In our last two numbers we have
made some remarks on this subject aud
we will probably make maay more be-
fore the election, and before the next lie
gislature adjourns. There are various
opinions about the admission q the oil
and new SenAtors from the Districts la
which the representation vas changed u
its last session. Madison and iaz0o are
more deeply interested in the matter
than any counties in the State, lor Eea-
sons we have before given. The
representation Of these two counties has
been reduced, when it should not have
been done, and they are not now on any
equality with their sister countless aud
all they ask IS equal representation
This they have not, according to the new
apportionment law, and On account of
the unconstl itionality Of that law they
will contend FOR their original represent
alton. lrthey cannot be represented By
the separat5 Senators already elected
by them, they will have to submit their
interests jointly to the charge Of one
man. They are preparing themselves
for this latter contingency, agreeabiy %
a writ ofelection issued by the Govera-
or. To fill this very important station.

two counties on one man, withpu. the

PHILOSOPHICAL RESEARCHES.

A great change has certainly taken place in the eli
mate Of this Continen, since the creation Of our plan
cts. That this change took place at the mmence
ment of, or during the general deluge, is most proba-
BILE. The remains OF animals of an extraordinary size
are found in the high Northern ATTITUDES, preserved by
the ever enduring frosls Of that region and there is
no reason TO doubt that this state OF climate has con-
tinued since that period when the great fountains Of
the deep were broken up. Most certainly these ami
mails could not have lived in those regions for any great
length Of time in such a temperature as now exists, as
vegetation would not be sufficient 10 support, SO much
animal life. Professor Good states, that IN 1893, a
Tunpusian fisherman discovered the remains of an an
