appeal. under date of August 1st, spoke of Oro-
vile in the following disparaging terms: "If the
Orthodox HI is much hotter than this place. woe,
woe, woe, to the miserable wretches who are walk
ing the broad way thither.'i We have known men
to observe the same phenomena in the weather iu
Ststes where the thermometer ranged twenty de-
greees below zero: 1t is occasioned by consttu-
tional indole shiftlesness of purpose, and
worthessness of character, that creates innumera-
bic small amounts of Indebtedness, causing its VIC
tins to perspire freely, when they meet prudent
business men with whom they have credit. If the
victim of t his phenomena of the weather happens
to be professor of religion, such meeting of his

until the funds provided for the expenses of his
journey are spent, and then sends pteous appeal
for privilege to use the company funds to make his
way home. This correspondent has promised to
compare Orovle with Marysvilie. and we have
filed away his first production until shall see his
second when we will endeavor to make it still hot
ter for him in Orosle. This is intended merely
as reminder that he was to write again, a circum-
stance which his long delay impels US to believe he
has nearly forgotten. We desire to truthful and
scientific comparison of the difference in the temp
erature of the weather between different localities
in the upper Sacramento Valley and we await

dent to carry mind from the teraa del fuega he
has established in Oroville to rest in the shadow of
the huge icebergs with which he will environ Ma
rysville We pray him him to proceed. The good
book commands US to preach the gospel truth to
every living creature. 1t also promises US, thanks
to just and living God, that the liar and the hyp-
ocrite shal! be burned in a lake of hell fire. Let
this correspondent give us his promised comparison,
and let him be careful, while revelling in the cool
ing and grateful shades of Marysville that he is not
twenty.eight miles higher the "orthodox h-r' he
seems familiar with, than he was when in Oro-
vile. We shall review both communications after
the appearance of the second.
CoNGREssMEN DIsGRACISG GTHEMsELyEs.-There
were two members of the present Congress who it
appears to US disgraced themselves and the body in
which they had been admitted to seats; we refer to
Gen. RossEAu, of Kentucky, and Mr.. GRINNELL. Of
Iowa. During the debate upon the Freedman's g
Bureau BILL some harsh words were nterchanged
between them and although alteration imme
diately followed, feud was inaugarated which af-
towards eliminated in an acrimonious debate.
filled with bitter personalities, disgraceful to its
Oh,
House. In his remarks, Mr.. GRINNELL, who is q
Congregational clergyman, proved himself to be
more strongly possessed by the spirit of black
guardsm than of Christianity, and attacked Gen.
RossEAus military record in the most inexcusable
manner. The only point of difference between
them. was upon the measure then before the House.
RossEAus military record during the rebellion, is
above assault. for he has given abundant proof Of
courage, ability and devotion to the indivsiblity
of his country. His reply was moderate consider
ing the provoking nature of Mr.. GRINNELLs on
slaught, but still much of his language unpar-
liamentary and disgraceful to himself and to the
House. He afterwards allowed his passion to mas
ter him. and transform the soldier into tn rufian.
He made personal assault upon Mr.. GRINFELL,
which, on account of the circumstances of the case
and his vastly superior physical strength, must be
pronounced outrageous and cowardly. He could
well afford to leave his military reputation with his
country. The occurrence was disgraceful in all its
aspects, and both brawlers merited the severe CEN
sure of Congress and of public opinion. Congress
did censure RossEAU and he resigned. Let US
hope that Iowa will have the good sense to dismiss
Mr. GRINNELL frcm her service, and supply his
place with one who will not disgrace his State in
representing the views of his constituents.
