In the Z. s. Senate, yesterday, the Vice Presi-
dent presented letter from Mr.. Caldwell Of
Kansas, resigning his seat in the Senate. In re-
ply to an inquiry, Mr.. Morton stated that this
put an end to further proceedings in the case.
1t is understood that Mr.. Caldwell took the
course of resignation, upon the knowledge that
some Of the Senators who were expected. to vote
in his favor had changed their minds and inten-
ded to vote for his expulsion. Although two
thirds vote might not have been secured for ex-
pulsion, majority was known to favor this
course, and, after such vote, Mr.. Caldwell could
not have held the seat with any credit to him.

The Local Option vote, in Pennsylvania, does
not realize the expectations of the friends of
Prohibition. They appear to be very little, if
any stronger in the aggregate, than in 1854,
when the vote was taken for or against prohib'

against license, and number Of those which
were expected to do o,have given heavy major

MOVINe DAY.


People viii change their local babitktions,
when change is only matter Of choice, and not
of necessity. In all directions. to-day, the house
hold treasures are being 'toted' about, in al
sorts Of oonSe5ances, for short or long distances,
emptying one house and filing up another.
weather so unpleasant as this suggests the
question Why have Moving Day at all : But
it seems reasonable and perhaps necessary there
should be one. When q largo number of peo-
pie are 10 change their residences, they must, as
rule, all do it at ones, or we should find two
families crowded into one house, and some with.
o1t houses at ALL But why the 25th day ot
March, which is more frequently stormy
than clear, and is often very unpleas-
ant and unfit for the purpose
(as to-day,) should have been chosen, may
rsmain mysterious. 1t is the close of rent
quarter for enc thing, but probably the quarter
" payments of years rent were made to end
on March 25th, because that was the day foI
moving.
n 1t is likely that the choice Of our time for re-
moval has.been influenced by the customs Of the
country around u.s. In Pennsylvania, the farm
ers change on the First of April, the reason for
shifting about that time being that the Spring
work is thon Just about commencing. The prep
arations for putting in crops seldom begin much
sooner, and cannot be safely left much later.
The weather is not always favorable, and the
roads are often very bad, but the time is appar-
emily the most suitable of the year, unless the
late Autumn, after the crops were all gathered,
was chosen.
The habit, therefore, Of the country around
us, Of moving in the Spring, no doubt influ-
enced the iule Of Wilmingto on's annual changes
while vet the town was young and small, and
the time once established, has continued
though there is now no reason why removals
should not take place at a later date. The New
York custom of removing at the First of Ma!
might suit us better. The weather, then, is usu
ally mild and pleasant.
From to-day's cold rain, there will result man,
cases Of sickness-rheumAtism, catarrh. inAu
enza, lung affections, and 80 on. The babie
will get sick, and the beds will get wet Tn
men will slip on the icy pavements, and sprai
themselves. The houses will be damp, and colo
and dismal. It is not nice, nor cheerful. How
ever, we are better OF than those queer friend
and neighbors of ours, down the State, and o.
the Eastern Shore of Maryland, who remove o.
the First of January, and have terribly roug
and stormy experience, almost invariably.

Is 1T TROY2-DR. SCHLIE-
NANN'S DISCOVERY.

The alleged discovery of the site
of Troy by DR.. SchIiemanu has led
to a spirited controversy. 1t is
acknowledged that the ancient city
found by him is not the traditional
site of Troy, 1t is also said that
the la ter was so eftectually destroy
ed that it would be impossible to
Identity its remains. On the other
hand, that DR.. Schliemann has
uneart hed some old city long buried
and forgotten is undoubted. Near it
also the course of a river supposed
to be the Scamander can be traced.
Walls like the massive walls of Troy
still remain, Amphorae, goblets, Jew
elry, antique vases, curious relics of
pottery and the household. utensils of
a people of great antiquity have been
obtained. The sites of three differ
ent cities are plainly to be traced,
and one at least of these cities suffer-
ed severely from the fire. Whether it
is the Troy of Homer, or some city
unknown, DR.. Schliemann deserves
great credit for his perseverance, and
research, and his name will be coupl-
ed hereafter with Layard, Botta and
others.
