Hon Wm d Kelly

Hon. VIM. d. Kelly, member Of
Congress from PENNSYLVANIA, after
making speech Of thirty pages to
prove that it is just to protect the
Eastern manufacturer and to impose
an export duty on cotton, says of the
South:
''The poor whites must be wcmed
from the rifle. net and line, by the
inducements of well-rewarded labor.
Their idle wives and children may
then be brought to habits of order,
method and industry; and in q few
years we shall cease to rcmcmberthat

onr republican Government, there
We're, for several decades, millions of
people tending rapidly to barbarism. "
Whether Mr.. Kelly believes what
he stated, matters but little. In any
event, he knows his own people, and if
he had not thought that they would
believe it, he would not have made
the statement 1t is not strangeth hat
the masses North should totally mis-
understand the Southern people.
That they do misconceive South IN
character is unquestionably true and
therein lies tt, hopelessness of our
situation. There is IL studied effort
to misrepresent us, and we cannot
counteract it. That our civilization
differs from theirs we grant; but we

TrE WEATHEE.-The mercury Tuesday ne. =
ing stood at G. belw sero-whIch alter the
cruel ten pcIature Of the last three days
seemed ve:y moderate. We haye no recollec-
ton OF a spell Of such continuously and
severely cold weather, as this, in many years.
The lack of any covering o. snow upon
the ground has made its effects severer.
Pu1nrs which never froze before have
frozen this time. The oqueduct pipes have
frozen in many dwellings and the condensa-
ton OF frost in the gas-Pipes YVES a
source Of serious annoyance in number
of stores ami dwellings. We hear Of sheep
freezing to death IN sheltered place, and
the cattle must have suffered much.
Sunday BY all accounts was ofthe coolest
days on record IN this country. At Boston
the mercury fell to 10 below zero, and ice
made four inches thick in Boston harbor.
1t Philadelphia Sunday night was the cold
cst ever known, the thermometer marking
II : and II : below zero. The Delaware
river closed and al the ferry boats but one
were frozen in at their docks. They have
had it as cold a. 10 below there 5utfye times
IN ten years.
At various places in Vermont, the mercu
~ ranged as follows At Montpelier % 4.
NJ 20= below at St. Adams - below
at Rutland 10 : below at Huntington, 80
below and at Wllliamstown 81 below.
These 6gaTes show cold weather for Yer
mont. What We are likely to hear from St,
Paul, ST. Louis and other places in the
Wet where the thermometer Of late years
ranges about twenty degrees lower than
here, VIC shuddcr to think Of
The GREAT COLD SNAP or 1866. Prof Petty
confirms or impres ION that the recent cold
spell was entirely without precedent. We
have had colder days, but never four such
together. The mean temperature Of last
Friday was, describing fracuons-ll 7of sat

The Cost of our CITY Government.

the comparative cost Of our new organiza-
ton. Our Mayor is, it appears, to receive
tor his services $500 year. This is GER
tainly a moderate allowance, Considering the
amount and character Of the responsibility
placed upon him. The sums paid the select.
men, under the old organization. for several
years i'eiOre the adoption Of the city charter
varied from 500 to Sl25 apiece. In 1863
