TIE EARTH AND THE COMETS. One
of Professor Newcomb's assistants says
that the earth meets fifty millions OF
comets, more or less, every year. Almost
all CT them are ignited by the rapid
passage through our atmosphere. and
become shooting stars. Now and then
one does not ignite, and strikes the
earth. These are called meteoric stones,
of which very large specimen is in the
Smithsonian Institution. The universe
is full of them. The assistant adds that
it is held by some astronomers that the
result which would follow, should q
comet strike the earth-a large comet
would be to resolve both bodies at once,
by the conclusion, into clouds of incan-
descent mist, or gaseous matter, result
which would be so sudden and instan-
taneous that the inhabitants of the earth
would never know what had happened.

An agent sent by the government to
inspect affairs in Utah and the Mormon
country reports that the Saints, as
they call themselves, are making every
preparation for an uprising against the
government whose laws they violate
daily, and that the bitterest hostility is
shown to the United States authority on
every hand. The Mormons have also
intrigued with all the Indian tribes in
their reach. and Mormon war against
the government would be also a general
Indian war. In 1854 the Mormons open
ly rebelled against the government, when
they were reduced to submission by an
army of $500 men under the command
of General Albert Sidney Johnston. The
correspondent alluded to above thinks an
army of 100000 troops would be required
now to put down Mormon rebellion.

The presence Of Grant and Garfield at
Long Branch has led to the inference
that possibly a way out of the Albany
muddle was to be found by bringing
them together. Il is difficult TO conceive
what Garfield could concede. However,
il appears that at a reception given by
the President to the cOttagers in the
ueiehborhoOd Of bis hotel, Grant, at the
last moment, entered the reception TOom.
There was buzz of excitement as the
General. with hat IN hand and bowed
hesd. approached President Garfield and
extended bis hand, which was heartily
shaken by the President. A moment of
whispered conversation ensued between
them. when Grant stepped back, and.
walking out to the platform, entered his
carriage. which was in waiting. Three
minutes did not elapse from the time of
Grants entrance until his departure.
It's hardly likely that the whispered
conversation was fraught with any sig
nifcance. OF its nature we are not in
formed. but it is not impossible that
Grant inquired whether Garfield had
rad bis letter to Senator Jones. or any
or All Of his recent interviews. Such an
inquiry would have been no more cheeky

4 good deal has been said about the
labor and expense involved in the arrears
Of pensions act, but, it seems, the hall
has not been told. 1t is said that the
examination OF one hundred thousand
cases is pending, but not concluded;
that one hundred and fifty thousand
cases are on hand and not touched, and
that new cases are coming in at the rate
of Eve thousand per month. 1t will
take well on to twenty years to clear off
the accumulated cases at the ratio they
are now disposed of. 1t seems to be the
impression of some that Colonel Dudley.
the new Commissioner of Pensions, will
pass claims without full examination. In
this event the docket would be kept
tolerably clear, but the question is, what
would become of the Treasury of the
United States?

The Indictment of Sessions is cred
table performance on the part of the

description of himself it may be inferred
that he is not frightened to any great
extent. 1t remains to be seen whether
his fertile resources will not enable him
to procure all the whitewash he may re,
quire. A "vindication," if it would
serve him, ought not to be hard to pro
cure-at the hands of petit jury in q

Soon after the passage Of the supple
mentarY pension bill claims for pensions
poured in by the thousand, and the
members of Congress who had passed
the bill became somewhat alarmed at
the burden they had thrown on the gov
eminent. They tried to explain it away,
and declared that these applications for
pensions would soon cease to come in.
Instead of this being the case, the appl1-
cations are growing more and more nu-
merous every day. There are now no
less than one hundred and thirty thous-
and cases on file in the Office of the Com
missioner of Pensions, and applications
are increasing at the rate of one hundred
per day. Even the New York Tribune,
which has been in favor of giving the
Union veterans everything they asked, is
surprised at the result, and declares the
situation quite alarming unless some
means can be devised of stopping this
inroad on the Treasury.

The FATAL BULLET.-A Wash.
ington dispatch says that considera.
Die excitement exists IN consequence
of serious charges against the at.
tending doctors, said TO arise from
statements made by DIR. Bovntor
and Gen. Swain. 1t is further stated
that those gentlemen will make a re.
port showing that the autopsy was
false III every particular. The orioi.
nal track OF the wound was healed
and the ball was safely encysted
among the intestines. The bullet
neither struck the spine or lodged
near the heart, as was reported. The
wound had practically healed,
and the president must have re-
covered had it not been for blood
polsoning,resulting from the clothing
of blood in the wound. This came
about by the imperfect drainage of
the wound. The presence of this
clot of blood was noted the second
day after the president was shot.
Surgeon-General Wales, whose adj
wee and assistance were requested
by DIR. Bliss, and who was, by him.
summarily dismissed, confirms DR..
Hammond's theory of Pyemia, in
July, that there were pus assesses
In each lung and both kidneys. The
proper application of spirits on the
second day would have removed
the source of blood poisoning, and
insured the recovery of the presi-
dent, if the autopsy revealed what
Drs: Swain and Boynton declare
to the American people that it did
reveal.

Can Guiteau be Tried for Murder.

The Post, in conversation with a
prominent attorney of this city last
night, discovered that the idea that
Guiteau could not be tried for muir
der is strongly disputed pointt
The attorney referred to the United
States statutes at large and cited
section $3.50, which reads as follows /:
Every person who commits muir
der:
First-Within any fort. arsenal.
dockyard, magazine, or in any place
or district or county under the ex-
elusive jurisdiction of the United
States.
Second-Or, upon the high seas, or
in any arm of the sea, or in any river,
haven, creek, basin or bay, within
the admiralty and maritime ju-
risdiction of the United States and
out of the jurisdiction of any partic-
qlar state.
Third-0r who, upon any such
waters maliciously strikes, stabs,
wounds, poisons or shoots at any
other person, of which striking, stab
bling, poisoning or shooting such
other person dies either on land or
sea, within or without the United
States, shall suffer death.
He then cited the eighth section
of the first article of the constitution
to the effect that congress shall ex-
ercise exclusive legislation in all
cases over any district not over ten
miles square which shall become the
seat of government of the United
States. 1t has been doubted at
times that the acts of congress de-
timing crimes were applicable 10 the
District of Columbia. Congress, by
an act approved February 81, 1871,
lsection SO, Revised Statutes of the
District of Columbia.) provides
shat all laws of the United States
which are not locally applicable
shall have the same force and effect
within the District of Columbia as
elsewhere within the United States.n
These citations were ample evl-l
dence to satisfy him that Guiteau
could be tried for murder here, and
that the court has abqndant author
1ty TO conduct such a persecution

WHO SHALL BE VICE PRESIDENT

All the luck which ran in a broad
stream Ohioward for time is stop
ped and settled squarely backward
Had the fates not turned the cold
shoulder on the state, an Ohioa1
would now be the most eligible per.
son for vice president. Ex-senator
Thurman quit the senate a year toe
soon. Were he present, the vote fol
his election would be practically
unanimous. AS it is, the pendulu m
of power, which for twenty wears
rested ON the westward stroke
swings back eastward with a Jerk.
New York has again president, as
she had in the person of Fillmore
man which the country at large
would bury under an adverse
vote of at least million.
Delaware will, in all human
likelihood secure the vice presi.
dent, and if Hiscock, of New York,
secures the speakership the old Sec
tional cry will be heard again. The
choice for president of the senate is
not limitless. There are but few
Democrats left since the thinning
out of last last session available for
this trying position. Thurman
would, of course, have been the I'M
disputed choice of the party and the
country were he present. After
him that noble old Roman, Eaton.
of Connecticut, or Mcdonald, of In
diana, would have been apt to fix the
attention of the less conspicuous
members.
To-day there are but three posi-
BILE names to choose from-Bayard,
Mcpherson and Pendleton, three
fairly creditable men, it will be
owned. Pendleton, however, would
be shock to the country because
of his known sympathy with the
pestiferous doctrines of fiat money.
McPherson's term as senator eXpir-
ing in 1883 and as it Is uncertain
whether he will be entrusted with
another mandate, it would obvious.
ly be waste of time to choose him.
There are two other northern Demo-
Gratis available-Senator Farley, of
California, and Grover, of Oregon
but their services have not been so
continuous or conspicuous as the
group first named, who seemed to
come most naturally into the cate
CORY of possibilities.
The rejection of natural unfitness
leaves but one conspicuous figure.
Thomas +. Bayard, unless the affec-
ton and esteem felt by the Demo-
crazy for that honest and noble
man, David Davis, should incline
them to seat him in the place of
honor at their disposal as a recogni-
ton of his eminent fitness for
still higher and more responsible
place. The country at large would
not be sorry to see so sagacious, in
dependent and trustworthy man
in the Office, and if the Democrats
an atom of their old time
adroitness they would entrench
themselves in the good opinion of
independent voters throughout the
country by confiding to the fore
most exponent of that system, the
most conspicuous trust in their gift.
