account of his connection with the Ken

amount recovered through his agency,
and also received $4,000 additional, to

hsd been a clerk in the company's ser
vice and who assisted in the preparation
Of the claim. He further testified, with
emphasis, that he never paid one dollar
to any person connected with the Gov
erAment, or to any member Of Belknap's
family, or to any one else except Ran
som.
During the examination Pendleton
said that neither Mrs. Marsh nor Mrs.
Bowers travelled with him and his family
in Europe, nor did he meet Mr.. Clymer
while travelling in Europe; and the pub

ideut, and Martel aud Duclere, Of the
Left, and General pAdmirault and Ker-
drel, Of the Right, Vice Presidents.

to the Vice Presidency; he, however,
only obtained l29 votes, while Kerdrel,
the lowest successful candidate, obtained

day last was very violent and destructive
around the entire coast. Numerous
shipping casualties are reported. An
unknown brigantine wal seen TO founder
of Portland at midday; all hands were
lost. The sea was running tremendous
ly high and it was impossible to send
assistance. The telegraphs throughout
the country are still deranged and com
m~unication is slow aud difficult. The
weather continues unsettled. In France
telegraphic communication was de-
ranged to an unprecedented extent. IL
Paris roofs, chimneys and trees we're
blown down or carried away. Numerou,
casualties are reported; some Of then
fatal. The damage in The districts

When explosions are predicted they
do not always come to pass on time.
The Belknap explosion was not pre-
dicted, hence its greater effect. The
public has been expecting that light
ming would strike some other person or
department where the investigating CON-
mittees are at work, but no startling de-
velOpments have yet occurred. One
thing, however, is manifest, and will be
made clearer: the departments about
Washington have been managed very
loosely, and millions Of dollars are dis
bursed every year under general heads,
Of which no detailed report is ever made.
The Republican papers are free to con-
feSs, through their Washington specials
at least, that great u%neasiness has ex'
listed iu their party, and that the cues
ton is often asked, Who nextf Mr..
Whiahorne, of the Naval Committee,
having been charged with hardness. has
given orders to push things, regard
less Of parties or persona, aud ordered
the members Of the committee if they
can find anything against Mr.. Randall
or himself to subpoena the witnesses at
once. So far as charges or rumors at.
fecting Democrats are concerned, they
seem to be 8 weak invention Of the other
side to divert public attention from the
corruption on hand, or at least create an
impression that the Democrats are no
better than the Republicans The ru.
mors against Mr.. Randall ara that he
has combined with Republican poll
ticians to secure appointments in the
navy yard Of men to vote for himself
for Congress, and that in return he has
done the Republicans many fayors and
is trying to repress investigations. This
of course would involve Secretary Robe
son or some influential politician CD
that side. The story, however, is un.
reasonable and hardly credited eyen by
the Republican papers. Commodore
W~hitthorne's committee is working day
and night and has already discovered
the existence Of great extravaganza and
corrupt practices in the Navy Depart
ment. 1t remains to be soen where the
responsibilitv lies.

Republicans have carried the State ct
every election except two since 1856.
and OF course claim it this year. Last

Republicans representing the State in
the United States Senate. The Rspub.

BelkuAp business on the sturdy yeo-
manry..of New Hampshire, and are alive
to the tremendous moral effect on the
whole country, in view Of the Presiden-
tial election, il the Democrats should
carry the State. They are therefore put
ting forth their utmost strength and
using every available resource to carry
the Granite State. Great meetings have
been held at the principal cities and
towns. On the Republican side these
meetings have been addressed by Gov
srnor NOyes, Of Ohio, Senator 0Glesby,
Of Illinois, and other able men, while the
Democrats have had Hon. Clarkson N.
Potter, Governor Walker, Hon. William
Springer, OF Illinois, and others Of local
aud national celebrity to speak for them.
The State is thoroughly stirred up. The
following record of the vote for the past
Eve years shows that the present cam
pAign is a close, hand-to.hand fight:
