THE storm of last Thursday on the
New York and New Jersey coasts was
one of !lnexampled disaster. At sever
al OF the famous summer resorts the sea
swept in in tidal waves and carried away
bath and summer houses aad other out
side structures, damaged the hotels, de-
stroyed roadways, and made havoc gen.
orally. At Coney island, two families,
comprising the mothers and five child
rem and nurse, we've carried away and
drowned the men of the families were
away at the time and SO escaped the
fearful fate Of their wives and children.
At other points on the coast vessels were
wrecked, one of them sinking with all
on board Trains were blocked by the
snow and disasters succeeded disasters
by land and sea- The fury of the storm
is reported as being without precedent.

DEMOCRATIC BULL-DOZING

We are not of those Democrats who are
blind to the faults Of our Southern breth-
rem. Neither are we Of that class who dis
credit all reports of "bulldozing" the col
ored voter, simply because the reports find
expression in Republican newspapers. We
believe, in fact we are thoroughly con,
vinced, that negro voters in the South are
influenced to vote the Democratic ticket OF
remain away from the polls, through means
quite as reprehensible us any employed by
the Republican manufacturing nabobs OF
New England in controlling the votes Of
their half-staved Democratic operatives.
There is no doubt in our mind that frauds
of great magnitude were perpetrated by
South Carolina Democrats at the election
on the 9th of November last. No well in
formed man will honestly deny that there
is legitimate Democratic majority in that
State; but that there is seventy thousand
majority, no reasonable Democrat will
claim. Such a tremendous majority can
not be accounted for on the ground that ex-
traordinary efforts were put forth, or by the
refusal of the blacks to 90 to the polls.
The ballot box suffers were at work, and
it is but little better than folly to deny it.
But, admitting that fraud was practiced,
who is 70 cast the first stone at the Offend
crs! Not the Republican party; fol at Its
doors lies a mountain of such offrndings,
which were practiced just as long as the
party could profit by them. The villain
Gus methods which Grantism left AS legacy
to the South, have been seized upon by the
party against which they were used; and
now if the Republicans are forced to drink
of the same chalice they placed to Demo-
cratic lips, they may make wry faces over
it; but they are estopped from crying OFT
that it is draught that should be spared
them. But no patriot can contemplate such
frauds upon the ballot box, without feeling
grave misgivings as to their effect upon the
future. They work virtual overthrow of
popular suffrage, corrupt and debase the
party that practices them. and render cleo
tons a painful farce, instead of means
for the expression of the peoples will

FROM THE FEDERAL CAPITAL.

BIAINE's RESOLUTION OF INQUIRY-THE IN
DIAN BUREAU-MEXICAN vETERANs-GEN-
ERAL BURNsIDE-MARsHAL PITKIN, ETC.
WASHINGTON, December 10, 1878.
Debate on Blaines resolution authorizing
inquiry into alleged intimidation of voters
will commence on Wednesday next, with
speech by that senator. 1t is said that
Senator's Thurman and Gordon will speak
on the subject, but that there will be no OPP
position to the resolution if it is amended so
as to make it general in its application.
Unnecessary debate on this subject will
have the effect to retard the necessary pub
lie business, and to disquiet the public
mind, and patriotic men Of both parties
are anxious to avoid this at present. For
some thirteen days before the holiday re-
cess, congress will be in session, and in that
time, by q judicious course, it may greatly
strengthen the country financially at pc
Rod when all its strength is needed, or by
an opposite course, may produce directly
the contrary effect. "Let US have peace"
for the next few days.
Interior department officials have been
for the last few days giving testimony and
opinions against transfer of the Indian
bureau to the War department They claim
that the change would be injurious to the
Indians, and expensive to the government.
The army officers who have testified, think
the change would benefit the Indians, and
save money to the government. The com
mission will report at an early day.
Veterans of the Mexican War will soon
hold their annual meeting, and renew their
request to Congress for those pensions which
the country has never failed to grant her
military and naval defenders in their old
age. In the Senate the eloquent Mr.. Voor-
hecs'has their case in hand.
General Burnside says his commission on
the reorganization of the army is ready to
report. There are contradictory statements
rs to what the commission will recommend
but it seems certain reduction in the force
and especially in the number Of officers has
been agreed upon.

will be made marshal of Louisiana in place

SOUTHERN GRATITUDE AND EAST
ERN MALEVOLENCE.

At q recent mass meeting held in New
Orleans for the purpose of expressing, in
proper form, the gratitude of that commu-
nifty towards the country ut large for its
generous aid during the days Of the cpl
demic, the following was one among the
resolutions adopted;
Resolved. That In this universal testimony OF our
fellowcountrymcn that We are one forever more, in

hood one and indissolubc.
While the warm-hearted people of the
South were adopting this resolution amidst
loud and enthusiastic acclaims of approba-
ton, the old-hearted, venemous James G.
Blaine, the great apostle of Republicanism,
was hurting at them, from his Senatorial
culver the poisoned arrows Of his hate, dis
trust and malcvolence. The friendly, recon-
ciled, grateful hand of the South was ex-
tended to him, and he spat upon it.

THE old man at the head of the nava
bureau is determined to place himself on
record as stickler for economy. He didn't

in charge, who are growing equity and rheu-
matte from ovcr-feeding and non-action.

preceded his own. All hail, then, the great

DISHONEST THEN OR NOW.

Republican newspapers and orators be-
came alarmed at the extravaganza of James
Buchanan's administration, and declared
that unless check were interposed by con
gress, the country would certainly go to
eternal smash At that time, 1850, the
Buchanan administration was expanding
money at the rate of $G6,0O0,0O0 year;
but because of the general cutlery against
administrative prohigacy, the old gentle
man, for such he was, every inch of HIM,
arrested work in the way Of ship-building,
and Topped down expenses otherwise, until
the expenditure of 1860 fell short of SOL
100000. But even this effort at economy
failed to satisfy the people The Rcpubli-
can press grew furious over the villainous
waste of public tseasure, and predicted
hopeless bankruptcy as the certain result of
its continuance.
If those Republican professionals against
governmental waste and extravaganza were
honest then, they are brazen-facedly and
villainously dishonest now, in commencing
the prudence and economy of the present
administration. One of the two horns Of
the dilemma they are bound to siezc upon.
There is no escape for them.
They WERE as we have said, loud and flu
rious in their dcnuncations Of the expend-
iture Of $G4000,000 a year under Dem
ocratic administration; but applaud the cx-
penditurc of $l34 100000 year under the
present Republican administration. In
neither total have we included any expend-
iturc Of money on account Of interest
hence it appears that with the same army,
the same navy, and less than 30 per cent
increase in the actual needs of the country,
we find Republican administration ex.
pending more than twice as much money
as Democratic administration, yet, from
the Republican standpoint, the former is
prudent and economical while the latter is
villanously cXtravagant and criminally cor
rupt. And the farther we go back--tht
deeper we dive into the history of Rcpubli
can rule, the more alarming and astounding
do we find the prodigality of the waste
the munifcence Of the losses, and the in
dcfensibility Of the extravaganza.
II seems, however, that Republican ad
ministration is unable even to make tw,
dollars serve the same uses that one dolla
} served under Buchanan. With characters
tic shamelessness, the administrations Sec
; rotary Of the Treasury makes this comics
sion, and demands Of Congress $4,000

SOUTHERN men in the House of Congress
will, almost unanimously, favor the appro-
pration of the money asked for by the pres
ident, to enable him to carry on the federal
election trials. They court thorough,
searching investigation into the alleged
frauds, expressing the conviction that rigid
and impartial judicial inquiry will satisfy
the country that the whole South has been
slandered, because of the excuses Of one or
more isolated localities. That there wa,
