AN INTERESTING DISCOVERY has been made
in the south OF France. A distinguished gcolo-
glst has found in the PyTenees, only n slirbt
distance below the soil, the remains of prebis-
tore cities. Inc discoveries are very numerous,
and viii help in pushing tire domain of history
still further back into the past than it has ever
gone before. Previous to 1854, we had no idea
of lacustrine habitations, but in that wear the
winter was particularly crisp aud cold in Swit-
zerland, and the level OF the waters was lowered
in all the lakes. The inhabitants of Mellen had
proited by the low water TO raise a LITTLE dixie on
the borders OF Lake Zurich. Driving down
some piles, they encountered obstacles. and
found that piles and enormous thick oak plonifs
had already been driven down. Between the
pieces OF wood they discovered stone and homo
Instruments, clumsy pottery, etc. These uten-
sis bore such resemblance to those i'm use Inv
the primitive people, that it was at once CON
cluded that the Mellen discoveries were of The
greatest antiquity The "frst men" of that
country were supposed to have built their habi-
tations above the water, and if the
hypothesis were Just, the same YES
uges of another age would be found at tbe
bottom OF the principal lakes. These coniect.
ures were soon confirmed. The fishers rcmem.

New York has a "reiorm legislatures" but the
action of this body is troubled by influences
proceeding from the scandalous fight of factions
in the republican party. The other party has
in hand the great fight between Tammany cor
ruptionists and the reformers, but it does not
control either branch Of the legislature. The
republicans will be held responsible, if the leg
islature shall tail to do properly the work of re-
form. Meanwhile, some of the outside repub-
lican agencies deal with every movement and
man connected with it, almost wholly in the in
terest of either fighting "Conklingites" or fight
ing 'Fentontcs." These agencies have already
coutrived to get up in the legislature TWO com
mittees of investigation, the persons to be in-
vestigated being charged with receiving cor
ruptly certain sums of money while at Albany,
last year, one as a member of the assembly and
the other as clerk Of the senate. The charges
against these men may or may not be true; but
the attack and the defense both seem more in
tent on the interests and passions OF faction
than anything else. This quarrel is a nuisance
which ought to be abatcd. The New York
Times, the New York Tribune, and all Others
who have allowed themselves to fight on one
side or the other, should have the grace TO be
heartily ashamed OF it.

Worcester cannot afford TO, and we are sure
does not look with indifference upon any prof
fered railroad connection. Our people are fully
aware of the extent to which they are indebted
for their present prosperity, and the past and
continuous growth ofthc city, to the system of
railroads eentering here, and they know that if
we are to keep the second place among the busy
and progressive communities of the state, we
must, at least welcome and foster every enter
prise Of this kind projected by our neielIpors
with favorable promise of success, if we do rot
ourselves originate them. The two new railroad
projects, now asking our attention, propose to
give us additional communication with Boston
and Providence, but it is not that circumstance
which makes our interest in them, since we have
already good connections with those cities so
much as the local business along the routes,
much of which naturally belongs to u.s.
and comes here now in spite of diff
culhes, but which will be much increased in
amount and in mutual advantage when direct
railroad route is opened for it. One of the pro.
posed lines will bring to us much more directly
and conveniently than at present the business of
Grafton, Upton and Milford, the other that of
9hiONShOlls NOithbOlO anu MdIiDuIO. lUe
connection is important fer all of them; they
realize its value, and are ready to make proper
tomato efforts TO secure it. What they expect
of us is not unreasonable. Worcester could af-
ford to contribute even more in capital and effort
than is asked, and we have no doubt that by
our citizens of means and enterprise sufficient
aid will be given to ensure the construction of
both roads.

the cities and towns S5O4, 32t79, leaving as Il
revenue to the state 1921 529 81, which is an ex-
cess of S139,73l .26 over the tax paid under the
old law taxing nonresident shareholders. 1t is
probable that another year the banks will as
sumo this tax, as was done by few Boston
banks, thus saving the local assessors a vast
amount of work The revenue from bank tax
before the days of national banks nearly met
the ordinary expenses of the government, and
1t is reasonable TO hope that the state will derive
an annual permanent income of three hundred

NATIONAL UNION REPUBLICAN, CoNvEN-
TIoN-The official call for this convention was
issued few days ago. Besides the president
ard secretary, ii is signed by members of the
committee from all the states and territories OK
ccpt New York. Horace Greeley, the reprcsen-
tative from that state prefers to hold himself
aloof for the present. The call reads as fol-
lows:
The undersigned, constituting the national
committee designated by the convention held at
Chicago on the 10Th of May, 1868, hereby call
convention Of the union republican party attbe
cry Of Philadelphia, on Wednesday, the 9TH dav
OF June next, at y O'Clock noon, for the purpose
OF nominating candidates for the offices of pres
ident and vice president of the United States
Each state is authorized TO be represented
IN the convention by delegates equal TO twice
the number of senators and representatives TO
which il is entitled in the next national con-
gress, and each territory is authorized to send
two deegates
In calling this convention, the committee re-
mind the country that the promises of the union
rSpubhcan convention of 1868 have been fulfill
ed. The states lately in rebellion have been re-
stored to their former relations in the govern
ment. The laws of the country have been
faithfully executed the public faith has been
preserved, and the national credit firmly estab-
lished. Governmental economy has been illus
trated by tho reduction, at the same tlme of the
public debt and OF taxation; and the funding
of the national debt at lower rate OF interest
has been successfully inaugurated. The rights
of naturalized citizens have been protected by
treaties, and immigration encouraged by liberal
provisions. The defenders OF the Union have
been gratefully remembered, and the rights and
interests of labor recognized. Laws have been
enacted, and are being enforced, for the protec-
ton OF persons and property in all sections
Equal suffrage has been engralted on the ma
tional constitution; the privileges and immuu-
ties of American citizenship have become part
of the organic law, and liberal policy has been
adopted toward all who engagedin the rebellion.
Complications in foreign relations have been adj
juSted in the interest of peace throughout the
world, while the national honor has been main
tained. Corruption has has been exposed of.
tenders punished, responsibility enforced, sale
guards established, and now, as heretofore, the
republican party stands pledged to correct all
abuses and carry out all reforms necessary TO
maintain the purity and efficiency of the public
service. To continue and firmly establish its
fundamental principles, we invite the co.opera-
ton of all the citizens of the United States.

The RED RIVER RAFT.-Having heard of the
great raft" in the Red river, since our geog-
raphY days, we are all apt to suppose we know
all about it. We are well aware that il is a mass
OF drllt wood, completely Obstructiag naviga-
ton at the point where it covers the water with
its countless trunks OF forest trees. We know
that the river passes under this mass as if il
werea bridge; and we may remember that in
1883, when the raft was 1874 miles long, the zen.
eral government began the work of removing
It, out alter working at it for twenty-five years
abandoned the attempt as mpracticable, and
connned Its efforts TO the opening up of some oil
rue lateral channels or bayouS. We may know
all this, but still be ignorant of one of the most
curious characteristics of the great raft which is
that 1t, unlike RATS in general moves up the river
against the current instead of down. The
movement is very slow, being but mile or two
in year. The explanation of this retroasade
movement Of an apparently stationary mass is
simple enough. The logs Of the lower end of
the raft arc continually broken away and car
rcd Off by the foods and freshets Thus the
raft, always falling away at one end and grow
ing at the other, gradually moves up the river
and It is calculated that ii has moved since its
forming about four hundred miles Scientific
writers have suggested the idea that this vast
mass OF timber, after lying in the old bed OF
the river for quite a number of ages, will be-
come coal bed But when the Red River
country becomes thickly settled, this enormous
collection OF drittwood may be utilized in some
way or other, and thus intellectually distant
generations may be cheated out of many Il rood
