a long interview with President johnson.
1t is learned from high and reliable

South and the prospective nominations to
be made at New York by the Democratic
Convention next month, formed the con.
versation between the President and the
Chief Justice. Since the name of Chase

Democratic nomination, Mr.. johnson has
taken an unusual interest in the proposed
convention. He has frequently expressed
his preference for Chase to those who in

candidates. During the conversation. last
evening the President frankly expressed
hope that the Democratic Convention
would have the wisdom and policy to
nominate Chase. If this was done. he
(Johnson) would do his utmost to secure
the success of the ticket. The Chief
Justice thanked the President for bis
kindness, and expressed his willingness to
accept the nomination on platform. EN-.

The dinner was served in thirteen courses,

ACCIDENT AT MADISON.

We learn from the Madison Journal OF
the 10th inst, the following sparticulars
OF serious accident which occurred at
the New Court House Building:
" orkmen were engaged in moving a
heavy derrick, used for hosting ard
moving stone, from ore Epart of the shed
used by the stone cutters, to another.
Unfortunately the guy ropes, used to keep
Il, In position, were SO wet and slippery,
that 1t got beyond the control of those
handling it, and the heavy timber fell
over upon the temporary shed under
which a large number of mea were en-
gagged IN cutting stone, crushing down
about sixty feet of it. The fall Of the
timber was retarded somewhat by those

consequences to 9th ers were less serious
than they would have been, had the
heavy weight fallen more suddenly, the
alarm given too, sahaving caused all to

were working.
Several Of the men were caught under
the fallen timbers, and besides two OF
three only slightly bruised, the following

KEEP POSTED!

Let Republicans keep we'll up in the
political literature. Read campaign do
cuments. Take some good campaign pa
per as tae New York Tribune, and be at
a little pains to keep posted, or even good
deal of pains. Read the speeches of your
best men, mere buncombe splurges need
not be meddled with except as you may
wish to kindle a fire. Look up tables of
statistics, and post yourselves on qpes-
tions of finance, for rely on it that just
here on this finance question, Democratic
orators and papers may be expected to do
a vast amount of lying.
Study the character of your opponents
candidates and do not fear to tell the
truth, but see to it you tell the truth,
don't let us sully our victory by false
hood. Look out sharp for the vulnerable
points in the opposition, and direct well
aimed and incsssant fire at those sore
spots. Read up the personal history Of
our ocn candidates especially that of
Grant, for depend on it, calumies about
him will be thick as blackberries down
south. Those who can get access to
Hreeleys History of the Rebellion would
do we'll to do SO, twill make an excellent
campaign document, and will be especial.

TERRIBLE STORM IN WISCONSIN
rFrom the Madison journal, June III

fFrou the Madison journal, June IT.
From Col. John c. Clark, of Lancaster,
Grant county, we regret to learn thet that
section was visited by a severe storm,
which might we'll be regarded tornado,
on Sunday.
The Colonel says that he has never wit
messed anything Ike it iii his residence OF
nearly quarter of a century IN South
western Wisconsin.
The wind blow violent gale, bail fell
like rain, some two inches i'll depth, of
stones from the size of a pigeons egg
down, and the water came down In per-
feet hoods to depth OF fully four or FIVE
inches, while the vivid play of the light
nings and the sharp crack of the thunder
combined to make scene of terror. The
destruction of property 10 Lancaster and
through the comparatively narrow scope
of country, where the storm ragged in its
utmost fury, was very great.
A large brick school-house, two stories
high. above stone basement, nearly fin
ished ready for occupancy and costing
some SIT 900 was totally destroyed, the
wall on one side being thrown down 70
the foundation, and the other side to the
first foor-roof, floors, and walls mingled
in one common ruin. The building, how
ever, was imperfectly constructed, and
the citizens of Lancaster take some con-
ISOLATION in the loss of their school edifce
from the fact that it might have fallen at
another time when full of children to be
victims.
Trees were uprooted or their limbs
torn off by the gale; grapes, fruit trees,
and shrubbery stripped almost naked, the
growing grain beaten down. washed out,
or buried up, and the fair promise of gar
den and field almost utterly blighted.
Hail was piled up in some places three
feet deep, and furnished coolers five or
six hours afterward. Scarcely building
in the place except the court house,
where the glass was simply puttied in,
escaped shattered windows.
The whole surface of the ground, ex-
cept the ridges, was like vast lake.
Little hollows became channels for rag
ing torrents, and small streams were swol-
len to roaring rivers. Fences, which had
| stood for twenty years, we've carried off,
Solid bridges, never before Threatened,
were carried away. A kiln Of 100000
brick was scattered far and wide, and
many other instances might be given of
thu. destructive power of the storm
Another heavy rain fell on Monday,
which I'D not improve the condition of
affairs, and when Col. Clerk left that
night, the full extent of the damage was
not known.
The people were feeling very much dis.
couraged over their losses and blighted
prospects for the season; but we doubt
no. that with their wonted courage and
energy they will go to work and make
the best of it.
