Description of the Storm.

HARTFORD, Aug. 1o.--A description Of the
approach of the tornado, as told by different
persons, Is as follows: The storm, apparently
In the mountains in the north, was drawn to-
ward another which came out of the south
west, and both came together directly over
the pond of the Wallingford Community.
When 1t struck the water there was the ap-
pearance OF an immense waterspout 400 feet
high. From this point the tornado took
definite shape, and the direction Of its track
was on an even line about 500 yards wide and
extending two miles, The force OF the wind
was spent la ten minutes. Houses were un-
rooted In other parts of the village, out Of the
direct path of the tornado, but no one was in
jured.
Every train brings crowds of sightseers
from all parts of the State. No further dam
ages are reported from places adjacent,
beyond slight damage at Metiden. -

Ex-G0v. Seymour ON the Financial seues-
T1nm.

NEW YORK.. Aug. 10.-In conversation with
q New York reporter in u Utica yesterday Gov
Seymour said "The West deals directly with
the markets Of the world. It sells more than
it buys, and to make the most money 1t needs
currency which Is the standard of value
used by the commercial world Moreover the
West gains Immense advantages by cheap
transportation and he points out that since
the paper currency has risen in value to near
the standard Of gold The grain and provision
products have been carried to the seaboard at
less than one-third the cost which had to be
paid when the currency was inflated.
The West, he says, has not only. gained
been able with currency nearly at par with
gold to sell vast amounts Of Its prodnct at q
profit In the East and in Europe, which could
not have gone to either market under initiation
charges. The West never sold SO much nor
bought what~it needed SO cheaply as In the
later. years, when gold and greenbacks are of
nearly equal value.
He proceeds to show that the Western farm
with the grain and produce Of Europe only If
they hold to sound currency, and that the
whole West commands and controls the East
ern and European markets, and Is gaining in
wealth faster than ever it did before. A new
initiation would cause 1t to lose all its present
advantages.
Mr.. Seymour speaks as q Democrat, and
says 1t Is good thing to give all the dis
Safls1ed elements an opportunity TO be heard !;
while their theories may be false, still they
prove that those who entertain them are in
trouble and they will bring out many facts
which will be OF value. The discussions of
this year will be Of great use; to cure them,
the evils must be brought to fight; nor does
he entertain fears Of serious results from the
communistic and socialistic organizations.
He points out that it is not the poor, but
the formerly wealthy who have suffered most
In the long period Of depression, and that
governments bonds are not owned by capi-
talists, but are held in the main by savings
banks and by insurance companies, as trus-
tees for the Industrial masses He says that
it Is q curious fact that the wealthy manu-
facturers Of New England and Pennsylvania
have been preaching the doctrine Of commu-
nism, In urging that that class Of American
labor must be protected and supported by
taxing American citizens through the tariff.
Speaking OF New York specuators, he says:
"There cannot be a more CHASTITY sight on
Wall street than to speak Of its bloated capi-
talists, when it Is charnel-house, full OF the
skeletons of dead corporations, while those
that are left are shrunk to skin and bones. A
list Of its bankruptcies will show that there
Is not spot on earth where financial cpl
denies have slain such multtudes of bank
ers, brokers and speculators.

tine-HearGy support for Burke.

Especial to the Demoerat]
CoUsHATTA, Aug. 1O-The first bale OF new
cotton was received by us to-day. It Was
raised by G. Brown on Boards Flat, Bayou
plantation, and classes Strict Low Middlfng.
This is the earliest cotton ever brought to
market here in our recollection. Cotton looks
we'll, and picking will commence everywhere
on the river by Monday, the twelfth. CATER
pillars have made their appearance on Armis-
teads and Russ plantations above here, but
have done no damage in the hills The cotton
has never been so good, and there is no sign
of the worm.
Owing to the yellow fever in New Orleans,
boats are not permitted to land here but we
hope that the quarantine will be OF short dl-
ration, as New Orleans is our cotton market.
TIE health of this town is very good.
Politics are very quiet here. While Moncure
was the first choice of Red River parish, we
will give Col. Burke our hearty support.
