the subject of prohibition, it was
| resolved that the fallscies ol
| teetotalism be exposed, the
statistics presented by prohibitionists
be analyzed, and their assertions refuted:
that where restricting and prOhibitory
enactnents exist, every possible meas
ure be taken to oppose, resist and repeal
them, and that politicians favoring pro-

that the true position of malt liquors as

stimulant, be properly defined and pub

q DISPATCH from San Diego says that
= letter 10 the San Diego Union from
Ures, Sonora, reports great excitement
over The Mexican raids into Texas, and
says that war is fesred between the
United States and Mexico. The news
paper E.rtrelo, referring to the Wash
tDgton Chronicles version Of the Texas
raiders, says that il the great republic
cannot or will not keep msrsuding par
'ics from passing into friendly State
and committing all kinds Of atrocities,
it cannot wonder at weak Mexico not
being able at all times to prevent her
bad boys from entering friendly State.
Good logic. Now lei Uncle Sam try his

TIE miners near Mshoney, PennsyI-
vsDla, yesterday INDUCED their propen-
sity TO riot, and the consequence is a
few killed and many wounded. The
presence Of the military, called for by
the defeated sheriff, alone prevented
more serious consequences. For the
present an armed truce Is being OBJ
served, but IS the miners of other dis
tricts sre sending forward their quotas
Of sympathizing recruits, there is no
knowing how soon we may have re-
be!lion on a seale that will test the pluck
and endurance Of Pennsylvania to put
down. Meanwhile, it would be well for
the miners and mine-owners to come to
terms, and by a reasonable compromise
put an end to a state OF things that dis
grsces the republic st large.

letter as goes out to the country, ana
thereby avoid any snti-third-term reso-
luton TO the Pennsylvania platform, but
the President declined. The news from
Ohio, however, that the Republican
convention Of that State, which meets
this week, also intended to take strong
grounds against the third term, and that
other conventions of the party would
follow in the same line, prompted the
President TO come to the front, ere it
was too late, in letter OF declinatiOn.

THE report OF the New Orleans cotton
exchange, received by telegraph and
published in the APPEAL Of yesterday,
is very instructive, and may be briefly
synopsised as follows: Increase in Lou
isisns, four per cent; Mississippi, three;
Arkansas, three; North Carolina, FIVE;
Alsbsms, three, aud Texas, seven. De-
crease in Middle Tennessee, fifteen per
cent; North Alabama, seven; South
Carolina, one-half Of enc per cent, and
IN West Tennessee, two and One-hsh
Georgia and Florida report the same as
Isst yesr; and the prospect everywhere
is good, labor doing well. The total re.
ported increase as above is twenty-five
per cent, and the decrease the same
twenty-five per cent. But as the increase
is reported from the best Of the cotton
lands, 1t will more than offset the de-
crsSss in the uplsuds. 1t is safe, there
FORE 10 predict a good crop.

AT LOUIsNILLE.

LOUISVILLE, June 3.-The damage
done by the storm last night was quite
extensive. Besides great injury to the
Masonic widows ami orphans home,
many small cottages were demolished,
roots blown of and other damages re-
ported. The shops of the Louisville iron
and bridge company, on Eleventh and
Seane streets, were blown down, entail
ing g loss of about thirty thousand dol
lars. Estimated loss at Masonic home
is thirty thousand dollars, ON which, of
course, there was 10 insurance. The
storm seems to have struck the building
Just in the center, demOlishing the cen
tral portion Ia an instant, leaving the
two wings absolutely unipjured. The
board Of directors to-day resolved
TO appeal Immediately to the
Masons CT Kentucky to make
up the loss and complete the building.
so prompt has been the response Of Ma
sons Of Louisville and Kentucky to
calls for aid from other localities, nOts-
bly, from Chicago snd Memphis, that it
Is thought many subscriptions will be
made by MasOLs Of other States. The
Home is the largest Of the kind in the
country, and the entire structure would
have been ready for occupants in about
three weeks. No serious injury is re-
ported, although the violence of the
storm was such that large portions of the
roofs were carried distance Of half
mile. The total damage in this city is
st nearly one hundred thou
sand dollars.

AT INDIANAPOLIS.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 3.-A rather
heavy rainstorm occurred last evening,
causing White river and all the smaller
streams near the city to overflow their
banks. A large amount Of damage was
done by the wind and food in various
parts Of the city. The whole northern
section of the city was OverfOwed to q
depth Of from three to five feet, filling
the cellars and lower stories of a large
number OF private dwellings. In the
west part of the city the Old skatingTink
building wss blown down. A negro man
named Robinson was buried in the ruins
and seriously injured. The damage to
all the railroads is very serious. The
trestle-wOrk Of the l., 3. and W., five
miles west of the city, was washed
away. Eagle creek bridge, on the l. and
st. L. was washed away. The Wanda
liza, l. and W., and j., NJ. aud l. suffered
more or less. John Humphry, stock
dealer of FOrtville, was instantly killed
while traYeIing on Wrecking train on
the BellefOntain road, yesterday. Mr..
II. was in the baggage car, and hearing
the whistle blown he put his head out Of
the car and was struck by car ON the
side track. Qhe damage done to the
various railroads by the late storm is be-
ing rapidly repaired. The Pan Handle
railroad are running their trains on time
and the Bee line will resume its regular
trains this evening. The other roads,
excepting the J. and V. J. p. and c.,
and J. B. and w. roads are transferring
passengers at the breaks. The water in

ually and will probably be out by morn

The letter shows the same weakness
that its author has all along shown in
attributIng all opposition to the third
term in personal hostility to himself, and
in failing TO perceive that there are con-
stitutional checks which men who know
what free government means are not
prepared to give up in favor of chief
magistrate, even il they believe in his
good intentions. This defect arises part
ly perhaps from General Grants mill
taFy habits, but much more from the na-
ture OF his mind, and is one of the many
proofs Of his utter unfitness to be a Pres
ident Of the United States.
