The GAZETTE on Saturday alluded to
what northern people say Of those ex-Con-
federates who have left their kith and kin
and joined the South hatera. What they do
with them has been shown in many re-
cent instances. There was a contest be
tween q republican ex Confederate and
northern OK Union soldier for the office OF
collector of internal revenue for the Peters
burg district in this State. The place was
given to the latter. There were contests
between negroes and ex Confederate repub'
licans for the customs collectorships at
Beaufort and Galveston. Both places were
given to the former. Nothing but local
offices have been given by the present adj
minstration to southern republicans, and
in almost every case where an ex Confed-
crate republican has contested for those
places with negro or northern man, ne
has been defeated. Northern, accept the
aid OF southern republicans, but it ia not
strange that they should neither respect nor
honor them.

ASHLAND, Wis. July 29.-rhe ssVerest
storm ever known here struck the city Sat
urday afternoon. 1t came In the shape of a
towering cloud that seemed TO burst over
the city, accompanied by terrific wind
which filed the air with all kinds Of loose
matter. Trees were torn up aud twisted

ts foundation and wrecked. The superior
Lumber Co.'S refuse burner was blown
down. Nearly two hundred thousand feet
of lumber was blown off the dock into the

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July ga heavy wind
and rain storm struck the city about 4:3O
o'clock yesterday afternoon and continued

the rainfall tremendous, while hall as large
as hickory nuts fell. 1t was the most de.
structive storm o! the year and the loss to

CHICAGO, July 29.-The storm Of Satul-
day night was even more severe than had
been supposed. The unprecedented rain
fall the high winds and the incesssnt light

ALEXANDRIA.
MONDAY EVENING, JULY 80.

1T HAS long been supposed that coal
miners strikes are melted and promoted by
the owners OF the coal mines. The fact
that an extensive strike Is announced on the
lst prox. in the Pennsylvania mines tends to
corroborate this superstition. A large guam.
tity of coal has been mined and ia ready for
market, and the winter is approaching.
With cessation of production, the price OF
coal will naturally rise. The profits of the
rise will go into the pockets of the mine
owners. But out of whose pockets will they
come? Do the strikers ever think of this.
There are ninety niue poor, to every one
rich man. poor man requires as much
coal as a rich one indeed more. for his
clothing is not SO soft and warm. The poor
people of the country, therefore, are the
real sufferers by the coal, as they are by all
other sorts of strikes, for they compose the
vast body of consumers, and to them the In
creased price of necessary, naturally
caused by suspension in the production
thereof ia great deal, while it is a matter
of no consequence to the rich.
