From Harper's Weekly.l
A La Liberal Republican.

In describing the late assembly of merce
nary minions at Philadelphia, in which the
representatives of once proud and free peo-
pie abject.y registered the edict of the gloomy
tyrant Ct the White house for his own renon-
nation, the base penny-a-liners of a subsi-
dised press have filled their venal sheets with
reports of an enthusiasm and unanimity which
are sickening to sincere lovers of their kind
and apostles of political purity like certain
Cincinnati patriots who shall be modestly
anonymous. These wretched scribblers know
full well that, in the sweet words of the good
old sage of Chappaqua, they lie, the villains I;
they lie, and they know that they lie. The
enthusiasm was CHASTITY pretence. The
nnanimity was bought-and at price which
the apostles of purity would despse. The
Philadelphia delegates went as slaves scourg-
ed to their dungeons, and sullenly did their
masters bidding.
What is more notorious in the state of New
York, for instance, than that Gerrit Smith is
the mere flexible tool of that political fiend
incarcate, 'Tom Murphy?' What child does
not know that Martin l. Townsend is the
henchman of Surveyor Cornell? There were
William E. Dodge, also, and John A. King,
and Augustus Weissman, and Salem H.
Wales, and Carter Wilder, and how many
more! Do the wretched scribblers call them
independent men? Do they not know that
they are all postmasters and tide-waiters
that they are all, as it were, strung upon
string? that the remorseless monster who
shall be otherwise nameless carries them in
his detestable pocket? Quanadiu Doninef
How many of these praise-makers, who
have attempted to manufacture enthusiasm
| for this custom house squad that call them
| selves the Republican party-which party, as
everybody knows, is going to be truly repre-
sented at Baltimore and nominate the hon
| est old truth-chopper-how many of them,
| we ask in the name of an indignant and op-
pressed country, have been promised places
| in that same custom-house? o nepotism!
| where is thy blush? Let the country, how
ever, be calm. A virtuous press has its ter
rbe eye upon these fellews-the same re-
markabe eye which detected in the triumph
of "bummers'' at Cincinnati a great moral
revolution.
To speak still more seriously, however: Al
though the Philadelphia tailors of Tooley
street have according to General Grants Or
der of the day, and the imperial ukase coun-
tersigned by the military ring, suggested that
he has been of some service to the nation,
and although Gerrit Smith, at sign from his
master, Murphy, spoke of the victor of Ap-
pomattox as a saviour of the country, every

AN INDIAN DELUGE.-Bombay papers
give an account of a terrific cyclone which
occurred at Madras the first week in NAV,
sweeping inland as far as Vellore, destroying
one thousand lives, leaving two thousand
people homeless, and three thousand more
destitute. The particulars are as follows:
1t appears that rain commenced to fall at
Vellore ON Wednesday, when two inches
were registered. All Wednesday night and
Thursday morning it poured incessantly, the
water streaming out of the clouds Sin
punches" as an imaginative eyewitness ex-
pressed it. About three O'Clock it ceased
raining, but a few minutes afterwards the
whole town was startled by the sudden de-
scent of what seemed to be a sea of water,
which swept like a stsrm-wave over the
whole cantOnment, entering the very win
dows of some of the houses, and driving the
occupants to the roofs or upper stories, cover
ing the cantonment road to a depth of five
feet, and carrying everything that could
not resist its force before it. Its ap-
proach was so sudden that there was
no time to make preparations for es-
cape. A confused roar of rushing wa
tiers, accompanied by the crashing of walls
and trees, was heard, and people looked out
of their houses to behold their compounds
covered with water, and their very lives
threatened by the rapidly raising food.
Tne cause of the flood was soon surmised.
1t was known that the flood waters had come
from some of the large irrigation tanks situ-
ated on higher ground a few miles out of
Vellore. They are all connected with one an
other, and the supposition is that the higher
tank went first and brought down all the 9TH
ers like pack of cards. Five of the irriga-
ton tanks burst their bands, and altogether
forty tanks in the neighborhood have burst.
What the volume of water was that came
rushing down on the lower part of Vellore
may be imagined when we say that the flood
is said by the authorities at the station to
have been mile il width and eight or ten
feet in depth in the main channel The dis
trict known as the Cushbah contained alone
about 2500 inhabitants, and there not a sin
gle house has escaped. The same remark
applies to the lives of the families of the 18th
and 17th regiments. The dead bodies have
been collected and buried in large deep
trenches outside the town."

TEN BEcAUsEs.-A hundred reasons might
be given why Lyons Katharion should be used
by every intelligent human being in preference
to any other preparation for the hair, but ten
will suffice. Here they are: Because it nour-
ishes the fibres, multiplies them and makes
them grow because it thus prevents them from
whitening and bleaching because it removes
the scurf and dandruff which choke them as
tares choke the golden grain; because it keeps
the scalp cool and prevents sruptions; because
it renders the hair as lustrous as satin; because
it makes it plant and elastic; because it is a
fragrant and fine dressing; because it does not
soil the pillow, the cap or the hat; because it is
without a rival in cheapness and because no
other article sold for the same purpose, in this
or any other country, possesses all, or even one
half, of these invaluable properties.
