Ten days ago the whole country
stood on the brink Of civil war. A
single hour o. irresolution on the part
of President Grant and the tragedy
Of 1861 would have been re-enaeted.
Had a Democrat, divided in bis duty
between his country and bis party
convictions, been in The Presidential.

surely have been wrapped in the
flames Of war. Let US see TO 1t IN
November that we do our persona
duty ia avoiding the very possibility
of such a danger. Let Pennsylvania
show to these white leaguers her hrn
determination to stand by the Repub
lican colors until Peace and 0rdeI
reign supreme, and the Rights o
Citizenship are respected, over tn
entire Republic, north and south. No
till then will the mission of the Re

CHARLESTON, September 29.-Tht
most fearful gale known here since
1854 occurred here to-day, beginning
about daylight with a strong south
vest wind, and increasing in VIC
Ience antil nine O'Clock, when it had
become a hurricane. For 40 -our
thereafter the gale was the NEST Sc
we're known here. The tide was
forced up to a most unprecedented
height, inundating the entire river
front Of the ely damaging the
wharves, and in a great many IN
stances sweeping away tho pier
heads. The long stone sea wall.
kkoyh as the battery,n a famous
promenade resort, was laid in ruins
and the public bathing house was
demolished. The shipping generally
escaped serious damage. Some small
crafts were wrecked; bat large res
sells were only caaffed. Throughout
The city the effects of the gale were
everywhere visible, fences and out
buildings were porstrated, branches
.tora from trees. and during the
height of the tempest the air was
filed with states and tin, stripped
from the roofs, making the streets i'm
passible. The massive brick walls
of the new theater which bad just
been resdy for roofing, and which
from its position in the burnt dis
trict was exposed to the full force of
the storm, were leYeled with TIE
ground. About noon the wind
shifted to the west, m%oderating the
violence of the sea, aud it is hoped
that the worst is over. Two houses
are reported TO have been swept
away on Sullivan's island and one
life lost. The inmates of the bathing
house were rescued with the utmost
difficulty. Probably a quarter of q
million Of dollars will not repair the
damage caused by the gale.

THERE is one portion Of the public
record of Gen. McCsndless, the Dem.
ocratic candidate for Secretary Of In
%ternal Affairs, that is Of peculiar in
%terest TO the citizens of this county;
and that is his persistent and unscru-
pulous efforts, when in the Senate, to
prevent the completion of the Con
n~ellsVille railroad.
The repeal of the charter of this
road, when its construction was be-
ing energetically pushed, was the
grossest outrage ever perpetrated by
any legislative body claiming the at.
tribute Of common honesty, and nc
man in the Commonwealth ever at
tempted to justify it on any other
than the highwayman's plea ofmight,
and yet this Democratic candidate,
totally ignoring all sentiments save
those possessed in common with q
receiver of stolen goods, stolidly yot'
ed during his Senatorial career against
the restoration of the charter, hlcheo
from this road. The man who could
thus outrage every dictate of propri'
ETY. and honesty, is untitled for any
public position, and is not TO be trust
ed. The enterprising citizens Of the
numerous thrifty towns and villages
now dotting the line o this road, ant
real estate proprietors who have beef
so largely benefited by its construc
ton, have now an opportunity t
show their appreciation, at the polls
of the mar who voluntarily Etoot
between them and the restoration o
their rights. Let them remembe
what the valleys Of the Wills creek
the Casselman and the Yough were
few years since, contrast it with thei
present condition, and then determin
what they owe Gen. McCandless 70
his persistent efforts to prevent th
development and the progress whic
the building Of the Connellsville roa
has secured.

But it is not lively yet-not even
fairly good. They are buying just
as little as they can, and Just as close
as they can. But the food gates are
open a little, and it is to be hoped
that they viii be lifted higher ere
many days. The sale of domestic
manufacture keeps up better than
imported goods. Imported inery
hangs heavily, which would indicate
an economy on the part of the people

vet the boot and shoe trade is very
dull, and the grocery trade still duller.

BEEcHER-TILT0N.


What happiness! A week has
passed BY and the papers hare bad
nothing in them of the Beeeher-TH-
ton scandal. Tiltonis last statement
is acknowledged by every n to be
a remarkable production, and it has
changed public opinion in the mat
ter to a wonderful degree. The good
people of Brooklyn who believed
Beeeher innocent now admit that his
guilt is possible, and those who sided
with Tilton are stronger than ever
in the belief in the strength Of his
position. TiIton keeps close to his
house in Brooklyn, and keeps from
becoming morbid by the hardest
kind of work. His children see him
occasionally, and bis intimate friends
are admitted, but none other. He
was in New York yesterday for the
6rst time in three weeks. He looks
strong and hearty, and has full faith
that be will be eventually justified.
Moulton is as jolly as a grig, and is
full of fight. He is getting ready for
the numerous libel suits that have
been instituted against him. Mrs.
Tilton is still at the 0vingtous', and,
it is understood, has expressed her
determination never to resume her
life with her husband. By the way.
in the prosecution of Tilton's suit
against Beecher how is a jury to be
obtained? Where can twelve men be
found who have net formed an opin-
ion, pro or con?
