AMEs said the blood Of twenty-five
or thirty negroes would help the Radi-
cal party. He has got the amount
called for, but the result does not sus-
tain his theory. Neither Grant nor
PicFrepont seem willing to trust any
longer to the virtue of the bloody
shirt. Morton tested it in Maine and
the result was anything but satisfae-
tory aud it is supposed that he washed
and hung it up TO dry. a.fr. rra

THE New York Democracy assem-
bled at Syracuse on the 10th and, as
anticipated, pledged the party to early
resumption. New York is a money
centre and its localinterests must take
precedence of those Of the whole
country besides. The Democrats there
love the principles of the party and
depise Radicals, but in support of
money monopoly, they will pray for
Radical success, whilst they hurrah
for Democracy. Sucl. friends are the
most dangerous enemies to any good
cause.

Ex-PREsIDENT Folks will, lately
republished, contains some curious if
not impossible provisions under our
laws. He provides that after the death
of his wife the State Of Tennessee
shall become trustee through the
GayeraoF Or Legislature to trasmit his
homestead to the naars-t Of his kin of
the Polk name, or if that should
run out, to the next of kin of any
other name worthy to hold the trust.
In 40 event is the State of Tennessee
to become the owner Of the property.
The object of the will is simply TO
keep the property in the Polk family
in regular line of descent. Some
nice questions of law are involved, and
will some day arise. The name. Of
Jas. K. Polk will always be revered by
the people of Tennessee, and they
would gladly accept the trust be has
imposed. and earry.out his wishes if
practicable. But If MIR. Polk can cre-
ateau indefeasible trust for the pur-
pose of perpetuatihg title to certain
property through a regular line Of
descent or sarsanguity, any other cit
zen can entail bis property On his

The intrinsic value Of aold. yester.

The intrinsic, value Of gold, yester-
day, was 117l. Not because green
backs have deprecated to that extent,
but because gold, under the policy of
the government, is accumulated in a
few hands, and being still recognized
as the highest standard of values,
Wall street brokers can SO manipulate
it as to depress. not only the currency
forced upon thecountry, but real estate
and all the products of labor. Were
greenbacks the only circulating me-
dunn. there could be no appreciation
or depreciation of its value. because
there could be no fictitious standard
by which to estimate it as measure
of value.

The Gale.

New ORLEANS, La, Sept. 50.-Thc
Times, from information obtkined from
passengers. gives the following account
Of the storm at Galveston:
To briefly summarize the disaster:
A gale from the south by Wednesday
at midday reached such proportions
that the captains of steamers accus-
toned for generations to traversing
these portions Of the gulf declined to
put to sea. Also simultaneously with
this determination. came report that
q shipyard at the extreme eastern end
Of the island had been inundated, and
men were fleeing for their lives. A
rapidly falling barometer indicated an
increase of the storm, and the waters
of the gulf, which is on the south side
of the island andin the rear of the city,
gradually commenced to increase. The
gardens of scattered residences skirt
ing the beach were soon overlooked,
the water during the day reached a
depth oftwo feet.
THE WHOLE ISLAND SUBMERGED.
Ali day long and during Thursday
it blew hurricane, pushing the Gull
water over the entire island, and Gov
ering the highest elevation to a depth
of two feet and half. This ridge EN-.
braces an area of perhaps twelve blocks
of buildings, extending from Mechanic
street to Market, a distance of two
squares latitndinalIy, and from Center
street TO Bath avenue, about si1
squares longitudinally. In the entire
east and west ends of the city the
water rose to sufficient depth to foa,
the large wooden edifces, many o.
which are very valuable. t

AN EFFORT AT COMBINATION.

A long consultation took place in New

j. Jewett, of the Erie Railway, Com
modore Vanderbilt, of the New York

Pennsylvania Central Railroads, for the
purpose, if possible, of making ar
rangements for the benefit of the three
lin s. The subject of an increase in the
present schedule of rates was under
discussion, but ultimately had to be
abandoned for the present.
The future plan of the management
OF the lines on more amlcable basis
was also canvassed at great length, but
lett unaltered for the present. Receiv-
er Jewett, however. expresses the hope
that ere long everything will be salts
factorily arranged between the three
