TIE REPUBLICAN, STATE
TLGKEI.

We place at the head of our columns
this week the excellent State Ticket
nominated at the Republican State
Convention held at Madison on Wednes-
ay last, August Both. In presenting
this ticket, with the sound and able
platform adopted by the Convention,
10 the voters Of Wisconsin,, the Repub
licans Of the State have taken 10 new
departure, but have kept steadily in
view the vital principles which have
always governed the Republican party,
and through which the best interests Of
the nation have been promoted.
Oar nominee for Governor, General
c. G. WasLburn, Of Lacrosse, is one of
the best men ever presented to the
people cf t5e State for that Office. Gen.
Washbara ts possessed of all the sterl-
ne qualities So essential in making UP
firm and reliable executive. lie is a
man Of fine ability, sound judgment
sud perfect integrity, and that he will
FL the responsible position Of Gov
eruor to tie satisfaction Of the people
and with an eye single to the general
welfare of the entire State, cannot be
questioned. The past record Of Gen,
Washburn justifes rs in promising SO
much for his future career at the head
Of our State government. We do not
however, deem it necessary to speak at
this time Of the varied public services of
Gen. Washburn to the state and nation.
but suffice it to say that IN any capacity
in which he has been tried he has always
proved himself true and faithful rep
resentative of Republicanism and
warm advocate Of the great principles
underlying the party
For the Office Of Lieut.. Governor
Hon Milton II Petit, of Kenosha,
was placed in nomination. Mr. Petit
is the present State Senator from Ke
nosha county, and is said to be well ft-
ted for the position Of Lieut.. Governor
The balance Of the ticket is composed
Of the present incumbcnts who were re-
nominated mainly BY acclamation, a fit
ting and deserving compliment to set
of officers who have shown themselves
able and efficient, and have been faith
ful in the discharge Of the duties devolv-
ing upon them In al respects the
ticket is worthy the earnest support
of every Republican. Let US all, then,
work from now until the day of election
with untirisg zeal, that the Democracy
may be taught a lesson that they viii
not forget very soon.
The Democrats are bold and defiant,
and intend making their canvass in
Wisconsin this fall, if possible, step
ping stone towards carrying the State
at the next Presidential election. Re
pubIcans must set all such pretensions
at rest by rolling up such a majority
for their State ticket as TO Thoroughly
demoralize the Democracy, and con-
vince them that the Badger State is
Republican to the core, and does not
intend to change her position in the
bright constellation of reliable Repub-
lican States.

TIE ISLAND OF ST. THOMAS
AGAIN DEVASTATED.

A despatch from St. Thomas dated
August %, Is as follows.
Another hurricane has swept over
this unfortunate island, soverturning
every house and leaving the place in
ruins. Yesterday 1t about | a 10, a
gale broke from the east, shortly after
ward shifting to the northeast, from
which point it blew more fiercely until
noon, when the wind veered round slow
ly to the north and fell upon the island
in terrible hurricane 1t then shifted
to the northwest and blew with great
violence until : p, M, when there
cane a lull which lasted until p. m.
At this hour the hurricane again swept
over the island from the south, but its
duration was not as long as on the pre-
vious visit nor was It's violence so great.
It's term ofthe greatest fury lasted only
two hours Closely following in the
wake of the hurricane came an awful
gale from the south and southeast which
ragged for several hours. During the
hurricane in the afternoon several
shocks Of earthquake rendered more
dreadful the situation of the people,
who were hearing overhead the crash
Of roofs torn by the hurricane, and
obliged to feel at the same time under
foot the foundation of the their shelters
shaken by the earthquake. Hundreds
of dwellings have been swept away and
not q house has been standing uudamag-
ed on this distressed island. Some 6,
600 people have been left houseiess
and destitute and nearly $50 persons
We're killed and manglcd or disabled by
houses blown down or bricks and tiles
flying thickly all around during the
hurricane. Already some thirty corpses
have been dragged from under the
ruins, which in the shape of trees,
fences, shattered houses, and heaps Of
bricks and tiles, strewn throughout
offer a sight of perfect desoation.
There are no casualties to report bout
the shipping here with the exception of
British bark loaded with sugar aud
riding at anchor at the mouth of this
harbor, which broke loose and went
adrift toward the rocks in the channel
and, it is said, has become total wreck
Two French steamers recently arrived
here, drifted about and got fast aground
but the English steamers Corsica, Tyne
and Della, as we'll as the American
steamer Florida. at anchor here wealth
cred the storm handsomely, the latter,
however, having to cut down her masts
to save her. The island Of ST. Kits is
said to be in ruins, as it was caught
first by the hurricane which has just
NASSAU over here.

WHAT DEMOCRATIC RULE Is
DOING For ALABAMA-Eig1t months
ago the Democrats obtained control Of
the administration of State affairs in
Alabama. The results are thus shown
by the Montgomery State Journal
"The Republican administration in
Alabama paid the SUM of 100000 to
close up the failures Of the Patton So
called Democratic administration in this
State. The Republican administration
in Alabama paid the States interest,
paid the school teachers and settled up
over $4,000 Of warraats contracted
by the Patton administration and closed
tie books with clear balance in the
treasury of $40, 900, which was turned
over to the Lindsay Hodgson so.called
Democratic government. To-day the
treasury is bankrupt and Alabama paper
is being bought up at discount of
rs per cent. on school warrants. Eight
months Of Democratic sway has run
the credit Of Alabama into suspicion,
and the State Treasurer publicly states
and publishes that Lindsay HodgsoL
cannot pay school teachers"

BARNUM OUTDONE.

If Mr.. P. A. Krise, of Lynchburg, who
doubtless. as broker, is interested in the
Funding Bill, has done nothing else, he has
succeeded in getting himself and his bust
ness pretty thoroughly advertised. lie is
equal in astuteness to the great humbug
Barnum, who unclaimed hungry hyena
and induced him to gulp down the best por-
ton of pony and camel, in order that he
might have his grand geological combina-
ton extensively advertised. ~
No one can doubt the interest felt by
money-shavers in the success of Governor
Walkers Norfolk policy, and of course
they would not hesitate to picture their
side Of the question in magnificent colors.
Mr.. Krise is no exception to the rule, and
if his exhibit is worth anything, it is only
to himself. His statement that nearly
$40, 900 of $3.50, 900 funded through him,
belongs to Virginia widows and orphans,n
is tale We don't swallow very kindly,
and which We are disposed to doubt. We
expect Mr.. X. considers the brokers

ANOTHER homicide at Norfolk leads us
to ask why it is that some laws on our
statute books are enforced with inquisito-
rial rigor and others allowed to become
dead letter.
We have law prescribing a penalty to
be enforced against any person carrying
concealed deadly weapons, yet it is noto-
rionsly disregarded and day after day we
are called upon to chronicle the shooting of
some person by violator of this plain
statute, which was enacted in the interest
of order and civilization.
We have failed, however, to note a sim
gle presentment or prosecution for this Of
tense, and the officers of the law appear
as blissfully ignorant of the fact that il is
unlawful to carry concealed deadly weapons,
as the law-breakers are themselves.
We have, however, another law, pre-
scrlblng that nonresident merchants shall
pay certain sum into the public treasury
before they may call upon business cor
respondent at his place of business and
the mtiring energy with which this law is
-eSecuted, would reflect honor upon Cerbc-
rus and Rhadamanthus combined.
Before the ink is dry with which the
business visitor to Richmond has entered

Gent volunteer officials and il, after he
has refreshed his inner man, he strolls out

WILL one Of the oldest inhabitants inform us
whether the State ever had 81, sOO,00o in the
Treasury before on the first of January 7--Rich-
naond Enquirer. -fl'
Not being one of the "oldest inhabitants"
we are forbidden, by'.our natural modesty,
to intrude the easy reply to above query.
Will the Enquirer inform us what re-
suits it can obtain from the following pro-
position, worked out by ordinary mot cur
rent extraordinary arithmetical calcula-
tons?
Suppose interest, at per cent. per an
mum on s3l 100000 is duly provided for
by tax levy, and paid into the treasury for
two consecutive years, but no interest ac-
tually paid; what sum would be in the
treasury at the expiration of the two
years? Answer by ordinary rule Of arith-
metic we take to be SO, $4,000.
Now, if financiers with whom the oldest
inhabitants are familiar, had managed the
State finances on the new school (Eaquircr)
plan, they would have had $500, OO0+
81, 92o, OOO=$3, 100000 in the Treasury !;
but they were too wise in their generation
to commit any. such folly, and too honest
to attempt to deceive the people by trying
to impose this two years. hoard upon them
as one years income.
But it was not in this aspect we proposed
to alludc to the Enquirer's proposition; it
was to refer to the improvement in tho
system of tax collection, under tho new
county organization, over the former mode
of collection by shcrifs. Taxes were
never collected so close at this period of
the fiscal year; and when we reflect that
the people have seldom, if ever, been less
prepared to make prompt payment to col
lecting officers, the superiority Of the sys-
tenn becomes clearly apparent.
1t appears at present to DO considered
"short cut" to popular notoriety to offer
amendments to the institution. When
experience has fully developed the advan-
tages of other provisions of the Constitution,
as it has of county organization, the en-
thusasm of these rapid reactionists will
probably cool down, and they will devote
their energies to facilitating its workings, in;
stead of doing all they can to throw it out
of gear, or if their zeal for time honored
institutions burns with irrepressiblc fires,
let them temper it with discretion.
