SENATOR "JEFF" DAVIS is a nervously- built
man, of middle hight, thin, quivering, full
of excitable emotions, with a forehead of
immense capacity and breadth; sparkling
and very deeply-set gray eyes, one of which

of tic doloreux; hooked nose, slender, and
with nostrils almost transparent mouth
vigorously sinewed, and channeled at its
sides delicate, thin lower face, betraying
the pangs of physical ailment in every ira

dyspepsia, and no resources visible to sus-
tain the man at his present hight Of labor
and power except the unconquerable spirit

prematurely wrinkled mana chivalrous,

ABOLITION OF GRAND JuRIEs-A bill has
been introduced into the Legislature of the
State of Vermont to do away with the
grand jury system, a movement which has
already proved successful in the State of
Michigan. Steps have also been taken tow
ards the abolition of grand juries in New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New
York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Louisia-
na. There are few subjects'of more import
ance to our own state than the grand jury
system now in vogue and none which the
doing away with would result more benefi-
cially. The grand jury is a humhug, its
action productive of little good, and gener-
ally the most expensive of any system OF
county government. Proceedings by infor-
nation, instead of the old grand jury sys-
TEN, have been introduced with success in
other States.-S. f. Herald.

THE QUESTION OF SAvoY.-The London
Morning. Post contains the following import
ant paragraph: '"This question no longer
adds to the complications of Europe. 1t
arose out of circumstances not within the
control of France. The Emperor Napoleon
had forseen and urged confederation in
Italy. The course of events pointed in the
direction of an Italian kingdom. In such
an event it was obvious that great inconve-
nience would arise from the French slopes
of the Alps being portion of that king
dom, hence the suggestion for the cession
of Savoy. The French Government has
now, however, expressed its willingness to
defer to the'decision that may be arrived at
by the Great Powers of Europe on the ques-
tien, and all fear of collision may therefore
be-considered as definitely obviated.s

THE New ARCTIC ExPEDITIoy.-Dr. l. I.
Hayes, Surgeon of the Kane Arctic Expedi-
ton, hopes to be ready for start in the
month of May next for another voyage to
the North Pole. Dr. HAYES has already
raised the $4,000, one-half of the neces-
sary sum, from the generous contributions
of his personal friends, and hopes to secure
the rest from the liberal public at large.
To assist him in this endeavor, the Geo
graphical and Statistical Society have ap-
pointed a Committee of leading merchants
and other well-known citizens (among them
Henry Gr;nnell) and there is reason to hope
that the appeal will not be made in vain.
The special object of DR.. Hayes's proposed
expedition is to determine at once and for
ever the question of an open Polar sea-
which Lieut.. Morton saw, and the existence
of which would seem to be establis he'd by
a variety of circumstantial evidence This
sea DR.. Hayes hopes to reach by making the
principal portion of the trip on dog-sledges
vehicles by which he and his associates
rode over q thousand miles on the previous
expedition.

How THEY DANCE AT WAsHNGToy.-An
Ohio editor gives his views of several dan
ces which he lately witnessed at a ball in
Washington. He says: "The want of vari-
ETY. in this metropolitan dancing was, how
ever, fully made up by the fancy things such
as the waltz and polka. These were abso-
lutely barbarous. The old fashioned waltz,
the morality of which even Byron called in
question, is here ignored as altogether too
far and distant The lady lays her head on
the gentlemans bosom, puts one hand on
his, and the other in his coat-tail pocket
and resigns herself to his embraces, and
goes to sleep, all but her feet, which, when
not carried by him clear off the floor, &c
patting around on the toes. The gentleman
thus entwined throws his head back and his
eyes up, like dying calf; his body bent in
the shape of a figure 4, he whirls, backs up
swings around, swoons, to all appearances
dashes forward, and leaves the ring, to the
delight of all decent people.

ASTOUNDING GDIsCovERIEs-About3 80 miles
northeast of Virginia City, some very rich
discoveries were made some weeks since,
and a new district called the Nevada District
formed Since that time company OF
prospeetors found a Valley, about FIVE miles
long and three wide, which is interspersed
with number of well defined quartz lodges,
which show large amount of silver in the
outcroppings. This Valley appears to- be a
kind of basin, the rock showing very recent
volcanic action. The new district is termed
the Volcanic District. The Recorder there
recorded three hundred claims in a short
time after opening his books. There is no
doubt but that range will be found rich as
far north as Black Rock.-Ter Enterprise,
