THE WEATHER.-But little change has taken
place in the meteorological conditions east of
the Rocky Mountains during the past twenty
four hours. The depression that is over the
lake regions continues to dominate the weather
ms far south as the central valley districts. The
pressure within it, however, has not fallen very
much and is not likely to do so until it ap-
proachcs the Atlantic coast line. The barom-
eter is only relatively high over the South At
lantic and Gulf States, and there indications
that temporary fall will occur in the western
portion of the latter districts. In the West and
Northwest the pressure is rising slowly. Rain
fell over the upper lakes, the central valleys,
South Atlantic and Gulf States. The weather
was fair in the Northwest and West
and partly cloudy over the Middle At
lantic and New England States. The
temperature fell i'm all the districts
except the central valleys, where it remained
nearly stationary. The winds have been from
light to fresh throughout the country. Although
the conditions are somewhat complicated at
present they are likely to become more settled
during the day, by that lime the depression
that is over the lakes will have reached the
Middle Atlantic and New England States,
whence il will move rapidly into the ocean.
The weather over the British Islands is be-
coming unsettled in the northern districts.
The wind has increased to gale mt some sta
tions and the pressure is falling. The weather
In New York and its vicinity to-day will be
warmer and fair Tomorrow the same condi
tions are likely to prevail.

Having destroyed the evidences Of
their own successful bribery in the
purchase of Returning Boards, that
all kinds of testimony unite in prov
ing were for sale, the Republicans
make much of a few ciphers sent back
and forth by irresponsible persons in
the Democratic party, which seemed
to contemplate the thing that their
opponents accomplished with this
justification, however, that had what
has been limited at succeeded the par
ties would have been doing what
many do without being thought so
very culpable, that is, compromise
with the thieves who had robbed them
of their own. But whatever the
temptation and the justification on the
Democratic side may have been, the
question OF ethics involved does not
seem to disturb Mr.. Tilden. His ties.
timony, voluntarily furnished and up
on oath, would go great way as an
offset to what might appear ugly facts
TO meet; but no such formidable stu
alton challenges the proofs. Mr.. TIL
denis denial covers the whole ground,
and there is absolutely no counter
evidence. His worst enemies can on
ly keep on reiterating and insinuating;
they no longer attempt proof. They
have simply offered him an opportu-
nifty to show again the grandeur, puri-
ty and consistency of his character,
and SO far as present developments
take us he enjoys the most triumph
ant vindlcation of his life. Assailed
as few men have been, by the reason
of the brilliancy Of his talents, and
the strength of his character, he seems
to turn the pen points, tipped with
malice, with greater ease at each fresh
attack. His character is his best arm.
