The Wind Elsewhere.

The storm that prevailed in
Lincoln county last Wednesday
night was wide spread and must
have travelled with fearful veloci
ty. II struck Lavergne. Go miles
by on air line north of here, in
about q half hour from the time
that we were smitten. lit was the
same, it gathered force as it trav-
elled. Lavergne is town on the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st.
Louis r lilroad, fifteen miles from
Nashville. The wind seemed to
come from the Southwest and oc-
cupied a space of about three hun.
dred yards wide. The storm last
ed about fifteen minutes, but III
that short space of time, it play,d
sad havoc with Lavergne. Five
residences, two stores, several sta
bles and numerous outhouses were
completely ruined. Three ladies
were badly hurt; one little girl
was killed outright, and a little
boy had his thigh broken. The
very stone foundations of houses
were blown out and even the
earth seemed to tremble as If an
earthquake was approaching.
AT WOODBURY., Ky, the high
winds swept roofs and chimneys
several hundred yards from hous
es to which they belonged. Trees
were uprooted and fences we're
blown down for several miles from
Woodburn, and several houses
were blown completely down.
We heard of no bodily damage
done to any person. The great
est extent of damage done is not
yet exactly known.

At NOda, Coffee county, the
destruction was very great. B. F.

Our Washington Letter

Congress for payment on Mai
Contracts of 1869, go and 81
has been found insufficient. /
is thought 100000 will be re.
CURED. 1t has been decided
not to pay any of the claims un,
Ill all are filed, and this it strikes
me is an abuse of power. The
owners of $4,000 worth of
these claimsmust wait for Jones
Smith or Robinson to apply fol
his 81 900. Is there any good
reason--there is none in the
law-why the claims should moi
be taken up and paid as presen-
ted? This S375,0O0, which
ought 10 be paid out, remains
| in the Treasury and will help to
show a production" of the pub
lie debt. That $1,400000 "rc-
duction" in March was largely
made up Of items like this. The
Government would have acted
"A more honorable part, and
money would have been easier
throughout the country if the
new administration had been
content to report the usual ":e-
duction" and had paid its citi-
zens money decided by Courts,
Departments and Commissions
to be due them.
But man holding Office by
means believed by the great
mass of people to be dishonora-
bic must make a favorable show
ing Of results in order to gain
any degree of popular regard.
In the same way the great Dan
icl Danser estate in New York,
acquired by gambling, is being
distributed to charitable and
religious organizations. In the
Danser case some share of re-
morse and real charity may in
duce the distribution, but l sub
nit that 10 delude people into
a flattering belief in the reduc-
ton OF the debt, while they are
being robbed TO further the de-
ccit, is neither charitable nor
honest.
Democrats laugh at the idea
of any but Republican votes
being given to a Hayes man
for Speaker. Every Democrat
whose name has been connec-
ted with such a bargain has put
himself on record against it.
There is no doubt that Hayes
expected such support and was
surprised" when he saw he
could not secure it. He was
surprised, too, when he learned
that any Republicans were OPP
posed to his Southern policy.
Unless the secret means used
by the Administration shall Sc
cure a break in Packard's Leg
islature, it is now certain that
Packard will remain in the field
until driven out by force. The
silly device Of an irresponsible
Commission has had its day, and
has failed. 1t might have sue
cceded if the President had
given it the dignity and author
ity OF his personal presence, but
neither side has been material
ly moved by its public or secret
propositions. What remains of
Packard's forces are more uni
ted and determined than ever,
and the petty devices of the
President have unquestionably
raised up a strong support for.
them in the North.
A proposed considerable re-
duction i'll the regular army is
.he subject of favorable COM
Tent among well informed men
men and others-in
this city. The virtual ending
of the Indian war, by the. sur
render of the hostiles makes
this course practicable; and the
general disinclination to having
Federal troops used in State af- /
fairs is so nrnnnnnnnh ihn, s,.l.
