Sometimes I stay to let them overflow.

To place my gain beyond the reach of

They scorn the strand who sail upon the

Yet oft think the ocean they've sailed DER

The Republican State Tick
at

We have laid before onr readers
the ticket nominated by the Rapub-
iican Executive Committee at Birm-
ingham last week. 1t exercised the
auth ,rity delegated to it by the late
Republican State Con vention, and in
naming a tickt carried out the de-
sires Of great majority Of the dele
gates of that body.
The convention did not say who
hould be nomlnsted. and thus the
committee was free again to exercise
its own choice and nominate whom
soever pleased its own sweet will.
1t matters not now that the noun
nations N Ade as u whole would never
have received the sanction Of the con
vention, Nor that the matter Was
referred to that committee for that
specific reason. 4av
The ticket goes before the people
as the regular Republican ticbet and
as such should receive Republican
support. Let the State Committee
set the canvass going Alright by lssu
ing . ringing, comprehensive address
on the State issues involved.

A BILL.

Directing the Secretary Of the
fr asury to ascertain the amount still
due aud unpaid TO depositors in the
Freedman g Bank.
Wher as the Freedman's s Bank was
established and authorized to do bus
mess as bank Of deposit under such
conditions and circumstances as to
create the impression that 1t was an
inherent and inseparable adjunct OF
the Depai tment Of the General Gov
ernnlent known as the Freedman Z
Bureau land Whereas the said Freed
mans Bank Was so differed, man
aged, and conducted as to induce the
majority of its depositors to trust
their money to the custody Of said
Fretdman's Bank under the fixed be-
'ief. amounting to conviction, that the
General Government had assumed an
absolute and unconditional RESPONSE,
bility for the money SO deposited;an
Whereas through this mistak en- belief
IN the responsibility Of the General
Government large numbers Of the
freedmen of the country have been
subjs cted to serious pecuniary loss.
which loss resulted solely from their
faith in and reliance upon The Gene
raj Government Therefore.
Be 1t enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives ofMe United
States of America in Congress assem-
bled, That the Secretary Of the Treas
nry be, and he is hereby. directed to
cause an examination to be made of
the books and papers Of said Freed
mans Bank with the object Of ascer-
tanning the amount which still re-
mains due and unpaid to The deposi-
tors in said bank. and to report the
amount so ascertained to Congress as
speedily as possible. 10 the end that
such legislation may be had as Justice

Has the Moon anything to
with the Rain.
SIGNAL OFFICE, WAR DEPT,
WASHINGTON. d. c.. July 8. 'S6.

w ASH1NGTON. ~. ". July y. o6.
Gen. SAINT. III Moore, Huntsville, Ala.,
SIR:-In reply to your letter of the End
inst requesting to be informed "if the
moon has anything to do with the rain, +"
I have the honor to refer you to an in
vestigation of the subject made by Prof.
Elias Loomis Of Yale College, published
in the Proceedings Of the American AS
sociation for the advancement OF Science,
Vol. 7, 1858, p. 80, and Vol. II, 1868, PIP.
1922. These articles summarize the
results of similar European studies and
contain his own conclusions obtained
from study of the Greenwich observa-
tions. Loomis concludes that cloudi-
ness is greatest about the time of last
quarter. But others maintain that his
figures do not justify so positive state
ment. French and English Meteorolo-
gists have more recently made contribu~
tions to this disputed question, but have
not arrived at harmonious conclusions as
to the reality of lunar influence.
1t seems to be admitted however, that
the moons heat cannot produce the
phenomena in question. NJ. Faye shows
that if the moons reflected heat is in the
same proportion as the reflected light,
such heat cannot produce change of
| Temperature of q thOusandth of degree
Fahrenheit. Lord Ross experiments in
dicate that the total heat radiated and
reflected is nearly ten times the amount
of light reflected, but even with this
amount the effect must still be insensi-
| BILE.
| Finally, Langley has more recently
shown that the heat received from the
moon is indefinitely small. This heat
cannot therefore dissipate the clouds and
whether the: phenomena claimed by
Loomis and others are real relations or
phantoms, is still disputed question.
The influence OF the moon, if any, is
almost inappreciable in the average of
many years observations and can haze
no bearing on any question of every day
life.
! am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
w. B. HAzEN,
Chief Signal Officer, U.S.A.
