successor, and the Senate thus called will
not adjourn except at its own pleasure
The House will necessarily adjourn sine
die on the 4th of March by the expi-
ration of its term Of service, and It's
successor will not meet until the
following December. The republican Sen
ate will not give Presidential claimant
whose title it repudiates an opportunity to
appoint officers during recess. 1t will re-
main, if necessary. in continuous session
from the 5th of March until the first Mon
day in December, and meanwhile Mr.. Tilden
will be utterly powerless if the Senate re-
fuses to recognize him as President. The
only way to get his claim recognized
against the official certificates from
the three doubtful States is by max
ing out SO strong case of fraud that the
Senate will not dare to face righteous and
indignant public opinion. That kind of
public opinion cannot be created by vapor-
ing menaces, but only by solid, unassailable
evidence By the very nature Of the case
such evidence is unattainable until
after the returning boards shall have
acted, and grand flourish of un-
proved charges in advance of the facts
evinces self-defeating zeal not according
to knowledge" 1t is not mere charges, but
charges supported by specific and detailed
proofs, that can have any influence on the
public judgment.
In opening the certificates the President
of the Senate must necessarily be guided by
the evidence of official action in the States.
Just as he opens the official returns from
New York or Massachusetts because they
come to him certified in the regular way so
must he also open the returns from South
Carolina, Louisiana and Florida, on the
same color of regular State authority. If OBJ
jections are made they must be made by
members of one or the other branch of Con-
gress present at the counting of the votes !;
but objections so made will amount to moth
ing unless supported by q strong array of
incontrovertible facts, which facts must
have been previously gathered and spread
before the country to make any impression
at the time Of the count. With everything
against them except the intrinsic strength
of their case the democrats will act like
simpletons if they weaken it by bluster, by
threats or by any irregular or extra-legal
proceedings that tend to excite alarms for
the public tranquility.

Harvard and Yale also played . game =
Hamilton Park, New Haven, on tho same
day. which ELECTED great applause from the
crowds that looked on. Other colleges
are forming cricket and base ball clubs, and
their example is being followed by clerks
and business men in various parts of the
country. We are on the edge Of o new era,
in which sick headaches, neuralgia, paral-
ysis and premature debility will fold up
their tents and silently steal away.
Polo is also game which might with evil
dent advantage be introduced into the
cavalry service. To be sure, one risks q
blow or fall now and then, and it may not
be particularly pleasant to constitute ones
self mattress for horse to lie down on;
but these are only incidents in a game which
gives q man steadiness of nerve, prudence,
courage and perfect control of his horse,
which may be brought into very desirable
requisition some day. Anything which
makes one more vigorous and more quick
sighted to use m opportunity and gives him
larger command over himself has its value.
We give honor to every attempt to tighten
the hard work of life by making men broad
shouldered and large chested enough tr

The CHINESE PRoDLEM.-We print else
where letter from San Francisco
which gives some important and re-
markable testimony, taken before COM
mittee of the California Senate, concern
ing the habits and practices of the
Chinese now settled in that State.
A committee of Congress has made similar
investigation and is to present its report to
Congress The evidence concerning secret
tribunals among the Chinese, which UNDER
take to punish and even to assas-
sinate Cinnamon who have broken
their rules, is very curious. These societies,
MS they are called, seem to assume oil the
powers of courts Of justice, and are for
midable bodies managed, it would appear,
by unscrupulous men. We shall recur to
this subject at another time.

THE KING OF THE BELGIANs takes SO gener-
GUS and heightened an interest in the extern
sion of geographical knowledge that injustice
is done when motives are ascribed to him
which have not influenced his action.
When number of eminent phianthropists
and scientists assembled at the royal palace
At Brussels by King Leopold's invitation
some of the newspaper correspondents
spread rumor that one reason OF his great
interest in African discovery was desire on
the part Of his government to establish a
penal colony in Africa. We are able to con-
tradict that rumor on the most trustworthy
authority. Such an idea may have been
suggested by members of the Belgian gov
ernment, but it certainly had nothing to do
With the recent conference between the
King and the savans whom he invited to
meet him in his royal palace for an inter-
change of views respecting the best methods
Of African discovery.

The Con.tnntinople Conferences.

Everybody concerned seems to assume
that conference at Constantinople is to be
held, doubtless because they must all pro-
ceed, formally and perfunctorily, until q
positive obstacle is encountered for it is
still far from certain that the conference will
ever sit. Our special despatch by cable re-
ours to Russia's objection to Turkeys
presence at the conference, which appears
to have been reduced somewhat, as it is now
only positive opposition to her presence
at ''the preliminary conference" The pre-
liminary conference is doubtless to be for
mere exchange of views as to the basis and
limits of negotiation in the conference
proper. AS the Ottoman government was in
unqualified opposition to the whole project
of the conference at the time when Russia
proposed tho condition that Turkey should
not be represented in it that government
did not express any opinion on this condi-
ton, because, perhaps, it did not deem it
proper to enter into the detail of that which
it rejected in its entirety. But now that
Turkey has assented to the conference it
must also, if there is to be q conference,
assent to this condition. and that it will do
so is in the highest degree improbable.
Either Turkey or Russia must yield on
this point, which is not susceptible
Of compromise, or the conference will
fail at the last minute. So much
Of the result Of the British Cabinet
council Of Saturday last as it has been
deemed proper to make public gives an out
line of the course to be taken under in
structions by the Marquis of Salisbury, one
of the very capable younger statesmen of
the tory party, who in the conference at
Constantinople is to be associated as Brit
ish plenipotentiary with Sir Henry Elliot,
the Ambassador. The points of the in
struction as given are somewhat in the
nature of glittering generalities. If they
are to be strictly followed it is of little con-
sequence whether the conference ever sits;
for if it sits it must inevitably fail 1t seems
like odd diplomacy for a government to in
struct its representative in a grave diplo-
matte deliberation that if he cannot secure
assent to its position he must withdraw with
a threat. Naturally a suspicion arises here
that there is some inaccuracy of statement in
tho report. England's purpose now an
nounced--to secure the best conditions for
the Christian subjects Of the Sultan without
encroaching on the territorial integrity of
his Empirc-is the same as it has been from
the first, but it is not reconcilable with what
Russia will persistently demand, and the
way for the preservation of peace is there
fore not clearly perceptible.

The TRooPs IN WASHINGTON. hope
nobody will lie awake of nights over the
gathering of troops in Washington. Four
hundred soldiers, chiefly artillerymen, are
there. They are under the immediate
command of General Hancock, who reports
to General Sherman, whose superior is the
President. If anybody imagines four hun
dred artillerymen, commanded by men like
Hancock and Sherman, under the orders Of
General Grant, are dangerous to American
liberty, we advise him to move over into
Mexico for quiet life. There are people
absurd enough to believe anything in these
days, but it is not easy to understand why
an American, citizen should be afraid of harm
to the constitution from such force so COM

her husband and his name, found herself
suddenly turned into Mrs. Taylor. It ap-

went on the Chickasaw reservation and was
married by an Indian medicine man to Mr..
Taylor. At the time of this event she was
Mrs. Vance, whether widow or not we are

after this ceremony, went his way, leaving
his better half to go hers in meditation fancy
Free In this condition she met and welded,
as she believed, Mr.. Davis. Latterly she has
been endeavoring to have this marriage dis
solved. The Judges decision is that she
never has been Mrs. Davis, but is Mrs. Tay-
lor since the day she went out to pick plums

Concert Grand of Messrs. George Steck

awarded the first prize at the Centennial
Exhibition, George Steck & Co. S name
being placed at the head of the list OF
awards for pianos. theirs having again
proved to be the finest in tone and OF
greater durability than all other instru-
ments on exhibition. The Steck pianos
stand thus acknowledged before the
world as being above all competition,
and are therefore preferable to purchas-
ers who wish to secure a strictly first
class and reliable instrument.

Effect OF RecOil in fse.ShOOting.

It has been question with marksmen
whether the recoil of pistol or rifle oc-
CURED before the ball left the bore.
Many have commended that it did not,
and that the tendency of a pistol to
"throw up" did not affect its accuracy.
A recent experiment. seems to have shown
conclusively that the. ,recol occurs be-
fore the ball leaves the bore and does
affect its direction. The experiment
was this !: A rifle barrel, twelve inches
long for convenience, was secured to a
solid bed in such way as to prevent
any movement but TINT of recoil direct
" to the rear and upward. In this sit
uation it was fred. a number of times,
and the balls followed each other into
the same hole In the target. An incline
or wedge was then made fast upon the
bed at the rear of the barrel in such a
way that the breech would be raised as
it slid back in the recoil. Fired under
these conditions, it sent the balls lower
than before. This showed that the re-
coil and subsequent elevation OF the
breech occurred In season to effect the
direction of the gball-that is, before it
had left the bore. OF course The length
of the barrel has an effect in several
ways upon the degree in which the re-
coil affects the accuracy OF the shooting.

accounts for the use of the crescent by
the Turks. When Philip of Macedon

scale the walls of Byzantium, the moon

the besieged, who repulsed him.. The
crescent was afterward adopted as tho
favorite badge of the city. When the
Turks took Byzantium, they found the
crescent in every public place, and, be-
ieving it to possess some magical power,
adopted it themselves. The origin of
