California Weather.: The Walworth'County Independent published at Elkhorn, Wiseonsin, bas the folowing comparison of.the + climate of that State with our ‘own: “What to us is a season. of intense -eold, is in California a time of rain} which is of as vital necessity to them for the growth of their grain crops as the spring showers are to us in Wisconsin. Our ~deadseason ~is winter; with the-—Californians it is midsummer. Our non-productive season is caused by intense: cold; theirs by intense heat and drouth. This. winter California has been subjected to a drouth, the like of which it is said was never experienced be.fore. The grain crops were seriously threatened: but our latest in—formation-is-that-quite recently the ‘country pas been favored with copious showers of rain.”’ Wf the editor of the Independent eh . “could see the. growing crops, vines, svason, he would not think of comparing it with the dreary wastes of Wisconsinwhen the surface of the country is buried under a deep covering of snow, with the thermometer ranging from twedty to forty degrees below zero. It is true that our ‘winters are like the-midsummers of Wisconsin; but our summers are seasons never realized or dreamed of the Rocky Mountains. Gov. Hayes’ unsuccessful effort to «swindle Southern Representatives into supporting his fraudulent in; auguration, has lowered bim considerably in the opinion of the Amer-. ican people.—-Colusa Sun. We have as yetseen nothing in the course of Governor Hayes, before or since his election, indicating a desire on his part, to thwart the expressed wish of the people, He did not distribute a **bar'l of money”’ before election, nor has he or his agents sent any $8,000 checks to iaduce partisan Governors to falsely certify to the election of men whom the people had defeated. He did not establish an electioneering bureau, _vand he hasmet counseled a ‘display of armed opposition to the inaugu. ration of his opponent provided he should be declated elected. Can the . ‘supporters of Mr. Tilden~ say as much for him? ee oll of Honor, kd . -him—that—another offense._of _ that not been amended. so that, instead of inviting revolution and chaos once in every four years, as our last élection has. demonstrated, no contingency should-have been left_utprovided for. We can only ascribe our past exemption from a serious National disaster from this cause, to *‘so0d tuck,” and not to the forecast and wisdom of statesmanship, and the feeling engendered by our presversal among the intelligent masses who make and unmake candidates for public honors, that the agitation) js likely to end only with the perfection and adoption of a system, from which every element of chance shall have been eliminated, The unimportant character of the testimony ot the Secretary of the Interior and of other. members of the Republican National: Committee, elicited: by the Committee on the powers of the House, when compared with what it would be, as predicted by some members of a partisan press, previous to their examination, leave those organs in a -very ridiculous light; and the apparent willingness of Mr, Hewitt tosubmit his telégrams for public inspection, seems to conVict other patty seera ‘having the gift of prophecy,” of inefficiency in their line, or of misrepresentation, But the surrender of telegrams of members of both-theNational Committees by the Western Union Company, promises, according to street and newspaper-rumor, to show that Colonel Pelton is an indisereet manager, as well as having a very treacherous memory, which was made very apparent in his examination before Senator Morton’s committees while investigating Oregon affairs, He is said to have sent several messages as Secretary of the Democratic Com‘mittee, on his own responsibility, heating which, Mr. Tilden warned -kindswould subject him (Pelton) to severe discipline, z The long strides made by’ the National Capitol from a straggling overgrown village atthe opening of the warin 1861, to its present metropolitan greatness and beauty, is, perhaps, more marked inher hotels than in any other direction, Within that ‘time’old hotels have been enlarged and otherwise made more comfortable and homelike -to the traveling public, Among those, 'there occurs Metropolitan and National, all on Pennsylvania Avenue, ani well -known. before the war. _Among the new first-class ones which have mands for iacreased accommodations I mention the Arlington, Ebbitt, derson’s on Capitol Hill: The following is the roll of honor ‘in the Rough & Ready school for the month of January, J, ©.

We have as yetseen nothing in the course of Governor Hayes, before or since his election, indicating a desire on his part, to thwart the expressed wish of the people, He did not distribute a **bar'l of money”’ before election, nor has he or his agents sent any $8,000 checks to iaduce partisan Governors to falsely certify to the election of men whom the people had defeated.
