The Situation in Every Northern Tewn
jamestown IN. W Jonrnal Rep).

jamestown IN. ~ Jonrnal Rep)
We can write down the names of fifty
staunch Republicans in the town of Ellicott
who declare openly that they will not vote
for Gen. Grant if he is placed in nomination
at Chicago. Among the entire number there
Is probably not one of them who would not
vote for Blaine, Sherman, Washburne. Ed
munds or Garfield. These people are intelli-
gent persons, who do their own thinking,
have no axes to grind, and expect nothing
personally out of politics. Now, the ques-
ton is, shall we ignore this condition Of
things and say we believe we can squeeze
through" with Grant? We submit that it is
better before the convention meets, and be-
fore it is too late, to say frankly what we
believe; and then if Mr.. Conkling and MIR.
Cameron and MIR. Logan see fit to put the
party screws to the convention, they cannot
say that they had not fair warning of what
might happen afterwards.

The Golos, of St. Petersburg, relates the
following tragic incident; "a peasant OF the
village of Olshany, province of Kharkott, on
his return from the market while counting his
money, was called out of the room, leaving
some bank notes on the table. His little son,
four years old, began to play with the pretty
pictures, and when the father returned ne
found only small pieces left. In bis rage ne
threw the boy violently upon the floor. AZ
this moment his wife entered the room with
her baby in her arms; letting the babe fall,
she snatched the boy and fed from the house
With him, but found no trace of life In him
In despair she returned to the house and be-
held new horror-her babe was liteless
corpse floating in the tub of water where It
had fallen from her arms Overwhelmed
by misery, the father committed suicide by
hanging himself"

Truth.

When Plate asked the question, What is Truth
Earth's mghtest Seer and Teacher answered not
Could he not answer, whose ethereal thought
Confounded doctors in his callow youth?
Grea; men have toiled and dreamed through many
year,
And writ great tones, the mystery to explain
Thick on The track of history they appear.
And prove how vain the thought, the toll how valn
On the great problem still mankind divide,
And have divided, through each passing age;
Philosopher and prophet, saint aud cage
All, all, have failed the question to decide.
Transcendent st ascends the imperial throne
Where perfect truth abides with God alone.

A TERRIBLE STORM.
Hundreds OF Houses Demolished
or Destroyed.
MANY VESSELS WRECKED AND SEW.
ERAL LIVES LOST

NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug 21.-A speal dis
patch to the Times from Corpus Christi gives
an account of the storm ON the lower Texas
coast and in Mexico. Matamoras looks as
though it had been bombarded, brick buildings
being torn out of long blocks. 1t is estimated
that 800 houses were wrecked, either demol
ished or unroofed, and whole stocks of goods
were destroyed. Loss estimated at $500, 000
Brownsville is in but little better condition
AT Point Isabel and Brazos the storm was
most disastrous. In Brownsville Latimer's
machine shop and adjoining building are in
ruins, the streets full of debris, houses wrecked
and trees and fences blown down. The infan-
try barracks are badly shattered and considera-
BILE damage was done to the officers quarters.
Twenty-eight horses and seven mules belong
ing to the Government were killed, the artil-
lery barracks unroofed and the cavalry stables
blown flat. The convent was unroofed and
the fence blown down. The tug Ethel and
the steamboats, John Scott and George Brown
were sunk. AT Point isabel the Petute was
wrecked, and the schooner Julia Millett blown
ashore. The Bravo went to pieces, and the
pilot boat Ada is missing. The quarantine
station and old lighthouse at Brazos are gone
The French bark Maria Theresa went to pieces
and the schooner Laura Lewis was beached.
The steamer Sellers was sunk at her wharf and
three of her crew are reported lost. A num-
Der of small boats were also sunk, and it is re-
ported that several Mexicans were drowned
The wharf at BraZos was demolished, and the
railroad badly damaged. The total loss by the
storm in this section is estimated at more than
81 100000. Many families lost everything and
a subscription for their relief has been started.
Galveston News specials estimate the dam
age by the STERN as follows:-In Matamoras,
$500, 600; Brownsville, $3.50, 700, garrison $780,
0O0): Point Isabel and shipping, 100000.

MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 23.

party Not to speak of Mr.. Tilden, who as the
the great defrauded" was entitled to the first
consideration, there were Thurman, Bayard,
and Hendricks, who for years have been the
leaders of the party in Congress and on the
stump. But they were all ignored because the
convention did not dare nominate a represen-
tative Democrat 1t was known that if either
of these men were put IN nomination, the Re
publicans would flood the country with ex-
tracts from their public utterances, and that
their defeat would certainly follow. 1t was
impossible to find prominent leader who was
strong enough 10 stand against his own record,
and SO a candidate was taken who had no ex-
perience of public affairs and consequently
had no record as a Democrat.
The Republicans on the other hand selected
for a candidate man known of all men as one
of the great leaders of his party; man who
had made his way to the very front rank of
craftsmanship by his own genius and ability;
whose voice has been heard with no uncertain
sound upon all the great questions which have
required consideration during and since the
war. His speeches are to be found in fifty vol
umes OF the Congressional Record open to the
world, and yet there has been no attempt by
the Democratic press to use them to show his
unftness for an office which should have for
its occupant man, of broad craftsmanship
The strength of General Garield's nomina-
ton is shown in the fact that the Democratic
press and orators make no attempt to criticise
his conrse on any of theiquestions which he has
so ably discussed During his twenty years of
public life, in the army and in Congress, his
record will stand the most critical inspection.
He has been always on the right side. After
rakiLg over the whole record of his life, from
the fatherless boy earning his own living on
the tow path of the canal, to United States
Senator elect and the presidential candidate of
the noblest party the republic has ever seen,
TIE scavengers of the Democratic press can
find nothing against him, except an exploded
scandal which is absurd on its face, and which
their own best men, men like Thurman and
Hendricks, refuse to countenance.

not satisfied with this. what will satisfy her?
The Southern States have had full and COM
plete recognition. They enjoy the same rep
resentation, and have the same political and
civil rights of their sisters of the Union. What
more do they want? What more does Judge
Davis want?
If he means that in order to pacify the
South the people of the North shall stitle their
political convictions, surrender their indepen-
dence in political action, and give over the
Government to the direction of the men who
fought to destroy it, as will surely happen if
Hancock is elected, then he will find great
multitude in these Northern States who = i'll
not agree to pacification on such terms. They
believe that the war for the preservation of
the Union was morally and politically right
They believe the Government of the United
States is the supreme government, they believe
in the political and civil equality guaranteed
to every citizen of the republic, white or black,
by the amendments to the Constitution and
they propose to fight it out on that line until
there is a full and frank recognition of that
equality in every State in the Union. IT paci-
fcation can not be had on these conditions, SO
much the worse for those who make resistance.
Judge Davis may be perfectly assured that
those who fought to put down the rebellion
will never rest until there is universal ac-
acknowledgement in these United States OF all
the conditions imposed upon the States and
people thereof as peaceful conclusion OF the

More Pacification.
[Cincinnati Commercial

The poEderous Judge Davis wants ''paciica-
ton" in the country, and for that reason he
prefers Hancock to Garfield 1t is pertinent
to inquire upon what terms pacifcation can
be had. The present administration has done
all in its power to pacify the South, going even
to extremes to mitigate the asperities of the
Southern situation. The troops were prompt
ly withdrawn from South Carolina and Louis
lana, and the Southern States left very much
to themselves to do what they pleased. Home
rule has been undisturbed. If the South is
