THE COLFAX DEMONSTRATION. The speech of Ar. Colfax at South Bend, on Saturday, sheds no new light upon the personal difficulties in which he has become involved. Tho parade, procession, and the dramatio display of confidence in him by the peoplo as- sombled in Sountt Bend, gave no additional weight to his speach. * All theso will probably be rivaled by the popular demonstration prepar- ing at North Easton, Mass., fo wolcome Mr. Oskes Ames to the arms of a confiding con- stituency. If the poople of South Bend bhave undiminished confidence in Colfax, tho people of North Easton only admire their Oakes Ames the more becauso of the ordeal through which ho has pussed 50 triumphantly. Ames and Colfex, therefore, representing two opposing sidos of a sworn statement, have not lost the confidence of their neighbors in the matter of véracity. Mr. Colfax's speech was a vast cumulation of words. In his two hours’ harangue he said nothing new—but floundered heavwily throngh continual repetitions. Thoe point he tried to impress upon- his hearers was that thore had been s gigantio national conspiracy to destroy him, sand that despite this conspiracy ho had come home to them in as honorabla plight ns ever; and he claimed the sympathy duetos martyr for trath’s sake. Complaining, he said, #1f I had been & confessed and wickod criminal, I could not have been pursued with moro malig- nity bya portion of the American press and their Washington correspondents.” Assuming this to be true, which it is not, Mr. Colfax overlooks the reason why the Amorican press (the portion which sides with him is too small to be discover- ed with anything but microscope), has lost ~| faithin any ststoments made by him. During tho summer of 1873, there were published in all the papers of the country the now famons letters of Oakes Amesto A'Comb, with the list of persons with whom Ames said he had placed Credit Mobilier stock. In that list ap- peared the neme of *B. Colfax, Speaker.” We can call to mind no paper that did not publish this implication of Mr. Colfax with regret, but it was not possible to omit his name while pub- lishing the others. The statement of Amos was bold and emphatic, and repeated in two letters. The pross naturally expected a disclaimer or & denial, by the porsons namod, of Ames’ state- ments. It wes not made. Mr. Blaine denied it in the first week in Boptember. It wasnot until Sept. 25 that Mr. Colfax was heard from,in his speech of thnt day at South Bend. In that speech he was_ particularly careful to avoid s challenge to Oakes Ames, was rather compli- mentary to the great shovel-maker, but was as particular to denounce the newspaper press for huying published Ames' letter with his name in the list. At that time the only sllegation sgainst Mr. Colfax was that contained in the Ames lettors, and this was, that he, Oalkes Ames, had in the distribution of Credit Mobilier shares among Senators and Representa- tives in Congress, placed £2,000 thereof in the CDNTEN‘I"S OF TO-DAY'S TRIBUNE.

Pregident Grant writes an affectionate Jettor to Mr. Colfax, intended for publication, in +which ho aseures the lato Vice President of his eympathy and bis unshaken belief in his inno- conce, his integrity, and his patriotism. The Democrats of Cincinpati reassembled on Baturday to consider the request of the Liberals, witn whom they had made & fusion ticket, that they would recopsider theirnomination for May- or. They reafirmed that nomination, threw gside the joint ticket they bad made with the ZLibersls, and in its place put 8 straight Demo- cratic ticket in the fleld. hands of Schugler Colfax, Speaker. That was President Thiers has again fallen ill, and the | the whole allagation. fears aronsed by his recent indisposition are | . Mr. Colfax, at South Bend, began his speech redonbled. Loss of sleep and increasing weak- | by saying: Letmo detain you a few moments, my townsmen, ‘while I touch a fabric of falschood with the spearof truth, exposing the so-called Credit Mobilier scandal, ihat you may see ont of what worthless stuff campaign chnrges are manufactured. He then told of his long and active support of the Pacific Railroad, of his speeches and lec- tures, declaring that it was not necessary to have offered him & bribe to secure his support, and then added : Do Ineed to add that neither Oakes Ames nor any other person ever gave, or offered to give, me ono sbare, or twenty shares, or two thousand shares in tho Cradit Mobiller, or any other railroad etock, and that, ‘unfortunately, I have never receivod the value of a farthing out of the 270 per cent dividends, nor the 800 per cept dividends in cash, stock, and bonds you have Tead about every day for the past month, nor 100 per cent, nor 1 per cent, nor tho tenth of 1 per cent. I have eaid that if twenty shares of it could be purchased at par, without buying into » prospective laweult, it would bo n good investment, If it was 5s valusble 5 stock a8 represented, sud I have said that I would like to buy twenty shares at par, if sttainable, in the Studsbaker Wagon Company, or tho Birdsell Clover Separator Company here, I challenge cither one of the {wo last Companies fo give me such an opportunity now or hereafter; but pever having been plaintiff or defendsnt in & court of justice, I want no stock of any kind, at any price, with a lawsuit on fop of it, not eyen with (he prospoctive dividends of $22,000, which, I am frec to mainlain, peither these g0od exen of mine nor this pocketbook have ever seen the firat dollar of, although it s 80 positively asserted st Thave been entitlod fo this bandsoms pmount ever since four years 5go, Accepting that as o fair, squaro doniel of Otkes Ames’ pllegation, precisely as Mr, Blaine's wos accopted, tho newspaper press generally, and especially the Reppblican prees, acquitted 3Mr. Colfax. Could any person who read that speech then, have tholeast thoughtthat Ar. Colfax had'recefved from Mr. Oakes Ames $2,000 of Credit Mobilicr stock; that at the time of receiving it there were credits on it in tho wey of dividends, amounting to $1,438; thnt Mr. Colfax had paid Mr. Ames the differenco of 8542, or thereabouts, in cashi? Yot 3Ir. Colfax, at Washington, in January, 1878, did, on oath, state that he had made this contract with Ames, 2nd had paid Amos the money. The newspaper press, which Mr. Colfax says now pursue him, aro the same papers that, in September last, ac- cepted his Sonth Bend speechas & bold and manly denial of having over had any dealings with Oskes Ames in Credit Mobilier stock,~that be- ing the falsehood which he was supposed to have touched with the spear of truth. When the newspaper pross, and the country genorally, wore told by Mr. Colfsx, in Janaary, that ho had never intended in his South Bend speech todeny having purchased Credit Mobilior stock' from Onkes Ames ; that all he intended was to deny ihat such stock hed been ¢ given" him, the press, and the country generally, lost faith in Colfax's veracity, snd could not help regarding Lim s » prevaricator; ns having suggested falsehood and suppressed tho trath. He had deceived them into a misunderstanding of his connaction with Oskes Ames in Credit Mobilier stocls, while he was Speaker of the House of Ropresentatives, and doceived them by ki Lis transaction under the word *give,” when, in fact, it was a guft to the extent of the accrued dividends then due on the stock, and for which 1o was credited, when he paid Ames the residao of the money. There is no act #o calcnlated to lower & man in the estimation of his friends as prevarication, and there are no circumstances nnder which ‘human friendship will change to resentment so quickly as when fnen find that one whom they have been defending has been cheating them | with a quibble, covering ie, and covering - the ness are his symptoms, which in oneso ad- vanced in age are the more serioua from the fact that he has no apecific malady to which thoy can bo attributed. They foreshadow the spproaching dissolution of the life that is price- «ess to France at this crisis. Auy hopes that Congressmen would fail, throngh & faulty wording of the Appropriation Dill, to get the increased salary they voted them- selves, must be sbandoned. Comptroller Tay- lor withheld psyment until he had, as 1t was his duty to do; considered the whole Appropriation bill, but finds no defect in the Iaw, and will send the Sergeant-at-Arms, to-day, A draft of €1,600,000, which will be distributed to the mem- bers. ‘The Senate Republican Caucus has determined sthat the Senate shall not, at this session, con- sider the credentials of the two Senators from Louisisna. To do so, they ny, wonld reopen the whole Loufsisna question, and inauguratean eudless debate. They hope that if the Kellogg yoke is held down upon the necks of the people long enough, they will get used to it. The Presidént is reported yery anxions to bere- leased from his troublesome situstion by some compromise between tho two factions. ‘The Modoc war is stilla war of words. Friday evoning, Capt. Jack sont his sistor to the Peaco Commissioners to accept the torms they of- fered. Word was retarned by Gen. Canby that his troops would move at once npon the Indians unless Ceoptein Jack or some of Ius chiefs rarrendered in person within twenty-four hours. This peremptory summons has bronght Capt, Jack to terms, and he announces that he and his bend will lesve the lova bed to-dsy, and sur- sender themselves to our troop! The Committeo appointed the other day by the Farmers’ Club of the Legislature to super- vise end promote railway logislation has accopted = bill prepared by tho Attorney General, which makes it prims facie evidence of unjust discrimi- netion for a railroad to charge varying rates for freight for equal distances. The bill making it s criminal offense for any official to charge pes- gengers more than legal fare has passed to ® second resding in the House. There is danger, our correspondent states, that, with el the multiplicity of measures proposed to regulato fares and froights and forco en observance of tho law upon railroad corpora~ tions, nothing msy be accomplished, owing to the distrust of the regular railroad committees which has arisen among the agricultural repre- eentatives in the Legislature, and the collision between their efforts and those of the Extra~ Legialative Farmers' Club Committee.

Rye was guiet and The leading journals that supported Grant and Colfax and Grant and Wilson, bave resented the cheat put on them by Colfax in his South Bend speechs, and, taking Lis sworn confession that he never intended in that spcech to deny dealings nith Ames in Credit Mobilior stock, thoy bave treated him a8 any other prevaricator, giving all the presumptions to his adversary, Ames, and Gociding all doubtful points against Limself. Mr. Colfax, in his speech of Eatarday, at- tempts some mora quibbling, by citations of de~ tached eentences from Tue Crricaco TRIBUNE in Septomber last, to show that we did not then undorstand him as denying that ho had been dealing in Credit Mobilier stock with Ames. It amonnts to nothing more than this, that wo found Mr. Colfax claiming the right to purchasze Cradit Mobilier stock, but denying virtually that bo hed done so. We contended against his right, while Speaker of the House, to dabble in that stock, not supposing that Lo had sctually doneso. We saccepted ihat speech as a denial, broad and emphatic, aud so treated it until Col- fax himself, beforo the Committee, showed that it was a cheat, n play upon words, and, as the Indianapolis Journal declares, *n prevarica~ tion.” The South Denders, or those who participated in the ovation, have advertised themselves eithor as igunoraut persons, unable to judge of the value of testimony, or as thoso possessing no valuable standard of moral measurement. LIBERALS AND DEMOCRATS, : We print elsowhere & good-tempered article from the Carlinville (L) Enguirer (Demo- cratic), commenting upon a recent article in Tre Crrcaco TaIsuNe with regard to the future of the Liberal party. The burden of the En- quirer’s reply is to the effect that Democrats cannot abandon their party to join the Liberals, and that whatever the latter hope to accomplish must be done by recognizing the Democratic or- ganization, if they expect any help from Demo- crats. The Enquirer says: “Tho proicipal ob- Joction which theso Liboral Republicans, as given by Toe Trmuse, have to the Democratio party, is its position during the war. We thought they hed turned their backs upon the past, and were desirous of forgetting the past Fears of strife.” So they have. But it doos not follow that the record which tho Democratic party made at that time is such as to commend it to popular confidence. Our beliof is that the Republican party will hold togother and be vic- torious, howover rotten it may be, so long as the Democratic party holds together—and no Longer. A general statoment of what is necessary to tho success of the Liboral party will answer our parposes better, howover, than a reply in detail to the Enquirer. The necessity for a reform 1n the Administration of tho Government, which ‘was made the basis of the Liberal movement at Cincinnati last yesr, is no longer a matter of political theory but a demonstrated fact. The abuses and corruptions which were charged in tho Cincinnati indictment bhave beon clearly proven in tho Congressional investigations of the Credit- Mobilier, the Louisiana usurpation, the Pomeroy and Caldwell election frauds, and numerouns lesser corruptions, North and South. None of these Dbave been punished. TheRepublican party has, therofore, shown itself either unwilling or un- able to correct abuses, and is, therefore, no longer worthyto be entrusted with tho fanctions of the Government. The Democratic party, by ita record on the slavery question, in the war of tho rebellion, and in the corruptions of Tam- ‘many, has put itself in such a position that the people will not trust it, as has been shown over* and over again. This does not necessarily im- ply animosity against individual members of tho Democratic party, as the Enguirer infors. 1t being improper for the Ropublican patty, and impossible for the Democratic party, to adminis- ter the Government at all, and impossible for the Republican party to adminiaterit in the in. terests of honesty, economy and justico, that duty must devolve upon soms other party sooner orlater. In order to accomplish this result, the new party must be s unit. It mustbo united, compaet, with 5 singlo organization, with all its powers inheriog in itself. The experiences of Iest November show what utter folly it is to ex- pect that 2 double organization, working by dif- Jeront machinery, can accomplish anything. The party must pall together in one barness. This is a frce country, pnd there is no Iaw probibiting Democrats apd Republicans from remaining in their respecitve parties, hut a8 long ag they do 80, they do not belong to the Liberal party, and cannot work with it. The folly of & double organization, working under all sorts of leaders, without & common agree- ment, and with the ideas of the old parties still clinging to them, cannot ngain be repeated. The Liberal party must be’ composed of the honest men of both the Republican and Demo- cratic parties, uniting for the common good in one party, under one name, oné creed, and one leadership, aud under no other condition is success poceible, cithor immediately -or re- motely. ] AN ENGLISH DEMAGOGUE. A recent libol Buit before the Court of Quesn'’s Banch has given the public an inside view of Mr. Georgo Odger, $he prominent leader of tho Eng- lish Republicans, who bas figured in all tho re- cent Republican demonstrations in London and the provinces, sy well ag in Parlismeat, from which Las grown a very goneral impression favorable to his abilities and {ufluence as a pol- itician. In fact, the world has como to class George Odger in the same rank with Mazzini, Garibaldi, Castelar, and other celebrated Eu- ropean Repubjicans, whoreas, from Lis own tes- timony, ho sppears as g yery mediocro individual of tha George Francis Trafn sfyle, who is scoking after seosations ratler then reforms, has considerable native humor without much sense, and is, in general, 4 publicnaisancs, The fuote copcerning Mr. Odger and his life have come out in thissuit, which ho instituted against the Figaro, a lively weelly paper published in London and edited by s Mr. Mortinier, an Amer- can, who has & mania for getting into Libelsuits, which, thus far, have proved an excellent adver- tising medium for his paper, and have very con- siderably bettered its financial resources, Some months ago, during the agitation about tho right of public meetings in the parks, at & meeting held in Hyde Park, Odger burned s copy of tho Park bill, whereupon Figaro mado an attack upon him, suying, amongst other things : Odger victorious, Enow all men by these presents “that Odger, the cobblar, rules the Government of Eng- very misconduct they so strenuously denied.- land. We have, ero now, made sport of the great man; hénceforth we shall ba - zespectful. We do not like the cobbler—sre abhor his principles; weregard him a8 s enems to order; we hold him to be a demagognaof the lowest and most contemptible type, half booby and Dalf humbug, a political chesp-jack, who would bea political sharper if he had brains enough. + But Odger, the cobbler, rules the Government of Eng~ land, and, howaver much we' may despise the cob- bler, we acknowledge the de facto ruling power of the country. Odger opposed the Parks Reg- ulsion blll; he beld Sunday demonstrations in Hyde Park: be defied Parliament and the Governmant ; he publicly burnt the bill ; he declared that If the bill became law he would break the law ; ho threatened an unprecedented demonstration and civit Giscord, . . . , What may be Odger’s next fancy itis impossible to guess ; perlaps De may assert’ the right of the Odgerites to refresh themseves in Weat End pantrles and wine-cellars, or be may demend the immediato releass of all convicts who are 80 nearly connected with that scetion of the people which Odger, tha cobbler, commands, Somp day society will havo fo make ehort work of tha Odgerites, and stamp ther: out, 38 we did the cattle plaguo. At present, Odgoer is supreme and triumphant, and Odgerism may wark incalculatle mischief before an opportunity occura of putiing an cud to it with grapo and bullet, This was more than tho noblo soul of Odger could brook, and be accardingly brought suit sgainst tho Figaro for livel. Tho ples was not guilty and justification, and Mr. Odger ‘was Mr. Odger's only witness. His cross-oxamination furnished - & ‘very completo’ picturs of tho great English Republican leader. He conféssed that hio wes a shoomalker and made boots at his own house, and that ho lived partly by this and paztly by his writings and lectures, sud that his loctures were on such subjects as the “Irish Church " andthe*‘Extension of the Suffrage,” and the “English’ Cburch,” and “Class Govern- ment.” He also expounded his views ab consid’ erapls length. He was opposed to middle~class and aristocratio: government, to the House of Lords, the Houmse of Commons, and the monarchy, and in favor of the nationaliza- tion of Jand. He oxpressed his belief that mon- archy niad led to seriesof uunatural marriages, and that, a8 a probable consequence, England would soon have a race of royal idiots, and that the country was taxed for the maintenance of a mere puppet. He closed his testimony by re= forring with some pride to the fact that an Odger testimonial fund had been raised, and that a statue of him, as he appeared burning tho Parks bill, with the inscription, “To the ‘founder of the British Republic—0dger, shoe- maker and patriot,” was talked of among his friends. Tho idea advanced by the Figaro, that he and his friends intended to break into West End pantries soon, he indignantly scouted. The jury sfter deliberating over the matter for two hours wero unable toagree and were_ discharged, and thia endod the caso of Odger ts. Figaro. From Odger's own evidence he wonld sppear to be a very couceited sort of individual with an ignorant hostility against everything aristocratic, and a profound belief in everything plebeian,us ropresented by Odger, either of which beliefs are liable to lead Mr. Odger into very silly displays, but notinto anything very dau- gerous or ftreasomable. In this country he would make an excellent counterpart of Train, Danicl Pratt, and Colorado Jewett. If English royaltyhas nothing more dangerons to fear than Odger, it bids fair to live undisturhed for a long time to come. e——— “ROT MUCH OF A SHOWER.” The Republican parfy is just now in the attitude of the incredulous .chap iun the time of the Deluge who disdained an umbrella aud thought ‘it wasn't going to be much of shower after all.” Most of the leaders and mauy of the newspapers have determined to brazen 1t ont. There was a timo, 8 faw weoks ago, when the developments in Credit Mobilier and other Congressional corruption were coming to the surface day by day, that brought terror to their hearts and whitoned their cheeks. There was anxioty among the honest members of tho party to save thomselves ; a willingness on the part of their press tocoriceds the existence of corruption end the necessity for eradicating it: o de- mand among the rank and file for a thorough cleansing process. All this has changed. Con- gressional bribery, legislative bribery, judicial bribery have an enitirely differont aspect in the light of the official verdict from what they pre- sented when the sworn evidence was submitted. The firat concession was found in the Poland Committee. _Their report offered a hinge for Congress to overturn the whole edifice that had beon erected by proof. The Credit Mobilier Congressmen - duly whitewasled, the same pro- cess was applied to ll others who had been con- victed of taking or of giving bribes. Then; that there might be no doubt of the 'party policy to put on- a. bold face, Congross proceeded to raise the salaries of its members, and go proclsimed to tho world that they had beon virtuous enough to warrant them in appropriating for themselves 80 addi~ tional roward. The party newspapers were quick to take their cue. The pot-house politicians and ward-bummers follow closely in the rear, and #wing their littlo whips over the rank and file, It is impossible not to regard Mr. Colfax’s reception at South Bend ss & promingnt fonture of this programme. Great posters were distrib~ uted throughout the country ; brass bands wero employed to drum up the people ; petitions wera clrculated with one hand while the party lash was flourished in the other; the retiring Vice- Prosident was duly consulted, and came forward with & yritten and elaborato reply to what waa to pass for & spontaneous Welcome. Bat it s not penough fo herald Colfax sa tho martyr of persocution: Qakes Amesmust be justified as well. Nob one of the guilty must be permitted to rest under the aspersion, It must not be conceded that corruption i even ‘posaible within the sscred drecinct of the party. Accordlingly, we have the announcoment from Boston that Qakes Ames will havo g complimen- tary reception st his home in North Easton, Mass. There ia no resson to doubt that his wel- come will be 58 hearty, a5 spontaneous, &s gen- eral, and a8 enthysjsstic as that of Mr. Colfax at South Bend, however sntsgonjstic the oaths of tho two martyrs may be. Whoss twrn comes next? Isittobe Patterson or Pomeroy, Darell orSherman? Isthe same popplar indorsement to ba oxtonded to all who have been suspocted, or to those alone who have been proved guilty? ‘Aro Scofield, Bingham, Kalley, and Garfield to bo neglectad because their offense 18 less than +| tuat of Amessod Qolfay? Cannot the Demo- cratio party got up & demonstraticn for poor Brooka? . Tho justification isto be genoral, Even Nast has beon found, ss a rosult of the expedition which Mr Watterson, of the Louisville Courier- Journal, gent sfter him. He was buried in forced retirement while ths evidonce was pour- ing in. His arm was palsied and hjs pencif gn. sharpened when he could bave pictured Oakes Amos and Colfax, Pomeroy and York, Braoks and Wilson, and the thousgnd and one striking incidents of the winter’s inveetigation, But the “Journal of Ciilization” has produced him again in its work of justifyiny the party by throwing dirt at thoss who bad the audacity to bring charges againet its most virtuous Sundsy School teachers and temperancs agitators, Al aro to be sustained,—the, Credi Mobilier Con- gressmen ; the bogus Kellogg Givernment; the United States Judge who creabd it, and the President who sustaing it by ‘orce of arms ; Pomeroy and Caldwell, who 8B convicted - of bribing Legislatures for Semtorial places; Judge Bherman, whe geta dwn from the United States bench to sct as the paid lobbyist of a ring of brokers ; Clayton, Spencer, and the carpot-baggers generally. It is not tobe con- ceded, by hook or Ly crook, that corruption Das ever tainted the Republican party. -The programme thus proclaimed is an evi- denco of the desperate condition to “which the party has been reduced. It is sink or swim, live or dio, survive or perish. There is no middle ground to be taken. Thero is no healtbful or saving oloment which is strong enough to sus- tain the body after the rotten limbs are lopped off. Corruption has sct in so deep that the party doctors do not daro to take a knife and cutitout. The case is as hopeless in politics as it would bo in physics. The Republican party has assumed the guilt of certain individual mem- bers, and it must abide by the consequences. The Thomas Statac, The O ommitleo of the Society of the Army of ihe Cumberlend, on the design and location of the Thomas cquestrion statue, recently held a moeting at Washington, aud their action is now ‘before us, in the shape of & circular, which is in- tended for tho consideration of sculptors. It in- vites all artists to submit to the Committee, at Pittsburgh, Pa.,, on tho18th day of September next,—the day proceding tho annual meeting of the Bociety,—models and specifications of tho statue and podestal, together with estimates of cost, and & proposal . in writing of the price for which they will coutract to complote the work. Ths only suggestions made by the Committeo are that thestatne must be cquestrian andof bronze, surmounting a granito pedestal, and they ndd : *“ It should be as perfect a likencss as may be, of 'Gen. George H. Thomss, symbolizing in’ form and feature the imperturbable, resolute and invincible commander and the kindly-hearted Christian gentloman, without fear and without reproach. The horse should combine all the litheness and beauty of the racer, with tho strength and weight of the hunter. The Com- mittee are Jeff C. Davis, U. $. A.; S. W. Prico, ZLexington, Ky.; W. D. Whipple, U. S. A., Wash- ington, D. C.; Theodore L. Brown, Chicago, and Honry M. Duflield, Detroit. Western sculp- tors who desire to furnish models for the con- sideration of tho Committes, should signify such intention, at as early & day as practicable, to eithier of the last two gentlemen of the Commit- tee, as named above. The statue will be located in the public grounds at Washington, and both in the mattor of the subject and its public loca~ tion, it is worthy the best and most artistic offorts of American sculptors. We have no doubt that the models will have to pass upon their merits ; at least, it is to be hoped such will bo the case, and that favoritism will not be al- lowed to influenco the decision. If there is any merit in Western art let it bo shown in the mod- els for this statue of one of the most gallant Generals and accomplished gontlemen tn Ameri~ can history, —— Whether & man may marry his decessed wifo's sister without drawing down upon him the exo- crations of good society, and the ban of the law against his offspring, is again the subject of agitation 1 Great Britain. The question has come up before the House of Commons on sixty- six different occasions. Six timos has it been passed, and as many times boen rejected by the House of Lords. Itis a wonder that a com- promise has not been reached on a basis which this division suggests,—passing o law by which the Commons may marry their sisters-in-law if they wish, though tho Lords shall be shielded agninst 80 plebeisn an orror. However, the mat- ter hias come before Parliament again, and it is supposed that it will b disposed of s hereto- fore. A society has been started with the ex- press purposs of advancing the desired legisla- tion, and it is suggested by a wicked corres- pondent that the movement is becoming tho more popular as it bas .the advantage of only one mother-in-law. The opposition to the bill may be understood by the declaration of a sapient member of tho House of Lords fow days 0go. *Why,”ho oxclaimed, “ They will next want to marry their aunts1” The class which this gentleman repre- sents probably contemplatos with horror the time when Englishmen sball pay eonrt to their great-grandmothers and all the ancestors on tho side of a deceased wife. The oxistence of the présent British law, which is s tradition of Papacy, is & curious contrast with tho Jowish law, which required that a widow must first bo rofused by her deceased husband's brother before she could marry onteide of the family. What is the matter with the elements this year? They soem to bo all out of gear, running wild, without system, regularity, consistency, or docency. Is it because the earth's crust is growing colder, because the sun has not changed ita spots, or becauso the sun hasn't any spots ? The present winter began in the early part of November, and threatens never to leave off. It bas spread all over the face of the globe, except Cairo, in Egypt, whero 3Mme.

Now, I Lave taken some paing, of late, to post myself in rogard to that matter, and I learn, from reliable data, the fol- lowing facts: There aro in the Normal Department 116 pu- pils in attendance, with ages 1anging from 18 to $35eara. Intho Proparatory Department thero &te 35; and, in the Training and Model Depart- ments, 120 more, . The school was established in 1867, but it has enjoyed its present facilities only about two and s half years. Tho entiro number of stadents entared, to the present; time, is 403, all of whom, on entering, gave pledges for teaching. Ninety. five of these have completed a fall course and graduated, and 57 more have gone forth to teach after receiving more or less instruction and training.
