The practical conclusion from all that
has taken place is that during the next four
years clear and complete provision should
be made, by constitutional amendment and
by legislation, for the whole process OF
Presidential election. 1t is our conviction
that sufficient way out of existing diff
culties Law in the exercise of the power oil
the President of the Senate, but that way
was clearly an unsatisfactory one, and
could be greatly improved. We SHALL
from time TO time, venture to suggest such
changes as seem to us feasible and wise
but the problem is one which demands the
careful study of our public men. and 1t
would be simply criminal, in the light OF
recent events, to neglect it.-Neo fors

Democrats who are troubled about the
title of President Hayes to his Office
may learn something from the follow
ing upon that subject found in the col
umns of the New York Herald, good DEM
ocratic authority: "Some of our demo-
cratic friends assert that Mr.. Hayes comes
into Office with clouded title. If they
will reflect moment they will see that
his title. on the contrary, is absolutely per-
feet. We will grant all they say about the
Louisiana and Florida frauds but they are
away from the point. The two houses, in
accordance with custom as old as the
government, agreed upon "a method of
examining and counting the votes for Vice
President" They appointed commits

puted questions, the houses receiving its
report and voting on it. Mr.. Hayes is
President in accordance with this action OF
the two houses. He holds his title from
them in q perfectly constitutional and Legal

A METEURIC STONE.

In note from Paris, ILL.,, to the St.

writes: 81 met here today my cd
friend, Prof. John Collect, OF Newport,
Ind, connected with the geological sur

the fortunate observers of the great
meteor or aerolite OF December q, 1875,
it Will interest you to know that he has
in his possession a fragment Of 1t weigh
ing little over four ounces, which he
showed me. 1t fell about four
miles east Of Rochester, Ind, and
its history is this: A friend and ac-
quaintance OF his was standing in the
ard at the time Of the meleol's flight,
when a fragment flew by close to his
head, with irighttul whistling noise,
northeast of where he stood. He con-
fesses he was frightened, and ran into
his house for fear ne might have been
selected as a target for heavens artil-
lery. Next morning, finding where it
had struck the snow, he followed it up
and found it. But its heat had melted
quite cavity in the snow all around it.
The piece found weighed over four
pounds, a piece OF which he sent
to his friend, Professor Collett.
