MADE A SETTLEMENT.
The P1't says the Rothschild selIpmsu
syndicate have made their settlement with
the Treasury for November and Decem-
Der, which means that they have sent
into the Treasury 8 90 bonds, which have
been called and on which interest ceases
November lst and December let, 90 that
the calculations that the Treasury will
have to pay out any considerable amount
Of gold Tor those bonds will be at fault.
The amount Of called bonds maturing
November 1st is $25,0O000O and the
amount maturing December 1st $l0OOO,-
0OO One Of the chief reasons lor the rise
IN exchange is that securities are coming
here from Europe 10 considerable
amounts. It is understood that q
largo amount Of Erie shares
are on the way from London
as we'll as United States bonds from Ger
man markets, the latter having been or
dered here because this has been the
highest market. Private advices from
Germany say there Is considerable uu-
easlness because OF the recent declaration
OF the United States in favor OF the ro-
deemIpg Of United States bonds in green
backs instead of coin. 1t was reported
on the streets this morning that the Erie
company has closed losn for 5000 900
10 the London market, the price being as
low as at previous negotiations.

Killed by Lightning.

To Captain Israel Winston we are in
debted for the par,ic ulars of terrible
casualty that occurred about six miles
from Fredericksburg. Ray county, on
Tuesday evening.
A widow woman, named Mary Adam.
sor, had resided on farm in that
aishborhood for several years, ir
company with her two children, one
boz 4 years old, and the other girl
aged 5. During the afternoon she
visited neighbor, residing about a
mile distant and started home just after
supper. The clouds at the time threat
ensd storm, yet Mrs. A. supposed
she could reach her house before it
cane up, and felt anxious about some
clo8ding that she left hanging on line
in the yard. When about half the
distance had been accomplished, the
storm came on with terrible force, and
Che parties sought refuge under a tree.
An hour afterward neighbor, pass
ing the spot, noticed three bodies ly-
ing near the tree. All had evidently
beeuskilled by stroke of lightning.
The little girl lay about five feet from
the mother, her clothing completely
burned off, and the upper portion Of
the body badly scorched. A few fec.
from her was the body of the boy; he
had evidently been struck squarely in
the head, as nearly one half the hair
was siuged off. The person of the
mother showed but few marks of the

posture, leaning against the tree, the
right hand dropping by her side, the
left outstretched as if reaching for

The Republican Party.

Senator Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine,
in his speech at the Republican Con-
gressional Convention at Bangor, on
Thursday last, said: by reading and
thinking man must sec that spirit
of progress anmates our party-a dis
position to open up new channels of
commerce and to increase the product
ion of the country, disposition to aid
all genuine projects calculated to bene-
fit the nation at large, spirit of liberal
ity to ala the Government in its up
ward course, desire to have a stricter
accountability between Government
officers and departments, strong pur-
pose for economy in every branch Of
the G Government--al these are charac-
teristics OF the party to which the Gov
ernment is intrusted, notwithstanding
the slanders and scandals set afoat by
portion of the press. There has been
too much of this slander by inuendo.
The man who boldly charges me with
crime, aud fixes the time and place
[ regard as a gentleman when COM
pared with him who endeavors TO fix
it upon me by inuendo. The fairest
fames have been blasted by this under
handed, whispered, half-coucealed
method Of abuse. when there was not
the slightest grain of truth in the sland-
er-when it was false as hell ITSELF
The so-called "Independent" press
has nothing to do but scandalize the
whole people, and public men In parti-
cular; it is the food they live on. |
do not say this because they have ac-
cused me of stealing, (God knows how
soon they will,) but it has become
crying evil. In this country, as in all
others, war has been In some degree a
cause of decentralization but we have
come out of the greatest war the world
ever saw, and have taught the world a
lesson. We have demonstrated that
republic is not only the best but the
strongest form Of government, and that
ours has done more than my other of
which history tells US to correct this
decentralization. For thirty years past
[ have known the Presidents and heads
of departments, many of them intimate
ly, and state here On any reputation,
which | hold dearer than anything
else inlthis. world, that there is as much
integrity in public officials to-day as
at any hour since we have had Cow,
ernment. [ do not say that we have
no corrupt men in Office, but do say
that the Republican Administration
has done more to get rid of them than
any other government.

SUNsTRoKE Upon TREEs-Tho
Chicago Journal gives remarkable
case Of some cherry trees belonging to
Mr.. Adolph Vieser, Of Lake View,

full force of the. suns rays. Beth

crop of cherries, nearly ripe. The
Journal says:

noise, as if caused by the the splitting

curling down along the trunk and limbs
until it reached the ground, and kav-
ing trees as naked and 5arren as though
they had been riven by the lightning's
bolt. Bark, leaves and cherries were
all stripped off, and laid a promiscuous
mass OF ruins upon the parched earth
surrounding the resolute truaks. The
process occupied but three or four Sec
onds, and as soon as he could recover
from his astonishment, Mr.. Vieser
made a thorough examination of the
trees The ruin was complete. He
found the trunks, limbs, twigs, leaves
and fruit perfectly dead. They had
literally died of sunstroke.
