THE GREAT WISCONSIN TORNADO
FIFTY PEOPLE KILLED AND FIVE

May pa special dispatch to the Com
mercidl from Madison, Wis, says: IA
large number of citizens are visiting the
scene of the recent tornado. The roads
are literally jammed with teams from,
all parts of the county viewing the de-
vastations of the storm. None of the
accounts have been exaggerated, nor has
hardly half been told of its destructive
ness i'he eastern towns did not suffer
as much as Primrose, Boutwell,, and
Perry. Thirty lives were lost ip this
county alone and nearly hundred per
sons were seriously injured, while the
destruction of property will reach into
the millions From the first appearance
of the cyclone at Mineral Point, through
its whole course across the State, the de
strnction was great. It is estimated tha
fifty people have been killed and from
two hundred to two hundred and tifty
injured seriously, while scores are left
homeless, many Of them not knowing
where their next meal is coming from
The accounts ofsurvivors are narrowing
in the extreme, and the woe and desola,

the toast to 1.-THE Press" Mr.. st. An

as follows:
having in feeling terms expressed
sI for the toast on his own behalf,
WI. 81. Andrew said that as he expected
soon 10 revisit his native land, he fore
saw only one difficulty in securing inn
migration, and that was due to the de-
pioraoie agitation of the State debt ques-
tloh. A State without credit and peo-
PIE without capital would never become
prosperous but he hoped to see Virgin
"a honestly redeeming her credit and
!hen capital and enterprise would speed
tiy develop the vast resources of the
commonwealth and scatter peace and
penny everywhere. Each returning year
winch brought Anglo irginians togeth-
er 10 celebrate the natal day of Victoria,
the Great, only bound them all closer to
virginia, the beloved land of their adop-
ton.
On behalf of the Press he felt proud
tnaI Wnlle JOURNALISTS were the
worst paid of any class of the commu-
nlty, they were foremost in steadfast de-
votion to the public interests. The

work for the State, and being PERSONAL

SUDDEN MARRIAGE OF YOUNG FIRE.
M0NT.-Fashionable circles at the West
End were agitated last evening by the
intelligence of the reception of tele-
gram from Ensign Fremont, of the
navy, stating that he was married in
New York Tuesday to Miss Anderson,
OF q. street, northwest. This event was
totally unexpected. It is believed here
that the young couple happening to meet
in that city (the groom being about to
sail for Paris, where he is ordered on
duty, and the young lady with her moth
er having also engaged passage for
France,) they, without consulting
friends, concluded to marry at once aud
spend their honeymoon abroad. The
hrldegr0pM is popular young officer of
the navy, the son of Gen. John g. FIRE.

Fremont, the pathfinder, married his
wife Ia daughter of the late Senator
Thomas Fl. Benton under somewhat
similar circumstances Wash. Star.

A RIOT TEST CASE DECIDED.-A test
case involving the liability of Allegheny
county, Pa, for goods destroyed in the
July riots Of 1877, has just been decided
at Beaver, Pa, to which county the case
had been removed. The plaintiff, a
Cincinnati whiskey firm, brought suit
to recover value for shipment of whis
key destroyed en- route by the mob at
Pittsburg, claiming to recover the full
value of the whiskey at the point OF
shipment, with interest and freight add
ed as far as Pittsburg. The defence took
the ground that the act making the
county liable was not intended for the
protection of any but citizens of the
county; that the disturbance at Pitts
burg was more than mob, amounting
to an insurrection that if the officers oil
the railroad company were at fault III
having the property at Pittsburg, or in
their conduct with reference to it, the
owners of the goods could not recover.
They made offers of evidence to sustain
these points, all of which were overruIed
by the court, and a verdict was render
ed for the full amount claimed by the
plaintiff The case will be appealed to
the Supreme Court.

JUDGE BLACK ON THE POTTER In
vEsTIGATION.-A Philadelphia Times
reporter had talk with Judge Black
in that city on Monday, but he did not
speak very freely of the investigation
going on at Washington into the frauds
of 1876. 1t was easy to see that he was
under some restraint in this part of his
chat, arising, perhaps out of past OIL
present professional connection with
the subject.
II take no stock in the prospect OF
turning out Hayes by quo warranto. Nc
doubt Hayes got the presidency by
means of fraud. But he got it and
has it. It was conceded to him by the
House of Representatives, which ought
to have withheld it from him. Posses
sion under such circumstances is title,
to every legal intent and purposes. MIR.
Hayes is President for four years unless
bis term shah be abridged by impeach-
ment, resignation or death.
"Can't he be impeached for the fraud
practiced to elect him? Certainly not.
But if there was fraud to which he
consented or for which he bargained
beforehand, and after he got into power
he rewarded the guilt of the rascals by
giving them offices, he is Improbable
for that. So is any subordinate officer
who did the same thing"
