THE NuWS. THE WEATHER. Almost befor wo had time t recover from the shock of nerves and to thaw out from the congealment pro- duced by the cola snap of s woek ago another marked change and another visitalion of semi-polar tempera- ¢uro are upon us. The mild spell of the preceding three days was yesterday brought to a termination, the ther- Ymometer commencing w full slightly early in the morn- Jog, and gradually continuing its downward course, with Dut little upward inclination, throughout the day, Rill at seven o'clock in thy evening the mercury stood wt only twenty degrees above zero, This, though Bome fifteen degroes higher than the point at which it stood at the same hour on the preceding Sunday evening, was a figure sufficiently low for the comfort of most people. The sensitive fluid kept on descending during the night, and at midnight it marked mine degrees above zero, and at two o'clock this morning four degrees. Through the day and night, however, the sky was-cloudless, and, the alreoing pure, fresh and ‘crisp, the weathor was just such as the levers of outdoor exercise might wish and enjoy. The telegraph informs us of the same weather change in other parts of the country. The following table gives the standing and variations of the thermometer at the Herat office during Jast night and down to two o’clock this morning, com- pared with its indications on Sunday night, the 7th dnst. :— LAST NIGHT. i SUNDAY NIGHT, JAN. 7.

The encouraging fact is noticed in our Albany cor- respondence that our lawmakers there of the predomi- nant party havo given it to be understood that they intend to establish the claims of the present Legislature to a purer record than that of any which has precedod it for some years, So. far the members have confined ro revere <= RER 5 €: and enterprise that were to be expected: from tality extended to the Tunisian envoys in this country be KE A rather curieus fraud onthe Police Commissioners ‘was brought to light yesterday, in the arrest of one of the attaches of, the Chief, 'n office, who, it is alloged, has been selling appoint on the force for sums varying in amount from fifty to two hundred and fifty dollars in each case. The oxtont of the fraud has not been definitely ascertained; but the Commissioners are investigating it, and me~ be able to report in a fow days. It is stated that five of these bogus appointees have thus far been discoveréd. ‘The Surrogate has denied the application to remove the administratrix of Patrick Donnery, deceased. Tho ques- tion involved wasas to two alleged marriages of Mr. Donnery, and the decision of the Surrogate establishes that the administratrix was his lawful wife. She is, however, required to file additional security as adminis. tratrix. The bark Fredonia, Captain Burke, from Fayal, arrived at Boston yesterday morning, having on board two han- dred and seventy-three of the passengers and thirty-three of the crew of the British ship Gratitude, which vessel was abondoned at sen ina sinking condition on the 1st inst,, in latitude 41 30, longitude 53, After boing trans- ferred from the sinking ship to the bark Fredonia, all Lands had short rations issued to them, consisting of two biscuits and a half pint of water once every twenty-four hours, and in this manner they lived for eleven days, when their suffermgs in that line were ended by their fortunate arrival in Boston. The police early yesterday morning mado a sudden on- trance into a gambling establishment at No. 685 Broad way, of which John R.

By these and varions other devices there is aconsiderable faction in both houses laboring to prolong indefinitely the ex- clusion of the late rebel States from the national councils and their balance. of power from our national political elections. To defeat such designs as these the President’s vindication suggested in Mr. Raymond’s resolution will not suffice, though desirabje, in order to place him tight upon the record. ; What, then, is the true course of the republi- can conservatives in Congress necessary and sufficient to secure the early and complete success of President Johnson’s policy of resto- ration? It is the course which we recently indicated in our exposition of the comprehen- sive sweep of the great constitutional amend- ment abolishing slavery. They have only totake the ground that this amendment, in abolishing with slavery all the constitutional distinctions previously existing in regard to whites and blacks, places them, all over the country, upon a footing of constitutional equality; for in pro- claiming this fact they settle the whole busi- ness. The civil and political disabilities im- posed upon the blacks heretofore by the several States all depended upon the recognition and protection given by the constitution to African slavery as a State institution. Abolished in the supreme law of the land by the action of the States, all the distinctions of color depend- ing upon this institution go down with it. Here are the specifications: In the first arti- cle of the constitution we have the first recog- nition of slavery in the provision that the enu- meration of the people for Congressional rep- resentation shall comprehend “the whole num- ber of free persons, including those bound to service for a term of years, and excluding In- dians not taxed, three-fifths of all other per- sons,” meaning African slaves. They are now among the “free persons” above specified; for neither the word white nor the word black fs to be found in the constitution. Section 9, article 1, recognizes the African slave trade in for- bidding the prohibition, prior to the year 1808, of “the migration dr importation of such per- sons as any of the States now existing (1789) shall think proper to admit;” but this has long been a dead letter, and the African slave trade very successful, and the stock ran high. The officers of ‘these companies, becoming emboldened by the leniency ‘erith which they have been treated by the national gov- rament, recently published notices to the stockholders pof dividends declared and payable. Tho United States Pfreasury agents at once seized upon the officers of the wompanios, their books and assets, and, as appears by our Charleston correspondence, are energetically watch- ‘ing Uncle Sam's interest in the matter. Luter dates ‘from the same place state that the case has beon sent to ‘Washington for adjudication. Our Savannah correspondence is unusually interesting. ‘Tho negroes of that vicinity were very quiet and ordorly during the late holidays, when riotous conduct on their ‘Part was feared and predicted by many, especialiy the copperhead editors of the North, and they proved them- elves as law-abiding and orderly as any similarly situ- @ted and educated laboring class known in history. Our Correspondent gives some highly interesting particulars rogarding the erpys* in the Lamar cotton swindie at Sa- vannah, which will be found highly entertaining in con- nection with the similar expositions at Charleston, de- tails of whic we alto give tus morning. The telegraph announces that the Adjutant General of ‘Miss'ssippi has revoked his order for disarming the ne- groes of that State. A letter from General Sherman is published in the Alex- ‘andria (La.) Democrat, in which, after contradicting the impression that he was indebted to Bragg or Beaure- gard for his position at the head of the Louisiana Mili- tary Iustitute, before the war, and that when he resigned it and started Nor:h he promised not to fight against the Southerners, he says:—‘‘I wish the South well; and, if I have boon a scourge, then how much better that it was I than Ben Butler or some other of that sort."’ President Juares, of Mexico, was still undisturbed by the imperialists aud in the performance of his official duties at Chihuahua, his capital, as late as the 8th of De- bomber last, official intelligence to this effect having been received in Washington, though it was thought possible he mighi again temporarily leave, as a force of Maxi- milian’s trvops was on i's way thither, In a letter to a friend be says that his course in continuing, under the present disorganized condition of affairs, to exercise the functions of office Deyond the limite of bis constitutional term bas been approved by tue military officers and leading citizens of all the States frora which he had yet been able to hear.

For instance, let Congress provide for a special District election at an early day, under the existing local laws.
