A Great Rain storm.

The HERALD predictions of the past seven
days regarding the disturbances in the
Southwest and the Northwest are being full
filed, at least to the satisfaction Of meteor
ologists. The storm centre which we an
nounced on the 25th ult. as approaching from
Northern Mexico and the area of low press
ure that moved on Monday and Tuesday
over Montana and Wyoming have united in
one great depression which extends west
ward of the Allegheny Mountains and from
Dakota to the Gulf. The rainfall at
tending this disturbance is remarkably
heavy, and during the sixteen hours
ending 4:47 p NJ, Washington time, yester-
day, amounted at New Orleans to 2.97
inches; Shreveport, 1.5O; vicksburg, 1.1S;
Nashville, O.4O; Cairo, 0.58. The rainfall
decreases northward to Duluth, and the
area of precipitation extends over one and
half millions of square miles. Heavy
freshets may, therefore, be looked for
during the next few days in the Missouri,
Mississippi, Ohio and Red rivers and their
several tributaries When the storm enters
the Ohio Valley region its area will contract,
ana nlHu WluuS Will prcNMi o'ei euo AohSo
and the Northwest, with increasing south
easterly winds on the Atlanticc oast. Small
vessels engaged in the Eastern and South
ern trade will experience heavy weather
probably after tomorrow. The pressure is
highest on the Middle Atlantic coast and in
Manitoba, and is still low of the coast of
Nova Scotia. AS is probable from present
indications the advancing depression will
unite with that in the Northeast and develop
dangerous storm in the North Atlantic.
The temperature has risen at all points ex-
cept in Manitoba and Northern Dakota,
where snow fell yesterday morning
Morning fog prevails on the Middle and
South Atlantic and Gulf coasts, and may be
expected at New York during the next few
mornings. The weather at this city to-day
will be warmer and cloudy, followed by
threatening of rain.

One or Two Suggestions tn the
Democrats.


We wish to make suggestion or two to
our democratic friends about the great fuss
which is about over, our intention being to
help them back to that good nature with
which American politicians ought to meet q
reverse.
In the first place, as to the conduct OF the
commission. Mr.. Hewitt chose, on two
days this week, to make a pretty savage
attack on Mr.. Hoar, and if he had kept his
temper he might havo made good his point;
but as it was he came to grief Mr.. Hoar
helped to frame and supported in
the House Committee n bill which
did give to the commission the
papers and hear evidence. This bill was
not adopted. and the Electoral bill which
did become law clearly left the question of
the powers of the commission to hear evil
dence to the decision OF that body. There
is no doubt in the world about This hence
no democrat has right to complain that
the commission did decide it. That was,
by the admission OF most OF the democratic
authors of the bill, one of the questions
which were left to it to decide. But that
Mr.. Hoar, a careful lawyer, having in the
committee openly taken the view that the
commission had right to hear evidence,
should afterward, as II member Of the COM
mission, turn short about and vote against
hearing evidence, that is matter not credit
able to Mr.. Hoar. and for which he deserves
to be scored. But it does not affect the
honor Of the commission or the validity OF
it's acts only the credit of Mr.. Hoar.
But we come to q more important matter.
Some of our democratic friends assert that
Mr.. Hayes comes into Office with a clouded
title. If they will reflect moment they will
see that his title, on the contrary, is abso-
lutely perfect. We will grant all they say
about the Louisiana and Florida frauds;
but they are away from the point. The two
houses, in accordance with custom as old
as the government, agreed upon "a method
of examining and counting the votes for Vice
President" They appointed commission,
to whom were referred certain disputed
questions, the houses receiving it's report
and voting on it. Mr.. Hayes is President in
accordance with this action OF the TWO
houses He holds his title from them in
perfectly constitutional and legal manner,
and, as we said, this title is perfect.
That there were frauds in Louisiana and
Florida and in South Carolina and that the
votes of those States were carried for the
republicans by military interference or by
frauds in returning boards and in other
irregular ways. is the belief Of a very great
majority Of American voters. For those
wrongs the democratic party can ask that the
country shall punish the republicans at the
next election, which takes place in Novem-
Der of 1878, and we certainly hope that the
scurvy and INSCRIPTIONS politicians who
committed or condoned or whitewashed or
brazenly defended those frauds will be made
to feel the displeasure of all decent voters of
both parties But let us have no nonsense
meantime about Mr.. Hayes title to his Office,
else perhaps the voters next year will forget
the republican rascalities in their disgust
for democratic follies.

Investigating Charities.

Recent developments must have satisfied
every one that tho management of all local
charities which receive assistance from the
public purse should be thoroughly investi-
gated and subjected hereafter to periodical
scrutiny. The greatest evil of any dishonest
management of these charities is the injury
it inficts on the poor 1t diverts from them
money intended for their relief and it
discourages liberality on the part Of the
people. If there is any one offence
meaner and more despicable than oil others
it is that of putting on the mask Of philan-
thropy for the purpose OF robbing the poor
The committee of the State Board of Chari-
ties is doing good work in probing the
affairs OF the Juvenile Guardian Society to
the bottom and in commencing an
investigation of the management of the
81. Johns Guild. The Master Of the Guild
should court such an inquiry If its business
has been honestly conducted. He will Of
course admit the authority Of the State

Another RuHian Conc.

Jack Mccall, the murderer Of "Wild Bill"
left the world yesterday at Yankton, Neb.,
in manner quite unusual to the bor-
der rutfian, but none the less effectual
on that account It is not often that a man
of his style kills another without establishing
some claim for gratitude upon respectable
society; but McCall's victim was man who,
in spite of many faults, had done much
good and needed service to society and his
country, while the murderer never served
either, except when he shuffled of his own
mortal coil. The best that can be said of
him is that, although he lived like
a ruffian, he died like man. Try
ing to maintain his stolidity, he never
theless spent his last moments with the cru
cifx clasped tightly in his hands as he en-
gagged in silent prayer, and MS the drop fell
there escaped from his lips the holy name
which his associates had never before heard
him utter with due respect. The world is
better of by having lost him. Men OF his
type are worse than useless, and the most
tender humanitarians despair Of even
changing their natures. His fate may ter
rify into comparative quiet such creatures
of his kind as have hitherto trusted that
they were to be law unto themselves
and thus Jack Mccall in dying may have
served the world to which while living he
was an unqualified curse.

ANOTHER BRUTE IN BUTTONS Police
Justice Kilbreth did good thing yesterday
morning when, after hearing the complaint
of burly police officer who charged a
prisoner with assault, he turned to the
bruised and battered creature at the bar
Just recovering from debaucl and asked
him to tell his own version Of the story.
That was soon done. The poor fellow re-
membered being drunk and coming in con-
tact with the officer did not remember
irving to strike him, but his next recolec-
ton was that of becoming sensible that
somebody was bathing two deep gashes on
his head made by policeman's club, and
that his body was covered with bruises.
The Justice adjourned the examination until
the afternoon, by which time witnesses came
forward who testified that the assault of the
police officer on the prisoner was unjusti-
fable, brutal and bloodthirsty. SO the
prisoner was released, the brute in buttons
took his place and was held in five hundred
dollars bail. Now, let his trial be as swift as
that of Joe Coburn.

Practical city Reform.

Mr.. John Morrissey is supplied with an
amount of common sense which leads him by
direct and short paths to practical reforms.
On Wednesday last he introduced bill in
the Senate to discontinue the Department
OF Docks and 20 transfer all the dock busi-
ness to the Department of Public Works,
under q bureau headed by an engineer of
docks. This simple law would at once
get rid Of an expensive and unnecessary
department.. which has already cost the
people five million dollars for one million
dollars Of actual work, would do away with
the separate law by which the management
of the docks is carried on without any re-
sponsibility to the Board of Apportionment,
and, by bringing the docks within the pro-
visions Of the city charter, would compel
the work upon them to be done
6y contract. We need scarcely say
that Mr. Morrissey's bill receives our
approval and will be warmly indorsed by
the taxpayers of the city and by all the
business community. If we get rid of the
needless cost of maintaining the Dock De-
partment with its salary list of two hundred
costly method OF doing work. we shall have
just so much more money to expend in i'm
proving the docks and piers and extending
the much needed accommodation to the
commerce of the port.
1t is not impossible that the animus Of
Mr.. Morrissey's resolution may infect both
houses and be general in its effects. The
latest advices from Albany announce the
appointment, at a joint session Of the two
committees on cities, Of o subcommittee.
which is to embody in a single bill
the most important features Of al! bills
on the government Of New York city,
consider the propriety of reducing each Of
the departments to one head, provide other
wise for retrenchment and report on Thurs
day next. The appointment and instruc-
tions of this subcommittee are the most
cheering indications that tax-ridden New
York has beheld at Albany for years.
