SNOW STORM.

On Sunday last there happened in these
parts n most extraordinary Snow Storm-
such a storm as we sometimes read of, rs
occurring in n more northern latitude. 1t
would puzzle the, oldest inhabitant' TO re-
member just such II orc here. 1t COM
menced some time daring Saturday night,
falling il littl" fir" Jumps, resembling slcet,
penetrating through roofs Of houses that
were entirely secure from rain, n most des-
perate northeast gale blowing all the while.
This continued through the day until late
in the afternoon, when the wind lulIod, the
snow flakes became larger and commenced
falling in beautiful regularity. 1t continued
to snow on Sunday night, and the wind
blew and howlcd disma'ly. Monday morn
ing was clear, calm and cold ; the sun shonc
upon a magnificent prospect of a snow from
three to six inches deep.

THE TARIFF,

The expediency of reducing tic Tariff,
seems TO be the most important matter, that
is now being discussed in Congress. The
subject is ~cliciting much discussion in vari-
Gus quarters, and is very generally favored
by the Press of the South. The immense
surplus revenue on hand, rs reported by
the Treasury Department (about sixty mil
hons of doIlars) will doubtless, if it remains
undisposed of for any considerable length
of time, operate with serious effect up
on the monetary affairs of the Country
Under the present Tariff rates, the revenues
greatly exceed the expenses of Government,
and 4 general modification must be resorted
to; or else, the large increasing surplus
will lead to n practical PRONUNCIATION of the
leading feature in Whiggery, and the money
expended under 4 system of Internal In
provement.
Mr.. Boycc of this Stale, has taken ar nc.
tive part in the matter, and intr oduccd Il
plan of modification but his proposal to
place n light Tax upon Tea and Coffee,
does not seem to meet with general favor.
The exigenccs of the case demand promp.
and efficient measures it has already been
delayed too long, for should a bill for the
general revision of the Tariff be passed
this Session, which is doubtful, it cannot
take effect before the end of the present
fiscal year.

FOREIGN NEWS.

The latest foreign news, which we copy
from the Charleston Standard of Sunday
morning, will be found important both po-
liticaliy and commercially. Another ad-
vance on cotton is reported. Previous TO
the reception of this news, there was a de-
cline in our home markets. in anticipation
OLA falling offin the European Market, prcdi-
Gated upon the fact, that the receipts of cot
ton at the different Southern ports, up to
this time, exceed the receipts of last year
to the same date, by $4,000 bales. This fact,
when received in Europe may induce a de-
cline, but not ultimately, as the crop is un.
dCubtcdly short, and has been hurried into
market in consequence Of the unusually
high prices.

KANSAS.

The plague, says The Charleston Stand
ard, has broke loosc in Kansas again. The
Free State Legislature assembled at Tope-
Ia on the eth instant, and were going qui-
city on to regulate the affairs .. the coun-
try to their own notion, when, upon afida-
vii of the facts taken, it is said by the indie
f~atigable Sheriff Jones, before Judge Cato.
a warrant for their arrest was issued and
about seven were taken and will be carried
to Tecumseh for trial. The charge is, that
they have assembled and broken the oath ms
members of the Legislature, and so doing
have committed an overt act OF treason to
the Government of the URitcd States, by
whom they have been vested with no such
authority rs they assume.

BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION.

An exciting debate was had in Congress
on the 9Th inst, upon the Introduction of
the following resolution
"Nhereas certain statements have been
published charging the members of this
house with entering into n corrupt comb
Da'lon Tor the purpose Of passing and of
preventing the passage of certain measures
now before COngrcss--therefOrc
"RtsOlrcd, That n committee of five MEM
oers be appointed by the Speaker, with pow
er I" sono for persons and papers, TO inves.
tlgate said charges; and that the comm ittcc
report the evidence to be taken and hat
action in their judgment il necessary on the
part of the House, without unnecessary
delay"
During the debate, Mr.. Paine stated tina
a proposition had some time previously
been submitted 10 him by u member of the
House, offering the sun Of Fifteen Hun.
dred dollars for his vote upon the Minnesota
land bill. Had this Mr.. Paine promptly re-
turned the offer with n slap in the face. or
had he administered to the dastardly scduccr
a c~as,igation similar to that inflicted by Mr.,
Brooks upon Sumner, he would have mcri-
ted the everlasting gratitude Of every honest
and upright citizen, from every quarter of
the Union.
Mr. Paine did not give the name Of the
member who attempted to bride him. bu,
he is supposed to be Francis s. Edmond. of
New York.
