
70 the present builders Of the zQad, and tho

Lot Us Have Another Cable.

The proposal to lay another Atlantic cable
by popular subscription is regarded with
such favor that the amalgamation of the pres
ent cable companies would inevitably result
in the formation of new company and the
establishment of new cable The scheme is
not only feasible, but attractive. The two
millions necessary to the accomplishment Of
the project, or even four millions for two
lines of cable, could be promptly raised
without great difficulty. The newspapers
and mercantile establishments most in
terested in the establishment of sharp
competition and low rates are generally
wealthy and would subscribe literally for
an independent cable. We would gladly sub
scribe toward this object, and we are pretty
we'll assured ofa similar disposition in other
quarters. The shares in an independent CO
operative company would find a ready mar
ket. Shares of one hundred dollars each,
bearing four or fivep per cent interest, with the
prospect of the accruing dividends, ought to
bepopular and profitable investments. Let
the friends Of this project call meeting
and take measures for securing permanent
cheap rates and putting an end to monopoly
and o high tariff
The New York herald., 1876-12-29

only opposition comes from few property
owners who enormously suppose that they
are to be injured by the improvement, and
from the interested horse car companies,
which desire to continue to make enormous
dividends out of their inconvenient, unac-
commodating lines. The proposed struc-
ture can now be seen on some portion OF
the route, and the people can judge for
themselves Of the comfort and advantages it
will afford them when completed. There
may be individual sufferers from the
improvement, but this is always
the case in great public works
Private interests must give way to the
public good. Judge Brady says:-"Rapid
transit is one of the objects of our
municipal life which our people regard as
of great importance. 1t involves public
improvement, and public Improvements al
ways involve sacrifice. The greatest good of
the greatest number is justly the grand pur-
pose of good government. and the compara-
lively few who are injured are required to
submit to the laws of their rulers" Judge
Brady's common sense is as sound rs his
law. The decision enables the work to be
pushed forward, and it is to be hoped that
no further technical distractions will be
countenanced by the courts.

The Gettysburg's Coral Reef.

We print in our cable dispatches to-day
some further particulars of the attempt to
locate and survey the extensive coral reef
recently discovered in the Atlantic and
about one hundred and twenty-five miles
west of Cape st. Vincent, Portugal, by the
United States ship Gettysburg. 1t is very
remarkable fact that this danger to naviga-
ton was not found before, especially as it lies,
as it were, right in the course of vessels
bound south from English and French ports
to the Mediterranean via the Straits Of Glib
raltar, and Of ships making the Cape
passage or trading between Southern Eu-
rope and ports in North and South America.
That thousands of sailing vessels and
steamers should have passed this reef with
out observing any breakers favors the
theory that it may be of recent
origin and due to submarine up
heaval, the result of volcanic ac-
ton. The statement that breakers were
observed near the present site of the reef by
Spanish captain half century ago is not
inconsistent with the volcanic hypothesis
Submarine mountains are known to form
suddenly, and as suddenly to subside, only
to be again upheaved, and these changes
have been noted as occurring from time to
time in about the same locality. tits prob
able that within the area of tbe reef n GEN.
tral depression will be found representing
crater. In any case immediate steps
should be taken to obtain the fullest infor-
nation regarding this danger to interna-
tional commerce.

ardent admirers may well regret that he has
ventured in path where even great excel
lence might be forced to unfortunate COM
PARSONS, and where it is dangerously easy to
be turgid and commonplace without know
ing 1t. He has demonstrated fellowship
with Tupper in the fact now evident that
they can both write bad plays; and has
proved that the quality of good dramatic

and in the Senate, Mr.. King, of New York,
wished to provide beforehand for any ques-
ton which might arise in joint meeting.
Several gentlemen agreed with him; others
holding that the question could only be de-
cided after the votes from Missouri were
legally known to the joint meeting. But no
Senator objected on the ground that the
houses had no power to exclude or to 'exam-
ine' the vote, or that the Vice President had
this power. In the House the same question
came up and Mr.. Randolph, as on previ-
Gus occasion, asserted that Congress had
no power to consider the vote of State.
Mr. Clay said the constitution required of the
two houses to assemble and perform the
highest duty that could devolve on public
body-to ascertain who had been elected by
the pesple to administer their national con-
Germs. In case of votes coming forward
which could not be counted the constitu-
ton was silent but, fortunately, the end in
that case carried with it the means.
The two houses were called on to
enumerate the votes for President and Vice
President OF course they were called on
to decide what are votes. Mr.. Clay said,
the committee, being morally certain that
the question would arise on the votes,
in joint meeting, thought it best, ito
give it the go-by in this way. Suppose
this resolution not adopted, the Presi-
dent of the Senate will proceed to open
and count the votes; and would the House
allow that officer singly and alone thus vir-
tually to decide the question of the legality
of the votes If not, how, then, were theyto
proceed2 Was it to be settled by the
decision of the two houses conformity, or of
the two houses separately? One house
would say the votes ought to be counted,
the other that they ought not; and then the
votes would be lost altogether" The resolu-
ton was adopted.
Here we must rest for to-day, but we
shall pursue the subject further on another
occasion. We do not doubt that Senator
Morton has oil these authorities by heart,
and that upon them and others like them
he founded his bill of the last session.
