There is no objection to the IN
PRODUCTION of bill, by Senator
Bruce, to pay 100000 out of the
public purse to the defrauded
depositors of the Freedmen's

weighty and efrectual objections
to its passage. Our national
treasure is not a trust fund out
of which to pay the criminally-

Weather Probabilities.

IIcaFy G. Vennor, of the Ge-
illogical Survey of Canada, wri-
ting from Montreal recently,
made predictions of the weather,
which have attracted much at
tention by their remarkable cor
rectness. He says:
Between the both and 25tb
the cold term will probably SCI
in, and this bids fair to be very
severe, and occasion some very
low MISUNDERSTANDING. Thus,
with the exception Of one con-
siderable thaw in this month,
February will be an exceedingly
wintry month. The 18th and
Dist of March will again give
heavy spowt<alls, and it is prob
able that in this month we viii
have more snow than at any
time previous during the winter.

ed to the enumerators Is as fol-
lows: Two cents for each living
inhabltant two cents for each
death reported ten cents for
each mandatory, which is to be
in full for all services, and no
milage or travelling expenses.
The subdivision assigned to each
enumerator must not exceed four
thousand inhabitants. All per-
sons above the age Of 81 years

felt and pay a sum of not ex-
ceeding 500, to be recovered in
an action of debt. Presidents,

Parallel Gases.

i, The neutrality-suspicious. like
their brethren in Tennessee, are
determined to cheat the creditors
of the State if possible. How to
get I'D Of or repudiate what they
owe is the most important gues-
ton with them. The Richmond
(Va.) States diyulges the plan:
Many have been the methods
suggested and the. tricks recon-
mended; but the same difficulty
has always presented itself. The
Supreme Court of Appeals is the
first lion in their path, and means
of slaushtering that have been
from time to time discussed; but
there are constitutional obstacles
in the way which time and the
voice Of the people only can re-
move; and then Of what use re-
moving them, when behind them
stands that still more powerful
guardian Of the people and pro-
tector Of their vested rights, the
Constitution and the Supreme
Court Of the United States. = =
The whole matter resolves itself,
when shorn Of all the specious
sophistries of reputation and
plausible pleas Of knayery, into
an effort to rob the creditors Of
the State, whose fathers loaned
the Commonwealth the money to
construct the public improve
ments, whose uses and benefits
we are now III the full enjoyment
of, which have so greatly i'm
proved the property,real and per-
sonal, of the Commonwealth, and
more than doubled its yaluc- we
say to rob the lawful heirs and
inheritors of the bonds of these
men Of the balance Of their
claims, after having already pre-
vailed upon them to surrender
one-thirdJof the amount that was
justly their due. But in this
last dodge they will most inglo-
riously and ignominiously fail, as
they have failed in all their pre-
vious assaults upon the good
faith, credit, and honor of lVir-
ginia. The act contemplated
cannot be consummated. The
people ofthe Commonwealth will
never permit it. They stand in
the way to prevent the commits
sion of this great crime, and rest
assured they will prevent it.

Special Correspondence Of the OBsEEvRRl
WAsnEcTox, D. e., February IL, 1880.
The Civil Service never was
degraded until 1879. Before
November it is reasonable t0be-
lievc that the condition. of the
service in 1879 will appear com
paratirely respectable, From
having the whole electoral vote
of the South to manipulate, as.
was the case few years ago,
the radical leaders are now call
ed upon only to intrigue for
votes from that section in their
nominating convention.
But j do not see that any less.
effort is made for the smaller
than for the larger result. AL
ready four Trcasuryoffic and
one man promised Treasury of
flee, uniting with four ether men
as a State Republican Commit
tee of North Carolina, have Sc
lected Sherman delegates at large
TO the Chicago Convention. IL
IS. said that this and other in
Engagements Of the civil Service
rules" have provoked a GOODNESS
between Hayes and Sherman,just
as the alleged appearance of the
Secretary Of State as a paid adj
vocate in the interest Of the DE
Lesseps Canal Company was said
to have produced rupture be-
tween Hayes and Eyarts. Prob
ably, though there is no truth
in either reported disagreement,
Mr.. Hayes himself has been too
frequent a violator Of his own
rules to make trouble with 9TH
ers on such account. 1t is now
said, too, that Grant is to appear
in the Southern States in season
to have his presence speak in his
favor before all the delegates are
selected. Those who know Mr..
Blaine, the other radical possi-
bility, are of the opinion that his
hand, also, will appear in the
Southern field. Unlike the 9TH
ers mentioned, the Senator cam
not be accused of openly viola
ting rules which he helped to
make. He never helped to make
any. Altogether, as ! com
menced by saying, 1880 will
probably be the worst year for
''reform."
I have always had a high re-
gard for the legislative integri-
ty Of Speaker Randall, and still
have, and with to have, but can
not he suppress further debate OH
OH the new rules Of the House,
and allow other business to 60
on? 1t is generally understood
that all the members of the Com
lnittee on Rules of which he is
chairman, are acting under his
advice or in accordance with
his suggestions. Does Mr.. Ran
dali wish to keep Congress in
session up TO the time the Dem
ocratic Convention meets? If
SO for what purpose?
States which believe in the
maintenance of their constitu-
tional rights andpowers,asStates,
are TO be congratulated on the
vote in Committee killing Repre-
sentative Reagan's "Inter-state
Commerce" bill. 1t had in ii

radical measure passed in the
