entire value Of our presen, Constitution, de.
pends upon the preservation of those checks
and balances by which each department of
the Government d kept within its proper
limits. Constitutional restrictions would
be worthless should one department usurp
the power of Interpreting and executing, rs
well rs Of making the laws. 1t would soon
become an intolerabls despotism.
A cabinet elected as proposed would be
quite ditieren, body from the ministry
selected by the British Premier. Under
that system he Ia tho virtual executive, and
hence there is unity, promptness and
energy which would be wholly wanting in

AN ABSURD PROPOSAL.

The proposition to abolish the Presiden-
tial Office and substitute in lieu thereof an
Administrative Cabinet to De elected partly
by the Senate and partly by the House, eI-
hibts gross Ignorance OF the true principles
Of our Government. The proposal Is u
clumsy attempt to introduce a feature of
the British Government which would be
wholly incOngrOus as applied 10 our system,
The fathers Of the Republic thought they
were doing wise thing when they dis
tributed the powers OF Government among
three independent departments, viz: the
Executive, the Legislative and the Judicial.
Experience has not shown that there is any
necessity for consolidating two OF these de-
partments into one, or that they were wrong
In adopting the theory Of having an indie
pendent Executive.
The advantage Of keeping the executive
branch of the Government distinct rs a
means Of securing certainty and prompt
ness In the execution of the laws has been
abundantly demonstrated by our experience
of more than three quarters of a century.
One of the greatest benefits of our present
form of government is that by il the
Executive himself is subject to law. Sup
pose that the legislative and executive
departments were blended, what restraints
would there then be to prevent that one
department from becoming all-powerful +?
What rights of the people would then be
securef
If the legislative and executive branches
were united il would not bs long until the
independence of the judiciary would like
wise vanish. Instead of the well-balauced
harmonious system which we now have
there would be substantiated the irrespon-
sible and unlimited power Of legislative
body, subject to no checks or restraints

THE SATELLITES OF MARS.

fRoF. NEwCoMB YIELDS THE HoNoRs OF
THEIR DISCOVERY TO PROF. HALL.
Prof Newcomb, who has been absent from
the city for two or three weeks, has requested
that the following statement respecting the
discovery Of the satellites of Mars should be
made public:
lrcgret to learn that an erroneous impression
quite unjust towards my colleague, Prof Hall has
been produced by some of the published accounts
Of hs remarkable discovery OF the satellites OF
Mars. When, on the morning of August II, Prof
Hall showed me his observations, the c0mmunica.
ton was purely confidential and friendly, and was
not made either In the line of duty or because he
failed to recognize their significance, or because
any special skill he did not possess would aid in
Interpreting them. Imggcsted that from the few
measures he had made II was possible to estimate
the time OF revolution Of the satellite u the object
really were one and thus ventured the prediction
that Il would be hidden during most of the follow.
ing night, hut would reappear toward morning
near the position In which II was seen the night
before. The llment Of this prediction facilitated
the establishment Of the true character Of the oh
ject but without 1t an equally certain hold on the
satellite would very soon have been obtained by
Prof Hall alone. The credit Of sole discovcrer Is
therefore due him

1t gives us sincere pleasure to lay before
our readers every sign which indicates
growth Of the spirit of reconciliation be-
tween the North and the South. Hitherto
it has been too much the practice on both
sides to eSaggerate the differences of scnti-
ment between the two sections by dwelling
upon every circumstance calculatedto array
the people of the opposing regions in hos
tility TO each other Fortunately, q differ
cnt spirit is now taking possession Of the
people, and they are disposed to consider
the subjects about which they agree rather
than those about which they might pick
quarrels with each other by working them
selves into bad humor
The Conservative party Of Louisa county,
Virginia, at q convention recently held TO
nominate candidates for the Legislature,
adopted some resolutions which are so en-
lightened and patriotic in spirit that they
might well serve as q platform upon which
patriotic men of both sections of the nation
could unite In the support Of the truly con-
seryative administration of President
HAYES.
The following are the resolutions referred
to:
whereas 1t was an ancient and honorable Gus
tom OF the pepple Of virginia 10 freeiy express
their own optnions Of public men and Of their
action in Office and we desire to follow that praise
worthy custom: and whereas the action of Presi
dent IL AfE E In removing troops from such portions
OF the southern States as had been overawed BY the
military Is true step in the direction Of liberty and
Just recognition OF the rights Of the people Of thoe
states to act as rcemen and rebuke to unconstitu
tional abuse of power.

may diner nom President HAYES upon other ques.
tions to swsr'i him full credit for proper act per
formed At the right time, and we hope In Just
spirit
