It will be seen from the above illustration that tho

LAW COMPENSATION
Professor LOOMS and other authorities assert that
although the annual mean temperature OF a place
varies the difference between the coolest and the hottest
year seldom exceeds ten degrees and this statement is
supported by the following evdence:-"At New Haven
the hottest year which has occurred in period OF
eighy-sx years that OF 1928 and the coolest year
hat OF 1886 the extreme range Of the annual tenn
peraure in eighty-six years being $50 deg" Tho
meteorological registers kept by Presidents Day and
Stiles and by DR.. Monsoon and others for the eghty.sx
years between 1878 and 1866 were rigdly inspected
and reduced by committee OF the Connecticut Acad-
envy, who reported these records proving the fol-
loving facts THAT for all those years OF the century
permanent change had occurred in the average date
of of the last frost OF spring of the FIRST
frost OF autumn, nor in the time OF the first snow OF
winter, OF the last snow OF winter in the average
date OF the Towering Of fruit trees such the peach
cherry, &c"
This was not inconsistent with the reports in the
same records OF great extremes OF heat and cold tenn
porary experienced at intervals. Such extremes are
well known authentic history all the way up the
Christian
EARLY COLONIAL RECORDS
To go back in our own history the early colonial
records the winter OF l64l rozc Boston Bay far at
the eye could reach; but during the
there little and snow until March 3 In
the year 1853 Governor Winthrop that in the last
Of February there a deep snow but winter was
at end" Take again the middle Of the
fury, when the Hudson was open to Albany through
January and February of the year 1856, and "thcre
were two or three winters in succession the most
mild that recOllected by the Oldest men,
and all the world cried out what a change
of climatel'" But the severe winters which
followed reversed that common opinion and
taught the general law Of compensation or average
heat and cold This again demonstrated in such q
year 1897 in which, while the Hudson and Delaware
were covered with solid ice before the end OF Novem-
Der, the mean temperature OF the whole month at
the Exchange in New York was 1857 deg These
phenomena OF previous centuries would to have
been reobserved sin the memory Of the oldest nhabt-
anti and OF the meteorologists Of the day unless il
be admitted that our modern winters have become
more inconstant than when the country covered
with woods, and that the warm weather of autumn is
extending further into the winter ana the cold the
winter and spring is encroaching on the summer In
order that the comparison OF the temperatures of past
winters may be properly made with that of the present
the following table, which shows the mean
temperature for the winter months OF the last ten
years, Is presented to the reader:

This graduation of mean monthly temperature repre-
sents the mean of over quarter OF century, and
forms reliable basis on which may make our com.
parsons. They are taken from the records of tho
Army Meteorological Register and from a number of
other equally reliable sources which have been carefully
calculated and compared by scientific men since 1866
Since tina: time the records OF later years have been
compared with the established mean, and only the
most unimportant variations have been found. In
order form correct idea Of how closely the annual
mean corresponds with that established in 1855 it is
only necessary TO note the records oil the past thirteen
years, from 1868 to 1875 both inclusive.

THAT DECISION.

Judge Bond has decided that the State
Supreme Court has no jurisdiction over
the Board of State Cnnvasscrs, and has
released those dignnturics from the nffi-
GERS Of the law, despite the commitment
by Inc Supreme Court for contempt
The decision is simply remarkable.
How Judge Of the United States Cir.
cult Court can review the acts of II State
supreme Court, in matters relating tn
the State, VIC cannot understand upon
any principle except that of brute force.
we suppose an appeal has been tnkcn
from Bonds decision, and the Supremc
Court of the United States ;-i!l be asked
upon his acts. In tho meantime, Con
gress ought, we repeat. to impeach this
meddlcr, and thereby suspend him from
Office, ut least until the election compii-
cations are settled. Prominent men ol
the Nation think Judge Bond is in con-
tempt of the Supreme Court, and ought
to nc dealt with by it. The question
would no doubt be made but for the fac;
that United States bnyonets are here to
uphold the usurpcrs. 1t may be sub
Iect for future action. We hope Congress
will, however, save our State Courts the
trouble of looking after Judge Bond by
impeaching him.

THE PRETENDED INAUGURATION.

The action of Governor Chamberlain
in pretending to be inaugurated as Gov
crnor leaves the State without an execu-
tive. He was counted in by an illegal
body, and took tho oath Of office before n
man whose term of Office as Probate
Judge had expired. His pretended in
augural is indeed remarkable produc-
tion, as our readers will perceive. He
pirates about duty I'M elling him to take
the Office, while every body knows that
he has violated every duty in taking it
which is sacred to the better part of man.
The card of General Hampton de-
nounces part of the so.called inaugural
MS false, and no response has been msde
thereto. The close of his address speaks
of monstrous outrage, under whose
black shadow they were assembled, which
it was his solemn duty to resist. The
only outrages under whose shadow they
were assembled, that ne can learn of was,
first, the Invasion of the rights of State
by military bayonets, and second, the
usurpation of the rights of the House of
Representatives by his dusky followers.
He has neglected his duty 10 not resisting
these outrages. His Inauguration was e
farce, and he may, himself be indicted
for treason in the opinion Of many very
able lawyers.

the conflict. Our poaition then from tho
first has been on. the defensive, and must
necessarily congipuc to be so, else we
sAticss would iIsompt us to avoid. Some

have the people Of the State SO fully ap-
preciaeed the noble qualities and politi-
cal sagacity Of our noble Hampton. We
feel no hesitation i'm saying that we would
he willing to assume the responsibility of
any mistake committed by Hampton.
Though this delay policy may worry
and distress the people Of the State, who
are anxious to be relieved from the sus-
pence which has for so long time dis
tressed them. yet we would urge patience
for little time longer By precipita'a
action we may lose all; by patience alone
we can gain all. Patience 80 far, has
borne glorious iruts-frst. the securing
Il quorum, which Grint can't ,vcn refuse
70 recognize; and, second, the recognition
of our House as the constitutional House,
and the consequent judgment that the
Rump House is unconstitutional. This
of itsef will nullify every act which may
be passed to which the Rump was party,
and fixes, beyond question, the fact that
by their House no taxes can be collected.
If the worse then should come, We have
only 10 refuse (" pay taxes, and the
Courts stand ready to protect us.

ANOTHER ELECTION.

Another election for members of the
Legislature has been resolved upon BY
the Mackcy House, to lie ordered in eve
rs County where the representatives have
not been sworn in under Mackcy, or
where they lave left his House The
Constitutional House is considering the
subject of ordering IN election for the
seats of all those members who have not
hccn sworn into its organization. The
action oi the Markcy House is illegal
aud we hope the Constitutional HOUSE
will take no steps towards another clec-
ii"n until its rights have been secured by
recognition from the Senate or the in
auguration Of the Governor elect. We
will have more to say on this subject, if
the election is ordered.

Senator Robertson declined being n
candidate for reelection to the United
States Senate from South Carolina before
the usurping legislative body in Colum-
bin on last Tuesday, and concluded his
letter declining to run by saying, ere
garding this body intending to pro-
ceed to elect United States Senator on
Tuesday as constitutionally defective,
for want of the cooperation OF the consti-
tutional House of Representatives, am
constrained to withhold my name AS a
candidate before It," This shows how
the Senator, who is Conservative Re-
publican, looks upon matters in South
Carolina. His position will give eddi-
tional testimony to the justice of the
Democratic claim, that the House Of
Representatives presided over by Col.
Wallace, and recognized By the Supreme
Court, is the legal body.

that when Vance sat down on Judge Set
