The Locoioco Press seem rather at loss for sub
iec, matter whecewi,h to condemn and embarras,
the Administration The Globe, following the
prompting Of the Richmond Enquirer has com
menced harping upon the votes of Mr.. Webster,
when he first enteled Congress, and hence can
observe every day or two, in that paper. long and
elaborate Efforts to stamp Mr.. Webster as Fede-
ralist Of the olden time. He seems, indeed, to be
the only person in the Cabinet agaiost whom their
enyenomed arrows pointed, with theh hope their
part. make political capital out of their yitupe-
ratye assaults. il is known that when the lnaugu-
Jal Of the late President was promulgated, the
Globe attributed its authorship TO the Secretary OF
state, saying it was Websterian throughout" and
ever since beth the galvanized corpse" and the
great ''mpovcrisher of Virginia" have kept up
though harmless batteries. Tue, the accession OF
Mr. TYLER seems to have disarmed the " II. En-
quirei" Of Of bis darling hobbies, the pretend
I'd sbolitonism Of Mr.. Granger, which the editor
Intended to operate us sde-stab TO the Admins

Federalism Of ID. Webster" and hence be and
the Globe are busy pulling the wires for the pur-
pose Of bringing to tie attack the party presses
throughout the land. But the " democracy OF
numbers" have entire confidence in the President
md his able Cabinet, and viii heartily respond
fueh measures they know are calculated for their
general welfare, and will no doubt be proposed to
their representatives, very shortly to meet, not
wthstsndiog the unprincipled attacks Of these fac

STEAM FRIGATE LAUNCH.

The steam frigate Mississippi was
launched from the Navy Yard at Phla-
delphia, on Wednesday, the 9th instant, in
fine style. An immense concourse Of
spectators was gathered together on the
occasion, occupying all the adjacent
wharves, and steamboats,, sail vessels, and
every thing capable Of floating.
The keel of the Mississippi was laid in
August, 1889, since which time daily
average of about 100 men have been en-
gagged upon her-a period Of 81 months.
She measures twelve feet more in length
than the great ship Pennsylvania, launch.
ed from the same building and though
she has a few feet less of beam, her wheel
houses give her the appearance of much
greater width. Her dimensions are as
follows:

THE WEArHER--THE FREsHRT-THE
MAILs.-An old fashioned western snow
storm set in about noon yesterday, and
continued almost without intermlssion IN
| til nigh, fall. This We fear viii add to
the freshet which already oyerfows the
banks Of the Hudson TO considerable ex.
tent. We may expect to hear Of consid.
cradle damage done to property by the
sudden rise ofihe streams in different parts
Of the country.
From Jefferson county, we have ac-
counts OF disasters, chiefly along the
Black River, where the water is 6 or 8
inches higher than during the freshet OF
1888. The dam at Brownyiile, upon
which all the hydraulic power Of that
place depended, has been swept away.
The main boom at Dexter, has also given
away, and acres Of saw logs to az inn
menss value have foated off into the bay
and lake.
We are apprehens;ve Of accounts from
the West. We have had four runs OF
cars from Auburn, but nothing west OF
that place since Friday evening.

MAY Snow SroRM.-The snow fell 10
the depth Of eighteen inches last night at
Grafton, Rensselaer, County.

Snow IN MAY.--We had quite brisk
snow storm this morning, which commenc-
ed about one O'Clock continued through
the night and several hours this forenoon.
The snow however, melted as fast as il
fell. This is, truly, "wnter lingering in
the lap of May" at least Miss May had a
lap full Of winter to-day.
1t is as uncomfortably cold, with a
chilling north wind, as can well be I'M.
agined. But some Of our neighbors down
Eas, are WORSE off than we are. A cores
pondent Of the Kennebec Journal, Sup

date Of April 2lst, that for five months
the only chance he has had TO see the

mysterious as were those Of Egypt; AL.
