During the trial OF President LinColn's
aBsassins the editor OF the Herald was de-
tailed, with sixty-ave men Of the Oh W.
Va. Cavalry, to report to Gen. Hartranft.
These men were divided up into squads Of
four or five, and assigned the duty Of
guarding the members Of the military
court, then trying Mrs. Suirat and others.
This esCoIt to aud from the court room
was thought necessary on account oil the
many threatening letters received by the
members OF that court,
"A certain corpora, with four men, was
ordered TO report at General HancoCk's
headquarters, in Washington city. When
the corporal entered the Generals pres
ence be was surrounded by number Of
officers, and upon bis making his report,
Gen. Hancock ordered him to take a seat,
and pointing 10 the door Of an inner room,
said:
"When Gen. Holt comes out Of that
room, follow and guard him wherever he
goes"
About three hours attsrward, when the
crowd Of officers had left the Generals
presence, he turned round, and seeing the,
corporal sitting there grim 90 death, he
shouted at him:
"What the hi are you doing there"
waiting for Gen. Holt, Bir," Baluting.
"Gen. Holt left here two yours ago." re-
piled Hancock.
"Beg your pardon. General no General
officer has left that room since | have been
"Why, Gen. Holt is in citisen's clothes"
"Ihat may be, General; but there are q

Corporal.
The General laughed good.naturedly,
and told him to return next day and he
would point out Gen. Holt, who was at

Mr.. Frank Hurd, Of the Toledo District
ia surprised, not to say shocked by his
treatment at the hands OF a Democratic
commlttee Of the Democratic House Of
Representatives. Up to the last moment
he was confident OF a report giving MIN
the seat. His greatest desire was to have
the report held back, fearing that MS gam

nave been honest in the House Of Rspre'
seutatiyes, that will bs something about
which honest men will not quarrel.
The result will hardly help Mr. Hurd
anywhere, for he made the contest on the
mere strength Of Democratic majority III
The House. Romeis DEBATED him by SO
votes in a poll Of S5,lS3, Hnd the Demo-
crats Of the district knew that their man
was beaten. Men Of bis own party tried
IN dis,uade Hurd from L contest, but Hnrd
wasn't to be dissuaded. Now that.the COM
mit,ee has turned him down he blanes 1t
all on the Democratic protectIonists oil the
committee ,.leavtng no margin for honesty
in his own party. The free traders in the
House desire Hurd's help, for he Is strong
on that side, but it is improbable that this
consideration will induce them to over
rule tho report Of their own committee
backed by the evidence.
A glance at the recent votes for Con-
press Of the counties comprising the Tenth
(Toledo) District vii be interesting in con-
uection with this case. Tho district was
not composed as now until the election oil
1882, but we give the vote In four Con-
gressional elections Of the counties which
now make the district. We are unable to
give the scattering vote In the elections
prior to 1882, because in the records at
hand the scattering vote Is not given by
counties, but for the whole district. The
Greenback vote disappeared as an essen

In each Of these years Hhrd was his
party's nominee, and in the last two
presidential elections he was defeated,
once in tho old district and once in the
new. The significant fact is that though
the district was made to DO soIldIy and
certainly Democratic it has been carried,
and 1t is reasonable to suppose that with
good work 1t can be carried this year,
though the "oG.years" in this district are
better for the Democracy.
It Is thought that Hurd cannot secure
the nomination again. The district has
every reason not tic electafreo trader. We
should rather like to see him try his hand
once more against RomeiS, who has
shown the qualities Of good campaigner.

An APPALLING Rain STORM
THE WIND BUSHES AT THE RATE
OF 100 MILES AN HOUR.
Seven Hundred Houses Blown Down
and Thousands OF Persons Rem.
dered Homeless.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, September 2S.-Ad-
vices from the southwest coat Of
Texss, particularly in the region Of
the mouth Of the Rio GIande and
from interior point, give accounts Of
a great Iain storm AID much destruc
ton of property during the past week.
From the 2lst tn the 23d tremendous
rain storm and hurricane swept over
the vicinity of Brownsville, Tex, in.
Guiding Matamorss. Twenty.six inches
CT rain fell up to the night OF the 23d,
and the wind is said to have reached
a velocity of nearly 100 miles
per hour. Over 200 houses in
Brownsville were blown down and a
large number damaged, rendering
homeless some 800 families. Ia Mata-
moras over 300 houses were leveled
and many injured. The entire rear
part Of the city, embracing over thirty
blocks, was flooded to the depth OF
from three to eight feet, and the
people living there were rescued
only with the greatest difficulty.
ALI telegraph lines were blown
down, and the Rio Grande aud
the Matamorss and Monterey
railroads vera washed out and traffic
has not yet been restored. All the
surrounding country was inundated,
many houses blown down and crops
destroyed. There is great suffering in
both Ma'amoras and Brownsville. In
the latter plac, fully $50 families are
homeless, and in the former fifty fam
lilies are homeless and in want. Rs
lief MEASURES have been adopted and
large amounts of food and money have
been raised and is bsiDg distributed.
At Point Isabel the quarantine
station YVES swept away and other dam
age done. A four masted steamer was
wrecked fifty miles south OF the
mouth of the Rio Grande and is
said to be to,al loss. Her name is
unknown, but she is thought to have
been an English vessel. Her captain
and crew We're saved.
At Colorado, Tex, the river has
risen twenty. five feet, and at last &C.
counts was still rising. All tributary
creeks are overlooking, and large Sec
tions of country are submerged. Very
heavy rains have fallen in other sec
tione, and much apprehension is felt
for the safety of property.

but especially Of the workingmen, re-.
elect Mr.. 7. V. Powderly to the presi.
dency of the organization which he
has dignifed by his conservatism. He
is a man Of ability, a statesman, a
shrewd and careful guide, who, by his
conduct during the trying times of the
last strike gave evidence OF his WORTH

workingmen. Mr.. Powderly has the
confidence of the bu mess men, as we
feel sure he hes OF his fellow workmen

Of this country have pursued towards
