Historical.

From weather records kept in Anna:
polls and the vicinity, beginning as far
back as 1851, some interesting particu.
lars may be cleaned The winter Of
1880 is well known to have been a most
extraordinary one. American troops
crossed the Chesapeake ON the ice,
which was seven inches thick at the
mouth of. the Severn, the whole Chesa.
peake bay being frozen from the Sus.
quehanna down to Point Look out. Ex-
tensive travel with vehicles to Baltimore
and Eastern Shore places was INDUCED
in. The Delaware river and bay were
frozen, the ice being nineteen inches
thick, remaining solid nearly three
months. II is believed that the Chesa.
pcake bay was never closed again by
ice till 1886, when, for several days,
parties crossed on skates.* In 1850,
winter fingered so long in the lap Of
spring that the whole month of May
had passed in this region before any
blossoms or buds-June was April.
On the other hand, in TIA, springs
blossoms and all were smiling through.

and the National Republic put on the
track. *rhis is mistake; the bay
was several times closed by ice before

fow are taxed five cents per acre, whether
worth two, five or a hundred dollars. Cot
ton sugar and molasses, without regard to
quality. are all taxed in the same unequal
and unjust manner. The Supreme Court.
in session at Monroe, during the last sum
mer. decided that a tax of one dollar per
bale on every bale of cotton was unequal
and not uniform, and therefore uncOnstitu-
tional. The offensive manner in which this
bill proposes to collect the revenues de-
mands your most careful reconsideration.
The exemption from the operation Of the
Law of any of the principal parishes and
corporations within the alluvial districts is
certainly unconstitutional and unjust.
In consequence of the multiplicity Of
matters claiming my immediate attention at
the present time, am unable to state more
fully my views Of this measure.

An Important Decision,

Hon. W. Bushnell, Attorney General, has
delivered to E. N. Batter, State Treasurer,
mis- opinion on q question of much import
auoe to the Life Insurance companies char
tered By this State. The Great Western In
surance company having deposited with the
State Treasurer, under the law of 1869, one
hundred thousand dollars as security for its
policy holders, has lately become DESTROYS
of retiring from business, and having taken
steps to that end, wished TO withdraw the
securities deposited. The company there
fore applied to State Treasurer Bates, re-
questiug him to deliver up the securities,
and offering him bond in ample amount
with sufficient security to hold him harmless
If he did so. Treasurer Bates having
doubts rs to his right and duty in the mat.
ter, referred the application, bond and all
other papers in the case, to the Attorney
General for his opinion. which is briefly that
the bond would be null and void, being
given to indemnify public officer for doing
an unlawful act. The law Of 1860 does not
provide when securities shall be surrender
ed until the Law is amended
