Will be to hold out the promise OF renewal
of the practices which rendered his former
Administration SO obnoxious to taxpayers
and respectable people. It will remain
for the Republicans to make campaign
nguinsl open and defiant bummerism.
It will be for the people to determine
whether this city has sufficiently recovered
already from tho serious financial embarrass-
1nent in which CoLSH left it to again ln-
du1ge in a carnival Of high salaries, fat con-
tracts, big defalcations, e1travagant app1o-
priations. and e1orbitant taxes. It will be
for the respectable people, Anaerican-born
and foreign-born, to decide whether the city
shall again be turned orer to the depraved
and vicious classes whether the thieves and
bunko-men shall again enjoy immunity from
prosecution; whether the gamblers shnll
have license to reopen their helis; and
whether licentious shows and infamous dens
shall be publicly tolerated to lure the young
into vice, and encouraged by the special
favor and personal attendance of city
officials. In fact, the nomination of
1lr. Co1rM by the Democrats will make
the issue very simple. The choice
will be between q continuation Of the
economical administration Of the finances
and the rigid enforcement Of the laws We have
enjoyed this last year on the one side, and
on the other return to the disgrace and e1-
travagance of Co1v1S's regime, which expended
so per cent more money, disgraced thecity by
the disreputable conduct Of it's officials, rem
dered life and property insecure by encour-
aging the criminal classes, and left floating
debt unprovided for which proved all but
ruinous to the city's credit. ]
In opposing this new raid upon the tax
payers, We think the respectable and
property y-owning classes cannot do better
than to nominate the present Mayor, and, as
far as possible, all the Aldermen and asso-
ciates who have acted with him in |
reforming the administration Of munich !
pal affairs. Mayor HEATH has not only |
a large and useful experience, but he has |
proved himself to be the friend Of economy |
and good order. Other gentlemen might be
selected who are equally in accord with the
taxpayers and respectable people but MIR.
HEATH has shown himself willing to give ali
us time and energy to the duties Of the
office, and it may not be m easy matter to
ind a man of equal position and capa5ility
yho will consent to do so. At all events, it
S time for good citizens to begin to interest
themselves, for determined effort will be
Necessary to prevent the professional bum
uers from again fastening their faugs on the
'ity Treasury.

If there is one thing for which the pres
ent Administration of the City Government is
especially to be commended, it is for the i'm
partial and persistent prosecution of the
gamblers, -confidence-men, and criminal and
luasi-criminn1 classes The efforts in this
direction would be materially assisted by the
passage of an adequate Vagrant act which
would encourage the police in running down
the known thieves, bunko-men, confidence
operators, aud loa6ng gamblers, who are
well known to them. As the Law stands,
these fellows are allowed to slip through the
fingers Of justice except when actually ap-
pretended in some of their vil1ainy, which
is.generally so difficult to prove upon them.
If the Fagrant act were more explicit, and
the police were given wider discretion in
ra'ding the professional loafers, the city
might be efectually nd in large part of the
vicious and dangerous classes that infest it.

THE AMNESTY BILL.

During Friday night the House Of Repre-
sentatives took up and passed, without ever
the formality Of the yeas and nays, the bill
granting amnesty to all persons engaged il
the Rebellion. The bill contained no exc:op.
tons. This is the same bill which was pro
posed year ago, and to which AIr. BLAINE
moved his amendment, excepting from the
operations of the act JEFFERsox DAVIS, be-
cause Of his responsibility for the atrocities
at Andersonville. The debate on that occa-
sion has become historical, and since then
the principal actors in that debate, 1Icssrs.
BLAINE and HILL, have been transferred to
the Senate.
The action Of the Republican party towards
the Rebels has been OF the most liberal char-
acter. The only political penalty imposed
was that Of exclusion from Office. and this
exclusion was confined to those who, as mem
bers of Congress, or as officers of the United
Stntes, rs members Of State Legislatures, or
as executive or judicial officers of my Stata-
had taken an oath to support tho Constitu-
ton Of the United States before they Ind
engaged in the Rebellion. This exclusion
was provided in the Fourteenth Amendment,
which amendment also provided that the
penalty might be RENTED by vote Of two
thirds Of each House of Congress. Almost
from the date Of the adoption of the amend
ment, Congress began to restore the fran
chlse, and we do not believe that any app1i-
cation for amnesty WIS ever refused. Presi-
dent Grant in several of his messages nd
v1sed the passage Of general act Of amnes-
ty including oil who had not been restored
by special acts to their political privileges.
When AIR. BLAINE moved his amendment to
the general act last spring, tha friends OF the
oil refused to make the exception proposed,
and the bill consequently failed to obtain
t"o~th'rds vote, and has remained on the
calendar Of the House until now.
The time taken BY Mr. Coz for moving the
passage Of the b1l| was an auspicious one.

For nearly thirty days the House had been in
state Of intense excitement pending the
Electoral count. There was an angry and
bitter faction determined to defeat the
completion Of the count, and to plunge
the country into state OF anarchy, resulting
not only in a contested succession to the
Presidency, but in civil war. The House
was overwhelmingly Democratic, and that
party was laboring under all the excitements
and bad feelings Of defeat and dissppoint-
ment. One-half OF more Of the Democratic
members so far conquered their prejudices
and their party affiliations as to unite with
the Republicans and enforce the law, COM
p1ete the count, and secure the peaceful suc-
cession Of President HAYES. These patriotic
Democrats, while practically doing no more
than their sworn duty, nevertheless put party
clnnor at defiance, and overcame the strong
faction who were intent on revolution. The
Republicans were naturally jubilant over
their great victory; as victors they felt
kindly disposed towards all mankind; they
felt deeply grateful towards those Democrats
who had aided them in completing the
count, and it was while they vera thus
happy and jubilant that Cox made his
motion for general amnesty, and in the
general good feeling there was hardly an OBJ
jection,-not IN objection strong enough to
demand the yeas and nays,-and the bill
passed. It is possible that the bill will be
passed in the Senate, aud that in the era of
general kindness and fraternity, and the
new construction OF parties, in which the
Rebellion, and the Lost Cause, and the color
line in politics, will be buried together for
ever, the victorious and magnanimous Re-
publicans will pass the bill, and not dignity

RAINDR0PS AND HA1LRT0NEB.
Prof. OSBORNE REYNOLDS recently read be
fore the Manchester (Eug) Literary and Phflo
sophical Society very interesting essay on th'
manner in which ratndrops and hatlstones ar.
formed Hc says that when the particles O
water or ice which constitute cloud or fog ART
! all OF the same size, and the air in which they
are sustained is at rest or Is moving in one dt
reetion, then these particles can have no motion
relatively to each other. The weight OF the
particles will cause them to descend through the
air With Velocities which depend On their diane.
tefs, and, since they are all Of the same size,
they will all move with the same velocity.
Under these circumstances. therefore, the par
tfccs Will not traverse the spaces which separate
them. and there can be no aggregation SO Us to
form ralndrops or haflstones.
| If, however, some Of the particles Of the
cloud or fog attain larger size than others,
these will descend faster than the others, and
will consequently overtake those Immediately
beneath them; with these they mar combine so
as to form still larger PARTICLES which will move
with greater velocity, and more quickly over
taking the particles iu front Of them will add to
their size ut All increasing rate. Under such
circumstances, therefore, the cloud would be
| converted into rain or hail according as the
| particles were water or ice. The size OF the
/ drops from such cloud would depend simply
! on the quantity Of water suspended in the space
swept through by the drop in its descent, that
| is to say, on the density and thickness of the
! cloud below the point fron which the drops
started.
That this is the way in which ratndrops and
hatistones are actually formed is proven By OBJ
seryatton OF ordinary hailstones- They are
generally Irregular, but all partake more or less
OF conica1 form with rounded base, like the
sector OF sphere; and the aggregated PARTICLES
1T closely together, but without the crystal;iza-
tion observable in the snowflake They suggest
the self-cvident fact that the larger mass, in
catching up and agglomerating with the smaller
particles, not only grows nn the forward side,
but that that forward surface tends to widen
out, like the base OF cone, from the fact that
some of the particles would strike the face SO
near to tie edge that they would overhang II
th9S achere at all. The deformities, or depart
ures from the regular conical form, may result
from asefesattons OF Inc prlnc1pal mass with
