Democratic FIrst-Fruits.

The first national result of the Demo-
cratic reaction of last year was the cleo
ton of Mr. Eaton, of Connecticut, 20 the
Senate of the United States. He was the
representative of the real sentiment and
tendency of his party, and in speech
made soon after his election he fore
shadowed the course in regard to the
amendments which Mr.. George Ticknor
Curtis elaborated in his letter to the
Manhattan Club after the New York
election. Mr.. Eaton has now made a
speech in the Senate. 1t is grave mis-
fortune for mere politician, OF whatever
local reputation, to be transferred to
that arena. If he speaks, the whole
country hears, and, despite the express
i've silence or the Jealous praise OF ms
party organs, he is measured by the pub
lie Judgment as surely as new boy at
school by his comrades, Mr. Eatons
speech shows conclusively that he is
bitter, narrow, unintelligent partisan,
! and nothing more. He was copper
head" during the war, and he has all the
spirit and tone of his class Wholly un-
important in himself, he is nevertheless
| the representative of party that aims
to control the Government. He is the
chosen leader of those who are now ap-
pealing to the people of Connecticut to
restore the Democratic party to power,
and his views must be accepted as those
| of his associates and followers.
The substance of his speech was a
declaration, reiterated and repeated, thai
the States of the Union are sovereign. IL
is A rather useless discussion, since the
war of four years has decided that they
! are not SO. Mr.. Eaton said his assertion
| that the States were Sovereign and in
dependent" was not heresy when Madl
son lived. He is mistaken. Mr.. Madi
son said in the convention of 1887, 1.-The
States never possessed the essentia
rights of sovereignty; these were always
vested in Congress-" He went on to say
that their voting, as States, even in thu
Congress of .he old Confederation, wa

A Bold Arowal Of secessionIsm.

II is well known that Mr.. William w.
Eaton, of Connecticut, now one of the
representative Democrats of the United
States Senate, was during the war an
avowed Copperhead and Secessionist.
The speech which he made last Saturday
on the Louisiana question shows that he
has not changed hairs breadth, and he
is today just what he was then.
"He claimed" says the report of his
speech, "that the Union was confeder
acy and not nation, and that the State
of Connecticut was sovereign power"
This is the exact doctrine of Calhoun
and jeff. Davis and all the nullifiers and
secessionists. 1t is a bold, unqualified
avowal of the extreme Southern Estate
rights" heresy. Upon this doctrine the
rebellion was begun and fought out.
Granting this doctrine the right of
secession inevitably follows. If the
| Union is mere confederacy and not an
integral nation, If it depends upon the
| pleasure of the several members, it each
State remains sovereign, then the Union
may be dissolved at any moment. 1t be-
comes simply rope of sand. The dec
laration, we repeat, is precisely the same
as that upon which jeff. Davis and all
his fellow traitors justified the rebellion.
To argue this question is to assume
that nothing has been determined by the
war except tine mere physical superior
ity of the North. The country had sup
posed that the war settled this doctrine
of secession forever. But here comes a
| leading Democratic Senator from Il
Northern State, just elected as the rep
resentative of his party, and declares as
| Democratic principle the extreme State.
rights creed of jeff. Davis. How do the
people like the exhibition?

Fearful Destruction Caused by the RE-
cent Tornado IN Georgia - Three
Hundred Persons Killed aud 800
Injured.
THE recent cyclone which passed over
this region was the most awful ever
heard of in the United States. l have
been along portion of its track, and,
having just returned, will endeavor to
give the readers of your paper an account
of it,
1t crossed the Chattahoochee River
from Lee County, Ala, and entered Har-
ris County, Ga. From thence it passed
through the counties of Talbot, Upson,
Monroe, Jones, Baldwin, Hancock, War
rem, McDuflie and Columbia. 1t crossed
the Savannah River fifteen miles above
Augusta, entered Edgefield County, S. c.,
passed through Barnwell, Lexington,
Richland, Sumter, Marion and Horny
Counties, OF that State, and finally ran
into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of
North Carolina.
A second cyclone, precisely at the
same time, seemed to have formed this
side of Milledgeville, crossed the Ogee-
chez River fifteen miles below the vii
lage of Mayfeld, in Hancock County,
and passing through Glascock and the
lower edge of Richmond crossed the Sa-
vannah twelve miles below Augusta, in
to Beech Island, S. c., and thence ran due
east into the Atlantic.
AS / was along the northern one of
these cyclones will more particularly
describe that. The two were exactly
alike in size, shape, color and devasta-
tion. They were both the most terrible
visitations ever sent by Providence upon
the States of Georgia and South Caro-
lima.
The cloud was, in color, inky black,
half mile high, half mile wide, was
cylindrical in shape, and travelled very
much like revolving barrel coming end
| foremost. 1t was illuminated with phos
phorescent light, and momentarily would
glitter as if 1,000,000 matches had been
ignited in it.
1t was accompanied by continuous
roaring sound, as of 500 cannon in the
decisive moments of pitched battle
The bravest man ever born could neither
have felt, seen, nor heard it with calm
ness. There was force and power, {
sublimitY and grandeur about it un
natural, awful, wholly its own. But ,
thousand incidents are related showing
that the hand of Providence was in it
that il was governed by laws as regula
and immutable as is the sun.
1t Travelled from west to little nortl
of due cast, going as straight as cram
or cannon ball would fly. 1t passe'
over the entire State of Georgia in exact
ly three hours, travelling at the rate o
fifty-tlree miles per hour.

will not fall below 800, and the wounde

An ImDudent Fellow.

Mr.. Hepworth Dixon's new book on
America, entitled "The White Con-
quest" has the following ancedote OF a
"heathen Chinee :" "You can form
no notion of the impudence of these ras-
cals," says a San Francisco magnate,
denouncing the Chinese. "Only the
other day, in our rainy season, when the
mud was fifteen inches deep in Mont
gomery street, yellow chap, in fur tip
pet and purple satin gown, was crossing
over the road by plank, when one Of
our worthy citizens, seeing how nicely
he was dressed, more like a lady than a
tradesman, ran on the plank to meet
him, and, when the fellow stopped and
stared, just gave him little jerk, and
whisked him, with a waggish laugh, into
the bed of slush. Ha ha You should
have seen the crowd of people mocking
the impudent heather Chinee as he
picked himself up in his soiled tippet
and satin gown p "Did any one in the
crowd stand drinks all rounds" "Well,
no that heathen Chinee rather turned
the laugh aside" "Ah; how was
that p "No white man can conceive
the impudence of these Chinese. Moon
face picked himself up, shook off little
of the mire, and, looking mildly at our
worthy citizen, curtseyed like girl,
saying to him, in a voice that every one
standing round could hear: You

Nets for the hair are also gradually
coming into fashion again. They are
made of loosely woven soft braids, and
protect smooth knots of hair from the
rough autumn winds.
The newest and most dressy suits OF
black cashmere are trimmed with many
rows of steel or silver soutache, or else
with one row of wide black velvet braid
plaided with silver or gilt.
Grelots and agrafes of passementerie
made of cords and tassels are now used
on pockets aud down the fronts OF
sacks and all kinds of wraps. Pockets
have come to be indispensable, and these
old-fashioned ornaments are revived to
beautify them.

UncomprOmising Honesty.

The other day man with q gaunt
look halted before an eating stand at the
Central market, Detroit, says the Free
Press, and after long survey OF the
yiands he said to the woman:
81 am poor man, but I'll be honest
If I have to be buried in Paupers'
Field"
"What's the matter now2" asked
the woman, regarding him with suspi-
cion.
"No one saw me pick up 500 bill
here by this stand early his morning,
but as [ said before I'll be honest"
"A'S20 bill-pick upi" she whisper
ed, bringing a bland smile TO her face.
"I suppose" he continued, "that
some one passing along here could have
dropped such a bill, but it seems more
reasonable to think that the money was
lost by you"
Don't talk quite so loud," she said,
as she leaned over the stand. "You are
an honest man, and I'll have your name
put in the papers so that all may know
it. I'm hard working widow, and if
you hadn't brought back that money it
would have gone hard with my poor
little children"

he remarked between bites.
"That's right. If found any money
belonging to you I'd give it up, you bet
Have mother cup OF coffee?"
"Don't-care-fidoo," he said, as he
jammed more ham into his mouth.
Even courtships have an ending. The
old chap finally began to breathe like a
fouudered horse, and pretty soon after
that he rose from the table.
"You are a good man to bring my
lost money hack" said the woman, as
she brushed away the crumbs.
