The crowning act of usurpation is, how ever,to be found in the claim oi the Presi dent of the Senate to count tbe vote; t hat is, except os the mere ministerial officer— the mere servant—the mere hand—of the two houses, and counting in their presence as organized bodies, and therefore by their advice ami consent. The framers of tbe constitution were masteis of the English language. They knew how to express their meaning in words. And it is impossible to conceive ;that if they had intended the President of the Senate to count the vote3 they would not have mado the sen tence above quoted end with the words “count the votes,” aud the whole sentence to read as follows : “Tbe President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives,open alltlio certificates and count the votes.” ' . ; St Louie Globe-Dcmo-.ral. ; *- The utmost strength of tbo drish [tarty in Pat liamunt could only delay tho pro- «nt. on their investment in mills at the South, as compared with 8 per cent, on Northern mi it stocks.

The news papers told us that the ariention of the executive of Geoigia—and I have nothing but respect for that executive—was called to it, and tho newspaper interview repre sents him as sayiog that if be bad known otherwise he would still have done as he did. Mr. CAiiLtsr.E—Mr. Speaker, if that be tbe gentleman’s undewlanding as to the motives which actuated tbe State of Geor gia, I fail to seethe relevancy of the re marks which he has made this morning.

It will be observed that Dr. Felton’s re- j marks drew three rounds of applause, but it is not set down in tbe repert where they came from, though it ought, not to be diffi cult to guess. They were ail from the Radical side of the House. Another matter deserves attention. Mr. Speer paid his respects to the “Bouroou” Democracy of Georgia, as he called t hem, but somehow the J?'’. 0 rd omits that epi thet. Mr. Speer evidently revised the te- porter’s notes. That Is a. very common practice here, but it seems to me a states man ought, always to be willing to stand by In print what bo says iu debate. But enough for to-day.

Probable Present Solar Weather. -Vfto Jo -* Perak: \ Although the sun Is still dispensing his strongest rays upon the southern hemis phere and leaves our half of tho globe to the mercy of Arctic waves there is reason to believe that the solar fires are now burn ing unusually brightly Last fall a Paris astronomer, M. Thollo.i, reported his own observation of very striking protuberan ces, while from other t< ..rces the evidence pf numerous spots on the incandescent orb is multiplied. Mr. DawBonj of Spieelaud, Ind., has since reported among very many lesser spots a huge one cov ering two-thirds of the solar diameter, or 100,000 miles, and in his last report (for Decembar, 1SS0), Profeasor Newcomb notes as many as twenty-five faculae counted iu a single day. The reigning theory of sun spots, as stated by Flam- marion, is that they are due to “open ings formed in the outer envelope or photosphere of the sun, probably by gaseous eruptions issuing from volcanoes (tbe dark centre of the spot being the body of tho sun itself;” and, though it is still not settled tbat an increase of spotted area denotes an increase of solar activity, such is the generally accepted view. ■ We might tlierefore expect to fiud iu the earth’s atmospheric envelope at this season some evidences of exceptional so lar radiation—especially in our southern hemisphere, where the solar rays are ver tical. As the southern hemisphere has so much more water than land surface the effect of the vertical su n south of tlie equa tor is to evaporate the ocean water rapid ly, and tbe enormous masses of aqueous vapor tuns raised from tbe sea must ulti mately enter the trade wind system and find their way across the equator into the Noitb Atlantic andNotth Pacific ocean basins. The obvious immediate effect of an unusually hot summer in the austral regions would be the excessive evapora tion of Us seas; but the subsequent move ment of the densely moist air northward could be predicted as an inevitable result. if we may therefore judge of the pres ent temperature prevailing In the opposite hemisphere, (and hence of the evaporative energy the sun is now exerting upon I.a 1 vast expaDS of waters) by the melem o;. *- i*. as pwiti tu t imu niuiijv vs *i v laud by obstructing legislation in the Brit ish Parliament.

J. O. A. Clabk, D. D. This book brings the reader into tbe company of .Gladstone, Dean Stanley, Sputgeou, do Pressense, Punsbou, Lips comb, Overton, Rigg, Simpson, Fosj, Pierce, and many of the best spirits and brightest in.ellects of the Christian world. The last general conference of tlie Southern Methodist Church appointed Dr. Clark, of this city, agent tor the Wes ley Monumental Church, of Savannah. He was commissioned to secure tbo co operation of the different branches of Methodism in building so appropriate a monument to John Wesley in the scene of his early labors. As a means to this end, Dr. ClXTk conceived the idea of building another memorial to Wesley by bringing together the estimates of over one hundred writers concerning him in a volume, the proceeds of tbe sale of which would be devoted to the comple tion of the church. Dr. Clark is the edi tor of the volume, but may be not incor rectly styled the author of the book. .If these were all, the work, however In teresting to tbe Methodist church, would not bo entitled to*a review in these col- urns. But John Wesley belongs to the world, tnd the' world has come to recognize him as one of its greatest names. Greatness is of two Kinds; many- sided and special. Of the latter sort, By ron aud Loyola are types; of tlie former, Shakspeare and Wesley. No higher trib ute could have been paid to the diversity of Wesley’s powers than the election of a council of one hundred men to take tbe place vacated by. Ms death. The united attributes of them all would not have fur nished more variety than was displayed in Wesley’s faculties as a preacher, scholar, reformer, educator, organizer, governor, P' et, debater, philanthropist, mtssionaty, revivalist. While the volume is rich in the learning of the subject which specially Interests Methodists, its writers deal freely with its broader aspects. Wesley’s influence in reviving the comalose religious spirit of Englaud in all its cliui cites, established and dissenting, wrought a work as great and as vital as the reformation of Luther. The morality and religion which he implanted among the lower classes pre rented the Inflammable elements of the population from catching the fire of (he French revolution And saved Eogland in tho eighteenth century from the horrors of a reign of terror. * Considered singly, the monographs in the volume on special aspects of Wesley’s character and work are Of great merit. Dr. Clark’s contributions: are equal to the best. The tributes to Wesley by such sceptics as Lecky, Leslie Stephen, and Buckle, and by the historians, Macauley, Bancroft, Green, aud others, he brings out With fine effect. In its totality, the book makes a pleas ing impression of the essential unity of Protestant Christianity. “Unity without variety is tyranny; variety without unity i* confusion;” but here is variety in unity.

Judgment af firmed. Beyada a Ridiculous SteUo. The statehood of Nevada is a ridiculous farce. Here is a State with a population of some 60,000 with a more elaborate government than tbo State of New York. The heads oi departments consist of gov ernor, lieutenaut-governor, comptroller, treasurer, attorney general, surveyor gen eral, secretary of State, aud superintend ent of public instruction. There are three supreme judges, clerk of- the supreme court, State librarian, who is ex-officio curator ot tha Stale Museum, governor’s private secretary, and a email army of deputies, ail at exorbitant salaries. The revenue to support all this fuss and featk* era has been drawn chiefly from the tax on bullion and cattle, which In the past have furnished it liberally. There are fourteen counties in the State with equally elaborate governments, which have been extravagantly supported from tbe same sources, though, of course, all species of property have borne their share of taxation. But the flush time* have gone by, and, though the State's credit is good and It has a large school fund from which it can borrow, it is only a question of time when the resource* will be inade quate to meet tbe expenses. All aorta of propositions are belug discussed to avert tlie threatened danger— amendments to the constitution, a constitutional conven tion, dissolution of the State government, etc. Iu my opinion the best thing that could be done would be to abolish the State and either return to a territorial form of government or attach tbe Territo- , iy to California. It is merely a province Judg- > of California as 1'. Is, and is ruled by Cali fornia capital. When tbe mines were yielding largely and cattle ranged on a thousand bills we went alone as though we did not care whether school kept or not.

All fish taken in station ary nets lose’their favor. The reason is that they are allowed to remain in !hose nets until they are nearly dead or alto gether dead before they are taken out. The struggles of fish in a net even fur two hours only, injure their flavor materially.
