There are men in the United States
Senate who cannot look with an de
gree of favor or consideration upon a
measure calculated to aid or relieve
the South. They are willingf toj ask
and receive aid in behalf of their own
pet measures from the Sorftb, bill re

opportunity is offered. Yesterday

vernment lands in. Florida , orl the

came up, and Messrs. Howe,! Ed

others raised numerous technical ob
jections to' its passage. 1
THE IMPORTANCE OF OBSERVATORIES.
A The Secretary of War, in an wer
to a resolution of the Senate respect
ing the uses of the Government Ob-
servatory, has transmitted in reply
thereto a report from Admiral Rod
gers, which sets forth that the work of
observatories is so compatible wit na
vigation that no cargo can be exported
or brought home except through! the
agency of astronomical results; that
astronomy lessens insurance so f that
. rio vessel can sair without its reputed
help, and that commerce could nave
no being .except from; the aids de
rived from ' astronomy, and 'finally
that Government observatories Jiave
an absolute money value to the world.

We are enabled, to state positively,
upon authority - which is absolutely
indubitable," first, that if - the limita
tion clause is stricken tfut of the
coinage section of the silver bill by
the House, it will be vetoed by Mr,
Hayes; and, second, that,- when so
vetoed, the veto will be sustained by
the Senate. We could give the names
of five Senators - who, having voted,
for the bilr as it now stands, would
certainly vote to sustain a veto if the
coinage limit were removed. We
are advised that rsOmeTteadert, of the
extreme greenback school desire" a
veto and the'eonsequent defeat of the
. till in order t to avail themselves of i
what they imagine would be the pop
ular demand for extreme inflation as
. a retaliatory measure, but we are ;
confident . thatu counsels of niodera
tion will prevail. The bill should be
sent to Mr. Hayes as it is.:
