No NEW THING UNDER THE SUN-WEATHER
AND WEATHERwIsE.-The remarkably mild
weather for the winter has become theme
of comment even among the school-chiidren
The end Of the world is near, they say, for
the time has almost come when one season
is not known from another. Older sases
also say they believe the winters now are
getting milder than they used to be, and that
the seasons are changing. But it will be
some consolation to all who are in anywise
anxious about it to know that, according to
veritable ancient records, in February, 1704
flowers were blooming in the woods in this
latitude; in February, 1779, the willows
leayed, the peach-trees blossomed, and now
ers of dandelion were seen; In January,
1871, there was not ice enough on the small
est ponds to bear dog; in January, 1870,
boys were boating on the rivers as If it were
summer; in January, 1903, the temperature
called forth the protestation of the oldest in
habitant that he had never seen the like
and in January, 1895, the skies were. cloud
less, the atmosphere warm, aud the only
thing the chropicler had to complain of was
being bothered by the flies. So there is
nothing so very new about warm weather in
winter, after all.--Baltimore Sun. q

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE REyENuE.-There is
q decided Improvement in the revenue. Col
lections from both internal revenue and i'm.
port duties are constantly increasing, though
it seems likely TO be several months before
the normal condition OF business will be re-
stored. Expenditures ona great many pub
lie Improvements have been stopped on ac-
count of the beginning OF winter, and the
drafts on the Treasury for two or three
months will be accordingly much lessened.
The increase of the revenues and reduc.
ton Of expenditures will cooperate to make
the debt statement for January much more
favorable than for December. The same in
fluence will be active through February and
March, and there is very good reason to be-
ieve that for the first three months of the
present year, taken together, there will be
no material increase of the public debt.
About half of the 4,000,00 reserve is in
circulation. Somewhat more than half OF II
has been drawn, but 100000 appear
as currency balance in the Treasury.

THE NATIONAL CURRENCY AcT.-Senator
Morton's bill authorizing national banks
that have decided to reduce their capital to
withdraw a proportion of bonds upon retir-
ing their own circulating notes" has been
amended by the Finance Committee and re-
commended to the favorable consideration of
the Senate. 1t provides, as amended, "that
any banking association that may decide 10
reduce its capital stock, as provided in the
| thirteenth section of the 'act to provide q
national currency, secured by pledge of
United States bonds, and to provide for the
circulation and redemption thereof APP
proved June 8, 1864, shall be entitled to take
up pro rata portion of its bonds upon de-
posting lawful money ofthe United States or
returning its own circulating notes in the
proportion required by law; and whenever
such reduction shall be authorized under
said section, any notes of such bank there:
after coming into the Treasury Of the United
States shall be cancelled until the amount so
cancelled, together with such as shall be re-
deemed, shall equal the amount Of reduc-
ton authorized"

ADEFAULqrsa COUNTY TRANSFORMATIONS
,feM, Ohio, January 5.-Ihe Treasurer OF
Richmond county, R. Fl. Rowland, has been
absent since "Wednesday last, and an exami-
nation Of his safe by the deputy treasurer
and county commissioners shows that SILL, :
412 is also missing, of which il is stated that
about 100000 has been lent to certain per-
sons in this city. Of this sum $4,000 is gone
beyond recovery, the borrowers being bank
rupt. 1t is supposed that Rowland carried
with him about $50, 900 in cash. His bonds.
men are considered good, and the county
will probably lose nothing. Rowland was
elected two years ago as Republican, and
has heretofore borne good reputation.

A Coup G'Etat in Texas-Thc State
Election Upset by the Supreme
Court-Rcpublicans Continued in
Power.
WASHINGTON, January Cit was stated in
these dispatches some ten days since, on
trustworthy information, that there was Il
purpose on The part of the Republican Off
cialS of Texas TO defeat. if possible, the will
Of the people expressed at the late election in
the choice of Governor and other State OIL
GERS. The design, rs then stated, was to APP
peal to the Supreme Court oil the state 10 de-
clare the law under which the election WAS
held rs unconstitutional. This court Is a
remnant of military rule, never having been
mt in position by fair vote Of the people.
il was anticipated that it " ould respond to
the wishes of the Republican officials,
who wanted to hold on to their
offices. especially as its own continued
existence was involved in the ques.
ton. At the time Of the election con-
s;itutional amendment was also carried pro-
yiding for new Supreme Court. The cleo
ton resulted in the Democrats sweeping the
whole State. BY press dispatches it appears
| that the present Supreme Court has fulfilled
the cynectations entertained Of its action,
and has decided that the election law was
unconstitutional. The effect of this decision
is to retain in office this court itself, and all
the other Republican officials.
THE ACTION OF THE COURT.
The counsel for the State urged that the
case was fictitious, and supported the state
ment by allitlavitS, and urged the court, in
| behalf of its own dignity, to inquire into it..
| This they refused to do. The States attor-
ncy then informed the court that the grand
| Jury had examined the case, aud he and they
being satisfied that it was fictitious, no in
dictmcut was found, and united with the
| prisoner in asking his discharge. The court
refused to discharge him, and proceeded to
hear case bostercd, we believe, by per-
jury.
The following is the constitutional clause
construed by tie court-viz:
| "SEcrIoN 6. All elections for State, dis.
trict, or county officers shall be held at the
| county-seats OF the several counties until
! otherwise provided BY law, and the polls
shall be open for four days, from O'Clock
A. NJ. until 4 o'clock 2. u. Of each day"
The last Legislature multiplied the places
of voting by providing for precinct cleo
tionS, and limited the time of voting to one
day, to prevent frauds. This act the Supreme
| Court CONSTITUTES to he illegal, and thus at.
| tcmpts to destroy the succession in the legis-
lative and executive departments. The car
pet-bag officials claim that Attorney General
| Williams has given assurance of Federal sup
| port in setting aside the late election.

Especial telegram to tile Petersburg News s
WAsHlSaroS, january 8.-The Radicals
in the House to day fesorted 10 one of their
characteristic acts of fraud and malignity.
In order to insult and irritate the southern
members of Congress who arc opposing the
civiLrighis bill highly-oflensive speech
was written by Mr.. Eoar, OF MASSACHUSETTS.
and put into the hands Of n MASSACHUSETTS
negro named Elliott, Who pretcndsto repre-
sent South Carolina. The speech was made
especially bitter aud malignant towards Mr..
Beck OF Kentucky. MIR. Stephens Of Geor.
cia. and Judge Harris of Virginia. who had
already spoken in this debate. None Of
these gentlemen took the slightest notice Of
this Negroes insolence, and Mr.. Stephens was
not IN the hall; but the Radicals regarded
this trick as 4 grand and honorable perform
anrc, aud appIsuded repeatedly his most
offensive remarks. the Speaker (Mr. Blaine)
taking no Mains to check the disturbance.
Nercr since the war has more malignant
and insulting spirit inspired the House than
was eyinced by the way this Negroes speech
was received to-day. At the conclusion a
number of Republicans shook bands with
Kim. among whom were Garfield, Butler,
SAWYER. kasSou. J. Amber Smith, Horace
MAYNARD, Shcllabarser, and General William
7. Shcrman-th last Of whom sat directly
in the rear of this negro aud applauded MIN
during the speech.
The game OF the Administration leaders
o.cisy was to put up the negroes to insult
the white representatives OF the South, ana
hv furnishing their negro orator with 4
carctulIy-prepared haranguc TO ma6c nm
appear equal 10 tho white man on the floor.
THE NEXT TICKET
of the Grant leaders is to lay aside the blii
while the Maryland and Virginia senatorial
elections are pending, and in the mean time
,ury pretend that they are gong to modify
that measure The negroes will probably
be instructed to keep quiet while this little
g;u.c is being played.
