No snow on tho great plains, nor in thc Black Hills, nor in the passes of the Rocky Mountains, nor tu the lofty chain of the Sierra Nevada, to obstruct the trains, but a clear track from ocean to ocean. At Hie same time the record shows the Hudson River open from Hew Tork to Albany, und thc same ls reported of all the European rivers emptying Into the Norh Sea and thc Lower Baltic, which are usually "fast locked in Ice in midwinter. It is certainly an ex? traordinary winter so tar over the whole face of the civilized world. -General George H. Thomas has written a let? ter from San Francisco, under date of December 31.18C9, explaining lils n-asons for offering to re? fund to the present Legislature of Tennessee the cost of the portrait of himself, ordered to be paint? ed by the Legislature of I860. He says that at the time he regretted thc passage of the resolution, but felt a natural delicacy in declining a compli? ment so unexpected. In ordering thc price of thc portrait to be refunded and the medal to be re? turned, he says that he"disclaims any intention whatever to regret the compliment extended to him by the Legislature or 1SC6, but simply wishes to return to the Legislature, which repudiates their act, as far as In his power to do so, compen? sation for what they seem to consider a wrong perpetrated by a former Legislature ?n the people of the State in his behau. -The latest phase of the woman movement ls their appearance in Wall street as stock brokers. It now turns out that all the women who hauutcd the street In their coupes during the gold panic lu September last, were not merely the beauties or the Erie seraglio, but some or them, at least, were members or "solid" business firms. The New Tors Herald has discovered a Arm of brokers corn? iced of two women, married and sisters, who nave nn^ert*ken to run the dangers of "the street" It ls reported they have the backing of Commodore Vanderbilt and other experienced operators, though the younger lady (about 24) be? ing a lawyer by self-training, and the other a lob- j 0 byist at Albany, lt would seem as though they might take care or themselves. Indeed, that is proved by the fact (if it be a fact) that since they have been bi the business in New York-some two or three years-although their operations were conducted solely through agents in thc street, they hive made about seven hundred thousand dollars, ami they expect that when they establish an<-nVcin Wall-street and go lu earnest into gold stock, that they will do much better. -We have the following particulars concerning Hiram R. Bevel, the colored senator elect from Mississippi: He ls a tall, portly man, or light com? plexion, has benevulcnt.reatiires, a pleasant vo:ce and geutle ways. He ls thoroughly respect.d by his own people and by thc whites, norn in free? dom, in North Carolina, in 1823; craving an cdu cation, he removed to Indlaua; spent two years at the Quaker Semluary in Union County; en? tered the Methodist ministry; afterwards re? ceived further Instructions at the Parke County Seminary, when lie became preacher, teacher and lecturer among his people lu the States of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, and Missouri. At thc breaking out of the war he was minis? tering at Baltimore. Ito assisted in the organi? zation of tuc first two colored regiments in Maryland and Missouri. During a portion of 16CS ami ISM he taught school in st. Louis: then went to Vicksburg and assisted the provost mar? shal in managing thc freedmen affairs; followed on the heels of the army to Jackson ; organized churches, and lectured; spent thc next two yean in Kansas and Missouri, in preaching and lectur? ing un moral and religious subjects, returned to Mississippi, and l??ti been in Natchez ever since. He is presiding elder of his church for thc south? ern portion of the Stale of Mississippi, and since July last, has served in the City Council of Natchez, his friends say, with ability and honor. He consented to run, aud was elected to thc State Senate, and has now been selected as thc utting man to represent thc State in thc United States Senate. A. Costly Farce? pt - . t To make oneself ridiculous is not gene? rally, a very difficult task; but it ?3 reserved for few who ure not professional buffoons lo achieve SQ Ililli an eminence in that lauda? ble art as lias been attained by the mongrel assemblage calling itself "The L?gislature of "South Carolina." Folly at full length is an entertaining spectacle, and both wit and wisdom can afford now and then to pause and cont?mplale its goodly proportions. Tills is the nineteenth Christian century, and we are a civilized people. We have an organ? ized State and eily government-if somewhat Lilliputian in its mental stature, and moro than somewhat Ethiopian in its prevailing hue i hy let that pass. You cannot have ex? periments without thc corpore viii-it would be unscientific und a waste of good material. But that tho world may know with how little wisdom it is governed, and how easy it is to be a law-giver and rule humanity, we will bring together a few incidents taken at random from the records of a single week of legislative proceedings, and leave the moral thereof to bc drawn by our readers. The history of the Charleston Extension Bill is perhaps one of the most disgraceful even in the annals of Radical legislation, and it is only giving thc devil his due to ad? mit that'the "Senate," So-called, seem to have appreciated this facL- But the beha? vior of thc House on this occasion is very characteristic. Hearing of the probability id the defeat of the bill in the Senate, they cause to be intimated to that body that if such a course be pursued they will take the :-ue and as unceremoniously kick out of the ?louse all matters seut from thc Senate. Tho throat fails of effect, and DeLarge, the nov?r of thu bill, immediately gives notice ff Iiis intention to introduce a bill lo incor? porate the Mayor and Aldermen as a stock? jobbing institution-an announcement which, ive are told, occasioned considerable laugh :er. This is followed by notice of another lull "to extend the limits of the State of "South Carolina;'' and for some time the lonorable members, whose wit dpes not seem to be very original, amuse themselves jy the introduction of motions to extend the imits of this or that place, uutil the excel eut jest becomes a trifle threadbare. A member moves to amend a bill which s before the House, by the insertion of the | j vords "by and with the advice and consent 'of thc Senate," whereupon the humorous 1 )eLarge proposes that the word "Senate" i ic struck out and "?. T. Corbiu" inserted, rhicli multitudinous official hupp ns, just at l iresent, tobe in the honorable member's bad j jraces. The "Senate Judiciary Committee" (what's n a name!) have referred to them the peti- ? iou of one "Mack," to have his name 1 hanged to "Mackey." There is no purlieu- j ar reason why the petition should not be granted; but the opportunity for "a sorry j ^ .jest" must not be lost, and an unfavorable ?port is returned, with the remark that 'if the petitioner knew the consequences 'which would result to him from such a c 'change, he would never have applied." . t The valiant Speaker of the House ?3 un- t lappy enough to offend a colored brother by onie uulucky ruling, and for several mo- I aents it is doubtful which of the two can t sprees with more ingenuity and emphasis < lis absolute disbelief in the veracity and 1 louesty of the other. This does not pre? cut the aforesaid Speaker from being invi ed to deliver a lecture on "Religion," for lie benefit of die African Episcopal Church .f Columbia, which profanity, however, was . irevented by inclement weather. But perhaps the most characteristic itici [eut of thc session, is that reported in our 'olumbia letter, published on Monday, in ' rhicli a member, denying an accusation of > he irrepressible DeLarge, is greeted by that ndignant individual with the significant ex xclamation, "Great God! Ananias still1 'lives !" This is a faithful indication of the manner a which the time and money of the State .re wasted by her model legislators; and in pite of these and similar exhibitions, we are ailed upon to believe that the negro is now ca- ? { .able of providiug for others that government diich he is utterly unfitted to exercise over j iinself. There is, doubtless, a good and u?eient reason for the exhibition, and il ?lay be that the "missio.." of DeLarge and is coadjutors is to demonstrate to the world lie practical absurdity of all humanitarian lieories which iguore the plain laws of isa ure. and "remove the landmarks" of sci uce and ethnology. "Providence has de? creed," said tlie wit, "and perhaps wisely." ?'e accept the possibility, and will admit mt eveu the Legislature of South Carolina i lay bave a raison d'etre. Meanwhile, like 'ortia's lover, "God made them, and, there? fore, let them pass for men. " | Jj r THE Wilmington Star of yesterday has this t Stoutening paragraph: as- The Radical Legislature of South Caro? na proposes to enlarge the corporation limits j? 1 Charleston, for party purposes, ol' course, t lr. Pillsbury, Mayor ofthat city, ii- ? Demo- 1' rat. and they hope by bringing in a large mim? er of negroes living in the suburbs to break oicn th? majority that elected lum. This is the unkindest cut of all. The Star as twinkled so busily in the Old North State < dat its rays do not reach Charleston ! Or * lse, it has a new twinkler! !

'i "Bribery and Corruption/' Wc print elsewhere the new act "to pre? sent bribery and corruption." Sections 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8, do relate to bribery and cor? ruption ; but sections 5, 6 and 7 refer only to tlic penalty incurred by persons who allow or assist prisoners to escape. This ?3 hardly in accord with section 19, article 2 of thc State Constitution, which . provides that "Every act or resolution having the force "of law shall relate lo bul one subject, and "that shall oe expressed iu thc title.'' We should like ?.0 know, moreover, how many coaches and four could be driven through section 7 of this "bribery and corruption" act? An Important Decision. THE Supreme Court of the United States on Monday decided, Mr. Justice Swayne de? livering the opinion, that the plea of author? ity conferred by Hie Confederate States for thc indictment and arrest of parties was no defence in an action for damages resulting from such proceedings. This decision was in thc case of Hickman vs. Betts and others, who, as officers of the court and grand ju? rors, had indicted and arrested the defendant for treason against the Confederate States. Thc cause came from the Circuit Court for the Northern District of Alabama, where the acts complained of were done during the war. Tiie court below held that thc authority of tho Confed?rate States was a justification. The Supreme Court reversed thc judgment and remanded the cause. A Monstrous. Proposition. . . In the House of Representatives, on Mon? day, Mr. Bingham offered the following billi which was referred to the Committee on tho Judiciary and ordered to bc printed: Ik il enacted, tte. That in all cases wherein a State has certified, ?br shall hereafter certify, to the Secretary of Mate of the Uuited States that the Legislature of such State has ratified any amendment heretofore proposed, or which shall hereafter be proposed, by the Congress of the United States to the Constitution there? of, it shall be unlawful for such State to certify thereafter any repeal of such amendment, and if such certificate of repeal be made, said Sec? retary ol' State shall not receive or make any record thereof in the Department of State, but the same shall be void and ot no effect. SEC. 2. Lc it further enacted, That any and all persons who shall, after thc Legislatures of three-fourths of thc States have ratified any amendment to the Constitution of tho United Stales, proposed by the Congress thereof, re? peal or attempt to repeal any ratification af such amendments after the same shall have been certified to the Secretary ef State of the United States, and before the Congress of thc United States shan have proposed au amend? ment providing for the repeal thereof, shall be gullly of a misdemeanor; and upon tho convic? tion thereof in any court of the United States having jurisdiction in the premises'shall be subject lo Imprisonment not less, than one nor more than ten years, or to a flue ol uot less than two thousand nor more thau ten thous? and dollars, or to both, in the discretion ol' the court. .SEC. 3.

Charleston: Walker, Evans & Cogswell. The publishers deserve much credit for thc neat and elegant manner in which they have gotten up this little volume. Miss Poyas is one rf the sweetest of our native female pods; md the present collection of her poems shows i power of harmonious versification and a spacefill fancy, joined with a devotional und patriotic spirit, which are worthy of higi praise. We quote a sonnet from among the ater poems, .which i3 a fair average? speci nen of her style: TO MART F-. Pure as a moonbeam sleeping on thc sea, )r playing in the chalice ol' ? flower, in some romantic fairy-cultured bower, seems thy sweet maiden presence uuto me With its soft light, and holy witchery If Christian graces; the peculiar dower yt stern AlUiction, who in Life's young hour Put out I he sun anil left sad night'to thee, fer not a night of darkness or of gloom- . [?right solemn stars lool. from its deep blue sky; Ind silvery moonbeams ripple and illume Thy path, else dreary-and allure thine eye tu where thy friend amid perpetual bloom, \ waits thy coming In thu realm on high. LAND COMMISSIONER LESLIE, in the Senate tn Tuesday, jerked out a declaration that here was not a colored man in the South lit o be associate justice of the Supreme Court, md said, besides, that the election of Judge loge (now ia Congress) was a disgrace lo lie bench and to the Radical parly.
