air, and all the city was filled with light aud
| joy. There is some interesting military gossip
| also of the kind that is heard good way off
from the fighting.
General Joseph f. Johnston makes, in an
| other column, an observation that will be OF
interest to those who contemplate "a removal to
the South. He gives it as the resul! OF his OBJ
scrvation That the notion that men used to TIE
: Northern climates cannot labor in the South
ern sun, is a deluSon, and adds his opinion as
to the openings which exist for emigrants
| The Cameron party always were modest
people. Here is friend of the Senator
pleasantly suggesting, apparently in the young
mans presence, that if the Pennsylvania Legs
| latule goes Democratic, Simon Cameron will
step aside and allow Donald Cameron to 20 to
| England Does he suppose the Camcr0ns own
the whole Federal Government, as well as the
State of Pennsylvania
! This is sad news for the Texas Pacific that
| is to be found in our Washington dispatches
! this morning 1t is declared that the project
| is weaker in this House than in the last. and
in the last House surely no subsidy bill could
have been passed. But the saddest news of
ell is that there is such Il strong opposition TO
| the scheme among the Southern members.
! Many do not see what benefit the South can
derive from it, and they do not propose to pull
chestnuts out Of the fro for Northern spccu-
| lators Altogether, It looks like long fare
well to the Texas Pacific.
! There is now q new explanation of The court
| estes to Sitting Bull. SO far rs he was con-
cened, the Commission was "A mere sham.
7 The Government invited him. hut did not cx-
pcct him to accept the invitation, and was not
/ anxious that he should accept. Except as be-
/ irg indirectly polite to Canada, the Whole per-
/ Torrance was one of meaningless etiquette.
| Doubtless it will be a source Of unfying sat
/ isfiction to our Government, to know thar
| they have been elegantly polite TO the tattered
/ savage, and that when he snubb"d the Com
/ missioners, lie did just what was expected.
An essay delivered yesterday by Professor
| Loomis before tho National Academy Of
Sciences, gives lucid explanation of the
mode in which most OF our great storms arise
| and travel over the country. With tins
/ explanation in hand it is not difficult to see
! why the barometer often shows by great rise
| Of the mercury that IA far-dIstlnt storm Is com
ing. Professor LOOMS explains also the ex-
ccptiOns 10 the rule, the strange instances
where n storm sometimes stops on its line OF
march, and faisiics the predictions that have
been made OF It's approach or its departure.

! When President MacMahon dissolved tho
| French Chamber. and appealed to the country,
he incurred moral obligation to abide by tbe
| popular verdict. Although The people re-
/ sponded by rejecting over 800 of his candi
dates, and rejecting his most vigorous orpo-
! nents, he continues to cling TO TIE miserable
! cxpedients which his advisers pelsis.ently in
vent The main object of these schemes Is to
circumvent the Republican ma,o.1tv III the
Chamber and keep the present Cabinet in power.
Ii is proposed to do this by adJourning and
subsequently, dissOlving the new Chamber, in
order that another might be elected }ith the
country in state of siege, and terrorism car
ried to the utmost. But tn and other
nefalious projects are all based upon the ac-
quicscenco OF the Senate. In that .ody the
Administration had, asst June, "a majority of
nineteen in It's favor on the question Of dis
solution. 1t expects TO have that num-
Der reinforced by the election Of four
life Senators as soon as the legi--
laturc assemblies. 1t may succeed in this, tut
1t must still apprehend some degree OF ind"
Dendenre in the Senate Self interest alone
will compel that body t. act as barrier to
tho wild projects which are now connected.
