\ CHANGE IN THE CLIMATE OF THE
WEsT.-A singular change seems TO
be creeping over all our Western re-
gions. Summer rains are rapidly on
the increase, and the necessity of irr-
CATION is lessening. especially for the
grains and slow growing vegetables.
When the Mormons first went 10 Utah.
there was no rain from April TO Nov
ember; but now summer showers are
Il frequent occurrence. 1t is so in
Colorado aud California-there is a
growth in the mi ,ture OF the summer
and a lessening need of artificial wa
tering Tor tie main crops. Salt Lake
Is growing IN size and freshness, and
the Jordan inc easing in width and
siugglshness of movement The whole
basin. once evidently filled with water.
is slow y returning to its old condition.
Tie lake is rising at the rate Of a foot
year. General COnnor's little steam
boat. that has been carrying ties for
the railroad across the lake during the
last year, certainly rode a mile over
what was good grazing ground five
years before. Does Providence pro-
pose to drown the Mormons out, and
with water solve the problem that is
puzzling our moral philosophers and
statesman!

IMPERIALISM IN TEXAS

The Constitution of the United States
provides that ''the United States
shall guarantee 10 every State in the Union
a republican form of government. We
have before US "petition of the people
of Texas to Congress, to guarantee to the
people of that State republican form of
government, in which it is stated that
the signers, 'without regard to party or
race, being thoroughly convinced that
their civil liberties are in great danger, if
they have not been actually overthrOwn,
by certain laws recently enacted by the
Legislature of that State, do humbly pc
tition the Congress of the United. States
to take such action a3 will save the good
people of that State from the grievous
expressions of said laws" They repre-
sent that in a series of enactments known
as administration measures" because
prepared by the Governor of State for
the servilc Legislature which at once
passed them, their civil liberties are in
great danger, if not now actually over
thrown, and in verification of such state
ment refer to the tenor of the acts named.
These are five in number, and we briefly
synopsize from the full exhibit made in
the petition before us. FIRST comes an
act ostensibIy to organize the State militia,
but really to create a standing army of
many thousand men. In the active corps
of this army, or the State Guard, are
to be enlisted picked men of the Cover

the whole arms-bearing population is to
be enrolled, under penalty of fifteen dol
lars for every man who refuses to place
his name upon the lists. All officers in
both bodies are to be appointed and dis
missed by the Governor at pleasure, at
pleasure the Governor is to disburse the
fund arising from the fifteen dollar ex-
emption, and, whenever he may see fit,
the same functionary is empowered to

TIE Radical Congressional Committee
published an address few weeks ago, in
which they stated, in comparative re-
view of the expenditures of the Govern
ment under Democratic and Radical rule,
that the expenses for the year ending
June 80, 1860, were Sos, ops, 769, when
our population was 81, 400, 900 and there
fore the cost per capita was fraction
over two dollars. In the year ending
June 30, 1870, being the first year of the
Grand administration, the people paid in
10 the Treasury, according to the Radical
Congressional Committee, the sum OF
SCI, 255, All. 63!! Divide this enormous
SUN by our present population of forty
millions, and the drain upon the resources

az increase of five fold. Be it remem-
bcrod these are the figures of the Repub-
lican congressional Committee. They
publish them to the world themselves,
and hence they can not escape the con-
demnation of their own admission of ex
travsgance, of extorting from the people

COST OF THE ARMY IN TIME OF
PEACE,

The war in the field has been ended for
more than five years. In all that time
not ''Rebel" soldier has anywhere ap-
peared to resist the authority of the
United States. There has not been day
in all that time that the United States
Marshal could not serve any process that
he might be required to execute. Not
withstanding this, a comparatively large
army has been kept up at an annual ex-
pense more than double that of the army
during the Mexican war. The expendi-
lures on account of the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1870, were $57, 655, 675. 40.
England, with standing army of one
hundred thousand, expends only $75, 000,-
900 per annum, while the United States,
under Republican government, with her
t,Oerty four regiments, under Radical
administration spends near ffty-ei ght
millions per snnum. Contrast the army
expenses under Radical and Democratic
administrations, and the extravaganza of
Radical rule becomes apparent. The ex-
pensesof the army for the year ending
June 30, 1860, was only $l4, 472, 02.72!
less than one quarter the cost of the last
year! During the war with Mexico the
expenditures for 1916, under Demo
cratic rule, was between ten and eleven
millions; in 1847, between thirty-five and
| thirty-six millions; and in 1S4S, between
| twenty-seven and twenty-eight millions
an average of $24, OOO,O per year
and less than one-half required by Gen.
Grant for one year in time of profound
peace. 10 the fifth year after the MeXi-
can war the war expenses were reduced
from $50, 900, 900 10 1S47, to less than
| 50, 900, 900 in 1851 and 1852, under the
| administration of Mr.. Fillmore Mark
the difference. NOW, after five years of
peace, we are paying more than six times
nine millions for army expenses under
Radical administration, and party that
| claims to be economical. In the better
days of the Republic the army was not
Used 10 carry elections and deprive citi-
zens of their civil rights to perpetuate
party rule When the army is thus sub
verted from its legitimate field of duty, it
is no wonder that the cost Of maintaining
it has 50 largely increased under Radical

LAW DEPARTMENT.

Il is gratifying to learn that the Law
Department of the University of Nash
vile has the most encouraging prospects
of success. The Undergraduate and
Medical Departments have become estab-
lishCd educational institutions of the
South. Their pupils are numbered by
tie hundred. The Law Department bids
fair 10 rival any of the older institutions
devoted to legal instruction. Judge West
Ii. Humphreys, one of the most distin-
rushed lawyers of Tennessee, or of the
South, viii devote himself exclusively to
the interests of his pupils. Judge Hum
phrevs is well known as Attorney General
and Renorter for this State. Subsequently
and for a number of years previous to
the war he was Judge of the Federal
Court for the district of Tennessee.
Having cast his lot with the South du
rior the late war, he was impeached by
the Senate of the United States. A gen.
renau Of strong native intellect, ardent
~ devoted to his profession, he justly
ranks vita our first jurists. Judge BAx-
fer aud Chancellor East who with Judge
Humphreys compose the Law Faculty,
aIc beth held in the highest estimation
br tbe bar and bench Of Tennessee.
The University of Nashville, with her
law, medical aud under graduate depart
ments, offer inducements to Southern
patronage never before presented or
possessed by any institution in the South.
If the youth of the South are now sent
North 20 he educated, it cannot be said
mat il IS done because the South does
Lot affori the amplest facilities for a
complete education.
