TREMENDOUS HAIL STORM The
hail storm which passed over this
county on Sunday last was the heavi-
est visitation of its kind within the
recollection Of the oldest inhabilant.
Some of the hailstones were as large
as hen eggs, and dangerous to man or
beast. A man named Johnston, in
Canal township, was knocked sense.
less while holding his horse, and
another, whose name we did not hear,
was knocked down. The belt of coun-
try occupied by the storm is from FIVE
to eight miles in width, extending
from east to west. The destruction
Of the crops along this belt is almost
complete. Corn and oats are lying
fat-the oats threshed und corn ears
torn from the stalks. Buckwheat is
also exterminated. A report from
Tionesta represents the damage as
great in that region. Tionesta creek
rose two feet in two hours. The rice
in the Allegheny was some twenty
inches on Saturday night, but on
Tuesday the river had settled to low
water bearings. The pelting of the
hail is described by those who had a
front view, and were outdoors, as
terrific. The roar Of the storm was
distinctly heard in this borough, but
we received very little hail. For sew
eral minutes the rumbling was like
the passing of heavy train of cars

Nothing 80 much worries the party
of groat moral ideas, as the possibility
that the Freedmen, under the new
order of things, will insist upon run
ming rs candidates for Congress, MAY.
ors, Aldermen, etc. That Is something
the white radicals have not bargained
for, and as they want all the offices
for themselves, their apprehonsions
as TO colorod competition is easily un-
derstood. They are willing enough
to confer upon the negro the right of
suffrage, but they are unwilling that
that right should be exercised so as
to interfere with their monopoly of
the emoluments of office. The colored
man, however, we see, begins to APP
preciate this manifestation of selfish.
ness on the part of the "mean whites"
and we are not surprised, therefore,
that they should be taking the proper
measures TO counteract il. The col.
ored gentlemen, J. j. Wright, who
got up in the South Carolina Radical
Convention, the other day, and insis-
ted upon naming one of his race as a
proper candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency of the United States, had an
intelligent perception Of the neces-
stiles of the situation. And that
other colored gentleman, who is run
ming in Palmettodom as a candidate
for Congress, must likewise be anima-
ted by the true spirit of progress, and
a commendable solicitude for the true
interests of his race. And the same
may be said of the equally enterpri-
sing Africans who are getting them
selves placed on the police, and in
other civil offices, at Richmond, Sa-
vannah, New Orleans, etc To weak
en- the moral effect of these tendencies,
we see, the Radical wire-pullers here
are causing TO be published letters pur-
porting TO be from colored men here
and there, disavowing any desire to
hold Office, and calling upon their col
ored brethren to abstain from giving
their ambition that turn. These let
ters, there is every reason to believe,
are bogus, and gotten up expressly
to deceive The radical leaders are
up to all that kind of sharp practice,
and the "colored brethren" hence had
better be on their guard.-ErpresS.

The Buffalo Courier is led to the
belief that j. Wilkes Booth is still
alive. 1t gives several reasons for the
opinion, among which is the statement
that few weeks ago a gentleman Of
undoubted veracity, who has been a
wide traveller, called at the office, and
after conversing for some time about
the authenticity of the Booth diary,
brought into court at the trial of Sur
ratt, finally said 81 know ]. Wilkes

utterance seemed to annoy the gen.

An old preacher in Western New
York, who was being urged by some
of his churchmen, during the political
excitement in that State, last fall, to
join the Radical party, said:
ono, my brethren, can't join that
party, because all the Aboltionists in
the country are in it.; and Abolition
ism, my brethren, has done a wonder
ful sight of harm among the people
1t has hurt many shepherds and scat
tered many iocks. 1t got into the
Methodist church and broke that up
1t got in among the Presbyterians
and split them in two; and got into
the Government and broke the old
Union to pieces. And, my brethren,
1 don't know of anything it is good
for but to break up. Ifyou have any
enmity against the old boy, l advise
you to send Aboltionism into his do
minions, and it will break up he'll itself

The only way for a Republican
people to live, or, for a Republic to
live, is to discharge all obligations,
and the first and greatest debt, is the
oath of the administrators of the Gov

it breaks away from all other obliga-

There would be two hundred and
forty members of the House of Repre-
sentatives if all the members from all
the States were present. Of these,
only one hundred members voted to
pass the despotism bill over the veto.
As two-thirds vote, or one hundred
and sixty odd members, are required
TO reject veto, il becomes more fully
apparent what a miserable Rump now
controls the destinios Of the country.
