TERRIBLE HURRICANE.-The accounts OF
the effects of the late hurricane 10 the w est
Indies are of the most appalling character
The overflowing waters of the two rivers
which flow on either side of Matanzas lis
land of Cuba), met in the centre OF the
city, causing a fearful destruction OF lite and
property. Out of a population OF forty
thousand more than two thousand are said
to have perished Great damage has also
been done at Cardenas, Matamoras and
Guines The hurricane extended across
the Gulf as far as Florida, and from Key
West we learn that all the lower parts of
the city are flooded, and that all communi-
cation with the upper part is carried on by
means of boats. The various lines of steam
ers have been delayed, the crops seriously
injured, and much anxiety is felt as to the
fate of numerous vessels at sea. The loss
of the steamer Darien and several coasting
vessels is already announced. No such hur'
.ricane has been known for years. 1t far
exceeded that which devastated the Island
of ST. Thomas few years ago. 1t is to be
hoped that further details will prove the
accounts already received to be exaggerated,
but in any case they must be sufficiently
serious.

The Democracy are very much dissatisfied
with the result of the October elections.
The St. Louis RepuJlican says: We
frankly acknowledge disappointment at the
result, which we expected would be far more
favorable. " The Cincinnati Enquirer says:
''The Republicans have a majority OF about
$1,000 in Ohio, having made slight gains in
every quarter" The Chicago Times says;
The niger element came out in full force,
and in some Of the southern districts of Ohio
and Indiana the new made Radical voting
power enabled the niger nursing party to
poll some increased majorities. The Louis
vile Courier Journal says: I'VE have not
looked to these elections with much hope.
The Democrats must pick their fiints and
try it again. There are some gains as mat
ters stand, and those who are prepared for
the present situation have no need for cry

The Press says. The Republicans of Eas-
tern Pennsylvania did nobly in the late
political contest. Formerly the Democratic
majorities came from this section of the
State, but the revolution which began in
1869 has kept on Increasing, until TO-DAY
what but few years ago was the stronghold
of Pennsylvania Democracy has become de-
cisively Republican. Not to speak of the
glorious results in Luzerne and Lehigh, the
changes wrought in Wayne, Monroe, and
other counties in the Eleventh district have
been wonderful. The remarkable growth
of the Republican party in these counties is
especially gratifying. The seat of the great
mining industry, it is an indication that
those engaged indevelopIng our mineral
wealti are being educated up to the advan-
tage of protection. They see It's material
benefits, and appreciate the wise policy of
the Republican party which dictatesit.

A SHOCKING DUEL WITH KNIVES
About sundown on Friday evening two
young men of Alexandria, in order to settle
difficulty that had arisen between them,
armed themselves with knives, and accom-
panied by some of their respective friends
repaired to the grounds around Lockaber,
across the canal locks, where having dotted
their coats, they fought according to the
rules in force in Western Texas previous to
the war. After prolonged conflict, during
which both we're cut and slashed to an ex-
tent that satisfied their friends, they were
separated and carried TO surgeons to have
their wounds dressed. Neither of them
was mortally hurt.

THE WAR NEws.-Nothing of special
importance has occurred for few days in
front of Paris. The Prussians are extreme
ly rigid in their refusal to permit even the
ministers of neutral governments who are
now in Paris to communicate with their
governments except in open communica-
tions. This seems great impropriety, but
is not, perhaps of enough consequence to
require protest. Nothing even is com
municated relative to peace negotiations,
and probably little headway has been made.
The lull in news, however, may be but the
prelude 10 a mass of stirri ng events which
will afford full supply of news Of sufh-
ciently startling character

The Macon tGa.l Telegraph of the 18th
inst, mentions that throughout the whole
cotton belt of Georgia the weather is abso-
lutey lovely, and adds that every one in the
country is busy in gathering cotton-thc
clear sky and genial sun being everything
they ask for in order to secure the crop.
The same paper says that it has learned
upon inquiry, that the planters are promptly
meeting all their paper and that it has not
heard of a single one going to protest, while
few, if any, ask extension.

Republican "DeyiItry.n Eh 2

1t would appear from the following para
graph in the last Republican, that the he
publican party in this Borough committed
a very grave and porderous ofiense against
the generous and Hberalminded Democrat
ic leaders, by nominating a union ticket in
opposition to the regular straight out Dem
ocratic borough ticket:
.TnE AxIMus-The Radicals in this borough
ompleteIy developed their Know n othing devil
try the morning of the late election. They ad
no ticket of their own, and really prevented the
election board from organizing, for two hours so
that their partisans could not vote, tor fear they
would vote the Democratic ticket for borough Off
cerF. large number ef the RAIDS were willing to
vote the Democratic ticket. because the gentlemen
nominated we're unexceptionabIe, except to a few
of the Radical leaders, who objected to three OF
them, solely because they dared to worship God
according to the Constitution-they were Catho-
lies. Hence about IL o'clock the Radical ticket
came forth from the Journal Office reconstructed
with the names of the three gentlemen in question:
struck of. Their sneak thief dodge was SO aPPa
rent even to large portion of their own paru
sans that they felt ashamed Of their nISgers ana
Know Nothin gs, twin relics of national ruin and
skepticsm
But this is only another specimen OF the
re lie able statements which appear in the
Republicdn of late The facts, briefly, are
as follows: 1st, The Republicans had a
ticket OF their own''-a union or mixed
ticket-and a very god one, at that. ID,
The organization of the election board was
DELAYED for short time on account Of the
absence of TIE Republican Inspector, and
the refusal of the second highest candidate
for Judge to serve because he was a candi-
date for Jury Commissioner, and not be-
cause the Republicans were afraid their
friends would vote the Democratic ticket.
Sd, The three names to which reference
Is had, two were changed at the special re-
quest of prominent Democrats, and not at
the instance of Radical leaders 4th,
The Republican tickets were distributed, at
least over part of the town, before eight
clock, on the morning of the election.
THIS is the ''animus" of the Republican
party, an ''animus" which they had per-
feet right to exercise,-a right, which, it is
evident from the above item, the editor OF
the Republican would wrest from the mi
nority in this borough, and trample it under
his feet, if ne had the power; or else why
misrepresent the facts, and question the
privilege of the minority 10 vote for just
such men as they choose? Consistency is q
jewel, George You should not ask priv
ilege which you would deny to others. i
the Republicans did not see fit 10 vote fOl
your nominees, they had perfect right tt
nominate others This is a right granted
them by the Constitution, and under
our free institutions. Whenever you deny
that right, or abridge it, you destroy oul
freedom, create an aristocracy, and reduce
the masses of the people to the condition oi
serfs. But more anon.

On Monday afternoon a n CIV ork police
man observed an individual approaching
him in a most besotted and miserable con-
dition. His face was full of cuts and bruises,
his clothes were torn ard blood stained, and
his whole appearance indicated the misery
of his situation. He was on the point of
filling thrnnuh a n~lar of f"nnsiaarah'n d"rth
and the consequences would in all proba-
bility have been of serious nature. This
miserable creature proved to be Daniel Nc

AMENDING THE STATE CONSTITUTION
The members Of the Union League held
a meeting on Tuesday eve ming, October
18th, in the League House on Broad street,
Philadelphia, for the purpose of consider
ing proposed application to the Legisla
ture for the call of convention to amend
the Constitution of Pennsylvania. A Sc

submitted ly Mr. Gibbons, and after some
remarks by Mr.. G., Mr.. Fraley, MIR. Speak
man, Mr. Wistar, J. Price Wetherill, Esq,
Col. f. 4. Jordan, Secretary of the Com

were adopted. The last resolution contem-
plates the appointment of committee OF

purpose of directing public attention to the
subject, and with authority to confer with
any other committees that may be appoint

General George H. Thomas was at least as
good soldier as Robert Z. Lee. When
General Thomas died, the Democratic jour
mails of this country were extremely econo-
mical in their eulogiums. Now that General
Lee is dead, these Democratic journals are
excessively extravagant in their eulogiums
The reason is, Thomas foughtfor his country,
and Lee did all in his power to subvert our
Constitution and destroy the Union. 1t is
fellow feeling makes those journals SO won

election of the Democratic State ticket,
claims that "the balance of power in the

never scratch" 1t is also worthy of refec-

The Postmaster General has issued an or
der directing pestmasters to deliver pension
letters to the pensioners in person, and not

collected the money often retained the larger

Free-haders are tossing their hats over
the defeat OF Gen. Schenck in Ohio, who is
classed as high protectionist This defeat
is regarded by them as a great victory, an
Endorsement on the part Of the people of
free trade principles. The peculiar circum
stances under which Gen. Schenck accepted
the nomination, after having formally with
drawn from it, are we'll known. At best the
contest was doubtful one Knowing this
TO be fact, the ee-traders made desperate
efforts to defeat General Schenck. The n.
Y. Globe states that British importing
firm in that city gave ten thousand dollars
toward the object, and whisky firm is said
to have contributed the same amount, for
the purpose. If there is anything in such a
victory, the free traders are welcome to it.

wise and honest administration Of President

increased from last year. The vote is eve
