Amid all this scene of destruction and
confusion the grandest, the most awful
spectacle was the ocean itself. There
were no regular troughs and crests, but
now here, now thare, u huge mountain
of water would rise, and, its heights all
ragged with foam and spray, like an
avenging monster it would rush forward,
lsshing the ioamy beach relentlessly, and
sending its waters far among the cottages
of the settlement. 1t seemed as if each
new mountain which reared its head was
more sublime and awe-striking than any
that had come before. The roar OF the
surf and the pounding of the huge crests
against each other was deafening. oees-
sionally gust of wind more fierce than
the rest, would catch an isolated blllow
and carry it, like water-spout, far IN
land.

Fire Last Night

A CARRIAGE FACTORY BURNED AT 18th AND
MARKET sTREErs-Isoes e3, 900. -rr
The carriage factory Of Messrs. Bullock
d Myers, at 10Th and Market streets, near
Brandywine bridge, was discovered to be
on fire, about IL. 10 thisymorning, and be-
fore any Of the fire companies could arrive,
the flames had gained so much headway
that very little could be done except to pre-
vent the extension Of the fire to adioipi51
property. The building, which Was a new
two-story brick, is a complete wreck. It
belonged to ]. ]. Gallagher, druggist. who
estimates his loss at about 81 ,000, on which
there ia no insurance.
Messrs. Bullock and Myers lose their
entire stock of tools, paints, varnishes,
trimmings, and other materials, and con-
siderable amount Of unfinished work, also
new extension-top wagon, which was to
have been shipped to- day. They estimate
their loss at from 1880 to $4,000, on which
there is an insurance of $500. Two car
rlages which were IN the show room, one
OF them undergoing repairs, we're got out
uninjured.
The fire is supposed to have been the
work OF an incendiary, as there was no fire
in any OF the stoves in the building. One
Of the men employed by the firm was work
ing there until half past nine last night,
and one OF the proprietors examined the
premises about an hour later and found
everything secure. Policeman Orr passing
a few minutes before twelve, also reported
everything all right at that time. The fire
was first discovered by gentleman coming
in from Brandywine, who Immediately ran
to the Phoenix engine house and gave the
alarm.

PROGRESS OF AFFAIRS IN SOUTH CAROLINA,
FLORIDA AND LoUIsIANA-MoRE REvOLB-
rIoNARx TACTICS PROPOSED By THE DEMO-
GRATIS.
The New York Times summary says {:
Our dispatches from South Carolina this
morning intimate that the anomalous con-
dition Of affairs there will be ended to-day,
by the election from the House of the per-
Sons claiming to have been elected from
Edgefield and Laurens Counties. IL is un-
derstood in Columbia that the President
will recognize the House as organized un-
der Speaker Mackey. The Democrats ap-
pear to have had some information from
Washington to this effect, as also the Re-
publicans. The situation was discussed at q
meeting Of the Cabinet yesterday, which
lasted several hours. There has been no
interruption of the session Of the Legisla-
ture since Thursday morning. The Demo-
Gratis, in view of the probable action Of the
Government, seem to have determined to
eecede in body, set up Legislature of
their own, House and Senate both, and to
declare Hampton Governor. s.
In Florida, the Oanvaesing Board heard
more testimony yesterday, in respect to the
vote Of Archer Township of Alachua coun-
ty and the evidence given by the two wit
ho1bon AOA 1no OcLnOOAhuo Fb10 ohJ BoAOLo
was completely disproved. The Republi
cans also put in conclusive proof Of Demo-
cratic frauds in Jackson and other counties,
which was of such a character that the
board must throw out the vote of many of
the precincts. The returns from Dade
county have not yet been received. n
The Louisiana Returning Board held it's
last session for hearing evidence yesterday
and then went into executive session to
prepare their report. The Northern DEM
ocratic Committee have issued the address
which it was stated they WOULD They frd
no fault with the way the Board has con-
Quoted its proceedings, but claim that TIL
den should be elected on the face Of the
returns, and that all the intimidatfUngUf Re
publican voters had nothing to do with pol
iitics, being simply the results Of general
laWlessness in the back districts. ~

ODESSA, DEL, Dec. lat our new hall,
on Wednesday evening, the Odessa Dramat-
10 Association presented the -well-known
comedy "Everybody's Friend" It gave
great pleasure, and the universal Judgment
WAS that all the parts were well sustained.
Mr.. Brown personated Felir Featherly and
Mr.. Perry Icebrook, the bashful lover, while
Mr.. Woodall had the part Of Major De
Boots. and presented 1t admirably. Mr.
Polk won applause as Trap, the
pompous lfootman. The characters taken
by the ladies were equally well sustained by
Misses Watkins, Vandyke, Mccoy and Ba-
ker, each acting in a manner at all times
natural, and causing all to appreciate their
several characters as they 30 forcibly por-
trayed them. - '@ A'-' y
The music WAS furnished by the social or
chestra, whose strains enlivened the occa-
sion. The scenery contract was taken by
Mr.. Field, OF Field, Wise, and Rudy, scenic
and fresco artists, and the paint
ng was designed and executed
by O. Day Rudy Of Harrisburgh, Pa. The
work is well deserving of nall eulogies that
have been passed upon it! II.

whatever scheme of economy may be prac-
ticed will not begin at the end Of our vital
necessities. The proposition was an ex-
traordinary one, and that IL should have
been made by Mr.. Caven, who ia the repre-.
sentative Of the best ideas in Councils, is
one of the straDgest things about it. How
made more talk than many matters do
which involve greater sums Of money.
There are nearly 1000 teachers and each
is the centre not only Of q little group
more or less dependant upon her labors,
but each has friends and relatives interested
for her; so that no public question scarcely,
could enlist greater amount Of interest.
Furthermore, the people concerned are
among the most respectable and intelligent
in the community. .7so .F8

TIIden,s wIscon.in scheme,

The Chicago Journal of Friday evening
says: SIT tbs an open secret here that Mr.
Tilden made the direct attempt to buy up
the voters Of an entire State. Money was
sent to Wisconsin, by his direction, for that
purpose. The amount and his agents are
perfectly well known in political circles
here. His attempt to buy votes enough at
the North to elect him failed. His only
hope left is in the bull-dozers who are
armed out Of his private purse" l-.s5.
