The political and personal record OF
Woodford, the Radical candidate for
Governor of New York, which is gradu-
ally coming to light, shows that he
belongs to the party by instinct. Among
other little weaknesses it is shown that
while United States District Attorney,
in 1861, he was guilty of completely with
slave traders, and in his official capacity
assisted one of their vessels to escape
from the custody of the United States
Marshal. A few months afterward he
had to resign to prevent exposure. The
books of the French Cable Company
show that he received lribe of $4,000
when Lieutenant Governor for lobby
service and other dirty work Of still
more reprehensible nature. Therefore
he is a proper man to carry the Republi-
can standard.
The First District Of this State is
blessed with five candidates for Congress.
First, Hon. James White, the Democratic
nominee, the Roderick Random Butler,
the regular Radical nominee, the Rev.
Hon. N. C. Taylor, W. P Gillenwaters,
and Alf Mckinney, negro, as indie
pendents.
Gen. W. C. Whitthorne, of Mcury,
was nominated at a Democratic Conven-
ton, held at GAINESVILLE Thursday, as a
candidate for Congress from the Sixth
Congressional District. He had no OPP
position.
=sColonel W. F. Wright has been nomi-
mated for Congress by the Democrats of
the Third Georgia district
Governor Bullock, Of Georgia. has
abolished the white sheriff of Bryant
county, and appointed negro in his
place.
There we're forty negro delegates To-
the Louisiana Democratic State Conyen-
ton which met last week, and they par
ticipated fully and equally in the action
thereof.
The Liberals in the Eighth Missouri
district have nominated for Congress
Hon. James G. Blair, staunch Repub-
liean, a man of decided ability, and one
of the most eloquent speakers in the
State.
Hon. Alvin Hawkins (Radical), the
present member of Congress from the
Seventh district in this State, will be the
candidate of his party for reelection.
At Democratic convention held in
Brownsville last Monday, Colonel George
C. Porter was unanimously nominated
to represent the district in the State
Senate.

United States vs. John C. Weaver
Thomas Kelly made an affidavit against the
defendant. charging that, as Registrar OF
the Tenth Ward, he had refused affiant the
privilege Of registering, preparatory to vot-
ing at the next election.
Accused was brought before United States
Commissioner John b. Weller YESTERDAY
1t is charged in the affidavit that Kelly
made application, showed his naturalization
papers, taken out before the United States
District Court in this city, and was refused
by the Registrar, on the alleged ground that
the decree of naturalization was made
during the vacation, and not at the regular
term Of the court.
Upou an informal examination Of the
naturalization papers of one Frank Ham
mer, it was found that his papers were liable
to the same objections, yet he was per-
mitted to register. No formal testimony
was taken. the defendant having waived an
examination, and the case was sent before
the United States District Court.
Sixth District Court.
Judge Cooley was to have held a session
in the Sixth District Court room yesterday,
but. much to the disappointment of the
Judge, officers and assistants. it was found
that the courtroom was in such a disgust
ingly filthy condition that it was unfit to be
used for the purpose for which it was in
tended. The old grass carpet had been
taken up the previous night, the floor re-
mained unswept, and there was an accumn-
lation Of dust upon it, laying around in lit
tie hillOcks and wavelets, resembling the
sands Of the sea shore after being left by
the tide As there was no possibility of
holding court in such place, where the
chairs, benches and tables were covered with
dust, the room of the Third District Court " rs
called into requisition, where a few rules
and orders, of no interest to the public, were
discussed.
The Fourth and Seventh District courts
were also in session for a short time for the
trial Of rules.

Minister Morton Leaves for England
November First-Texas Surveyor Of
Customs Appointed - Texas United
States Observation-Disclosures of Special
Telegram-Lan9uage Attributed to the
President that he Never Uttered.
WASHINGTON, October 5.-Mr. Morton
leaves for London on the first of November.
The following appointments have been
made: Edward 7. Randall Surveyor of
United States Marshal, Western District,
Texas.
. "A special telegram was transmitted hence
ON Monday, purporting to give conversa-
ton with President Grant on that day, and
has been copied into various newspapers.
On the article being shown to the Presi-
dent this morning by the writer of this dis
patch. and in the presence of another visi-
tor, he said he had had no such conversa-
ton with any person on the subject; men
toned, and expressed his surprise that the
publication should have been made. 1t
was probable, however, that he replied to
some one in response to question that he
was in good health, but as to that part of
the telegram in which the writer attributes
to him the remark that Senator Morton
would be here in few days to
receive his final instructions, the
President said he had not even heard
lrOu lIst SlHCt tuC IteSCI . 0p-
peintment as Minister to England and his
going west. Not having been interrogated
on Monday about the claims of our citizens
growing out of the Alabama depredations.
nor with reference to the war in Europe, he
of course could have expressed no opinion,
especially such as that represented.
Apart from the account in the telegraphic
communication. the President said he ap
proved of Minister Washburn's official con
duct as reported to the government. So far
from uttering doubt, as alleged, with
reference to the Prussians being able to
capture Paris, he to-day expressed the
opinion that they would be successful, judg
ing by all the military circumstances.
Some guesses have been made that Sena-
tor Williams, of Oregon, would be ap-
pointed Solicitor General. For these there
were no foundation whatever. The Presi-
dents preference is for Colonel BristOw, of
Kentucky, who was soldier in the late
war, and who has occupied a prominent
legal position in that State. The appoint
ment, however, will not be made in the ab
sence of Attorney General Aker1nan, to
whose department such officer is attached
under the recent law and with whom the
President will confer before final action up
ON the subject.

The Fre.het on the Potomac.

We publish the followin. American Press
Association dispatch. which gives details
we have not before had:
BALTIMORE, October There is another
disastrous freshet on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, almost equal lng the flood of
1852. in tine destruction of property, and
surprising il in destruction OF life. For
two days rains along the Potomac river
have been very heavy, and yesterday even
ing the water began to rise, and about 8
p NJ. apprehensiOns were yn the minds of
all, that the bridges would BIZ washed away.
The water rose rapidly, and poured in be-
tween the island in the Shenandoah river
and the main land opposite london heights.
About midnight it reached the height OF the
island, accompanied by a -four mill and
about twenty or twenty-five dwelling
houses. Owing to the rapid rising of the
water and the darkness. manly females were
unable to make their escape from the
houses in such a short space OF time, and
the water swept over the whole island from
ten to fifteen feet in depth, carrying every
thing before it. Only few of the most
substantial houses. and a Lar &c brick -four
ing mill, are left standing.
The scene this morning ht daylight was
heart-rending. A number bf houses, with
their inmates, We're washed into the river.
In several dwellings yet standing, men.
women and children were screaming ana
pleading for assistance. In one OF them an
old lady died during the night. Owing to a
very swift current. no boat could be used,
and during the day one or more dwellings
went down the river, hurlilt tg their terrified
inmates to and fro till they were engulphed
in the angry waters.
A rope, with a basket attached, was
rugged up to one house containing seven
teen people, who all got opt safely. Just
before dark, feeling Of terror thrilled the
multitude of spectators, VIII In little infant
was placed in the basket Wi }hout being tied.
When about halfway do wn the basket
tilted, and the little innocct pit rolled over to
the edge. A moment morP and it would
have been launched into eternity, but by Il
skillful movement of the Fope the basket
was thrown into level pRs ition, and the
child safely landed into the boat.
The total number OF lives lost is estimated
at thirty to forty. Ten bbdies have been
recovercd several miles ddwn the stream,
near Berlin,
