t1r. y. P. BLACKSTONE G. E., Of Btlo|t, Wis.,
has been fur sorno time past investigating tho
relative forca OF attraction c1crtcd on distant

which the line OF force mikes with the plano of

will probably resolve The difficulty which IL now

lunar motion. II Is we'll known that the dtt-
fercnca between tho results Of calculation n11tl
Of observation Of the moons place sometimes
amounts To several seconds OF arc, and so,rc
Investigators are led to suspect that these
differences enn only be accounted for by sup
posing tic earth's rotation 10 he subject 10
small variation in time. Mr.. BLACKSTONE has
demonstrated, by o process which Is partly
original, TINT tho force Of attraction at tho
polo Is m 2o3 to 2o3, and at the equator
as 5sG : to 585, compared with tho
attractive fnrcr duo IN each cnso to distance
from tho earth's centre; and 1t follows. there

trca OF tltc cartl and moon. tho nttfacttnR fore

effect on latitude and modal motion, which arc
already allowed for IN Tho cquntfona Of notion
Mr.. q. llaa not yet finished tho intc0ration Of
tho effect due to revolution through varying
limits Of dcclinatton; so that It would ho
premature to say that 10 f,as struck out point
which Wilt eliminate all tho now hidden error In
the lunar theory, hut It promises well. II suc-

noteworthy success in helping TO perfect tho

The Columbus (O.) journal woke up on
Friday last 10 andisson notorious, the editor
and his journal having achieycd notorioty
over night. unconscionsly, Is to say,
not knowing 1t until 1t was too late to stop
II. IA there have bocn numerous dispatches
aud editorials in tho papers and much cou,-
motion among the politicians in Washington
concerning It., there Is naturally some ourlosi-
ty among the reading class to sec the articlo,
to crafty which wo transfer 1t to our columns
elsewhere.
Tho article Ia long, and contains some In
snuctivo information for those not provious-
~ informed; but II tho last paragraph had
boen omitted II never would have cfeatod a
ripple, and would already be forgotten by
minority OF those in tho small Ohio city who
might have carelcssly glanced over 1t. But
the article closed with tho question, "Is 1t
not better for the Preaidont to quiet tho nit
uation lin Louisiana1 with tho forces at his
command rather than Gull on Cor, PACKARD
to demonstrate hts strength ut such feartul
sacri1ce7" meaning war Of races1
The Democratic aface-seekers solzsd on
this recommendation ! pretended to believe
sl,at II was inspired by Gov. HAYES TINT 1t
WAS In the nature Of request from him to
President GRANT to begin Immediately to uso
the bayonet on the NICHOLAS party and crush
them by military force. They telegrnphed
this Sensational lie to Washington, and sens
tliere by express oil the copies Of tho Journal
they could find. There Is nothing too mean
or tricky for tue partisan otlce-seeker 10 do.
The little fraud, however, was shortliyed,
aud expired almost Oh soon rs 1t was inyentcd
| aud hoated.
The article itself seems to have been
written by On Ohioaa who had resided In
Louisiana for somo time, md was tolerably
| familiar with tho state Of things down there.
While 1t contans much that Is true and so.ne
thiugathat arc inaccurate, II snppresscs few
important facts One Of tho inaccuracies
Is estimating the white element In tho Re-
publican party at 10 pos cent Of tho whole
Republican atrongth. 1t was probably that
strong as lats Us 1869, but docs not now cz-
ceod or 9 per cent, and they are mostly to
be found In New Orleans-in office. II 10,
