Prince Bismarck can hnrdly etnin: to have been n siceess as n practical professor of thd selence of political economy. When he hat consolidated the thirty Stntesof Germany into an Emplro of whteh Prussia is the central and controtling authority, hw permitted hin golf to bo cecelved, just as the Anterican statesmen then in power were deceived, Into Agenern! change of the monetary system of tho Empire. He abolished silver money, (which had been the standard coln of all the German States for ages, and made gold the sola standard, in his effort to sell tho silver he nad degraded and purelinse the gold ho hud maddy searce and dens, he lost some $25,- 900,009, nnd then hud to suspend the busl- ness, Sines then Germany has hod nom!- nally a gold standart, but a lnrge amount of silver 13 still outstanding, and iy still a lesal tender in spite of Bismarck, white tho Ger- man Government has had the utmost dif culty in retalning enough gold to perform the exchanges oven in official trinsactions, ‘The German Chancellor's next step was to embrace the delusive theory of * protection.” Lo would encourage Industry by taxing con- atiners tnd inerensing the cost of produc. tion, nnd reward Inbor of certain classes by inerensing the cost of the necessaries of life ta the mussesof the people, Germany, by virtue of free trade and cheap production, hada inrgy export trade, whieh gave her manufacturers n large market in Europe and, {uncertain lines, in this country, The Gers man Chancellor, under the plea of, protec- tlon, Imposed an Increased duty on all the materials {mported by tho manufacturers; he also huposed new or additional duties on allurticles of imported food. ‘Tha elfect was to render Ilying dearer and cause hardstitp and discontent In the clifes and towns, Labor being thus henvily taxed, a demand for increased wages was granted by the employ- ers, and the German manufacturers, though protected by heavy duties from the competl- tion of France, England, and other countries, found themselves at once confronted by the natural, but to them hitherto unfelt, conse quences of protection, They found thelr raw miaterial nid thelr wagesso Increased that they could not produce thelr goods except at a cost which forbade their exportation and sale In competition with free-trade England, and therefore thelr wares and fibrics for export were fn large measure suspended. It is true they had the hume market, but the great ad- ditton to the prices of goods under protective taxes and the inereasy Ii the cost of food and other itenis of Hving had the effect of redu- cing the purchasing power of the country. The wages of Inbor, after deducting tre In- erensed cost of food, hnd tess purchasing power than before protection had Increasud the cost of living, and therefore there were less goods bought in the home niarket, and the sale of goods for export, just as In our protucted country, was largely destroyed, Consumpiton bem thus reduced In both home nud foreign markets, fewer goods were needed to be suanufactured, less Jabor was requived , wills were Hinited in their produe- uon, und protected labor in Germany lias been seeking escape from poverty and dis- tress by emigration to othor countries.

The Royal Astronomer of Ireland, Dr. Ball, delivered at Birmingham, England, Inst month a lecture which Is Nicely to wark sn epoch In the study of geology. Tho general subject treated of was the tides and thelr influetics in retarding the earth’s motion, ‘The lecturer demonstrated that such an lifluence existed, and Incidentally offered the first plausible and suflicient ex- planation of te phenomena of the drift porlod that wo have ever seen, The drift ts disintegrated rock, Snnd is pulverized quartz. Loam is a mixture ot small mineral particles with decayed vegeta- tion which Is Itself of mineral origin, ‘The surface of the earth originally was slightly corrugnted. Coniparatively speatcing, It was as rough In proportion to its slzo ng the skin of an orange, 11 the process of cooling and contraction clevations and depressions were caused, There wers enornious fissures, val- leys, and mountaing,;..but the surface averywherg must vhavesteen grant and quartz ang other rocks ,aimost ag hard as adamant. How.did tt happen then that thts hard, rocky surface of tho earth became cov: ered with sand, grivel, and soll to the depth In many places of hitndreds of feet? By what mysterlous operation of naturo was this first and requisit condition to the exist- ence ot vegetable dr aniinal Hfo provided ? The books say that the drift was formed partly by the altertinte sinking and raising of the land surface below and above tho level of the ocean, and partly by the action of gla- elers, Dutitmay be doubted whether tho mind of any reflecting man has been com- pletely satistied by this explanation, ‘That the enrth has been covered by water many times Is evident. The action of the water and its irresistible power areappnrent, But tt Is not so clear how or why the land surface was ralsed and depressed, Mow It could have moved en masae after the rocks became suflictently cooled to permit water to collect on thelr surfaces has ever been an impenetrable mystery. Nor 1s tho glnctal theory any more conelustye. ‘Tho moraines of glaelers nre clearly discernible, wnd that the action of these immonse flelds of {ec con- tributed to tho general result we do not for one moment question, Still, It ts clearly Im- possible that glaclera should have done all or any great sharo of the enormous work the evidences of which are alt around us. It fs only from mountains they move and de- scend, - ‘They could not cover vast plains with dpift material, Dr, Ball's oxplanntion Js that the tides were the primary ngonts In grinding the rocks and pulverizing tho face of tho carth, pro- dueling from granit and quartz, sand, gravel, and mud or clay, ‘Kho tides are caused by tho attraction of the moon, ‘This attraction Is Inversely as thesquare of the distance betweun the bodies and the hight of the thdes Inversoly as the eube of the distance, Tho distance of tho moon from the earth, hag not always been the same as now, Astronomers tell us that both bodies were originully parts of the samo mnass.of nebulous matter, When tio moon first aysumed a solid Corm lb was much nearer to the enti than t¢ Isnow, Dr, Ball estt- qintes that the distance between the earth and the moon was nt first Hot more than 40,000 miles, It 1s now 240,000 miles, or alx thnes what it was then, aud tho distance fs continually incredsing as the operation of the moon's centri{ugal power over the earth's Attraction sends it farther away and {n- crengos the dlamuter of {ts orbit. When the moon was but 40,000 miles away from tho earth, or onc-alxth of its presunt dlstunce, the tides must havo beon to those of the. present day inversoly as the cube of tha distance, or aa 816 toane, Aud it tha ocegn tiles now rise three feet they must have risen at a foriner period to the hightoft 600, 700, ur even 1,000 fect-In places. ‘The earth, It fa belleved, then mado a revolution on Its axis in three of our presunt hours, ‘The tides must hayo been, thorefore, not only 200 times more powerful, but six or eight times more frequent than now. Twieg In . every three or four huura theso vast masses of wator, aufficlont in depth tu cover all the surface of thacarth except the mountalns and high tablelands, were hurled upon the Inad, ‘Tho rushing cataract detached bowlers from the granit surface and ground them in pleces; aud as the drift Increased the arind> tug powor of the water Jn connection with It became greater, ‘There was powot in thess mighty rushing foods, contluulng for tens of thousands of years, to account for all tue gand and gravel drift now upon the surtace of tho earth. .

ARTHUE, THE AQTING PRESIDENT. Wo observe that cartain'of our estecmed contemporaries are disposed to dispute the designation of Mr. Arthur as the “ Acting President” of the United States, But ime derthe Constitution nnd laws he fs nothing ulse, and can be nothing more, The President js distinguished In 2 par- Uculur way from all other officara known to our system of government. In tho first place he fs the chotcu of a mufority of all the Electors for that oftics and no other. In the second plnco he fs chosen for the term of four years, Now, Mr. Arthur was not the eliolee of a majority of the Electors, or any of them, or of ninajority of the pedple, or any of them for the office of President. lic di not receive one yote out of the 869 enst by the Electors or one out of 9,000,000 enst by the péoplu for tno Presidential candidates, Even as a can- didate for the Vice-Presidency Mr. Arthur owed bis election to the prominvnce and popttlarity of another min, Secontly, the Constitution provides that “the President shall hold ofitee forfour years” Ms. Arthur will not hold office for four years. His in- enumbency dates from Sept, 19, 1881. Tis term will nobestend untll Sept, 10, tess, It will explre March 4, 1885, The duration of {¢ will be, therefore, precisely three years fivo months and fitteon days, The fret that it will not extend four years fy acquiesced In by tho entire people, Itis cumulative proof that ho fs not the President, but the Acting Prostdent,” filling out a vacancy created by assasination of the actual President, But there ts still nnother and more conclu- sive demonstration of the legal proposition that Mr, Arthur {s simply the Acting Prest-. dent. The Constitution explicitly confers this title upon him, ‘The Twelfth Amondmont to tho Constitution regulates the mode uf choos- ing tho President and Vice-President. Ifthore had beuu any previous doubt as to. the pow- ers and duties of cach It was removed by this amendment, which was adopted {n 1801 aud supersedes all of the orlginat Instrument re- Jnting to the same subject, In this Twoltth Amendment we find the following Innguagu: Uf the House of Representatives ebull not choos 4 Presidont whonovor tho right of vhoice snail dovolye upon them, bofore tho 4th day of March next following, thou the Vieo-Prusident shall ACT 08 Prealitent, aa fn the cave uf the death or other conatitutiontt disabitity of the President. * Ifono who “acts ns" President fs not an Acting President we should like to know whathols. The Twelfth Amendinentchanged the orlginal relations between the Presidont and the Vice-President, in accordance with which thoy were supposed to bo equally chosen by the peoply to the highest office, and the selection of one of them as President was left to the Mouse of Representatlyes, After tho ratification of this amendment the Vice-Presittency beenme distinctly the sub- ordinnte office, and men of yery tuferjor ea- pacity and attainments haye been chosen to {ll it. Thenceforth it was imposstble for the Vice-Prealdent ever to be tho President in the full meaning of that word. Ile was au- thorized by the Constitution merely to “act” ag President in tha case of the death or other. constitutional ‘disabitity of the President. + Wehope it has been clearly mado out to the satisfaction of our esteemed contempo- rartes that Mr. Arthur {s the mere “Acting” President of tho United States, ee THE BOURBON OUTRAGE IN MISSISSIPPI.
