THURSDAY MORNING. JANUARY Is.

Just before the expiration of his term, Gov.
Garcelon issued an order, dated Jan. 8, 1880,
authorizing and directing Gov. Chamberlain
''to protect public property and institutions
until my This successor is duly qualified
This was signed and sealed by Alonzo Garce-
len, as Governor, and Gen. Chamberlain an
nounces that he is acting under this authority,
and will continue to act until Governor IS
legally elected and duly qualified. Gen
Chamberlain has never assumed the title or
the duties of acting Governor, although at
least one New York newspaper possessing a
happy faculty for laundering, has hailed HIM
as such 1t should be borne in mind that the
powers which Gen. Chamberlain has thus far
exercised were expressly conferred upon him
by his original warrant as Major-General OF
the militia. He is yet in full possession of his
office. And if any additional strength were
needed to give validity to his actions 1t VIII be
found il. the Gubernatorial commission which
directs him to take charge of the property and
institutions of the State until Governor is
legally elected and duly qualified.
In the meantime, certain Republicans.
claiming seats, as shown on the face OF the
election returns, but refused certificates by
Garceon, have organized Senate. Sixteen
Senators constitute a quorum. Nineteen Re-
publican Senators-eect three more than quo
rum, constitute the new Senate. These. after
electing officers have passed an order referring
their claims to the Supreme Court tor decision.
I'm other words. these Republican Senators.
without Gubernatorial certitication, take their
seats. organize, and ask for recognition by the
Supreme Court. The Republican Representa-
tives-elect-ninety-on in all-have initiated
the Senate in every particular This adds to
the difficulties of the situation, which must
eventually be composed by the judicial author
ity of the State.

TINK ERING THE TARIFF.
rururJ TO Restore the Duty on Quinine
Boston Journals Special.l

rururJ TO Restore the Duty on Quinine.
Boston Journals Specal.l
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE representatives
of quinine dealers are here to endeavOr to in
duce Congress to reconsider its action on the
tariff on that article. They claim that the
abolition of the duty will not result in any per-
manent change in the price of the article.
The Democratic members of the ways and
means committee have held a private confer
ence to consider what action, if any, shall be
taken by the party on the tariff question. The
Democracy, it appears, desires to increase the
revenue and at the same time to still further
reduce both the tariff and internal tax upon ar
ticles which are particularly used by the DEM
ocratic voting masses. The Southern and
Western Democrats, for instance, insist that
there must be still further reductions in the
tax upon tobacco. Although it is already APP
parent that there will be a decrease of eleven
million dollars in the internal revenue by
reason of the reduction that has already been
made in the tax on that article, others still are
anxious that the tax on distilled spirits shall
be greatly reduced to ompenSate for these re-
auctions that have been made and are contem-
plated. The reimposition OF the tax on tea
and coffee has been proposed. But some of the
sagacous Democrats have suggested that it
would be scarcely polite to reduce the tax on
tobacco and whisky and to impose new tax
on tea and coffee and the articles of the poor
mans breakfast table. The Democratic lead
ers have not as yet been able to find solution
of this self-imposed problem.

denly into the valley of Basseterre at its base.
The inhabitants fled in terror to the coast
The torrent rolled on into the town of Basse-
terre, among the newly built houses and pub
lie edifices, carrying with it roots, trees, tim
bers, and branches of trees Land slips added
to the terrors Sugar cane was levelled to the
ground or torn up in masses, deep gullies were
washed out in the roads, sugar houses and
dwelling places borne bodily away, and the
waters rushed headlong to the sea with their
freight of drowned cattle and struggling hui
man beings.
The population of the island does not exceed
%, 900, and of these 255 persisted, and many of
the rest are homeless. The people huddled
together on the roofs wild with terrier. The
authorities went Immediately to relieve the
distress. Large quantities of provisions and all
the sugar ready for shipment were swept
away. Earnest appeals are made for help. st,
Kits has known no such calamity since 1872,
when terrific hurricane nearly destroyed the
island.

In the reelection of Gambetta yesterday as
President of the Deputies, of the 536 members,
30S deposited voting papers, the numbers OF
the Right, as usual, abstaining. OF these los,
40 resorted to the use of blank papers, or ih-
serted names at random, so that Gambetta,
though reelected, received only 239 votes, or
slightly less than one-half the house, whereas
a year ago he received 314 votes. The Left
comprises $50 members, so that about 10 Re
publicans held aloof, while 80 virtually voted
against him Those lost, it may be inferred,
were OF the Extreme Left, who thus show their
dispeasure at Gambetta's refusal to become
Premier. The abstentions must be attributed
to the Left Centre and portion of the pure
Left.

ST. LOUIS Jan. 14-The colored relief board
received letter from the president of the CO.
lonization council of the South, stating that
since Dee 26th over 400 negro emigrants have
left Caddoes for Kansas. and says that fully
1000 people of that section are anxious to leave,
but have little money. The railroad company
is willing to sell them tickets, but this man
saws that the whites in the neighborhood
threaten violence to the road if the negroes are
taken away. The consequence is, that those
who have means are obliged to cross the coun-
try in wagons to Atlanta and there take the
rail- Considerable numbers of refugees are
expected to arrive here today, and the relief
board, which is wholly without means to aid
these people, appeals for assistance in the
shape of money clothing, etc.
