AN UNsYMPATuETIo AUDIENCE E-That
was an unplea SAINT audience which Gen.
Beverage addressed at the Grant meet
ing in Chicago recently. Ex.Gov. Ogles-
by had previously fought the war all
over again, and the audience had be-
come . little restive. Consequently,
when the general began the fight again.
an impatient man cried out. with much
bitterness, Damn the wari' Some
what discounted, the general sidled off
into an attack upon Mr.. Greeley. and
here an emphatic "Dry up!" caused him
to tack again. That tremendous argu.
ment against Mr.. Greeley-his censure
OF the Democrats-next received atten
tion; bat scarcely had the valiant orator
got we'll under way when his eloquenoe
received q sudden and effectual check in
the calm assurance, ave can stand it,"
which clear voice sent up from the
crowd. The laughter which followed
was too much for the orator, and he ab-
rnptly retired.

IHE TRIANGULAR FIaHT-CARpozo's
KEJo1NDER. We print elsewhere the re-
Joinder of Secretary OF State Cardozo to
the elegant epistles Of Gov. SCOTT and
treasurer Parker. It rubs in the charge
that $4,000, 900 conversion bonds were
traudulently issued, and demonstrates
t1at the writer is a master of the lie-di-
rect style OF argument. It does not
clear MIR. Cardozo's skirts. AS he says.
the Governor signs the bonds, the Trea.
surer countersigns and the Secretary
seals. This is enough. The public
hold the three equally guilty. 1t is fun.
ny, OF course, that Gov. Scott should
have vowed that he would sign the bonds
only with his hearts blood, and it would
have saved the State many millions if he
had stuck to his resolution This does
not relieve Mr.. Cardozo of responsibili-
ty. Without his mid the bonds could not
have been issued and squandered. He
admits that he knew that there was fonl
play; and he kept his mouth close shut
until there was chance to got up Cha
rsoter by peaching on his associates and
setting up as reformer. It is too thin.
MIR. Cardozo.
One. new point he does make, viz:
That $2Ol .8l6 Of the State funds we're
lent by the Financial Beard to the Blue
Ridge Railroad Company. without au-
thority and in defiance Of law. This is
clear case of official malversation; and
Secretary Cardozo. although not credi
BILE witness in his own behalf, is a good
enough witness when he accuses his late
confederates. II there is any lew in the
State, this loan to tho Blue Ridge Rail
road will smash and scatter the ring.
This can be done through the courts.
Without money. however, no progress
can be made. Where is the money to
come from? Columbia is doing what
she can; but Charleston is as silent as
MIR. Cardozo Was until he had signed
about 5000, 600 conversion bonds.

The lower Glasses in japan are afraid
OF the telegraph. They cannot alto
gether see "how the old thing works."
and they are simple enough to think
that it is the device of the devil, and
that the wires are coated with the blood
OF young women, and that the census
now beng taken for the sole purpose of
finding ont the number Of available Ja-
panese maidens whose blood will do for
telegraphio purposes. The idea is o ou-
rious one, and it is strange that the ia
panese should not understand the expla-

The HOUSE DIVIDED 1t would seem,
from outward appearances. that the Ra-
dical honse is divided against itself, at
least in this locality; and indeed in other
portions OF the County as we'll. Some
thing is wrong-there's a screw loose in
the scalawag and oarpet-bsg machinery.
They don't pull together like they use
to did," They quarrel; call each other
ugly names; they ''cuss;" draw bloody
minded pistols. and threaten to shoot
but they don't. There is evidently un-
happiness in that portion of the Scott.

they are doing up farce hugely we'll.

Probably no candid person who has
studied the returns Of Che North Caro-
lima elsotion. and intelligently compared
them with the per centages OF previous
elections. has doubted that Mr.. Morri-
mon is chosen Governor Of the State.
But since tho fourth day after the result
was first announced, it has been clear
that desperate attempt was making BY
the Administration party fraudulently to
give Caldwell a semblance OF victory.
All the facts point to the existence OF
such scheme, and the latest reports
from the State show that it will be abor.
tive. BY the time the Legislature M eets.
sufficient fraud will have been proved to
overcome the slight majority which the
friends OF Caldwell now claim for him,
and temporary advantage OF the Admi.
nistrationists must fade. Nothing could
more forcibly illustrate the desperation
OF the aice-holders' party than its ex-
traordinary efforts to gain in North Ca
rolina even this feetings4hadow of vic
tory.-N. Y. Tribune.

RAIN CLoUDs.-A few weeks ago q
rain cloud burst and washed away the
road-bed Of the Honesdale branch of the
Erie railway for distance of about 100
feet. Cloud-bursts are of infreQuent oc-
currence in the Atlantic States, but they
are quite common in Nevada and else
where in the extreme West. A cloud
burst is not a water. r.spout, though the
two are often confounded in the popular
mind. A water-spout results from a
whirl-wind, which gathers quantity of
water from the face of the ocean or some
other broad surface, and whirls it up
ward and through the air. Cloud-bnrsts
OCCUR in the summer during heavy thun-
der storms, and are simply rain showers
Of sudden and extraordinary violence.
An over-laden clond suddenly condenses.
and the water of which it is composed
falls to the earth in torrents. In q noun
tainous country like Nevada, the results
Of cloud-burst are often terrible. So
sudden is the food that sometimes where
not drop of water has been seen for
months, large, turbulent torrent all at
once comes pouring down, washing
away trees, houses, roads. rocks, and
everything that comes in its way. One
OF these floods TINS pouring down q
steep. dry, mountain canon, frequently
shows an advancing, resistless front of
logs, boulders, and brush twelve or fif-
teen feet high.
