TERRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE.

Dispatches from Calcutta, under date
of Nov. 20, give the following addition
al information In regard to a terrible cy-
clone which passed over portions OF In
dia, and by which bully 10000 lives
were lost:
Three large islands, namely, Haitian,
Sundeep, and Dakhan Shahabazhare,
and numerous other smaller islands IN
cluded in Backergunge, Nookholly and
Chittagong, were entirely submerged by
the storm-wave of Oct. 81, as was also
the mainland for five or six miles. These
islands are all in or near the estuary OF
the river Megua. The largest, Dakhan
Shahabazhare, was 200 square miles In
$40, 600. Hattiah and Sundeep, togeth
er, had about 10000 population. Up
to about IL o'clock on the night of the
31st, there were no signs of danger, but
before midnight wave swept over the
country to the depth, in many places, of
twenty feet, surprising the people in
their beds. Dense groves of cocoanut
and palm trees around the villages ena-
bled many TO save themselves by elm
ing among tire branches. Some took
refuge on the tops of their houses, but
the water burst the houses asunder and
swept them out to sea. Some were car
ried thus across the channel, ten miles,
to the Chittagong district, but the vast
majority were never heard of again. The
country is perfectly fiat, and almost
every one persisted who failed to reach
the trees. There is scarcely household
on the islands, and on the adjacent coast
but lost many members. The cattle are
all drowned, the boats are swept away,
and the means of communication with
the other districts is destroyed. There
is much distress among the survivors,
which the government is relieving. The
Government Gazette says that wherever
the storm wave passed it is believed that
not third of the population survived.
The islands have barely one-fourth of
their former Inhabitants. The stencil
from the putrefying bodies is ipsuffer
able, and general outbreak of the chol-
era is expected. A correspondent says
that this fear is happily not realized, ex-
cept in Nookholly, where the disease
has appeared.

FOR SPEAKER, ]. B. OOSSODAY.

We heartily endorse the following
from the GAINESVILLE Gazette, believing
that lie the person of Mr.. Cossoday the
Assembly will have an able conscientious
speaker:
Now that election is over we wish to
commend to the members elect OF the
legislature and to the press of the state,
the name of Hon. J. B. Cassoday, of
this city, as a candidate for speaker Of
the next assembly. Public sentiment as
indicated in correspondence and through
editorial suggestions in several of the
more influential republican journals of
the state, has already referred to Mr..
Cassoday's eminent qualifications for
the position and has suggested the
wisdom of such selection. We can as
sure the public that if Mr.. Cassoday
should be chosen speaker he will justify
tl-eir ostinaeto Of nlo et~~se lie il
thorough republican, an able lawyer, a
man of judicial texture of mind, of rare
practical Judgment, in full sympathy
with popular impulses and yet SO clear
and Just in his convictions as to be safely
entrusted with the administration of i'm
portant affairs His interchangeable in
dustry and faithful and Conscientious
discharge of duties assigned him are q
part of his nature so that whatever he
undertakes is worked out step by step
with tenacity which never yields until
he is the master of whatever he under
takes. Mr.. Cassoday does net seek
official positions if this o. any other
office should be conferred upon him, it
will be upon merit and because The mem
bers of the party regard him, all things
considered, as the best man; and wheth-
er he should be chosen or not to any
place for which the partiaiity of his
friends may recommend him, he will
work for the success of his political prin-
ciples in whatever position may be as
signed him, and be satisfied that that is
his proper field of effort. We are glad
to know that there are number of good
men elected as members Of the coming
legislature each one of whom would
fill the position of Speaker of the AS
sembly with honor to himself; but we
are very sure that there are none to
whom the Republicans of the State could
more safely trust the important duties
of presiding officer of the popular branch
of that body than to J. B. Cassoday, or
who would bring to the discharge of
those duties a more intimate knowledge
of the laws of the State and of the varied
material interests of the people.

AN indication of the feeling in finan-
cial circles as to the effect of the election
of Tilden, much stronger than can be
shown by any other evidence, is the
fuctuation Of government bonds as the
reports of election seem to favor one
side or the other. When it appeared
that Tilden had been succ essful bonds
dropped in value and the sales were dull.
Since the probability has been steadily
growing that Hayes is the sue cessful
man, bonds have gone up and renewed
activity and confidence is felt in financial
circles. So important bearing has po
litical result upon finances that our lea
ding fnanciers have kept European cap
italists informed of every change in the
situation, and the greatest anxiety OBJ
tains in Europe over the final result.
That there should be any uneasiness
proves that the apprehensions all arise
from possibility of Republican defeat,
for there has been no feeling of doubt
under Republican rule that the national
obligations were to be relied up on,
while change in the government leave
the whole question in the most uncer :
tain shape.

HE ELECTION GOES TO THE HOUSE.

THE ELECTION Goes TO THE House.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: "My son, said a
pious father out ON South Hill to his
hopeful son, ''you did not saw any wood
for the kitchen stove yesterday as told
you to, you left the back gate open and
let the COW get out, you cut off eighteen
feet from the clothes-line to make las
so, you stoned Mr.. Robison's pet dog
and famed it, you put hardshell turtle
in the hired girls bed, you tied strange
dog to Mrs Jacobson's doorbell, and
hung your sisters hustle out in thefront
window. What am I to do, what can
do to you for such conduct :' care all
the counties heard from ?'' asked the
candidate. The father replied, sternly,
''No trifiing, sir; no, I have yet several
reports to receive fro m others of the
neighbors. s'Then," replied the boy,
ssyou will not be justified in proceeding
to extreme measures until the official
count is in" Shortly afterward the
election was thrown into the house, and
before half the votes were canvassed it
was evident, from the peculiar intona-
ton of the applause, that the boy was
badly beaten.

The Milwaukee Wisconsin of yestel

day contains the following romance:
4 wonderful romance has Just come to
the ear of society in this city. The
story may be expected in full in all of
the social columns of Western newspapers
before long. It is alluded to here very
briefly for the benefit oE those who have
not CHANGED to hear it. In one of our
orphan asylums there has dwelt for
some years prepossessing girl who is
just II years of age. The death of her
mother and the strange disappearance of
her father when she was in herl2th year
left her friendless and dependent upon
charity. The home of the family was in
Granville, and the girl had been pupil
Of Mr.. William Stapleton, who was at
the time teaching school in that town.
During the short period that Mr.. Sta
pleton was in the grocery business at
Wauwatosa, prior to going into the Sen
tlnel office, he lost sight of his unfortu-
nate pupil, not to see her again until
they met at the Orphan Asylum, where
he was doing some light reporting. Nat
uraily sympathy sprang mp between
the two, but the youthfulness of the mai
den prevented anything like declara-
alton of love. Now to the beautiful end
ing-and surely a story never ended
more satisfactorily A few DAYS ago
the long lost father Of the young lady
was heard from, in kalamazoo, where
by some lucky strike he had made his
fortune. The girl is beautiful, sweet
seventeen and an heiress, and she
and the young man of the Sentinel
are now betrothed. Every newspaper
man in the country will congratulate the
happy pair.

The COOP TINE TO CONE THE de-
cline of government bonds even before
it is certainly known that Tilden has
been elected has a significant bearing
upon the promise of good times held out
as an lnducement to the minimizing clas-
ses to vote the Democratic ticket. This
decline affords glimse of the business
depression absolutely certain to be ex-
perienced if Hayes has been defeated.
A change in the administration which
makes complete revolution in the pol
icy of the government probable must
naturally have disquieting effect upon
all business interests, and while the fu-
ture course of the dominant party is I'M
known the state of uncertainty can have
but one effect-to unsettle financies,
and PROSTATE commerce and manufac-
lures. Such must surly be the effect,
and for at least six month there will be
state of hard times such as this country
has not seen for twenty years. We do
not say there might not be a reaction,
but the interval would be terrible, and
the suffering among the poor frightful
to contemplate. Las Common

Gov. HAYES has shown by his bearing
during the canvass and since the election
that he is eminently worthy of the high
Office for which he has been named and
to which there would be no question of
his election if there had been an honest
and free vote IN all the states. He has
been dignified, reserved and modest in
the expression of his views on the can
vass, and what he has said has been in
stinct with noble principal and an exal-
ted idea of personal and political honor
and integrity. In recent conversation
he is reported to have said:
Any man fit to be President, or even a can
didate of a great party for the office, would
prefer to be counted out by fraud rather than
be couted in by fraud of which there is rea-
sonabe suspicion.
Imagine Sham Tilden uttering such a
sentiment in this emergency, or acting
in accordance with it

The NEXT HoUsE.-The table giving
list of the Forty-ffth Congress will
not be published until the districts now
in dispute are settled. This is the latest
figuring of the New York Times onCon-
gress: sour latest dispatches leave the
complexion of the House of Represen-
tatives lat Democrats to 143 RepubIi-
oa,,l------;4L irrr.fs 5Oouo 'escttiiu. The in
ly elements of uncertainty in this en-
umeration are the following: In Flor
ida we claim two Republicans; in Louis
ana we concede two seats to the DEM
ocrats and claim one Republican; there
are two seats returned as Democratic
which will be contested by Republicans
and one Republican seated whose elect
ion will be contested by a Democrat.
There is a strong probability that when
the returns are complete the assumed
Democratic majority of four wiped out,
and the complexion of the next House
will depend on the result of the New
Hampshire election in March,
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1876-11-23

SEVERAL votes were cast in every town
in this county for Minor, for one OF the
Republican electors instead of Downs
Mr.. Miner was the regular nominee, but
being post master and consequently not
eligible to the position Of an elector, Mr..
Downs was put in his place, hence the
mistake. Some of the town boards can
vassed Miners votes for Downs. 1t is
quite likely that if all the votes cast for
Miner in the state We're hunted out,
enough would be found to defeat Downs
and elect the democratic elector.
The above extract from Democratic
sheet shows upon grounds the Demo
Gratis are willing to gain the Presidential
contest. For the benefit Of such we
will state that sufficient returns have
been received to prove conclusively that
enough cannot be counted out to elect
the Democratic elector. Mr.. Downs
will have majority of over 1900 over
any competitor in any event.

SOME OF THE RESULTS.

The State Journal figures up some of
the results of the recent campaign as fol-
lows:
The election demonstrated the vitality
and vigor of the Republican party.
About 43 Democratic members of Con-
gress give place to Republicans, while
Democrats have gained but about one
seventh of this number. This is most
remarkable change, and had it been
against the Republicans instead of in
their favor many funeral sermons would
have been preached over the party. In
addition to the gains in Congress eigh-
teen States in the North have gone Re-
publican.
These results have been achieved
against Tammany tactics and the lavish
use of money by the wealthiest man and
the most interchangeable worker who ever
ran for President. He has labored with
desperation never before known and
has been backed up by forces and in
| huences in most of the South that left
him at liberty to concentrate all his ire
mendous enginery on few doubtful
States and thereby inspire his adherents
throughout the Union.
Republicans voters are quick to take
offense at the mistakes in their own par
ty, and the real Or alleged faults of their
candidates, while the democrats stand
by their regular nominee. The expos
ures that ought to destroy candidates
popularity, seem only to infame par
tisan zeal in his behalf. It is d very nm
healthy otaJe Of offaIo w1INn q nOmlna-
ton is used as cloak to cover and hide
a mans faults, no matter how great they
may be.
The Republicans can congratulate
themselves that they have achieved such
substantial results in unseating Demo-
Gratis in the House and in holding con-
troll in nearly all the States where free
schools flourish, newspapers are plenty
and the people are law abiding.

The Chicago Post has the following

HE Chicago Post has the following
concerning Geo. B. Smith, the second
meanest copperhead in the State during
the war, and the thieving Attorney Gen
eral during Barstow's reign:
When We note the presence In New
Orleans of the famous Wisconsin Dem
ocrat, George B. Smith, as mathema-
tician to see that fair count is had. it
recalls the time when this politician
counted in Barstow as Governor of Wis
consin by fraudulent returns. Such
men are only as fat on the fire. With
them fair count means a count for De-
mocracy-a sort of Indian coup.

THE SITUATION.

Nothing definite in regard to the cleo
tion has yet transpired, further than
that South Carolina has certainly gone
Republican, and will cast her electoral
votes for Hayes and Wheeler. In IIoui-
siana the canvass IS slowly progressing
in the presence of five outside witnesses
from each party. Sufficient returns have
been received and examined to leave no
doubt, IN our mind, that the entire Re
publican electoral ticket has been elect
ed, throwing out such polls as even
Northern Democrats must concede to be
unfair. The parishes, OF counties, CAL
