years naturally leads them-if it has taught
them anything
Whether the Southern democrats will be
equal to their opportunity remains to be
seen. Many of them have been inclined
rather to ACCEPT a subordinate place in the
Convention to declare themselves ready 10
stand on any platform which may be offered ;
TO abandon principles and a&oslnd policy IL
only they can thus defe@S the republicans.
But of late there are signs that this pof,cy is
losing adherSlts in the South. The quar-
rels of the Northern democrats and th4r
follies are seen to make their success more
and more hopeless if they are allowed to con-
troll the party; and some of the wisest of the
southern democratic statesmen begin to
think that to save their party it is necessary
that they shall control the Convention and
dictate the platform and the nominations.
Undoubtedly this is their true course, and
its success depends only upon the question
whether they have among them statesman
ship and organization enough to send thoir
ablest men to the Convention and 30 agree
upon principles which shall commend them
selves to the countrv lDsg and shall
restore them TO public confidence

The Great storm H. Ve4as.

The special dispatches which priu to-
day give the first ineligible repow e
tremendous damage done by the recen, ria
in the Gulf of Mexico. Not merely Galyes.o
suffered, but the tornado extended as far as
Austin, and a vast region, extending more
| than two hundred miles from the coast felt
| its fury. The violence of the wind exceeded
that of any gale known for many years, and
immense quantities of water fell. Along the
coast of Texas the tide rose twenty feet, and
| the prairie became a sea. Railroads were
| submerged, bridges destroyed, cattle
drowned, little towns absolutely swept away
immense damage was done to the cotton
crop, and the streets of Houston, Galveston
and Austin were flooded. 1t is probable that
Corpus Christi, Indianola, Matagorda and
other towns on the coast have been equally
unfortunate. Southern Texas for an area of
thousands of miles has evidently been del
uged with water and swept by the tempest,
and it's condition is not unlike what would
be the state of Holland if her dikes should
break and the Zuyder Zee come rushing upon
her plains.
Galveston, as the principal port of Texas,
has experienced the greatest loss in ship
ping but fortunately precautions were
taken to save the goods stored in her
warehouses. Still the loss in Galveston
alone is five millions of dollars.
Houstons loss is probably one million,
and it is impossible to estimate the damage
done to the smaller towns. A vague idea can
be formed from the disconnected and i'm
perfect reports we have received. When the
railroads and telegraphs are repaired, and
communication is restored, it is likely that the
losses will be found to exceed the figures we
have given Fortunately the loss of life ap-
pears to have been much less than might
have been expected; but when the isolated
towns are heard from, and the wrecks
upon the coast are known, we fear that
hundreds of people will be missing. Such a
calamity as this is national, and must COM
mand for its victims the sympathy of the
whole country. Thousands of people must
suffer from the destruction of their homes
and property, and we need not urge the citi-
zens of New York to once more extend a
helping hand to their unfortunate fellow
countrymen. The duty is plain and its per-
formance should be prompt

The PuInit Yesterday.

No one who knows the vast amount of labor
performed by clergymen during the greater
part of the year, and the necessity they have
for mental rest, would grudge them their
brief holidays in the summer. 1t is in these
periods of repose or recreation that they
gather renewed strength for their great work
The majority of our preachers have already
returned to the city, and in a few weeks
every pulpit will be occupied by it's regular
incumbent. Our reports to-day present SER
mons, the first of the fall season, from a
number of the most popular ministers of
New York Among these is the discourse
of the Rev. George II. Hepworth,
of the Church of the Redeemer upon
the need men have of being periodically
reused from condition of indifference-an
argument which may be regarded Ns a
friendly and liberal plea in behalf Of Messrs.
Moody and Sankey, who are expected before
long to begin their evangelical labors in this
city. Mr.. rockingham also preached for the
first time this fall upon the purposes Of his
peculiar Church. The sermons of Rev. Mr.
narrower upon the JOY of doing right; of
Bishop Beckwith upon an individual hell, OF
the Rev. DIR. Alger upon church going, of Rev.
Mr.. Hall upon the brotherhood Of men, of
Rev. Mr.. Macarthur on the resurrection of
Lazarus, of DR.. Thompson upon the uses of
adversity, of the Rev. DR.. Flattery upon the
confessional and the power of absolution,
and other admirable discourses, will be
found of value to the public.

Smith claim that the Red Cloud Commission
VIII make unanimous report exonerating
them from any fault or crime. We do not
believe this. Government committees are
generally capable of any outrage upon the
laws of evidence and any insult to the
common sense of the people, but it is in
credible that in this case a verdict of not
guilty should be unanimously rendered. If
the investigation should have such termi-
nation we might as well bid farewell to any
hope of Indian reform SO long as the present
administration is in power.

New Facts About the Indian Frauds

New Facts About the Indian Fra uds.
The Indian Ring, forced upon the defen-
sive, has demanded, with great fear of being
answered, more definite charges against its
members. This request is complied with
in very positive way in the letter from our
correspondent at Fort Berthold. Dakota,
published to-day, and in Mr.. William
Welsh's sixth letter to Professor Marsh.
Our correspondent deals particularly with
'the model agency" as it is called, at Fort
Berthold, and with Mr.. L. B. Sperry,
the agent. He charges Mr.. Sperry with
robbing the Indians and the government
and gives the facts upon which the accusa-
ton is made. His relations with j. w. Ray
mond, his business partner, are explained
and we are told of the latter that there is
''no man in Sing Sing who can do more
quiet piece of villany than he can" Orville
Grant, the Presidents brother and recently
the official agent of the government ap-
pointed by the President is charged directly
with blacxmailng other agents and plum
dering generally. and our correspondent
adds, 81 have seen few men who met Orville
during his visit who do not despise him." He
is the third partner in the firm with Sperry
and RAYMOND. When we learn that the In
dians address Mr.. Sperry as "tho Little
Thief and 'the Little Liar" it is evident
that if direct charges are wanted at Washing.
ton plenty Of them may be obtained by in.
quiry in Dakota.
Mr.. Welshs letter is strong summing uI
Of his case against Secretary Delano, Indian
Commissioner Smith and General Cowan,
and valuable statement Of the measures
necessary TO reform. His facts are plair
enough, and the charges based upon then
are certainly direct enough to satisfy thu
most insatiate appetite for scorn. AL
these officers are accused Of violation
of law and completely in the frauds Yet W.
are informed by dispatches from Washing
ton that the friends of Messrs. Delano ant

BAD LUcK,-It is said in England
that the Disraeli administration is
like TO fail because of it's bad luck.
1t received a most unlucky and un-
expected rebube in the House of Commons
in the Plimsoll affair; it lately lost an IRON
clad which was sunk 10y one of its own fleet
in fog; and the sinking of the Mistletoe by
the royal yacht, the Alberta, and the bungle
made by coroners' juries in the case cap the
climax. public man or party is often en-
dangered by bad luck. General Grant and
the republicans have had long period of re-
markable good fortune. But luck seems to
turn against them, too, at last. Surely it
would be the unkindest blow of ill-fortune
if, after having continually expanded tho
currency during the whole of General Grants
term Of Office, they should now be defeated
on the charge, encouraged by themselves, Of
being contractionists. There could hardly
be an unkinder stroke than that.

AGAINST SECESSION. Montgomery, Ala,
was the first capital of the Confederate
States, and there the Confederate Congress
met and the Confederate government planted
itself 1t is an odd and at the same time a
gratifying circumstance to find that the Ala
bama Constitutional Convention, now in ses-
sion at Montgomery, body overwhelmingly
democratic, has just unanimously adopted
the following as part of the Bill of Rights
of the new State constitution it is framing
"The people Of this State accept as final the
established fact that from the federal Union
there can be no secession of any State.
And yet there are republicans, like Senator
Boutwell,, who talk about new rebellion"

Tnden and the Two-thirds Rule.

Governor Tilden is aware that the ''two-
thirds rule" has been the standing law of
democratic national conventions for nearly
the whole period since national nominating
conventions came into vogue in our politics
A bare majority will be of no more service
to him in 1876 than it was to Mr.. Pendleton
in 1868 Unless he can control two-thirds of
the delegates he has no chance of a nomina-
ton. The strong and admirable position his
convention has taken on the hard-money
question makes him the inevitable candidate
if the democracy of the country adopt his
views in the proportion of two to one, but
not otherwise. All his rivals for the demo-
cratic nomination understand the two-thirds
rule as well as he does, and whether they are
hard-money men or rag money men they have
a common interest against him. Men like
Thurman, men like Hendricks, who dare
not take bold ground on this question lest
it should impair their chances, are not likely
to extinguish their chances utterly by favor
ing Mr.. Tilden. He can expect no support
from his Presidential rivals. His success
must come from the democratic masses, and
it will require great activity and address to
enlist enough of them to insure two-thirds
of the delegates. Unless the anti-inhation-
lists of the democratic party shall be next
year in the proportion of two to one, Cover
nor Tilden cannot be nominated. If the
imitation democrats lose Ohio in the coming
election this will be possible, but if they
carry Ohio the New York candidate will not
''walk over the course"

THE TURKISH WAB.--The news from Bos-

ton is said to be spreading in the western
part Of that province, and a general rising Is
expected. This information is from Vienna,
and, for geographical as well as political rea-
sons, is more credible than the more en-
couraging dispatches from Turkish sources.
It Is admitted, however, in Constantinople
that servia will certainly declare against
Turkey, and the Porte complains that insur-
gents escaping into Austria are not disarmed,
all of which looks as if the war we're but be-

GENERAL GRANTS VIEWS ON IMITATION
The President does not fear the triumph Of
imitation at the fall elections, nor does he
anticipate that even the success of that doc
trine could affect the legislation Of Congress
for two years to come. He will veto any act
for the repeal of the law providing for
resumption in 1879, and thinks that two
thirds vote against the veto cannot be secured
in either the Senate or House.

MoRRIssEY FOR THE SENATE. Defeated at

a true tactician, has resolved to seek his ad-
vantage where he can count on success with
something like certainty. Boss Kelly and
his crowd of would-be respectable politi-
clans may give the ex-pugilist and active
gambler the cold shoulder, but the great
'unterrifed" will rally to the support Of
their friend and champion. The working
men affected by the economy of the Tam
many leaders are about to send Mr.. Morris
sey to the State Senate, where, no doubt, he
will distinguish himself as popular legis-

and professional politicians, there is outside

litical force which is bound to make itself
