The Moon and Planets in December.

The December moon fuls on the oath at
fifty seven minutes past 10 o clock in the
morning. The moon is in conjunction with
Venus on the 9th, and with Mercury and Mars
on the 10th, showing how closely the three
planets cluster together on the western side
and close to the sun. The new moon of the
10th is in conjunction with Neptune and Sa-
turn on the 2lst and with Jupiter ON the 23rd,
the day before the full. Planet and moon
will be at their nearest point about half past
clock in the evening, Jupiter passing two
and a-half degrees north.
Thus December presents an exceptionally
beautiful program for planetary students.
Venus lead off with a grand transit and in
ferior conjunction. Jupiter comes next in
reaching the most important epoch of his
course, opposition with the sun, when the east
ern sky seems to glow as he comes above the
horizon. Saturn pursues the even tenor of
his way high up among the. stars. Mars shows
a throb Of life as he arrives at conjunction with
the sun, and gives promise of sometime reach
ing opposition, when his tiny moon will come
into view. Mercury is busy enough to de
serve the title of messenger of the gods. The
coniunctons of Venus, Mercury and Mars
with the sun and with each other show how
near they are to the great luminary, and how
nearly their tracks touch upon each other.

Predicting a Great Storm.

The President has received communica-
ton from Prof. L. Stone Wiggings, Ii. D.,
astronomer of the Canadian Finance Depart
ment, announcing that great storm will oc-
cur in March next; that it will first be felt in
the Northern Pacific, will appear in the Gulf
of Mexico on the night of the 9th, and being
reflected by the Rocky Mountains will cross
the meridian of Washington from the west at
noon of Sunday, March IL, 1883. No vessel,
whatever her dimensions, will be safe out of
harbor, and none of small tonnage can hope to
survive the tidal wave and fury of this tempest
As the wind will blow from the southeast. the
planetary force will be sufficient TO submerge
the low lands of the American coast, especi-
ally those bordering on the Gulf of Mexico
and washed by the Gulf Stream, while the air
currents for several hundred miles along the
east side of the Rocky Mountain range will
spread universal destruction.
The New England states will also suffer
severely from the the wind and floods. No
point outside of harbor in the whole area of
the Atlantic, especially north of the equator,
will be place of safety; for this will be pre-
eminently the greatest storm that has visited
the continent since the days of the illustrious
first President. -n f a.a5 -. .s.

Our Available Naval Force.

From the Presidents Message:
1t appears by the Secretary report that
the available naval force of the United States
consists of 81 cruisers, IA single-turreted mon
itors built during the rebellion, large num-
Der of smooth-bore guns and Parrot rifles,
and 81 rihed cannon. ~,
The cruising vessels should be gradually re-
placed by iron or steel ships, the monitors by
modern armored vessels, and the armament
by high power rifed guns.
The reconstruction of our navy, which was
recommended in my last message, was begun
by Congress authorizing in its recent act the
construction of two large unarmored steel
vessels of the character recommended by the
Naval Advisory Board, and subject to the
final approval of new Advisory Board, to be
organized as provided by that act.
| call your attention to the recommendation
of the Secretary and the Board that authority
be given to construct two more cruisers of
smaller dimensions and one feet despatch
vessel, and that appropriations be made for
high power rifed cannon. for the torpedo SER
vice, and for other harbor defences. Is

John Roach's idea of building up our
commercial marine by subsidies, and sugar
coating his plan by the suggestion of turn
ing our merchantmen into cruisers in case
of war, is very good plan for larding Mr.,
Roach, but his merchantmen would be
worthless as men-of-war. IF it be desira-
bic to have an efficient navy let ships be
built for the purpose, ships of steel armor
that could stand any amount of the hardest
rapping from guns of the heaviest calibre.
We had better do this, now, in time of
peace, and while the treasury is full, than
to wait till We are forced to do it, hurried
ly and imperfectly, by impending hostilities
with some foreign power

The election frauds at the Council cleo
ton in Baltimore in October have turned
out to be allegations only, without any cor
roborating facts. Detective Freeburger,
who was charged with being implicated,
was discharged by the grand jury, and on
Monday was acquitted by the Board of
Police Commissioners. The whole case
against all those implicated rested on the
oath of negroes. At the first hearing sew
eral negroes said they were so drunk they
did not know whether they voted or not,
and afterward one or two said they had
testified falsely, having been paid to do So

Take Any Shape But That.

Occasionally somebody mentions Gov.
Hamilton for denomination, and also Ex-
Gov. Whyte. The political seer of the
Baltimore American has frequently named
both of these gentlemen recently. These
names may serve as well as any others as
the basis of newspaper paragraph, but to
talk of renominating either of them is idle
and absurd. IF by any sort of political
legerdemain it were possible for either of
them to get upon the ticket for Governor
again, there would be an open revolt through
out the State. The political status of
both of these gentlemen was plainly shown
at the last election Gov. Hamilton took
the stump for Hon. Montgomery Blair,
and in his own county of Washington,
which Mr., Syester and Judge Alvey both
carried, Mr.. Blair was beaten by 720 ma
jority To say that this result was not in
part attributable to Gov. Hamilton, is to
take an erroneous view of the subject, in
our Judgment. Gov. Hamilton took in
terest enough in Mr.. Blair to mount the
rostrum and persuade his fellow citizens to
support him, but instead of bene6ting Mr..
Blair his advocacy of him seems to have
resulted in positive injury. Ex-Governor
Whyte's weakness was demonstrated in a
similar way in Baltimore His brother,
Judge Pinkney, was on the regular Judi
cial ticket, which he advocated upon the
hastings with all the zeal and ability he
was master of, and yet that ticket was de-
feated by an overwhelming majority. These
facts and circumstances ought to be suffi-
Gent to give quietus to the aspirations of
both of thesegentlemen, and to silence their
respective friends 1t would be an act of
political telo de Sc to renominate either of
them, and the late election clearly demon
strates it. IF the Democrats would succeed
in the next Gubernatorial contest they
must take candidate who has no burdens
to carry.

Some fourteen governments fitted out ex-
petitions to witness the transit of Venus, which
occurred on Wednesday, at a cost of about
$4,000, O0O Besides observations were made
by colleges and universities, at considerable
cost also. The United States Congress ap-
propriated $4,000. The object of the obser-
vations was to obtain data upon which to figure
out the distance of The Earth from the Sun.
A number of observations have been taken
during several centuries past, and different
result has been attained each time. The dis
lance has generally been believed to be ninety
FIVE millions ofmiles, though some astronomers
have made it ninety-two millions and others
ninety-six What the last observers will make
it, remains to be seen, but no matter what
their calculations are, astronomers viii be as
eager to observe the next transit as they were
to watch this. % - sfas.-t

To endeavor to divert attention from
their own frauds and pollution of the ballot,
the Mahoneites in Virginia have instituted
an inquiry into the election modes of the
Democrats in the United States Court
John S. Wise, who has been awarded a
certificate as congressmen-at-large, is United
States district attorney, and is conducting
the investigation. So far they have not
unearthed anything to the disadvantage of
the Democrats On Wednesday, Congress
man Dezendorff, Republican, was in court
in answer to a summons, and being asked
about frauds at the last election, said he
had no personal knowledge on the subject.
When asked to communicate the names of
those whom he thought were cognizant of
frauds, he gave the names of Gen. Malone,
U. S. Collector James d. Brady, State
Auditor Allen, and all of the Readjuster
county treasurers and collectors. This turn
was unexpected, and will very likely break
up the investigation.

If local optionists cannot claim Queen
Victoria as one of their number, they can
claim her as among the sympathizers with
the cause of temperance. In proroguing
Parliament until February 10, she alludes
in her speech to the decline of the revenue,
but views it with satisfaction because the
decline has been on duties on intoxicating
liquors.
