OPINIONS OF THE PRESS
On the designations Of the New
York Senators.

AUGUSTA GA, May 1.-THE Chronicle
says of Senator Conkling's resignation, that
he has been an aggressive and malignant
enemy of the South, which should rejoice at
the triumph of President Garfield and the
defeat of Senator Conkling. The Southern
Senators should sustain the President in
the full exercise of his constitutional rights
He has pledged himself to patriotic ad-
ministration, and the South should sustain
him in his efforts to restore peace and
brotherhood to all sections of the Union.
RICHMOND, VA, May 1.-THE Dispatch
says Conkling deserts his post in the first
watch and leaves his faithful soldiers to their
fate; the only one he does take with him in
his guilty flight, is his man Friday, the pre-
tended junior Senator from New York, but
really the subservient tool of Lordly Roscoe
- beautiful pair of traitors they ara. Conk-
ling resiguationis the madfreak of a spoiled
demagogue, who would ruin his country
to spite his enemies.
New YORK, May 1.-THE Sun says the
resignation of the two New York Senators is
highly sensational proceeding. The only
argument that can be presented to justify
such manifestation is that, under the cir
cumstances it becomes proper for them to
return their trusts to the legislature, in order
that their policy may be accepted or con-
demned by that body. 1t is novel as well
as very ar-reaching complication which
Conkling has now added to the previous
difficulties of the Republican situation, and
all intelligent citizens will wait with unaf-
fected interest to see how il comes out. ~
The Staats-Zeitung does not consider
their probable reelection by the legislature
as a vindication for Conkling. In order to
have his course vindicated, it would have
been necessary for Conkling to postpone his
resignation until after the legislature has ad-
journed sine die, and then go before the
people at the next election of members of
the assembly

MILLIONS AT THE MINT.
Arrival at Philadelphia Of Great sum
from the New York Assay Office.

philadelphia Timesl
Over 5000, 600 in broad, salmon
colored bars or bricks of gold. OCCASION
ally larkly tinged with copper-like
coating, have arrived at the United
States Mint. They came in Loo wooden
boxes, about two feet square and foot
deep. An express wagon, with several
custodians, carried them, and they
were rolled and dumped into the weigh
ing.room like so much lead. To the
men in the Mint the daily handling of
fabulous sums of the precious metals be
gets an indifference that puts it on par
with the commonest merchandise. Not
an ounce of it, however, is free from
the closest scrutiny while within these
walls. Although a man may walk in
from the street and stand at step be-
fore the open doors of the weighing
room vault, where $50, 600, 600 is stored
with but single official in sight, it
would need but the slightest alarm to
have a score of men with loaded weap-
ons in their hands standing on the spot
Unlike foreign mlnts, no display of
armed protection of the treasure is made,
but the precautions are nevertheless
complete. This large consignment came
from the Assayer's Office in New York.
Each box contained a melt, or in
other words, the entire refined contents
of crucible, each varying in quantity,
and every brick was numbered The
men who do the heavy work opened the
boxes, took off the paper wrappngs and
piled the bricks upon the scales. Then
the clerk weighed them and carried
them into the vault. The entire weight
was 266, 900. rs ounces Troy, or over |
tous. The actual net weight valuation
was S5, l04, 466 81. If any one could
count $50 every minute, and keep it up
without stopping, it would take within
"A fraction OF four months to count this
amount in coin. In the Mint all the
counting is done by weight and meas
ure. Piles of various kinds of coin are
measured, and if they are the requisite
number of inches each way, and the
weight corresponds, the number and
value is set down far more accurately
than if the money had been counted by
the dcftest fingers.

Mr.. j. ". S,oain, of New-castle-on-
Tyne, has como forward as the tnven-
tor Of a system of otincandesoent electric
lighting, which he claims can be eco
nom,cally applied to domestic purposes.
He thus states In general terms what
he has done: 1t Is found after many
troublesome experiments that when
the vacuum within the lamp was good
and the contact between the carbon
and the conductor which supported 1t
sufficient, there was no blackening Of
the globes and no appreciable wasting
away of the carbons. The main prin-
ciple of the Swan system is that upon
which Mr.. Edison has lately been
working, and upon which, many years
ago, other American inventors devoted
O. good deal OF attention with consider
able success. Mr.. Swan arranges his
lamps In series, and feels warranted In
asserting that at least twice as much
light 8 produced by certain quantity
of gus used to generate an electric cur.
rent employed in his lamps that can
be obtained from this quantity of gas
burned in gas-burners in the usual
manner. Putting tho question OF
economy in other words, he reckons
that forty pounds of coal employed In
raising steam, to generate electricity
is capable of producing the effect In
his lamps of one thousand feet of ga
burned In gas-burners.

Tho Castor Ifean.

The Castor Bean is native of the
west Indies. where 1t grows with great
luXuriancc. 1t is cultivated as a field
crop III the lower Middle States bord-
ering on the Ohio river on the north.
Itltkcs q rich mellow bed ,and,is plant
cd and hocd like corn. 1t attains the
height Of five or six feet and bears at
the rate of twenty or thirty bushels
per acre. The seed is separated from
the pods, s,brulscd and subjected to great
pressure, by which it yields nearly a
gallon Of cold pressed castor oil to the
bushcl of seed. The cold pressed oil is
far better than that extracted by boil
ing and skimming; the last process is
performed either with or without first
slightly roasting. Formerly It's separa-
ton into limpid oil for machinery
and lamps, and into stearlne for can
dies, much increased its value, but
since the introduct' on of mineral oils.
which are so plentifully produced, the
use Of castor oil is chiefly confined to
medicinal purposes.

II has long been 'favorite theory
Of geologlsts that sea and land have
been playing q sort Of seesaw game for
ever so many ages; that now the bot
tom Of the sea, the grea$ ocean floors,
became the contin ents, and again the
great continents subsidized and became
the floors Of the oceans. Almost every
modern book on geology sets forth this
as something to be accepted without
question. At first sight the observed
facts appear to support the view Of the
book-makers. The rocks, which make
up the most Of the continents, and tho
sites Of the loftiest mountains, gave
unmistakable proof that they had been
frequently under the sea. A close sift.
ing of the facts, however, dispOses of
anything like the great cataclysmal
notions. Continents when they lost in
one direction gained In another, Re.
cent soundings have shown that tho
sediments carried off the land have
been deposited not more than 200 miles
from the shore. The remains Of pelagic
flora and fauna on dry land 90 to
prove that the living organisms had
never an existence at q very great
depth. This is what Professor A.
Geikie, one who stands In the front
rank Of the geOlogIsts of our time, has
to say on this subject: again and
again the solid bulk OF the comments
has been reduced to mere detritus, and
has becn spread over the sea bottom.
And yet the continental ridges have
never ceased to exist. Their disappear
ance would necessarily have been fol-
lowed by the ces satiOn Of sedimentary
accumulation. The character of the
component rocks, however, teaches
that, whether by the operations Of un-
derground movements or by the action
Of superficial causes, the land has been
continually wandering, as 1t were, to
and fro across continental areas.
disappearing beneath the sea in
one region, reappearlng from the
sea In another. In one sense,
of course, 1t may be said that land and
sea have been continually changing
places. The waters covering it have
been mere prolongations of the upper
layers Of the ocean, like the Mediter-
ranean, Black and Caspian seas Of the
present day. An elevation or depres-
sion of few bundled feet suffi ced to
turn wide tracts into land or into water.
But such oscillation made ne real
change in the essential position Of the
grand aboriginal oceanic basins and
continental ridges" An Interpretation
of phenomena like that Just quoted
cannot fail to modify or ovcrturn many
prevalent theories, including those re-
garding climate and the existing loca-
tlon Of animals and plants.
