THE GREAT STORM IN TEXAS.
(From the HeraId)

The special dispatches which we print
to-day [2Oth Sept.] give the first ineligible
report of the tremendous damage done by
the recent storm in the Cult OF Mexico.
Not merely Galveston suffered, but the
tornado extended as far as Austin, and a
vast region, extending more than two
hundred miles from the coast, felt its fury.
The violence of the wind exceeded that OF
any gale known for many years, and in
mense quantities of water fell. Along the
coast of Texas the tide rose. twenty feet,
and the prairie became a sea. Railroads
were submerged, bridges destroyed, cattle
drowned, little towns absolutely swept
away, immense damage was done to the cot
ton crop, and the streets OF Houston, Gal
weston and Austin were flooded. 1t IS pro-
bable that Corpus Christi, Indianola, Ma
tagorda and other towns on the coast have
been equally unfortunate. Southern Tex
as for an area of thousands of miles has
evidently been deluged with water
and swept by the tempest, and Its con-
dition is not unlike what would be the
state of Holland if her bikes should break
and the Zuyder Zee come rushing upon
her plains. j..
Galveston, as the principal port Of
Texas, has experienced the greatest loss in
shipping, but fortunately precautions
were taken to save the goods stored in
her warehouses. Still the loss'i in Calves
ton alone is FIVE millions of dollars. Hous-
toms loss is probably one million, and it
is impossible to estimate the damage done
to the smaller towns. A vague idea can
be formed from the disconnected and i'm
perfect reports we have received. When
the railroads and telegraph8 arc repaired,
and communication is restored, it is likely
that the losses will be found to exceed the
figures we have given. Fortunately the
loss of life appears to have been much
less than might have been expected but
when the isolated towns are heard from,
and the wrecks upon the coast are known,
we fear that hundreds of people will be
missing. Such a calamity as this IS ma
tional, and must command for its victims
the sympathy Of the whole country,
Thousands of people must suffer from the
destruction of their homes and property,
and we need not urge the citizens of New
York to once more extend a he Iping hand
to their unfortunate fellow countrymen.
The duty is plain and It's performance
should be prompt.

Or. menr,ae,s consea.rnssa ren.

During his residence in China, DR..
Mcbride discovered the wonderful
efficacy of the combination of differ
ent Teas for the cure of Diseases,
operating specifically on the Kidneys
and regulating all the SecrctiOns.
The Doctor became acquainted with
this remedy through three of the
mos celebrated Chinese Physicians.
They called ii Il Combined Extract Of
Different KiudsOf Teas, which had The
most extraordinary success in rulicv-
ing suffering humanity, and is supe-
riOr to his King of Pain, with which
he has for 20 many years been per
forming thousands of wUuderful cures
of the most obstinate and complicated
diseases III all parts Of the country
from Maine To California. DR.. Ne
Brides success, heretofore, has been
without a parable! in Medical Prac-
tiCc; and his last and most important
discovery although of recent date
has already cured thousands, and is
destined to meet with unbuuuded
success in bauisbing disease and re-
storing health and happiness to af-
iicted humanity. The wonderful
power of the Worlds Relief, consists
in restoring the equilibrium of the
circulating uuIuS-ut which the blood
is the chief; exercising reactionary
influence upon disturbed electric
forces of the system, producing com
plcte absorption of all morbid
growths, positively annihilating ma
larial attacks upon the general econ
omy, and stimulating the latent
energies of the whole being into
healthy activity. An attempt has
been made to enumerate the number
of minutes or hours necessary for the
Worlds Relief to relieve or cure any
given disease; but in a majority of
cases the time is too short for pructi-
cal computation. Female weak
nesses, and diseases of all kinds,
treated successfully by DIR. Mcbride
ut his Office.
Doctor Mcbride is now in this CITY,
stopping at Dyer's Hotel, where he
will attend to all who desire to see
him. ap21-dlt

Laramie City is In agony! The
rolling mills were tested again on
Monday, and found to be perfect, but
after the experiment the town and
the people are reported to have hcru
so blackcncd by the smoke and soot as
to ie next to uurccoguiZablC. The
mill is so situated, that whenever it
starts work the wind carries the SCOT
and smoke right into the town, black
cuing the buildings and the faces Of
the inhabitants, and filling the eyes,
ears, noses, mouths and lungs of the
good people up there, with nasty,
dirty SCOT and smoke. This Is next to
intolcrable. Laramie City has had a
reputation for pure air, clear watcr,
indebted religion, and unsullicd poll
tics, that was really attractive abroad,
and made consumptives, estimates.
and persons ailing frsm general de-
bili;y, long to sit in the shadow OF its
west mountain, and sniff the pure
breeze hal rushed 10y at the rate Of
forty miles an hour on an average.
But alas! its reputation is ahout gone.
No more pure air or clear water for
Laramie! Smoke and SCOT and SCOT
and smoke are all that is left of its
former greatness.
There is still IL hope for the place.
st the next term of the District Court
the Grand Jury can lndict the rolling
mill rs n public nuisance.

Il Religious Candidate.

The Philadelphia Times says: !: "Declare
Church and State forever separate and
distinct, but each free within their proper
speres,' says President Grant in his mes
sage, with a political soundness less ques-
tionable than his grammar. We wonder
if lie will consider it within the proper
sphere of the Church to nominate him for
the third term. If not, he would better
tell his friend Bishop Gilbert Haven SO
without delay, for this is just what Bishop
Haven and his associates of The Sabbath
School Union and Tract Society of the
Methodist Episcopal Church of the United
States in annual meeting assembled in
the city OF Boston, have been doing. 1t is
formal nomination, as we understand it,
and comes from All eminently respectable
body of MIR. Grants own co-religionists /:
he should, therefore, lose no time in ac
cep:ing or declining it. The country will
be interested to know if the next Presi-
DENTAL campaign is to- be conductd-nCt by
political parties, but-by religious sects
1t is tue that Bishop Haven-or Gill as
he is famiiarly called i'll New England-is
a good deal of fool, but there appears to
have been no hesitation among the as
sembled elders and brethren in following
his lead.''
The New York Sun on the same sub-
ject has this to say The first gudgeou
Grant has hooked with his Third Term bait
Is Bishop Haven of the Methodist Church
THAT political ecclesiastic asked his
presbyters three startling questions Shall
the Northern people rule the nation ?'
Shall the Puritan or the Cavalier be the
ruler?' Shall Boston or Charleston be tbe
centre :? These conundrums seemed to
puzzle the Methodist parsons, but thew
need not have done SO. The riddle is easily
read.
'.Of course the Northern people. as sucb
Will not rule the nation. The majority Of
voters hold the reins of power in tbis Re.
public. There are no such classes as Pm
ritan and Cavalier in this country. and So
neither of them can rule the nation. Two
or three hundred years ago they existed in
England, and representatives of the one
class came over to New England and few
of the other to Virginia. NOWADAYS. and in
this country, there are no such thing as
Purtans and Cavaliers. As matter of
fact, too, the people Of the South. where
the Third Term bishop puts the Cavaliers
are more Puritan, so far as religious prac.
tices go, than New England now is. -

HAVE THE CABINET ADOPTED GRANTS
ANTI-CATHoLIC PoLICY.-E. X. Dunne
was Chief Justice of the Territory of Ari-
zona. On Saturday last he was removed
from that Office by order of the President
of the United States. Chief Justice
Dunno is a Catholic and has been zeal
Gus opponent of the common school sys-
tenn. 1t seems that he had requested that
If he should be removed, his removal might
be put upon the ground of his opposition
to the schools. The Washington CORES
pondent of the Herald says:
"In notifying him that his successor had
been appointed, the Attorney General added
that, since he requested to have his removal
IL 1t was decided upon, made upon the
school question, he might, if he chose, re-
gard that as the controlling reason"
Mr.. Pierrepont may have regarded this
as joke but we think that in view of re-
cent developments, the country will hardly
look at 1t III that light. The removal of a
man from high judicial station is hardly
an appropriate occasion for pleasantly.
And If we are to accept this as done in
earnest. as removal of public officer be-
canse he does not sympaJhize with Presi-
dent Grants views of what he, the Presi-
dent, calls priestcraft, what then? Whv.
then we already have an Administration
conducted on an Anti Catholic basis.
That, with what may come of it, is all.
But what may come of it NAV be a great
deal.-N. Y. Sun.

GENERAL O. f. BABcoCK, one of
President Grants private and conf
de:itial secretaries, was indicted last
week 10y the Grand Jury at St Louis,
for completely in the Wholesale whisky
frauds in that city, the Investigation
and judicial exposure of which by the
United States Court of Missouri has at
tracted such general attention through
out the country. OF course every one
accused of a criminal offence is pre-
sumcd to be innocent until his guilt is
established. General Babcock, there's
fore, has a right to be heard before a
Jury of his country. That he will be
given a full, fair and impartial trial
we do not doubt The most singular
feature of the case is, that even before
the Grand Jury had indicted Babcock,
he made a written request to his friend
Grant demanding the appointment of
a military board to hear and determine
the question of his guilt or innocence
Grant promptly complied with Bah
cocks request, and appointed Lieut..
Gen. Sheridan, Gen. Hancock and Gen.
Terry as the members of said board.
They met In Chicago last week and as
soon as they organized, adjourned
temporarily, until Babcock's trial at
st. Louis should be terminated and a
verdict rendered This result was
brought about by General Hancock,
who knows the difference between cipil
and military law. The question is,
why should not Babcock be tried like
any other private citizen, and why did
Grant assume to have him tried 9TH
erwise? His offense, if lie committed
any, was against the ciril and not
against the military law. Grant, how
ever, never knew and never will know
or appreciate the difference between
them. In this instance, Hancock has
once more shown that, although a SOL
dier. he understands the constitution
of his country. If General Babcock
disproves the allegations made against
him the fact will be as acceptable to us
as to his friend U. S. Grant.
