Dissertation of an Ancient rempIo.

Ponzone, called by the Latins Tuteoli, is
situated on the Gulf of Bales, in face of
| Naples. The sea has submerged several
parts of the low lands, and TINS and earth
quakes have destroyed almost entirely, her
most remarkable monuments. Among the
ancient ruins. the remaining parts of an
amphltheatre Of temple dedicated to
Augustus is remarked, pier called Bridge
of Caigula. a labyrinth and fountain; but
the most interesting monument is a temple
called, without any perceptible reason, the
temple OF Scraps. This temple horribly
mutilated by volcanic shocks, was discover
ed IN the middle of the last century The
following is the description of this edihce as
given by the worthy author of the Histuri-
cal Dictionary of Architecture
" In the midst of quadrangular arcade
surrounded by columns whose bases still
remain intact circular part is seen formed
by sixteen columns Of African marble in
front Of each was formerly a statue, the
pedestais OF which are still in their place.
In the centre of this circle is seen a hole
covered by an open-wOrk fretwOrz of mar
bile, through which, in all probahi Ity. flow
ed the blood OF the victims. Opposite the
entry and the poSteIiOr pars oil the quad
Tangle on which is inscribed the circle of
the round temple, rose four large columns,
which perhaps formed the perist7e in front,
OF the sanctuary. Three still remain. On
these three large columns toward their
centre il seen one peculiarly which is diff
cult to explain. At the distance OF ten feet
above their base the marble is found to be
fretted away several inches, by pholades
and dacty les sort of sheII.fsh still found
in the small holes bored by them; above
and below there is not the slightest vestige
of their depredations on the circumference
of the columns. AS pholades are found on
the surface only of the sea, as they are
found neither in stones above nor in water
below the sea surface it is natural to sup
pose these cOrraded parts were formed
when the sea was ten feet higher than It is
now.
Around the quadrangular collonnade,
spoken OF, is still seen large number of
rooms, all square, with marble benches
around each room, they are perforated at
certain distances and have a second open
ing under the seats Everything tends to
convince that this temple falsely called
that OF Serapis) has been as all the temples
of Esculapius, one of the places under the
protection Of the god of medicine, where

The Political Revolution.

N'e copy the following editorial from the
Attakapas Register, journal that sup
ported Greeley and the fusion State ticket:
A political revolution without parallel
under the Republican form of government
has just taken place in louisiana A great
number of good men, in political sense
will suffer for the high carnival they could
not control. The hopes and expectations of
party are crushed. Where does the re-
sponsibility lie We answer, to our salts
faction-in the provisions of defective
election law; in the u8urpatiOn of power, the
arbitrary, indetensible and shocking acts of
our chief executive; in the attempt to de-
fraud large number of voters of their
proper registration; in the corrupt political
sentiments and consciences of political
leaders. Louisiana is almost insane, po-
lttically. But we do not propose to be
sentimental to the degree of some
of our contemporaries. The last
feather has not been plucked from the
American eagle. We do not believe that
Pinchback is bad Governor, or that his
associates in the Legislature are the worst
specimens of humanity III the world; on the
contrary, we know many of them to be true
reformeTs and excellent citizens. We pro-
pose to take the situation COoily, having no
spilled milk worth crying for.
The capitalist, planter, mechanic and la
bOrer want relief from certain oppressive
laws, and ruinous condition of affairs that
rings of irresponsible, corrupt agents, be-
longing to n0 single party, but champion
reform shouters in all, have brought upon
them. 1t is quite immatarial to them
whether Mr. A. or b. is chief executive or
legislator, provided the reforms are accom-
plished.
Without discussing the modus operandi
by which Republicans retain control of the
State, but taking cognizance of the fact
that every step has been taken under the
sanction of United States and State law.
the one paramount where the other failed
in certain requirements. we know that
government has been instituted and recog-
nized by competent authority in and ont
of the State, and that it iR capable to main
tain itself in the face of all opposition. We
propose, therefore, to all citizens to abstain
from undue partisan excitements, and
leave to lawyers, courts and contestants
the settlement OF claims to divers and sun
dry offices. In the meantime we give allie
glance to the powers that be.
The new Legislature and Governor
Pinchback have a proud opportunity to
win the confidence and esteem OF all par
ties. Let them pursue q dignitied, manly
course, as they have begun, and they will

The St. Louis Democrat saws.

We learn from Secretary Slattcry, of the
st, Louis elevator that semi annual divi
dends of five per cent will be paid to stock
holders on the first proximo No longer
ago than August, 1870, the stock of the St.
Louis elevator was a drug on this market
at forty to forty five cents on the dollar.
TO day it is not plenty at par. Reason
because tie pE,aotieahiIity of the great
up country have consigned their grain here
largely, enabling the elevator, the first in
the field, to pay two dividends of ten per
cent per annum. This accounts for the
milk in the C0c0anut directly.

The President as n LAWYER.

The result of the interview of the War
moth McEnery committee of LOuisianiana
with President Grant shows that the latter
is much better lawyer than many persons
have hitherto been disposed to acknowledged
him to be. This committee was headed nv
an ex.justice of the United States Supreme
Court, who resigned that high office to take
part IN the rebellion. During his seat upon
the bench Justice Campbell bore n bigb
reputation for shrewdness and ability. His
knowledge of public law is very extensive
and his reputation alone might have an is
Huence upon many persons against their
Judgment But this gentleman found him
self upon TINS occasion toiled by the legal
acumen OF the President, whose education
had been that of soldier Ex Justice
Campbell desired the President to do many
things which the chief magistrate had not
IN his power. He wanted the iudgns of the
Supreme Court and Of the Circnit Court of
the United States ordered to do certain
things which would have been a gross as-
sumption otauthority in the President to
attempt Failing in that, he asked that a
set or arbltrators, for the appointment of
WHICH mere Is no authority, either in the
constitution or laws, should be sent to Lou
I5lana to adJudicate the facts between the
partleS to local political Quarrel. The
President suggested that he had no
authority to interfere in such matter.

Weather Srnopsis Of January.

January taken as a whole was a very
pleasant winter month, the weather
being steady with very few of those
sudden changes which characterized the
months ofNovember and December. The
lowest point reached during the month
was 10 degrees below zero; the highest
was A degrees. The main average was
morning, 20 degrees; noon, 2s; evening,
"a. The general average was "a degrees.
A popularity of the weather from the
middle of November to the first Of jan
uaIy, was the regularity of storms on
each wednesday Or Thursday, with low
temperature, followed by high tempera-
ture and pleasant weather Saturdays and
Sundays. The greatest change in De-
cember was seventy-fve degrees within
a hours, running from 10 deg. below
zero to SO above, on the 2lst of that
month. The weather-wise generally
predict that il the first Sunday of a
month is pleasant or stormy, the other
Sundays of the same month will be like
it, excepting the last one. The past
month Of January proved an entire
failure judged by that rule, as the first
was the only bright Sunday in that
month. A. 7. n.

EDITOR CHRoNIcLE:-My little hit
that was so unworthy of notice brought
quite a lengthy reply from our Commits
sioners, and they ommence by saying;
SIT is rue that the county board of
equalization, in equalizing the values
between the different townships of the
county, did raise the value in some
townships, and Greene was one of them
which was raised 10 per cent"
All! then you really raised the Uatue Of
our real estate? Glad to hear it. Shall
add the 10 per cent. to the price of my
farm Immediately. Can't you meet and
| give Us another Lift
But candidly taking them as they
mean land not as they ssy) they acknowl-
edge all we charged them with, viz, that
Of raising the valuation of u lands 10
per cent; and then undertake t gloss it
oyer by saying that the Estate Board OF
Equalization reduced the aggregate of
the State u per cent, thus leaving
Greene less than as returned by the
appraiser"
But Messrs. Commissioners what has
that to do with county taxes2 Does not
the valuation Of our several townships in
the county remain in the same proper
ton, or relation to each other, as thew
did when you got through equalizing
themf You will deceive no one with
that dodge.
Next, they show us that our tax is
mostly for township purposes. Well,
now, we are very much obliged to the
gentlemen for showing us that our trus-
tees and school board made a very large
levy the past year. Isn't it a pity that
we should be so ignorant Of what we
have done in our own township, a mat
ter discussed by every voteri in town.
We complain of the Commissioners
through the county paper because they
are county officers. We can reach u
township officers in other ways. In
short we do not propose to discuss town
ship affairs in the county psper. After
