The Late Rains-A Succession of De-
structive Storms In the West.

The Late Rains-A Succession Of De.
structive Storms In the West.
Within the brief period of the last two weeks
the Great West from Kansas and Nebraska to
the heart Of Ohio has suffered heavy losses
from succession Of storms, including lorna
does, water spouts and floods of rain, remark
able for their fury and the resulting disasters
to life and property. The catalogue of these
destructive storms occurring on the I'd, Sd
and 4th insts. within the limits of Indiana
and Ohio, as given in our dispatches this
morning, has, indeed, seldom been exceeded
in the tempests of the stormiest seasons in
those States. Lines of telegraph poles pros
trated or shivered by lightning, trees for
miles along the courses of these hurricanes
torn up by the roots, fences scattered over the
fields, dwelling houses, factories and other
buildings destroyed, blown down or unroofed,
and fields Of wheat and growing corn fattened
or flooded with water, are among the many
damages reported.
These violent storms are but the natu-
raj reaction in the elements from the
late protracted and somewhat alarmingly
dry season in the northern section of the
Union east of the Mississippi; but they
are more directly due to the intense
heats Immediately preceding them. After
heated term of three or four days, with the
mercury rising high among the nineties, the
atmosphere, over the region thus affected, be-
comes so rarefed that we may say vacuum is
created, and the denser and vapor-charged air
from the Gulf of Mexico drifting in to fill up
the vacuum, all such atmospherical disturb
ances rs those occurring out West within the
last three days are apt to follow. We regret to
hear of these heavy damages to the crops and
the forests resulting from these late violent
storms but as all these losses are mere trifes
compared with the general benefits to the
thirsty land from these refreshing rains, we
hold them, in general estimate, as blessings
to be thankful for instead Of misfortunes to be
deplored

General Buffers Position on the Tenn
perance Question.

At South birmingham, Mass, where the
people have fallen into the habit of celebrating
the GLORIOUS Fourth" as temperance fes-
tival, General Butler, on their celebration of
Friday last, was the orator of the day but
from the badgering which he suffered from the
vor pOpoai he left the scene of his eloquence
evidently anything but happy man. He
spoke of the nations birthday, of Great
Britain, of privileged corporations, of railway
monopolies, of the bright idea of making all
our railroads common highways free to any
mans locomotive, and finally coming down
to the temperance question and the Massachu-
sets Prohibitory law and of the inequality of
its operation in excluding it from the poor,
while granting all the privileges of liquor
by wholesale to the rich, he told how he
would enforce the law, if he were Governor,
against the rich as well as the poor and
he was in fair way to wind up his dis
course in blaze of glory when he was sud-
denly drought to- by the main question,
'Will General Butler tell us whether he is
favorable to the friends or the opponents 81
the present liquor law2" Ass 80 Tst'-'
l. The General endeavored to parry the shot
by discharging another at his inconsiderate
friend. The General asked him, 'Will the
gentleman from Milford remember that asking
questions of a Fourth of July orator is like
whistling at funeral?" Whereupon there
was great laughter but there was no escape
for the orator upon side issue. Mr.. God
frey was not to be baffled by badinage, but
charged home again upon the General
'sThe people want to know where he is in the
present campaign. Will General Butler tell
the people where he isss They have : -.sns
to know" But round Of Kisses, and then q
temperance song from the Hutchinson Min
strels. saved the General from reply; and,
in the midst of the diversion, folding his tent,
or rather his linen duster s.like the Arabs,
he silently stole away" But if Mr.. Godfrey
does not discover where General Butler is on
the Liquor law, in the long interval to No
vember next, it will probably be because
the temperance party have some other
axes to grind with him of equal impor-
lance in their judgment to their Prohibitory
law.

The SENTENCE OF WALwoRrH. On the open
ing Of the Oyer and Terminer yesterday Frank
II. walworth was brought up for sentence.
Judge Davis, after endeavoring to impress
upon the prisoner the terrible condition in
which his rash act had placed him, as under
conviction by a jury for the grave crime Of
murder in the second degree, in taking the
life of his own father, passed upon him the
sentence prescribed by the law-imprisonment
for life. During the address and sentence no
sign of emotion escaped from the youthful
convict, and after parting from his relatives in
the Court House he went back to the Tombs
with as much apparent composure as though
he had been only an unintarested spectatss u
the txial lust concluded.

on. Tt is shameful that this important work
should drag along SO slowly. There always
has been too much red tape Office machinery
about it, even when there were funds to be
had. If it were pushed vigorously the city
might in year or two begin to draw revenue
from valuable leases. There is no reason why
magnificent warehouses should not be built
on or connected with splendid stone wharves,
piers and docks; and from such the city might
derive large revenue. There need be no fear
of not obtaining money for the work, or OF the
interest on it not being forthcoming from the
work itself, if properly managed. Then let us
have substantial railroads along and to this new
system of water side frontage. Another thing
the city authorities should have promptly car
ried out is q solid double track elevated rail-
road on each side of the island, and from one
end to the other, for steam cars, or any other
well contrived system of rapid transit that will
meet the wants of the public. This would
improve property vastly ct the upper portion
of the island and would bring greater assess
ments for other improvements going on
there In connection with this and the
improvement of He'll Gate and the annexation
of Lower Westchester, the long spoken Of
ship canal through Spuyten Duyvil ought to
be made, % we'll as the concentration Of the
railroad system in that neighborhood to con-
meet with the city railroads and shipping
The supply of fresh water should also be
literally augmented for the accommodation of
our uptown residents, who are often deprived
for hours of this great necessity of life. In
fact, there is so much to be done, and that
within the means Of the city-much that is
needed and much that would add to the
wealth, health and prosperity Of the metropo-
lis-that we are surprised at the supineness
and want of foresight on the part of the au-
thorities. In quarter of century or SO the
Republic will have a hundred millions of
people, and this metropolis, including its
suburbs, probably nearly three millions. Will
our authorities prepare for this future?
Shall New York keep pace with the country or
lag behind? The present regime has too much
of the old fogy character about it and dreams
too much over mistaken notion of economy.
We should never have had our beautiful Gen.
trail Park had not the idea been hammered
into the dull heads Of our rulers, and it will
be the same. we suppose, as to other great i'm
provements. 1t is apparent already that the
reformers need reforming.
