TIimtSOAT, JULY 30, 1874.
To Business Men.
We respectfully call attention to the
value of the Savannah Mousing Sews as
an advertising medium. Its circulation
is GBEATKB THAN THAT OF ANT PAFEB FOB-
T.ISUED in the State, und in Southern
Georgia and throughout Florida, it «
tuaUy enjoys a monopoly, thus offer
ing to our merchants who derive
their business from those sections the
best means of reaching their customers.
A business man wants something more
than seeing his advertisement in print,
he wants ctbcttlation to waitk it. fat.
Those who wish, to make their business
known should avail themselves of our
columns. Our prices for advertising will
compare favorably with those of any
first class newspaper in the country.
The Democratic Meeting To-Night.
The meeting to-night at the theatre
should be attended by every Democrat,
every conservative citizen who feels an
interest in the welfare of the common
wealth, and who desires the perpetuation
of honest government, Federal, State and
Municipal.
The purpose of the meeting is to or
ganize for the approaching elections
which are to decide whether we are to be
represented in Congress and in the State
Legislature by able, trustworthy men, de
voted to the interests and honor of our
city, State and country, or by those reck
less alike of everything but the emolu
ments of office, which they seek to ob
tain by arraying the ignorance and preju
dice of the community against its virtue
and intelligence.
In such a contest every good citizen
should not only feel th9 deepest interest,
but should recognize the patriotic duty
which devolves upon him to take an ac
tive part.
The right of self-government carries
with it the duty of self-government. In
better dayK the right was a privilege
which we might neglect. Not so now.
It will not do for the good citizen now to
leave political matters to other hands.
-The public safety demands that every
true man shall make his influence be felt
in support of the cause of order and
iionest government.
It is of the highest importance that
the action of the meeting to-night shall
bo such as to insure perfect harmony.ond
inspire confidence in the success of the
Democratic and Conservative party at
the approaching elections. To insure
this, let every good Democrat and Con
servative be present and take an active
part in the proceedings.
Leather and Iron.—It is a fact not
generally known that the value of the-
leather product of the United States is
greater than the value of the iron pro
duct. The following statistics will be of
interest: During the year 1870 there
Were in the United States 4,237 tanneries
and 3,082 currying establishments, em
ploying 30,811 men, and using 255,350
cords of bark. A capital of $55,024,290
was invested in the business, and the
aggregate sum of $12,088,430 was paid
as wages to workmen. The value of the
product exceeded $280,000,000, while the
value of the iron business was less than
$100,00(^000, of the cotton manufactures
less than $178,000,000, of woolen goods
less than $208,000,000. To a greater ex
tent than most other articles, leather,
when worn out, is an absolute loss, as it
cannot then be utilized to any great ex
tent. Iron and most of the other articles
above mentioned, when worn out, are
utilized and perform important functions
in the economy of uses.
:e, says
Cincinnati Enquirer, that Mr. Tilton’s
statement was sworn to before a magis
trate, and that Mr. Beecher’s and Mrs.
Tilton’s lack that little formality.
As for the matter of that a clergyman’s
word should be. as good as his oath. Be
sides,brotherBeecher, notwithstanding hip
violation of the seventh commandment,
may be punctilious in his observance of the
admonition“Swear not at alL” Be that
as it may, one thing is certain, and that
is that this Beecher-Tilton business hae
already developed more hypocrisy, decep
tion, misrepresentation, suppression of
the truth and downright lying than would
damn a dozen Plymouth churches.
The St. Louis Dispatch insists that
Edwin M. Stanton committed suicide. It
says that a barber was shaving him, in
his private apartment, and laid down the
razor to procure some water, when Stan
ton seized it and quickly c ut his own
throat from ear to ear; that only a very
few persons were permitted to see his re
mains, and. the arrangements for hip
burial were conducted quietly and ex
peditiously. The Dispatch says that he
had been in so despondent a mood for a
week previous to this that aberration of
mind was feared.
The New York press nearly all take
the side of Henry Ward Beecher, undei
the impression that he is one of the in
stitutions of that city, whose suppression
would be a great injury to it. Outside
of New York there is little or no differ
ence of opinion expressed, and that is
against him. In this, says the Cincin
nati Enquirer, as in other questions of
late years, the press of New- York is
antagonistieal to the people of the
country.

The Now Orleans Bulletin of Sunday
states, on the authority of a gentleman
from the locality, that five negroes were
hung at Yermilioiiville, La., a few days
ago, for breaking into a store at night,
knocking down an old man and choking
a woman in charge, and then robbing the
store. A vigilance committee took their
case in hand, and the courts will not be
vexed with it.
What the small boyr of Massachusetts
develops into may be inferred by the fact
that of the last eight convicts placed in
the Massachusetts State prison, not one
was over twenty-one years of age. The
Courier-Journal thinks that at this rale
of criminal growth the old Bay State may
be relied upon to keep the country in
rascality until the less favored States can
approach her boasted altitude.
Hon. Ben Hill on Another. New De
parture.
A wandering Bohemian from the West,
who has recently been prospecting round
in Atlanta, ^ives the Cincinnati Commer
cial a long report'of interviews which he
professes to have had with Hon B. H.
TTill and Governor Smith. Mr. Hill is
reported to have assured his interlocutor
that all General Grant “has to do to win
the support of the South for a third term,
or a fourth term, or any number of terms,
is to continue his new line of policy to
wards ns. He can lift us out of the slough
of despond or consign tur to the lowest
depth of the gulf of despair. We are
powerless to resist the one, but we are
able to reward the other.”
“You may,” says Mr. Hill, “talk of the
two-term principle, of the example of
Washington, of the usages of the Repub
lic, but what do men - in our condition
care for that? Not two straws. If Grant
will help us, that is all we want to know.
He shall have our support not only for
three terms, but for four. We will not
trouble ourselves about the traditions of
the Republic, nor what gnch a course will
lead to. It cannot lead to anything worse
than our present condition. Come mon
archy or come what will, we in the South
will certainly be the gainers, for any sort
of change will be for the better for us.
No, sir; if Grant will be our President as'
much as the President of the North, we
are for him, regardless of all customs or
future consequences.”
Gov. Smith is made to give the inter
viewer similar assurances. He is repre
sented as saying: “You may have no
ticed a change of late in Grant’s conduct
towards the South. We certainly have
noticed it. We catch at such things very
quick down here. We believe that he
has changed his policy towards us, and
that hereafter we shall have justice at his
hands. If he should carry out his good
intentions toward the South, and save us
from the calamities of the civil rights bill,
he would have the everlasting thanks and
esteem of the Southern people. He would
become more popular in this section than
you have any idea of. As for a third
term, that is something that the Southern
people have no objection to whatever,.
because it is a third term. For the prin
ciple itself, in our condition, we care
nothing. Graver concerns engage .our
attention. We have no time or disposi
tion to discuss abstract theories, or hag
gle over what is called the customs of the
Republic. If Grant will do the fair thing
by the South; if he. will give us simple
justice, we are for him for a third term or
a fourth term. We care nothing about
the number of terms, but everything
about the man.”
Now, while we are not much surprised
to find Mi. Hill striltiDg out for another
“new departure”—it is about time that ho
should be on a new political tack—we
must confess that we are a little aston
ished at the utterances attributed to Gov
ernor Smith. We agree with him that if
Gen. Grant should save us from the
calamities of the' civil rights hill he
would deserve, “the everlasting thanks
and esteem of the Southern peo
ple.” But it does not follow that the
Democracy of Georgia would stultify
themselves by Supporting him for a third
term. Nor can we agree with Governor
Smith that the people of Georgia have no
objection to the proposed innovation;
that they “care nothing for the principle”
involved in such' a departure from the
time-honored usage of the Republic,
and that they “care nothing about the
number of terms, but everything about
the man.” Perpetual power is a high
price for official integrity, and one that
the Democracy of Georgia are not yet
prepared to pay.
But it is possible that the wandering
Bohemian has done injustice to both
Mr. Hill and Governor Smith. It would
not be the first instance in which gentle
men have been grossly misrepresented by
professional mouth- pickers who not un-
frequently avail themselves of the oppor
tunity afforded by an interview to create
a sensation by attributing to prominent
politicians sentiments .and opinions which
they do not entertain.' As we have said,
it would be no very great matter of sur
prise if Mr. Hill were to lead off in the
third term movement in Georgia. He
is generally in advance or behind his co-
temporaries in his statesmanship; but he
is so given to crotchets, and the public
are so used to his .vagaries, that neither
at home nor abroad would his opinions
be regarded as an indication of the pre
vailing sentiment of the people, certainly
not of the Democracy of Georgia. The
case is different with Governor Smith,
whose official position not less than his
dence and firmness- of character,-gives
weight and influence to his opinions. It
will be observed that he is made to en
dorse not only the leading idea, but al
most the words of MrrHffl. We are not
prepared to believe ' this. Governor
Smith, like the great majority of the
white people of Georgia, may hold the ob
jections to a third term of Grant as light
in comparison to the untold evils that
would result from an attempt by the
Federal Government, in other hands, to
enforce the odious provisions of the civil
rights bill;'but we cannot think that he
would in the name of the Southern peo
ple make such a bid for the favor of Gen.
Grant, who, if he is to retain power per
petually, must retain* with it his present
personal and political associates, and re
main, os heretofore, the head of the
Radical party. Governor Smith sure
ly cannot believe that such an aban
donment of principle, such shameless
inconsistency, such truckling stultifica
tion is calculated to inspire the respect
and conciliate the good will of the con
servative white men of the Norih and
West, who oppose the civU rights bill,
who are in favor of white supremacy in.
the government, and who will never con
sent to" the utter degradation of the
Southern States contemplated by that in
famous measure. Even if we were dis
posed to make such a bargain with Gen.
Grant, it is not in his power to guarantee
the performance of his part of the con
tract: While the forms of Republican
Government exists we must look to our
white fellow-citizens, the people of the
Union, for rescue, right and justice.
Gen. Grant will have it in hiw power,
should the civil rights hill he pressed to
its passage by Congress, to win not only
the lasting gratitude of the Southern peo
ple, but the respect and admiration of
the true men of his race throughout the
Union, by striking down the infamous
measure with his veto. But it would be a
poor return for such a signal act of
patriotic magnanimity, justice and right,
to place him in a position which would
forfeit his claim to rank with the great
and good men whoso honored example
he would be the first to disregard.
State Ejections.—Gn Monday of next
week Kentucky holds some local elections.
On Tuesday Tennessee elects a Legisla
ture and local officers. On Thursday
North Carolina elects Congressmen and a
Legislature. In the last named State the
canvass has been spirited, and the result
will no doubt indicate which way the po
litical current has been setting in the
South since 1872. North Carolina gave
Grant a considerable majority in 1872,
and elected a Radical Governor, but a
Democratic Legislature that year.
German Emigration.
It has been remarked that,, this year,
while the number of emigrants from Ger
many to country was increasing from
month to month and from week to week,
there has been a counter stream of emi
grants hack to the old country. A corre
spondent of the Chicago Stoats-Zeitung,
writing from Rastadt, under date of June
29 th, undertakes to account for this sin
gular phenomenon. Many, he thinks,
are led back to Germany by the notion
that there, at present, they will find bet
ter men and a better condition of bosi-
'ness than in this country. . This is
characterized as a sentimental illu
sion. It is supposed by many that
Germany, since the last war, is a kind
of paradise. It is thought that the
political revolution which has been ac
complished -in Germany hag led to a
corresponding revolution . in German
views, ideas and manners. The corres
pondent of the Staats-Zeitung warns all
who have left Germany for this country
in search of a home, and now think of
returning, that this is a great mistake,
and that they would be sure to find the
place only such as it was when they left
it Those who did not find the principles
of the German Constitution to their
taste some years ago, will not be any
better pleased with them aA they are at
present The poorest classes in America
are rich compared with the poorest classes
in Germany. If the outlook here is
dreary, there it is more dreary. If the
chances of improving one’s condition are
small here at any given time, there they are
much smaller. Wages are not as high. The
cost of living is increasing. So much forthe
material side of the question. Bat, says
our informant, if one is lookmj; for lib
erty, it would be a gross error, to sup
pose one could find it in Germany where
military rule obtains. It is felt that
France and the U1 tramontanes have been
made the excuse for depriving Germany
of a great many privileges. Many feel
that the general legislation introduced
against the church will be continued; and
that a precedent is established for farther
interference with personal liberty-. The
correspondent of the Btaatz-Zeitung may
state some good grounds for the return
of Germans to the Fatherland. He omits
one of the principal—the panic last fall,
which brought so many enterprises to a
stand still and necessitated the discharge
of so many laborers.
It is singular that Mr. Beecher, in all
his letters to Tilton, narrating bis dis
tress of mind in consequence of a great
injury he bod done him, should never
once have made allusion to what he now
says was the cause, viz: Advice to Mrs.
Tilton to procure a divorce from her hus
band. That is undoubtedly an after
thought, and a poor one at that, to which
few will attach any credit. No one would
wish he was dead, or say he was suffering
the tortures of the damned, because for
sooth he might have honestly given
wrong advice on a divorce question. In
deed, if Beecher was from his own inti
mate relations with Tilton, Woodhull and
the rest of the free-love circle, so thor
oughly assured of Tilton’s infidelity and
brutal disregard of his marital obliga
tions, as he now professes to have been,
hi; need have felt no compunctions of
conscience for having, as the pastor
mid friend of Mrs. Tilton, advised a sepa
ration. Instead of such a heartrending'
apology his reply to Tilton’s resentment
should have been a reiteration of his
advice. According to Beecher’s explana
tion he deserves commendation rather
than censure, and his apology is entirely
disproportionate to his offense.
A correspondent of the St. Louis
Republican thinks that Boss Shepherd is
more sinned against than sinning, and
gives as to understand, that the Boss
could unfold some astonishing tales if he
would. The political leeches of the
Republican party have hampered hi in and
caused him to err. The money that
slionld have been his to improve the
capital was spent before he came into
office, to carry elections in Maine, North
Carolina, Indiana,, and Pennsylvania, and
he has been made the scape-goat for the
iniquities of others. But he adopted the
policy of silence, and the odium that
now attaches to him wifi never rest
where it belongs until he shall rise and
explain. It is possible, remarks the
Courier-Journal that Grant’s efforts in
his behalf may have been inspired by a
rude sense of justice instead of an asinine
determination to force him upon the
District.
The Shale-Pox in England.—Cable
news from London reports a genuine
epidemic of small-pox in a thickly popu
lated quarter of London. Over sixty cases
are reported in New Market, near Lon
don, on one of the leading railroad lines
passing into that city. At New Market
are the famous roeing~'grounds of the
Jockey Club, where thousands of people
go twice a year to witness the trial of
speed. So rapidly is the disease spread
ing that an application has been made
for permission to convert the grand stand
at the racecourse into a hospital. It must
be a great exigency which demands such
a Radical measure.
Colonization in South Carolina.—
According to the South Carolina papers
the colonization of cSouth Carolina by
the foreign element continues, and daring
the past year the Palmetto State Immi
gration Agency has settled several hun
dred families. On Friday last another
colony of forty English, Scotch and
Germans arrived in the State. The colo
nists are chiefly mechanics and agricul
tural hands, and enter the State with suf
ficient means to-begin life. Other large
parties are being collected in England
and Scotland to follow these, and from
present appearances these people will in
time take the place of colored labor.
Secret ary Bristow and the Secret
Service.—A Washington letter says: As
a result of the investigation of the Dis
trict safe burglary, Mr. Wilson, Solicitor
of the Treasury, recommended that the
secret service division of the Treasury
Department be- abolished, and that the
duties now performed by them be vested
in the United States District Attorneys
and United States Marshals. Secretary
Bristow, who is not favorably inclined to
the secret service system as at present
conducted, gave serious thought to the
proposed change, bnt after mote mature
consideration he concluded that it could
not he done. Under the law the appro
priation for the secret service is to be
disbursed by the Secretary of the Treasu
ry. ' If the duties were transferred to the
District Attorneys and Marshals they
would be trader the control of the De
partment of Justico. It is'very certain,
however, that Mr. Bristow will make a
sweeping change in the present force,
and get rid of the men who have prosti
tuted their positions for selfish" and un
lawful ends.
The Republican party has been forced
to acknowledge the dishonesty of almost
every department of the Government,
and now the officials of the Treasury
Department, after a searching investiga
tion, have come to the conclusion that
the secret service corps is corrupt.
Why should Mrs. Tilton entreat her
husband to conceal her sin- from her
father lest it should bring his gray hairs
to the grave, if her sin were merely the
obscuration of her love. for her husband
and not criminal intercourse with Beech
er ?—Courier-Journal,
• The Brooklyn Martyrs.
There was a. day last week when the
American public, not yet, we trust, de
bauched, had to look upon a sorry sight.
It was the day when Tilton’s arraignment
of Beecher was published, and wo shall,
we suppose, have another when Beecher’s
final defense is made. This is very
hideous, bnt we assert,with emphasis,- the
fault is not with the press. With the
public interest actually, though morbidly,
excited, it would havq been suicide for
journalism to refuse to gratify it. The
Beecher-Tilton scandal was as ranch news
as Udderzook’s murder, with its ghastly
details, or the abduction of the child in
Germantown, and as news it had to bo
treated. It would be the height of in
justice if the popular judgment, to the
formation of which the press so large
ly contributes, were to be evaded be
cause the details of wrong-doing are
repulsive. It would be unjust to the in
nocent, and it would screen the guilty if
such a rule of reserve were to be prac
ticed. The responsibility for this viola
tion of delicacy lies much deeper. It
rests on the actors in these scenes of nas
tiness, and upon those who iby adulation
have forced the actors-on public attention.
One New York paper tells us that
Beecher’s fall, if fall there be, will be
“the fall of the greatest preacher since
Saint Paul,” and, by way of anticlimax,
that Booth’s murderous attack on poor
Mr. Lincoln is os naught compared to
Tilton’s fatal onslaught on the Plymouth
pastor. This is the extravagant language
—this the exaggeration of sympathy—
since the catastrophe. What it was
before, when Beecher was joking
and haranguing weekly to wondering
crowds, and Tilton was bedaubing him
with praise in those pestilent twins of
mischief—the Independent and the Gold
en Age—what it was before, it is need
less -to remind our readers; With Beecher
the whole clerical character was veiled in
a mist of pulpit rhetoric. He was no
longer the clergyman, the hnmble minis
tering priest, but the flashy orator of
Sunday and the editor of the day after.
Among the grounds of Tilton’s inculpa
tion it is that Beecher was not, unless ex
ceptionally, in the habit of visiting his
parishioners, and that Mrs. Tilton was
one of the exceptions. Everything about
Beecher was high pressure, and when
such an engine explodes it does more
mischief than common machines. How
then could the public be indifferent when
witnessing such a terrible' catastrophe ?
As to Tilton, he, too, had his prominence.
Here, in Baltimore, we cannot understand
the far-reaching influence which such a
man can exercise if he qnly knows how
to cater to the fanaticism of the hour.
The Independent was a great organ of
mischief. It was always swinging the
censer before Beecher’s nose, and playing
second to his furious blasts of anti-slavery
fanaticism. They were not exactly the
two kings of Brentford smelling at the
same nosegay, but Beecher was Tflburina
in white satin, and Tilton the confidante
in white martin. All this is manifest in
the papers which appear. to have been
executed. Was there ever such revolting
sentimental jargon as that of the tripar
tite agreement, where Bowen and Beecher
and Tilton weep in each other’s arms, and
agree never, never, never more to think
or speak Hi of each other? It is simply
disgusting. The other documents ore in
strange and revolting mixture of the ter
rible and the grotesque. They then, the
actors in these scenes of maudlin friend
ship and bitter antagonism, are responsi
ble for the violation of public decorum.
There is anotner aspect of the case
which is well worth a thought. It is
that mingling of spiritual devotion and
carnal love to which some women seem
prone, and which in the weaker sort of
religious devotees, inclined to what, in
the-jargon of the day, is called “passional
attraction,” finds its most dangerous il
lustration of preacher worship. One pa
per friendly to Mr. Beecher says he is in
the habit in receiving hundreds of love
letters from the ewes of his flock, - which
Mrs. Beecher, as a matter of precaution,
reads and expurgates. Mr. Beecher al
leges that it was for spiritual comfort
as a father confessor that Mrs. Til
ton came to him when Theo
dore wandered away; that he
counseled separation, and he would have
the world believe that for giving snch
counsel he has “suffered the torments of
the damned,” and wished that he were
dead. Tilton’s solution of tbe mysterious
relation between his wife and the pastor
is very different, and is far more in har
mony with his own dreadful story and
with Mr. Beecher’s letters. But even he
throws the glamor of religion and saintli
ness over the actual crime, which be con
doned because he thought it was an error
committed under insidious pastoral in
fluence. In short, the worst of the whole
of this wretched affair is its gross pro
fanation of .what is sacred.—Balt. Gaz.
Mr. Beecher’s Fortune.
Attention is naturally called to the
ministerial and literary fife of Mr. Beech
er, and to the probable profit of his
works. He came a young man and poor,
to Brooklyn more than twenty-five years
ago, and was glad to preach for a small
salary. He made Plymonth Church. It
is as much his production as is any child
of his brain. There -was a strong Con
gregational sentiment and feeling in
Brooklyn, and this naturally gathered
around the young and eloquent preacher.
He “shook” creeds and' forms.. He con
temned the trite ecclesiastical utter
ances which the qrdiuarv orthodox
pnlpit mouthed, and he set np
standards of his own. His was
emphatically a “broad church.” It be
lieved more in heaven than in hell. It
advocated freedom and temperanee, and
spread a table at .which widely discordant
views had equal hospitality. So as the
Church grew and Mr. Beecher became its
central figure, his salary went on pro
gressing until it now may bo. stated at
the sum of $25,000. He lectures fre
quently during the year, and at the high
est prices. Probably from this source he
earns not less than $10,000. '. His ordi
nary literary work should bring him in
$5,000, and out of his valuable news
paper, the Christian Union, he may draw
another $25,000. These sums aggregate
$05,000, to which may be added marriage
fees and the numberless perquisites that
fall in-the lap of the popular preacher. Mr.
Beecher’s works are the novel of “Nor
wood;” the “StarPapers,” for manyyears
enjoying an immense popularity; the
“Lectures to Young Men;” the “Yale
Lectures,” three volumes;” “Fruits, Flow
ers and Farming,” and “The Life of
Christ,” of which one volume has been
■published, and sold to the number of
50,000 copies. It would have sold more
largely had the second volume been sure
of publication within a reasonable period.
But Mr. Beecher sends his work out
by piece-meal, and cannot to hurried.
The second volume is two-thirds printed.
The rest abides the event. Mr. Beecher
was for years editor of the Independent,
on a large salary. He now writes books
for J- B. Ford & Co., edits their paper—
the Christian Union—and supples them
the sermons which are printed in the
“Plymonth Pulpit.” From all these
sources—the industry of a busy life—Mr.
Beecher ought to have made a fortune.
But Jxe {is ^reported to bo careless
.in money matters, and not sharp in look
ing after the profits of his works, which
go to his publishers. His writings are in
great demand.—Brooklyn Argus.
A Southern View of the Beecher
Scandal.—Surely never before was there
such a hotch-potch as is exhibited in this
Beecher-Tilton scandal. . In it are min
gled all manner of paradoxes and con
tradictions. Sentiment and coarseness,
virtue and vice, religion and free-love,
spirituality and beastliness, transcendent
alism and earthiness, rhapsody, cant,
sentimentalism—everything, indeed, that
is alluring or repulsive meet and mingle
in it. Perhaps no society on earth but
that of Plymouth Church could have gen
erated such a fragrant compound.—
Richmond ( Vd.1 Whig.
As long as our bonded debt exists, the
manner of its payment will always be in
order, and will constitute an open ques
tion-. The Congress of 1809, which as
sumed to close it, does not. If it had
any authority to pronounce authorita
tively what was meant by a previous Con
gress, then another Congress may give a
still different interpretation to it. What
one Congress can do another can undo.
There-is no such thing as finaliiy in or
dinary legislation. Let us repeal the law
of 18G9 and carry out the original con
tract between the bondholders and the
people.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
Beecher, Woodhull and Tilton made a
very pretty trio as representatives of tbe
peculiarities of Puritan piety; but Ben
Butler baa now entered the ring and we
may fairly challenge the world to produce
such another quarteite. Tho mess would
not have been complete unless Butler had
had a hand in it.—Cou,

THE GREAT FLOOD. —
Pittsburg, July 29.—Half of the thril
ling details of the great flood have not
yet been told. A. W. Cole, one of the
members of the firm of Chavaler & Co.,
whose glue works were entirely wrecked,
states fiat when the flood of waters be
gan to descend no "one had any idea that
the flood would reach the great propor
tions which it assumed. Cole, who,
during the storm, stood outside
of his dwelling, located just in
the rear of the MU at the upper end of
the glue works, says that the hill had the
appearance of immense sheets of water
as outlined on the opposite hill, when
lighted up by the continuous flashes of
lightning. When the great flood of wa
ter rushed down the ran; he likened the
sound produced to the roar of the Niagara
falls.
Cole described the incidents attending
the destruction of the dwelling occupied
by August Renkauf/and the drowning of
little Emma, aged three years, Mary
Renkauf aged one year, and the nurse
girl, Miss Nolting, aged fourteen years.
When the flood began Renkauf was visit
ing his brother on Spring Garden Ron.
Mrs. Renkauf went to her front door to
ascertain the extent of the flood, and,
upon opening it, the water rushed in in a
great volume, and was soon several feet
deep. A number of articles of furniture
were jammed up against the door leading
to the second story where the children
were. She found she was tmable to get
up the stair-case and then tried to get to
the rear of the house if possible to save
her sleeping ones by the up-stairs win
dow—she tried in vain to rouse them. As
she passed out of the front door, the side
facing Allegeany river fell out, carrying
her with it. She was swept down the
Run about a hundred yards, caught on
the top of some debris of the Glne
Works, clambered over this a distance
of fifty feet and had to wade from
that point to the shore dam, a dis-
stance of about twenty yards, in water
waist deep. Her calls for assistancewere
responded to by several men who hap--
pened in the vicinity and did what they
could in enabling her to reach the shore.
She is in delicate health, and the courage
she displayed was remarkable. During
the time she was being swept away, A.
W. Cole, with Ms brother Isaac, went
to the rear of the house by
means of a private lane leading
past it,' and by shouting' at the top of
their voices endeavored to-awaken the
children who were imprisoned- in the
upper . story of the dwelling. The roar
of the torrent drowned their voices, and
they were- unable to make themselves
heard. He then picked up clumps of
earth and threw them at fie windows,
but just then the house was swept away
and disappeared in the flood, and the
three children were crushed to death in
its crumblingruins. Their mangled bodies
were found about ISO yards below.
ILLINOIS DRMOOBACY MOVING.
Chicago, June 29.—The Democratic
State. Convention met to-day and issued
the following call:
The Democratic State Central Commit
tee, in pursuance of the powers vested in
it by the Democratic State Convention,
hereby give notice that the State Con
vention will be held in Springfield on
Wednesday, August 23, 1874, at 12
o’clock m. All voters in the State are
invited to join in sending delegates to
that Convention who desire to promote
the following purposes :
First. The restoration of'golcl and silver
as the basis of the currency of the coun
try, "the speedy resumption of specie pay
ment and the payments of all National
indebtedness in money recognized by the
civilized world.
Second. Free commerce.
Third. Individual liberty and opposi
tion to grants of lands to railroads.
Fourth. The rigid restriction of gov
ernments, both State and national, to the
legitimate domains of political po wer » by
excluding them" from all executive and
legislative intermeddling with the affairs
of society, whereby monopolies are fos
tered, political classes aggrandized, and
individual freedom unnecessarily and op
pressively restrained.
Fifth. The right and duty of the State
to protect its citizens from extortion and
unjust discrimination by chartered mo
nopolies.
The committee, believing that an op
position to Republican misrule can har
moniously unite upon the foregoing prin
ciples, earnestly solieites the free co-oper
ation of all men, regardless of past politi
cal affiliation in all earnest efforts to place
tho State and National 'Governments
in the hands of men who are actuated by
the principles above enumerated.
The call is signed by the committee
and endorsed by a number of men who
have formerly acted with the Iii iKiblican
party, among whom are A. Clie-.-ing and
Herman Roster, of tho StaoU-Zeitung.

Sunday Sermons.—We' are irresistibly
reminded by the drawing of this feverish
week to its close that the two reverend
gentlemen of Brooklyn, who figure con
spicuously in the terrible revelations now I
going on, belong to a school of preachers
whose habit it is to preach on fie events
of the'day. . Twenty odd years ago, Mr.
Beecher introduced this fashion, by tak
ing for his Sunday text the arrest of a
fugitive slave, John Brown, bleeding
Rn-ngfis, or a Sharpe’s rifle. His pupil
Tilton followed his example, and thus
the whole school of clergymen, who af
fected topics of the day preaching,
grew np. They have now a topic
which will eall for all their elo
quence, wit, learning, sarcasm and
invective. It is not the arrest
of a fugitive slave, nor the firing on Fort
Sumter, nor the robberies of Tweed, nor
the Chicago fire, nor the assassination of
a president. It is something worse than
either of these, or all of them pat to
gether. It is the sudden prostration of
the two idols of a political religionism
amid accessories of indescribable crime,
shame and woe—a phenomenon more
fearful and startling'than any other that
this generation has yielded—if, indeed,
there has been anything like it since the
monstrous excesses of the Roman empire.
Will the clerical school we refer to, com
posed almost entirely of Mr. Beecher’s
pupils and imitators, preach on this text
to-morrow?—St Louis Republican.
The Virginians declare that they want
neither political adventurers nor carpet
baggers among them. Settlers intending
honestly to make their homes among
'them and help to build np the waste
places they want, earnestly desire, and
will receive with open arms. So say the
people of every other Southern State.

' Schenck’s Sea Weed T; life.
In the atmosphere experienced hero during the
summer months, the lethargy produced by the
heat takes away the desire for wholesome food,
and frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy,
particularly those suffering from the effects of de
bilitating diseases. In order to keep a natural
healthful activity of the system, we most resort
to artificial means. For this purpose Schenck’s
Sba Weed Tonic .is very effecluiL A few doses
will create an appetite and give fresh vigor to the
enervated body. For dyspepsia, it is invaluable.
Many eminent physicians have doubted wither
dyspepsia can be permanently cured bythe drugs
which are generally employed for that pur;»ose.
The Sea Weed Tonic in its nature is totally differ
ent from snch drugs. It contains no corrosive
minerals or acids; in fact it assists the regular
perations of nature, and supplies her deficien
cies. The tonic in its nature so much resembles
the gastric juice that it is almost identical with
that fluid. The gastric juice is the natural solvent
which, in a healthy condition of the body, causes
the food to be digested; and when this, juice is*
not excreted in sufficient quantities, indigestion,
with all its distressifag symptoms, follows. The
Sea Weed Tonic performs the duty of the gastric
ice when the latter is deficient. Schenck’s Sea
eed Tonic sold by all druggists. ,. .
