The LATE Ssow-sToRM AT NEw YoRK.-IHetdenis
aad .4ccidenb-The tremendous sDow-storm, the ell
iects OF which have, for the last two or three days
completely shut of all communication between New
York and Philadelphia, is described by the New
York papers the seyerest snowstorm that has vis-
tied that city for years. Il opened upon Them about
o'clock on Tuesday morning. The extreme cold
weather of the previous days had prepared the ground
for it, that every fake that fell was oil use 10 nj
ling up the streets. The snow was accompanied by
a gale Of wind from the L. N. +, which blew up
plenty Of drifts aud made the walking horribly disa-
greeable. Throughout the entire day the snow hlled
the air so completely, that one could see TO the
distance Of two rods. Broadway, II IS said, was
pretty well blocked up with snow-banks, to the depth
of or feet in some places.
II is stated that on Long Island snow has fallen to
the depth Of two feet, and drilted very much In
New York il was about Is inches deep, on level, at
three o'clock on Tuesday night. Al IN early hour
on Wednesday morning, we learn from the He
raid, the wind changed to W. N. W., the clouds
broke away, and the sun came out, making all look
happy again on the face OF New York, after storm
unequalled in severity.
The gale must have been severe on the coast We
learn from the officers of the vessels that arrived yes
terdsy that was perfect hurricane.
The u. s. steam ship Princeton was boarded on
Tuesday morning, of the Tavern House, and pilot
put on board When last seen, she had all her sails
fured, and standing of shore, right in the teeth
OF the gale under steam. This shows the great value
of the submerged propeers to all vessels In storms,
especially when they are on a lee shore.
The Princeton, from a cruise, went to the assist
ance of the schooner John Hill, which totally
ed IN the gale, while at anchor in the lower
Bay, and towed to town. The Princeton had
all of her topgallant masts down.
The old packet ship Sheffield is below, said to be
safe. She was in dangerous position in the gale
The New York Gun of Thursday thus alludes to
an accident mentioned in their paper Of Wednesday,
which has not yet come to hand
The accident in 26th street, to which we alluded
yesterday, is disastrous than at first supposed.
The number of houses partially blown down is about
twenty three. Commodore De Kay is the owner
The houses had only their fronts and two sides up
the rear wall not having yet been commenced, which
caused the disaster. The wind had full sweep upon
the front and side walls upon the sails Of ship.
The workmen very fortunately had left the build
ings at dinner time, and had not returned finding II
| too cold to work.

THE PRESIDENT ELECT.

We received the following letter last night
from the publisher of the Nashville Union.
We apprehend that the severe cold weather
which has interviewed, viii compel the Presiden.
elect to travel BY land through Ohio.
NASHVILLE, Tenn January 81, 1915.
J. u. Jones, Esq:
My DEAR SlR; The President elect will
leave the city Tomorrow morning on the steam
er Chind for Washington City. He will pro-
coed via Louisville, Cincinnati, and perhaps
Pittsburgh, without going out OF the direct
route from Nashville TO Washington. Al Lou
isville he will take the steamer Pike, which The
Democracy of that city have prepared for him
on his arrival there, and which will carry him
as far as he goes on the Ohio river.
Very respectfully, yours, &c.
p. s. | will see you in a few days.
We trust that several Of our contemporaries
who denounced the President so precipilately
for appointing Col. w. II. Polk, &c, &C., 10
office, will, when they perceive what is the SEN
timent in the West, reconsider the matter.
From the EIshrtile Union.
COL. w. II, POLK's APPOINTMENT.
We have seen with some surprise and regret
paragraph in the Richmond Enquirer in re-
ference TO The appointment of Col w Ii. Polk,
in which the editor casts censure upon HIN Tor
applying for an Office 10 Mr.. Tyler, if he did
make such application. The Enquirer makes
a singular objection to Col. Folks appointment.
He is the brother Of the President elect, and
therefore should not accept an office from Mr..
Tyler, lest it might be suspected that the Pres'
dent elect had solicited it and had thereby
brought himself under obligations TO return the
favor. 1t would be time for the Enquirer to fall
into the Wing slang on this subject, when the
new President is ascertained either 10 have So
licited Mr.. Tyler to appoint his brother, or that
he has laid ground for the suspicion by appoint
ing some Of Mr.. Tyler's family. Col. Polk is
well qualified for the station-and surely the
fact that he is the brother of the President
elect should not disqualify him for office either
under Mr.. Tyler or his own brother But there
is no reason for any fears or suspicious con-
| necled with this matter. The President elect
has had nothing TO do with procuring the APP
pointment of Col. w. III. Polk-and he is un.
der no sort of obligations 10 return the favor TO
any of Mr.. Tyler's friends. Mr.. Tyler would
scorn any such arrangements for The benefit Of
himself or any of his family. He appointed
Col p because he believed him well qualified,
| and 10 that he was not mistaken, and that is
the whole affair As TO the suspicious and con-
lectures Of Wing letter-writers, they are as
groundess as the ten thousand other rumors
and SANDERS which they are busily propsgaling
from w ashington.
