OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.
The Possibilities of n Collision in space,
mud the Result of II.

Professor Draper says: "This comet has
becn the whole, an excellent subject for obser-
vation, and the results have obtained are far
beyond my expectations There seems to be no
reason why we should not at any time fall in with
n comet far larger than any that has ever ap-
pearcd. II is well known that the inter.stellar
spaces arc thronged with isolated bodies of all
sizes, from that OF n shooting-star which Is dis
sipatcd by short aight through the air. to that OF
the largest comet; how much larger some Of the
floating spheres may be II is vain TO conjecture.
Now, the sun IS moving through space AT the rate
OF from twenty to forty miles second, and may at
any time fail In with body of inconcevable size,
which, being drawn toward tand rendered lumin-
Gus by Its heat, would be turned from dark In
visible mass into n radiant comet. Indeed, IL Is
pretty nearly certain that in the course Of time our
sun will run foul of some other system OF stars,
hich will bring the solar system to end. II is
not impossible that our system, should II fall In
with sun Of sufficient size, might itself be turned
into q comet, and so come to an end. The posi-
bitics that lie buried In the universe of stars ana
nebulU are limited only by each mans imagina-
tion. There may be systems as complex as our
own, or much more so, which have lost their light
by the lapse of time, and are now invisible; and
such an obstacle in our path would not be discov-
cred until we were close upon IT, But these are
idle speculNtions, and have no end'

Frank uurd and Fre..Trndc.

The great question now agitating Ohio
Democrats Is "What shall we do with Frank
Hurd?" Frank has got frce.tradc on the brain,
and is determined to have frec-trade plank in the
State platform of the Democracy of Ohio. The
Democrats Of that and other States got as much
free trade In theirs last summer as they will want
for twenty years to come, They found that on
that question the people were not with them by a
large majority, and they are determined that they
will dodge that issue this time anyhow. Hence
they look upon Brother Hurd and Ills free trade
plank with about the same feeling that man
would behold the approach Of a red-hot poker TO
the open bung of q barrel of powder Frank has
got the poker and the powder and is determined
to connect the two when they get down TO the
business of building platform. Hence there is
fear and trepidRtion, and new version Scripture
reversed, and damnatory CALCULATIONS from the
Democracy all over the State. We think our
Johngeo SHOULD start for home at once with
a plug of Cundurnngo in one hand and DR..
Mary Walker In tine other. II he cannot
silence Frank with those then the case
is hopeless, and the State will have TO array her
self in calico once more, as bride adorned for
hnr lusbnu1.

"Whether she forgot the cuss words or not don't

GENERAL DuMoNT, Supervising Inspector
OF Steamboats,, was quoted by the Critic
as having given an opinion that steam
boats could not prevent excursonists from
landing at any intermediate point be-
tween the termini of their routes. Sup
posing that our neighbor was giving this
as All Official decision, The REPUBLICAN
suggested that the Supervisor was
not judicial officer, 1t appears that
General Dumont had merely answered Il
question on the subject and had based
his reply upon judicial decision in n
suit against the steamer Aida, plying on
the Hudson River. An excursion ticket
for the whole route is sometimes less than
the price of ticket to an intermediate
landing. The decision in the Aida case
was that passenger to q way-landing
could avail himself of an excursion
ticket and get off without paying the
amount required to make up the way
fare. Remembering this case, General
Dumont had brought it to notice in con-
versation with friend. We acquit him
of usurping judicial functions.

WHEN the mind ofGcorge H. became dsordorcd
in october, l1SS, as was supposed at the time. in
consequence Of the loss Of the American colonies
and the unflal conduct of the Prince of Wales,
parties were divided upon the form of regency to
be established during the Kings illness. Fox,
Burke, Sheridan, and other leading Wings, friends
of the Prince Of Wales. insisted that the admins.
tration of the government doyolved upon him by
right of birth, and that Parliament could not con
fer, but only declare, this right That opinion was
said to have been formulated by the then Lord
Chief Justice Loughhorough, who had his oyc
steadily fixed on the great seal
When Parliament met, soon after, comn,t,ce
az moved to examine ana report GeCcdcnts and
n great debate cnsued. Fox declared that the
Prince of Wales had MS clear q righI to exercise
the power Of sovereignty during the incapacity Of
the King as he had in the event Of his death. Pitt
then at the head Of the ministry, answered that
this doctrine was little short Of being reasonable
to the constitution, aud that the Prince had nc
more right tSan any i:i,!iYidual IN the community
He was prepared to admit claim which was en-
titled TO respect but nothing more, and the right
of the House must be maintained against all as.
sunptiOns or threats.
The question took this shape practically
"Whother any person had right to assume or tC
claim the exercise OF the royal authority during
the intrmity or incOpGcity Of the sovereign; OF
whether 1t was the right of the Lords and Com.
mons Of England to provide the deficiency" PIT
carried resolutions through boldly asserting IN,
powers of Parliament, and he had prepared a b
TO follow them up, when the King was suddenly
restored TO health.
This case is not parallel to that In our Consitu'
ton, because the contingencies in which the Vice.
President shall succeed TO the Presidency are ali
specified; but as has been seen, one Of them Is IN,
definite and open to opposing cOnstruCuons-NeU
