Hurricane in Mobile Bay.

The Mobile Tribune of the twelfth in
stant saye:
In conversation with Captain Curling of
the ship William A. Campbell, at an early
hour yesterday morning latter the paper
had gone to press) the reporter learned that
q hurricane struck the shipping at anchor
in the lower bay about four O'Clock Monday
morning. The Campbell had more Of her
cable payed out and thus she safely breasted
the gale.
The tugboat Allison, which had gone
down with the first cotton for the Aus
tralian, snapped her hawsers. when she was
carried into the trough of the sea, and be-
came unmanageable. A large quantity of
cotton, some 1SS bales, went overheard.
and drifted to the sea. When the violence
of the gale abated it was found that the
Allison had two feet of water in her hold.
Several ships besides the Campbell
dragged their anchors, and all had rough
time.
The Elpninstone, at anchor OFF Navy
Cove, dritted past Fort Morgan.
The gale was sudden and violent, but
luckily of short duration, otherwise there
might have been serious damage to the
fleet below.

Appointments.

Governor Kellogg yesterday sent to the
Senate the nomination of Colonel Frank
Powers as tax collestor of the parish of
East Felicians, and the nomination was
promptly confirmed. Colonel Powers is an
old resident of that section, and made a
famous name during the war as dashing
cavalry leader. HIS appointment will no
doubt prove satisfactory to all classes of
people in his parish, where he possesses
great influence.

Yankee Locke produced for his benefit
last night at the Academy of Music the
great temperance drama called, "Ten Nights
in Bar-room." This piece has for years
been played in the North and West, but is
new to this public. 1t was dramatized from
T. S. Arthur story by Mr.. w. w. Pratt, a
singular genius, who was by turns actor,
author, painter, musician and preacher. In
1858 he left the stage for the pulpit, and
was heralded as the reformed actor. Ser
mons were too slow for him, and he soon
returned to his first love, and then wrote
this play for Yankee Locke. There
is in it some crude work, repettions
of scenes, and some preaching, but
it still is an effective stage piece,
holding steadily to the purpose Of tell
ing temperance story. Every charac-
ter in the piece shows evils and suffering re-
suitiDg from inssmperance. There is the
tavern keeper who has lett his mill to- be-
come rumseller, and 10 finally mu rdered
by his SOD; there is the best young man of
the village brought to gambling and ruin;
there is the broken drunkard, VIII ose prop

Whoever scans these figures can see
that reduction OF expenditures has been
going on steadily since the war closed,
The reduction has been such that If the
expenditures directly caused by the rebel
lion be taken out of the total expenditure
for 1875. the balance will be less accord
ing to population than the average in the
three last years in which the democrats
had control OF the government. The ex-
penditure in 1875 directly traceable to the
rebellion was SIG 100000 Taking this
from the total expenditure Tor the year as
given above. and the balance left for the
ordinary expenditures of the government
as before the war is S98, 900, 900 in cur

FOR GOVERNOR,
SELDEN CON NoR
TilaIen's and Hendricks Letters OF
AccpntanCP,


The long delayed letters of Iildcn and
Hendricks have al last appeared. That
of 1ilden apparently endeavors by its
length 10 compensate for the long time 1t
has been deferred. And yet upon reading
this verbose document, we cannot see why
it might not have been prepared as well
in one day as in fifty. II is wordy but not

ton upon the currency, containing no new
ideas, and this cloud of words is expected
TO stand In the place of the clear, plain,
pi,hy declarations that properly belong to
the letter Of acceptance of candidate for
the Presidency.
Mr.. Tilden starts of course with the idea
of the necessity of reform. The govern
ment he says has been mismanaged. Its
expenditures are large. taxes heavy, and
particularly are the Southern States suffer-
ing under mal-administration Now we
knew before Mr. Tilden's letter appeared.
that taxes are heavy. and we knew farther

been so heavily taxed since 1861. 1t was
because of the democratic rebellion, fact
which Mr.. Tilden is careful not to mention
in his letter. The party OF which he is
the candidate, is responsible for all this
taxation and expenditure, and he knows
it. 1t was the democratic rebellion which

so ever increasing through the war, until
in 1865 they reached the enormous amount
of 81, ,297 $50. 22441. What marvellous
amount of audacity and hypocrisy must
the democratic leaders have to berate the
republican party for the large expendi
lures OF the government since they OBJ
tanned the control Every dollar of in
crease in expenditures beyond what the
growth of the country has legitimately
4 ,nanded since 1861. is due to the dem
Ocratic rebellion, the amnestied leaders IN
which now control the House, and assail
the government because of the very ex-
penses which they caused.
But passing from the question of rcspon-
sibility for heavy taxation, we find that
Mr.. Tilden recommends decrease Of ex-
pendi,ures, to be brought about by eco
nomical measures in the administration OF
the government, and particularly by re-
ductiCn of the rate of interest on the pub

pose that the republicans had never at
tempted anything of the kind which he
recommends, when in fact they have re-
duced the expenditures from Sl,297 ,555,-
224.41 in 1865, down to S274 ,G23, 1872 81 in

As to the currency question, liiden :
letter spins out theory IN regard to re-

but destroys the force of whatever he may
have said in regard to resumption by ad-
yocating the repeal of the act for resum-

his time that great point towards resump-

compelled return to sound currency. All
tho fine words of Tiden about resumption
sink to nausht before his covering to the
demand for the repeal of the resumption
act. He has ANONYMOUSLY surrendered to
the soft money demand from the West.
Ucndrcks has triumphed. The tail ofthe
ticket controls the head. Until his noml-
nation was secured Tilden talked for hard
money. but now that he is nominated he
is bu, clav in the hands OF Hendricks.
What Mr.. Iilden says in regard to the
South is in unison with the party that cries
"b!oody shirt whenever negro massacre
occurs. He would protcc: the eoiored
people in their rights by turning them
over to the Buffers and other assassins OF
colored men, that they might teach the
latter tc keep their place" rs in the
Hamburg lesson. His letter will encoul-

which alone can bring peace and prosper

Governor Tilden is in favor of civil SER
vice reform, if his letter expresses his
opinions. But knowing that the demo-
cratic House, when it came into power,
made clean sweep Of the republican OF
lieers aud employees. including wounded
Union soldiers, and filed their places
largely with rebels, and this without one
word of remonstfance from Mr.. Tilden,
we feel that he is playing the hypocrite
upon this as upon the money question
Il is disgusting to know that man who
learned his politics in the Tammany
school. and associated with such men in
the management of the democratic party
as William Nj. Tweed, should assume to
talk about ''political mercenaries." Mr.
Tilden is known by the company he has
kept politically. and by that he must be
Judged as to his sincerity as Reformer.

say at present that it amounts to but
little except as it witnesses to the fact OF
Tilden's surrender on the money question,
