It would conform naturally to the course of the year, and it is m re conformable to fact. We have, it is very true, winter weather; so we have in November. But ordinarily extreme cold weather does not set in until alter Christmas. And spring certainly is not assured until April comes, March being characterized by cold and storm and excessive fluctuation.

We surrender much space to day to the full text of th3 bill to reduce and re'orm the Internal Revenue laws of the country, prepared by the dem ocrats of Congress. We .ask our people to ca efully read it. While not all we would wish, it is a very long step iu that direction, and will help very greatly. As was expected, however, and as here; of ore, the re publican members are fighting this measnre of relief bitterly. Committed to Jail. Sarah Taylor, a notorious wcmau about town, was before Justice Ma lone yesterday on the charge of lar ceny.

The Charlotte Chronicle says: Charlotte is a great Sunday lay-over placj fc- drummers. th; hotels in-: varibly being crowded on that day, and one-of e.tir churches, at least, i making every effort to secure? the attendance at divine service of the commercial man. The officers ot he Second Presbyterian church have a supply of printed cards es pecially for the benefit of the drum mers. The'card has a blank space to be filled in by the name ot thf drummer invitee!, and is a request for his attendance at the scr.'ice to be held at the church, and further explains that a committee of chinch men will call at the hotel at the f. Jpcr hour anil escort such of the visitors as may elesire u attend. The parties who ate interested with this work call at the hotels on Sat urday night, get the names of ail the drummers present, fill up the blank spaces .tnd leave the cards at the holds. As a result of this plan, a good many drummers were at church, last Sunday, and among the number civic some who might not have otherwise been there.

(.Note Sections 11 and 14 were designed to be combined in one sec tion, and will probably be made so by amendment before the bill is ij ported to the House ) The total reduction in the revenue made by the bill presented to the ways aniH5f ans-comuiittee to dav is about $25,000,000, made uo of 820.000.000 on tobacco aud So .000.- 000 on various soeci.il taxes re moved. The presentation of tiie bid was the signal for a vigorous onslaught : by the republican members upon their do Jiocratic colleagues. They roundly denounced the majority for I their conduct in the preparation of i this and the tariff bill, and their i .-' dignation was heightened when a proposition was put and carried, de spite their objection, to consolidate i in one measure th. tariff and rev-i enue bills. Mr. Reed demanded to know upon I what precedent or by what authori- j tv the Democratic members of the committee had departed from th-; usual plan of considering the Pres ident's message by sections in the full committee, and adopted the scheme of preparing a bill alleged to be ba-ed upon its recommenda tions, without affording the minor ity an opportunity to d'scus-i in de tail proposed cnanses that imtnit ! involve enormous loss aud irretriev-! able damage to the county. ,i Tr ,, - - , ... , ' Mr. Kelley joined with Mr. Reed in a vigorous protest against the! meixous aaopieu 03- me majority. Finally Mr. Breckenridge o tiered I a resolution declaring thst the com- j mittee had acted fully within its ; powers in the preparation and con- i sicleration of the bills upon recom- ' mendations contained by the Presi ! dent's message and suggestions car ! ried by the various measures intros ; A..-A : l. .l . ,. -.1 . . 11 111 eeie; uuuse; auu leiciieu iu the committee. This resolution w-is adopted by a strict party vote, all of the members being present anil vot ing, except Mr. Scott, of Pennsyl vama. It was then suggested by the republicans, in view of the ap parent eieiei ruination 01 me majoi 1 ' ty to begin formal consideration of! the bill, those who would be af- fecied bv the bill, should be afford i ed an opportunity to address the committee upon the subject. This! otoposition did not seem to meet with favr at the hands of the ma jority auo some ot tne etcmocratic 1 " 1 . , . 1 , , ; memoei s 100K tne grounu mat any need.'ul information might be sup ; plied to the committee by the means. of punted briefs or arguments. Mr. Reed, however, characterized such ' proceeding as huinouggery ami ih- elated that no information o value ; could be imparted by the printed j screeds as h id been abundantly j shown in the past. He appealed to 1 the committee to allow the proper ! consideration ol the bill, and not to i . a- r i. 1 cut off information easi.y obtaina-1 ble, which would enable the mein- bers to act intelligibly, and without : destroying vast interests; otherwise i the minority would be obliged to get through the details of the bill on their own account and with very inauequate means ot acquiring a. knowledge of the probable effect of ! the proposed changes in the tariff1 laws. ; The session of the committee j lasted about an hour and three-quar- teis and (many, without formany disposing of the question of hearings the committee adjourned until to- morrow morning, when it is tne understanding that the considera tion of the bill by sections will be gin. I Through an error made in the complication of the revenue bill, as sent to day. both sections 11 and 14 appear to offer independant sub stitutes for section 3255 of the re vised statutes. As a matter oT fact it was the intention of the commute e to consolidate the two substitutes in one section. TO THE PUBLIC.

Do Men Gather FlgsofTlilstlea It is as reasonable to expect figs frofn thistles as to look for good results when poor seeds are planted. If you plant an acorn yon cannot gather apricots, and if you bow poor and old seeds you can not have large and solid cabbage heads, nor round and regular tomatoes, nor perfect and juicy eantelonpes. Tue moral of thJs is, Be sure you get go x' seeds to avoid disappointment.
