Affairs in Washington.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-Twenty
five radical members of Congress had
a private meeting last night. A
member of Grant's staff was present.
It ia stated that tho President was
weakening under apprehension of
impeachment in September, and
would not remove Rollins. Tho
opinion is expressed that under yes?
terday's order from the War Depart?
ment, , the Southern States would
undoubtedly go Democratic, and tho
removal of the President, so far as
these present could go, was deter?
mined upon. The prospect looked
gloomy to . most members; but
Grant s election was regarded a patri?
otic necessity, which must be
achieved.
MeOullouh has issued a oircular
stating that parties desiring to ex?
change seven-thirties, due July 15,

Ta* POWER OP THE SUN'S RAYS.
During the present hot season, the
question appears not improper-how
great is tho power of the Bolar ray?
Of the several methods used for ob?
taining a reliable answer to this
question, we shall take tho follow?
ing:
Bousinganlt, tho Frouch agricul?
tural chemist, obtained 3,000 kilo?
grams of carbon in clover during one
season (three cuttings) from ono hec?
tare; that is, about 15,0U0 pounds of
carbon per acre. This represents a
^ heat of robre than 100,000,000 of
calorics, - or . a mechanical power of
300,000,000,000 pounds raised one
foot high.
lu other words, tho power of tho
. solar rays exerted on ono aero, and
during one season, grows a clover
crop under an expenditure of a force
equal to that of 1,000,000 tons falling
150 feet. Tho total force of the solar
ray? for sn nero r>f ground is, of
course, considerably greater, siuco
it, at the same time, also produces
evaporation of water, upwurd cur?
rents of air, &o.
DiSGCfiTED AT LAST.-As a surfeited
glutton loathes tho very name of a
dish he bas gloated upon till sick?
ened nearly to death, so the impeach?
ers in Congress shudder at tho very
name of impeachment. Note their
intolerance of tho carpet-bagger who
tried to start a new impeachment in
tho House on Saturday, and yet this
poor fellow, perhaps, only wonted to
commend himself to their favor. He
did not know what a satire ho was,
and that he was showing his hearers
bow they had appearecrtO the people
a short time since.

A Letter from Senator Doolittle In
Opposition to the Third Party
Movement.
WASHINGTON, July 13, 1808.
G. H. Ostrander, Esq., Danville,
Penn.
DEAS SIB: I am in receipt of your
letter of the 10th instant, in which,
speaking for yourself and a number
of other Conservative Republicans
of your town, you express a "sense
ot disappointment and regret that, no
better names had been offered by
the Democratic party to lead the
conservative and patriotio masses of
the people to victory, and the radical
Republican party to deserving and
merited defeat. As a gentleman and
a statesman Mr. Seymour holds our
respect, but ns a peace Democrat we
are indisposed to vote for him;" and,
you are pleased to say that, if my
name, among others, had been placed
at the head of the tioket, "all would
have gone well, and victory would
have been certain." Yon desire my
opinion upon the situation and "the
prospects of a third party."
I thank you for the confidence
thus reposed in me, and shall not
shrink from the responsibility ol
stating frankly my opinion.
I do not think the organization ol
any third party is wise, or can work
any practical good to the great cause
in which we are engaged. In thc
very nature of things, when greal
principles are at stake, there aro
and there can be, but two effectivt
political parties. "He that is no
for me, is against me," in politics a
well as in religion, is a truth upoi
which every wise mau is compellec
to act.
What, then, is the great aud para
mount issue? What is that grea
aud unpardonable wroug for whicl
tho radical party is now nrraignet
and should bo overthrown?
It is substantially this: In viols
tion of tho Constitution-in violatioi
of pledges made and often repeated
from the first battle cf Bull Run t
the end of the war; pledges to th
North to get men an money; pledge
especially mado to tho Democrne
to got their support in the field an
in the elections; pledges made to th
South to induce them to lay dow
their arms and to renew their alb
giance; and pledges to foreign powei
to prevent intervention-in violatio
of all these solemn pledges, upo
which we invoked the blessings <
Almighty God upon our cause, an
by which alone we gained strengt
to master the rebellion-in violatio
of the natural and inalienable rigl
of the civilized men of every State t
govern themselves, and in violatio
of the clear provisions of thc Coi
stitutiou, which leaves to each Stai
for itself the right to regulate su
frage, this party has, without trin
by ex post facto laws, disfranchise
hundreds of thousands of tho mo
intelligent of their citizens, and h
forced upon ten States and G,000,0l
of our own Anglo-Saxon race tl
universal and unqualified suffrage
700,000 ignorant and, in the mai
half civilized negroes.
This is tho great wrong for whii
that party is arraigned at the bar
public judgment, and for which
should be overthrown
To consummate the great wron
they have abolished all civil govei
meut and civil liberty even in the
ten States; they have established fi
military despotisms, wherein
rights to life, liberty and propel
are subject to the will of one mo
tbey have kept the Union divide
they have prevented the restorati
of industry; they have kept do'
the credit of tho Government duri
three years of peace, to a point
low that, to the shame of eve
American, the six per cent, bonds
the United States sell for only sev<
ty-throo in gold, whilo the bonds

They have encroached upon the j
rights of tho Executive; they ht
threatened the independence of 1
Supreme Court; they havo unjust
and without cause, impeached c
put upon trial tho President hims,
and, by every species of denunt
tion, aud even by threats of assu
uatiou, havo endeavored to force
Seuato to convict him, in order
place in tho Executive chair oue v
will uso all its powor to consumm
that gigantic wrong against the C
Btitution, against our plighted fa
against civilization, and against
own own raco and kindred.
Tho Convention in New York I
for tho purpose of organizing
overthrow tho party in power for
great wrong, and to restore
Union and tho Constitution, and
rights of tho Statos and of all
States under it. Now, I do not
tho nominations made at New Y
are the very best that could 1
beeu made for that purpose. 1
elements to be organized int*

uso a military figure, there wore :
Army Corps to bo organized into
grand army: First-The great
moeratic Corps. Second-The
Democratic Corps. Third
Conservative Republican Co
Fourth-The Civilized Soutl
Corps. The first, or Democi
Corps, was fully organized, <
ranks well filled, but not in suffic
numbers to secure the viet
There was tho War Democi
Corps, whioh supported Linoel
1864; but which, in consequent
the grout wrong obove-meutio
was ready to sever itself from tbe
radical army under General Grant;
and tbere was the Conservative He
publican Corps, of which you are
pleased to apeak of me as a leader,
who, 'or the same reasons, were
ready to join tbe grand army, and to
do all in their power to bring success
to our cause. Tbe two last are tbe
recruiting corps. They hold the
balance of power. As a matter of
policy, had the first office been given
to a chief of the one or tbe other, it
would have made our victory more
easy, if not more certain.
Everybody knows that the result
of this cdntest is to depend upon the
important question, whether we shall
be able to recruit those two corps in
sufficient numbers, and carry them
to the hearty support of Mr. Sey?
mour. If we can, viotory is with us.
If we cannot, victory is against us.
In my judgment, it is our duty to do
so. i The very lifo of the Constitution
is involved, and with it, the rights of
the States, and the liberties of the
people.
I cannot hesitate for one moment;
my judgment is for it; my whole
heart is in it. So far from relaxing,
we should redouble our efforts. Bear
in mind that the war was ended three
years ago, when a new era was open?
ed in political affairs; that Mr. Sey?
mour is a man of high character, of
unquestioned patriotism, of great
ability and experience, wholly with
us upon tho living and paramount
issue; and that, if elected, be will
mako n most able and dignified
President; and certainly no Pennsyl?
vanian will forget that, but for his
promptness and energy in forwarding
the forces of New York to Gettys?
burg, that great battle might havo
I been lost and Pennsylvania over-run;
while, in General Blair, wo have a
civilian aud a soldier whose prompt?
ness and iudomitnble resolution
seized Camp Jacksou, and saved
Missouri from secession, who always
stood among the foremost of the
War Republicans, iu council and in
the field, while the war lasted, and
wben it was over, was among tho
first to demand that for which the
war was prosecuted-the Union of
the States under the Constitution,
with their rights, equality and dig?
nity unimpaired.
Let us unite for a victory! Let ns
have peace-a peace which comes
not from a violated Constitution and
the despotism of tho sword, but a
peace which comes from a restored
Union aud the supremacy of consti?
tutional law, by which alone Liberty
is secured. Respectfully vours,
J. R. DOOLITTLE.
CRUEL KINDNESS DOWN SOUTH.
Suppose the Southern States bad
made their recent fight with France,
England, Russia, Prussia or any
foreign nation, and bad been whipped
in it-who believes they would have
been so severely treated since their
surrender as they have been, and are
to-day, by their brethren of tho
North? The family feud is, of all
feuds, the worst. The wrath of
brothers is the wrath of devils. Tho
radicals brag of their great "moral
ideas," their humanity, their special
philanthropy and charity. But all
these qualities seem reserved for the
Southern blacks; while every form
of tyranny, degradation aud spolia?
tion uro remorselessly put in force
against the Southern whites. God
preserve us of the Northern States
from any recipiency of snob benevo?
lence-such great moral ideas-such
radical charity! These fellows remind
us of a pious Irish philanthropist,
who used to steal an ox ever)' week,
but always quieted bis conscience by
distributing the shanks to the poor.
Verily, they are of those who "com?
pound for sins they aro inclined to,
by damning those they have no mind
to." They are pious, until they can
get a chanco to pillage; philanthro?
pic, until they can be profitably felo?
nious; and deeply enamored of tho
blacks-so long as tho blacks will bo
their standing army and voto their
ticket.-Neva York Citizen.
The total eclipse of the sun, on
August 13, 1868, will be of greater
duration than any eclipse for the next
two centuries. While tho sun is al?
most ut tho greatest distance from
tho earth, the moon is nearest the
earth, and tho moon's shadow will
puss near tho earth's equator-all
circumstances which increase the
eclipse, either in duration or in ex?
tent, on tho earth's surface. The
total eclipse will commence a little
past sun-rise, at Aden, (Red Sea,)
passes during tho forenoon through
India, and ends in the evening in
Now Guinea. Tho longest duration
of the total eclipse will be six minut?e
and fifty secouds-a duration greater
than it has been for moro than a

aud Malacca, and will bo aided by
several vessels of tbe French navy;
the Austrian expedition will go to
Aden. The Parliament of tbe North
German Union voted $16,000 for an

into effect is fixed by
SECTION -. A nd be it further enacted,
That all provisions of this Act which
require the uso of stamps shall take
effect at the end of sixty days from
the passage of this Act; provided, that

delay is necessary for the preparation
and due delivery of any such stamps,
he shall bo authorized to fix a day,
not later than tho first day of De?
cember next, for putting said provi?
sions relative to the uso of either of
such stamps into operation, and

fixed and determined upou, which
day shall then bo held and taken to
be tho time when that portion of
this Act which requires the use of
stamps shall have effect.
Those portions of tho enactment
not included in tho abovo section
take efiect immediatly on its passage,
w hich, of course, was yesterday.
