EASTERN DISPATCHES.

New YORK. August 12.-The Tribune 8
Washington special says: Whatever &C.
ton the Senate may take, 1t seems very
probable that there will be no quorum in
the House after tomorrow. Already 1870
members are absent. most of them on
leave. and it will be difficult to return a
quorum in the House even tomorrow.
Should the House find itself without a
quorum before the Senate passes reso-
luton of final adjournment, the result
will be that no business can be tran
sacted without unanimous consent, and
that Congress will be obliged to remain
in session until a sufficient number of
members return to mako a majority of
the House. Another matter which may
cause delay, is the request sent to Con-
gress to-day for additional troops for In
dian service during vacation. The House
does not seem disposed to act upon this |
request.
The Tribunes Washington special
says: The National Labor Council met
last night and adopted resolutions
recommending the withdrawal OF Samuel
+. Carey as candidate for Vice Presi-
dent on the Independent or Greenback
ticket. The closing resolution read as
follows: In Peter Cooper, we find per-
feet type of great citizenship of the Re.
public, q great and good man, but be.
lieve s. F. Carey too heavy weight to
allow of success being obtained. Among
the names suggested in place of General
Carey, was Congressman Franslin Lam
ders.
1t has been the almost unanimous
opinion Of members of Congress until
to-day, that Congress would finally ad-
journ on Monday. 1t now seems pos
sible that one or more several things may
prevent them; for instance, there has
been some talk among leading Senators
in favor Of remaining in session until
Blaine's Constitutional amendment was
disposed Of. If the Senate should adopt
this amendment, as it was reported from
the Committee on the Judiciary, it
would necessitate the appointment of
Conference Committee, which might re-

The notion that the moon e1erts an
influence on the weather is 80 deeply
rooted that, Notwithstanding all the at.
taoks which have been made against it,
it continues to retain its hold upon US.
And yet there never was popular gu.
perstition more utterly without basis
than this one. If the moon really did
possess any power over the weather.
that power would be exercised in one of
these ways-by reflection on the sun 9
rays. BY attraction, or BY emanation.

LOCAL MINING REVIEW,

There is nothing new to chronicle in
the way of mining operations during the
past week. The prospect work in the
Raymond and Ely continues with no
improvement worth mentioning. The
pumping machinery for the Meadow
Valley continues to arrive almost daily.
The hosting works are approaching COM
pleton and will be ready to start about
the Doth instant or thereabouts. No
work has been done in the American
Flag for the past week The HUM and
Hunt and Washington and Creole still
continue the work of extracting ore with
good success. There has been no change
in the Phoebe. The work of sinking the
main shaft still continues, the formation
being the same as last week. The Alps
mill will start to work to-day. the hands
being employed yesterday in rigging the
suction pump to save water. Prospect
work continues in the mine with very
fair prospects. The tailings of the Ray
mond and Ely mill at Bullionville have
been purchased, but it is as yet unde-
cided whether furnace to work them
will be built there or in Phoebe, as ore
will have to be purchased in Phoebe with
which to work the tailings.
RAYMOND AND ELY.
The prospect operations throughout
this mine are still being prosecuted with
the usual energy, without meeting with
any improvement worth chronicling

that which is reelected tow ard US by a
white cloud on summer day, it can
scarcely be pretended that the weather
is affected by such a cause. That the
moon does not exert attraction on us is
manifest-ve can see 1t working in the
tides; but though it can move water, il is
most unlikely that it can do the same to
air, for the specific gravity of the atmos-
pbere is so small that there is nothing to
be attracted. As for lunar emauations.
not sign OF them has ever been dis
covered. The idea of an influence being
produced by the phases OF the moon is
therefore based on no recognizable cause
whatever. furthermore, it is now dis
tincily shown that no variations at all
really occur in weather. any more than
at any others ordinary times. Since the
establishment OF meteorological stations
all over the earth, il has been proved by
millions Of observations that there is no
simultaneousness whatever between the
supposed cause and the supposed effect.
The whole story is fancy and super
stition which has been handed to us un.
contradicted, and which we have accent.
ed as true because our forefathers believ-
ed IT. The moon exercises no more in
huepce on weather than behring's do on

Il, ,eiigibis Postm a.ter 4. 1887.

There were postmasters in 1887 who
crept into the places of presidential cleo
tors. On account of the rumor Mr.. Clay,
in the Senate added to the usual resolu-
tiondirst used in 133Dto raise a joint COM
mittee on examining votes and notify
ing those elected, this amendment;
Sand also to inquire into the expedi-
ency of ascertainirg whether any votes
were given at the recent election contrary
to the prohibition containedin the second
clause ofthe constitution; and if any such
votes were given, what ought to be done
with them, and whether any and what
provisions ont to be made for securing
the faithful observance in future o. that
section of the constitution
Tie committee of both houses reported
that n New Hampshire, Connecticut and
North Carolina there were electors hay
ing the names as did postmasters, and
although the time was not sufficient to
inquire fully, they inferred the electors
were postmasters, But even these could
not change the,result, and therefore they're
commended no action. The Senate COM
mittte said:
'Should case occur in which it be-
came necessary to ascertain and determine
upon the qualifications of electors, &c,
the important question would be present.
ed what tribunal would, under the const
tuition, be competent to decide. Wheth-
er the respective colleges of electors in the
different States should decide upon the
qualifications of their own members, or
Congress should exercise the power, is
question which the committee are OF
opinion ought to be settled by a peIma-
nent provision upon the subject"
AT this counting, in 1897, there came
up in respect to Michigan and same diff
ficulty that presented itself in 1917 re-
specting Indiana, and in 1871 respecting
Missouri, and Congress met it as in the
last-named year. 1t instructed the Presi-
dent Of the Senate to report the result
with Michigan counted andwith Missouri
not counted. And he did he was told
to do. Neitherthe democratic nor the whig
party was in 1927 quite prepared to pro-
claim the doctrine, exploited in certain
quarters to-day, that, ii the Executive OF
the State causes (sectioh 130 of revised
statutes) to be delivered to certain per-
SONS certificates that they have been cleo
ted to be electors, and the latter send to
the President of the Senate lists OF their
votes as such electors, there is no power
in Congress, or the two houses, or either
of them, or proper prima facic evidence
Of fraud, to investigate into the legality
and verify of the certificate, and exclude
it if tainted with Illegally and fraud.
Such doctrine is convenient tor the
rascals III South Carolina, and the coun-
try should be thankful that they have
straightway made it very clear what they
propose to do behind the shield which is
so kindly interposed for them.-New
