Cold in Utah.

Kirk Anderson, of The Valley Tan, does
not confirm some Of the;accounts from Salt
Lake OF how that favored potion OF the
couDtry enjoys in mid-winter the soft breath
Of the most charming season in Italy. The
following is the description Of the Salt
Lake climate IN the middle Of December:
"An ambulance, containing three passen-
gers, Vas found, one day las; week, upon
the road between this point and Fort Brid-
ger, frozen stiff. 1t appears tina; the fore
,eet of the lead mules were frozen while in
the act of stepping forward, ana the entire
team stood in studied attitude, resembling
highly finished bronze statues. One oi
the passengers, was, in the act Of pouring
some coghac from flash in a cup, when the
piercing blast came upon h IN, freezing him
and the liquor, the latter presenting the sp-
pearance OF an jcicle, from :he mouth of the
bottle to the cup. A second passenger, who
had been enjoying a smuke, was observed
ith wreath OF smoke irnzen as il ascen.
ded upward. The third had been attempting
to light his pipe, he had lit match which
had bhz-d up only to be frozen. Only
think Of weather cold enoubh 70 freeze fire.

HThe Indiana Senatorial contest is
nov Coming 10 head. McCAKTY and LANE
the newly elected Senators, have presented
their claims to the seats now occupied By
the sguatters, BEIGHT and FITcu. The
claim is a very strong one, setting forth the
illegality Of the election of the present in
cunbent. An impartial observer would no,
hesitate to admit the justness of the claim
but the prejudice OF party is sa feguard to
all manner OF crime. By strictly party
vote, these men were forbidden the usual
courtesy of the Senate, that of a seat on the
aoor while their rights are being considered
This vote is an ex xronent efthe final decis.
ion. But if there can oe nothing done this
session, there may be something next fol
the complexion of the Senate will bt
changed. sad we hope justice will be bette
respected. There is nothing that th'
American people need deplore SO much a
the supremacy of party over right.

Visiting the Sins Of the Fathers
on the Children.

A b:il has passed the House Of Repre-
sen!a,ives o; Georgia, by vote OF 56 to So
prohibiting the Marriage Of first cousins
under severe penalty, and cutting off the
inheritance o. issue. The preamble to the
bill asserts that many deiormations OF mind
and body are caused by uear kindred inter-
marrying.
Cutting off hc inheritance Of the untor-
tunate children OF these marriages, is like
the plan once proposed by an eminent Bos-
ton Editor, who rustcated for sume time in
this State, for stopping the alarming in
crease of suicide, by legal provision that
their property should be forfeited TO the
State; to which wicked Cincinnati editor
ADDED the suggestion Of a prosecution o.
their heirs, administrators, and assigns.

but all Of no auail. He looked as much like
a dead man going about ss anything we can
compare him to. His disease appeared to
be an ouerfopino Of the gall With hard
persuasion we prevailed on him to try your
Bitters, with the premise to him, if it did
no good, we would charge him nothing for
it, provided he took six bottles according to
the directions, which he has done, as is
now entirely sured, and has become a well
man This cure has created a great sale
in this neighborhood." Respectfully.

Financial Affairs in France.

The following remarks If The Constitu.

ing which Pervadss the Paris press:
"The foundation of our financial, IT, dustri.
al, and commercial edifce is So solid that
the crisis which regarded in the two worlds
with such unexampled intensity could not
even shake US. Whilst the great CONNER.
cial matt Ms OF the worid-;ho United States,
England, and Germany-were prey 10 the
most frightfuI perturbation; when the best
established houses were there suspending
their payments, the bankruptcies with us
did not exceed Their usua! average. All the
difficulties which caused to much a arm hove
been got over naturally, and in the ordinary
course of things, and we have now resumed
our upwtrd progress. Money is abundant,
disp sable capital fiiws in, the rate of in
trrest has fallen to the lowest point, the
rente has risen beyond 73; and what proves
that speculation has nothing to do with this
upward movement is that it was the day be-
fore yesterday quoted as high for cash as
for the end Of the month. Every thing
poesages u fresh period of activity aud de.
velopment, which is only yet vt it's com.

DR.. Livingstone and Central Africa

- A-A' -A'AAAo~S> ~-
This perseveri; g Missionary and Explorer,
has been writing home some very interest
ing letters to his friends. He gives many
facts in relati ON to the country, its products
and naiura. advant ages, that are indt ed
very interesting. His course is up the Fam
beshi river. He entered BY one Of its many
mouths, and with considerable difficulty
gained the main stream, some fifty miles
from its mouth. The main body of the
river he described as being from three to
FIVE fathoms in depth. and from one 70 Two
thousand yards in width, with the excep-
tion of where numerous somll islands spread
it out two to three miles in width. He
thinks the river can be ndvigated by thirty
inch steamers for ten months in the year.
Co ton grows in abundance as native
plant. Coal of good quality is found ali
over the country. Iron ore is plenty.
Reasoning from this, DIR. LIyINGsTosE con-
cludes: "With coal, and the best iron ore
in abundance, surely Africa will not always
be the trodden down nation it has been. y
He writes his last letter from Tete. His
company have good health, all having
escaped the coast fever which he attributes
to the fact, that they hastened to the inter-
ior, where the climate is salubrous and
healthy. The natives and Portuguese are
at war, which has very much retarded the
progress of the explorers, but thus far the
English Eume has been a good passport.
DR.. LIVINGSTONE holds the key that will
open the door FOR the civilization of this ex.
tensive country. The people in Central
Africa are praying for light, their ignorance
is burden to them, and when the Bible is
circulated among them, and its principles
inculcated into their practice, and this fol-
lowed up by the arts and sciences OF the
civilized world, then will this people throw
off the shackels of superstition and ignor.
aace, and fast take place among the hon.
ored nations of the earth.

A Slave Hero.

BOB Butt, the hero slave of Portsmouth,
Virginia, who was 4 nurse in Norfolk DUR
ing the yellow fever scourge of 1855, and
who is reported to have nursed and buried
l,I5s victims of that fearful malady, visited
Philadelphia recently on the occasin Of the
funeral exerc ises over the remains of the
Philadelphiuns who fell there in nursing
al d ca o g for the sick Thu Philadelphians
in the magnitude of their hearts, undertook
TO procure the release Of BoR and family
from servitute. The poor fellow appealed
TO his Philadelphia friends through The
Press for aid. We are sorry to see his case
meets with such Indifference. Says The
Tribune.
Poor Bob But, has renewed in the Philu-
delpha papers the advertisement of his ap-
peal tor assistance to enable him to redeem
himself and family from servi,ude. The
Pennsyloannian says, that the contributions
by the charitable, to Bob's freedom fund.
are not SO large as his peculiar case merits.
Only about fifth of the required sum has
been contributed, and nearly halt Of that
by the members Of the Corn Exchange As
sociaiion.
Bob viii! return to Por smou:h on Wednes-
day next. 1t is said that the people of
Portsmouth will apply TO the Legislature OF
Virginia for special act allowing Bob to
continue to reside with them hen he shall
becume free.

remarking that if he could travel as geogra-

have been at his place OF destination long

sumes an enormous quantity of fuel, and
when they have no Goals half their time Is
spent in wood-cuiting. This. however, led
to their discovering lignumviis, with ebony,
teak, and African oak. The river is deeper
than anticipated, and with vessels of light
draught might be navigsted for the greater
portion of the year. With a plentiful USE
OF quinine the expedition has been kept free
from sickness, and with care in going uI

The Washington corresponds mt OF Th,
American says, the only possible hope for
modification of the tariff at this season i.
through conference committee in its clos.

much reason 20 fear tho Senate will moi
yield It's repugnance 10 a change. So OBJ.
stlna'e ure the purposes of the Democratic
majority to refuse any concession on this
SUBJECT that they are more inclined to regard
an extra Session than to concede their pre-.
JUDGES. The House is likely to stand firm
and to Insist on provision being made to
cStinguish any debt that may be created.
The Republicans have held a caucus, and
unanimously agreed 10 vote for modifica.
Ton OF the tariff; their stand is a clear posi-
lion, and unqualified, as will be seen when
test is made in the House. On the other
