To THE EDITOR: The Tribune of October LIST has
the following paragraph aimed at me, as dele
gate to the Syracuse convention, though addressed
to MIR. MAXWELL
"Since he was at Syracuse himself. he could not
have failed to see one of his inspectors there, in
the capacity OF delegate, VIGOROUSLY elected by
fraudulent LocofJco votes, bought and paid for
with money that must have easily; while at
least other of his subordinates (ast year a dell
egate) was conspicuous and active outsider on
the side which commenced by bullying and ended
by boiling. The delegates who composed the mi
nority, and ended by seeding, were nearly all
elected from the outside counties, containing the
navy yard and principal custom houses in the
State-there not bakers dozen Of them from
any other"
SO far az the above is intended TO apply TO me,
wish 10 say that went 10 Syracuse, not at the 60
vernment expense, but at my own-that drew no
pay during my absence-that the money expended
in procuring election my own. All insin-
nations, assertions, and illusions to the contrary
false and unfounded; and, if Mr.. Greeley will
make the charge directly, which he insinustes so
sneekingly and covertly, he will have an opporu-
nifty TO prove them in n court of law As for the
seceders being Office holders Mr.. Greeley is direct
ed TO the of the Marshal of the Northern Dis
trict of New York, the Canal Commissioner of the
State, the Clerk in the Office of Collector Of Taxes

brood of other office holders who guided and con
trollcd the majority at Syracuse.

Tribune of October LIST, so article calling the
attention of the collector of the port certain of his
subordinate officers who present at the late
State convention, held at Syracuse on the 2Sth ul
tmo, and particularly pointing out one of the
DULLES and bolters Gas he chooses to designate the
honest and fearless portion of the Wing party pres
ent at said convention,) certain outsider, who
delegate at the convention of 1919, as having
been particularly conspicuous and active in his OPP
position to the abolition portion Of the delegates
said convention.
Mr.. Greeley seems to have entirely overlooked
certain other officers Of the General Government
belonging to the Post Office Department, and also
certain marshal's and aids, who were also present
ut the said convention and whose abolition senti-
ments seem to have entirely blinded his eyes to
their dereliction of duty. The outsider spoken Of
would beg leave TO inform Mr.. G.. that he received
neither pay nor reward from the Government dur
ing his absence from his official duties and also
when called upon to do battle for the great princ
Piles of the Wing party, and to oppose sectional is
sues, let them emanate from what quarter they may

is a delegate outsider.

Between 3 and 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
a storm broke in upon us from the South accom-:
panied by wind, thunder and lightning, and fol-
lowing the line of the river, swept along the
towns below the city with fearful violence, crea.
ting the utmost CONSERVATION and doing serious
damage. Two of the morse telegraph lines run
ming through the town of Fulton, just east OF
Cincinnati, were seriously damaged by the wind
boats were forced from their moorings-chim-
neys were blown down from their places, and
roofs Of several houses were torn off 'E-r'''.
We are unable to state the entire extent OF
damage, but apprehend disastrous news from
points within the range ofthe storm. The chin
neys of the steamer Clipper no 2, lying at the
wharf were blown down, and a portion of the 2i-
lot house of the steamer G. w. Kendall, was
blown off. Steamers Gen. Washington and
Beacon at the ship yard above were shattered
almost to pieces, and much other damage done
to steamboats,, both at the landing and at points
above. A small girl living on Front street near
Ludlow, was struck and Immediately killed by a
post awning which was blown down.
A fiat-boat: we learn, was sunk at the foot of
four mile bar, and three persons were drowned
two of them from near Belmont, KY, named
Bryson, twin brothers. and on their way to New
Orleans on their first adventure in business

selves in a position adverse to that message.
thoughtgthe opinion expressed in that message
was wrong, and SO stated to the President at the
time. still think SO, I am DESTROYS to give
what think is justly due to new, States--some
little advantage in the construction of works of
this kind, because they have given much to the
general government. Sir, this very State of H.
linois surrendered the right Of taxing the public
domain for FIVE years, and all that has been sold
has been subject to that restriction; so that the
State has never drawn one dollar from the sale
of the public lands after they came into the pos
session of private individuals, until five years e.
lapsed. Thus the resources of the State were
embarrassed, preventing the prosecution of orks
OF internal Improvement; and now, when we ask
that portion of the lands shall be appropriated
for the purpose Of affording facilities for trans
portation, and thereby of bringing some degree
tvalue to the lands, we met with the objec-
ton that this is an immense grant-that the dis
lance is great and covers an immense quantity
of land. Well, sir, there is q great quantity;
but it would lie there five hundred years before
it would command ten cents, unless some i'm
provement Of that kind were made. The land
is not susceptible of being cultivated with any
advantage, because no man will expend labor up
on barren soil while he can get good land at
the same price. rssg,, e, ..,.t 49,.
Mr. DODGE of Iowa. The senator from
South Carolina Mr.. Butlerl has constitutional
scruples to an appropriation of this character,
and SO have various other gentlemen. l could
refer him to the fact mentioned by the senator
from Alabama, Mr.. King,] that his [Mr. But
ler's] departed colleague was the champion of
these appropriations in times past; and if l re-
member Alright, the one which connects the Hi
nois river with Lake Michigan was carried by
his casting vote, when he occupied the seat
that you now hold: and am sure that he never
gave vote that gratfied his constituents more
than the result produced by the vote he gave on
that occasion. There is something in what has
been said by the honorable senator from Wiscon-
sin, [Mr. Walker;] but it is sufficient for me to
know that the senators of that State are willing
that the pioneer settlers shall pay this increased
price when the lands are brought into market
receiving, as they certainly will receive, the val
ue of the improvement that is made. If it were
simply a donation, the government would be
benefited to the extent of millions, because, in
that case, it would be enabled to dispose of mill
ions which will never sell until the improvement
is made.
