A REMARKABLE FAoT-That the name Of
the venerable Thurlow Weed does not appear,
so far, in the alleged affiliations Of the late

formly have the advantage on q short vote,
they may carry Pennsylvania this year as they
did in 1862 and 1867; but what will such
victories sgnify2 They win signify no more
in reference to 1872 than did those delusive
democratic victories of 1862 in reference to
the Presidential issue Of 1864; or they will be
no more guide in reference to the Presiden-
tial succession than were those local elections
which went by default for the democrats, in
1867. In calling Boutwell, to their assistance
1t is evident that the Pennsylvania republicans
feel shaky, and the democrats In their standard
bearer, Packer, said to be worth twenty mil
lions in greenbacks, have powerful candi-
date. Geary has glory on his side but Packer
has the money; and in a merely local election
it is the money that brings out the distant
votes. The argument of the Secretary Of the
Treasury, in any event. will not amount to
much in determining this election or its conse-
Gueuces. He has only been straining point
for Geary, with the admission that Geary is In
danger of defeat.

extracts which throw considerable light upoa
the antecedents of the p ,sident's brother-in-

thus furnished goes strongly to show that ia

rhs Late Rs.iu.c.,.I I. Maine.

The tremendous equinoctial storm which
seemed to have spent Its full force upon this
city week ago yesterday reappeared at East
port, in Maine. on Monday night, in the form
Of destructive hurricane. In Eastport alone
1t destroyed more than half million dollars'
worth Of property, and the towns of Lubec,
Pembroke and Perry were heavily damaged
by it. Numerous vessels were wrecked along
the coast, in at least two instances with loss
lost, with all on board, seventeen in number.
Twenty-seven vessels were driven ashore at
Rumneys Bay. A great freshet also occurred
In Swift river, a tributary of the Androscog-
gin, sweeping away mill dams, overfowing the
riparian farms and destroying houses and
barns. We have already recorded the losses
occasioned in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
by the fury Of the late storm, which dros,
a terrible tide up the Bay OF Fundy,
and destroyed wharves, bridges, dikes, ves-
sells, houses, barns, telegraphs and railways.
Perhaps tho equlnoctial. which has thus
reached the northeastern part of Maine and
the borders of New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia, after sweeping northward from Viz
ginia along the Atlantic coast with heavier
rainfall than any previous storm Of the nine
teenth century, may not extend much further.
We have carefully given the details of lts
progress in the hope that the attention Of sol
entifc men may be specially directed to the
importance Of continuing to study the Law OF
storms. Enough certainly must have been
learned about it since the days Of the twenty
Greek savans, whose observations on storms
are mentioned by Pliny, to make it possible to
devise system of storm signals that shall
save millions of property both on shore and al
sea during the equinoctial season.
