EDIsoN's PLAN.

A recent town election in Illinois shows
that an American citizen can be too lit
tie politician. The farmers were so
busy getting in their hay and attending
TO things In general that they forgot ali
about the election until they woke up
the next morning and found that lot of
roughs, who had no farm work to do,
had elected convict just out Of Jail to
the position of police magistrate. The
Governor is being importuned to with
hold the commission, but whether he
does or not, the farmers of that town
have probably received a lesson on the
duties of citizenship which they will not
soon forget.

STARTLING DEDUCTIONS DRAWN
EDIsoN's PLAN FOR DISCOVERING
STARS.
DENVER, COL, July 81, 1878.
The proposed convention of the astrc-
nomersd i'd not take place to-day, owing
to the non-arrival of many OF the OBJ
servers. Several are already here, but
the majority are still at the encampments
along the line of the shadows belt enga-
ged in. packing up their instruments.
This delay, ii is feared. may prevent the
formal gathering,i as many of the astron-
omers have made arrangements for
starting homeward tomorrow. Among
those assembled here the strange results
obtained are being discussed, different
sides are being taken, and emiuenl astro-
nomers are becsming more and more
antagouistic in their views. i occur led

astronomers their views and theo-ies OF
the observations.
QUIET CONDITION OF THE sun.
With regard to the quiet condition of
the suu, as evidence by the absence of
protuberances, DR. Draper said
al did not anticipate seeing any large
prominences in the edge Of the sun on
the day of the eclipse, because | had
carefully gone around the entire edge of

telescope and found that the chromo-
sphere or first atmosphere of the sun

selves on the spectrum photographs.
1t is rather singular while tn sun has
been in such quicscent condition foi
more than two years that we have moi
seen more changes in the climate of the
earth. This would seem to show that tn,
abnormal condition ofthe sun at the max
| lmum period of sun spots, which occur
every eleven years, counts for but littl,
against the total amount of heat that il
sent out from the sun at all times. Th
present observations go to show that tn,
activity or quiesence of the sun make N
perceptable difference in the earth's con
dltion, | do not regard this most marked
change IN the corona as portending an
change in the condition of either eli

Attempt to. Overload Silver.

The gold-worshippers are endeayoring to
make silver o scapegoat for all the follies OF
financial enthusiastic break it down, II
possible, by overlooking it. The trick can
not succeed. Silver is solid, substantial,
and enduring ia. nature and In character.
It has an economy of its own as intact and
as stout as that of gold. II q man who IA
yored silver goes afterwards for unlimited
imitation through paper money that does
not stigmatize silver; 1t only shows that,
like free man, having opinions on different
matters, he expresses them. Silver is avery
solid rnetal, and is not easily morally tainted.
Silver, indeed, is an enemy to Imitation In
its service as coin. II is absurd to speak
OF initiation by silver. The metal has an IN
trinsic value, even when not regarded as
coin, that excludes the idea of Its becoming
q means OF imitation. 1t is, as coin, posi-
tive protection against imitation. Ii the
small bank-notes, or those under So, were
abolished. silver coin would be necessary
for the supply of a medium of exchange for
the whole amount that has been heretofore
and is now represented by those small notes.
No mandatory Of shinDlasters and dollar
notes could find any means OF ditiustng IFS
paper-money over the country. Solid sill
yer would exclude the powerful means OF
imitation through these notes, called in other
days "rags." Silver coin would be the
strong protection against "rags." Nobody
would be interested in forcing the distribu-
ton Of silver, as men formerly did in get
ting off shinplasters by discounting them
upon the market. Silver is perhaps tae
strongest power that can be called in to
check that worst Of all agencies OF initiation,
small denominations Of paper money.
The god-worshipper are merely tricky
iu attempting to stigmatize silver by attri-
buting the follies in finance, for "aohich
then haze no inclination" to "Sitrer-men."
Silver has neither sentiment nor soul. 1t be-
longs not to foolish parties, and cannot be
driven to madness by crochety theories.
That coin is remonetized, it will fulfil its
financial mission, which is to serve the coun-
try, to be free from entapglng alliances with
financial fabbergast and bosh. and to main
tain an intimate and reliable relation with
the people and with meritorlous enterprises
and honest industries OF the land. With
gold, silver is in the happiest harmony.
They differ in their uses; but they are en-
actly what they should be for their different
purposes, and with them we shall have the
best finance and the happiest system of ex-
change that is possible. Silver in its way is
as unimpeachable as gold.

a Convention

The Petersburg appeal makes the fol-
lowing just remarks upon the proposition
to hold State convention to amend the
Constitution. We especially commend the
remarks OF the appeal upon the suggestion
that the destructiyes design through this
convention to attack the judiciary OF the
State. What it says is eminently true; OUT
we are not so sure that it is the Judiciary
SO much as something else that the destruc-
tiyes are after. We have heard another
idea as to their obi ects-Viz., to repeal the
clause in the Constitution which provides
that all taxation shall be upon the value OF
things, and shall, moreover, be uniform.
This stands in the way OF special tax of the
bonds. II that were out OF the way bonds
might be taxed, as il were, out Of existence.
This would delight the destructives.
Whatever be their purpose, we have not
the slightest doubt that it is such as cannot
meet the approval of considerate and just
people, and we have not the slightest belief
that it can be one to the advantage of the
welfare and honor OF the State. Forcible
reaajusters are incapable OF conceiving any
thing with that object. 1t is not in the line
of their selfish and personal objects. The
I7,deI says:
We fail TO see how the calling OF State
convention, especially II it be made in de.
lance OF the requirements OF the Constitu-
ton, as ia proposed, can accomplish any
thing for the relief OF the Commonwealth
from its present embarraSsments. The con-
Yention would cost money and a good deal
oft, whereas. the need OF the State is that
money shall be provided rather than be
spent. Moreover, il the intention OF the
call is to attack the judiciary OF the State and
repudiate its rulings, nothing but injury OF
the grayest kind can result from an appealto
the people to meet in primary convention.
The courts OF Virginia are the last and
strongest barriers that remain against the
tide or corruption and venality that has.
swept through the whole country with ct.
fects SO injurious. There is no denying the
serious condition OF affairs, but a conven-
ton to add to existing asperities and ex-
element would rather tend to increase than
relieve the perils that environ the ship Of
the State. y *
But there Is no danger of a convention
Tue Governors message Of yesterday settles,
that question. The reid nsters have been
complaining that Governor HoLLIDAY did
not.let them know his opinions upon impor-
tant points. he has deprived them Of all ..
ground Of complaint upon the subject q q
