THE GREAT CONTEST.

The Canvassing Board of Louisiana
will mot complete Its work until next
Saturday. The count commenced IN
Florida last Tuesday, and in South Caro-
lima the Hayes and Wheeler electors have
been declared elected. That the vote of
Louisiana will be given to Hayes and
Wheeler is almost certain, and Florida is
very uncertain with the chances in favor
Of Hayes. But the great contest comes
counting these electoral votes by Con-
gress NJ 1t February, when parlizan hate
and strife is liable to rule the hour, in.
stead of love Of country and zeal for the
public welfare. The 18th Article OF
amendments 10 the Constitution says:
"And if the House OF Representatives
shall not choose President whenever the
right of choice shall devolve upon them,
before the fourth day of March next fol-
lowing, then the Vice President shall act
as President, IS in the case Of the death
or other unconstitutional disability of the
President" The result may be that Vice
President Ferry will be the next Presi.
dent of the United States.

Two Years ago Gallatin county cast a
total vote Of GJ6 for delegate in Congress.
At that election besides the common polit
ical interest attachtd d, the capital question
was up, and AN extraordinary effort made
to get out the voters. This year the
official vote is 547. or 100 less. but il
was taken by the mass of the people; that
the election came at time when the
threshing machines were all at work, and
each one of these took from Is to 90
voters to work them. 1t is safe therefore
to say that Gailatin county, with an tx
citing canyass, Can poll $50 votes.

Three large islands-Hattaha, Sundeep
and Dakin Shahboshe e-and numerous
smaller islands, including Backergunge'
Norkholly and Chittangong, were com
pletely submerged by storm wave On
October 31st, as was also the mainlanu
for five or six miles. These islands are
all ln or near the estuary of the r1ver
Megua. The larges, Dakhin Shahboshere
was 500 square miles in extent, and mao >
population of 1900 Hattoha and Sun
deep together had population OF about
lOO, COO Up to II o'clock on the night OF
the 3lst of October there was no signs OF
danger, but before midnight ware
swept over the country, to the depth 10
many places of 20 feet, surprising people
in their beds. The dense groves OF cocoa-
nut and palm trees around the villages
enabled many to save themselves ny
climbing among the branches. Some TOOK
refuge on the tops of their houses, o"l
the water burst the houses asunder and
swept them out to sea. Some were car
ried thus across the channel, ten miles, 10
Chittangong district, but vast majority
were never heard of again. The country
IS perfectly fiat, and almost every one per-
ished who failed to reach the trees. There
is scarcely household on these islands
and on the adjacent coast but lost many
members. The cattle are all drownded.
the boats swept away, and all means Of
communication with the other districts
destroyed. There is much distress among
the survivors, which tie government is
relieving. The Government Gazette says
Wherever the storm wave passed, it is be
lieved that not one-thiri of the population
survived. The isllnds have barely ore
fourth of their former inhabitants. The
stencil from PURIFYING bodies Is insult
ferable. and general outbreak OF cholera
is expected Cur correspondent says:
This fear is happily not yet realized, ex-
cept in Nordholly where the disease has
appeared. News from the famine threat
ened districts OF Madras is somewhat bet
ter. Rain has come in time to do som
good. In Bombay the prospects are still
gloomy, and actual famine in two or
three districts seem probable, and there
is great distress in four or five more.

About u week since two enthusiastic
Democrats and an anvil might have been
seen "wendinE their way" into town. The
battery came in '.Indian file,' the anvil
in the center suspended from handspike
and enjoying free ride. 1t is strongly
suspected if Tilden is not elected that
Captain Jack and Lieut.. Tar River ill
select very dark night to fall back
with their artillery.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC,

Gen T. L. Rosser, formerly chief en-
gineer of the Northern Pacific railroad
prior to the failure of Jay Cooke s. Co.,
has been requested by President Wright
TO be present. at a meeting of the officials
of the road. to be held at Philadelphis
some time during the coming month. II
the House of Representatives passes thu
bill extending the time for the completion
of the road, it is proposed to commence
work eastward from Blsmark on the Vel
lowstone division. and complete it, if
possible. for the distance of 205 miles IN
one season which would bring i! to Glen
dive creek. This division haG been sur
yeyed when the crash came in the affairs
ofthe company; bids for Its construction
had been received and opened. but no
awards made because the managers did
not see their way clear to pay for the
work. Things are different now; the
company is free from deot, its credit is
good, and the portion of the re ad that is
built is paying. President Wright and
his associates propose to 60 ahead with
the work, and complete it as soon rs pos
sible.
Gen. Rosser is now chief engineer Of
Minneapolis. MIMI, and We CLEAN these
facts from the Evening Tribune of thai
city. If Montana is to aid any railroad
either by subsidy direct, or loan of bonds.
it surely would be to the interest of the
whole people that the Northern Pacific
should be the one.

desire to again return thanks to our
friends who forwarded the vote of their
precincts for promptness and accuracy.
