FREsHET AND MOVEMENT OF ICE IN THE OHIO
GREAT DESTRUCTION OF BOATS.

| FREsHET AND MOVEMENT OF ICE IN THE OHIO
GREAT DESTRUCTION OF BOATS
/ CINCINNATI, Jan. 1.-THE movement of
the ice In the Ohio river has been almost
general frcm Pittsburg to Cairo, entailing
heavy losses, chiefly upon owners of coal
boats ard barges. Over two hundred coal
barges passed North Bend in the ice to-day.
Near Steuoenvllle ten barges were swept
away to-day and four at Parkersburgh.
The Ice In the Kanawha broke up yester-
DAY carrying away wharf boat and several
barges. AT bIennerhassetts Island, q tow
boat with eight barges and a steamer were
carried of BY ice. Eight barges from the
kentucky river passed Madison this after-
noon At Jacksonville the river rose five
ieet IN two hours and the ice swept down
at the rate OF ten miles an hour, sweeping
away a large quantity of valuable timber
from ship yards, sinking several barges of
coal, and demollshing portion of the ferry
boat.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Loss CT PRoPEIrF.
NEW YORK, Jan. l5.-A Cincinnati spe-
eial states that the damage by the ice aboya
tfere Is greater than at that city. Some tif-
teen or twenty men were swept away ON
oarges and wrecked steamboats,, but oply
one was lost. A boat with family wa.
swept down the river but they were all
saved some miles below. The damage hy ice
at Cincinnati. is said 10 be half a million.
and reports are current of the loss of ten or
twelve lives. Fully IS loaded coal barges

Many mouths must clapse before they arc
replaced. Lying in the Monongahela, from
ITS mouth to Greensboro, were no less than
10 steam and tow boats. with an aggregate
value OF probably upward Of one million

Macmillan's London Magazine for Jan
uary has an article on our disputed PresI-
dency BY an unnamed writer, and MIR.
Smalley writes of it Whoever the author
be, he is a man who studies politics IN
sounder way and with larger view than Is
common, and who believes that the struggle
to put Mr. Tilden in power is only the con-
tinuation of the war policy" which the
South commenced when the coniedcracy
went to pieces, and has never abandoned.
The proposition of Proctor Knots COM
mittee "that in the counting of the electoral
votes no votes shall be counted against the
Judgment and determination OF the House OF
Representatives" amounts to declaration
that it is in the power of the House, II 1t
sees fit, to throw ont votes enough at any
time to destroy an election OF President by
the people, and to substitute an election by
itself, This will hardly go down.
General Banks says tie power and right
votes is Just as clear us the right OF the
Speaker to decide questions of order.
Senator Booth holds, with Prof. Seelye of
the House, that in case the two houses fail
to agree and no arrangement is made. the
Vice President must state the result OF the
vote in his hand.
Hon. George Nichols, the bearer of our
Electoral vote to Washington, has expressed
himself, since his return, as thoroughly con-
WINGED that Messrs. Hayes and Wheeler
would be peaceably declared elected on the
18th OF February next. As he had access
to the very highest sources of information
upon the subject. his opinion is as good as
anybody's.
1t is said that Gen. Longstreet has finally
succumbed to the persecution and ostracism
which his Identification with the Republican
party has brought upon him, and has come
out for Nichols for Governor, but is still
cold on Tilden.
The Tribune calls the attention of Demo-
Gratis to the fact that nobody could be Presi
dent of the United States, even to the extent
of forming cabinet or appointing post
master. who was not recognized by the Sem
ate as President, and says that unless GER
tain Senators choose to oppose the counting
of the votes officially returned in Louisiana
or Florida, Governor Hayes will become
President as surely as the sun rises on the
4th of March.
The Massachusetts, Legislature votes for
United States Senator, tomorrow. The
contest will be between Senator Boutwell,
and Hon. George F. Hoar, with Gov. Rice
as probable compromise candidate, if
neither of the leading candidates secures
majority.
Hewitt, Washington dispatches say, de
clines to call grand national Democratic
convention at Washington, February 14th,
to overawe the Senate. lie is reported as
saying that it would be little better than
treason to call thousands of Democrats to
Washington under such circumstances.
Other members of the Democratic National
Committee are very angry with Hewitt for
saying this, and declare they will have the
convention anyhow.

tLat the concurrent vote of both Houses shall

IT is reported from Washington that the
House committee on privileges have finished
their report on counting the votes. Their
conclusions are first, that tho power to
count the Electoral vote is not conferred by
the Constitution upon the President of the
Senate; second, that this power is conferred
by the Constitution upon the Senate and
House Of Representatives third, that in the
execution Of the power to count the Elec:o-
raj vote. the House OF Representatives is at
least coordinate and equal with the Senate {;
and, fourth, that in counting the Electoral
votes no vote can be counted against the
judgment and without the assent of tho
House. The report is regarded as an at
tempt to forestall the action of the Joint
committee on the Electoral question, and
it finds no favor with the conservative Deu-
ocrats Of the Senate. Both Thurman and
Bayard are on record as opposed to the doc
trines agreed to by this committee.

A WASHINGTON special says: " The
House Democrats, uneasy over the Oregon
Investigations of. Morton's committee, have
decided to call before the Knott committee
the members of the Republican National
Committee and ascertain how they conduct

persisted in, Morton will retaliate and sum-
mon the Democratic Committee, and even

SOCIETY AND ADJUSTMENTS

Despite the snow, and despite the hard
times. the fashionable end Of New York mas
outdono itself this Winter. Balls and re-
ceptions have been more common than ever
before, and more money than EVER has
been spent upon dress and adjournment of
house and person. The fact is there are a
few hundred families who are so rich that
cutting Oft half their incomes makes no dli-
ference whatever, and they feel sort of
pride in being able to throw away money
when every body else is short OF it. What
