1t is said by those who have had expe-
rience that Sunday the 7th inst was the cold
est known in this part of the State for 80
years. The mercury stood at 38 degrees
below zero, on the average, at o'clock in
the morning. In some more exposed sit
uation, it dropped down to 40. We heard
lady remark that she shorfa have frozen
to death if she had known it was as cold

THE CASE OF JOHN YOUNG Brown
WASHINGTON, February NO in
cident of the session has given the
Democrats so much annoyance as the
arraignment before the House of John
Young Brown. They are even more
distressed on account Of it than they
were on the day of its occurrnce. In
private conversation his Democratic
colleagues have censured him without
stint. IT any minority Of Democrats
respectable in number or in its CON-
position been voted for the resolution
of censure, the Democratic Represen-
tatives would not have committed
their party to the support, not only of
his personal attack upon Butler, but
of the falsehood and prevarication by
which be accomplished his purpose of
utterins it. They were in fear for
while that the resolution offered by
Mr.. Dawes would be passed, and i: is
said that Mr., Beck advised Brown to
resign, and that Browns resignation
was written and would have been pre-
sented in the House, if the resolution
of expulsion had not been Withdrawn.
Governor Stephenson is also credited
with having told Brown in the plain
est terms that be ought to rise in his
place and retract the language that he
had used and beg the pardon of the
House, but Brown would not yield to
any entreaties from his associates, aud
if they really entertained the senti-
ments they now profess, it is surpris
ing they did not have the manliness
to vote in accordance with them when
they had an opportunity. In the face
of the record, their private disclaimers
after the fact will be of little service
to them.-N. 7. Times.
