well ; it was the offended law of the statute
book pronouncing itself through its techni-
cal organs. But the public opinion of the
American people is rendering more i'm
posing and a more crushing verdict in
another form. California echoes to
Maine, Pennsylvania seconds Ohio, in
repudiating that Democracy which has
sought to perpetuate its power in the
South by means of the secret con-
spiracy and foul transactions of the
"Invincible Empire" These elections pro-
claim that the act of Congress designed for
the determination of the 'Empire" is
necessary and proper for carrying into
execution the powers granted by the ma
tional constitution and that the party re-
sponsible for the iniquities of the EN-
pire" has forfeited all claims to the conf
dence and support of the American peo-
pie.

AN HOUR OF TERROR. night
about o'clock severe storm of wind sud-
denly fell upon the city. Houses and trees
creaked and swayed, and the streets being
dry and very dusty, most wild and terri
BILE scene was presented. Clouds of dust,
leaves, twigs and great branches of trees
filled the air. People in the streets seemed
panic-stricken, and even the poor horses
and other animals became frantic with
fright at the sudden and terrible scene
around them.
To add to the terror of the hour, an
alarm of fire was sounded. This brought
hundreds Of people already quite excited
by the dreadful disaster at Chicago, into
the streets, fearful that our fair city might
also become the prey Of the fire tiend.
They ran hither and thither through the
binding dust, each eagerly inquiring,
"Where is the fire ?"
Happily no conhagration lent its terror
to the occasion, and the excitement soon
subsided, as did also the violent wind. ~
gentle rain ensued, and the city assumed
its wonted peaceful appearance.
