The rain come down in torrent**, and the wind blew very hard. Many of the children at the public schools became frightened and ran home. A quantity of limbs blow off the lower part of the city. The storm was much harder on the Ala bama side than in this city. Several fences ami one or two old houses blew down in Marshall. One old woman became doubtful of the security of her dwelling, and sought shelter under the roof of a kind neighbor. Wo are happy to state that her tenement withstood the rage of the elements.

M FITTING t>F RELIEF ASSOCIATION Great Entfcnaluom. There was a full and enthusiastic meet ing of the Committed of Relief yesterday afternoon, at the residence of Mr. fl. 8. Estes. On motion of Dr. Flewellen, Hon. John Peabody was elected temporary chairman, and made some elegant and practical re marks touching the object of tho Associa tion. After which, Dr. Flewellen was call ed upon to develop tho plan of relief, which he did to the edification of his intelligent Board of Relief. At the closo of his ad dress, Hon. A. M. Allen followed in his upuql strain of eloquence, endorsing the plan, and pledging his heart and means in Its support. Mrs. Murdoch, McAllister, Estes, Prescott, Mcllhenny and Woodruff, endorsed the establishment of a Relief As sociation, and In tones of Christian charity delighted all present, and fired the hearts of the gentlemen to a lively and active par ticipation in the relief of the distressed. On motion of Dr. Flewellen the society was styled the “Columbus Relief Associa tion,” and Hon. John Mcllhenny was de clared President; Mr. N. N. Curtis Treasu rer, and C. E. Dexter Secretary. On motion of A. M. Brannon a commit tee of two ladies and one gentleman were appointed to take the registry by blocks, running from east to west, of such persons as needed assistance, and to solicit monthly contributions from all the fami lies upon whom they called, and that the ladies be empowered to select a gentleman to attend them in making said registry. Whereupon the Chairman appointed in the First Block of the First Ward Mrs. Murdoch and Mrs. John Mehaffey. Second Block Mrs. Prescott and Mrs. Chapman. Third Block Mrs. Perry, Rooney and Gibson.

We learned from Troy, Ala., yesterday, that a United States Marshal had been playing the mischief in that city. His ravages upon the peace and quiet of the town were caused by a most trifling inci dent. Tho provocation was as much as the government officials usually require to display their ferocity and love of using power for the oppression of honest men. It seems that a traveling peddler who sold brass jewelry came from Montgom ery to vend his wares in Troy. There is a city tax on such traders. This follow did not pay his tax and still continued to traffic, in the town. Ho refused to pay it when a de mand was made upon him. Some of “the boys” thought this chap’s impudence ra ther insulting, and resolv**! to tease him a little. One night, in a spirit of frolic, they commenced some practical jok**s on him. The fellow t*>ok the matter in a se rious light, and the manner in which he disappeared ovor the distant landscape is described asa most touching sight. Not h ing more was thought of this little affair, and it was considered as ridding the city of si nuisance. On Wednesday, a Deputy Marshal nam ed J. D. Williford, came down from Mont gomery, armed with all tho royal power of such gentlemen, and arrayed in the full paraphernalia of office. It soon became evident that he hud made his appearance to act as tho avenger of the scared trinket seller. Boon he began to seize citizens on charge of Ku-kluxism, and ore long he had quite a retinue of them. Tho town mar shal, two or throe aldermen, the county solicitor, and several other local officers, together with many other respectable cit tizons were numbered among the victims. Yesterday he carried all these gentlemen to Montgomery, where they will be com pelled to answer for their awful crime. Tho state of affairs In Alabama is getting to bo lovely indeed. When a petty satrap, who is unworthy of executing any law, is empowered to pounce down on a commu nity, seize its most respectable citizens and drag them away from home, because some little swindler has been scared out of his wits, the country and its rulers must be deplorably corrupt. Wo believe we would prefer little Phil, with histyanny, to these petty creatures of the Government . If we must have oppression, let it wear epau lettes, plumes, large spurs, ooekades, and other adornments, and bo respectable in appearance. The idea of being arrest**! by any little Deputy Marshal is disgusting in the extreme. We are glad that old fashioned tar aud feathers, ami the swift, but just retributions of Ku-kluxism have ceased to bo common, but we must say that we would heartily rejoice if these ter rible engines of destruction would goto work and operate just long enough to put nine-tenths of the United States Deputy Marshals safe in that “bourne whence no traveler has returned.” Those wishing a bargain in Table Dam ask, Napkins, Towels, Ac., will do well to call at fobl4 d&wtf J.

Blew York Financial Chronicle. We have before us the last number of tills Important publication. As usual, it is 1111**1 with valuable Information and sta tistics. It shows tho total cotton receipts for the week ending February 19, to have reached 96,950 against 103,461 bales last week, and 108,152 th*3 week previous, nnd 115,700 bales three wocks since. This makes tho total receipts since September 1,1874, amount to 2,836,183 bales against 2,943,619 for same period of 1873-74, showing a do orcase slnco September 1, 1874, of 107,486 bales. Exports for the week ending Feb ruary 19, were 83,553 bales, of which 61,777 wore to Great Britain, 8,451 to France, and j 13,325 to the rest of the continent, while the stocks as made up are 835,219 bales. Telegrams from Now Orleans show that, besides the above exports, tho amount of cotton on shipboard and engaged for ship ment at that port is as follows: For Liv erpool 59,000 bales, Havre 39,000, continent 43,000, coastwise ports 5,000 —total 148,500 bales; which, if deducted from the stock, would leave 144.500 bales representing the quantity at the landings and in press** unsold or awaiting orders. From the foregoing statement it will be seen that, compared with the correspond ing week of last season, there is a decrease in.the exports of 13,886 bales; while the stocks now are 3,219 bales more than they were a year ago. There has been a feverish and unsettled market for cotton the past week, anew element having appeared to influence the course of prices. We refer to the fluctua tions in the rate of exchange on London. The opening was weak, and on Monday quotations were reduced %c.; but on the advance in gold, which took place Tues day, there was a recovery of tone; at the same time, however, there came a smart decline in exchange, checking speculation, and on Wednesday tin* market was ‘lull and weak, till after ’Change, when some improvement in exchange, together with an advance in gold, caused an active busi- j ness for export and speculation. Foreign advices, as a general thing, had little in fluence; but some falling off in receipts has added strength to the market. For future delivery the market has been vari able, showing most weakness on Wednes day, under the check to the advance in gold and the depression in exchange, which caused an abandonment, for the moment, of the hopes of securing a rise in cotton based on a higher gold premium.

Hummer lias come. Early yesterday morning it rained heav ily, and there was considerable thunder. Shakespeare says, “To have a slow tongue is woman’s chief virtue.” This is a truth which Is woefully unappreciated by the female sex. The “modest violet” now blooms abun dantly, and the “giant oak” Is taking its last yawn in Winter's sloop. Our Mayor’s, courts are becoming aemi occasional occurrences. Tho passion for ton pins and billiards ! has about died the death in this city. Kansas is the champion tar and feather state of tho Union. Puns are detestable, yet wo know some people who are constantly trying to tinker them out of the commonest words. Some ancient sage rejoiced that ho had a name which could not be punned on, while an other seriously proposed to make punning a serious offence against tho law. The present Winter is said by many old Inhabitants to be the mildest ever known in these parts. Who says the ark didn’t float down the Chattahoochee? Confinement in the guard-house is not so bad after all. It must be rather roman tic to talk to one’s friends on the outside and experience the poetic fooling of “so near, yet so far.” The children of Ht. Paul Church have a cake cutting and a nice littlo entertain ment at the residence of Mr. J. If. Hamil ton this afternoon. Card playing is greatly In vogue in Co lumbus. There are very gentle whispers of an amateur dramatic entertainment which will come off in the latter part of March. A masque ball is the event towards which the expectations of the young folks ! now look. It will probably bike place im- j mediately after Lent. We have received a letter from a young j man who signs his name “Th 00.,” in which j he asks “whether it is proper for a young 1 man to visit a young lady and remain at-j ter twelve o’clock, under any eireum- j stances?” Generally, such conduct shows ! a shameful disregard for the lady’s feel ings; but when a man truly means busi ness, we cannot blame him for a visit of! any length. Old Father Time ought to stop in his course and look on in admira tion. It is the opinion of several tine dramatic j critics that the talent on the stage is on : the decrease. We must soon look for a | new school and a consequent revival of interest in the stage, ami an increase of talent in the profession.

Few are aware of the common expres sion “Oh, the dickens!” It was originated by him who said nothing that was not original. It is to be found in the following sentence in the “Merry Wives of Wind sor,” Act 111, “1 cannot tell what the dick ens his name is.” An Alabama man doses his evidence in his own Suit for a divorce by saying, “I don’t want to say anything against this woman, Judge, but I wish you could live with her a while.” The modern stylo of parting from young ladles may justly be called “much adieu about nothing.” Low shirts are pretty, but we don’t like to see a man with his collar four inches below his breast bone. A Kansas man bought a revolver for his wife, ami insisted on target practice, so that she could defend herself in his ab sence. After the bullet was dug out of his leg, and the cow buried, he said she had better shoot with an axe. That Atlanta man who wrote such a naughty little novel one rainy day, and called it “Charley Ross,” and who is now threatened with a 510,000 suit by the mother of the lost child, has the head ache. The fashionable youth Is now arrayed in “peg top” pants, single-breasted vest, and a coat which dangles about his knees.
