AFlorida paper reports that asteam-

cended the ST. Johns river one nun
dred and fifty miles further than ever

be indescribably beautiful and the
country more diversified than lower
down the river.

Both houses of the Minnesota Leg

ify the amendment during the pres
ent winter, and that viii complete the
work.
President Grants first veto was of
the bill TO extend the patent of Whites
improvement in Repeating pistols,
among other things extending the
chambers Of the rotating cylinder
through to the rear, so as to enable the
chambers to be charged at the rear by
hand or by a self-acting charger. the
patent expired last April. Gen. Dyer
of the Ordance Bureau, opposes the
renewal, on the ground that Smith &
WessOn, the manufacturers, have re-
turned an income of about 81 5000
while White has received a royalty
of 81 600.
Mr.. Judd's bill for a new apportion-
ment of Congressional representation
in 1871 will probably be pressed to a
vote in the House at an early day,
though its passage is doubtful. Under
its provisions, it is estimated that the
New England States would lose six
representatives, New York four, Penn
sylania three, and Ohio one; while
Illinois, Michigan; Wisconsin, Iowa,
Missouri, Kansas and California would
each gain two, and Minnesota, Ten
nessee, Georgia, Alabama, South Car
olina and Texas each one. This would
give the Western States 81 members
in place of 50 as now and the South
eTn States so instead of 10.
The excitement in Paris over the
shooting of Victor Noir seems to be
most intense. Rochefort has seized
the opportunity to make the most Bit
ter and infiammatory appeals to the
passions of the mob. NJ. De Fouville,
who accompanied Noir on his visit to
Prince Pierre, has published his state
ment of the occurrence. The Prince
has already published his. The truth
will be hard to find. Noir was bur-
led, Wednesday. More than 100000
persons attended the funeral. Roche
fort, accompanied by a crowd, went
down street singing the Marseillaise.
The police appearing to stop it, Roche
fort claimed freedom from arrest as a
member of the Chamber of Deputies.
1t would seem as if this shooting by
the Emperor's cousin was going to
give the Government the most trouble
it has had for many day to avoid
revolution.
