ffegf ERDAY NOON'S PTSPATCTIKS. REVOLT IN TEXAS. Brntal Treatment : of Capt. Trimble I and Family. f DESPERADOES IN MONTANA. New York, Jan. 28. The Her--mid's New Orleans special says that Boure County, Texas, is in revolt. Capt. Tremble, late of an Illinois Regiment, planting there, was recently shot, wounded, and his life threatened.He came to New Orleans and returned with twenty cavalry to remove his family. He found that his wife and child had been driven from home into Arkansas. The negroes n his place were manacled and driven through the streets in presence of the cavalry, who were forced to fall back before 300 unreconstructionists. Mrs. Tremble died from ill treatment, and was buried here yesterday. Generals Mower, Hatch, Kirbv, and many Union officers and members of the Grand Army of the Republic, attended the funeral. The Captain is at the point of death from wounds reeived from the chivalry. The Herald's Toronto special says the report of the Canadian minister of Customs, recommends that American vessels be refused the privilege of passing through the Welland Canal for a tew months. By doing this, he eay$, " we will bring the Americans to reason." The Herald's Ottowa special says : "An order has been issued for the removal of Lynch, McMahon ther condemned Fenians to di mo I Kingston' Penitentiary." Thy Herald's Washington correspondent' pays: "A bill has been framed1 for introduction in the House, providing, for the appointment of GeuiGrant to be acting President in case of the impeachment or removal r Johnson. Tho excise law was " again vigor ously "enforced yesterday, and the Sabbath passed off quietly and soberly, there being but few arrests. A large meeting of influential German eitizens was held at Cooper Institute last night, favoring the strict enforcement of the law. Appropriate resolutions were adopted.- '.;..'.. , Irvin A. Denson, formerly a master-at-arms on the United States gunboat Cayuga, committed suicide by shooting himself through the head, yesterday, in the back-yard of a boardinghouse at No. 60 Main Street. Depression consequent on the death of his wife, and loss of employment since his discharge from the Navy, was the cause. The steamer R. R. Cuyler. the fastest propeller in the Merchant Marine of this country, was sold on Saturday to the Colombian Government. She is being equipped as a war vessel, and is receiving a battery aboard. It appears that Head Center Stephens has not sailed for Europe. - - ; The Herald 's Washington special eaya: The charges against the Indian Commissioner, Bogy, are not likely to be sustained. The., investigation concerning the action of Quartermasters in relation to Southern railroads has shown that the Quartermaster's Department has faithfully, maintained the interests of 1 the country. The J udiciary Committee in investigating the apprenticing system under the laws of Maryland, find that the courts in some sections seem to be derUcct in the observance of the Civil Rights bill. , , , ,.; The New Orleans Riot Commission will report this week, and will not ' be TeryJvfayorable to Louisiana. It is said no mitigation has been found for the hostile and disloyal character recently attributed to that section. The conditional Union men of East Tenpessee,at a recent meeting, endorsed the action of Gov. Brownlow, and instructed delegates to vote for his re-nomination in the State Convention on the 22d of February. In ase he declines the delegates were directed to vote for Col. Stokes: and the Hon. 11. B. Butler was named to succeed" Col. Stokes in Congress in case the latter was nominated for Governor. The Times' special says : " The xtremiits here piled up the rates on the tariff bill in the Sennte so high, that there is just grounds for believing that the. bill may fail altogether. Copper has been put up three cents per pound, which is equal to 30 per cent ad valorem; zinc 3 cents, when 2i eents is practically prohibitory. Bituminous coal, which the committee recommend at 50 centSj has been fixed at il 50, and so on.' The 6tory about a quarrel between Gen. Sherman and Minister Campbell, is totally uniounded. It appeirs, that, if the Government is obliged to give notice of the sale of gold, it will be at the mercy of the speculators. It now looks as. though the efforts to reduce the tax on whisky would be ineffectual. Mr. McGennis, whose nomination as Minister to Stockholm was rejected, sailed for his destination a week ago, thinking his confirmation was sure. V. W. Seward is expected to return from the West Indies about the middle of the present week. ... A tribune special says:1 Mr. Alii- j son a proposition to issue $50,000,000 ' three per cent, notes, to take the place of the compound interest notes, which afe redeemable the present L year, meets with considerable opposi- j tion m the Ways and Means Com- ' mittee.

Measures. During the past session of Congress bills were passed authorizing the use of the decimal system in. weight and measures, directiug the Secretary of the Treasury to furnish the Governor of each btate with a set ot standards, authorizing the Postmaster General to introduce the system into the Post Office. The new five-cent piece is made upon this system, both in weight and diameter, being five grammes in weight, aud five of them laid side by side on a flat surface are a decimeter in length. Most nations with which we have commercial intercourse have adopted the system already, and it will much simplify international business when we can all conform to the system, which is taken from the French. Only four tables are needed, besides those of money and time, instead of the confusion of tables in our ordinary practice. Within a short time this will take the place of the old weights and measures. The Fairbanks Scale Company now manufacture large quantities of scales graduated on this system. New arithmetics are putting in the tables as a special advantage to crown their merits, though some older ones Ray's Hi'her, for .example ; have had these for wira n9t. (Ihieapo nronoses to buv j vu. u .f - - v o . r grain by the cental or hundred pounds. nnri 01 hp muta litplvto make a, further change and use a unit for a new weight. Now a quart of beans, a quart of beer and a quart of molasses are three different measures, though few who use them know how great a difference there is. They are 67 1-5, 70, and 56 cubic inches, respectively, ii How much more convenient and satisfactory to use the liter for all such purposes. This is a little more than the wine quart. .Then we can judge better why berries seem so different in our purchases, as we make a variation ? of almost 25 per cent., according to the cup used in dealing them out to us. i A few hours will enable a pupil to master Reduction, now so formidable a part of our arithmetics; in fact, the learning of four tables is all the extra work required, as all the practice will then be as easy as Federal money. . . 5 ' The French mathematicians calculated the earth's circumference, then an ac from the equator to the pole, and subdivided this into 10,000,000 parts for the meter or unit of length, which ' is about 39.37 inches. The Latin prefixes deci, centi, milli, mark the subdivisions, and the Greek numerals -deka, hecto, kilo, mark the multiples. A length of ten meters, squared, gives the arc, the unit of surface. The weight of a cube of distilled water, a centimeter in length on each edge, gives the gram, the unit of weight. ; The liter, the unit of measure of capacity, is the contents of a cube whose edge is a decimeter in length. The sooner the pupils of our schools understand this the better, as the adoption of these is already legalized, and their use will rapidly gain. No teacher need wait for books on the subject to put in the hands of his pupils, but can add in some general exercise, these explanations to the common text-books, or consult a little book just published by J. B. Lippi-n-cott & Co., of Philadelphia, entitled the " Metric System;" or see the "II' Hnoix Teacher," for the month of November. The tables are a3 follows: L i. MEASURES OF LENGTH.
