a storm which passed over there yesterday.
IL made a path about 100 yards wide, and
destruction marks its entire course. For
tunately IL did not pass through the thlckly

roots. Cows. horses. and other domestic

The SPRINGFIELD Repu1Noan. in discussing

The Springfield Republican. in discussing
the Observation-Disclosures contcsted-election

before the Supreme Court as follows:
1.-THE unseatinc Of John O. Pendieton, Of
the First con eressional district of West Nir-
giuia. and the admission of G.. ". Atkin-
son. his Republican antagonist, viii afford
the Democrats the first opportunity Of the
season TO test the constitutionaNty Of
Speaker Reeds plan of counting quorum.

1G2 to 0. This Is less than a majority OF the

made up for review Of the Reed rule Of
voting. Tho uuseated member, Mr.. Pen
dletOn, can institute mandlmus or quo tcGr-
rala0 proceedings in the lOwor courts, and
the defeated party can carry the question
to the Supreme Court BENCH
There is a diversity Of opinions as to
whether or not the case could be gotten
before the courts. Nevertheless, it is to be
counted good sign that such papers as
our Springfield contemporary are giving
prominence to Speaker REEDS arbitrary
methods.

GOVERNOR PENSOYER.


Some republican newspaper says thai
the unanimity with which democratic pa.
Pers in the state urge the rensmination of
Governor Pennoyer partakes of The nature
of man worship. From what we have
observed, there Is no less man worship
back Of this demand for bis nominaiion
than ever attended the nomination Of any
man for that Office. his his /ffSle0 in tie
mast csmfyehensf0e sense fePeytovm EritlLfInlly
and uell aHthe duties Of fhe office thatinspires
this almost unanimous demand from dem
ocratic papers and democratic voters, (as
well as many republican voters,) for his
denomination. While the Governor is not
a man remarkable abil.ty,he has proven
himself 10 be abundantiy provided with
just those qualities that are necessary to
administer the affairs of state according to
The best interests Of all concerned. lie is
not, neither in his nature coul1 he be, the
ool Of any clique, clan,or corporation. lie
Is fearless and courageous in the dischar ge
of every duty. As was shown Ia the
case Of the Portland water bill, he would
.ever consent TO tacrifce the public veal
for Inc benefit of a locality, even though
his owa personal and pecuniary interests
were closely interviewer with the interests
Of the locality in question. That bill was
ono that would test the official integrity
and fearIessness Of any man. Ii was
dangerous precedent 10 establish. The
Governor saw ihe danger. The demand
came from city that gave him large
majority when he was elected, though
largely adverse to him in party politics.
Every consideration, other than that Of
public dutycalled upoh him for an arProv-
al OF the BILL Duty to the whole state
demanded its veto. Did the Governor
hslt long at al between two opinions? He
sought to end his duty TO the common
wealth, and finding It, performed that duty
with iron courage and under threatning
protests from hundreds of those who had
assisted in promoting him to the exec
utive chair 1t is matter Of no little con-
sequence TO have man Of stern courage
al the helm Of state, There Is no term Of
that Office Turing which one or more oc-
casions do not arise that demand brave
and fearless consideration. The people
Of al classes, and especially those who are
not connected with, or dependent upon
large inoncyed corporations, have observed
tt,..... a.I,,,fr,l,la qualities IN fhe Governor
