HE CANDIDATE OF THE THIRD CoNGREs-
sIoNAL DIsTRIor.-In short visit made at
one OF the villages of'Newton the day before
yesterday, we were exceedingly gratifed at
the spontaneous expression of opinion in IA
vor of the Hon. Charles f. Adams, as the Re.
publican candidate, from this district, for the
next Congress. From the prompt answer
which was given to our inquiries as to indi-
Yldual preferences Of the persons interrogated
and OF the opinion Of leading Republicans,
and the general feeling Of the American Re-
publican party, we should Judge that it
would be difficult to find a dozen persons in
the. party of that ancient town opposed to the
nomination of Mr.. Adams Milford Journal.
OF Rosa Bonheur, Ruskin says "This
lady gains in power every year, but there is
one stern fact concerning art which she will
do we'll to consider, If she means herpowet
to reach full development. No painter Of an
imals ever yet was entirely great, who shrank
from painting the human taos, and M lie Bon
heur clearly does shrink from 1t. In
the Horse Fair, the human faces are nearly
all dexterously, but disagreeably hidden, and
the one chiefly showH has not the slightest
character. Mile Bonheur may rely ppon
this, that IL she cannot paint a mans face,
she can neither paint horses, dogs, nor
bulls. There is in every animals eye, dim
image and CLEAN of humanity, a fash of
strange light through which their life looks
out aud up to our great mystery Of command
over them, and claims the fellowship of the
creature, If not Of the'soul. l assure Mile
Bonheur strange as the words may sound to
her, after what she has been told. by hunts
mon and racers, she has nepor vet bainted a
horse. She has only painted trotting bodies
OF horsee."

Democratic Victories.

Within the last week several munici.
pal elections have occurred, which
terminated, III every instance, in ia
vor Of the Democracy by gratifying
majorities. In New Haven (Conn.)
on party issue, the Democracy beat
all the fag-ends of opposition, COM
bined in one organization, by over
five numbered majority on the Mayor
and other city officers. They also
carried the City Council. In Norwich
Conn., on Monday last, the Democ.
racy elected eight members of the
City Council to four Bak. Republicans
There was no choice for Mayor. The
telegraph dispatch to the New York
Tribune says "the Democrats are
jubilant."
But the most gratifying and impOr-
tant triumph was in Washington City
where the Democracy beat the plug
Ugly" secret organization, which was
drilled and diciplined under the eye
Of the Republican members of Con-
gress, by over five hundred majority.
Mr. Berrit was elected Mayor. The
rptiians of Baltimore, who last year
attempted to take possession OF the
polls in behalf of their Washington
"Plug- Ugly" allies, did not visit the
capital this year, thanks 10 the voliey
ofiead which they received from the
National Marines on their last visit.
These Democratic victories afford q
certain indication that the political
pulse of the country is rapidly becom-
ing healthgul, and that til e Kansas fe-
yer is dying out.

DiSbandment OF the Republican,
Party in Pennsylvania.

r In Pennsylvania, the second State
in the Union in point of population
and wealth, the "Republicans" have
disbanded their organization, and
gone with their whole strength into
the peoples Party" A convention
under that name is to be held at Har.
risburg on the 18th of July, for the
nomination of State officers, which
will be participated in by the con-
g!omerated "lusion" of" Republicans, 4"
"Americans," American. .Repuhli-
cans" "Maine-Lawites," "Woman's
Rights Men," "Abolitionists," Free
Lovers" "and every other organization
OF pestilent heresy which has disturbed
the country for the past four years.
The factions are all to be consolidated
into ore party, dubbed the Peoples"
which, like Joseph's coat, is composed
Of many colors. The American"
and "Republican" parties had previ.
ously called State conventions, but
withdrew them simultaneously, invit.
ing their followers to organize under
the new combination and name.
This suicide of f"Republcanism" in
Pennsylvania is a severe blow to that
! faction in all the free States. Chase
and Seward, in New York and Ohio,
are doing their best to keep vitality in
it, at least until after the next Presi-
dental election, conscious that with
the reconstruction of parties is de.
stroyed their own influence; but it is
very doubtful whether they will sue.
ceed. The Kansas question is settled,
and the mass Of the opposition are get
ting heartily sick of the negroism and
desire new organization, which shall
make it subservient to other matters.
Besides, the name of "Republican"
has become odious on account Of the
crimes and folles which have tainted
it since they assumed it as party,
and they are anxious to get more
popular and respectable designation.
The opposition have always been
obliged to assume new name every
lev years which should disguise their
principles, in order to maintain any
contest with tho Democracy, and
hence their late move is entirely IN
character with their antecedents. AS
the Wings administered on the old
Anti Masonic" organization and the
"Republicans" upon the "Whig," SO
the Peoples party is to settle up the
political estate Of those deceased par
ties in Pennsylvania called "Ameri-
can" and "Republican." That the
Democracy of Pennsylvania will be
able to put down this huge political
dragon, with its feet of clay, its head
of iron. aud its face of brass, so sud-
denly sprung into being, we do not
doubt. A vigorous blow next Octo-
Der will shiver the ill.cemented fabric |
to pieces.

The Floods.

Accounts still reach US ofthe great
destruction of property, South and
West, by the foods in the Mississippi
and tributaries.
A letter from Kaskaskia, Illinois,
says that that place is now submerged
by high water. and that the people
have taken refuge on the Garrison
hill. The freshet is from the Okaw
River, which is all over its banks, the
Mississippi at the srme time heing
very high. Kaskaskia was nearly
cleared ont and destroyed by the great
food Of 1874, and the present freshet
will probably finish the business. Sc
much for the oldest town in the Wes
tern country.
The Okaw River is higher than il
has been for the last twenty yeais.-
Cattle and hogs have been drowned in
great numbers, and two persons, Mr..
Jones and a young lady, both living
near Vandalia, we're swept down by
the angry current and lost.

Death of Senator Henderson,
of TeXas.

! VI 1cAuSs
The telegraph advises us of thu
death of Hon. j. p. Henderson, onc
of the United States Senators from
Texas.
The following proceedings of the
Senate were had on the mournful oc
casion:
WASHINGTON, Saturday, June 5.
Mr.. Houston, Of Texas, announced
the death of his colleague, the Hon,
j. P. Henderson. From his speech
on the occasion we learn that the de-
ceased was born in Lincoln county,
North Carolina, March 81, 1S0S.-
He received liberal education, and
chose the profession of the law, to
which be had always been attached,
and in which he was eminently sue.
cessful.
His health becoming affected, he
went to Cuba. On returning to the
States, he located in Mississippi until
the invasion OF Texas by the Mexi-
cans awakened his energy, and he
did much toward arousing the chival-
ry Of the South. On repairing to
Texas he was appointed Brigadier
General in the Texan Army.
When the army disLanded he re-
tired to private life until called to be

office he retained until vacancy oc-

independence.
He resumed the law until the an.

a member from Augastin county, anC
afterward was elected Governor O

Monterey, and was commissioned to

Of the garrison. lie declined a re,

Since then he was recognized as an
eminent citizen, and on Rusk's death

Mr.. Houston was proceeding to pay

his testimony to the worth and lion

served with him at Monterey.

All Wrong.

There are now two Democratic
tickets in the field in Illinois, much to
the regret Of every sincere friend OF
the party. The friends of Senator
Douglas first nominated one and
passed some very injudiciouS reso'
lutions, in which the friends of the
Administration could hot concur, and
they forthwith called another Conven.
tion. There were other causes which
tended 10 produce this result, one oI
which was a feud between Douglas
and Cook. We are opposed to this
sort of throat-cutting business, and
are glad to observe that the Washing
ton Union and other papers supposed
to understand the views of the Pres.
ident, have advised against it. Per
sonal differences, we think, have more
to do with the present state OF affairs,
than any real difference Of political
opinions. The second Convention
ought not to have been held.

The Tornado nt Ellison, I'M.

The tornado which swept in q mo
ment a village from existence wal
most remarkable. A letter to thC
Monmouth Atlas gives a minute anC
graphic account Of its ravages. ThC
cloud at first was apparently abou
the size Of man and tnnuel.shaped
Nine miles from Ellison it first struch
the ground, demolishing the house O.
Nh. Franklin Foot and killing Mrs
Foot instantly. The cloud then rose
moving east, and struck the house d
David Thompson, blowing a Miss
Rumsey a mile into a slough and
breaking her limbs. Mr.. Thompson
and wife were dangerously injured;
two others were fatally injured. Near
here a traveller ws found in the road
insensible, with his head so badly in
jured that recovery is hopeless. Two
men out hunting saw the cloud strike
woman and take her up, since when
nothing is known OF her. Five miles
west of Ellison the storm struck al
William Thompson's, instantly killing
him and injuring his wife; the cloud
then rose and struck two miles distant
demolishing the house of Mr., John,
son, killing him and his child, and
throwing Mrs. johnson q hundred
yards into creek. The house of Mr.,
Hurd was destroyed, and his wife and
son killed; Mr.. Hurd and another son
dangerously injured.
The cloud rose and next struck Ell.

thirty buildings, of which but two re.

fact t&at the buildings were taken up

of those living in the village before

The houses are leveled to the ground,
their beds and bedding totally destroy

clothing enough to change. | saw
several young men lying bruised, with
broken limbs and features so entirely
