"Chicago had once the bulwark of the
Republican party by its German vote.
How thoroughly that party has
thrown away the confidence of the
Germans by its degeneration, its tenn
perance ideas, and its paper money
swindle, was illustrated at last Satur-
days primary elections. With the
exception of a very few German
officials, not single German partici-
pated in them. Indeed in those wards
where the Germans predominated
largely, no elections could be held
because there were no Republican

TERRIFIC Hail STORM IN PITT.-One of
the most terrific and destructive hail storms
ever witnessed in this section of country,
visited Bethel Township, Pitt county, on
Sunday last. The storm was of thirty
minutes duration, the stones averaging an
egg in size, some weighing pound and
more, and razed to the ground the entire
crop in space six miles square. Mr. JAS
+. Ward, who suffered a heavy loss to his
crop, amounting in the aggregate to 1900
dollars, has placed before us specimens of
corn, cotton, &c, after the storm. The
first presents the appearance of cane after
passing through mill, its stock being rid
died with holes similar to those made by
musket bullets, and the second is wholly
stripped of its branches, the stem being
crushed into a pulpy mass. The storm
hailed with such force that a horse which
unfortunately happened to be exposed on
a neighbors farm was instantly killed Mr.
Ward lost some forty or fifty chickens
In some places, although the shutters of
the farm houses were closed, the blinds,
glasses and sash were broken into pieces
Services at Bethel Church had just been
concluded when the storm arose, and it was
SO severe at that point that shingles We're
knocked off, and quantity of ice entered
the building through the roof
The crops in this section were the finest
of any year since the war, and planters
who congratulated each other at the Church
in the forenoon on the bright prospects for
this season, returned to their homes in the
afternoon to find all in a state of ruin and
devastation. The damage al the lowest
figures is estimated at not less than one
hundred thousand dollars.

The Last Failure.

The last attempt Of the Piedmont
Independent to "refute' is, if possible,
a greater failure than the former
so great, in fact, we do not think it
incumbent upon us to pay further Sc
rious attention to its delinquencies in
this controversy. And, We doubt not,
the Independent is not averse to hay
in the matter drop quietly and easily,
as everybody does who assumes posi-
,tions so utterly indefensible, and with
so little ability to make the worse
appear the better reason.
For our own part, therefore, the
end has been reached with the final
suggestions to the Independent, Gift de
sires to continue,) to borrow its edito-
rails from the same source it obtains
Mr.. RooNEY's communications and to
remember that ccrbotim publications,
among other essentials, permit no c.
chtsion of important matter.

TEMPERANCE AMONG THE METHo-
DIsTs. - The Southern Methodists,
in conference at Louisville, have taken
n decided position on the temperance
question and adopted by very large
vote-325 to SO, being more than the
necessary two thirds-a minority re-
port that any person making, buying
selling, or using as a beverage intox-
icating liquors shall be, upon convic-
ton, debarred from membership in
the Church. This action will be
sent round to the local conferences,
and if the majority Of three-fourths
concur it will become a law. AS a
test of the feeling in the conference,
oRe OF the most prominent members,
Rev. DR.. REGISTER, of Baltimore Con
ference declared himself in favour Of
this special legislation, even if it struck
10000 members from the roll. This
action Of the Methodist Conference
will probably have more permanent
effect in behalf Of temperance than the
more demonstrative crusade move
mcnt.
