dent at the next election. Republi
cans and all who will co-operate with
them in supporting the nominees of
the party, are Invited to choose two
delegates from each Congressional
district, four at large from each State,

A young man named John Ma
guire, alias William Love, a stone
cutter by trade, has been arrested at
Wetland Out., for a murder com
mitted in Pennsylvania seven years
ago. lie is supposed to belong to the
Mollie Maguier's gong. He will be
held until the United States authori
ties are heard from.
Frank Leslie left all his property
to his wife and has been commended
Tor this treatment to the woman who
did her equal share with him in ac
cumulating his fortune. But his sons
do not like this disposition and will
contest the will. Doubtless a very
disagreeable family quarrel will en
sue. Leslie had prospered of late
years and though Jie failed a few
years ago, had nearly paid ofF the
claims against his property. His pub
lications, it Is said, now net $1, 200 a
week profit.
Capt. Daily ordered his company
to kick up all the dust they could at
Vellow Tavern, Va., while out skir
mishing oiie day in liyi-l, wliie he
dashed into the camp of a Confederate
regiment and demanded its surrender.
The audacity of the plan nearly iu
Bured its success, for the Captain's de
mand was followed by a surrender of
the colors; but Col. llapgood, the
commander, came upon the ground in
time to send him back with a bullet
wound through his body. This is the
story that Daily tells in hisupplication
to Congress for a pension, and Hap
good corroborates iU
Toledo, Ohio, January 25. A
prize light oecured yesterday between
l'rot. Clark, of Cieviaiid, Ohio, and
Dick Murray, of New York, for $100 a
aide. The contestants, together with
a small party of their friends, went to
Dundee, Mich., and proceeded into
the woods, where a ring was formed
and at half-past ten o'clock A. M. the
battle was commenced. Twentv-nine
rounds were fought in one hour and
twelve minutes, when Clark was
ueciarea uic winner. .Murray was
roughly handled. There was no in
terruption to the right and it is not
thought that any arrests will be
made.
There are fifty-six Justices of the
Peace In New Haven, owing to the
fact that new ones are made at every
election and old ones continue in of
fice. The trials held before
them are farcial, according to the
Hartford Post, which says: "Nearly
every young member of the bar has
his favorite Justice, before whom he
brings all his suits, and it is expected
that the Justice will render decisions
favorable to his friend and legal pat
ron. In some cases there is a mutual
understanding whereby two lawyers
who are both Justices of the Peace,
interchanged the!.- favors for their
mutual benefit. The poor clients have
thus to depend upon appeals to the
higher courts in order to get fair
judgments."
Curious Weather.
The weather this winter seems to be
particularly mild, and many persons
never saw its equal. Jacob Grafius,
Esq., a well known citizen of this
place, says that in 1642, on the 17th
day of November, the river closed,
and on the 2;'d, six days later, teams
crossed on the ice. On the last day of
Peeemher the snow and ice hail all
disappeared, and beautiful weather
prevailed all through January, lsl:l.
Fanners went to plowing, and the
river was so low anil clear that Mr.
Grafius went salmon fishing. Winter
net in again about the lirst day of
February, and on the last day of
March there were two feet of snow on
the ground. The weather remained
so cold that teams crossed the river on
the ice us late as the 7th day of April.
Mr. Grafius remembers all these
dates and circumstances very dis
tinctly. Lumbermen should not des
pair, as this winter seems to bo a
counterpart of that of Hi. It was on
the last day of December last that the
Jce left the river, and the indications
are good for cold weather. Lock Ha

Washington Letter.
From our regular Correspondent.)
Washington, I). C. Jan. 24, 1880,
The Woman's National Suffrage
Convention has been In full blast here
since the 21st, and presents a greater
array of feminine talent than any of
Its predecessors. Miss Susan R An
thony Is the presiding officer, and she
performs her duty with the utmost
self-possession, and apparent fullest
knowledge of parliamentary law and
the responsibilities of her position
She seems horn to command and to
preside. Every angularity of "her
physiognomy, form and character
und no single point seems rounded
with an atom of the line of beauty and
symmetry displays that force and de
cision of mind requisite to enable the
control and dcrection of others, while
her tongue moves as rapidly and in
cisively as that of Katharina before
Petruchio tamed her belligerency
Our Mrs. Sarah Spencer is the sec-re-
ury, and though she lacks Miss An
thony's angularity, for she is hand
some and graceful, yet she has a vim
and intellect that fits her also for
leadership, which she never hesitates
to assume whenever Congressional
committees are to be addressed, or
bodies of men harrangued. Mesdames
Gage, Stanton, and a score of other
prominent sufirage advocates are
among the delegates, and as Misses
Phoebe Cozzens, Devereux, and other
talented spinsters, assist in the pow
wow your readers can readily appreci
ate that the wondrous suffrage ques
tion is being ably and fully handled.
They promise us, as in the past con
vention, the milleiilmu whenever
granted the ballot throng); their de
sired Constitutional amendment. Not
a speaker but has told us that, given
the right to vote, women would put
down the infamous national traffic in
whisky, and reform all the evils in
ccdent to our political institutions.
Observation in Wyoming Territory,
where women vote unrestrictedly, has
rendered us perfectly skeptical upon
all these assumptions. Rut the fact
remains that no convention, of either
sex, ever assembled in Washington,
which exhibited more talent and gen
eral ability than this one.
The inevitable Dr. Mary Walker, of
course, appears, but on the background
for her sisters will not admit her to
full equality, owing to her extreme
radical views upon- dress and society
usages. Dr. Mary has assumed full
male attire, even to wearing shortened
hair, a natty little cane and a gentle
man's hat. Beyond all this eccentrici
ty is the fact that she, in contrast
with Mrs. Stanton,. Miss Anthony, or
our learned Mrs. Judge Lockwood, is
destitute of brains or even ordinary
feminine wit or shrewdness; hence it is
not surprising that she is elbowed to
the rear, or, as last year, when she
forced herself upon the stage among
the delegates, is hustled ofF as an un
warranted intruder. That these pre
sistent advocates ol'.sull'rage are work
ing successfully toward the accom
plishment of their aims, no observing
person can entertain a doubt. Six
years ago siimly attended meetings,
and tlie ridicule and sneer of roughs
met them here. Now Lincoln Hall
will not hold tlie crowd of .well-dressed
and mannered people that attempt to
get seats every session, morning, after
noon and night, and who treat tlie
speakers with deep and respectful at
tention, no matter what direction
their remarks may take. It docs seem
that optimists like ourselves will soon
have to accept the situation, and fall
back on our philosophy that "What
ever is, is right"
Since New Years our weather has
been magnificent. Tlie occasional
rain storm has not obscured the bril
liant sunshine more than a day at the
time, ami our fashionable soViety lias
had, as a consequence, fullest opportu
nity for holding und attending levees
and receptions. No winter for years
lias presented a more brilliant round of
fashion and display than this. Our
streets are daily thronged with equip
ages containing callers and visitors,
who are evidently improving the
opportunities prior lo Lent which
ends our season of pleasure and gay
ity. Etiquette has portioned oil" tlie
days of tlie week to tlie various clas-
ses ot society and gives the order of
precedence as follows: The President's
wife is pre-eminent. All other ladies
must call upon her, and that without
having the call returned. Saturday
afternoon is assigned to her, though
she holds informal receptions all other
nights of the week, except Sunday.
Next in order rome the ladies of the
Cabinet, who take Wednesday after
noons, t hen the Supreme Court ladies
who nave Mondays. The wives of
Foreign Ministers take Friday, and
those of the (jeneral of the Army and
Admiral of the Navy, Tuesdays. By
thus, apportioning tlie week mining
themselves, there is no eo!li-ion, and
each lady can call as well receive.
Light refreshments tire always served,
excepting at tlie White House, where
the custom was abolished during Mrs.
Madison's reign as mistress. At one
of her most brilliant receptions' a
party of roughs attended, and, seizing
the tables niiiironriated the refresh
ments, which led to their abolishment
as u part of tlie White House levee.
So onerous and exacting Is our custom
of culling, that Lent is bailed with
joy ami gladness by most of our fash
ionable Indies, for it ends the absurd
burden of receiving hundreds of peo
ple one lias never before seen or met
socially, and yet whose call must be
returned to the extent, ut least, of
leaving a card.- The most elegant
receptions of the scastui are given by
the families of wealthy Representa
tives who pride themselves, apimr
ently, on excelling in display, at least
those more favored with the accident
of higher oe';il rank, '
A Mild Winter.
(riilln. Weekly Vrexn.
That repository of meteorological
Information, "The oldest inhabitant,"
has not been consulted about the Very
remarkable weather which has pre
vailed during the present winter, so
that we cannot nftirni that it Is un
precedented; but the records kept by
the observer at the United States Sig
nal Ofllce In this city show that there
has been no such a season since the
founding of tlie Weather Bureau in
1870. Twenty years ago (lH-V.uiO) the
lirst two months of winter were ex
ceedingly mild, hut we have not the
figures at hand to compare the mean
temperature with the corresponding
period of 1870 80. Since 1870 an ac
curate record of the mean tempera
ture of each day of the year bus been
kept, trtid any dispute about the mild
ness or severity of tlie season, as com
pared with uny previous one within
tlie last ten yeurs can be easily settled
by referring to the ofllcial figures.
i nc iiionin or January, itwo, was
tlie coldest of which the Signal Ofllce
has any record. The mean tempera
ture for the whole month was 2i.
nearly six degrees below the freezing
point. Last winter was considered a
very severe one, and the ferry boats
on die Delaware were more or less im
peded by the ice during the entire
month of January, but tlie mean tem
perature for the month was 3.8 degrees
iiiuber than for corresponding month
of 187'). When the temperature goes
down to 2'), ice forms rapidly, and if
it keeps down for three or four days
there is a hard freeze, the oilect of
which is seen for many days. This
was tlie case during t lie first week in
January last year, when the mercury
went down at night to three or four
degrees below zero. Die Illicit ice
which was formed them remained for
a' long time, and mounds of frozen
mud and snow remained in the streets
during the greater part of the winter
monuments of tlie cold spell in which
they had their origin.
During last December (1870) the
mean 'temperature was 38.8, being
nearly seven degrees above the freez
ing point. Tlie mercury went down lo
11 on the 27th, but the uveraue for tho
mouth is unusually high, and on tliu
4th und the llth tlie summer tempera
ture of (il degrees was reached. The
mean temperature of the correspond
ing month of 1878 was iM.o, being 4.3
degrees lower than in 1870. If it had
not been for tlie little cold spell just
before the holidays, which cut down
tlie general average, December could
scarcely have been rated a winter
month, if the classification depended
on the temperature. Tlie record for
January is still more extraordinary.
L i) to date the mean temperature ol
the month has been 40.U, being 8.(1
degrees above the freezing poin'..
During live days of the present week
the mean temperature has been 44.0.
This record has no parallel in the
tables kept by the United States Sig
nal Ollice, but, as we have already
stated . they only go back to hs70.
There has been no day when the
mean temperature reached the freez
ing point, and on last Tuesday it was
5U o.
Comparing these figures with the
records of the same mouth for eigiit
previous years, we find that the mean
temperature for tlie present was 4 j
degrees higher than during January,
1S71, and 14.5 degrees higher than
during January, 187-3. The record for
Januaiy since 1871 is as follows: 1871,
;l'.7; 1S7J, J'J.i; l?7o, :s.J: 1874, M.7;
1870, 2(5.1; 1&7G, M0.7; 1S77, 28.4; lu78,
; l.ST'.J, 2'i.'.i; 10, up to the 2:jd
inst., 40 0. In many respects this ex
ceedingly mild weatlier has been
highly advantageous to the country.
The principal manufacturing indus
tries are in active operation, and have
not been impeded by ice or froot.
Out-door work has gone on with al
most as little interruption as is ex
pcricuced in the summer months;
while ilia poor have escaped tlie
privations and suili-rings which a
severe winter always brings.
