The Massachusetts Republican conven.
ton for the election of delegates large to
the Chicago Convention, met in Worcester,
Thursday. Speeches were made by Gen.
Banks. Ex-Gov. Boutwell, and George l..
Rufin in favor of General Grant and BY Rev.
James Freeman Clarke in opposition to the
third term.
Delegates were elected favoring Senator
Edmunds. The Sherman men acted with
the Edmunds men, believing that Sherman
would receive the support of the delegation
when it becomes apparent in the National
Convention, that the nomination of Edmunds
is impossible, as they believe it will.

The storm which has recently swep,
over several of the Western States was one
of the most destructive to life and property
that has ever been known. In Missouri es-
peeially the loss Of life is terrible to contem-
plate. Portions Of Kansas, Arkansas, Iowa,
Illinois and Wisconsin have also suffered Sc
riously, but no where have the results been
SO distressing as in the town Of Marshtield.
the county seat Of Webster county. in the
Southern part of Missouri. Our dispatches
this morning give but faint idea of the ter
rible suffering that has been brought about
BY the sudden and almost total destruction
of the town

Letter from Washington.
WASHINGTON. ID. C.. April II. 1850

WASHINGTON. ID. C.. April IL, 1850.
The Democrats are in a terrible autter
over the prospec, that they will lose the
Senate next year. By unseating Kellogg
and holding all the seats they accidentally
hold from Republican States. the, can
figure out possible majority of one or two
next March. But they cannot hang together
for unseating Kellogg. some of the Demo
Gratis fearing that seat stealing will pu, them
out of pocket. In addition to that. Senator
Grover of Oregon is very i'll. and NAV die.
and it is fact that they cannot lose one
Senator by death from a Northern State
without losing seat. as all the Legislatures
are Republican. This fact, added to the
other which late events have established.
that the next House can be Republican il a
good ticket is nominated at Chicago. will
give the Democrats a good deal of hard
study for the nsxt few months. Perhaps it
will be the means of making them behave
themselves. which will he grca, blessing.
The River and lIarbor bill is nearly ready
for report. 1t calls for several million dol.
lars. The Indian Appropriation bill viii
probably become a Law in few DAYS, al
though it NAV elicit some discussion in the
Senate As it ha. in the House There Is
some hope that the present discussion NAV
lead TO a wholesome change in the so-oalled
Indian policy, which is humbug. but all
reforms move slowly, and tho one has the
interests of too many jobbers and agents in
It's way.
Members and lockers on have once more
abandoned speculation As to the final al.
journment OF the session. The Democratic
majority are not disposed TO hurry business
as they ought to, still hoping tina, something
may turn up to help their poor chances #
they wait long enough.
Large bodies move slowly bu, the motion
Of Congress on the Geneva Award bill has
been almost unprcecdently slow 10 the ship
owners who lost by the rebel pilates. They
arr likely now TO get their daes il senator
Blaine and some other Republicans can
have their way. Senator Blaine hi, taken
great interest in this subject, and made sew
cral very strong Arguments in behalf of the
ship owners. believing that they should lie

One Of the most striking results Of
firm basis is found in the quarterly repor Of
J.. Russell x Cos mercantile agency Ac-
eording 10 this report, during the first quar-
ter OF the present year. there were 1882
failures in the United States with liabilities
amounting to Sl2.77T7.074. against 2j2i
failures and Si3,ll2,665 liabilitie. during
the corresponding quarter of last year.
This is only a little more than half the
number and less THIN one third the aggre-
gate liabilities Of the preceding year.
Nothing could attest more fully the wise
financial system adopted and carried out
under republican administration

Mr.. Cook Of Georgia (DemocratD having
remarked that whoever participated in the

saving that such aa intima,ion came very
properly from Representative of district

The Washington Critic says Of Senator
Blaine and his nomination:


"Many persons warmly disposed to sup
port Mr. Blaine for the Presidency, complain
that he does nothing for himself. Nor is it
likely that he will do anything. If chosen
President his nomination must be won BY
the republican Masses and his election by a
frank and confident appeal to the people.
No man is freer from the spirit of the deisa-
gogue and time-seryer. His friends believe
that his candidacy would evoke an enthu-
siasm not equalled in this country since the
famous campaign Of lS4O,"
