A clear majority of all the repub-

Of the TRiBUNE's prescription for the
party ills, 1t has evidently been
thoroughly shaken, as we Judge from
the time it has been getting through

ticable we shall go on with the pro-
eramme, as originally planned A
circular will be sent to each member
of the so-called committees, request
ing them to fiji in the blanks thereon
and forward to Judge Clementson.
The discussion of the subject by
the press and the people has shown
that the most acceptable thing will
be the recognition of the chairman
of the several county committees, as
Congressional dist. committee; but
some other good plan may be
adopted Necessarily the date first
mentioned fer the circulars TO be
fled with Judge Clementson, will
be change to one later, as it is found
impracticable to accomplish the
W rk required by that time Nov. 49, |

Prof Holden, director of the

establishment of a State weather
bureau He says the work could be
undertaken at the Observatory with
the addition of one man to the pres
ent force, who could be secured for
about 5000 per year. The professor
is confident that such bureau
would be Of great value to the peo-
pie of the State. Through it all
sections reached by telegraph could
be appraised of any material change
of weather 2 to "A hours in advance.
He says the injurious frosts of the
present fall were known to be com
ing, by the signal service officialS
a day before they came. Had our
tobacco planters been as well in
formed as he intimates they would
have been by an efficient State bu
reau, many thousands of dollars
worth of the crop that was ruined
would have been saved, and many a
poor man would have secured his
little patch, by the loss of which to
him is a calamity. The amount neo-

purchasers generally appeared either
in person or by attorney, and with
one accord solemnly asserted that

have revert back to the State; only
few tracts they claim were found
upon investigation to be worth more
than they paid, and as many worth
less for their purposes. In the hope
of obtaining some reliable evidence
to sustain the charges and rumors
of fraudulent collision, the com.
missioners cited the editors of the
papers in which the charges appear

knew about it. But two or three
editors came forward, and not one
of them but admitted he knew moth
ing, and had nothing but street
rumor as the basis of what has been
published. On the principle that
where there is much smoke there
must be some fire, the commission
ers were justified in assuming that
fraud had been practiced, and in an

head of the screw. A small bar or rod ofiron,
flat at the end, il REDEEMED in the fire and APP
piled for cuplc or three minutes to the

do the rest, without causing the least dam

above the common kind, where it is ncccs-
sary to use screws, and particularly in hinge
work and mountings, fancy Estenings and
appliances affixed to joincry or furniture
