The Conference Committees Plan.

The New York World Of the 9th saws,
Every thoughtful student Of our politi-
cal institutions who has really formed an
opinion Of the rights which the Federal
Constitution intends shall belong to, and
of the duties which it intends shall be
performed by, the two houses, respecting
electoral votes, will bring the measure
which has just been reported, for examin-
ing those votes, to the test of that consti.
tutional standard. For ourselves, as our
readers know, we have very decided views
on these questions. We do not believe
that the trainers Of our fundamental law
intended the President Of the Senate To be
anything more than an official receiver
keeper and opener Of the electoral certifi-
Gates. Those things done, his functions
are all exhausted, and the two houses have
complete and exclusive jurisdiction Of the
whole business. All the powers of exam
nation, veri6catlon, testing and counting
which the Constitution or the laws alloW
or supply, reside in the two houses. The
two houses are the best and safest deposi.
tories Of this power. One represents the
people, and the other the States. The
former makes President and the latter a
Vice-President, ia default Of an election
BY the electoral colleges. These two
bodies in this business are co-eoual. with
co-extensive powers as to the place n
meeting and the presiding officer. They
meet and act as separate houses, and moi
as eonyocations of members. Neither the
House nor the Senate in any Presidential
election has ever yielded one title Of 4,
power to superintend and control the az
animation, the exclusion and the countin,
of votes. All these are affirmative nets
they are things to be done; they canno
come about of themselves. When eer
tificate is opened the votes do not coun
themselves they must be counted. Tha
counting is an act in which both honse
must concur, or there is no count. Tbi

The Compromise in New York,

The N. Y. correspondence Of the Phila-
delphia Ledger, of January 18th says -
There is manifest feeling of relief over
the announcement from Washington that
the joint committee Of Congress have
agreed to plan for counting the EIec-
toral vote. The plan itself is SO fair that
few doubt that it will command the sup
port of every Senator and Representative
who, in crisis like this, can rise superior
to mere partisan considerations. Among
the mercantile and business classes, the
effect is very marked, and congratulations
are heard on every side. Gold at once
dropped to 1861, against 1861 at the close
last evening. The preparations that we're
making for mass meetings, by both politi-
cal parties, to ''back up the claims of
their respective candidates will now he
intermitted, if not indefinitely postponed
or they will take the more desirable shane
OF demonstrations, irrespective of politics,
to support, unitedly, the plan of settlement
As might be expected, the extremists on
both sides are giving it the cold shoulder,
but as soon as it is made to appear that
public opinion is overwhelmingly in favor
of 1t, no one doubts that they too will be
found on the side of Cancellation and peace.
Private dispatches from Mr.. Abram
Hewitt, this afternoon, render it morally
certain now that the Watterson project for
bringing to Washington one hundred
thousand Democrats on the 14th of Feb
ruary, will be abandoned, and even the
more impulsive Of the Tammany men, who
have been in favor of that proceeding, ac-
knowledged that there is now no occasion
for it. Mr.. Tilden also is credited with
the remark that he is willing to unite with
Governor Hayes in recommending Con-
gress and people alike to give the plan their
hearty support.
All this is certainly an agreeable change
for the better, and no wonder, therefore,
that men 'breathe deeper and freer6
The conviction is, that the country has
passed through one of the most momentous
crises in its history, under circumstances
which prove that, after all, patriotism IN
its public men Is much stronger than party.
The party journals appear TO be- eau
tiously feeling their way. The Tribune
opposes the plan as Revolutionary and
dangerous, and the Times gives il the
cold shoulder. The World accords It a
conditional support. The Post and E:r-
press are in favor Of it, the Herald ditto.

We have no sort of objection, of course,

The DOg-star,

In the mid-southern sky during Febru-
ary, you will see the brightest star in the
whole heayens-Sirius, the famous Dog
star The constellation CAMS Major, the
Greater Dog (Which might much better be
called simply Canis,) was one of Orion's
hunting-dogs, CAMS Minor being the other;
but we can hardly suppose Lepus was the
sole prey pursued by g great a giant and
two such fine dogs. The constellation Ca.
mis- Major is chiefly remarkable for the
Dog-star. In old times this star was
thought to bring pestilence. Homer speaks
Of it (uot by name, however, as the star
Whose burning breath taints the red air
with fevers, plaques, and DEATH" Many
among the aneients supposed that this
star was in reality as large as the sun.
Thus Manilius said.
IT'S strongly credited this owns a light
And runs course not than the suns less bright;
But that remOv'd from sight so great way
1t seems to cast dim and weaker ray
1t has been shown in our time, however.
that even this estimate, which was by
many thought too daring, falls far short Of
the truth, 1t has been calculated that
Sirius gives out three hundred times as
much light (and doubtless three hundred
times as much heat as our sun. So that
it would make us rather uncomfortable If
our sun were removed and Sirius set in
his place. Sir W. Herschel says that
when he turned his large four-feet mirror
on this star, the light was like that of the
rising sun, and it is impossible to look at
the star without pain to the eye. Sirius
is in reality in rapid motion, though, ow-
ing to his enormous distance, he seems at
rest. He is rushing through space at the
rate of about thirty miles in every second
Of time In year he traverses nearly
six times the distance which separates our
earth from the sun. But this enormous
annual journey is only about i,d1D,th part of
the distance which separates him from
our earth; and he is travelling away from
US, we need not be greatly troubled on ac-
count of him. He is so far from us that
his light has been no less than twenty
years on its way to us, so that in reality,
instead of saying we see Sirius, we ought
to say we see where Sirius tUas some TWEEN
ty years ago Most of the stars are even
farther away, 81 that if every one of them
were in single instant destroyed, we
should still see them-that is, their light
for many years, and probably the greater
number of them would still seem to be
shining in the heavens long after the
youngest of us were dead; perhaps even
after our great-grandchildren had passed
away.-Prof r. A. Proctor, ST. Nicholas

Varieties of Oanaries.

The common canary is known though
out the civilized world, and is SO common
as to be cheap in all bird-stOres; but many
of the varieties are rare, and expensive ;
these varieties are mostly cultivated in
England, however, where the song of a
canary is not so much valued as its elegant
shape or brilliant color. Germany is the
great center whence the world is supplied
with singing birds, and in Germany the
business of raising the birds and getting
them ready to send abroad is chiefly carri.
ed on in the villages among the Hartz
Mountains of Hanover. The people there
are miners and cattle-drovers, but, being
poor, almost every family devotes its spare
time to rearing canaries and making the
little wooden cages in which they are car
ried to the distant railway station or sea-
port. The houses are small, but one cor
ner Of the principal room is separated from
the rest by a light partition, and given to
the birds for their own use, whore, in cups,
boxes, and gourd-shells, they build their
nests and hatch their eggs, secure from

over, all the young birds are taken to
Bremen or Hamburg, to be sent across
the ocean to England, America, or away
round to India and China. These vow
ages are made only 10 the winter,
however, because it was found that in
summer travelling the birds lost their
voices and plumage; but that season is so
cold and stormy that usually from quar-
ter to half Of the cargo perishes before
reaching our shore. SO many birds are
sent, nevertheless, that probably twenty
five thousand came to New York alive last
year from Europe. These are distributed
through large number of bird.shops in
the city, and the deafening chorus which
is kept up from dawn till dark by hun
dred or two birds singing at the top of
their voices in single room, added to the
din of a small menagerie Of other animals,
is something surprising to one the first
time he enters.-,H. Nicholas for Feb
rudry.

Interesting Astronomical Phenomena in
1877.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com.
merctat thus describes some of the inter,
esting astronomical events of the pre-
year: .H
"The year 1877 will be more remarka.
bic for interesting astronomical phenomena
than any for some time past. On the 9th
instant beautiful sight was presented in
our morning sky by the conjunction Of
Venus and Jupiter, the two planets being
about two hours distance from the sun,
On March Mars will pass Jupiter, near
the point the sun reaches at his extreme
southern declination, but this sight will
not be as interesting as the former, as
Mars will be nearly overshadowed by the
the brilliancy Of Jupiter. But the astro-
nomical event Of the year will be the op-
position of Mars, which will occur on the
9th Of September. This happens once in
little more than two years, but owing to
the ellipticity of the planets orbit greater
degree of brilliancy is presented when op-
position and perihelion occur together, as
is the case this year, Mars coming to per-
ihelion August Il and to opposition fifteen
days later During the months of August
and September the fiery little planet will
blaze nearly all night, with brilliancy
rivaling that Of Jupiter ITSELF Opposi-
tions Of Mars are valuable for determining
the suns distance, by means of the planets
horizontal paraliax, being for this purpose
inferior only to transits Of Venus. The
comparative movements of Mars and Sat
urn will be interesting, the former passing
Saturn on the 9th of July, retrograding
past him on the 26th Of August and finally
passing him on the Sd Of November in
direct motion again, Saturn being in ret
rograde motion all the time. On the 9th
Of November Venus and Jupiter will again
be in conjunction, being about three hours
distance from the sun. They will not,
however, be nearer than about two and
one-half degrees Venus being at her
greatest heliocentric latitude south, and
Jupiter but little past his decending node.
During the months of September, October,
aud November, the four planets, Venus,
Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn will all be WIS.,
ible in the evening sky, forming in the
first half Of November two pairs, Venus
and Jupiter low in the southwest, and
Mars and Saturn high in the southeast,
about eight or nine degrees below the
equinoctial sight as beautiful as it is
rare. ..t
