the organization of the fenian brotherhood was
intended for other purposes than to subserve the

of sectional hatred. can forgive much TO such
men, but cannot forget the rapacity with which
they have absorbed every position of profit OF

THE GREAT STORM.

For nearly three weeks we have had rain
every day, and the 18th 18th and 10Th it
rained almost necessarily, extending over
nearly all the western states, The damage
done is estimated by millions. In many
places it seems almost certain that the corn
crop cannot recover from 80 much wet and
cold weather. Not only is the country dam
aged in the direction of growing crops, but
the season of state and county fairs has been
greatly interfered with. Taken with refer
enoe to the mischief they have inflicted upon
the crops, upon fairs, upon railroads, and In
many other directions, the rains have been
the most disastrous that have visited the
country in q long time.
The greatest damage seems to have been
done in Ohio and Indiana, where the railroad
srains are nearly all stopped. All communl-
cation, by railroad, between Cincinnati, and
Dayton, indianapolis and Chicago has been
cut off, The town of McPhersonville, o..
opposite Dayton was ten feet under water.
Thousands of acres of corn are completely
submerged: The damage can be estimated
only by millions.

The organization of the G. a. r. Is po
litical one, proved to be such by every aot.-
1t has called a meeting here, On the Goth and
eth inst. and advertised Logan, Haynie,
Palmer, Hurlbut and Cook, of this state ;
Stone, Leake, 60, Of Iowa, and Fletcher and
and McNeal, of Missouri, to speak. They
are all radicals and tho meeting is political
one TO try and make votes for one of the
speakers (Logan) who is running for Office
in this state. 1t is also gotten up to help the
radicals in this county,-and yet they have
the assurance to go among our democratic
business men to beg money to pay their ex-
penses.
They have also written to the chief of our
fire department., asking the firemen to turn
out, as an organization, in uniform &c. &c.,
on that day, to help swell their procession,
This is a new idea, to ask the firemen, as an
organization. to take part in political meet
ings, and if they do 50, it will be very likely
to injure the efficiency and usefulness of the
fire department of our city. We presume
democratic frsmen would have no great OBJ
lection to turning out to republican meet
ing, procided republican firemen will agree
to do the same thing when Col, Dickey comes
here on the ODD of next month Still, we
think it would be for the harmony, peace,
and usefulness of our fire department to keep
politics out of it's doings.

By going carefully over the list of "distin-
guished southern loyalists" who are follow
ing up the track of the President, IL will be
found that the number of genuine southern
ors IN the party is to the number OF renegade
northerners and cotton stealing purltans,
what zero is to infinitude. All OF them, 1t
will be found, have not yet lost the habit OF
uttering pious phrases through their noses
and of trading jack knives when there is of
fered no better opportunity for swindling.-
Three fourths of them browsed in their in
fancy within the shadow of the Green Noun
tains, and were spanked in their school davs
by New England school marms. The other
fourth have gained q residence In the south
by being drawn thither as afording a better
opening for confidence men, or else they
have found the south, despite its heats, q
cooler place as q residence than the north

swindling puritans on their travels, or north

THE BAND OF UNION IN THE WAR

General Thomas Ewing, of Kansas, in II
speech before the soldiers and sailors' con-
venton in Cleveland, well and forcibly stated
the band of union between the various parties
of real patriots during the war and especial
~ among those who were fighting for the
country, whom he said:
The President called upon the people to
come forward and suppress the revolt The
call was promptly responded to by democrats,
republicans and Bell and Everett men, and
after four years of war the rebellion was
suppressed. What bound us together in that
ccniilcs OF arms3 Not hatred Of slavery, for
ON that question we differed. Not love of
war, for we all desired peace. Not bat,ad If
the southern people, for they were our coun.
trymen. No; it was O question of national;.
ty-the determination that the Union shonld
be preserved and made perpetual. That was
the only purpose of the war known or recop
nized by the army and navy of the United
States. That was the sentiment that raised
all our armies, and the soul of them all,
whether army or navy.

the truth of which is notorious, as that the
radicals used 60 call John A. Logon Dirty
Work Logan" before ne became a renegade
from the democratic party
John A. Logan did, in the early stage of
the rebellion, persuade men, or youth, In
Southern Illinois,to enter the rebel service as
soldiers and a number OF men or youths,
90 persuaded, did enter that ssrviee. lie did
denounce Stephen A. Douglas as traitor,
because Douglas took sides against the rebel
lion; ana he declared that Douglas, by so
doing, had sold out the democratic party ;
but by Cd he couldn't deliver them lie,
the said Logan. after persuading men or
youths to enter the rebel service to shoot I'm
ion soldiers, turned around and lead Union
soldiers to shoot the men or youths whom ne
thus betrayed. John A. Logan did attend
public meetings in Southern Illinois at which
the following resolutions were adopted, and
| be gave Thorn his countenance and support,
| to wit.
SCI. We are opposed to arming and organizing

''2. We opposed to our legislature V0t-

We therefore charge that John A. Logar

that he persuaded men to enlist in the reoe
, army, and after they had enlisted, he turned
traitor to those who took his advice and LEI
on other soldiers to kill those whom he had be
