WHEN DOES SPRING BsGIN?-We notice,
says the Pittsburg Chronicle, that all of our
exchanges speak of the first of N arch as the
first day of spring. This is an error, accord
ing to The very best authority. Herschel
says that for the Northern Hemisphere the
astronomical spring begins at the vernal
equinox, or on the 2Ist of March, and ends
at the time of the summer soistice, or on the
2lst of June, when the sun reaches its high
est position in the heavens at midday" Ac-
cording to Herschel. therefore, the spring
season begins March 2lst, and ends June
2lst; the summer season begins June 2lst
and ends September 2lst; the fall season
begins September 2lst and ends December
2ist, and the winter season begins Decem-
Der 2lst and ends March Dist. Worche. ter
defines spring TO be the season in which
general vegetation begins" Webster speaks
of it as the season of the year when plants
begin to vcgetate and rise

WoMEN's VS.. MEMS RIGHTs. TIE New
York Legislature is maturing law to define
thcrights ofmarried men, as sort of counter
check TO the everlasting, never-ending, and
terribly il definite talk about woman rights.
The proposed law gives the husband life
estate in the property OF his wife after her
decease, that the benedict shall
not be liable for debts of his wife contracted
! before msrriage, nor after marriage unless
incurred with his consent. or necessary to the
support of their children; and to crown this
assertion of rights, the new law proposes
that any married man possessed of realestate
may sell such property in all respects as if
he were unmarried. This is to put an end
to the odiou, practice-especially odious to
real estate speculators-of requiring the
wife, on being interrogated apart from the
husband, to give her written assent to the
sale OF real estate property by her husband
before such sale can be valid.

The NATURALIZATION LAWS. We no
tice that some of our Democratic exchanges
are much exercised over the proposed
change in the naturalization laws. They
represent that the law, if passed, will require
a FIVE years residence after naturalization
before such person will be entitled to vote
This is simply false The bill pending in
the House, which will probably pass, only
requires residence of three years instead OF
five, and the notice of intention is to be
given only twenty days instead of two years
before making the application. The power
of making citizens, however, is to be con-
fined with few exceptions, exclusively to
the United States Courts, but the judgment
awarding citizenship to the applicant is not
to take effect until six months after it is rem
dered Should this bill pass, it will no
doubt prevent all illegal voting on fraudu-
lent naturalization papers issued on the eve
Of an election, and hence the opposition Of
the democracy to the proposed change in
the law

THE Winnipeg REBELLIoN.-The conduct
of the SO called General Riel in executing at
least one prisoner, to be followed up, appa-
rently, by the execution of seven or eight
Others, will convert the Winnipeg drama from
farce into a tragedy. By the narrative of
these events, it appears that the prisoners
were captured without fighting, and, appa-
rently, without the manifestation by the
General himself of any marked disposition
to fight, inasmuch as he shared in none of
the danger of the enterprise. For a mere
insurrectionary leader, in a country almost
100 feeble to be capable of an insurrecton,
to tura upon those who oppose his sway and
execute them as rebels, is an evidence of
tyranny and coNardice on the part of Riel
which presages his speedy fall and punish
ment. jeff Davis executed Southern Union
lists as rebels. But the Governlaent of the
United States executed nobody for re eSelion
which cost million of lives. That Rie,
should take the first lives lost in his enneute
by series of bloody executions stamps him
at once as tyrant and coward.

REMARKABLE TESTIMONY. The folio,

REMARKABLE TESTIMONY. The follow
ing notable passage is from lecture, deliv-
cred by w. d. Moore, Esq, on February
4th, 1870, at Washington, Pa, and will bear
careful perusal:
Il am Democrat. and opposed to the
Fifteenth Amendment, but desire to bear
my testimony to the character of the negro
population of the South. After the passage
of the conscript act they outnumbered the
whites five to one. They could have arisen
at any time aud utterly annihilated the white
population, and they were not wanting evil
men to make the suggestion. They remain
ed, however, the same in obedience, docility.
faithfulness and order, as before the war
broke out. There is nothing like it in all
the pages of history, and | never knew or
heard of race who seemed, in my judg
ment, to live so near to the Divine teaching
as the negroes of the South during the re-
bellion. Their conduct was epitomized in
single remark made to me by very aged
one among them: We'se like the children
of Israel at the Red Sea; all we has to do is
to stand still and see the salvation of the
Lord = At all times and under all the cir
cumstanees | will bear testimony to the un-
equalled behavior of the Southern negroes
during the war.
