How a Bushel of Them Was Burned by Judge Overton in His Last Hours. Even so self-reliant a man as Gen. Jackson,” said a member of Congress toa STAR reporter, “had his confidant whom he freely consulted about everything, public as well as private affairs. This friend in whom Gen. Jackson re- posed such confidence and upon whose judg- | ment and advice he so mueh relied was Judge Overton, ot Tennessee, the general’s law part- |ner, When Judge Overton was on his death j bed he directed his wife to bring him | all the letters he had ever received | from Jackson, They had all been pre- served, even the most unimportant of | them.” There were enough to more than fill a bushel measure, and there, in his presence, while awaiting death, Judge Overton had them burned, Upon being remonstrated with against destroying letters that no doubt contained much of great value to the political history of the country, he replied that they also contained a great deal about individuals and private mat- ters. Gen. Jackson was then dead, and his old partizan was unwilling to ran the risk of havin The soufidence of his iitustrious friend violated. Judge Overton remarked by way of ex: euse for the destruction of the letters that their contents related to the pri- vate and public conduct of many people covering the period of Gen. Jackson's entire public service. He sald some of the letters contained charges, which the writer had lived tolearn Were unfounded and unjust and for the valuable publie information contained in the correspondence it would not do to risk an expostite of the personal matters involved. So the letters were ail burned. “Speaking of Gen. Jackson's letters,” contin- ued the Congressman, “I recently tead one written by hin many Years ago, and which is asa valuable index of’ the character of the man. Tt was written while Jackson was in Congress, to a friend. He wrote in substan ‘Immediately upon reaching the seat of gov— ernment,’ it was customary then to speak of the capital as the seat of government, ‘I made public the charges of fraud and dishonesty which you had imparted to me_ respect- ing the” general land office.’ The gene- ral went “on to say. that dn following up the matter he had discovered that | Academy of Sciences, secretary of the | sovian Institution, two civilans of high scien- THE SCIENTIFIC BUREAUS. Proposed Consolidation of the Scientifi Work of the Government. RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE NATIONAL ACAD- EMY OF SCIENCRES—A NEW EXECUTIVE DE- PARTMENT FAVORED—THE METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE, ETC. The Congressional commission to consider the advisability of consolidating the several scien tifle bureaus of the government have held Several meetings to consider the testimony taken and discuss their forthcoming report. The commission intend to proceed with delib- eration in making up their conclusions, and therefore it is not probable that the report will be presented to Congress tor several months yet. The testimony and opinions taken by the mmission cover abont one thousand printed octavo pages. By request ot the commission, the Natlonal Academy of Sciences appointed & committee to advise and assist Uhe former in its work, which Was defined by the act creating the commission to be to “consider the present organization of the signal service, geological survey, coast and geodetic survey and the hydrographic office of the Navy department, with the View to secure greater efficiency aud economy of administration of the public service by said bureaus,” THE REPORT OF THE SCIENTIFIC COMMITTER. The committee of the National Academy of Sciences, consisting of Gen. Meigs, W. P. Trow- bridge, £. C. Pickering, C. A. Young, Franels A. Walker and 8. P. Langley, submitted a report to the commission, the main features of which are as follows: “Your committee would cal connection to the report made by Academ: ress in December, 187%, in whieh the a consolida: tion of the then existing surveys were point out, In that report it, was recommended t the surveys should be two in number—the coast and interior survey to be concerned with the ation and mapping of the country and its topography, and a geological survey Gertake geological and economical investiga- tions, It would be a part of the duty of the survey to supply the maps for the use logical survey, and in order to secure the and harmonious co-operation of the two surveys it was recommended that the coust and interior survey be transferred to the tion in this Interior department, Congress adopted the advice of forming a single geo- logical survey, but’ did not” transter the coast surve; nor did it make pi as Was recommended, ision for the topographi¢ work necessary for the geological survey. The result has been that these two surveys do not covperate as they should. chief of the geological strvey has found it necessary to em- ploy a large corps of men in trigonometric Measurements. Your committee does not eel entire confidence that the union of these two surveys under either one of the executive de- partnients would, without other measures, essarily lead to that unity oF work which is rable. It therefore recommends certain her legislative measures, the jon for which will be made clear by a of the work done by these several organizations; but its members (of the committee) are entirely clear In the opinion that some one of the exec- utive departments should control both. It is jor Cougress to determiue which department shall exercise this necessary authority and control. IN FAVOR OF A SCIENTIFIC DEPARTMENT. ‘The committee call attention to the fact that two distinct and independent trigonometric surveys of the United States, under two differ- ent departments, are now in process of execu- tioh—one by the’ coast survey and one by the geological survey, while only the committee recommend U vice be converted into a weather bun placed under civilcontrol. The report declares the gene ntiment and wish of scientific men to be the institution of a branch of the ex- ecutive government devoted especially to the direction and control of all the purely scientitic work of the government, THE NEXT BEST THING. Should such a department, continues the re- port, be now impracticable, or should public opinion not be ready for it, the next best meas- | ure would be to transfer all such work or bu- aus to some one executive department, di- Vided into four bureaus, as follows: 1. The coast and interior survey to be con- cerned principally, with geology and hydro. nd to consist of the present coast and geodetic survey. The geological survey to comprise the present geological survey with its organization duchanged. 3. The meteorological bureau, to which should be transferred so much of the present personnel and functions of the chief signal office dis are not necessary to the military duties of that office. 4. A physical observatory, to investigate the Jaws of solar and terrestrial radiation and their application to meteorology, with such other in- vestigations in exact science as the government might assign to it. A PERMANENT COMMISSION PROPOSED. In connection with this organization the committee also recommend a permanent com- mission of scientific men to prescribe a general policy for each of these bureaus, that commis- sion to consist of the president ot the National ath tific reputation td be appointed by the Presi- dent; one offiger of the corps Of engineers, one | professor of mathematics In the navy skilled | in astronomy, he superintendent of th st and geodetic survey, the director of the geolog’ cal survey and the’ officer in charge of the meteorological bureau. This report, as will be seen, contemplated a meteorological bureau under ¢ivil jurisdiction, and the indications are that the commission,in their report, will adopt the material portion of that recommendation at least. The other re- commendations of the committee of the Na- | Uonal Academy ot Sciences will no doubt have weigh The commission have been engaged for more thana year in making the review of the work of the surveys which the committee assert would demonstrate the importance of carrying out the measures they (the committee) recom- mend. For years past scientific opinions have united in advising a reorganization and cou- solidation of the scientific bureaus, and the impression that this should be done has been growing iu Congress. The commission was inted to devise a plan to this end, and there js every reason to believe that the forthcoming report will submit suc a plan. Present State of Solar Activity. From the New York Herald. ‘The variations in the number of sun spots and facul since 1883 have recently been given by Nature. It appears that the last sun spot maximum was attained about the close of 1853, the interval from the period of least spotted- ness having been nearly two years longer than usual. Since that date there hus been a steady fulling off in both the number and areas of the spots. This diminution of spots was particu- larly marked in the last part of 1885, while the faculie have shown # very distinct though not so rapid a decline. ‘While such able observers as M. Tacchini, M. Wolf and Prof. Sporer in Europe and Prof. Todd and others in this country have dili- gently kept record of all the solar spots and prominences, science unfortunately is notable to ‘our friends,’ naming certain prominent men ‘of Tennessee, ‘are concerned in this dishonesty and peculation. But, he added that no true patriot ought to be deterred an instant In ex- ing corrupt schemes upon the government use such exposure would involve personal or political friends, He used the vigorous lan- guage of which he was 80 capable in denoune- ing corruption in the public service, and con- cluded by saying that he trusted and believed he would never be found wanting in so impera- tlve a patriotic duty as the uncovering of fraud, no matter whom it might affect, or what friends it might injure.” ee ——se0—____ How the Commissioners’ Plan Works. ‘To the Editor of Tae EVENING Star: ‘Statements by the teachers of the Analostan school building show that no school in that building has been closed a day during the cur- rent year on account of insufficient heat, A similar statement from the teachers of the Dennison building shows that every school room in that buliding has been closed at times during the same period, the aggregate number of days ing 46. ‘The plans of the Analos- tan building were submiite to und approved the school board. The Commissioners au- thorized some modifications in these plans and then adopted them for the Dennison build- ing without submitting the modifica- tions to the examination of the school board, These facts are regarded as significant by citizens who favor the school board plan of government as opposed to the “paid agent” system proposed by the District missioners. "The rule of the board provides that @ school shall be dismissed when the temperature of room is below sixt and the school In‘the Dennison, besides ‘being “dismissed ‘90 frequently, have’ continued in session many days with the temperature but little above the minimum named. ‘This has given rise to many complaints from children and and some of health at A family quarrel led to a duel between Trint- dad Alyares and Senor st ‘fell was will die. Alvares St laganapory whe, was nes charge zens of Chibuabua, greenback Pita Say positively Whether the decrease of solar ac livity means a decrease of the sun's heat re- ceived bythe earth or the contrary. The pre- ponderance of evidence seems to be in tavor of the conclusion reached by Prof, Balfour Stew- art, that “the sun is most powerful at times of maximum sun spots.” The climatological re- cordsot the last eighteen months seem also. to accord with what We might expect in a period of declining solar activity, as there have been marked deficiencies ot temperature in countries of the northern hemisphere where the ther mometer is best observ Makingallowance tor the different results arrived at by different computers of the sun spot period, it would appear probable that we have now very reached a minimum, and that before the present year closes thé sun's activity may begin to increase slowly again.
