CURRENT TOPICS. 
The Louisiana Election. 
The reports of ihe Louisiana Investigating 
Committee have been made to the Senate. 
There were four reports made. The majority of 
tlie Committee recommend the adoption of a 
resolution proclaiming Hint there Is no State 
Government in Louisiana, and that neither 
John Ray nor W. L. McMullan, Is entitled to a 
seat In the Senate, neither having been elected 
by tlie Legislature. To t Ids report Senators Car¬ 
penter, Logan. Anthony and Alcorn subscribe. 
Senator Trumbull presents a minority report in 
which he recommends the recognition of the 
MeEvery Legislat ure as tlie legitimate Legisla¬ 
ture of the State and the admission of McMullan 
as Senator. Senator Mori on holds that Congress 
cannot go behind tlie Supreme Court of the 
State sustaining the Kellogg Government. Sen¬ 
ator Hill recommends that the members of the 
Legislature declared elected by both returning 
hoards he called together as the Legislature of 
the State, proceed to count the election returns 
and declare who are the State officers. This is 
the way the Committee return the subject to 
the Senate. 
VIoe-President Colfax. 
No more humiliating exhibition has ever been 
made than that by Vice-President Colfax during 
the past six months—humiliating to the Amer¬ 
ican people, who have honored and trusted this 
man. His attempts to explain matters have 
resulted successively in plunging him lower and 
lower In public estimation. The foot that he 
has received several thousand dollars from GRO. 
F. Nesbitt, a contractor with the Government 
for the manufacture of postage stamps has not, 
in the least degree, reassured the people that 
their trust has been well placed. Finally, the 
Judiciary Committee of the House has been 
instructed to ascertain ■whether ihe testimony 
before the Poland Committee warrants bring- j 
ing articles of impeachment against him. A 
resolution directing this committee to bring 
articles of Impeachment was voted down. It is 
not probable that Vice-President Colfax will be 
impeached formally; but ho stands impeached 
by the people and forever disgraced. 
Buying Chicago Lots. 
Illustrating the utter folly of buying what 
one lias not seen, and the mnnneffin which for¬ 
tunes have been made by the few In tlie Went 
at the expense of the many, Is the recent expose 
of a gigantic swindle in Chicago. It seems that 
one G. W. Scott, purchased a quantity of swamp 
land twenty miles from the Chicago Court 
House at. $9 per acre and sub-divided It into 
lots, dubbing it the boulevard sub-division. 
Those lots he has sold at $200 each to hundreds 
of people in Chicago (nnd probably elsewhere) 
the Tribune publishing a list of over LOOO pur¬ 
chasers. An examination of the pint of litis 
“boulevard sub-division,” shows the lots to 
range in size from 15 by 35 to 9 by 20 feet, the 
streets averaging six feet in width and the alleys 
13 Inches! The lands are good for nothing any 
way!

Han Diego, Han Diego Co., Cal,, Feb, 3.— This 
evening we had ripe tomatoes for toa, fresh 
from the vines, picked to-day. Last week we 
had t he first new ripe strawberries. We have 
freslt vegetable# of all kinds; also verbenas, 
petunias, geraniums, nasturtiums, phlox, &c., 
&c„ all in full bloom. One or two light frosts 
In October killed sweet potato vines, nnd one 
the last of January froze ice In a. tub set ting on 
the stoop. The groat want of this part of the 
country is ruin, The ground I- wetter now than-“ 
it Ims been the last three years, and is moist 
only about ten inches deep. It lots rained the 
past three nights; rain cornea mostly in the 
night time. We raise water for irrigating by 
wind power, whtoh is as steady as clock-work 
most, of t he year. Water Is found from JO to 1U0 
feet from the surface.—8. w. 
Clinton, Lennwee Co., Mich., Fell. 21. Wo 
have had several cold terms this Winter, at one 
time the mercury reaching 30* below zero. 
Stock is wintering well, the crisp, dry weather 
being favorable. Fodder reasonably abundant. 
Many wells dry. Had two feet of snow at one 
time—mostly gone now. Low places in wheat 
fields covered with ice. We expect the next 
crop will be spotted In consequence. Wheat 
had a fair start in the Fall. More east wind 
lately than usual. Rheumatism and catarrhal 
fever prevalent. It has frozen in many cellars 
where frost never got, before. I think this an¬ 
other hard W inter on evergreens. One of mine, 
I know, is dead, and several others look bad 
February has been rather mild.— f. h. g. 
Portland, Multnomah CO., Oregon, Jail. 29.— 
The general temperature now, with us, is 65®. 
Roses which have stood in the open air all Win¬ 
ter are in bloom; buds of alder, maple, and 
other tree* and shrubs arc swelling, and in some 
places opening to the sun: grass has, tn many 
places, attained a growth of several inches. Ice 
lias nowhere formed to the thickness of one- 
fourth inch. Cattle require shelter only when 
it rains. A very little snow has fullen, but re¬ 
mained bu(. a few hours. Extremes of heat and 
cold are unknown, and the nights of Summer 
are always cool, and afford refreshing sleep.—
