DOINGS AT THE EAST.

HEAVY rains in the country tributary TO
the Susquehanna River, in Pennsylvania,
have caused one of the most disastrous
foods ever seen III that section. Along
Driftwood and Sangamono Creeks thou-
sands of logs owned 10y mills were broken
from their fastenings and were swept down
the swollen streams at terrific speed. 1t is
said the loss to lumbernen will approach
$4,000, 900. Bridges have been washed
away from over small streams, and travel
on public roads rendered impossible. The
cities along the Susquehanna and Lehigh
Rivers were flooded, causing Immense dam
age to property. No lives have been lost as
far as reported.
A PIRE at Philadelphia damaged the
building No. 7l5 SAMSON street to the ex-
tent Of $4,000. The attic was occupied by
VIM. Harding and family, one OF which, a
boy 4 years old, was asleep and was burned
to crisp, and his mother was badly burned
in attempting his rescue.
SECRETARY MANNING has designated
Assistant Register Fish and several other
Treasury officials as a board to prepare o
detailed history of all expenditures by the
Government for interest, premium and dis
count, and other expenses incurred in con-
nection with the National loans since 1886.
THE ST. James Hotel, at Batavia, n. ",
was destroyed by fire. Many boarders and
guests barely escaped with their lives.
Three employees were injured by jumping

The late cold wave covered an enormous

area between the Rocky Mountains and
from Manitoba to the Gulf Of Mexico. The
cold wave was remarkable for It's combina-
tion of extreme cold with u high velocity OF
wind. Its effects are noteworthy in the ex-
traordinary depressing temperature in the
Gulf States. From the orange groves of
Florida to the cotton fields of Southern
Texas there have been killing frosts and
severe freezing. Such frigid eccentricity
could not occur without doing much dam
age in the Southern States. The damage
throughout the country in the interruption

and in injury to stock interests, is, in the
aggregate, very large.

The Lansing State Republican speaks
good words in favor of the nomination of
Major MINOR S. NEWELL as the republican
candidate for governor. Among other
things, it says, He has always been farmer.
He does not own dollar invested in anything
but his farm, on which he lives, which he
works himself with his own hands. lie is a
soldier Of two wars-the war with Mexico
and the war for the Union-in each of which
no earned by hard and faithful service an
excellent record. He has all his life been
workingman-a workingman at hard manual
labor-a hired man for Others for years at
the hardest kind of labor His character Is
of the highest His requirements and abili-
ties are good. His location is of the best.
His record is singularly excellent, and it is
brief, plain, and has no Objectionable points.
He is universally esteemed, and he is not
disiked by any faction or persons. He has
both the positive and the negative recon-
mendations for a popular candidate. Wher-
ever he appears his appearance will make
friends and votes, especially among the men
of toll. the soldiers and the farmers"

The Convention.

The call for republican county delegate
convention will be found in this paper. This
is the first step towards the opening of
the approaching political campaign. Now
let the several township committees
attend to their duties, and give ample
notice of the caucuses to be held in their
townships, and let the republicans attend
these primary meetings and select good.
representative ruen TO attend the convention.
Men are apt TO think that a convention for
the selection of delegates is of but little i'm
portance and frequently neglect the prima-
ries called for selecting such delegates. That is
not right. The township caucuses are where
the initiatory steps are taken for the nomi-
nation of state. congressional and senatorial
candidates, and are really of more impor
lance than the convention that dominates
county officers. The result of the next
election in the state, the political complex
ion of our next congressional delegation, may
and must depend largely on the care that is
exercised in the nomination of candidates.
and, in order that they may be judiciously
selected, men of judgment, men who will
reflect the wishes of the people, must be
chosen as delegates to the various different
conventions TO be held before the ticket
is completed. It behooves every republican
to be active and vgilant in the matter.
Therefore. there should be general attend
ance at the primaries and full, free, UNI
trammeled expression of the wishes of the
party. With ticket on which there shall
be no Objectionable candidates. and with the
thorough organization that should be had,
the conglomeration called fusion can be
easily subjected to a crushing defeat in this
county, district and state.

A National Disgrace.

TWENTY pension yetoes were all that Mr..
CLEVELAND could find time TO grind out on
the 9Th inst. II wasn't much of day for
vetoes. The president has constitutional
right to veto as many bills as he chooses.
and if he desires to curry favor with his late
confederate friends 10y singing out Union
soldiers as his victims he has that privilege.
Bat he has no right to use the position TO
which a mere chance has elevated him. a
position which be is in no wise worthy to
fill, for the purpose of casting slurs upon
and sneering at men, better men than he,
who fought 10 save their country-a thing
which he. himself, was very careful not to
do. For instance, in his message vetoing the
bill passed for the relief of ALFRED DENNY.

country. Such conduct is beneath contempt.
and when INDUCED in by the chief mapis.
trate of the Nation is shame and disgrace.
In its report to the House on this veto
message the pension committee uses this
language, "The sneer in the veto at the
wounds received by so many of our gallant
cavalry during their rides and furious
charges in the war indicates a state of mind
that incapacitates, at least temporarily, an
official from considering impartialy pen
sion claim. It would be well if the horns
of public indignation could be so applied
that our soldiers could get simple justice in
these times of peace" If this were the only

Mn. BURBows, while addressing the House
upon the subject of pension vetoes the other
day. said he thought the able and experienced
soldier who occupied the position of COM
mander-in-chief of the United States army
treated his old comrades in rather a shabby
manner. Perhaps there is nothing strange
about that If he had ever served in sub
ordinate position he could better appreciate
the situation, but as he enlisted for COM
mander-in-c chief only he does not, as q
matter of course, know much about the
rights of private soldiers.

declare that they will not support another
fusion campaign, while others insist that, as
one of the terms of the bargain, the demo-
Gratis must condemn the financial policy of
the administration. Others, more especially
those who have or who expect to have access
to the public crib, are for fusion ut any
price or on any terms. The democracy Is
not doing much talking but is keeping a
sharp lookout and will accept any terms the
greenbackers conclude to demand, even to a
resolution condemning the administration,
humiliating as that would be. Resolutions
are nothing-to democratic politicians-but
votes are everything, and votes they must
have at any price. There is little doubt
that fusion will be accomplished, and If the
greenbackers are stiff enough in the knees
they can obtain any terms they desire to ask
as far as the platform is concerned, only so
they let the democrats have q fair share OF
the nominations. The latter are ready at
any time to trade resolution for an Office.
