STORMS AND FLOODS IN Eu1oPr

LONDON, March 1.-THE gale Of
Sunday last vas very destructive
around the entire coast and numer.
Gus casualties are reported. An I'M.
known brigantine was seen to founder
off Portland at midday and all hands
were lost. The sea was rising ire
menlouslv high and it was impossible
to send assistance. The telegraph
lines throughout the country are
still down. Communication is slow
and difficult. The weather continues
unsettled. In France telegraphic
communication was deranged to an
unprecedented extent. In Paris roofs,
cbimneys and trees were blown down
or carried away, and numerous casu-
alties reported, some fatal. The
damage in districts which were food.
ed on rivers is greatly increased in
consequence Of the gale, and numbers
Of the undermined houses along the

amendment of the Constitution 80
that the President and Vice Presi-
dent shall be elected by a direct vote
Of the people. That is sensible and
lust. The idea that Americans must
vote for the Chief Magistrate BY
proxy 10 . 'trelic of barbarism."

SPECULATION.

The Kentucky Central Railroad
had claim against tho govern:
ment tor s14s,553, which had been
twice examined by Quar-.
tefmaster General Meigs and reject.
ed by Secretary Stanton. Mr.. Geo.
H. Pendleton, Of Ohio, who was
and still is prominent Democratic
candidate for President, took charge
Of the claim, and, although General
Meigs in two additional reports took
decided grounds against ita being
paid, Mr.. Pendleton secured from
Secretary Belknap, May 18th, 1871,
an order for. its allowance and re.
ceived the money. Mr.. Pendleton
now testi6es that for his part in this
matter he received fifty per cent. Of
the amount obtained, besides @15, 900
for q clerk who had assisted! In
plain figures, he says he received $780,
600 and the railroad company $685.
600! Stockholders of the company
testify that they considered this $685..
900 'just 90 much money msade."
This claim was without doubt a
great swindle. It had been repeat
edly examined by General Meigs,
who opposed its allowance to the
last, and had been rejected by Secre-
tary Stanton. 1t was allowed by
Secretary Belknap the next year If.
ter he had gone into the Fort Sill
business win Marsh. What ':infu
ence" was Mr.. Pendleton expected to
use in order to have this claim allow
ed that he should get $4,000 out of
$148,0O0? What kind Of "inau-
ence" DID he use? Let the country
have the bottom facts in all these
jobs, no matter who is hurt.

THE MARKETS, ABROAD.

The Mark Lane E1prests weekly
review of the grnil ttrade says: "The
character Of tho weather during the
past week has undergone no i'm
provement in any part Of the country.
while at the end Of the week it has
been altogether rough. stormy and
unsettled. Vegetation under so
much rain and cold wind has. made
very little progress, and the wheat
plant which was everywhere reported
to look we'll will shortly stand in
need Of dryer days and warmer land.
Holders Of wheat evinced little dis
position to meet millers' views, and
this feeling somewhat contracted op-
erations, in spite of a portion Of the
merchants. i: 1t cannot be denied that
the present is . period Of great de.
preston, ~ compared with the. ex-.
pectations formed at the time Of the
last harvests. The prices realized
for produce must be very disappoint-
ing, both to merchants and farmers,
and want Of some sure foundations
whereon to base operations initiates
much against the probability of any
marked improvement. The absence
Of frost as the season advances tends
to keep the market quiet, and large
stock is still known to,be in the gran
cries, which prevents. spectators
from operating in, a sufficient degree
to influence the course Of trade, in
spite Of the temptation to do SO, now
that the range Of prices is 50 moder.
ate. having regard to- European and
American crops. In short, weather
influences will soon be supreme in de-
termining the future course Of prices,
and it would appear that even if the
present dullneaas continues no great
decline can be looked for, whilst with
continued adverse weather the. proba-:
bilities lie in the direction of nnateri-
al improvement"
