From South Africa,

LONDON, August SIR Garnet VOLS
ley has resolved 10 occupy Ulundi until
peace is fully established. Troops press
Cetewayo on all sides. Gen. Wolsley' S
interview with the coast chiefs was sat
isfactory, but the latter considered quiet
impossible while Cetewayo is at large.
The natives generally cannot under
stand the retirement OF the British
forces from Uliundi, hence Gen. Vols
ley will reoccupy it, and has summoned
all the chiefs TO meet him there the 10th
of August 10 settle the questions relative
10 the future of the country. Opera
tions against Cetewayo are by irregulars
and friendly natives. Arrangements
are making To break the first division
and cavalry brigade and send the men
home. Oham has undertaken TO cap
ture his brother Cetewsyo.
Accident TO King Alfonso.
MADRID, August The curriage in
which King Alfonso was returning from
Escurial to LaGranja, was upset and
the Kings arm dislocated. General
Echagev, who accompanied the King,
had his wrist sprained. The Kings
arm WAS ICSCl.
Fearful Hurricane.
MoUCroR, y. T., August IA fearful
hurricane passed up Bucloshe river and
vicinity last night. Eighty buildings
were destroyed and large bridge car
ried away. Three people were killed,
and many very badly injured.
Since the last report information has
been received that the destruction is
more extensive than at first supposed.
A very few houses escaped injury. Be
sides that done to the spire and roof Of
the Roman Catholic chapel, the out
buildings, store, houses and barns Of
Rev. Mr.. Machand are a mass OF ruins.
Miss Julia Michand, neicc of the Priest,
was severely injured. The convent Was
somewhat racked, but is still stand
ing. Several cords of bark, await
ing shipment, with several RATS
of deals were driven To sea. lrvlngs
warehouse was utterly destroyed. The
large school building with furniture and
library is a total loss. Timbers Of ton
weight were raised and carried several
hundred feet with the violence OF the
tempest. The old moulding shop and
other buildings at the ship yards were
swept away. Fences were levclcd in
all directions. The ruins of farm houses
and barns defy description. In
many cases they are strewn
for miles along the highway
roads. Crops and valuable forest lands
were completely destroyed. New deaths
are continually reported; in one instance
a mother was crushed Ia death while
her child in her arms was uninjurcd.
Several children in Dollard's Settlement
are missing; they had been picking
and are supposed TO be killed. Visitors
are arriving from all parts, and subscrip-
tions to the starving country folks are
freely made.
Arctic Expedition.
LoNDoN, August 7.-According To all
vices from Copenhagen the announce
ment that the NordenkSold Arcuccxpe-
dition had passed Behring's Straits was
premature. 4 letter from Nor,lenksjold,
dated in February at the entrance OF the

the municipal convention last Spring,
the Republican county convention nom
mated a ticket of undOubted strength
and character; but unfortunately for
their prospects, the majority OF their
nominees declined and Il new conven-
ton was called, which last Saturday NOM
mated anOther.goOd ticket, having as
certained in advance that its nominees
would stick. This ticket, however,
while good, is not exceptional, and there
is but one man upon it who is known
or has any reputation outside of his own
bailiwick. That man is Capt. l.. ID. My
crs, editor of the Dispatch, who was
nominated for Representative andwhose
nomination is credit to the cOnven-
ton. He is an able worker, a widely
informed and liberal politician and a
genial and accomplished gentleman.
He will command the undivided support
of his party, and will receive many
Democratic votes, and, were the Gov
ernorship not at stake, would see his
calling and election come. Even as II is
he may pull through, but If he does he
will be the only one who will.
1t is by such nominations as the
one Just stated that the Repub-
licans used to make diversion
in their favor, and their tactics
have had the good effect OF compelling
the Democrats to offset them by others
equally good. Franklin county is not
alone. In Hamilton, Stark, Delaware,
and other counties, which are uncer-
tain, the Republicans have done the
same, so that taken all in all, we have a
better class of candidates before the peO-
pie of Ohio now than at any time for
years past. This is equally true OF each
party. All other things being equal
then, all the Democrats need is Il good
organization to insure success.

The Darien Canal.

WASHINGToN, August THE Prcsi-
dent and Secretary Of State are firmly
convinced that no sXigency is likely to
arise through the Darien Canal project
which can cause disQuietude or make II
necessary for this Government to take
steps for the protection OF American in
terrstS. They believe NJ. De Lesseps
and the Paris Congress have selected an
impracticable route and that the scheme
will eventually fail through the lack OF
financial support and American cooper
alton.
New GoEK, August THE subscrip-
ton list for stock OF the Inter-OceaniC
canal closed this afternoon at the office
the NeS NOrS Agency of Credit Sec
retary Maillard stated that he conld not
tell the number OF shares subscribed iOr
i'm this city, because there were other
agencies here besides the one he was
connected with, who reported directly
to DeLesSepS, at Paris. He thought
however. that the amount OF stock sub
Sribed for here was every small.

TYLER'S TROUBLES.
Serious Charges Against the
Postmaster at Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, August 7.-Captain b. +.
Mathews, member of the Grand Army
of the Republic, and until recently gen
eral delivery clerk of the Baltimore post
office, visited Washington last evening
and laid before President Hayes copy
OF serious charges against Postmaster
TYLER. The charges, which Captain
Mathews says can be sustained by an
Investigation which he asks for, cover
the alleged miSdeeds, officially and per-
sonallv, of General Tyler, and,
if sustained, would probably
result in Ousting him from
his office. His military record during
the war is asSailed, and his personal re-
lations with female clerks in the office
are alleged to have been of 4 Scandalous
character. He is also charged with hav-
ing compelled the employees TO sign a
paper asking for his retention, and OF
having dismissed some Of them who re-
fused to sign the document. Mathews
saws he would not remain in the office
under such conditions, and resigned
On the other hand, General Tyler says
that Mathews was dismissed for cause.
Mathews says he will press the charges
and secure an Investigation, If possible.

adherence to compacts is the only foun-
dation on which to build fortune and
reputation. Congress has no more right
TO demonetize silver than it has to de-
monetize gold. Should Congress de-
mOnetize both, we should be left without
a Constitutional currency. Mr.. Sneed ar
CUES that silver coin in accordance with
the Constitution, was legal tender for
everything. He claimed that the rela-
tive value of silver and gold has re-
maued and will continue the same, with
slight fluctuations, regardless OF the sup
ply. Some other papers were read and
the day closed with the presentation by
Hugh S. Fleming, of Pennsylvania, OF
resolution requesting the Executive
Council to report some feasible plan to
be pursued for bringing before Congress
the present unjust and enormous taxes
now assessed on the National banking
institutions of the country.
