This money, so foolishly lost, would have paid the interest on $11,(MH) of bonds, and what has the city gained ? Surely such economy as this is the perfection of wisdom, especially when Columbus needs every dollar she can scrape to gether. llad not Council passed the ordinance requiring men to pay two dollars twenty days before they voted, there is every reason to believe the tax from voting would have boon as much as last year. It now appears that with out accomplishing the least good a ma jority of Council deliberately threw away nearly $800. 1.04 a i. ititir.i s- —Rain commenced soft and dropping at night-fall and is now continuing;.

She will ho missed in the cir cle from which she has just emerged. Tho groom is in tho dry goods busi ness in this city, and is a thorough gen tleman. He lias many friends who are very strongly attached to him. The ceremony, which was performed in presence of a very large number, was beautiful and most admirably ex ecuted by all concerned. Amid tho solemn air the impressive ami everlast ing marriage vow was taken and tho same reminded us of these lines: •‘For still where the strong Is betrothed to the weak, And the stern in sweet marriage Is blest with the meek, Rings the concord harmonious, both tender and strong.” Manhood and beauty’s smiles gather ed in holy trust around the sacred altar. After t ho ceremony tho invited guests repaired to the residence of Mr. Beach. Here all was happiness. A most ele gant feast was spread, hut it is useless to comment when “To seek tho beau teous eye of heaven to garnish is waste ful and ridiculous excess."

Editor Enquirer-Sun: Permit me through your paper to make a reply to the article published in Saturday’s is sue in which the delegates of Muscogee >unty attempted to show that T. W. Grimes, Esq., is the regular nominee of the Democratic party for Senator for the 24th Senatorial District. In making this reply I'll simply say that I am prompted to do so from a sincere desire that the voters of the District may have a true statement of the facts as they ex ist. Tho report of the prodcedlugs of the Convention as given by the dele gates from Muscogee is not a full re port and consequently incorrect as I can clearly demonstrate. The Conven tion was organized by the election of myself as chairman and Mr. Thomas Chappell as secretary. As soon as the Convention was organized Mr. Nuckolls of Muscogee ottered a sot of resolutions and stated that he did so in accordance with the instructions given the dele gates by the Democratic mass meeting held in tho city of Columbus on Satur day the 10th Inst. The resolutions wero ns follows: Resolved 1st, That we utterly con demn tiie system of rotation that now nrcvailJi and henceforth will not bo hound thereby; that we regard such system as dangerous to the best inter ests of tiie party, and fraught with mis chief to the State. 2d, That in tho formation of a Con vention to nominate candidates the Democratic voters should alone be re spected, and that we think a fair, equal ami just plan would he for each county to be entitled to.one delegate for every' one hundred Democratic voters and the factional part thereof over fifty. The above resolutions w’erosupported by Mr. Nuckolls in a short speech, in which lie said that they represented tho Democratic voters of Muscogee. .Just at this point the question was asked as to how the Convention should vote, whether by counties or by delegates? My reply was that wo would vote by counties, and that it took a two-thirds vote to elect. This ruling was acqui esced in by the Convention. Believing tiie resolutions to he unjust and unfair and knowing that they wore contrary to all usages and customs that have heretofore been observed by all Dem ocratic Con volitions, I called Mr. Levy to tho chair and opposed the resolutions. There was considerable discussion, in which nearly all the Muscogee dele gates took part. Muscogee insisting on the adoption of the resolutions and Marion and Chattahoochee opposing. 1 took occasion to state that Marion and Chattnhooclieo would not bo bound by theso resolutions. Seeing that there was no chance to pass them, Mr. Nuck olls withdrew the resolutions. Dr. Bacon then moved to go into a nomina tion. I ottered as a substitute, that the Convention first settle tho question be tween Marion and Chattahoochee as to which w’as entitled to the Senator under tho rotation system. The point of order was made by Mr. Levy, that Muscogee w’as not sent to settle disputes between Marion and Chattahoochee, but to nom inate a Senator. I then withdrew tho substitute, and moved that the Conven tion go into a nomination under the rotation system. This motion was met with opposition. I then ap pealed to the delegates from Muscogee, and told them that we the dolegates, from Marion and Chattahoo chee had been instructed to nominate under flie rotation system as it now prevailed. Seeing that the Muscogee dolegates were not inclined to do so, I then moved to adjourn. The motion W’as put, and tho vote stood six and six, Marion nn*d Chattahoochee voting for, and Muscogee against. There being a dead lock or’a tie vote, and there being no other remedy, and thero being no one to decide, we the six delegates voting for adjournment had as much right to doclare tho Con dition adjourned as the Muscogee had to say it was not. Tho chair, it is true, decided the motion lost—but this lie had no right to do—for tho reason his vote w’as cast with his county. AT THE iXl’B WIWDOW. § FIFTH AVENUE 5 P. M.

BRISTREE’S Being left in this dilema, wo could do nothing else but retire. What more ould we do ? Muscogee would not nominate under the rotation rule. She would not lot us adjourn. She insisted on going into a nomination without re gard to county linos, and by that means defeat the rotation system. Tiie obovo is in substance a correct statemont of what took place in the Convention. We the delegates from Marlon and Chattahoochee then met at tho Rankin House, and it was agreed that under the rule Marion was entitled to tho noxt Senator. We then expressed our choice for Major E. W. Miller for Senator. We do not claim that hp is the rogulav nominee, but we say that ho is tiie candidate agreed on by the delegates of tiie two counties. In re gard to tho nomination of Mr. Grimes I will simply say that he stands on the same footing with Mr. Miller. He is simply tho choice of Muscogee, and Miller the choice of the other two counties. Neither one of thorn received tiie two-thirds vote, which was neces sary to nominate. I regrot as much as any man the present state of affairs. I did all I could to prevent it. Chatta- hooeheo eounty took the lead in calling the Senatorial Convention; it was called to moot in Cusseta. Marion re sponded to tho call; Muscogee did not. I offered a resolution in the convention at Cusseta to adjourn tho same to meet in Columbus in order that Muscogee might have a chance to ho represented. That resolution cor dially invited Museogeo to moot us in convention to nominate under the rota tion rule. Had I l>een actuated by any other spirit than that of conciliation I would not havo offered the resolution, hut would |have simply gone in with Chattahoochee and made tho nomina tion irrespective of the claims of Mus cogee. in regard to tho charges that we did not represent the wishes of our people, I’ll only say that we carried out our in structions to the letter and went hack to our imniodiate constituents, who have thus far made no complaint, in public meeting or otherwise, and will add that we did all we could to sustain the rule that has by •common consent prevailed in the three counties for the last twenty years. Rotation may In* wrong and it may be best to wipe out county lines in a Senatorial contest. If so, will tho rule not hold good as to the mountains in the Fourth Congressional District? < W. B. Bvtt.

Proctor. He says that this catastrophe hap pened probably a hundred years ago; the messenger which brought tlienews to us, though traveling at a rate suffi cient to circle the earth eight times in theeourseof a second, liautra versed millions ujion millions of miles be fore reaching us last November. If a similar accident happened to our sun the creatures on that side of tiie earth turned towards him would be destroyed in on instant, and the rest very quickly afterwards. The heav ens' would be dissolved, and the elements would melt witli fervent heat. The question is asked whether the earth is in this danger, and whether warning would be given of the coming destruction. The answer may be gathered from the facts mentioned in the article. There have been other solar confla grations before that which was made known last fall. Tiie first on record —observed by Hipparchus—oocurred 2,000 yearn ngo. It was seen blazing in full daylight, showing that it was many times brighter than Sirius, the blazing dog-star. It wus called a new star because it had ever been invisi ble until Us conflagration made its light temporarily visible. The next new star (or stellar conflagration) ap peared in the region of the heavens between Cepheus and Cassiopeia three times, A. I). 045, 1204, 1572, and is expected to be seen on tire again before long. This star remained burning at its last appenr- ance for sixteen months. It appeared larger than Jupiter and brighter than (Sirius. It did not attain tills lustre gradually, but shone fortli at once in its full size nnd brightness as If it lmd ‘been of instant creation. In 1596 Fab- rieus observed a new star in tiie neck of tiie “Whale” constellation, nnd in (September, 1004, a new one wns dis covered in Ophiuclius. In 1070 a new star appeared in tiie constellation Cygnus, remaining visible tor nearly two years. In 1848 another was seen which lias continued in existence since its ajquirent creation. • By the aid of the telespeetroscope—an instru ment combining tiie telescope and tiie spectroscope—it was found that tiie increase in the star’s light, ren dering the star visible, was due to the abnormal heat of tiie hydrogen surrounding that remote sun. But it could not be so easily decided whether the hydro gen was aglow with the heat of the star or whether absolute combustion was in process. In other words, was it a red hot piece of iron or like a red- hot coal? These star conflagrations, it is believed, are caused by contact with other heavenly bodies—meteoric flights traveling in eccentric paths, or those in attendance of the comets. The meteors attendant on a comet continue to follow in its puth years after tiie comet lias disappeared. The tail of the comet of 1848 must actually have grazed oursun. Newton’s comet nearly approached it. At any time we might be visited by a comet mightier than either, traveling on an orbit Jntersecting the sun’s surface, followed by flights of me teoric musses enormous in size and many in number, which, fall ing upon the sun, would excite its whole frame to a degree of heat far exceeding what he now emits. We have evidence of the tremendous heat to which the sun’s surfttce would be excited in such a case. In 1859 two meteoric masses came Into contact witli the sun. The downfall of these two bodies only affected the whole frame of tiie . earth at the very time when tiie sun had been thus dis turbed. . Vivid auroras were seen where they lmd never been seen be fore, accompanied by electro-magnetic disturbances all over the world. In ninny places the telegraph Btruck work, the signul men received severe shocks, and at Boston a flame of Are followed tiie pen of Bain’s electric telegraph, which writes the message upon chemically prepared paper. This was tiie effect of two meteors. The effect of a com et, bearing in its flight many millions of meteoric masses fulling upon tiie sun—should that take place —can be understood. Our sun seen from Home remote star whence ordi narily lie is invisible would shine out us a new sun for a few days, while all tilings living on our earth and what ever other members of tiie solar sys tem are tiie abode of life would inevi tably he destroyed. If a comet came out of that part of the constellation Taurus, arriving In such a time as to fall upon tiie sun in May or June, the light of tiie sun would act as a veil, and we should lie instantly destroyed, without knowing about It. If it fell in November or December we should see it for weeks,und astronomers would lie aiile to tell us when it would full upon the sun. The dis turbance upon the sun would be temporary, but there would be nost udents of science left to record the effects. Tiie chances are largely against such an accident. Our sun is one among millions, any one of which would become visible to tiie eye under such an accident, yet during tiie last 2,(M)U years less than twenty such catastrophes have been recorded. Mr. Proctor, tnoreover, reassures us in anotiier way. He says in effect tliut all but one of these conflagrations have impeared in the zone of the Milky Way, and that one in u region connected witli tiie Milky Way by a line of well niurked stars; that the process of development is still going on in that region, but that if there be among tiie comets traveling in regu lar attendance upon the sun one whose orbit intersects the sun’s globe it must have struck before tiie era of mun, und that in our solar system we may fairly believe that all comets of tiie destructive sort have been elimi tinted, and that for many ages still to come tiie sun will continue to dis charge Hits duties as fire, light and life of the solar system.
