The Washington correspondent of
the New York Sun thus notes a condi-
tion of low temperature that has crept
into the Stalwart camp:
The relations between the President
and Mr.. Conkling are not so cordial as
they were a year ago. The latter has
twice visited Washington recently
without seeing the inside of the White
House. 1t is an open secret that he
condemned Arthur's policy of fpIopitiat-
ing the Half Breeds, which in truth
has not produced the least benefit to
the Administration, either with that
faction or with the country at large.
But there is said to be still another
reason why Mr.. COnkling's devotion
for his former friend is cooled. 1t is
alleged that he made four recommends
tions for office, neither of which the
President adopted These failures
wounded pride that is quick in re-
sentiment.
The President, ON his side, is not
without cause for grievance, according
! to the reports of intimate associates
His first desire was to do all he could
| W IClnONO WI OOhhlAhS llOh
the position in which he had been lef
by his own rashness. Arthur knew
how deeply it cut the inmost feelings
of Conkling to be exiled from the place
in public life where he loved to figure
and where he had made a large repu
tation.
He tried faithfully to re-elect him
and when he became President, he pu
the first place in the Cabinet at his dis
posal. Subsequently, when a vacanc,
occurred on the Supreme bench, b
offered it to him generously. and in
way that ought to have touched tn
tenderest chords of friendship. Bu
the response was not up to the Pres
dents expectation.
Logan's opposition to Fitz Johl
Porter cuts him loose from Grant. ]
is an appeal to the volunteer vote, a
against the regular army. Logan ha
also withdrawn from the Stalwarts t
the extent of setting up for himselfan
taking the chances for 1884. If he wa
not creation of machine management
and of patronage, he would let Arthu
fight his own battles. AS it is, h
must be friendly with the AdmiAistra
tion, or run the risk of losing tn
offices, which are the breadth of h
political life.

Weather Changes.

During the past week the weather
has been as freaky as it could be i'm
the Northwest cold and warm waves
following each other in quick success
sion, the murcury falling as low as 30'
and 40' below zero, while here it rained
or misted with the thermometer six
or eight degrees below freezing, when
it usually snows), congealing to the
pavements and making them very
CLASSY. The New York Sun thus
speaks of these weather changes:
1t does not seem very surprising
that ignorant and superstitious people
have believed in personifed powers of
the air, spirits of the storm and of sun
shine, wheR one reflects upon the
strilnge atmospheric contests, the story
of which can be gathered from the
telegraphic reports of the signal SER
vice. Cold currents contend against
warm ones; local conditions of barom-
etric pressure accelerate or retard the
advance Of storms, or arrest them and
drive them from their course; cyclones,
by flank attacks, wage tempestuous
war, and the atmosphere over a whole
continent is thrown into commotion by
these battles OF the powers of the air.
For two or three days we haye been
warned Of the approach of wave OF
cold air from the northwest. Its ad-
vance could be traced like the march
of aa army. On Wednesday 1t crossed
the Canadian frontier, swept over
Dakota, and invaded Minnesota; on
Thursday, led by Jack Frost himself,
it descended upon the middle Western
States, leaving ponds and streams tight
frozen In its track, and by nightfall its
advi.nce guard had taken possession oi
New York and sent street wanderers
seuEtying into the warmest hooks and
CORNERS. Ehe cold grew more intense
through the night, bat toward morning
the thermometer rose a few degrees
and the snow fell thick and fast
Evidently something unexpected had
occurred. The advance of the cold
was stopped Friday, the telegraph
brought an explanation. There had
been an attack in the rear, as it were

No State in the Union has as little
legal advertising as Delaware. The
laws are sometimes a year in the
hands of the State printers, before
they come out in book form, during
the most of which time the people may
be subjecting themselves to legal
penalties because they do not know,
and have no means of knowing the
provisions of the law they are innocent
ly violating. The following suggestion
of the Middletown Transcript is very
pertinent:
One of the best things the State Leg
islature can do this winter is to make
provision for the publication in the
newspapers of the laws it enacts.
Under the existing system of printing
and distributing the acts of the General
Assembly in Delaware, it is safe to say
that not one person in a hundred ever
sees a copy of them. They are printed
only in pamphlet form and are not usu-
ally ready for distribution until many
months after the close of the Legisla.
tive session. AS laws are made for the
government of the people, it would
seem to be important that they should
be placed before the people, in conve
nient printed form, at the earliest pos
sible time~after their enactment.

THE Erery EUening enjoys the dis
tinction of championing the anti-tem-
perance opposition to restrictive legis-
lation, among its reasons being the oft
repeated charge that such laws do not
prohibit. The DeLaCare Ledger calls
attention to the fact that neither does
the License law enacted ill the interest
of the traffic prohibit what it prom
ised to. 1t says:
1t is well known that our statue law
prohibits the selling, or otherwise dis
posing ofintoxicating liquors to minors,
and yet it is notorious that on last
Christmas day throughout our State
crowds of boys were disgustingly and
insanely drunk. 1t is growing habit,
and every week of the world this
dreadful sight of mere boys under the
influence of liquor is Witnessed in all
of our towns and villages. The stream
of society is being corrupted at its very
fountain. A moderate drinker in our
town remarked the other day that if he
had the chance he should vote for local
option in order to save the boys, who,
under our present law, are fast becom-
ing drunkards. Let us all take this
view of it, and join heart and hand to
save the fine young fellows "who are
the hope of our country" from becom-
ing worthless, miserable drunkards.

THE Legislature adjourned last week
after a two days session to Monday
evening of this, because there were
really no eggs in the nest for the incu-
baton process. Notice was given of
the intended introduction of new bills
but they will come in slowly until the
Inauguration of Gov. Stockley, Tuesday
10th, for there is a hesitancy on the
part of members to proceed in advance
of the Governor as he may declare
himself in his Inaugural. Then the
question of filling the offices must also
be disposed of before a clear track is
open for legislation pure and simple
The offices that are to be filled about
the same time are U. S. Senator, Audi
tor, Treasurer and Librarian.

tuai barrier against the further advance
OF the cold wave, and, in true Napole-
anlc fashion, had pierced the centre of
JACK Frost's advancing host. The cold
wave, greatly weakened, pursued it's
eastward course in two sections, but it's
power was gone. Immediately the
weather began to moderate in the
West, and so we escaped with slight
iireezing. How quickly the imagina-
tive anciepts would have built upon
the basis of these facts a splendid
myth, and perhaps some poet would
have described that elemental battle
over the lakes in verse for learned lin
gusts to scan with delight centuries
afterward.

THE cumbersome manner of our court
machinery has for long time been a
subject of remark by both lawyers and
the unfortunate yeomanry who have
been in weary days waiting on it. The
machinery is old and rickety, and badly
needs overhauling. The members of
the New Castle County Bar held
meeting last week in Wilmington, to
discuss needed amendments to the con-
stitution. The Wilmington Star thus
notes an interview of them on the sub
iect of judicial reform:
The lone judge system" is the most
in favor. By this a judge in each
county is provided for and the resident
Judge holds court, and sits alone in all
cases in the Supreme Court, the Court
of General Session of the Peace and
Jail Delivery, and the Court of Oyer
and Terminer at which capital cases
are tried. When an appeal is taken
the case will go to the Court of Errors
and Appeals, and the Judge before
whom the case was tried will not sit in
it, the bench being composed of the
chancellor, who is the presiding officer,
and the judges of the two other coun-
ties. Under this law the Office of Chief
Justice will be abolished, and all the
judgeships will be declared vacant to
be filled by the Governor when it goes
into operation. The members of the
bar are to a man opposed to having the
Judges elected thus bringing politics
into the judiciary, which has been free
from such influences for so many
years.
An effort will probably be made by
the members of the bar of New Castle
county to have the terms Of the Supe
ri0r Court made more frequent, bu
this will probably be unsuccessful, a.
it will no doubt be vigorously opposed
by the lawyers of Kent and Sussex
The objection raised to an increase il
the number of civil terms is that i
would tend to induce non-residen
creditors to send all their collection
business to Wilmington, because il
cases where they had book account
against parties living in the lowe
: counties they could come to the cour
here and get judgment very prompt.
while they might have to wait lOni
time in the lower county courts whicl
only meet twice year. It was thi
objection which prevented a claus
+ giving New Castle additional terms Q
court being incorporated in the bil
passed four years ago, providing 70
four sessions of the criminal court eac
year.

TEE Boss Reformer is Gen. B. F.
Butler. In his Inaugural Address as
Governor Of Massachusetts he fairly
took the breath of the blue blooded
aristocracy of the old commonwealth.
The catalogue is long one.
Its most ultra points are those that
relate to what Massachusetts takes
most pride in. 1t is declared to be
prominent as regards illiteracy. Its
educational system is declared to be
radically unsound. Large salaries to
ornamental teachers and small stipends
to the teachers of plain English result,
he declares, in a false and unsound
system of education. The trouble is it
is true. He makes an onslaught on
the officeholders that will make their
teeth chatter. One-third of them he
proposes to absolutely retire and re-
duce the salaries of the balance one
half All who have appointed relatives
TO Office he proposes to dismiss. He is
for woman suffrage, secret ballots, the
repeal of tax-paying as condition OF
the franchise. He would enforce tax
collections rigidly, but be is opposed to
making tax paying o privilege Of
voting. He would apply the death
penalty to railroad wrecking. He pro,
poses to reduce militia officers TO q
human level and will do many remark,
able things.
All this is Butlerian. That he ha.
the viii and ability to do illl he pro
poses, is well known. 1t will be inter
esting to notice the result, of such /
practical system of government. If i

The question of the Senatorship is

the difficulty of the opposition to Mr..

there was a continual process of strikes
