MALLETT,
THE COMETS FATHER.
He Has Been Watching Il Since Last Sep
tember.

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 2S.-Professor
Klein, Of Hartford, KY, claims to have discovered
the comet now attracting attention last Scptem-
beI In n letter published in the Courier Journal
of to-day he says: "This 80 called newly -discov-
cred comet may be new to the world at large, but
1t is not new to me, as | have been gazing upon
this very comet ever since astSeptember. You will
remember that l told you In ny letters that 1t
would be visible to the naked eye in June or
July, 1881, and that 1t would not be seen again for
seventy nine years Furthermore, IL is not the
comet Of 1872 but II is the comet of 1873 which was
the supposed cause of the terrific atmospLerical
disturbances OF that year. / feel that know more
about this comet than any other astronomer, as
have nursed 1t. as IL were from Its first appearance
until the present. and know my comet by sight
just rs inther would know his children by seeing
them. Professor Smith and other eminent
scientists have written TO me in regard TO
1t from time to time ever since last fall"
The C0nricr- Journal Of Scptcm ber contained
an account Of the discovery of this comet by Pro-
fessor Klein, In which he at that time said 81 am
ofthe opinion that the earth passed through the
tail of this comet and that It's vapors SO permeated
our atmosphere here MS to be the direct cause of
the recent unprecedented rainfall all over the
country, believe 1t was the cause OF the great
snow storm on the lakes carly in the fall. Indeed,
the tail OF tho comet may have actually swept all
over that portion Of the continent. Many OF the re-
cent hurricanes can, think, be accounted for II
we accept the above theory"

Talking to General George III. Sheridan
last night, he said; 81 don't believe the Govern
ment will be able to convict anybody connected
with the star routes, Brady has covered himself
too thoroughly with the laws, and l think that
everywhere he will be found protected by law.
The suit brought against him by John A. Walsh
arises, think out Of mutual stock operations they
had, Brady perhaps, oflsetting some OF the loans
by losses on their mutual account in Wall street.

A Warning Against Party Treason.

lhe United States Senate now consists
of lhirty-seven Democrats thirty-five Re-
publicans, and two Independents. The
latter have shown themselves to be
divided in their afIiliation, one acting
with the Democrats and the other with
the Republicans. Thus the Democrats
can count on thirty-eight votes,
and the Republicans (if they are civil
to the Virginia Readjusters) on thirty
six. There are two vacances-the two
seats to which New York is entitled. The
present Legislature stands one hundred
and six Republican TO fifty-four Demo-
crat. If the Administration was Repub-
lican there would be Republican
caucus; the one hundred and six
Republicans would nominate two can
didatcs, who would receive the whole
Republican vote and be elected. This
would make the United States Senate a
tic, and the Republican Vice-Presidcnt
would have the casting vote. But as the
Administration is not Republican, but
simply anti-Stalwart it has prevented
caucus of Republicans, and thereby
rendered the election of Republican Sen
ators impossible up to date. President
Garfield was nominated by set of men
many of whom threatened to bolt the
party If they were not successful in the
National Convention. The Stalwarts did
not act upon this principle, but nobly
supported him after he had been accident
ally nominated. 1t i'll becomes him and
his immediate friends TO set up a new
party now, asthey are doing. What reason
can they give for opposing Republican
caucus at Albany What hope can they
have that there will eUsr be another one
anywhere if none is held at Albany We
do not mean cooked-up affair, hedged
around with unheard-of conditions. We
mean one called regularly by the
Joint caucus committee of the two houses
of the New York Legislature and gov
erned by the usages of past caucuses. Il
the President says the word to Robertson
or Woodin, or Sessions, or Daggett
or Barber, or Edwards, or Phelps
or Davenport or allows any well -knowr
friend to do 80, q regular caucus will be
held. 1.-The continues TO keep his friends

lican organization. Support of every

President GARFIELD yesterday signed Judge
Robortsons commission as collector OF tho port OF
New York. aud the latter gentleman will relieve
Collector Merr4tt Oh July L. HGshington Posi- (Ad-
mInfSirdtiOn).
This is Official. But the Albany dis
patches say that Robertson will not leave
his seat in the senate until the New York
senatorial deadlock is broken. He will
not, of course, be collector until he quail
ties. The hot haste with which he was
nominated in order TO begin the row
with Conkling, which the Presidents Or
gans say was by the latter believed to be
inevitable, is only yeXceeded by the cool de-
lay with which he will be allowed not to
take the place while he can be more use
ful in antagonizing Conkling in another
field. This shows that Robertson was not
needed so much as new collector as he
was in the capacity of a worrier of Conk'
ling. The issuing of Robertson's commits
sion will not relieve tho President from
the responsibility of Robcrtsons remain
ing at Albany as the Administration boss.

SENATOR ROBERTSON, who was 80 much
needed as collector at New York city in
place of Merritt that he was nominated
for the place on the oath of last March,
at the expense of the harmony Of the
party in New York, was confirmed about
the 18th Of May. The resignation of the
two Senators having precipitated sena-
torial election, Mr.. Robertson, with thir-
teen hundred places prospectively within
his gift, has been allowed to remain as the
Administration Boss at Albany until July
], because on this day begins the fiscal
year, and it facilitates the settlement of
accounts to have old officers disappear
and new ones "bob up serenely" at the
beginning Of fiscal year, If the Presi-
dent had thought of that he would not, of
course, have appointed Robertson until
now. But he did not think of it, Neither
did Robertson. But now the senatorial
contest holds on and refuses to pay any
attention to the fiscal year. This is a
perplexing prcdicament. If Robertson
was only waiting Cor the fiscal year to be-
gin he will be sworn in rs the custom
house Boss to-day. If, however, that was
only false pretense, andif he has tarried
at Albany solely on political work hewill
continue there to the end as the legisla-
tive Boss. The President will tell him
