The Credit Mohilier stock distributed
by Oakes Ames was intended to influence
the legislation OF Congress corruptly.
He and the company who put it into his
hands meant business, and that business
was bribery. General Garfield agreed
to take the stock, and did actually take
dividends upon it.

THE SEVERANCE CASE.

The Marin mystery is a mystery no
longer. The body of young Severance has
been discovered, singularly enough pre-
cisely where the Chinaman had declared it
to be, and there remains no doubt that he
was murdered. Whether the detectives
are yet satisfied as to the identity of his
murderers we do not know, but it seems
quite possible that the Chinaman All Lung
may have been assisted in the deed by San
Francisco "highbinders, two of whom, it
will be remembered, passed over from
saucelito to San Francisco by the first boat
on the morning after the murder was COM
mitted. We cannot perceive that the de-
tectives are entitled to much credit for
their discovery. They had sense enough
to look for the body in the place where the
man whom they believed to have COM
mitted the murder said it was buried. The
other officers had not sense enough to
realize that the supposed murderer might
possibly be telling the truth in this respect,
and so they did not look. About this
time also it is in order to inquire what
became of that clairvoyant story of the
sinking of the body in the Bay? Or was
it perchance some other murder as yet
undiscovered, that the clairvoyant saw?
We suppose the latter hypothesis will be
utilized as a means of escape, but the
spirits have nevertheless sustained another
sore encouragement in this case.

MIR. T1LDEN AGAIN.

And now it is solemnly declared that
there is no truth In the story of Mr.. Til
denis intended withdrawal. We think it
would be safe to offer considerable re-
ward for the production of anybody who
ever believed for moment that there
could be the least grain of truth in state
ment of that kind. Indeed, as the Judi
cious Poet remarked upon a somewhat
similar occasion, "O'er the peak of Ben
{. Lomond the galley shall steer; through
the depths of Loeb Katrine the steed
shall career, and the rocks of Craig
"Royston like icicles melt" e'er Mr.. Til
den will withdraw from the candidature.
That assurance, moreover, is so univer-
sally held by the citizens of the United
States that it really is work of superero-
CATION for the able editors of the Literary
Bureau to seek to impress it any more
firmly upon the public mind.

SPEAKER CowDERY.

The Assembly was peculiarly fortunate
in the selection of a presiding officer. No
other member than Mr.. Cowdery could
have ruled the turbulent elements in that
body with that degree of decorum admit
ting of tolerable parliamentary deliber-
alton. Merit must be measured by the
standard of difficulties overcome, and
if the Assembly escaped at many
times degenerating into an uncontroll.
able mob and falling under the rule
of anarchy, it was due to the distin-
tinguished ability and consummate tact of
the Speaker. 1t is a significant fact that
not once during the entire session was the
Speaker overruled. The body was re-
markable for the strong and uncompromis-
ing antagonists developed, but the most
pronounced opponents of the Speaker do
not charge a single instance of arbitrary
ruling to the record of the Speaker. By
judicial fairness and by judicious firmness,
Speaker Cowdery conducted the business
of the Assembly to successful termina-
tion. A less skilled commander would
have made shipwreck of that unseaworthy
craft in any OF the many storms through
which it has been safely uavigated by its
presiding officer.

equal rights, and SO forth. The currency
is hardly referred to, and the tariff not at
all. 1t would be difficult to have
framed a more non-committal string
of resolutions, or one less cal
culated to appeal to any strong
popular sentiment There is one excep-
ton, namely the plank in reference to the
inviolable sovereignty" of the Federal
Government. This is a new phrase, and it
is called into existence by new situation
If any one had spoken to Hamilton or
jefferson about the "inviolable sover-
'eignty :" of the Federal Government, he
would not have understood the allusion,
and would perhaps have advised the
speaker to study the Constitution more
carefully. But we live in times when the
reality of Federal sovereignty is being
affirmed more emphatically every day, and
when the few remaining rights of the States
are being more and more curtailed and de-
MED. 1t remains to be seen whether the
challenge flung down by the Massachusetts,
Republicans on this point will be taken up
or not. We are inclined to think that it
will be. And we do not think the acqui-
escence of the people of the States in the
entire abrogation of all their separate and
reserved rights is as yet so certain a con-
cluslon that there may not arise very
serious controversy hereupon, and a contro-
versy by which others than Democrats may
take the field against the inordinate ex-
tension of the doctrine of Capitalization.

HERBERT SPENCER AT YALE.

A curious controversy has been had at
Yale recently, owing to the employment
by one of the faculty of Herbert Spencer's
'Study of Sociology" as text book.
1t was objected to this work by some of
the orthodox that it recognized no essen
tial difference between Christianity and
Mohammedanism and Buddhism, and for
this reason it was sought to exclude it.
The professor who introduced it argued
that the book contained information of
the highest value, which could be obtained
from no other source, and after a pro-
tracted dispute he succeeded in retaining
the work. 1t will probably occur to some
who hear of this episode for the first time
that if all works which fail to admit the
divine origin OF Christianity are to be ex-
Guided from colleges and universities,
those institutions will be in danger of
reverting to the scholastic philosophy
before long, and might almost as well fol-
low the Pope's recent advice, and fall back
upon Thomas Aquinas. For of the most
valuable contributions to knowledge in
science and philosophy there are very few
books in these days which fulfill the re-
quirements5 of Yale orthodox profess
sors, and the highest authorities are
not seldom rather hostile to Christian
lty than neutral regarding it. The
philosophy of Herbert Spencer is certainly
not directly antagonistic to the pretensions
of any Church, though it may well be
doubted whether any ordinarily intelligent
Young man could take full course of that
philosophy without reaching Spencer's own
cautious but defnitive views regarding the
futility OF all attempts to discover the Un-
movable But colleges which make any
pretension to keep up with the spirit of
the age, and which undertake to impart a
complete and rounded culture, can assured
w not afford to exclude Herbert Spencer
from their classes, or to ignore the steadily
increasing influence of his philosophy upon

zee MASSACHUSETTS, REpusLrcANs

The Massachusetts, Republicans have
held their Convention, and without in
structing their delegates positively have
demonstrated in favor of Mr.. Edmunds.
The sentiment in the Convention was evil

and a Blaine element, and an Edmunds ele-
ment. Probably the outcome will be that
Mr.. Edmunds will receive complimentary
vote on the first ballot, and that the dele

and Blaine. The Convention adopted a
platform, in which the difficulty of finding
issues for the coming campaign is foreshad-
owed. Opposition to States Rights is ex-
pressed in so vague a way that all refer
ence to Capitalization is avoided. A plank
in favor of Civil Service Reform is sug-
gestive of the ghost of the last Cincinnati
platform, and not much more inspiring.
There is the familiar loose talk about the
burial OF dissensions, the maintenance of

THE WEEKLY UNION.

The rapid extension OF the circulation of the
WEEKLY UNION Is unprecedented. Its subscription
list is constantly being added to by clubs and single
subscribers from all the country. With the
close of the legislative session more room will be
available for choice reading matter for the home,
for business reports, for agricultural intelligence,
for the departments of art fashion, house decora-
ton, anecdote, mechanics correspondence, religious
news, book reviews, editorials, Congressional pro-
ceedings, market reports, and all the multudinous
departments of the paper. The WEEKLY UNION is
issued on Wednesdays aud Saturdays, eight pages
each, making total OF sixteen pages each week, all
for 81 per year, making it the cheapest and best
paper OF the day.

At intervals along the road there would
be convenient sidings to allow for the pas
sage of trains going both ways. At both
ends stationary engine would take the
vessels, and raise and lower them from and
into the ocean. The time occupied in max
ing the passage would be very much
quicker than could possibly be made on a
canal. The handling of the vessels would
be much easier, and the cost of con-
struction and maintenance would be very
much less. Captain Eads estimates that
the railway can be built across the Isthmus
of Panama for less than $50 900, 600, and
that it will certainly return ten per cent.
on the investment. Lesseps estimates on
SlS5, 100000 for his canal, and Captain
Eads does not believe that it can be built
for less than 1926, 900, 600. He re-
minded the committee that the esti-
mates for the Suez Canal were only S40,-
100000, and that it actually cost $780,
900, 900. He is of opinion that one great
ullulCulGy III OHe Cdllal sCHeiHe HOt
provided for by Lesseps is the injury to its
banks from the constant wash, while it
would be so narrow that vessels would
continually be swinging against the banks,
and getting stuck. This has happened in
the Suez canal, and Lesseps' answer to
Eads certainly cannot be regarded as salts
factory. That Captain Eads knows what
he is talking about may be gathered from
the fact that he has already built fourteen
ironclads for the United States navy. That
his ship railway is not visionary scheme
is shown by the fact that it has already
been warmly approved by some of the
most distinguished English engineers, in
GLIDING Mr.. Reed, for many years Chief
Naval Constructor in the. British employ.
The principle upon which he works, more
over is no new thing, for there are now in
operation several small ship railways, both
in this country and Europe, and they have
been found to operate satisfactorily. His
plan has the signal advantage of avoiding
the difficult hydraulic problems which are
inseparable from any canal in such coun-
try, and in thus removing one of the most
fruitful sources of incalculable expense.
He builds on the land alone, and a strong
permanent way once made, the rest is a
mere question of the capacity of his engines.
In fact so practicable does this project ap-
pear to be that we believe it must super
sede the canal enterprise altogether, and
that it is destined to be the method by
which transportation of vessels from ocean
to ocean will be ultimately effected.

the modern mind. Objections to his
Study of Sociology . indeed must strike
those who are familiar with that work as
hypercritical, even from the most orthodox
point of view, and when such an attempt
is made at Yale to confine the philosoph-
ical instruction, suspicion is justified that
the faculty has dangerous dispositions to-
wards bigotrY.

ALTA, April 16th.-Fearful snow-slides are
reported at several points on the mountains.
The storm began at 3 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon, and has continued ever since.
Eighteen inches of fresh snow has fallen at
Alta, and from three to five feet at points
near the Summit
The snow-storm extends westward to
Colfax.
Avalanches commenced coming through
the snow-sheds yesterday morning.
The Virginia express, due in Sacramento
yesterday at o'clock, is blocladed at Cisco
The west-bound overland, due in San Fran
cisco this forenoon, and this mornings west
bound express, are held at Truclee. The
east-bound overland and express of yesterday
are held here. The west-bound emigrant
train. due at Sacramento at o'clock last
evening, is snow-bound at Emigrant Gap.
Superintendent r. II. Pratt and Master
Mechanic M. W. Cooley, who left Sacra-
mento yesterday forenoon with a special train
and a large force of workmen, and with
pillow and ten engines, passed the night some-
where east of Emigrant Gap. No tidings
have been received from them since last even
ing.
Heavy slides have occurred at Butte
Canyon bridge, half mile west of Cisco, at
point one mile east of Emigrant Gap, at
two places near Tunnel No. ., at the siding
half mile east OF Emigrant Gap and be-
tween tunnels 10 and II, east of the Summit
No estimate can be given of the damage
done to the snow sheds, nor can any idea be
formed Of when the blockade will be cleared
The present storm exceeds all others of the
season in violence and destructiveness. The
storm of two weeks ago is not to be compared
with it in severity.
Snow has been falling very rapidly this
morning The telegr .ph wires are nearly all
down TO the eastward, and working badly TO
the westward.
The railroad company are putting forth
every exertion to clear the road, and Con-
ductor Dave w. Willard is doing all in his
power for the comfort and convenience of the
snow-bojlnd passengers at this point. All
have enjoyed good breakfast, and at pres
ent are snowballing, singing and having
jolly time.

influence of Light on Vegetation.

Among the more recent discoveries of
science is the fact that it is not merely
light, but the different kinds of light,
that have particular influences on vege-
tatiOn. DR.. SchUheler, the distinguished
botanist of Christiana, in Norway, has
shown that the seed of wheat brought
from the most extreme point that wheat
viii ripen produces plants which ripen
their seed more quickly than more south
ern seed grown at the same place, and
the plants from northern seed are richer
in carbohydrates. The brightness of
color, also, both in leaves and flowers,
increases with the altitude, or the APP
proach to the Pole, and this seems to re-
suit from the peculiar light of these re-
giOns. At Christiana the sun during the
summer solstice, remains below the no.
rizOn only about five hours. AT Bodo,
in Nordland, it does not fall at all below
the horizon from the I'd of June till the
18th of July. At Hamerfest it is above
the horizon from the 10Th of May to the
29th of July. So that in these parts of
the world the plants have sort of
morning sum- to grow under cOntinu-
Ously for nearly two months. This pc
culiar light seems more favorable to GER
tain chemical elements in plants. The
common caraway seed is found to be
richer in the volatile oil which gives it
the well-knOwn aroma when grown at
ChriStiana than further south. On the
other hand, the brighter light of more
southern ATTITUDES favors the saccharine
products of plants.-N. Y. Independent.
