which took place at that city on Thurs

ending of the life of one of the most noble
men we ever became acquainted with, is
briefly yet truly sketched. And though
we thought our iourneyings across the
Continent were unattended with danger

contact with him. The business men of al

AND certain men are now charging the
Democratic defeat of last Tuesday upon
General Ewing. Some aIlege that the
loss of Hamilton county was largely due
to Ewing's candidacy. But General Ew-
ing, even in this county, ran ahead of
his ticket. He was stronger than his
party &C Cincinnati Enquirer.
This is an admission on the part of the
Enquirer that the Democracy of Hamilton
county were not defeated by Republican
bayOnets and repeaters, but because their
party was in the minority. Ewing ahead
of his party vote and yet was badly beaten
in Hamilton county. He must, ac-
cOrding to the Enquirer, have received
some Republican votes or had some ex-
traneOuS assistance.

a Destructive Hurricane in spain.


MADRID, Oct. 1.-THE hurricane Tues
day night was accompanied by heavy
rains, which Overfiowed the rivers Nun
doc and Segura and flooded the pOpulOus
and fertile valley cities of COrca, Ori-
huela, Murciland and Crevillenti. A
number of villages between Murcia, Ali
cante and Cartagena were more or less
injured. The rivers suddenly rose sew
eral yards during the night, and the in
habitants were compelled to fly without
saving any property. The streams are
covered with wrecks of farm houses, ag-
ricultural implements, dead cattle and
some human COrpSeS. Soldiers and ma
rines have been sent by train from the
nearest stations to the scene of the dis
aster. Churches and public buildings are
occupied by thousands of fugitives. Tele-
graph lines were destroyed between Mad
rid, Aurcia, Orihuela, Alicante and Alba
cete. The same storm also partially
flooded Malaga, and interrupted telegraph
and railway communication even as far
as HeuIva and Seville. The Spanish Cabi-
net met yesterday to decide upon meas
ures of relief.
| MADRID, Oct. 19.-Further inundations
have occurred in the provinces of Alme-
ria, Malaga and Alicante. Several per-
| sons were killed and much damage done
| to property. In the Malaga and Alicante
districts 2, 900 houses were destroyed, and
it is believed 800 persons perished by the
floods. The damage to property is esti-
mated at sc, 600, 900 francs.
| LATER.-A telegram from Murcia states
that $40 bodies have already been found.
1t is believed over 1000 people perished.
LONDON, Oct. 2O.-A dispatch from
Paris says the total damage by recent
| floods in Spain is estimated at 60 900 O00
francs. Three thousand five hundred
houses and l2O mills were destroyed.
King Alfonso has subscribed So 900 francs
for the relief of the sufferers, and the
| Princess of AstWrias 5000 piastres. The
Bank of Spain has collected 10000 francs
! for the same purpose.
! The Cortes will be asked to relieve
| Murcia from direct taxation in cOnse-
quence of losses by inundation.
The flood was subsiding rapidly Satur-
day. No fresh danger is expected.

THE result of the election in this State
this fall means that the people of Ohio
want no disturbance in our financial svs-
tenn; that they regard the Democratic
doctrine of State sovereignty as rebellious
and revolutionary in its tendencies, and
that the perpetuation of our National
Government rests safely only in the
hands of the Republican party-the party
to whom it owes its present national
chaEaCter.

it should pool its fools and bury them

that quite considerable number of them
dug their own graves and buried therein

been bad thing for the Democratic party
in many respects, but it has saved the
party a good deal in the way of funeral
expenses.

the sales, however, were "Options." The
European demand is now very heavy, and

tolls not, neither does he spin,' yet he
dresses better than the sons of toll who
have not been so lucky as he. John was
a conspicuous character. He was Demo-
cratic pet, soldier of fortune whom the
Democracy love and honor. He gave
name and fame to one of the most notori-
GUS and prolligate legislative bodies ever
assembled in this country; and then, hay
ing performed the dirty work of his COM
rades, lie was Ousted and disgraced. But
the ungrateful treatment of his compeers
did not give them reputation. The O'Con-

SINCE the termination of the Ohio cleo
tiOns the Democrats do not think the ma
tional banks are such terribly dangerous
institutions to the liberties of the country
rs they did before they took place. Be
fore the election every poor Democrat
who was not responsible for the payment
of a five dollar note in a bank, and who
could not get an Endorsement for that
amount on a note, imagined he was pay
ing an enormous sum of hard money that
he never earned in his life to run these
monster national banks. In fact, he had
strong convictions that he was bearing
upon his own shoulders about the whole
pecuniary weight of the government.
What relief it must be to him, now that
the election is over and he has made the
discovery that his Democratic leaders
have been humbugging him about the
wickedness of the national banks.
