PETERSBURG, Va, Sept. This
city and vicinity were visited late
last night, by the heaviest rain
storm that has occurred here in many
months. The rain fell in torrents,
accompanied by heavy thunder and
vivid flashes of lightning. The
custom-house was struck by light
ming and several persons severely
stunned. The telephone wire rum
ming into Tabb-street Presbyterian
church was badly injured. The
Western Union Telegraph Office
was struck and q number Of employ
es stunned. A. Archer, book-keep-
er of the bank Of Petersburg, while
wrighting was knocked from his
seat and badly stunned, the pen In
his hand being melted. A number
Of houses in the lower portion Of the
city were flooded and trees uprooted.
In adjacent counties the rain was
very heavy, and the roads badly
washed.

has. R. poolittle At 1ndlanapolis.


l was present when the returns
from every parish in that state were
brought to New Orleans, and ac-
cording TO those returns, before
they were doctored and altered,
made by the instruments of the re-
publican party themselves, the Til
den electors had majority ranging
from 5000 to 5000 votes. Gen. Gar
field was at New Orleans. He
knew these returns fairly elected
Mr.. Tilden president. He stood by
board, without law and by fraud,
rejected the votes of the people.
He went to Washington and sat
upon the commission OF fifteen.
After these returns had been frau
dulently made, and when the ques-
tion came up before the commission
whether, the returns being fraudu-
lent, they could go behind them, 1
appeared before that commission.
We were required to state in writ
ing the reason why the vote of Lou
isiana should not be given to Mr..
Hayes, and we put it down In writ
ing that we were prepared to prove
that a majority of the free votes of
Louisiana were given for the Til
den electors. We offered to prove
that by conspiracy entered into
between the governor of that state,
William Pitt kellogg, who appoint
ed every officer that controlled the
elections in the state, that by a con-
spiracy entered into by him and
the returning board, it was agreed
that whatever the vote might be
they would give the certificate of
election to the Hayes electors. Gar
field sat on that commission. He
said: "We won't let you prove it.
You are excluded by the returns"
AS a member of the electoral COM
mission, sworn to try judicially and
determine the rights of the case,
whether Tilden and Hendricks, or
Hayes and Wheeler had the right
ful majority, he refused to examine
and try the very question and the |
only question they. were appointed |
by law to try and determine, viz:
whether majority Of the votes of
Louisiana were cast for the Tilden
electors or for the Hayes electors.

The BOItors' Candidate as a state
fcarthaee Irerald.l

The last Legislature voted five
thousand dollars TO mploy lawers to
contest the new issue of the Bank Of
Tennessee, though the entire ques-
tion had been decided by the su-
preme court of the United States.
Mr.. Wilson, the bolter's candidate,
voted for this law.
Gov. Marks, under this law, ap-
pointed j. III. Savage and s. X.
Wilson to represent the State under
this law, and few days after the
Legislature adjourned they drew
from the treasurer two thousand
dollars as Tee, though they had not
performed a single hour OF service
In the cause. The constitution OF
Tennessee, Article 2 Section 10, pro-
vides:
NOsenatOr or representative shall.
during the term for which he was
elected, be eligible to any Office or
place OF trust, the appointment Of
which is vested in the executive or
general assembly, except to the Of
flee OF trustee of a literary institu-
tiOn.
After this wilful violation OF the
constitution, can Mr.. Wilson be
trusted as an executive?
Savage and Wilson had taken an
oath to support the constitution OF
Tennessee, but deliberately violated
this plain provision. Ought.itley
not TO have voted TO submit this
proposition to a vote Of the people ?
The boilers prate much about
General Garfield and the credit lnO-
bilier and DeGolyer JObs, and yet
desire to support MIR. Wilson who is
in the same boat with Garfield.
Voters, think Of this before you
bolt from regular Illumination!

gave up in despair. The doctor and
| parted good friends, though, for
he>propitiated me by the Gift Of one
of his brass buttons.
1t now being time to cross to our
own boat, we bade them all adieu
and sailed out to sea for the foreign
mails. The steamer City of Chester
was in quarantine and had brought
the European mails for our boat to
take up. For awhile we lay at Sta
ten Island watching for her lights.
She did not come, SO we had to go.
out to look her up. Way down
from Coney Island with great swift
ness came a great black bird,
with widespread wings, and breast
dotted with spots of gold. 80, how
lovely she is ~ we all exclaimed ;
and as it came nearer and nearer it
proved to be our looked for steamer.
Running alongside, we tied our
lines, and then commenced a scene
of excitement. A gang-pIank with
curved sides was hoisted TO theship,
one end resting on our boat. Al
crowd Of men gathered about it and
handed bag after bag to two sailors,
who put them upon this inclined
plane, and down they slid into our
boat. The captain of the steamer
stood in the full blaze of the torch |
lights, looking on, an effective fig
ure with his snowy hair and beard, |
which lay in silky lengths upon his
jacket of blue. Some young men
who had come down to meet friends
were on the top of our boat kissing
and hand-shaking with mothers
and sisters. Through the windows
of the steamer some girls pass out
glasses of wine to drink to their
and above all the chatter
and noise rises the "yo-heave-ho" of
the sturdy sailors.
After the mail was all sent down,
D tin box was placed upon the slide
and came with a bounce. This con-
tained all the ships papers. The
slide was hastily withdrawn, a slen-
Ter ladder raised, and down it came
with the agility of monkey, the
Durser. A cheer of three times
.hree was given him, and girlish
ones bade him good speed. Above
he others was voice with faint
oreign ring, which uttered clearly,
goodbye, sweetheart" This was
greeted with a laugh. "Cast off our
inc from the ship, here away" !" and
,nce more we are homeward-bound,
While the steamer lies a painting,
,reathing thing amidst the rush of
waters. EVA.

The Finger Of Destiny.
lCourier-Journall


Hancock was born both handsome
and lucky. Why, just look at the
record. In 1868, Garfield brought a
bill into congress to drop the Junior
major general. That was Hancock.
Tt passed both houses of congress
and was signed by the president.
But before it could be carried into
effect George III. Thomas, the senior
major-general, died, and Hancock,
going up one grade, was no longer
the JUNIOR majOr-general, and 80 the
law could not reach him. Then the
republicans, still led by Garfield,
passed an act reducingto three. This
was signed by the president, but be-
fore ii could be carried into effect
Meade died, and the major-generals
were reduced to three by God AL
mighty. Finally a law passed, au-
thorizing the president to drop one
of the major-generals. Before 1t
could be carried out and Hancock
be dropped, Halleck died, and Han
cock becoming the senior major
general, he could not be dropped.
The man who survived all these at
tempts to retire him cannot be re-
tired. The man who led them
Garfield-will as a fit consummation
of his act, fall victim to his inten-
ded victim. Hancock will be elect
ed president. Garfield will be re-
tired-at least from the president
ial field.

THERE was large democratic
meeting at Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 8.
Senator A. G. Thurman presided.
On being introduced he said: 81
must make a few remarks relative
to the somewhat singular sight
which will be presented to your Wis
ion this evening. You will be per-
mitted to listen to three brigadier-
generals, two of whom were in the
Union army, while one of them,
Gen. Hooker, of Mississippi, was in
lhe confederate army, but who, at
the end of the war, recognized that
sectionalism was put down forever
one who determined thencefOrth
and forever to support the stars and
stripes, and one who had always
been a true Union man. This sight
is an index of what will prevail all
over the Union when Winfield S.
Hancock is elected president. That
is one of the greatest reasons for the
election of that great man TO the
presidency. One of the greatest
dangers that has ever happened To
our land is this question OF section
alisIn. Washington referred TO 1t
in a famous address. For fifteen
years the republicans have pointed
to the solid south, and said, Behold
seetionalism, when in fact it was
the republican leaders who, by their
words and acts, made the south
solid; but, this year, this sectional
ism is to be rebuked by the grace Of
god and the election of Glen. Han
cock. Then you will see one of the
greatest nations that ever lived
united as one people and as broth
ers."
