CONGRESS-.

Congress is too quiet to make any re-
port of its proceeding necessity. The
last extra session was noted for the
character of work undertaken, the bitter
ness of feeling manifested toward the
republican party and the President, by
the party in majority, the fierce threats
and the buneOmbe speeches. Democrats
fought the President to the end and de-
parted, having passed all the apprOpria-
tiOn bills but one. During the fall
elections, the people everywhere spoke
in denunciation of the attempt to
coerce the president, and the spirit of
the democratic party. as shown by its
leaders in Congress. Now everything
has changed; the party, still in majority,
is as meek and quiet as sick lamb.
No new measures are being introduced,
no angry talk is INDUCED in, and the
cloven foot is covered by mOccasin, Sc
that nobody can see the hoof of the an
imal that reared so loudly last winter
and spring. Presidential election is
just ahead, and hence the quiet. Last
week the Gen. Porter case came up il
the Senate, and Senator Randolph spoke
for, and Senator Logan against re-instat
ing him in the Office from which he wa
discharged by court marshal during thu
war, giving him pay for all these year
he has been in disgrace. 1t is curious
fact that almost every Confederate ant
Democrat favors Porter. 1t will be re
membered, that at the time Of the seconC
Bull Run battle he refused to 60 to th
aid of Gen. Pope, on his order, and
great defeat was the result. The Con
federates remember the favor done then
and are willing to compensate the ma
who did it. Senator Logan is said t
have made out very strong case agains

The FIVE per cent refunding bill. in
which eighteen States have direct pc
cuniary interest, and which takes from
the National Treasury at least four mil
lion of dollars as pot to be divided,
would not stay indefinitely postponed,
and on Friday its friends succeeded in
carrying a motion pOstpOnlng the further
consideration of the bill until December
next. Mr.. Edmunds and the other OPP
pOnents of the bill protested against this
pOstpOnement, declaring that the bill had
been discussed at length and fairly de-
feated; but the Senators from the States
interested were SO pathetic and SO earnest
in their entreaties that a number of those
who voted againt the bill on Wednesday
relented and voted for the definite post
ponement.

vENNOR AND THE WEATHER.

For some years certain Prof. Vennor
Of Montreal has been making weather
predictions, and having made now and
then right guess, many have become
to look upon him as reliable weather
prophet. Some papers have taken
pains to print his predictions, and to
help the credulous believe that rational
and scientific men endorsed him as only
second to ''0ld Probs." We are not
aware that anybody has undertaken to
endorse Vennor, who has given his
theories any study, or who has noted
the correctness of his predictions. Some
time since it was announced that Vennor
has made his chart for February. Early
in the month there was to be snow
storm, with blockaded railroads and
huge drifts everywhere. About that
time there came storm,-light for or
binary winters, but it answered for a
Vennor snow. After the storm the
prophet predicted fine warm days, when
an unprecedented cold spell was to come
on, which would continue through the
month. How the prediction came out,
let those who believe in Vennor or other
weather prophets say. The MONITOR
has never printed the Vennor predictions,
and has never had the least faith in
them. For about six centuries the
world has been trying to discover the
laws that govern the weather; but it ii
probable that the medical almanacl
made in Noah's or Solomon's time wer,
just as good weather guides. as thos,
made by Truman Abel. DR.. Aver O.

eclipses, it will be utter folly to make
any weather charts that will be good
for the month or the year. The weather
bureau by means of the barometer, and
other weather meters" and by the
means of the telegraph, may be able to
predict for few hours, but ''Old Probs"
never lays down chart for the month.
Vennor's mistakes have been too many
and too frequent to make him of any
use as weather prophet, and the sooner
he is dropped, the better.
