high wind may be expected to-day IN this Guy anu
vicinity II there is sr0Yfal 1t will at first be wet sno"
The storm is not likely to be of long continuance anu
there is probability of clearing sky ON sunday sue
ceeded by very cold weather !,
These predictions for both Saturday anu
Sunday were fulfilled to the letter. Never
tleless. in its suddenness and binding
fury. tho tempest of Saturday morning must
have exceeded the anticipatiOns OF even the
weather-wisc. Fifteen minutes before q. H..
Saturday, snow and rain began falling TO-
gether, lightly enough in the first three OF
four minutes. But at five minutes before a
bowling blast came from the West, intensely
cold, and carrying q volume OF snow
and rain that seemed to fill the air
with n solid mass. At the Fulton
Ferry, Brooklyn side, the appearance was as II
a vast body of white smoke or steam were
rushing in from the river, and several OF the
ferry-hOuse lights were suddenly extlngulshed.
People who saw it could scarcely realize that
il was only storm. There was just enough
rain with it to fasten the snow wherever 1t
fell notwithstanding the violence of the wind;
and almost instantly every exposed surface was
sheeted in white The downfall was OF very
brief duration, but the cold wind increased IN
intensity, and continued during the day and
evening.
In the very full description elsewhere given
of the wreck and damage inflicted by the gale,
it will be seen that its severity far exceeded
the average of such visitations Heavily an
chorcd ships were torn from their moorings,
and even vessels lying alongside our docks
were injured. On the coast there has been
great damage to shipping, since no amount of
precaution could have insured safety Ill the
teeth of such gale Let us be thankful that
no fire broke out in this city during the high
wind; by flames so famed, whole BLOCKS OK
buildings might have been enwrapped as III
blast furnace.

90 III RETS OEED

There is CONSERVATION in the sensitive cir
cles of speculation. Mr.. John Morrsscy, the
autocratic stakeholder Of gamblers gay and
glum, has made up his emnently judicial
mind to return TO betterB in his pOOl-roOm the
money wagered on the election of President.
However satisfactory this arrangement may be
to those who have lost on Gov. Tilden, it will
scarcely 'enrapture those who have won
on Gov. Hayes. We must ut once admit
ourselves incompetent to discuss the caSuis-
try of the question, and our sympathy
with the sufferers by Mr.. Chief-Justce
MOrrisscy's dlctum is about equal to our
knowledge of what they call their rights"
We have always believed that better ways of
investing money might be found than by put
ting it into the most morally pellucid pools. 1t
is characteristic of all gambling that the risk
of loss is greater than the chance of gain. If
it were otherwise, there would he no
bells, no pools, no lotteries, no gift en-
terpIises nor would the wheel of fortune
whrl for the benefit of libraries, bridges,
churches, any more than for the enrichment
of managers and their locust swarm of local
agents. Particularly must it be ungrateful to
every high minded and patriotic citi-
zen to have the election of Pres
ident made an occasion of greed
OF a specially dsreputabe sort. There
fore, if it should turn out that the
dabblcrs in MIR. Morrissey's pools have merely
befouled their fingers without putting penny
into their purses, besides losing a good deal of
interest, we may say what we think OF Mr..
MOrrissey's conduct without shedding any tears
for his victims. We suppose that there is some
law which oil betters are supposed to recognize
and to be governed by; and according to that
law we are inclined to believe that those who
put up their money Tor otheE peoples money!
on the Republican candidate have fairly won
their bets At least the holder of the stakes
is in too great hurry to declare call bets
"off." His decision simply amounts to de-
claration that nobody has been elected to the
Presidency; and pretty condition we shall
be in if it be 80. The fact is that there has been
an election, as the Hon. Mr.. Morrissey will find

out if nc will but wait patiently for q compile
ten of the processes prescribed by law. Pos
sibly this is precisely what he does not pro-
nose To do. The end might not be of cheer
ing character.
OF course, if Mr.. MOrrissey has resolved
unon making all things even in this half sat
isfoctoTy way, he has also determined to re-
tire from the gambling business in general
and this is the most encouraging feature or
the whole affair. He can hardly intend to go
on with pool enterprises, after such
demonstration Of their certain uncertainty,
for nobody will have anything to do with him,
or them. Moreover, they will not be unrca-
sonably suspicious who venture to doubt even
the gambling fairness of all Mr.. MoIrissey's
tables, boxes, rOulettes, and of his many
games played therein and thereon. He has
need to have made all the money which he is
rumOred to have made by his election opera
tons, if he really means to bring
them to this exasperating conclusion.
Persistent and beadlong gamesters are
usually great fools, at least upon
that side of their characters, but we doubt if
they would be fools enough to put money here
after into Mr.. Morrissey's pools, especially if
he now charges three per cent, as 1t Is SAID that
he will on all sums returned, after keeping
them on interest for his own benefit for
month OF so. Sporting people have rather a
hard time of it. They maintain a perpetual
chatter about fairness, and the "rigOr OF the
"game," whether the game be with cards or
cues or fists or horses; and yet they are al
WAYS shutting the air for faint OF fraud. MI.
Morrissey has heretofore passed for man not
only sans peur lin the ring) but sans reprochc

CHARACTERISTICS or THE GALE.

To careful observer of the weather. its
sudden change on saturday could not have
been wholly unforeseen. The record OF
the thermometer for some days pre-
yious had fingered near freezing point; on
Friday night it was slowly rising. At p. m.
ON Friday the barometer, already indicating
low point of pressure for the season, began
TO show further decline. The fall
gained increased rapidity during the night,
the mercury sinking, between and 8
u. M, tenth of an inch; between
0 and IL, another tenth between IL and
II. another from midnight to Saturday a.
NJ. two-tenths: total fall OF six -tenths of an
inch in fifteen hours. This was a sharper and
greater decline than that which preceded the
cyclone of September. During most of Friday
the sky was clouded and at times threatening.
With these three facts-a rising thermometer,
n falling barometer, and lowering sky-tle
near approach of high wind and rain or snow
could not fail to be recognized in advance.
The Government predicted colder northerly to
westerly winds and areas OF snow, followed
by clearing weather. The TRIBUNE, rs the
result of its local observations, said at mid
night, Friday nights
These conditions portend storm. Rain or snow and

THE NEWS THIS MORNING.

FoREIGN.-In Mexico, President Lerdo and MS
Cabinet have been made prisoners by Gen. Diazs
forces Gen. EscObedo has been shot. - A fresh
war tax has been levied in Turkey. 60 Roumanla
has resolved not to oppose the entry OF the Russian
army. 80 The Marquis of Salisbury has had an
interview with the Sultan. - President Mac
Mahon and the Republicans continue at variance
regarding the Ministry.
DoMESTTC-There has been another disturbance
IN Abbeyile County s. c.; the rifle clubs came OUT
and 10 colored prisoners were shot. - Senator
Gordon replies to-day to Gov. Chamberlains dis
patches TO The TRIBUNE. - Doubt is beginning
10 be felt at Washington of the practicabillty and
propriety of a constitutional amendment changing
the mode of counting the electoral vote.
CITY AND SUBURBAN.-Brooklyn buried 100 I'M
recognized or frendess victims of the disaster III
common grave at Greenwood, and many private fu-
nerals were held. The public regret and sympathy
were expressed in three large meetings yesterday.

keep their books open. The law seems 10
contemplate only the consideration OF acts
committed during that time. On the Otller
hand, it is conclusively shown that the ke-
tuning Board is not allowed the discretion OF
saving whether or not the vote shall be
thrown ont in district where violence and
intimidation are proved to lave existed. but
the law expressly provides that it shall be
thrown out.
The execution of Gen. EscObedo adds
another to the dark crimes which have DIS
oraced the Mexican Republic. His services
under Juarez when he overthrow the Empire
at Oueretaro and made Macmillan prisoner,
entitled him to greater consideration IRON
Gen. Daz, then his companion in arms. But
the latter evidently feared that his il-gOt power
would be insecure while so resOlute foe as
Escobedo lived. The capture of President
Lerdo and the execution OF his minis
ter have not, however, rendered Ueh'
Daz's authority secure. Ex-Chief-Justlce lyle
sias. who is the legal President in case Mi.
Icrdo has resigned, is sustained in the North,
where his adherents hold Monterey and Saltilo.
Although he lacks the military skill OF Die
tator Diaz he may prove an obstinate enemy.
Should this turmoil continue, the prospect OF
our collecting the judgment of nearly S4,oOO,-
600 which we hold against Mexico will be
exceedingly slight
If there were no other inducement for France
to remain neutral in regard to the Eastern
crisis, the policy would be forced upon her
now. She has her own troubles The Marshall
President and the Legislative Assembly are IN
direct antagOnsm on the question Of State APP
preparations for religious purposes. The mem
bers of the Ministry have rendered their reslg-
nation, which their Chief is not inclined to ac-
ccpt Yet his opposition to the will OF ma
iOrity of the Assembly is even more distinctly
n resistance to the will of larger majority OF
the people of France. If he were to dissolve
the Assembly, the new election would speedily
make the latter fact apparent. 1t Is therefore
very unlikely that the Government will force
a crisis. The retention of the Ministry, with
the single exception of jules Simon Ill place
of NJ. de Marc6re minister of the lnterlor)
will hardly be acceptable to the majority OF
the Assembly, which desires to see NJ. Dulaure
also replaced. But the Marshal knows how TO
surrender when he is surrounded: the question
is, simply, how he shall do 1t III the present
case with the least sacrifice of dignity and al-
thOTity,
