The Future of the Republican
PaPfy.

Nearly every Republican paper we pick up
has long dissertation on the future destiny of
the Republican party. Of course they can all
point out exactly the reasons why they were
defeated at the last election, and Why they will
be Successful at the next. Now we do not in
tend to undertake to show the alacy of these
reasons, nor do we like very well to rob them
of the little bit Of consolation their conslusions
afford them; but by way of tempering their zeal
a little, we would remind them of declaration
of Speaker Banks made since the last election.
/ In speech made at the disuhop convention
in Massachusetts, few days since by Mr.. Hig-
ginson, he stated a conversation he had with
Senator Sumner few days before. In that
conversation Sumner said that Banks told him
that the late election secured the predoi1a,,es o.
the Democratic purity far dte nert thirty gears un-
less some unlocked for event should occur to
prevent it. Sumner himself spoke despairingly
Of the success Of his party. ,

New York Herald, a Fremont paper Exchange

Tine Fruit RudS UMimiRrcft

Col. MEpARY: In your paper Of about week
since; you expressed the belief then quito preva-
lent, that the fruit buds were killed by the Sc
we're cold; but careful examination Of trees in
different localities abobt the city, and at my
farm, miles west during the past 3 or days,
(since the thaw,) has convinced me that the
peach buds (anl of course other kinds, are not
at all injured There is an erroneous idea quite
prevalent that peach buds will not stand more
than about 10 or II degrees below zero. Much
depends on the condision of the trees, as to. the
ripenoss of the wood and buds when winter sets
in After a dry tall, like the past one, it will be
found that the trees can withstand more severe
cold than after moist fall like that Of 1885.

Reputation Of the Public Works
CONfrnptS

Contracts.
Mr.. BLAIR, Black Republican. intIodaced q
bill yesterday in the House, which provides
that portion of the contracts facetiously styled
agreements" in the bill, made by the Board Of
Public Works in November, 1856, for the re-
pairinss of Sections No. l, No. 2, No. 4, No. 5,
No. 6, No T. No. 8, Of the Public Works, be
disaffirmed and vacated, and the Board of Pub
lie Works are required to take possession of all
that, portion of the Public Works, and appur-
tenances thereto, forthwith, and proceed to ap-
point the necessary superin tendants, and make
all needful REPAIRS as soon as practicable.
If these agreements" had beeu,entered into
with any bank parties, we should doubtlesss find
this Legislature most earnestly engaged in pro-
tecting the contracts and protesting against
any interference with chartered privileges"--
but as the monied aristocracy of the State are
not interested in the controversy, the "agreo-
mepts" can be repudiated with impunity.
We shall see the result of this bold movement
We shall see whether Black Republicanism can
annul contracts with private individuals affect

ny the right Of tie Legislature to interfere with

supposed Discovery OF the Tower
'' ".i of Babel.

A correspondent Of the BostoH1'rayeler, wri-
ting from Beirut, announces that Mr. Place,
the French Consul in Mosul, has discovered the
ruins Of the Tower Of Babel
Six of its eight stories have fallen and crum-
bled into dust; but the two which remain are
SO high that they may be seen for fifty or sixty
miles around. 4 The base of the tower is quad
rangular, and each side about six Hundred feet
long The tower is made of bricks of the pu-
rest clay and of a white color which is little
shaded with yellow tint
Upder a.cloar sum- and as whole, this an
cient raonument of human skill and daring pre-
seHts fine blending of colors, which sets the
psinter's pallet at defiance. Before being ba-
ked, the bricks have been covered with charac-
ters traced with the accuracy of the, writing
masters. Near the top of the letter, the straight
strokes were adorned with fourishes resem-
bling the heads of nails. All was neat, regular
and severe; and, indeed, those who saw these
specimens of ancient caligraphy affirm that the
fathers of the human race wrote better hand
than their children.
Among the interesting discoveries of NJ
Place were certain inscriptions on filIets of gold
silver and copper, and also upon metal now
unknown, and which has somewhat the appear.
