John KElLYs SPEECH TO TAMMANY.

John Kelly's speech at the meeting
ofthe Tammany Hall Committee OF Or
ganization, Saturday night, will remove
all doubts of his position in the Presi-
dental fight and determine, decisively
and finally, the question As to whether
the Democracy OF New York City are to
be thoroughly united and harmonious
in the present contest. The Republi-
cans, hoping that Tanimany and anti
Tammany would stand aloof from each
other on the one hand, and trusting in
their proficiency in the beautiful art OF
importing voters, and the silent but
powerful argument OF ten dollar bill,
on the other, have proclaimed far and
wide their ability to sweep the Empire
State from her moorings and secure for
Garfield the much-needed aid OF her
thirty. five electoral votes. How surely
they are doomed to disappointment in
their great expectations the following
will show:

A SUDDEN TUMBLE IN MERCURY.

The storm of wind and snow which
swept over the Northwestern States and
Canada, on Saturday, was unquestion-
ably one of the most severe ever known
in that home OF the frost king. Tele-
grams from many points in Iowa, Mich
igan, Minnesota, Dakota ami Canada,
received at Chicago, tell frightful tale.
Passenger and freight trains on many
of the lines OF railroad are b,ockaded by
gigantic drifts OF snow, houses, barns
and fences have been demolished, the
telegraph lines are down in all direc-
tions, ami many horses, cattle, &c, per-
ished. On the lakes the storm was un-
precedentedly severe, many vessels
being disabled and driven ashore, and
one large steamer. the Alpeua, Of the
Goodrich line, running from Chicago to
Grand Haven, Mich. is supposed 10 be
lost with all on board. Her passengers
and crew are variously estimated at
from forty to seventy in number.

GENERAL GARFIELD ELECTED.

The returns of the Presidential election
received up to the hour of going to press
fully justify the conclusion that General
Garfield is elected President of the United
States by vote SO large as to leave no
room for complications Its indications
are that be has received all the New Eng
land and Middle States. New York, Ohio,
Indiana, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Massashu-
sets, Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut,
and quite probably New Jersey
has succumbed to the tidal wave.
The New York Herald estimates that
General Garfield will have POP electoral
votes. On the Pacific coast the PROBABLE
ity is that the Democrats gain nothing but
Nevada, if they have that State. In short,
the election has been in the nature of a
