OF appearance was established This en-
ables us to predict, with almost certainty
OF verification, the appearance of meteors IN
August and November of each year In the
present month we have been nightly ex-
pecting them, and already we have been
rewarded by the sight of few possessing
remarkable brilliancy. 1t is asserted, and
with considerable weight of scientific argu-
ment, that at certain stages of it's orbit the
earth encounters the fragments of former
stellar bodies, which from some cause I'M
known have been destroyed by a great ex-
plosion OF the planetary mass or by collision
with other stars. These fragments are sup
posed to hang in space. but yet under the
influence of the counterposing attractions of
the sun and the planets, and therefore fol-
low the orbit Of their original combined
mass As the planes of the orbits of the
stars of our solar system do not coincide,
that of the earth must intersect the path of
this nebulous collection at this season, and
the fragments in space come within the influ-
ence of terrestrial attraction. Friction with
our atmosphere while falling toward the
earth undoubtedly creates the heat that pro-
duces the brilliant effects we notice, and thus
for limited period during two months the
midnight sky is illuminated by the fiery
movements of these visitors from another
world

SERGEANT McGIvEN's MURDERER was YES
ferday sentenced to the State Prison for
life, upon n plea of murder in the second
degree. While it is plain that this course
was the best to be pursued under the cir
cumstances the reasons assigned for il by
the prisoners counsel and acceded to by tho
Assistant District Attorney and the Recorder
will seem strange to people who still believe
in the old definition of murder. 1t is evil
dent, from the doctrine Of "premeditated
killing" laid down in this case, that murder
is no longer murder in the majority of cases
under the laws Of this State. IF Kings act,
which followed the recognition of the ne
cessity of killing Sergeant McGiven in order
to effect his escape, was not premeditatcd
killing the law ought to be made to define
whether seconds, minutes or hours are
necessary for the reconciliation which
constitutes murder in the first degree. Our
law of homicide has been SO refined that it
Ia becoming impossible 10 convict oi the
higher grade of the offence, and this case is
only another illustration of the allegation
that changing is played out in New York"

MIR. MARBLES SPLENDID REcoRp.-On one
point Mr. Marble would, as candidate for
Governor, add strength to the democratic
ticket-namely. his views on money He
has expressed himself with his accustomed
clearness and ability on this point THE
existing law promises specie resumption for
January, 1879. If the (Congressional) eau
Gus decides to recommend the repeal of this
promise there is no tongue so persuasive as
to induce the people to believe the demo-
cratic party sincere in it's demand for re-
sumption. We must adhere to the day, and
do better than the republicans in showing
the means, or run the risk Of being believed
no better fitted than the republicans to re-
pair the country's financial system" This
is much stronger ground than that of Tilden
in his letter of acceptance, or even in the st.
Louis platform. We have no doubt Mr..
Marble would have couched the platform in
these words, but there were compromises
necessary to conciliate the West. No COM
promises ere necessary to conciliate New
York. MIR. Marble would 60 into the cam
vass with all the prestige of an unassailable
position on the money question.

We continue this morning the publication
Of Mr.. Henry NJ Stanley's valuable letters
from Central Africa detailing his adventures
and discoveries in that strange country. In
the first Of these letters Mr.. Stanley tells MS
of his visit to the Albert Niyanza and the
difficulties which prevented his explorations
He also confirms the story which Mukamba,
King of Uzige, told Livingstone of race of
white people living in the mountains of Cen
trail Africa. Some of these people accom-
panied Mr.. Stanley in his expedition to the
Albert Niyanza. 1t is surprising story, but in
no way unlikely. The Aztecs were different
race from the American Indian and were as
much q white people as their Spanish sue
cessors. Africa was much easier of penetra-
ton by Caucasians than Mexico or South
America, and it would have been even more
remarkable had no evidences been found of
the existence Of the race in Africa. This
discovery has n peculiar interest, but the
chief value of Mr.. Stanley's letters is in the
proof they afford of the success of his ex-
ploratons He has already undergone many
dangers and overcome many difficulties but
his determination and foresight have always
served him in time of need, and we nav look
forward with confidence to the completion
of his work.

General Butler's financial Remedies.
General Buffers letter consenting once
more to become candidate for Congress ia
one OF the most adroit performances of his
life. He is all things to all men if thereby
ne may secure more votes. On the tariff
question, for instance, it is amusing to SEQ
how he makes himself the cham pion of the
special interests of his district without COM
hitting himself either to protection or free
trade. "a judicious adjustment of the de-
tails OF this legislation, he says, speaking
Of prospective revision of the tariff by the
next Congress, sis very important to the in
dustrial interests of your district, which I
hope / may be able to represent with effect;
certainly, with every interest of nv own in.
tertwined with your own, shall be impelled
by every motive to carry out your wishes in
that regard" In view of such comprehen-
sive appeal to their selfshness the people Of
General Buffers district will not be slow to
understand that the kind of revision of the
tariff which he will favor will be q revision
exactly suited to them and to him. We con-
graduate them upon the fact that his inter-
ests and theirs are 'intertwined." But his
manipulation of the greenback question is
even worthier of bis reputation for adroit-
ness Everybody supposed he was an infia.
ZIONIST, and now it turns out that he
is among the most enthusiastic of
contractionists. Specie resumption, he
thinks, cannot be enforced by law,
and so we presume does everybody
else, but he is ready to pass laws which will
bring about specie resumption. His pana-
cea seems to be a reduction of the rate of in
terest on the public debt and the converti-
bility of greenbacks and the national bank
currency into government bonds at lower
rate of interest than is now paid. There is
much good sense and good policy in this,
but its fallacy consists in the deduction he
would have us draw from his reasoning. The
conclusion he wishes the voters in his dis
trict to reach is that this simple process
would make the paper dollar equal in value
to dollar in gold General Butler forgets,
however, that the greenback is already con-
vertible as he would make it convertible and
that it will now buy better bond at a
higher rate of interest than the one he
would afford. 1t is different kind of con-
vertibility that is needed-convertibility
into gold-and he must be aware that the
problem of funding the national debt at
lower rate of interest is a different question
altogether. General Buffers remedies are
falacious, and we are afraid we shall be com,
PEELED to look elsewhere for the doctrines
which are to save the people from bank
ruptcy and ruin.

and nre on exhibition at prominent
cigar store in Rochester, "where they
have attracted the attention Of large
number of people" There are 'fhe
scalp of the noble Cheyenne, headdress,

Bride" This was sent to Rochester by one
Of our fighting people who killed Yellow
Hand and scalped him. The public display
of this Indians scalp is disgrace to civili-

Tho August Moteors.

Nature works on such a grand scale that
we look forward with the liveliest interest to
any extraordinary exhibition of her power
predicted by science. Whether it be the
progress of the great cyclone from the equa-
torial seas, the violent eruption Of the giant
volcanoes, of which the forewarning comes
in earthquake shocks, or the periodic dis
play Of meteors in August and Noyem-
Der which scientific observation has
taught us to expect, we watch for the phe-
nomenon with increasing interest until we
experience its terrors or enjoy its beauties.
The meteorites, vulgarly termed shooting
stars, which become visible at this season
and later in the year, have been the subjects
of historic record from the earliest
times; the Chinese claim to have re-
corded their appearance many centuries
before the Christian era. However,
although often observed, the meteors con-
tinued to inspire awe in the minds of all
peoples, civilized as well as savage, until quite
recently, when an attempt was made to solve
the mystery of their source and nature. As
