Il EFFECrs OF TEE H6roHM.=The rain storm ani
high wind OF Sunday night caused some little dam
age 40 property in the city. On East Bay ant
along the exposed streets the cellars were soor
filed with water, which will cause the owners some
time and trouble to remove. DAN CAsrELIo's large
sign-board in Meeting street has decided inclina
tion toward the pavement and has been shorn o.
Of it's glories by the rough usage 1t has expe
rienced. The streets have received thorough
washing, and the dust has been eectually laid 20,
few days, but the exoavated lots and open cellars
| in the burnt district have been transformed into
small ponds, which are neither useful or orna-
mental. On the Bay, the storm was felt in its full
power. The Dictator, which arrived on Sunday
night, reported rough weather outside, and the
Pilot Boy, which should have left yesterday morn.
ing, was compelled to put back on account Of the
storm.

but statistics show that cotton manufactures have
been largely developed in the last few years in the
Northwest, and upon the basis Of one and-a-half
cents per pound to Cincinnati, as central distri-

THE LATE RAIN-That time-honored individual
the 'sodest inhabitant," was unable to recollect
fiercer or more continuous rain than the one that
deluged our city on Sunday night. The fall of
water was unusually heavy, and is estimated by
the rain guage Of the City Registrar to have been
| four inches 30-1OO. This amount Of water, added
to the spring tide, which was then at it's height
caused many of the streets bordering onthe rivers
TO be submerged, and rendered passage OF the
stream almost impossible. In the Eastern portion
OF the city the low places North of Larens street
were soon under water, Vernon, Inspection, and
the terminus Of Calhoun streets being completely
| covered. At the latter point scarcely any tlry
land was visible from Washington street to Tho
river, and the depth Of the food varied from few
| inches to nearly three feet In other sections of
the city, and wherever the tide had any influence.
the water covered both the street and the side
walk, ana In many instances it was necessary to
clear the choked CRATES before it could be carried
of by the drains. At the lower portion of Market
street. near East Bay, the drains were soon filed
and the water rose to some height. During the
early part Of the morning number of neproes
collected around the crossings, and for some time
| the colored Charons did brisk trade by CARRYING
over passengers on their shoulders at ten cen ia
per head.
MAYORS CoURT.-One Of Afric's sable sons
whose understanding was deficient, sought to
remedy the evil by appropriating shoe leather be-
longing to Messrs. d. ONEn Il Son. Unfortunate
ly for him he was observed and captured his booty
secured, and quarters assigned him where, for ff-
teen days. he can luxuriate on bread and water
and curse the fckle jade fortune.
-Four noble drinkists who were firm believers in
bottled spirits, started out in different sections or
the town. but though divided in person, their pur-
poses were one They were filed with the same
high aspirations, and proceeded solemny to carry
out the same programme. The first nip was
merely an eye-opener, but the second closed the
optic, and left the owner in muddled state
Of uncertainty as to his whereabouts. Fortunately
there is in our city class Of men who devote their
time to such cases, and the immortal quartette we're
raised from the mud and taken 10 the Head Centre
of the order. Their sympathies and tastes were
in such unison that they were ordered to form a
Union League party, and were made TO pay the en-
trance fee Of SIS each immediately
colored Zantippe caught her iege lord by the
wool, and jerked him about until he yelled murder.
His cries alarmed the police, who rescued him
from her clutches, and she was fined $5 for con-

RADICAL DELEGATES TO THE CoNvENT1oN-Meet-
ings were held last night by the smembers of the
Union Republican party" in this city, to elect dele
gates who should put in nomination nine delegates
to represent this District in the anticipated Con.
vention. The meetings were but poorly attended
and the proceedings were not characterised by any
extreme confusion. A general programme had
evidently been prepared, and the machinery work.
cd with gratifying smoothness.
When each meeting had organized, long circu-
lar was read from the State Central Committee.
which explained the mode Of action that was to be
adopted. The principal points were, that the
colored people should be Industrious and united:
that they should denounce any opponent Of their
party; that they should be secret in all their pro.
ceedings, and work with o win for the exaltation
OF Rsdicalism. 1t was provided that the ballots
