ST. LOUIS, June 2I.-InlormatiOn Of
the damage done the State by the late
storms just begins to reach here. All
the railroads in the State, especially
those running east and west, have been
greatly injured, From Sedalia west on
the Missouri Pacific road several bridges
and culverts were carried away, Snd the
track washed out in a number of places.
Little damage was done to the St. Louis,
Kansas City and Northern road. On
its western division and eastern division
the Hannibal and st. Joseph also
shared the same fate. The rainfall was
Unprecedented, and the country for
miles was covered with water. In some
places hail as large as big eggs fell,
causing great destruction to crops. Ali
trains have been greatly delayed, but
large numbers of hands are energetical-
Jy st work, and the regular timetables
will be resumed tomorrow or Wednes-
day. The amoant of damage to rail-
roads cannot be given, but it will take
many thousands of dollars 70 place them
in good condition again. No lives re-
ported lost.

IT will be seen from the report Of the
proceedings Of the general council that
the financial policy proposed last year,
and Tor the prosecution OF which it was
at one time contemplated to employ ss-
si-,aut counsel, has been restated with
much clesrness and force, and the state
ment OF Comptroller NewsOm, published
in the APPEAL Of Sunday, accepted ss
correct upon the recommendation OF
3 special committee. An accept
ance o. Mr.. Hanson's resignation, which
that gentleman has for several weeks
determined upon, owisg to want Of har-
League, was also recommended by the
special cOnmittee, and adopted by
the general council. This will,
we suppose, be disposed Of en-
Tuesday next, when, no doubt a
successor will be elected. Meanwhile,
We trust the finance committee and the
general council will themselves keep the
report Of the special committee before
them, aud press the financial policy ii
contains to a solution, such as Mr.. Han
sons letter Of July G.h promised won d
almost certainly save to the Taxpayers
"over one million, and probably two
"and-a-half million dollars" With this
report Of the special committee We are
satisfied, and have no more to say touch
ing the issue it has so thoroughly and ef-
fectualIy disposed Of.

TENNESSEE INTEREST.
The Tax Of Forty Cents More than
Enough 90 Iaeet Current Expenses
and Interest, Too.

Connecting upon the failure OF the
state C comptroller to negotiate loan in
New York, with which to meet the
July interest on the public debt, the
Knoxville Press and Herald maintains
that this need not be taken as final
reputation OF the interest. 1t says
further, on this subject: "Many, per-
haps, will be ready 10 accept it as con-
elusive tu2t no more interest will be
paid, tut 50 long as the State officials do
not reconcile themselves TO such a con-
cIusion, the July default may, by proper
management, be turned to profit in the
preparation for resumption next jan
nary. The revenue afforded by the forty
Cel ats tax upon property and the taxes
upon privileges amount TO more than
enough annually to meet the interest
upon the public debt; and while the peO-
pie are acquiesciug in the use oftreasuTy
warrints f0r the payment Of all current
expenses of the State, they will expect
that the revenue for which there Is 70
other present use be carefully husb8nded
and applied to the payment Of the States
temporarily suspended obligations.
Tney will not quietly submit to the con-
tiuusu collection of tax upon their
property simply to maintain plethoric
treasury, with their paper ia dishonor." +"

M'MINNvILLE, June IA fearful

The town and country are in tumult

named Paris. There are two other men
implicated in the killing, one of them a
brother Of Paris, the other, Deputy

await an Investigation before justices

Cincinnati Commercials. Brooklyn Telegram
June Eth.
Beach has been on the rampage
to-day. He spTang there at the very
opening of his speech this morning,
beginning at the highest pitch, in the
most emphatic manner, with the strong
est language, and falling on the defend
ant with all his fury. His invective and
denunciation were as bitter as anything
we have heard, and there can now be no
complaint that all this sort of thing has
been INDUCED in by one side. At one
time, with lurid face and fiery eyes, he
hoarsely and slowly thundered these
shocking words into the face Of Beecher,
who gazed at him unmoved: "Seducer,
libertine, false priest, adulterer! These
are names by all these instruments of
utterance engraved on his forehead; all
the waters of Siloam's pool cannot wash
them away. None but the angel Of
mercy eau wipe them out with the hot
tears of an honest repentance. He is
sscrilegious adulterer. He has sinned
at the very altar His priestly robes are
besmeared with blasphemous lust, and
he cannot wipe the stain away with
brilliant rhetoric and glittering sophis-
try. Nor can all the shouts of his gOdly
sycophants still the accusing voice of his
God, or interrupt the current of pure and
undef1led justice. Henry Ward Beecher
must meet his deserved doom, or the
whole world will cry out against the in
fanny ofhis acquittal.n

From an Occasional Corre.pondent.l

From an Occasional Correspondent
BETHEL SPRINGS, M'NAIRY COUNTY,
June IS-The crop prospect of this
locality. upon which depends the well
fare and prosperity OF our people, was
never more promising under the cir
ou-ngt2nces. Farmers begun business
early in spring under the most dis
cgursgiug circumstances, though they
went 10 work with q vim that was cal
culated to bring success; necessity,
which acts IS 3 stimulus to industry
and economy, is, l think, having the de-
sired effect Just now. The corn crop is
very fine, IN good condition, and eX-
ceeds last years crop about twenty-five
Del cent. Cotton is a little late, though
I'm good condition and growing rapid.
Wheat. which is now being harvested,
Is greatly in excess Of last years crop in
area, viii yield q great deal more and
better grain than was generally expect
al 1t will be a great help, for il Is
much needed just now. Other small
grains and grasses promise a fair yield.
Stock is doing as well as is expected at
this season. Stock Taisers are giving
more attention to theirstOck than usual,
which is of vital importance. Oar
fsrners sre living frugal and have
guarded against gong IN debt. O1e
cause Of the hard times in our
county is that our Merchants are
not investing largely, aud have par
sialiy closed with the credit system,
which, If carried into effect gradually, is
essential TO the prosperity Of the country.
GrsnEaIs, who are numerous il our
county, are peTseveTiDg, and think
their efforts will eventually be crowned
with SUCCESS. The most important
feature in the progression Of our county,
II ID q state Of progression, is the in
clinatiOu snd efforts to advance educa-
ton, morals and religion; the only true
medium through which We can expect
the appTopstiOn and blessing Of Provi-
deuce. ". X. II.

Political POtnts.

Gov. Smith, of Georgia, is candidate
for reelection.
Ex-Governor Talbot's withdrawal from
the contest for Governor in Massachusetts,
has not simpiified matters great deal.
The friends Of the great ex-senator
Harlan in Iowa are in trouble. OF course
they want to send him back to the Senate,
and he is at present unfurling his silver
tongue on the stump for the furtherance of
that noble purpose. But Ex-Governor
Kirkwood, the Republican candidate for
Governor, has his eye on the seat in the
Senate also, and if he carries the State his
chances for stepping up higher will be a
good deal better than Mr.. Harlan's. The
thing the Harl:n men wish to do is to elect
a Republican Legislature by large
m jority and let Ex-Governor Kirkwood
squeeze in with SO small one that he will
be content to stay in the Governors chair.
Perhaps they can do it, but they stand
good deal better chance of being struck by
lightning.-N. Y. Tribune.
