l bo found that it was Impossible to cot thoj ' establishment into a satisfactory stato with- -

j cut pretty extensive chances In tho basc- -I ment, requiring, probably, an appropriationJ :' of somotliinar like $,V),000.

Tho Whlto House stands upon tho slope ofI hill, and, as it was originally designed, thoj sldo looking toward tho Potomac was tho

front. On that side, owing to tho shipo ofI! 'i tho site, tho basement Is open to tho nir,I1 and for a period its rooms were occupiedjl' by tho domestics of tho liouso; but on

tho sldo toward Pennsylvania avenue,ifhero tho land Is higher, tho baso- -

t ji ment wall everywhere abuts against thoJ ii earth and is without an opening even for

vontilatlon. 3Ioreover, tlio houso stands inill a sort of pocket, and tho draluago of thoI

il! eoquently after a whilo tho rooms of tho1 1 1 basomont ceased to bu used except duringfell. tho day j and tho domcftles nil had to sleepkl; cut becauso tho rooms were unwholesomo.'Sjl What Is necessary Is to clear out tho ma- -

by a straightforward declaration of hisprinciples and alms. Ho might have plantodhimself firmly on tho ground takon byhis grandfather, and, disavowing anyclaim to rulo by. dlvlno right as thoheir to tho pretensions of tho Comto

e CiiAMnoiiD, recognized no tltloto Iho crown, except such as was conferredon Louis PniLirrc In 1830 by tho frco Invi-

tation of tlio people This profession offaith, which would go to tho root of tho dif-

ference between nn autocratic nnd a consti-tutional regime, would no doubt havo costmm mo support oi tno legitimists, but Itwould havo strengthened Ills hold on thogood will of moderato Republicans who fearthat tho republic under tho present

may bo going too fast and too far.Tlio last general election showed that a

largo mlnoilty of the voters disapprove oftho harsh treatment suffeted by tho Cat holloChurch In Franco, nnd vlow with alarm thorapid approach to dominance mndo by ad-

vanced Radicals nnd Socialists In tho Cham-ber of Doputles. But it did not mean thatall tho supporters of tho 200 successful Con-servative candidates favored a particularaytiaslio pretender, or oven that most ofthem wero prepared to abandon tho funda-mental principle of popular sovorolgnty. In-deed, tho llonnpartlsts, bo far as PrlneoNapoleon can bo held to roprosont them,nro committed to tho theory that a plebiscitealone can supply a valid warrant for mouat ch-le-

authority. Unquestionably, tho beliefthat tho summons to rulo must como fiomtho poople, either directly by n plebiscite orvicariously through a legislature or conven-tion, Is shared by nil Frenchmen now Inclinedto adopt conservative opinions, except bydownright Legitimists, whose number Is fastdwindling.

If the samo political doctrine wore nfllrmcdIn bold and unequivocal language by thoComto nrj Paiiis, his presence In Francowould bo uo longer, what it now is, an Im-

pertinence, If not a munnee, to tho existingInstitutions. Had ho publicly discarded thewhlto Hag with all that It Implies, recogniz-ing that for him tho death of tho Comto vsCiiAMiioni) had been a snare rather than again, that for ono Legitimist adherent se-

cured by that event a dozen advocates of con-stitutional monarchy had been estrangedor cooled, ho would uofc U"' '

- " riirantnnflii...t.i expatriation, for tho shrowder Radicalswould shrink from provoking an outburst ofsympathy on his behalf. It Is true thnt aformal disavowal of tho Uouitnos preten-sions and traditions on the pait theComto un Paiiis would cnusu tho thorough-paced Legitimists to desert him and trans-fer their nlleglanco to f)ou caiilos, who, Ifmere right of birth vithout reirard to familycompacts be cojSui,.red, Is tho lineal repre-beutatl-

or onw XIV. Rut a Spaniardcan never reK Frauco, and nothingwould noro stiongly commend tho grand-po- n

.if Louis PmijiVPfi to the masses of Ids'Viuntrymen than the knowledge thnt Legiti-mists had renounced him for a foreigner.

Tno Comte ir. I'Allts lias had his opportu-nity and missed it. Hu might, perhaps, havohad tho choice between tho parts respec-tively enacted by his grandfather and byLotus N.ror,KOj, but ho has clung to thohollow distinction of the headship of thehouo of UonnnoN', nnd lie has lacked thocraftiness nnd daring with which tlio JJona-partl- st

aspirant deluded and betiayed thopeople. Should ho now bo banished, vei yfew of his countrymon will regiot him, norIs there any reason to bellovo that thoy willover call him back again.

Which of these two opinions of Mr. Cleve-land's honesty of purposo ought tho read-ers of tho AVir J'orfc Times to accept ?

IlliMuc the Trnltor.Just half way between tho last National

Convention of tho Republican party and tlionext, that very keen politician and vigorouswritor, tho Hon. Gr.owu: 0. Gouuam of Cali-fornia, opens unow tho Stalwart war uponthe Hon. James G. Rlaink.

Mr. Gohihm brings against RrotherUlaini: a charge which lias never beforebeen put so broadly, namely, that ho hasbeen n trnltor within tho ranks since 1872,contributing moro than any other man Ineither party to break down tho reconstruc-tion policy of tho R publlenn party, nnd

constantly for thosupport of South-ern Democrats in his own ambition to boelected President.

Is this true? Certainly, from 1S71 to 1873,Dlaine did a great deal to cheek the elTmtsof ceitaln Republican leaders to fasten odiousnnd oppressive legislation upon Southerncitizens during thoovll days of tho carpet-baggers. Does that constitute treason toihu Republican party? Do many Republi-cans regret now that tbo Iron hand of Fed

eral Interferonoo Is bo longer upon thothroat of the South ?

Certainly, Blaine did moro than any otherRepublican to dofoat tho nomination of Gen.Giiant for a third term as Fresldont Thofact stands to his ovcrlastlng glory. Arothero many Republicans who regret nowthat tho third-ter- idea, with Its monnco toliberty, Is forever out of tho way ?

Certainly, IIlaine rendered considerableassistance In tlio overthrow of Mahonolsm InVirginia, nud In restoring tho control of theStato to tho debt payors. Is that a blackmark agalust 13lai.se 1

it. is true, moroovor, ns Mr. uoryiAMthat Mr. IIlaine has been far less

conspicuous than cortnln other Republicanlenders as nn obstnelo to tho permanentreconciliation of tho North nnd South.

Theso things may all havo boon services totho Democratic party, as Mr. GontiAM

but wero thoy not also services to thoRepublican pnrty, and to tho country with-out regard to party ?

It seems to us that If this Is treason, It IsBhnred by tho 4,831,031 Republicans whovoted eighteen months ago to put tho traitorIn tho Whlto Houso.

ganizations should conduct their affairswithout damage to ench other, and tho planngieed to Is to bo presented to tho conven-tion of Knights to meet at Cleveland on May25. The tumble that tho trades unions com-

plain of is that the Knights threaten to ab-

sorb tlio smaller bodies, or at least obtainsuch a hold upon them as to Intel fore withtheir present governments.

The principle that shou'd prevail In bottlingthis difficulty was proclaimed nt the recentmeeting by Mr. Groiuii: G. Hlopk, tho Sec-

Pros. Kmerlck'a I.onsr Nenrek fnr n FallenMeteer lend kls Accidental Miiecess.

Tho llndiiif; of tho ffrent aerolite whichwas soon by many persons in Independencetownship. Washington county. I'n.. on thonight of Sept. 14. is told at length by tho Pitts-burgh Ditpatcli. About a month after tho aero-

lite was seen and was said to havo fallen, Prof.Jonathan Emerlck of William and JIary Col-

lege bognn scnrchlng for it. Ills search lodhim Into Butlor county, then into Allegheny,and. nlthougli he decided that If tho stone foilatu where It must have been near Claysville.he examined vory minutely all that region of Icountry lying contiguous to Claynvlllo, extend-ing his researches nortli and south of thatpoint for ubout six miles, and nlso spent sometime In wniidering through thnt part of WestVirginia lying adjacent to Washington county.On tho 15th of this month tbe snvunt was re-warded by finding the huge stone on the farmof .Mr. Frederick Miller, about two miles northof Claysville. It was lying at the base of ahigh hill, which is heavily timbered with oak.nod was deeply imbedded in the soil andalmost concealed from view by the deadleaves the wind bad blown over it. Thediscovery was only nn accidental occurrence.The Professor boing well ncuunintod withthe goologicnl strata of Western Pennsylvania,was engaged in locating a well for the Cinys-vll- le

Oil Company, nnd In tbe dUchargn ot thisduty stumbled upon the spot whero the Im-mense aerolite lay. It loiiuired three men sev-eral dnys to unearth tbo monster. It hud pen-etrated tbe earth until it came in contact withn or limestone, when this suddencheck of Its fearful velocity caused It to breakinto many pieces of all sizes and shapes, yotwhen the) enrtli was removed from around It. Itstill preserved its original shape, so that theProfessor was enabled to havo a photographmndo of it. and it only fell to pieces when thespecimen hunters tackled it.

Prof. Emerlck states that thore ato only IScases in which aerolites

have taller- - in the United States during tlio lastCO years. Besides these there are ail the dataor whose fall Is reasonably well determined.Thoio are also 74 Instances of aerolites lu nil I'lltlio dnte of fall is not given atithoillatively.Add to these 8(1 masses, which, from tholr pe-culiar composition, nro believed to bo aerolites,though the date ot their fall is not ascertain-able, and wo llnd tbaentlre numberot aeroliteswhich have fallen to be about 4.00.

Prof. Emerlck says this stone will weigh por-lmps 200 tons, being considerably heavier thantbe aggregate weight nt all wnlch have hereto-fore fallen. On nn analysis it wns ascertainedthat there was In its composition chromium,nickol. aluminium, copper, raagnosium, tin. itand other tnotnls and metalloids. m

It contained 87 per cent, of lion which may cabe rendlly worked. This Indicates that thestone is not of teriestrlnl origin, for while iron Rores aro abundant in nature, iron In tho metal- - flie stato is exceedingly rare. It nlso contains tlin a small ounntitv a substance called schrol- - Ubersitn, a composition which lias never been Hfound oicopfln aerolites. Its spocillc gravity IBla 7,412. about twice that of the Uurtisey. (., Haerolite, which foil on tbe 1st ol May, 18iu. The Ielevation of the aerolite was computed to bo aabout 52 mllos above tho earth's surface, nnd JIts path was nearly horizontal. Tho length of flIts vislblo path wns about ISO miles, and It mmoved from northenst to southwest. The time S

ot Its flight was estimated between 5 and 10 f.Jseconds, indicating a velocity of not leas than !j15or 20 miles per second. ij
