Democratic Wire.PuIIing.

Tho Boston Commonwealth throws out these
suggestions "There has been singular rli-
NOR current the past week that certain controll-
ing Democrats in New York State are much in-
terested in the result Of the nomination for Gov
ernor in this State. They believe that 1t is the
wisest policy to renominate and re-elect Gov.
CASTOR. With this reimbursement as Demo-
cratic Governor in a strongly Republican State,
thew think he will prove the most available cam
didste for them for the Presidency the ensuing
year. He will have no embittered opponents
he is comparatively unknown great capital can
be made Of his popularity at home ; he is identi-
fed with no dstracting questions or contendlng
factions, and he seems to be the man upon
whom the party can most readily and thoroughly
unite. This is their argument, and, what is more
to the purpose, they are willing to spend large
amount of money to bring the scheme about.
It is even said that they are ready to pay heavily
to secure the election, If the nomination is given
by the Democracy. The sum Of 5000 900 is men-
toned as that easily to be raised for this purpose.
That these things have been written from New
York by prominent Democrats there is no doubt.

,CheIaIe Storms.

Thepeople living in the several villages along
the banks of Mill River. Mass, were badly
frightened on Wednesday night in consequence
of the overflow of that turbulent stream at vari-
GUS points, and having in vivid remembrance
the disaster of last year, they bstook them
SELVES to the high grounds, fearful OF a
repetition of the terrible affair. Beyond the
washing away of couple of dams and one or
two bridges, however, no serious damage was
done, although the streets of most of the vii
lagos were flooded. The storm appears to have
been general throughout the New England
States, and heavy damage q reported from New
Jersey and New York. At last accounts the
Mississippi was still rising at Memphis, and the
weather report promises that it will continue to

| PHILADELPHIA FRIENDS "hovKD."
| From special Correspondent
AT THE OAMP WEDNESDAY Aug 10.
On account of the heavy rains of yesterday
and to-day, the grounds are now in some places
quite muddy. A few hours Of sunshine how
ever, will make the going good, and it Is clear
this evening, with a cool breeze, we are hoping
for fair day tomorrow.
This morning, the prayer-meeting was led by
Rev. Mr.. Kramer, OF Asbury church. His re-
marks were as inspiring as battle cry, with
drums beating and bugles sounding, and many of
| the oldest soldiers OF the cross present were
moved in both body and soul. Three who had
been bred Quakers were moved by the spirit in a
manner quite unusual among Friends. One de-
clared he felt the "power" to the ends of his
fingers, and another paced UP and down the tent
and now and then his feet would both rise from
the ground at once. The meeting was one Of
genuine feeling; perhaps the most earnest that
has yet been held at the camp this year.
At 10 O'Clock Rev. ]. 8. Lame of Philadel-
phia preached from Genesis, 48:18- :" The Angel
that redeemed me from, all evil.' He taught
that every man may be fully saved from sin, re-
deemed from all evil. Speaking OF the trifes
which some persons allow to prevent them from
serving God, he said siRiding along one day,
saw man in = cornfelds with > gun pointing
toward flock of crows. waited, every mo-
mant expecting TO hear report, aud to see
bird fall, but coming nearer, at length, discov
cred it was only scare crow Some persons
would like to come into tbe "vineyard OF the
Lord" but they are afraid Of the devils gun.
They-sre hindersd by ridicule, sneers or some-
thing from that weapon. Do not be 30 easily
frightened !" -....5
At 28o, Rev Mr.. Kramer preached, taking
three texts" Ye shall receive power after that
the Holy Ghost is come upon you" " The Spirit
searcheth all things, yea, the deep things Of
God" Grieve not the Holy Spirit" The SER
mon was all able presentation Of the enlighten-
ing influence and saving power of the Holy
Spirit.
At night, Rev. E. ]. McKeever, OF Kennett
Square, preached, taking for his text "There
is . spirit in man and the inspiration of the AL
mighty gveth him understanding" Rev. X. is
a young man of modest derneanor, good delivery
and ready thought-and gives good promise OF
usefulness. n
The chidren's meeting was held in the tent
Of the Wilmington Company. 1t WAS some-
what interrupted by heavy showers, yet large
number were present and several arose for
prayers. II.

New Fire BOAt.

THE u. q H. co. AT WORK UPON NEW DESIGN IN
MARINE ARCHITECTURE.
The Harlan & Hollingsworth Co. have received
the contract and are now preparing to build q
fire boat for the New Harbor Protection Co. Of
New Orleans. under an entirely new
design. In general appearance
the new boat will not be unlike a tug, and
is similarly propelled, but at speed Of from If
teen to sixteen miles per hour The dimensions
will be 122 feet long, beam 80 feet, and depth Of
hold IS feet. The entire construction will be of
iron, including decking, wheel-house &c.
The forward portion OF the vessel will be
devoted to large tank in which carbonio acid
gas will be generated after the principle of the
Baboock Fire extinguisher, the design being to
apply a gaseous spray to flames, rather than the
flooding of cargoes with water as is now 30 often
the case, in efforts to put out fires on shpboard.
Steam pumps, however, will be put upon the
boat for use when needed.

stand as in 1871, the Democratic majority will be
about FIVE hundred less than in 1871. Harlan
will poll about ninety-one thousand, as against
eighty-nine thousand in 1871, and this with
all the power of the State against the
Republicans, with the encouragement Of
of Democratic victories last Fall, and notwith-

The Kenney Case.

FEELING GENERALLY IN FAVOR OF MR.. KENNEY-HE
rs IMPROVING IN HEALTH.
The discussion of the charges against Rev. Mr..
Kenney continues at the camp-meeting, as well
as elsewhere and the tendency of opinion sets
strongly in his favor Even the n lifed charge
made in Mrs. VanMeters written statement is
pronounced without foundation, but it is said
that il it were true, 1t would be excused by Mr..
Kenney's mental disturbance.
Mr. Kenney is now recovering from his pros
traton. His physician thinks he has passed the
crisis Of his attack, and yesterday he was more
rational. Both he and his friends simply ask a
suspension Of Judgment in his case until his re-
covery.
Mrs. VanNIeter is still at the camp but her
boarding tent is not very we'll patron2ed.
few persons about the camp take her version of
the story and are very hostile to Mr. Kenney,
but the weight Of opinion is the other way.
