FRIDAY MORNING. JUNE 4.

Mercury is evening star after the I'd. when
he reaches his superior conjunction with the
sun. FIe then rises and sets with the sun, being
apparently Joined to him as the word con
junction implies. He sets therefore about
half-past seven and commences his oscillation
eastward from the sun in the straight line in
which he seems to move, being too near to be
visible.
The June moon fulls on the 22d. The morn
ing sky of the I'd will show lovely picture Of
the waning crescent of the old moon. near to
the brilliant Jupiter and his less distinguished
rival, Saturn. On the 9th, one day before her

paw her respects to Jupiter. On the sd there
will be total eclipse Of the moon, which will
be invisible in this portion of the globe, but
will be partly visible in the western part OF
the United States, and entirely visible in the
Pacific Ocean.
Events are somewhat monotonous on the
planetary records of the month. The visible
planets are evenly divided, Jupiter, Saturn
and Venus doing duty as morning stars; IRA

evening stars. Jupiter takes the lead in inter-

The Committee to Report Against the
Unit Rule.
The subcommittee on rules and order of
business after long session aged to rules
nearly the same as adopted at Cincinnati in
1875, the principal difference being in rule 8,
which reads:
In the record of votes by States the vote of each
State Territory and the District of Columbia shall
be announced by the chairman and if the votes of
any State Territory the District OF Columbia be
divided the chairman shall announce the number
of votes cast for any candidate for against any
propositions; but if exception is taken by any dele
gate to the correctness of such announcement by
the chairman of his delegation the president of the
convention shall direct some of the members of
such delegation to be called and the result recorded
in accordance with the votes individually given.
The latter rule from "But if exception, - is
an addition which does away with the unit
rule.
By the tenth rule it is provided that the
Republican national committee shall consist
of one member from each State, thus doing

Ute country although Col. Buellarth with four
companies OF the 18th cavalry and some other
troops are marching to Fort Wingate, which

The city is filled with rumors tonight con-
corning various possible combinations between
supporters OF different candidates. 1t is stated
that the test vote this evening in the conven-
ton was forced in order to show some doubters
that Grant had a smaller following than
had been claimed for him and was
the result of conference between
the Iowa delegation and disappointed mem
bers OF the New York and Pennsylvania dele
cations in which the Iowans promised to
prove that Grant could not show a following of
over 2S4 in convention as at present organized.
Logan, Conkling and New getting wind of the
scheme exerted their full strength to secure
larger vote than the one named for them by
their opponents and point to 3ls as marked
victory in the preliminary skirmish.

Sherman's followerers would sooner see their
chief beaten by Grant than any other name
before the convention, and that there has been
