The Marshfeld tornado appeared
to those who saw it, to have the
shape of al immense cloud, of conf
cal shape, looking much like the
smoke from burning oil. 1t was
densely black in the centre, but light
er on the edge. It rolled along with
a roaring noise, and by its centrifu7
gal force scattered the debris Of the
wreck it was creating on either side.
The air was filed with millions of
pieces of planks. 1t was in shape
like a funnel. The rolling motion of
the cloud is shown by the trees, the
tops of which are not broken but ac-
tually twisted off. This visitation
was a tornado and not a whirlwind.
1t was unaccompanied by rain or
electric phenomena. The tops of
timber in the county for three miles
west of Marshfield are twisted off.
Dead horses, COWS, hogs and dogs
were found along the path of the
storm, and even the fowls were killed.
Some of the bodies of the light ami
mails were blown a great distance.
Young trees are barked completely,
either by the force.of the wind or by
contact with the debris that filed
the air.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: The
bloody shirt S~talwarts have a new foe
in the person of the Rev. T. De Witt
Talmage. He recently made a trip
through the Southern States, and
the hospitality Of the people and
their genial kindliness captured his
heart. To illustrate the peace and
prosperity and good feeling towards
the North that he met with while in
the Southern States, the reverend
gentleman delivered q sermon last
Sunday in the Brooklyn Tabernacle,
taking as atext the fifteenth verse of
the fifth chapter of Judges" After
a few preliminary remarks about his
visit, the speaker came right to the

One of the New York dailies says

One of the New York dailies says:
Whatever else may be doubtful
about the intention of the authors of
u tariff laws, they undoubtedly
meant to place on the free list all
materials used in the manufacture
of paper. 1t happened that pulp of
wood, which is far the most impor-
tant element in the manufacture of
paper used by the daily and weekly
press of the country, was not specifi-
cally and by name exempted from
duty. Under a Treasury decision
which held that this verbal omission
was fatal to the free admission of
wood pulp, a few manufacturers of
that article have been able to impose
an exorbitant tax on the general body
of paper-makers, by whom it is of
course shifted on the consumers, the
newspaper publishers Of the country,
and the burden falls with special
hardship on publishers outside of the
great cities-we, consequently, be-
ing impoverished so that a handful
of monopolists may grow rich. The
most powerful champion of these
monopolists is Representative GAR
FIELD. Were his opposition to the
bill withdrawn, the restoration of
wood pulp to the free list, where it
belongs, would be accomplished in a
few days. While his opposition con
tinues the monopolists are secure,
Can Mr.. GARFIELD afford to continue
his support of a most odious and OPP
pressive tax which brings no reve
nue. to the Government, but which
interferes very decidedly with the
dissemination of knowledge among
the people?

The Rex Carnival association of
New Orleans elected General Grant
a member of it's order with the title
of "Duke of America" In accepting
the compliment he remarked that it
would under ordinary circumstances
hardly be proper for him to accept
the distinction as he had been FIRE
quently charged with an attempt to
seize upon a higher title, but under
the circumstances and approaching
the objects Of their worthy organiza-
ton he accepts the title and thanks
them for it. 1t would have been a
splendid opportunity to deny having
an idea of "seizing ona higher title"
but he studiously avoided denying
il.

The conflict among the various
Republican factions wakes warm.
At one time the Sherman men are
pitching into the Blaine men; then
the Blaine men pitch into the Sher-
man men; then both Blaine and
Sherman men $50 for the Grant
men; the Grant men are full of fight
and seem to are very little whether
they take their enemies singly or en-
masse. A somewhat ludicrou us fea-
ture of the contest is the spreading
of ~'circulars'' by the different fac
.tions broadcast over the land. These
circulars contain full particulars of
the disreputable traits Of the various
contestants and will be interesting
reading for Democrats after the Chi
cago nomination.

The d~isgraceful story of the fail
ure of the Freedman's Savings Bank
is reeounted anew in the report of
Senator Bruce's committee, with an
additional chapter, which is a piece
with the rest. Since the institution
went into liquidation, $4,000 has
been paid as salaries to the commits
sioners appointed by the Govern
ment to wind up its affairs, $4,000
to agents, and $4,000 to attorneys,
all of which has been taken out of
the funds due the poor depositors.
The report revives unpleasant mem
cries of a recent regime at Washing
ton of which this Freedman's Bank
swindle was but a circumstance
among the many.

SAMUEL J.. TILDEN proved to be a
very lively corpse at the New York
Democratic Convention on the Doth
inst. He carried off 295 votes against
80. Two sets of delegates were Sc
lected. The delegates Of tie Tilden
branch are Ex-Governor Robinson,
Calyen E. Pratt, Rufus W. Peckham
and Lester W. Faulkner; and of the
Kelly branch, Amasa j. Parker, VIM.
Dorsheimer, Jeremiah Mcclure and
G. C. Green. The former adopted a
resolution condemnipg the electoral
conspiracy of 1876; and the latter
a resolution strongly protesting
against Tilden's nomination. Thus
New York goes to the national con-
vention with two distinct set Of del
egates.

The Republican Ring and Clique
conferred here in Eaton, are busy just
Low bargaining off the different
County offices TO be filled next fall.
These fellows have an idea that they
own these places. The solid tax-pay
ers may decide differently next Oc-
tober. Il they don't, they may wake
up some day and find they have con-
fided the public funds in the hands
of an Ambrose OF IN Ashley Brown.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
AsHINGToN, u. u,
April 21st. 1880.

WASHINGTON, D. c.,
April 21st. 1880.
The two Houses of Congress have
been in wrangles for the past week
over various questions, The Senate
Is listening to speeches about the
Geneva award, or what remains oft
some ten million dollars. Sena-
tors Blaine, Carpenter, Thurman,
Jones, of Florida, and Edmunds
have spoken, and Eaton and others
will speak. Senator Conkling has
not SO far got beyond asking the va
rious speakers questions, but is said
to contemplate a speech on the sub
|ject. This Senator has been moth
ing but an animated Interrogation
point, so far during the session.
The particular cause of delay in
the House now is the immediate de-
ficiency bill, or, rather, Senate
amendments to it. The radical min
ority forced the wasting of yesterday
or that bill by parliamentary tactics.
Political history is being made
rapidly this month. In the Demo
cratic party yesterday was a day of
importance, being that of the New
York State Democratic Convention.
The delegates selected are equivocal-
ly for Tilden, but are at the same
time not men who will pursue a phan-
tom. If at any time the nomination
of Tilden at Cincinnati should ap-
pear to them to be inexpedient, they
are of the class of men who will know
what to do, and when to act, and will
have the courage to act. Of the body
of men who met at the same time
and in the same city as the Demo
cratic Convention, and called them
selves Democrats, it can only be said
that they have made a mistake as to
the name to which they are entitled.
Such of them as have any honest
Democratic sentiments will be found
acting inside the party this fall. The
others will benefit the party by leay-
ing it. 80
Among Republicans everything
points to Grant as the candidate.
Sherman has Ohio, and, probably,
scattering votes in the South. His
friends claim 200 votes at the Chi.
cago Convention on the first ballot.
They would gladly compromise on
fifty. Blaine has Maine, Iowa, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Rhode Island, part ol
Connections, Texas, Pennsylvania.
New York, and stands a good show
for some Illinois votes, his friends
claim everything.
So much history has been made
in the present month, it is not by
any means certain who will be the
Democratic Presidential candidate
The party has excellent materia.
and much Of it, to select from. But
as it knows, or thinks it knows the
candidate against whom it must
nominate, and that, I suppose, was
the governing reason for calling it;
Convention late in June, after the
radicals held theirs. Democrats car
now come to a conclusion upon theil
own candidate. Those most popular
in the East are Hancock, Tilden
Semyour and Bayard, and in thu
West, Thurman, Hendricks and Pal
mer. All L good men, and coufr

Some Of the proceedings ofthe Re
publican Convention of last Satur-
day held in Eaton, were not entirely
satisfactory to all that are after the
spoils. Giving the Central Commit
tee the power to select the time for

interest of some of the candidates
for the offices. Bye, bye, Henry.

Quite a number of Congressman
who voted and worked for the Elec-
toral Commission to adjust the pres
idential question, are now opposed
to the denomination of Mr.. Tilden
because he did nos take the Office to
which the people elected him four
years ago. He simply accepted the

for abiding by the result of the Elec-

The wheat crop of 1879 was the
largest ever raised in the United
States, but it is predicted that the
crop of the present year promises to
ex eed it. The Chicago Times which
has Geographic reports from all sec
tions of the West and Northwest es-
Inmates that the yield will be 60 per
cent. greater than last year. This
is due to large increase in the ac-
reage planted, brought about by the
high prices obtained for wheat this

A resort to equivocal methods I'M
der the specious plea of necessity is
one of the most formidable dangers
which menace the rights of the
States aud the ultimate sovereignty
of the people. Modern Statesmen
have discovered in the verbiage of
the Federal Constitution a vast res
ervoir of latent powers. The whole
protective tariff system in all its
magnitude, hangs upon the two
words general welfare" in the text
of the article relative to revenue.
And in the single word manner in
another article is found authority in
the General Government to regulate
the entire conduct of elections for
members of Congress in any and oil
the States. The same construction
which is relied on for the validity of
Federal supervision through deputy
marshals and other officials over the
polls opened to elect Representatives
in Congress can be with equal pro-
priety extended to authorize an in
vasion of State Legislatures for the
purpose of experimenting the choice
Ct United States Senators. Under
the vicious rule of constitutional in
depreciation which the consolidation
lists show a disposition to adopt the
most revolutionary aims may be ac-
complished, and our entire govern
mental system may be vitality chang,
ed. Describing the safe landmarks
of contemporaneous exposition, and
setting aside the meaning attached
by the trainers of our organic law to
the words they used, these new ex.
Founders of the Constitution-much
after the fashion of some religious
~seetaries in dealing. with the Scrip.
tures-boldly assert the right to
wrest its language by attenuated and
afmsy criticism into pretexts for the
most unwarranted departures from
the known intention of the authors
of that instrument. 1t is high time
to call a halt to the vagaiies of these
modern doctrinaires.

of the doings of the Legislature,
says: "The wild legislation INDUCED
in by this General Assembly in re-
gard to railroad bonds is causing
much alarm among the more sober
part of the people. Large numbers
of townships have been authorized
to build railroads and to issue bonds,
which are sure to greatly Cypress
their inhabitants. Townships with
not over 5000, 900 on their tax dupli-
Gates, are going into debts Of $780,
600, $4,000 and $4,000, for i'm
provements which can bring but lit
tie value to the people who must pay
the taxes L pom them. Villages and
municipal corporations have been
authorized to incur debts for ma
chine shops, county buildings, road

of the stories we get here in the
North, distilled by special cores
pondents, are sheer fabrications and
most persistent attempts to misrepre-
sent the real character of a large Sec
ton of our people. There is no more
need of governmental espionage at
Charleston or Savannah and other
Southern cities than there is in New
York or Boston. Some people have
an idea that the sentiment in the
South leans towards the re-establish-
ment of negro slavery. All! the peo-
pie are heartily glad to get rid of it
and the plains now are placed under a
better system of cultivation because
il is gone. Old planters told me that
the worry and anxiety and the care of
a plantation of negroes is all gone,
and now all they have to do is to pay
the wages at the end of a month.
Put it to ballot in the South whether
or not you would have again the
system which prevailed before the
war, and you would get a laundering

He hated the political luminosity
that would manufacture stories of
COURAGE" out of whole cloth for po-
litical effect. He thought it was dew
ilish to call the temper of the South
saturnine, as he had never yet found
a mar North who had a fair ground
of complaint against the South. Mr..
Talmage may find occasion to en-
large his views when the Republi-
cans get fairly to waving the san
culinary garment again.
