says: BLEAK and clustering about this

Oa.) Times, March 3.
We were too fast last week in our item
on the conflict between DR.. Aver and the
wild geese. The Doctors science beat
their instinct this time. Not for years
have we had such snow storm as that
of last Sunday. The snow lies three feet
deep on a level in Minnesota and two
feet in Wisconsin, while the storm has
swept from the Atlantic to the Rocky
Mountains. Snow fell to various depths
as far south as Denver, Fort Union and
Santa Fe. Learned as we believed Dr.
Aver in the arcana Of nature, and Won
derful as we knew his medicines to be,
we were not prepared for so signal an in
stance of his superiority, not only over
the wise men, but the wisest Of animals
whose instinct is considered unfailing.

"Llberal'' Consistency!

The Ypsilanti (Mich.) Sentinel, straight
out and able Democratic paper, thus shows
up the inconsistencies, absurdities, and
knavery Of the Greeley Democracy, espe-
cially in regard t, the Clark, colored cadet
affair:
"Don't it look funny? A year ago, the
Free Press and other Democratic papers, were
demanding that the "eOlored cadet Smith"
should be dismissed from West Point be-
cause he cracked calabashes over the
heads Of the white cadets, and demoralized
the institution generally. He was court
martialed and sentenced to dismissal, but the
President mitigated the sentence, and gave
him another chance, for which the same
presses roundly abused him. Now, they are
making martyr of Smith, and cursing Grant
for, as they say, asking to have n court-mar-
tial packed to convict and dismiss him.
These papers are converted" any how.

don't hang together.O

Mr.. sUMNER's VENEZUELA MIDDLE.


The statement relative to the Venezuela
claims, made in the letter of Col. Hinton,
errs slightly in saying that that Government
paid in any portion Of the awards. The re.
port made by Gen. Banks committee says:
Whel the first installment of the awards
fell due, Venezuela failed to make payment,
and sent an agent to Washington, who inter.
posed exceptions and objections to the con.
duct and acts Of the commissioners, and
urged that the awards should be set aside"
Under this the matter became the subject
of diplomatic correspondence, and Mr.
Partridge, our Minister at Caracas, was di
rected to ask for "speciGc charges accom-
panied by proofs" Such testimony was
given, and by the Executive transmitted to
the House, which, by resolution, had asked
for information. The committee say after
examining this testimony
"That they cannot avoid the conclu
sion that it shows reasonable ground
for complaint on the part Of the Gov
eminent of Venezuela, and the claim.
ants whose cases were adjudicated before
the tribunal. These complaints are OF
the following tenor: That powers of attor.
ney were given in some of the cases to the
American commissioner, and he received
pecuniary compensation for executing the
same that an improper intimacy existed
between the American commissioner, the
umpire, and Mr.. VIM. P. Murray, who was
the attorney of sundry claimants, and was
also represented as being the Secretary of
Legation, all the claims having to pass
through his hands; and that the said vii
liam P. Murray received from the tribunal
of arbitration certificates to the amount, in
most cases, Of one-half the sum allowed to
the claimants. This last ground of com.
plant is common to the Venezuela Govern.

He certainly would not have supported Greeley whom he knew
