all The committee deemed II proper not TO consider
the matter, the National Convention is quite obvl-

The effect of the two-thirds rule has been to nomi-

started with popularity already well established and
with frequently majority vote on tho second and

The time fixed for the meeting OF the National Demo-
cratic Convention does not give satisfaction to mem
bers of the party In Congress. for the reason that
Congress wil have got through its business and
made up It's record for the country before the 9th OF
June.
Speaker Kerr says that Congress viii hardly be able
to adjourn before the middle Of July, because the SEN
ate will contest all the reductions in appropriation
bills, and there will be Of conference committees
and wranglng between the houses before the APP

THE COLD.

The sudden change for cold yesterday morning was
surprise every one, the preceding days had been
mild as to give hope OF continuance OF pleasant
weather. The change occurred early; at A. n. the
thermometer stood at 90 degrees Fahrenheit but at
A NJ. It had sunk to IS. At "A NJ. II stood at Is
rising few degrees at and again sinking steadily
till at p. NJ. II stood ut IL. II continued ut
tkis figure, till after O'Clock this morning
The strength OF the wind made the change all
the percepuble and those whose business did not
absolutely compel them TO go out OF doors naturally
preferred the warm comforts OF hope 10 the biting
blasts outside. Every looked cold and miserable.
Red noses and fearful eyes were seen on all sides.
The ladies wrapped furs and the gentlemen
buttoned up their listers tightly looking vexed aud
surly, disappointed and chilled men only can look.
Tho people evidently out OF humor or rather they
were In very bad hunor. But among those whose
will not allow them the luxury of warm cloth
ing whose poverty deprives them OF firing enough
To heat their miserable dwellings, the day was one of
positive hardship, and doubtless many who are
affected with lung throat diseases will find their
illness aggravated by the sudden change The absence
OF snow also tended 10 make the cold all the more
cheeress and dsagreeable and deprived many of the
pleasurabe exercise which the snow always enables
