The new City Council of Charleston was sworn in on Monday. It is an unusually strong body, and will do honor to tho city. Whatevkb efforts may have been made to save O’Donnell, the slayer of Carey, they were futile. He was hanged at eight o’clock on the morning of the 17th inst. Senator Butler proposes that the Constitution of the United States be amended by inserting in the Fifteenth Amendment the word “nativity” be fore tho words “race, color or previous condition of servitude”. Explaining the object of this amendment, Senator Butler said: “I expect to accomplish a great deal by it. By an examination of the Record you will find that the original draft of Article 15, Section 1, was as I propose, but on the motion of the Senator from Rhode Island, the word ‘nativity’ was stricken out. I was in that State at an election'not a great while ago and saw a man who had fought gallantly in the Union army—ho was a lieutenant-colonel and shot all to pieces—go to the polls with a colored man who voted, but the white Union soldier could not because he was so unfortunate ns to be born in Canada. Now, I don’t think that it is as it should be. I also found that in that State a man had to own in fee simple $134 worth.of real estate in order to vote. This is"contrary to the spirit of our institutions. -I want to get a .square vote on my amendment in the Sf iinte. I want to put the Republicans on record. If they vote against 'it, as they will, it will help us in the coming Presidential campaign with the foreign vote.” THK RECEVT KKD'HUXMKTM. At a recent meeting of the American Astronomical Society, at tho Packer Institute, Brooklyn, Mr. G. P. Serviss spoke on the recent red- light in the sky at sunset. He said this phenome non was seen in San Francisco ns early as the 20th of November, and subse quently in Havana and the Valley of the Mississippi. By the dates of its appearance in different parts it was supposed that the phenomenon had a progressive motion frofri west to cast across the continent. In England a similar light had, been seen on the 9th and 10th of November, and the dc- —A* *,w. • was the same as that seen in America. Various theories had been put forward • explanation of the phenomenon. Spine suggested that a bank of clouds might have been so placed below the horizon as to reflect the rays of the sun downward toward the city. Others thought that different densities, in different layers of the atmosphere might act as banks of clouds and pro* duce the red effect. This lasted at least an hour and a half after sunset and in some cases two < hours and i half. The same effect was seen before sunrise in Utica, Rochester and Buffa lo. Mr. Serviss showed by a calcula tion that the reflecting matter was sixty-one miles above tho surface of the earth. Consequently no matter could exist at such a height in suffl cient quantity to produce the effect He thought that the phenomenon was due to the fact that the earth was pass ing through clouds of meteoric dust This view was confirmed by tho fact that there had been an extraordinary number of large and brilliant meteors noticed in England and America dur ing the last two or three weeks. Professor Brooks also confirmed this view when be described . a wonderful flight- of telescopic meteors ho saw. Tlie earth was now passing through, a portion of space particularly rich in meteoric matters. Professor Oakley attributed tho phenomenon to' the moisture with which the lower strata of the atmosphere have been loaded during the last month. Through that cloud of moisture ihc Yays of the sun struggled. The violet rays were ab sorbed and tlie red came through. An Exacting Profession.—Girl Schurz has retired from the New York Evening Post. He finds the labor.is too severo and exacting. Schurz is hard worker, but not a steady worker. The profession requires the latter. The editor must not work five days out of tho seven, but every day of the week. To the thorough editor there is no abatement or remission of labor. His is the most exacting profession in the world, and therefore few succeed in it. The vocation really requires iron men with iron nerves and iron health. The public has no sympathy for the shortcomings of the editor oh account of ill health, and he must be always on duty, and when half dead, is expected to be a live man. Divines, lawyers and physicians have weeks of leisure, and are pensioned and allowed vaca tions when out of health, but rarely sympathy expressed for the failing icle is the overworked editor^ Nevertheless there is a joy in succeeding in such a profession, because so few can suc ceed in it and because success is really earned. Schurz has been the editor of three newspapers—the Detroit Post, the St. Louis Westliche Pott, and the New York Evening Pott. He has written able and comprehensive edito rials, from time to time, but he was never a thorough editor. He is much more inclined the desultorv work of tho politician, the stump speaker, and the writer for tlie magazines.—Jft/wauitee Witcontin. Gen. Ncgley’a views of the Next Presidential Campaign—A Good Outlook for Blaine. PrrriBCRQ, Dec. 14.—Gen. James 8. tfeg- ley,presiJent of the Union league of America, returned from Washington. In speaking of the meeting of the executive committee in tlmt city, he said he had not heard such speeches in ton years as those made by the gentlemen who clearly outlined the issues upon which the campaign is to be made next year. He was emphatic in his declaration that there was no desire to raise the bloody shirt or to reopen sectional warfare. Thereere, whowever, facts that would not down. Republican voters in the south wort denied the right to express their opinions at the polls, and when allowed to do so their votes were not counted. Notwithstanding that the southern democrats bad held the reins of government in the majority of southern states for tho past decade he said they had failed to enact one piece of legisla tion that would correct these abuses. They had, on the contrary, repealed every law which had been previously enacted tending to throw sacreduess around the ballot box, and to elevate the condition of the downtrodden and oppressed colored people, and to add to all they proposed, if given the. power, to break down many na tional institutions, including the tariff, which, if carried out, would result in the impoverishment of the north and give the south,cheap labor. Whether the north shall be solidified against a solid south, or all these evils avert ed by wise legislation or prompt action on the part of the republican party, are ques tions, he says, which will form the chief is sues of the presidential campaign. BLAINE’S CHANCES FOB THE PRESIDENCY. New York, Dec. 14.—Ex-United State* Senator Patterson, late of South Carolina, says that Don Cameron, ex-Recorder Quay and the other political leaders of Pennsylva nia, have recently resolved to support James G. Blaine for the presidency in the coming contest. These leaders declare that they have fought Blaine long enough and that his great services to the party entitle him to the nomi nation for which he has so long struggled ; They will no longer oppose so eminent a re publican, who is a native of their own state. Mr. Patterson says that Arthur is a good fellow, but he ha? been weighed down by his cabinet No one of his advisers is the kind of a man that a wise president would choose, while Brew ster and Folger are extremely unpopular in Washington. The ex-senator intimates that tho president would like to make Senator John P. Jones, qf Nevada, ids secretary of the treasury. He declared that Arthur com mitted a fatal mistake in not retaining all of Garfield’s cabinet; that if he had fallen in with the Niagara like current of sentiment and sympathy for the murdered president, he would today have no opposition for an other terms. Had Arthur carried out the policy of the man the people had chosen as their chief, with the agents selected by him, ho would today be the most popular mau in ■ he United States. As it is, the president has no influential following in any state. HU career is drawing to its end. CHICAGO NOT FAVORABLE TO LOGAN. Washington, Dec. 14.—A good deal ol speculation has been indulged in hero as tc tho signification of the action of the national republican committee in defeating the Frye proposition and sending the convention tc Chicago. Some very wise people have con strued it variously as pointing to Logan and the defeat of Arthur’s chances. Col. Martin, secretary of _the jnational committee, said influences go * in snch' matters bo does not think. Logan’s chances improved by the con- /ention being held at Chicago. Tho ten- lency is, he thinks, to work up a hostile t-f-ling among party factions, which- would be disastrous to the candidate. For this rea son President Arthur did not want the con vention held in New York state. Logan had always been downed in Chicago. THE CORN CROP. 1« How a Discrepancy In Figures Explained—The Net Amount. Washington, Dec. 15.—The statistician ol the agricultural department explains the re cent report on the corn production by saying that the estimates are based upon the actual quantity grown, which, for the year 1883, was about 1,560,000,000 bushels. This esti mate differs from the estimate made by pri vate individuals, the latter placing the pro ductiou at about 1,300,000,000. This ap parent discrepancy is explained in a measure by the difference in tho basis of compilation. The western crop reporters have ignored the soft and unmerchantable corn while tho de partment’s report is an estimate of the crop as harvested. The average yield pel acre was 23.1 bushels. Since the crop wm harvested the warm, damp weather 1ms se riously interfered with the proper drying ol the crop and has detracted from the market value of several million bushels. In the opinion of the otticer in charge in this branch of tho bureau, the total yield of merchant able corn does not exceed 1,200,000,000 bush els, and it is thought by some of the agentt of the department that the figures may fal! as low os from 800,000,000 to 1,000,000.000. “I don't suppose,” added the official, “that more than seventy five cent of the croj gathered is ever fit for market. This ycai the corn is in a worse condition than ever. We propose to tell the truth in this matter and are now endeavoring to get at tho exaci figures." Chloroformed Ilia Own Wife. Bath, N. Y., Dec. ll.-Charlos A. Whit ney and his wife Mary have lived apart foi six months. About cue o'clock on Tuesdaj she was aroused from sleep by a noise in hei room. A dark form hovered over her.
