THE PRESIDENTS SOL
EMN PLEDGE.
Christmas Letter TO Mr..
Curtis, 1854.
j know that they abuses
IN the Civil Service are
deeply rooted, and that
the spoils system has been
supposed TO be Intimately
related TO success n the
maintenance OF party or
ganizatiOn, and i am not
sure that all those who
profess TO be the friends
of this reform will stand
firmly among It's advO-
Gates whom they find 1t
obstructing ther way to
patronage and place.
But fully approaching the
trust committed TO my
charge, no such cOnsidcra-
ton shall cause a rciaxa-
ton on my part of an
earnest effort TO enforce
this law.

yasne special from Havana, via Key West,
says: In some localities along the coast
during the recent hurricane entire fish
ing villages were swept away. At Sagua
100 corpses have been discovered which
were washed from graves, and it is be-
lieved that as many more are in the
mangrove bushes. Between Carahachas
and Carahats sixteen coasting schooners
are high and dry in the woods,
damaged to such an extent that
they will be total loss. Fish were
killed in vast numbers. Hundreds of
cattle were drowned in the river and
their carcasses now endanger the health
of the city. At Santo Domingo City the
dead exceed fifty and the injured over
seventy-fve. At Cayo Francis the light
house was blown down and the inmates
drowned, and two large unknown vessels
were wrecked. Of forty-six natives
known to have perished at Caribairin
but five bodies have been re-
covered. In the Vuelta Ariba and
Vuelta Abajo district the ruin is COM
plete. The cane fields were laid flat. 1t
is estimated that the sugar crop will fall
short of last years yield over 40 per
cent in Vuelta Abajo. The number of
dwellings, huts and outhouses blown
down in the district is estimated at $500,
and the loss at $1,500,000. The entire
fruit and vegetable crop is complete
loss. The total number of deaths
throughout the island is stated at 800.

many dead bodies are peing found; the
corn, rice and bean crops are a complete
failure. Rains continue falling through

Is There n CanflictP

EDITORS HERALD-It appears to me
that there is a conflict of authority in
volved in the provisions made in the
proposed new charter, for the filling O.
vacancies in the Board of Education. In
section 20 it is provided that the "Board
shall fill all vacancies occurring in that
body until the next general municipal
election" In section 1877 it is provided
that the Council shall, in all such cases
(vacancies), except in the case of a va
cancy in the Council, have power to fill
such vacancy until an election can be
held"
Now, suppose that for any reason, in
the course of successive administrations,
there should be conflict between the
Council and the Board of Education,
and the defeat of the Board of Education
or the contrary, depended upon the pow
er of filling a vacancy in the Board hap
pening at such an inconvenient time.
How would it be settled? Would the
provision Of Section 13, that the Council
is the ruling body, settle it in their
favor?
1t is little awkward, is it not? II
there is any power in the Legislature to
strike off unnecessary provisions, the
clause I have quoted from Sec
tion 20 ought to be stricken
out. If not, then what assurance
have we that the very conflict that l
have alluded to, will not arise? If it
should arise, how will it be settled? The
Council would undoubtedly insist upon
it's charter powers; so would the Board OF
Education. Is there any way out of this
dilemma?
1t seems strange that the Freeholders
should have made this blunder, after
having corrected similar blunder of the
former Board of Freeholders in reference
to another Board. Yours, &C.,

of those wears that have passed since the
close of the war, half left their marks
upon us and as we gather from year to
wear, we notice the signs OF advancing
age. and the roster of our dead is length
ened. We are glad to-day to be to-
gether, vet our gladness is sobered. AS
looked into these familiar faces, | notice
a deep sense of satisfaction, but l have
not failed to observe that there are tears
in many eyes. We are not moved to
tears by any sense of regret that we
gave some service to our country
and to it's flag, but only by the
sense that we are not all here and that
all who are here will never gather again
in meeting like this. We rejoice that
we are permitted to make some contri'
button to the glory and credit and per-
petuity of the Nation we love. We are
not here to exalt ourselves, but l cannot
omit to say that purer, truer self.conse-
Grafton to flag and country, was never
offered than by you and your dead COM
rades, who in 1862 mustered for the de-
fense of the Union. 1t was not in the
heydey of success, but it was
when returning from the Tennes-
see, Kirby Smith was coming
through Cumberland Gap and Mcclellan
had been defeated on the Peninsula-itI
seemed as if the frown of God was on
our cause-it was then in that hour of
distress that you pledged your hearts and
lives to your country. We are veterans,
and yet citizens, pledged, each according |
to his conscience and thought, to do that
which will best promote the glory of our
country and best conserve and set in |
our public measures those patriotic |
thoughts and purposes that took us into
the war.

GEN. Harrison at the Reunion of the
10th Reg fment.


CLAYTON, Ind, September 13.-The
fourteenth reunion of the Seventieth In
diana regiment was held here to-day.
Thousands of visitors were present from
Indianapolis, Terre Haute and neighbor-
ing towns. General Harrison and party
arrived at 10 O'Clock. At the depot 5000
people had assembled to welcome the
distinguished guest. General Harrison
walked to the grove, quarter of mile
distant, with 300 veterans of the Sew
entieth regiment. General Harrison
called the meeting to order and an
nounced the purpose of the reunion. Miss
Mary L. Mitchell was introduced and de-
liyered an eloquent address of welcome
to the veterans. When the applause
subsided, General Harrison spoke as
follows:
feel quite incompetent to discharge
the duty that now devolves upon me,
that of making suitable response to the
touching, cordial and sympathetic words
which YOU have addressed to us. We
thank you and the good citizens OF Clay
ton that you have opened your hearts SO
fully to us to-day. l am sure we have
not assembled under circumstances more
attractive than those that now surround
us. The mellow sunshine of this autumn
time that falls upon us, the balmy. air
which moves the leaves of those shadow
ing trees, the sweet, calm spell OF nature
that is over everything, makes the
day one OF those that may be desired,ln

half of this large representation, possibly
the largest that has assembled since the
close Of the war, gathered not only from
the adjacent counties, but from distan
homes beyond the Mississippi and Mis-
souri,, we give you to-day in return ou
most hearty thanks for your great kind

Triumphant Democracy.


Ex-Congressman Follet, of Cincinnati,
is in the city. He will speak at the DEM
ocratic rally in this city tomorrow night.
He has just come from his home in Ohio,
and brings most cheering news of the
campaign. He laughs at the attempt Of
the Republicans to crow over the elec-
tions in Vermont and Maine. In Indiana
he reports the Democracy as solid as a
wall of adamant, while mulitudes of Re-
publicans say they will not vote for Har-
rison. He is sure the State
nois the change of sentiment is
astonishing, and the movement among
the farmers is all to the Democratic
camp. Not since Lincoln and Douglass
canvassed the State has there been such
work done as is now going on under the
wise and energetic direction of General
Palmer. Mr.. Follet says that far from
winning back from us the doubtful
Northern States, he believes they are all
safely Democratic; while in the
Northwest the Republican party
will require long pull and strong pull
and pull altogether on the coat tails OF
the party to keep four or five States
which they have held since the outbreak
of the war from getting out of their
grasp. Even in Ohio Mr.. Follet says
they will have to be active or they will
receive rude awakening. The G. o. p.
in the Buckeye State is as lacking in
principle as it is elsewhere. 1t
passes Sunday closing laws to
please the strictly religious element
Of the party, and then it let's this end
fall into innocuous disuetude in order to
hold the liberal Germans in the party.
The result is that both of these elements
are now distrustful of the party, and
there will be large defections from both
sides. The Democrats gain both ways.

Myers-Needham twenty-round fight, for
the lightweight championship of the
Northwest and 81 900, was witnessed by
1000 people, most of whom paid So tor
the privilege. The fight opened with
cautious sparring, which predominated
throughout. There were no knock
downs or clean blows. The best fighting
was done in the eleventh round, when
Needham became groggy and Myers hit
him at will. The referee awarded
Myers the fight on points at the close of
the twentieth round. Neither man
showed severe punishment.
