REMOVAL OF THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

The Washingtonians are exercised over
the President failure to nlention the Dis
trict interests in his message. They regard
his silence as evidence that he favors the
removal of the Capital. st Louis has
sent on lobby members and Congress is
already flooded with pamphlets and doc
uments favoring the removal Of the
Capital, butt no bill has yet been intro
lduced.

CHARACTER OF THIS CONGRESS.

The alacrity with which Congress has
taken up work from the jump, and carried
it forward, shows thatwe are educating
large class Of public stewards, some of
whom come nearly TO the realization of
craftsmanship and this is due to the
better fashion amongst the people of
many districts retaining IN Office good
man when we have him. The Republic
can party. besides, have now been in pow
or IN the Lower House for about twelve
years, and 1t contains exponents of very
dutiful and experienced legislators.
Three fourths Of these men have travelled
from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean,
and their minds are widened by the
views Of nature and the glimpses of des-
tiny they have seen, The Congressman
of twenty years ago had been nowhere,
had formed his notions at secondhand
or under village tutelage, and he was a
proper subject of caricature by foreign
writer's. ! do not believe that in this
| JongI eSs thc:e are more than TWO or
| three eccentric cr provincial figures at
most, capable of being satirized By any
Mrs. Trollope or Captain Hall Speech
| making has been practicaizcd; the
great orator and the character actor, both
| 0oIes of the first magnitude, have settled
down to be practica' legislators, and al
most every bill that reaches the ear has
the ring OF sterling in It. IF a bin be not
approved 1t shows some good impulse or
growing heed to be encouraged or con.
-idered in the committee of the private
| mind. Unless [ am mistaken, this Con
eress has infinitely better spirit than
the last, an1 is bent upon more manly
| and dignified ends

How THE Yo semitic VALLEY WAS
FoRMED.-How was this curious freak
of nature formed? is a question that
every visitor at least will ask. 1t is a
puzzle for the imagination, and battles
even the scientific student. Professor
Whitney, of the State Survey, discussed
the question deliberately in his admirable
volume on the Yo Semitic, the big trees,
and the high Sierras, which, with its
maps, should be the companion of every
one who visits those regions. He rejects
the idea of water having worn it out !;
or that it was the work of a glacier
but concludes, as the only practicable
supposition, that the bottom dropped
out! There is no other way of account
ing for what is gone, but that it sunk
below. 1t is not carried down stream :
it does not remain in the valley-there
could be no valley if it did there are
but comparatively small deposits of rock
in the valley under the walls-no more
than the waste, by frost and ice and wa
ter, of few generations at the most /:
and indeed there seems no other suppo-
sition that meets the mystery than that
the missing rocks are swallowed up be-
low. 1t would appear, too, as if the
chasm had not been long filed up to its
present point, and that originally, and
until within comparatively recent pc
Rod, the whole valley was a great deep
lake. This is a peculiar theory! 1t ap-
plies but rarely to the strange forms of
nature scattered over the earth's sur
face; but the Yo Semitic is a peculiar
phenomenon-it justifies it, indeed, de-
mands peculiar explanation, and no
other fits it so reasonably as this.

and grandly testified to the good work
which Mr.. Peabody had wrought in the
hearts of those around him, and to the
sentiment which he had created In be-
half of his eountrymen across the wa
ter. Not only has London dedicated
him statue, but Rome, by order of its
admiring Pope, whose charities he has
aided, proposes also to erect one in his
honor. Mr.. Peabody's face and bearing
constituted gracious index OF the char
acter, worth, and work of the man. 1t
had the intelligence of charity as well
as of thrift, and his face was in strict
truth an open countenance. The good
lac did lives after him, and nothing of
the benevolent spirit which has lett its

THE COMING WINTER.-There is a
great variety of opinion in regard TO the
coming winter, whether il will be mod
crate or severe. Some of our exchanges
that pretend to weather wisdom. on the
strength ofinfallibIe signs which they
have discovered, predict an early, cold
and long winter; others, protesting to
be endowed with equal prescience
prophecy that we shall have a winter
very similar to the last; that is, mod
crate winter; and one exchange, COM
menting on the late rather premature
cold snap, tells us that lit is so to be sue
ceeded by Indian summer, and early set
tiers predict mild, open winter" We
shall not undertake to enter the field of
prophecy in competition with these
soothsaycrs, as we make no pretense TO
special gifts in the line of weather di-
vination, but we advise all who can do
so to prepare in the way of winter gar
ments, fuel, eft ceteTG, for the worst may
befall.-4tchiSo5s Champion.
