a hEMARKABLE WINTER.-It is great
mistake to suppose it is out of place to
speak OF the weather at any time or any
where, says the Richmond Enquirer and
Examiner, because, like motion to adj
Journ, or an invitation to take drink, it
Is always in order. While we are not
able nov 20 recall a season that was not
remarkable, or month in the year when
somebody didn't say the times were hard
and money scarce, nevertheless, we main
tain, without fear of contradiction, that
the present is really remarkable winter.
So far, in this section, and even very far
North of US, along the coast, there has
been no real cold spell. We have had
thunder, but no snow; wind and rain,
but nothing worthy the name of freeze.
In fact, much of the winter has been, in
mlldness OF temperature, more like April
and May than December and January.
On the other hand, West OF the Allie
ghanies, they have had snow and ice,
and terrible storms. At Chicago, last
week. the thermometer fell from forty
two degrees to zero, in few hours. At
louisville. only few days ago, torna-
do killed eight persons and deluged q
portion of the city, and on the same day.
terrific storm of thunder and lightning.
accompanied by hail, did much damage
IN and near st. Louis. At Cincinnati, q
similar storm occurred soon afterwards,
by which considerable property was in
Jured, and Albany, Pittsburgh and Chi
cago felt the same effects at about the
same hour. In other regions, unusual
falls OF rain have taken place. This, ac-
oording to weather-wise persons, indi-
oates q speedy coming of intense cold,
but so far, the indications do not run in
this channel. One thing is certain, the
present winter is an exceptional one in
this respect, and scientific men have
many. facts by which to test their respec-
tive theories.

CHARLOTTE, COLUMBIA AND AUGUSTA
RA11RoAD.-We had the pleasure of meet
ing, yesterday, with the genial and able
President OF the Charlotte, Columbia
and Augusta Railroad, Colonel William
Johnston, in the city on business con-
nected with his road. Colonel Johnston
ranks with the ablest railroad men in the
country, and keeps fully up with the po-
itical, financial and industrial questions
pertaining to the situation. His road is
now enjoying high degree OF prosperity
in the large increase of business over its
entire line; within the past few months,
the receipts from freights and travel hav-
ing augmented fully 100 per cent. The
future prospects of this important link
in the great and popular short passenger
route Northward, are daily Frightening,
as evidenced by the increasing demands
OF travel. It's trains. of three, four and
five passenger cars, arrive and depart
daily, filled with passengers. The bulk
of the travel is now Westward, and is
making heavy demands upon the rolling
stock of the road, which has latterly been
largely increased, and requires still
further additions of engines and cars to
meet the growing demands of business,
alike from travel and freights.

JANUARY AND MAY.-We had them
united yesterday. According to the
almanac it was the 23d of January; but
the warm sun and the soft South winds
were the winds and the sun of pleasant
day in May. A most extraordinary
January this-no snow, no ice, and the
Hudson open nearly to- Albany. Has
some enormous comet dropped into the
sun adding to its heat? Has the Cult
Stream changed its course? or have the
internal fires of the earth been warmi pg
up the ocean? We cannot tell; but we
still expect reaction, though if we have
it not within q week, the chances this
winter on this island for sleighing and
skating will be slim.

EXPOSING EXTRAvAGANCE.- Tues
day, Mr.. Dawes, Republican member Of
Congress from Massachusetts, made the
sensation speech, in the House, of the
session. He accused his own party of
violating the pledges of retrenchment
and economy by which they were ena-
bled to carry the Presidential election,
and of going far beyond the extravaganza
which they charged upon the admins
tration of Andrew Johnson. He saws
that the Republicans nrraigned that ad-
ministration for prodigal and profligate
expenditures, turned it out by means of
these charges, and that now, in the very
first estimates made by the administra-
tion of General Grant, it is proposed to
make the public expenses $2S, 900, 600 n
year greater than they were under Mr..
johnson. General Grants heads of de-
partments are proposing to spend $40
62S, 537 more next year than was appro-
priated for the present year. He SAYS
that every one of the departments asks
tor m increase, with the single cxccp-
tion of ''the poor unpopular Attorney
General, who is likely to be thrust out
and consigned to private life. Mir. Dawes
Justly maintains that this is scandalous
failure to fulfill the pledges made in the
election.
Commenting upon this bold effort al
retrenchnent, the New York Tribune
says:
Mr.. Dawes was on tie right track in
the Honse yesterday. Such men are
needed in Congress, and such speeches.
The honorable gentleman did not quite
comprehend that he is q member of q
body which the people expect to see
vote for the repeal of the odious franking
monopoly, before it goes ont of exist
ence; but, barring this blemish, his re-
marks were timely, bold and most valaa.

letter from Rev. DIR. RyIand.

sHELBYVILLE, hY., April -, 1870.
Messrs. Editors,-I have Just noticed In
the Louisville papers Of this morning a
dispatch from Richmond giving brief ac-
count Of tho tragic event that occurred in
the Capitol yesterday. Many valuable citi-
zens suddenly destroyed, the bodies of
many others fear(uly mangled, the whole
city thrown, in IN instant, into the deepest
mourning. What terrible calamity! I
cannot repress the impulse of my heart to
write this line expressive of my affectionate
remembrance of many of the killed, and
my profound sympathy with the surviving
sufferers. Most sincerely do l pity the nu-
merous families, too, that have been crushed
by this painful visitation. Richmond has
certainly passed through trying scenes du-
ring the last ten years. God grant that the
next decade Of her history may be more
quiet, and that all her citizens may be
brought by these Affections to cherish u
strong religious faith, and to seek habitual
preparedness for better world. Time and
distance have not weakened, nor ever will
weaken, my affection for the place and peo-
pie. In this feeling each member of my
family participates intensely.
TO my personal friends beg leave to add
that we are all in good health and bounti-
fully supplied with-hard work.
Your friend, r. RYLAND.

If the members Of the House of Delegates
expect, in this day OF calamity in Richmond
and poverty in VirSinia-and we do not
mean to say that they do--that they arc to
have q hall fitted up for them with desks and
all the conflutcmcnts of modern legislative
halls, they look for more than their forefa-
theirs had, and they were quite as good as
their descendants! The best age of this
State saw the greatest men Virginia ever
produced sitting in the Capitol upon
benches, earnestly engaged in deliberation;
not writing letters, hauling over accounts,
and giving directions about ploushing and
shearing sheep! Desks are nuisance at
best; but whatever the House thinks of
them, its members might get along few
weeks without them. Business presses
economy is indispensable. Rent Metropoli-
tan Hall. Give it to the uses to which the
City Hall is now devoted. and let the men,
bcrs of the House of Delegates meet at the
City Hall for while, doing the best they
can under the cyigcncy like men and patri-
OTIS. a little enterprise and energy will put
the hall of the House in tenantable condi-
ton in four or six weeks at farthest.
Meantime the two Houses, one in the Capt.
toll and one in the City Hall, would be quite
convenient to each other, and the affairs of
State could progress easily and rapidly.

ANOTHER RADICAL PROP GONE. - The
conservative character of the United States
Supreme Court is sustained by q decision
delivered by Chief Justice Chase on Satur-
day-a decision 50 manifestly just and eQui-
table that the only surprise IS that its prin-
ciple was ever questioned. The court held
that loaning money to the Confederate Gov
eminent, when such loan was extorted by
fear, was not an act giving aid and comfort to
the enemy. This decision relieves many of
the best southern Unionists from the penal
ties which Radical legislation sought to i'm
nose upon them.-Neao York Herald.
