shall be done without previously reporting or
asking about it. 1t is impossible beforehand
to say what shall be the limits to go to in this
respect, and an unlimited power might. as
already stated, lead to a great many additional
grants for small amounts, and the control with
the expenditure Of the amounts would be
prevented
1st Member for Frederiksted ( Saraaw) AS
the Committee had not put the question for
vote, he would not now enter much into the
matter. His Excellency spoke of the Letter
from the Government of 1869, but he (Sarauw)
had not thought Of an earlier period, when the
Burgher Council for the Landstreasury's build
ings allowed repairs to be done in that way.
The Spokesman said that the suggestion
might be Of great practical value, especially
for kingshill. Many a time, there is some
little work to do, to the value Of perhaps SO
cts, but it must wait till other work comes on ;
for it would never do to get a workman sent
out there for those SO cts. and it could not
be expected of the Building Inspector that he
sht uld 90 every week to look after such trifles.
Therefore it would be good if the Commander
could have minor repairs done at once and
have a small amount allowed to defray the
expense.
The President With regard to Kingshill,
there the circumstances are different. The
Policemaster will always have such minor
repairs done, and defray that outlay from the
Policefund.
End Member for Frederiksted (Fa6erJ said
he was led to understand that the o~ccupiers of
public buildings are not aware that they can any
time use small amounts for minor urgent re-
pairs if so, then he was satisfied. But he
had some doubts if that is properly understood
by all occupiers of public buildings he knew
for instance, that in meetings of the Hos
pital Commission at Frederiksted there had
often been spoken of the savings that could
b. effected if the Chairman or the PurveyOr
had power to defray such small expenses.
The President said it is not exactly a certain
sum that is placed at the disposal of o%ccupiers
of public buildings, but simply an obligation on
them not to allow the buildings to take in
jury. when a trifing outlay could prevent it.
After the remarks from 1st Member for Frede-
rik,ted (SarauwJ about the Messengers house
in the School Yard, the Presidency would with
draw the proposal for $I92.3S for repairs
to the house, r~eServing to have the
N .tter as to a removal Of the building to a
more suitable spot investig ted further, and
then to bring forward a Money Bill for the
purpose but tho Council must be prepared
that the amount will in all probability exceed
what had here been estimated for this work.

BEN. BUTLER's GOODNESS.


The General then discussed the fnan-
cial problem, and while he was holding
all men to paying their honest debts, a
spOan was lowered by means of a string
through the scuttle of the roof and
hung like a sceptre in midair. A gig
gle was heard from the audience, and
It soon assumed the proportions of a
roar. The General tried TO continue,
but was several times interrupted He
failed at first to observe the objection
able article of table use. Gen. Butler
finally placed his eye upon it, and
gazed from right to left without a
word. He again attempted to proceed,
but only again to be interrupted. FL
nally he shook his handkerchief and
Strengthened himself and said: "Well,
l should think that is about as good
an argument as can be opposed to. p"
The spoon wiggled in the air, and the
General continued: There must be
somepppositlonin in this town" Laugh
ter and applause.

SHERMAN FOR PRESIDENT.

Washington Correspondence Of the Chicago
Tribune.
A ooterie of Washington politicians,
who have been for some time quietly
discussing the propriety of bring
ing out Gen. Sherman as a candidate
for the Presidency, by an Independent
or Democratic Convention, on a plat
form of amnesty and reconciliation,
are now calling public attention to his
claims. A column article appears to-
day reviewing his record sincetbe close
of the war, and declaring that it has
been more liberal and judicious, on the
question of reconstruction and good
government throughout the country,
than that of any other man prominent
IN the Republican party. 1t is not
thought that Gen. Sherman Is privy to
any movement Of this nature, as he
has repeatedly declared, during the
last few months, that he preferred to
remain General of the Army rather
than serve four years IN the White
House.

CHARLESTON, Sept. 29.-The most fear
ful gale in this city since 1854 occurred to-
day, beginning about daylight with strong
southeast wind, and increasing in violence
until 8 O'Clock, when it had become hur-
ricane. The tide was forced up to an un-
precedented height, inundating the entire
river front of the city, damaging the
Wharyes, and in some instances sweeping
away pier hands. The long stone sea wall
known as the Battery, a famous
promenade resort, was laid in ruins,
and the public bathing house
was demolished. The shipping generally
escaped serious damage. Some small craft
were wrecked, but the large vessels were
only chafed. Throughout the city fences
and Outbuildings were destroyed, branches
torn from the trees and during the height
of the storm, the air was filed with states
and tin stripped from tlfe roofs, making the
streets impossible. The massive brick
walls of the new theater which
had just been completed with
the exception Of putting on the
roof and from its position in the burnt dis
trict was exposed to the full force of the
gale were leVelled with the street. About
noon the wind shifted to the west mOdera-
ting the violence Of the sea, and it is hoped
that the worst isOver. Two houses are re-
ported swept away on Sullivan's Island and
one life lost. The inmates of the bathing
house were rescued with the utmost Diff
Guilty. 1t is probable that $50, 90 will
not repair the damages.

a gravel train was standing on the main
track in a deep cut leading from the bank.
The conductors watch had stopped at 1910
and he did not know it. He consulted
it after it had stopped and thought he had
time to load and get out of the way of the
passenger train coming south. There was
no signal man out, and the passenger train
was running on time at full speed. The
engines struck and smashed together. The
tender Of the passenger train, teleScoping in
the mail and express car, caught Z. Childs,
the mail agent. Charles Lewis, cd
gineer OF the passenger train, crawled out
with his shoulder broken and some severe
cuts and bruises. A fireman and Orange
EmmOns, of Norwich, fell against the front
of the boiler and were covered with coal.
They were dug out by the railroad hands
and passengers. The fireman was not
much hurt, but EmmOns is thought to be
fatally injured. The mail car was burned,
nearly consuming Childs body. No mail
matter was saved. Mrs. William Faulk-'
ner, of Fish Creek, an elderly lady in the
palace car is thought to be fatally injured.
The passenger cars were filled with persons
going TO the fair. \ great many were
bruised with few seriously.

THE following dates and facts throw
some additional light upon the pub
lished letter of Gen. Butler to Gov.
Kellogg, asking for a three thousand
dollar fee IN connection with the Lou
isiana cause before the Supreme Court:
The matter came before the court on a
motion for a writ Of prohibition re-
straining Judge Durel from further
interference in the case of Kellogg VS..
Warmoth. Caleb Gushing and Senator
Carpenter appeared for Kellogg. The
Court rejected the application Dec. IL,
1872. On the 18th of Januaryfollowing,
Gen. Butler spoke as follows on the
floor of the House, espousing the side
of Warmoth: 81 have no doubt that
the returns show the Warmoth Gov
ernment, as it is called, elected. 1
have no doubt that set of returns is the
only method provided by the Constitu-
ton of Louisiana of ascertaining, when
they are corrected by the proper tribu-
nal, which is the true Government. On
the other side, men, who claim to be
known as the Pinchback Legislature,
have organized themselves, upon afi-
dayits and certificates of supervisors
not properly authorized, returns which
are not legal, machinery by
which the election in the
State is determined" Next
IN order comes Buffers letter of June,
1873, to Kellogg, asking for his fee.
When Congress met the next Decem-
Der, Butler on the second day
of the session, urged the ad-
mission of Sypher, Sheldon and
Pinchback. Later In the session, when
it became evident that Kellogg was not
coming to time with the balance of the
$1,000 demanded, he took the position
that neither Kellogg nor McEnery had
been elected, and favored a new cleo
ton, and at the close of the session,
supported the impeachment of Durell,
on whose order Kellogg became Gov
ernor. Play or pay, is Ben's style of
doing business.

Death.
COLUMBUS, Sept. 29.-This evening, as
the train on the Pan Handle Railroad was
rounding a curve near this city, the engi-
neer saw a man jump from clump OF
bushes about thirty feet ahead. The man
deliberately folded his arms, threw himself
on the track, and was almost Immediately
cut to pieces by the wheels of the locomo-
tive. The man was an entire stranger
here, and no papers were found on his per-
son to identify him In one pocket tom
envelope was found, ON which was imper-
fectly written the words;
"To Zack Heed and Miss Hise lay the in
stigation of my DEATH"
The body was so mangled it is impossi-
bic to give much Of a description Of him.
He was probably about twenty-eight years
old, of medium height, black hair and very
slight beard.

states that on that day twenty two battal-

A sanguinary conflict ensued, resulting in
the repulse Of the Carlists along the whole

JUDGE PORTER AT gONEsBORO.

All our readers will turn with eager
ness TO the opening speech of our Cub
ernatorial nominee, the substance of
which, but not the oratoric fire, Is re-
produced elsewhere: Beginning calmly,
it grows more earnest, until the full
picture of Radical wrong and May
nard's tergiversation is drawn, when
the blows fall thick and hot and
fast. The NarTagansett chief will
find it difficult to dodge the
well directed aim of his adversary.
Porter evidently goes into the fight
armed capG-pie.
Equally gratifying and noteworthy
is the fact that our standard-bearer
keeps in prominent view the platform
adopted by the Tennessee Democracy.
From It's first plank to it's last, from
the rights of labor to the wrongs of at
tempted socialism, he bears aloft its
every principle. Nor is he disposed to
slight that less agreeable part
of it, the need for retrenchment where
ever possible and the necessity of
sustaining our credit as a people. 1t
has become the fashion with Republi-
cans to use platforms as Talleyrand
used language, only to deceive. Some
speak of them as promises made but to
be broken. Such has never been the
custom of the Democracy, with its ira
ditions of strict construction. In this
respect, as In others, Porter presents
a suggestive contrast with his COM
petitor, who could not stand still on
the Chattanooga platform fe minutes
without getting his feet blistered too
badly for further travel toward the
Vice Presidency.

MEMPHIS, Sept. 29.-The Committee on
Information and Statistics for the District
Of Memphis, make the following report to
the National Cotton Exchange for Septem-
Der:
Gentlemen: We respectfully submit the
following report, condensed from the an
swers received to the interrOgatories pro-
pounded by the National Cotton Exchange
and the Memphis Cotton Exchange, apper-
tanning TO the cotton crop prospects Of this
district sent out dated Sept. 10. Our re-
port IS derived from fifty-four responses
from West Tennessee, 6fty-One from North
Mississippi, thirty-four from Arkansas,
North OF the Arkansas river, and ten from
North Alabama. The average date is the
10th inst.
Questions.
/. What has been the character of the
weather in your county since Aug. 20?
2. What effect had it upon the cotton
plant?
3. What damage, if any, has been sus-
tsined from caterpillars or other causes to
eottDn In your county?
4. Is there any serious apprehension that
they will do any damage this season9
5. With frost at the usual time will the
yield be the same, greater or less than last
year in your county?
g. When did picking generally commence
with you?
Z. State any material facts in relation to
picking, yield or any other points not
covered by the foregoing questions?
Responses.
drxr and
orally dry with light local showers; II,
abundant rains; too much rain.
2. "a report the weather caused serious
shedding Of fruit; %, improved growth of
bOlls; n, second growth too late for ma
tIIrity; 81 report premature opening of
bolls; Z, report it damaged open cotton
by soiling and beating il out; Is report
crop not materially damaged by weather.
3. All answer that no damage has been
done by caterpillars.
4. All answer no damage is apprehended
from caterpiliars.
). The average depreciation of the yield
below that Of last year is estimated al 45
per cent.
o. The average commencement of the
picking season was Aug. ..
I. Responses to this general question,
aside from a repetition OF information de-
rived through the preceding six questions,
are, in the main, that on upland plantations
many of the crops are entirely open; that
the upland crop will, with good weather,
be harvested by the end Of October or
Nov. 10; that on the uplands generally
the bolls are small, the staple short and
light, and the seed comparatively less. In
many instances indifference is exhibited
on the part of the freedmen about picking
out the crop, they having realized all their
interest in it by the advances made BY
planters during the cultivation. In num-
berS OF instances they having actually
abandoned the crop, great anxiety is
expressed in regard TO the future. In many
instances in addition to the failure of the
cotton crop, sufficient grain and provender
has not been made TO winter the stock or
make bread for family support.
