We congratulate our readers on the change
of weather, and the striking variation to the
monotony of pleasant weather which we have
experienced for month past. The drizgle
and sleet and rain-unpleasant as it might
seem to some-was very generally welcomed
BY the majority of people, because the els
terms OF said majority, though not ''broken,'
were empty.
The wood-haulers were also gratifed, be-
cause it gave them rest and interrup led the
supply of wood, which was bringing down
the price rapidly. So, Notwithstanding the
many Inconvenience attending the change of
weather, it could not be said that it was gen
orally disagreeable; and the limited number
who ventured on the streets on skates and
'creepers, seemed to enjoy it hugely.
The sanctum of the GATE CITY, however,
under the protection of fat roof, which re-
solved itself into sieve for the occasion, en-
Joyed abundant water privileges, and sug-
gested TO the editor several articles to be
written hereafter on water power and home
manufactures.

CITY office yesterday. Their cat disappeared

tirely removed from the hands of profess
sional politicians. There are men in this
city who, if they had the police system in
their hands. would WELD il far more our
ruptly, and with far greater evil effects,
than is possible at present. Did we be-
heve such men would become the direct
ing powers under the proposed arrange
ment we should oppose it with all Our in
huence. But We have the personal assur-
anee of the author of the bill that
nothing of the sort Is contem-
plated or will be effected. If the
bill becomes a law, the Governor,
in exercising the appointing power, Will
tender the CommIssionership to our lead
ing citizens, men of business reputation
and character, whose own interests as pro
nertv-boIders and business men Will in
s,,ra their attention to the work of making
opr notice effective. Indeed the bill it.
self provides, as far US it can, against pro-
fessional politicians getting control, in the
clauses f~orb1dding tie Commissioners to
receive pay for their services, and pro-
viding that whenever any Commissioner
shall accept a nomination for any other
Office his position as Commissioner will
become vacant.
We shall discuss the minor details
of the bill, and its financial aspects,
in another article.

The bill authorizing the completing Of
the iron bridge, over the MahouiUg river
at this place, has passed the Legislature,
and Is now Il law.
Abou; forty persons have been convert
ed during the late meetings at the Pres
byterian Church, in this place.
Seventy-four persons have united, as

this place since the commencement of the
]protracted meeting.
The "Nusbyitcs,' the emaciated rem
naut of the "unterritied Democracy, to
the number Of fifteen or twenty, gathered
together at McConneIs eating saloon, on
the eve of the 2lst of February for the
purpose OF rejoicing over the veto message
OF the President. The ancient and ven
cradle "Tyc00us' Of the party, who have
weathered many political storms, and be-
come secdy by rough usage and exposure,
thinking that in the late action Of the
President they saw the anninilation Of
the Union party, and "a chance for a post
orGs' for themselves at no distant day, be-
came frantic with delight, and recklessly
invested their stamps in oysters, pork,
beans and beer.
A riot occurred at Powers Corners,
Mecca, on the night of the 2oyh inst.
There was q dance that evening nj kutzs
Hotel. and ten or fifteen young bio0ds met
there for the purpose Of creating a dis
turbance. Refusing TO purchase tickets
they forced their way into the ball room,
taking complete possession, whooping,
yelling, breaking furniture, insulting the
girls, and putting an end to the party.

FnIsifrIng Ihe Record.

The New York Times, soon after the Is
surance of the veto message, published
what purported to be the vetoed bill, and
this publication has been widely copied In
the West. 1t is not the bill passed By Con-
gress, and has evidently been fabricated
for the purpose of making the veto mes
sage less odious. 1t is considerably short
er that the actual bill, and differs there
from in almost every section. It omits in
the second section that important clause
that the divisions Of districts and sub-dis-
tricts shall only be made when necessary
for the operations of the Bureau, and also
the number of clerks and the salary they
shall receive. 1t omits in the third sec
ton the vital proviso, defining who shall
be deemed destitute and dependent on the
Government for support. 1t omits IN the
fifth section the proviso that the occupants
of the Sea Islands may give up their
claims and receive lands elsewhere by ar
rangement with the former owners, which
prONlsO was auueu NJ the lneIaACe VI me
South Carolina delegation, and was agreed
to by the Committee as a satisfactory
solution of the problem involved with
Sherman's field orders. 1t entirely omits
the essential feature of the sixth section,
viz: thst nothing shall be done in the
matter of buying or building schools and
asylums till Congress has made the neees-
sary appropriations. - These citations
mark the principal points Of difference
between the true and false bills, though
there are numerous others of minor i'm
portance. The New York Times has de-
clined to publish the bill as actually
passed, though its attention was called
some davs AGO to the matter.
Cleveland daily leader. [volume] ([Cleveland, Ohio]) 1865-1873, 1866-03-03

We find the following lame attempt at
wit in Wednesdays issue of the New
York Times:
"On Thursday last, President Andrew
Johnson, of the Union College, Washington
City, conferred the honorary title Of ID. D."
upon John W. Forney, Esq. This exalta
ton creates some surprise, since it is not
known that the recipient was ever in holy
orders, and some go so far as TO say that the
President is making game of him; while
still others. Of rough speech, think the let
ters a misprint for I'D. B." a title well
known to be very expressive among the
ha5itIutS Of the lower wards of New York.
But they are mistaken the "dead beat "
has really become the dead duck" the
title is within constitutional law, since it is
not conferred by a foreign power and in
Difference to high authority, to ordinary
courtesy and innate propriety, we must
hereafter write John W. Forney, D. D."
Inasmueh as it is universally acknowl-
edged that Colonel John W. Forney is q
journalist Of unsurpassed ability, COM
pared with whom Thurlow Weed and
Henry J. Raymond are insignificant,
We submit that such attempts to bring
him into disrepute are childish
and puerile. Thurlow Weed will never
succeed in his attacks on Colonel Forney.
4 greater than he has attempted TO de-
molish Forney by epithet and has failed.
Mr.. Weed, by his cringing adulation for
whoever holds the reins of power, has
however, established for himself such a
reputation as a toadying ~demagogue that
he has fairly earned, and henceforth ought
always to wear, the title Of 7. D.
