An EXPLANATION Demanded,

IL the Editor Of the AleranclriN Gazette:-
Mr.. Hoar Of Massachusetts stated in replying
to MIR. Hewitt on the Goth Of February that the
latter by three days companionship with him
on the Electoral Committee had the fullest
knowledge of the fact that the right Of the Com
mission to 20 into the ascertainnent of the
facts as to who had been lawfully elected Pres
idetial Electors was utterly denied. The natu
raj inference is that it was denied by the radical
members of the committee. If MIR. Hoar
speaks the truth the democrats of that COM
mittce committed an objectionable offence
against their constituencies as well as the country
at large, in advocating the compromise BILL
The people OF Virginia, do not want to believe
MIR. HOar, but as yet, his assertion stands un.
contradictcd. Will not some member OF the
committee tell us the plain truth Of the matter
Nail this spurious coin to the counter at once

tce it behooves you to do 80. T..

The return of Peter B. Sweeny to
the place that knew him too long and
we'll for its own good, says the Daily
Graphic, probably means the winding
up of the old ring suits. OF course the
lawyers want to prolong the cases which
they find 80 profitable. But $50, 900
year is good deal of money to pay in
these hard times for their detection.
And as the cases against Tweed have
cone to standstill for the want of
some missing links of testimony,
Sweeny will probably be able to supply
the matter, which will probably be ad-
iusted in some way and closed up. The
whole matter is in the hands of the
Tammany politicians who have not en-
tirely forgotten their chiefs of other
days and who probably have the best
reasons for wishing to bury the old
scandal pretty deep under ground. The
fall and fate of man like Sweeney.
who was in most respects far the ablest
member of the ring are instructive
enough to"point a moral and adorn a
tale. 1t is understood that only the
skeleton of his once great estate re-
mains, gand that'he.has picked the bones
bare till they are dry enough for an
anatomical museum.

Mr.. A. b. Lambarton, of this city, has
kept record of the arrival of birds for
some years past. 10 1872 the first rob-
ins were observed there March 2S.
Wild geese were going north in March,
and snipe were found April II. That
was backward year. In 1873 robins
came March 18th, sparrows 18th, blue
birds 18th, pigeons 10Th. Snipe and
woodcock were found at Victor March
2Stb. In 1874 blue birds arrived Mar.
18th, and snipe were shot Mar. 81. In
1875 the first robins were seen Mar. II
and sRlpe were found April 7th. 1t is
found by orthniologlsts that the male
song birds migrate north about week
before the hens, and when not disturb.
ed in a nesting ground, will return to
the same place for years. Evergreen
swamps are the localities in which the
birds are generally to be found first, as
they are warmer than other regions,
and there are some instances of robins
remaining all winter in this latitude in
dense swamps. Orioles and bobOlinks
are the last birds to arrive, and do
not greet us with their songs until about

Mcclellan is a Democrat of mild
