' So much do we sympathize.with the
Radicals in their Perplexity over . Old
Thai's late spescli . favor of paying
the Five-TReffy Sends In GreenbaCks
that we have concluded to publish an
extract from a debate in Congress in
June of 1865. Mr. Stevens then defined
his views as follows :
Mr. Spalding—l desire to ask the gentle
man (Mr. Stevens) if, in his judgment, the
principal of the F 600,000,000 of five-twenty
bonds is payable in gold?
Mr. Stevens—lt is just as clear as any
is clear that the interest is payable in
gold, but the principal in lawful money.
Mr. Spaking—l ask the gentleman ir be
knows whether that is the opinion of the
bead of the Treasury . Department?
Mr. Stevens—Well, sir, I have not con
sulted him. I knoiethat a great many legal
gentlemen of distinction agree ulthrne in, the
opinion I have orpressed. I suppose I
should bow to the opinion of the Secretary
of the Treasury on the subject if I bad It,
and It was right, but I have it not.
Mr. Pruyn—l would like, with the per
mission of the gentleman from Pennsylva
nia, to ask the gentleman from Ohio (Mr.
Spalding,) whether be hue any information
If the Secretary of the Treasury has decided
that the principal of the Ilve-twenty bonds
was payable in gold?
Mr. Spalding—lf I may be permitted to
reply to the gentleman from New York, I
will say that I have this morning learned
Prom the Secretary of he Treasury that, in
his opinion, the principal of the live-twenty
bonds is payable in gold.
Mr. Stevens—Then, sir, his opinion is en
tirely different from the law. These bonds
are made payable in money by the express
terms of the law, and if legal tender notes are
money, then the bonds are payable in that.
But, sir, If both principal and interest are
payable in gold, then the difficulties in
which the Government is becoming in
volved are all this more aggravated.
Mr. Wilson—Was not the statement Just
now made by the gentleman from :Penn
sylvania based upon tile payment of these
live • twenties in gold?
Mr. Stevens—Up on the payment of the
interest In gold. Mete is no doubt that the
interest is payable in gold,
Mr. Wilson—l speule of the principal. I
understood the gentleman to say that there
were now about eight hundred million dol-
Inrs of the public debt payable In gold.
Mr. Stevens—No, sir; the Interest is pay
able in gold. I say that no man who is a
lawyer—and I could not say the Secretary of
the Treasury is not a lawyer—who will care
fully read the law can possibly come to any
other conclusion than that the principal of
these flue twenty bonds is payable in cur
rency. Tho law says expressly that the
interest Is payable In coin and that the
principal Is payable in money. The differ
ence in the terms employed is us distinct
and definite us If it had boon expressed In
so many words, that one is payable in coin
and the other In paper currency.
The Tribune on Ohl Thad
The New York Tribune is very severe
on Old Thud for his speech in Congress
favoring the payment of the debt in
greenbacks, and calls him the greatest
swindler that the world has ever known
for declaring that the poor man who is
paid his wages in paper money, should
not be taxed to pay gold to the rich man
for his bonds. Greeley shows the old
man the door of the Republican party
and unceremoniously orders him out,
bidding him to "stay not on the order
of his going, butgo at once." The Re
publican party Is reaping the reward of
its dishonesty In adopting a financial
plank in its Chicago platform, which
was purposely_ constructed to have two
faces on the greenback question; con
sequently the party is divided Into two
factions, each of which claims to be the
Simon Pure Republican article, and
reads the other outside of the pale of the
organization. The " bond " party call
the greenback advocates thieves, scoun
drels and swindlers, while—l/fie latter
retort by calling their opponents a
" bloated aristocracy " which seeks to
rob the poor man of his hard-earned
wages. A happy family, trul ! Her e
4, what the Tribune says:
That those who hated the War and de
plore Its Issue should seek ku swin Ile those
who lout the money winch insure its sue
coos, is deplorable., but not unman tl. That
• Mr. Stevens should be found in their com
pany is deptor able and very unnatural.
of 511 men, ought to be found on the side of
honesty and good faith ; for he drafted and
engineered the bills which dragged us into
the slough whence he seems determined
that we shall never be extricated. If he
should succeed in his present effort, no
swindler•that the world has known ever
perpetrated a fraud so gigantic as that he
meditates.
Mr. Stevens is a very old man, and for
gets many things. But this will not excuse
his defiance of his own recorded utterances.
In commending to the House and the coun
try the Legal Tender act, Mr. Stevenssaid
"A dollar in a tniser's safe, unproduc
tive, is a sore disturbance. Where could
they invest it 7 In United States loans of
six per Md.—redeemable. IN GOLD in 20
years—the best and most valuable perms•
neat investment that could be desired."
We might quote more to the same effect;
but need we? Here are Mr. Stevens' own
words, showing unmistakably that be
understood the contract just es we did and
do. He reported anti urged that the Green
backs should be made fundable in the Five-
Twenties ; and these Five-Twenties, he as
serted; were "redeemable in gold in twenty
years." That is all that need be said. We
quote Stevens to prove Stevens a fit ally
for the Pendletons, Bosses, and • Blairs,
whom he threatens to join, unless the Re
publican party can be made the accomplice
of the gigantic crime he meditates. That,
we can assure him, will never be. If he
wishes to swindle efficiently, let him join
the party to which swindling is natural—
that which will gratify by repudiation its
partisan malignity es Nvell us its Innate
rascality. Mr. Russ courteously opens the
doors of the Democratic church for his re
ception.. He says he will enter if the Re
publicans will not help him defraud the
National creditors. That,
we tell him, they
will never do. Let him, therefore,
" stay not on the order of hie going,
But go at once."
General Hancock.
It was announced and well under
stood in New York that General Han
cock would not consent to be nomi
nated for Vice President. The follow
ing letter was written to General Steed
man, and ali the friends of the gallant
soldier who was so strongly supported
for the Presidency will read it with
pleasure :
WASHINOTON, D. C., July 4, 151i8.
Gencrca J. Meal?'tan, Nero York :
Div Dnnu Sin: My relation to the Presi

But when I Witillinud commend of the Fifth

They wore generous enough to suppose
that, with my antecedents and surround

by an administration conducted rigidly on
the principles of tho Constitution, peace
pod prosperity could be recurred to the

it is, however, proper to may that I would
accept no position intended merely to do
me an honor, or in which It would not be
in my power to carry out the principles
which I have considered essential to the
preservation of the Government. You will

consider it toy duty to accept a nomination
for that office. Very truly yours,
. WINFIELD 5, HANCOCK.
THE Examiner thinks that Old Thad
has not got quite out of the Republican
party. To be sure he is all wrong on
the financial question, but the people
should continue the old man as their
representative for the good he hue done,
although he
,will not carry out their
views. It places a very low estimate
upon the Republican party in the coon•
ty, but probably an entirely correct one,
in supposing that they will want a man
who radically differs from them in opin
ion to continue to represent them in
Congress.
HortAcE GREE LY says of Thaddeus
Stevens:
s. No swindler that the world has known
ever perpetrated a fraud so gigantic as that
ho meditates."
As a Republican opinion of the hon
esty of the leader of the Republican
party that will do. Old Thad retorts
by calling the 'Tribune a "halt secession"
paper, and by declaring that a majority
-41
f the journals of that party are "in the
,',
ay of the, bondholders." The "Old
loninkoner" has a proper appreciation
of hatlitheptrlotlem:and the honesty
of Bentfoiatteivopaiers.

TheSpilghtly little city of Utica is just
now putttng on some 'airs and flattering
herself not a little at furnishing ti candidate
for the Presidency of these great United
States. Such an impetus Was never. efore
given to a place that has struggled so faith
fully and arduously for upwards of - half a
century for an existence. Already two new
lines of railroad are in progress, intended
to accommodate the great rush of people
anticipated to see the meat Democratic
President. One, the Utica, Clinton, and
Ilinghampton, is already in operation for
fifteen or twenty miles. The other, running
to intersect the Susquehanna road at or
near Colliersville,-18 in rapid progress, and
in operation about twenty-five miles. Then,
too, they have just opened a new, first-class
hotel, the Butterfield House, while the
time-honored Bagg's is undergoing a re
juvenation that causes its old patrons to
stare with wonder and amazement.
But after all Utica has no occasion for
making such a fuss over Horatio Seymour's
nomination. If any locality is to be cred
ited with honor on this score, Deerfield is
entitled to it all. Can New York justly
claim credit for Henry Ward Beecher? Or
can Brooklyn with justice call Fernando
Wood or Isaiah Rytiders her son? Prox
imity to greatness may be all very nice,
but it must be conceded that it is not just
the thing atter all. Deerfield is a very pop
ulous township in Oneida county, separated
from Utica on the south by the Mohawk
river. Its inhabitants are mainly indus
trious, thrifty farmers, attending strictly to
their own business, not given to claim that
which is not their own, and so imbued with
this honorable and Christian sentiment that
they have thus far failed to discern the rude
and unprincipled habits of the Uticans.
When they do discover it, look out for war
on the Mohawk. Deerfield against Utica!
Who owns Horatio Seymour? The Deer
fielders will get the best of it, or I'm no
prophet. They already have nine points of
the law—the possession, which gives them
a great advantage.
There is another view of the matter which
gives it more general importance. Horatio
Seymouu is just now posessod of a great
number of friends, and before the ides of
November will have a great many more,
all of whom are and will be anxious to see
him. Already the number seeking him to
profess their love for him is something re
markable. Now the Utica people have an
nounced that Mr. Seymour resides in their
city, and has his headquarters at the But
terfield House, all of which is a gross mis
representation, intended to mi•load pious
pilgrims. lam prepared to stale most ern
helically that since the adjournment of the
New York Convention Mr. Seymour has
been in Utica but once, and then only but
part of a day en ronle for his home in Deer
field. Therelore let It be widely published
that all who would seek Jinn must take
tickets for Deerfield.
"The Governor," as the Democratic nom
inee is familiarly known by all his friends
and neighbors—and that includes pretty
much everybody in this region—"the Gov
ernor" resides in a plain, unpretending
farm cottage, about two miles north of,and
overlooking the city of Utica. Something
in the outward appearance of the house,
though not exacly in the architecture,
something in the pastorial air that sur
rounds it, something in the approach to it,
and'" the view from the verandah. that
stretches along its trout—something there
is in all these features of the Governor's
inane that, while net affording particular
points of resemblance, inevitably call to
one's mind Mount Vernon. A snug little
farm of about three hundred and fifty acres
surrounding the rural retreat has been the
property of Mr. Seymour and his ancestors
for a half a century.
The house In welch the proprietor now
resides was built for a tenant of the farm,
and when, a few yours ago, Mr. Seymour
grew weary of law and sought privacy and
retirement, a few alterations and repairs
rendered the place amply imposing and
sufficiently accommodating for his own
wants and those of his family. A r 11( grove
of ancient trees surrounds the house, af
fording an inviting shade, while walks and
drives aro abundant without ma
terially encroaching upon the usefulness of
the soil. The house is furnished in keeping
with Its own outward appearance, its sur
roundings, end the well-known tastes and
character of its occupants. An air of re
lined comfort pervades the whole, Prom
the verandah a view is obtained well worth
a long journey to enjoy. Down the green
slope and across the rich meadows of the
Mohawk valley, all covered at this time
with tolling farmers hastening to secure the
overabundant crop of hay, taking in the
entire city of Utica and ell its surround
ings, stretching fur away up or down the
Mohawk, the view Is finally lost in the blue
distance far up the picturesque Chenango
valley, the opening to which is directly op
posite.
At the limo of my visit, this very anxi
ous aspirant for Presidential honors was
engaged In superintending his laborers in
securing the hay crop. I apologized for the
Inopportuneness of my call, and remarked
that I had supposed him to be n country
gentleman of leisure. lie simply smiled,
told the men not to cut any more grass, but
haul in what they had down, and Invited
me into the house. I made some essay at
my business, but ho insisted on my telling
hint the news. Like all regular journalists,
I protested that I knew nothing later than
appeared iu the Utica morning papers.
" Well, those are the only papers 1 get here,"
ho replied, " and those don't reach me till
evening." I told him all the news I could
remember, and remarked on the enthusi
asm with which his nomination had been
received. To this he replied that he didn't
see how people could got up enthusiasm in
such hot weather as this. He thought they
had betterpostponepolitice until it gotcooler.
Talking of the heat, I suggested that the
heated term commenced with the meeting
01 the Convention. "Yes " he said, "and
but for that I wouldn't have been In this
unfortunate predicament. I went to the
Convention on purpose to prevent my be
ing the candidate. I fought steadily against
it until the midnight before I was nomina
ted, and again, fifteen minutes before my
name was presented, I protested most em
phatically against its use. When they did
present it, theexcitement and the heat rued
till together completely upset me. Had 1
been as cool as now, I should have de
clined. I had planned out a little trip
abroad for myself; but this affair has
changed till my programme and unsettled
all my plans of life. I didn't want the of
fice. I wanted Chase nominated."
"Could Mr. Chase have been nomina •
led?" I asked.
" I thought BO then," he replied, " but I
have since learned to my satisfaction that
had my name not been sprung as it was,
Mr. Hendricks would have beau nominated
In two or three more ballots."
After HOMO more general conversation,
in which I didn't secure n promise of that
post office, because I did not nsk for it, I
took my leave. Mounts.
Eloquent Tribute to the Democratic
Party.
Major Thomas Ewing, of Kansas, in his
speech at the Cooper Institute, New York,
before the Soldiers' and Sailors' National
Convention, sold:
The Repub:ican party represents no prin
ciple for which we fought. We thought not
of negro suffrage, [applause and cries of
"No, no,"] or white disfranchisement, or
forcing on the Southern States unequal fel
lowship in the Union, [" Never, never,"]
of changing cur beneficlunt form of govern•
merit, ["Never, never."] Out of the five
hundred thousand Union • Soldiers, Demo
trots and Republicans, who sleeps on fields
washed by the waters of the Atlantic and
the Gulf, not one laid down his life for any
such end. Of the fifteen hundred thousand
of their surviving comrades, not ono will
say he would have risked his life for either
of these objectei And these measures of
the Republican party are not only the ob
feae of the war, but are so prosecuted Its to
defeat those objects and to inflict on the na
tion evils as great as those the war was
waged to prevent, [Shouts, "that's so."]
The Democratic party is now the only
party true to the Constitution and the Union
(Applause.) If we would accomplish the
purposes of our service and sucritice, it' WO
would save the Union and the Stales, their
liberties and laws, we must unite with the
Democracy. [Long continued applause.]
In the path in which the Democratic party
tread we see the footprints of Washington,
Jefferson, Adams, and all the heroes of the
Revolution ,• of Webster, Jackson, Clay,
Wright, and all the giants of the generation
Just gone before us;_ and whlielt keeps that
line of march, and bears the flag of the
Constitution entitl) Union, we can follow
it with pride and with unfulteringtrust.

I have carefully read the resolutions

dially concur in every principle and senti
ment they 81:11101:113CO.
My opinion upon all the questions which
discriminate the great contending parties
have been freely expressed on all suitable
occasions, and I. do not deem it necessary
at this time to reiterate them.
The issues upon which the contest turns
are clear and cannot be obscured or dis
torted by the sophistries of our adversaries.
They all resolve themaelyes into the old and
ever recurring struggle - Of a"few men to
absorb the political power of the nation.
This effort under every , conCeivable name
and disguise has always characterized the
opponents of the Democratic party, but
at no time has the attempt assumed
a phase so open and daring as in
this contest. The adversaries of free and
constitutional Government, in defiance of
the express language of the Constitution,
have erected a military despotism in ten of
the States of the Union, have taken from
the President the power vested in him by
the supreme law, and havedeprived the Su
preme Court of its jurisdiction. The right
of trial by jury, and the great writ of right,
the ,abeaa corpus—shields of safety for
every citizen, which have descended to us
from the earliest traditions of our aucestors,
and which our Revolutionary fathers sought
to secure to their posterity forever in the
fundamental charter of our liberties—have
been ruthlessly trampled under foot by the
fragment of a Congress; whole States and
communities of people of our race have been
attuinted, convicted, condemned, and de
prived of their lights as citizens, without
presentment or trial or witnesses, but
by Congressional enactment of cx
post facto laws, and In defiance of the con
stitutional prohibition, denying oven to a
full and loyal Congress the authority to pass
any bill of attainder or cx post facto law.
The same usurping authority has substitu
ted as electors in place of the men of our
own race, thus Illegally attaluted and dis
franchised, a host of Ignorant negroes who
are supported in 'ldleness with the public
money, and are combined together to strip
the white race of their birthright through
the management of Freedmen's bureaux
and emissaries of conspirators in other
Stales. And to complete the oppression,
the military power 01 the nation has been
placed at their disposal In order to make
this barbarism Supreme. The military
leader, under whose prestige this usurping
Congrois has taken refuge—since the con
demnation of their schemes—by the free
people of the North, in the elections of the
last year, and whom they have selected as
their candidate, to shield themselves from
the result of their own wickedness and
crone, has announced his acceptance of the
nomination, and his willingness to main
tain their usurpations over eight millions of
white people at the South, fixed to the
earth with his bayonets. Ile exclaims,
" Let us have peace !" " Peace reigns lu
Warsaw," was the announcement which
heralded the doom of the liberties of a na
tion. "The empire Is peace," exclaimed
Bonaparte when freedom and its defend
ers expired under the sharp edge of his
sword. The peace to which Grant Invites
us Is the peace of despotism and death.—
' Those who seek to restore the Constitu
tion by executing the will of the people
condemning the reconstruction acts, al•
ready pronounced in the elections of last
year (and which will, I um convinced, be
still more emphatically expressed by the
election of the Democratic candidate as
President of the United States) aro de
nounced as revolutionists by the partisans
of this vindictive Congress. Negro suffrage
(which the popular vote of New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan,
Connecticut, and other States has con
demned as expressly against the letter of
the Constitution) must stand, because their
Senators and Representatives have willed
it. It the people shall again condemn
these atrocious measures by the elec
tiou of the Democratic candidate for
President, they must not be disturbed!
Although decided to be unconstitutional by
the Supreme Court, and although the Pres
ident is sworn to maintain and support the
Constitution, the will of a fraction of a Con
gress, reinforced with its partisan emissa
ries sent to the South, and supported there
by the soldiery, must stand against the
will of the people and the decisions of the
Supreme Court and the solemn oath of the
President to maintain and support the
Constitution! It is revolutionary to
execute the will of the people! It is revo
lutionary to execute the judgment of the
Supreme Coum t It Is revolutionary in the
President to keep Inviolate his oath to sus
tain the Constitution! This false construc
tion of the vital principle of our Govern
ment is the last resort of those who would
have their arbitrary reconstruction sway
and supersede our time honored institu•
lions. The nation will say that the Consti
tution must be restored end the will of the
people again prevail. The appeal to the
peaceful ballot to attain this end is net war
—is not revolution. They make war and
revolution who attempt to arrest this quiet
mode of putting aside military despotism
and the usurpations of a fragment of Con •
cress asserting absolute power over that be
nign system of regulated liberty left us by
our fathers. This must be allowed to take its
coarse. THIS IS THE ONLY ROAD TO
PEACE. IT WILL COME WITH THE

A Warning to BadNal Betters.
The Harrisburg State Guard gives up
the fight and advises its readers not to
bet a cent on Grant and Colfax. It says:
Betting on elections is not only mean,but
It is Illegal. It is gambling, and is punish.
able as such . Men lose their votes who bet,
hence we advise all respectable men to ab
stain from thus violating the law. Let Re
publicans work instead of bet. Honest
work ; true, enthusiastic devotion to our
cause, evinces a nobler confidence in the
purity of our principles than all tho wagers

BALTIMORE, July 25, 1868.
The losses by the flood yesterday will
foot up several millions of dollars. The fol
lowing firms are among the sufferers; Read
& Co.'s tannery, $20,000; Denmead S. Son's
machine shop, $5,000; Armstrong it Co's
soap and candle manufactory, partially de
stroyed ' • Woods, Weeks & Co.'s sugar re
finery, $:30,000 ; Fisher Bros., importers,
lose $lO,OOO in sugar and molasses.,,Bent
lgy, Larrabee ctz. Co.'s Iron foundry gave
way and the west walls fell, causing a hea
vy loss. Many private houses were more
or less damaged ; also, Warlield St Co.'s
Monumental Flour Mills. A large quanti
ty of sugar and molasses on the docks was
washed away, and many wharves were de
stroyed. Nine bridges over Jone's Falls on
different streets were swept away.
At Ellicott city the destruction of life and
property was very great. About thirty
houses were swept away, some of them
containing whole families, who were car
ried with the current and drowned. Soy
eral bodies have been recovered to•day at
and near the Relay House.
The following are reported drowned at
Ellicott city: William Patterson, wife and
non; Mrs. Farren and her two children,
Fanny and Emma Duval; William Reese,
wife, sou and daughter; the family of Dr.
Owens, and a number of others, names not
given.
The losses on property at Ellicott city aro
as follows : Gambrill's lower Palermo flour
mill was entirely swept away, and the up
per mill partially destroyed Tho granite
cotton mill of Ben. Deford, which cost 8100,-
000, Is a total ruin. Gray's large cotton fac
tory was also much damaged. The Union
Company's cotton mill, half a.mile above
Ellicott city, was badly damaged, and much
cotton lost. The stores of George C. Brad
ley and Joseph H. Leyster, with all their
goods, were swept away. The Avallon
marl and Iron works, near the Relay House,
wore destroyed. Several days must elapse
before an accurate estimate of the losses can
be made.
The loss of life In Baltimore city is not
positively known to exceed four—only that
number of bodies being yet found—but
there is no doubt some were swept into the
river.
ELLICOTT CITY, July 2.5, 1868.—The de
struction caused by the flood yesterday to
this town Is far greateit than it has been on
any previous occasion—greater than was
represented in the accounts drat published,
end even greater than the residents them
selves believed until the light of to-day
gave them an opportunity to take a fuller
account of the losses.
About half-past nine o'clock yesterday
morning the alarm was given that the Pa
tapsco river was rapidly rising. By ten
o'clock the river had swollen to such an
extent as to create general alarm to those
persons who were absent from their homes,
who hastened thither to save what they
could of their property, and everywhere
people who dwelt close to the banks of the
river were seen making preparations to
guard against the impending inundation.
Never before had the flood descended so
rapidly or risen to so great a height at this
place. The river rose forty feet above its
ordinary level, and it had reached nearly
ton feet before a drop of rain fell In this
neigh borhood.
Skirting along the rivers back on the
Baltimore and Wheeling turnpike, stood a
row of large stone houses. The occupants
were frequently warned of the dangerous
appearance of the freshet, but, trusting to
their former experience, they chose to re
main yet a little longer, thinking there
would be time to escape when the worst
came. Within a few minutes the flood rose
so rapidly that all communication was cut
off and the current rushed so swiftly that it
was found impossible to render them any
aid.
At this time the water had only reached
above the lower story of the houses and no
danger was apprehended if the occupants
could reach the root. This they at once!
proceeded to do, but the water still rose
higher and higher and sped on its frightful '
course with immense velocity, and to add
to the terrors of the hour huge masses of
drift rubbish came rushing upon the ,
doomed awellings.
The family of Dr. T. B. Owings, consist
ing of Mrs. Owings, six children and three
servants, had gathered in the third story of
their dwelling when the house, which was
frame, was lifted from its foundations 'and
carried across the street against a stone'
house occupied by a Mr. Fountain. Mrs.
Owings and her children clambered upon
the roof of Fountain's house, where they
thought they would be sate. A few mo
ments after this Dr. Owings, who had re
turned from visiting a patient, arrived at
the river bank, and was just in time to be
hold the crumbling away of the house and
the death of his wife and children, who
sunk amid the wreck, holding their hands
towards him vainly imploring his help.
The side wall of Mr. Partridge's house
felt and exposed to the spectators about
fifteen persons, who had sought refuge
there, all standing in a group. This scene
was beheld fora moment or two, when the
house fell with a crash Into the boiling
surge, carrying with it every soul.
Every effort was made by the citizens to
rescue those who were in peril, and quite a
number were saved; but owing to the
speedy work made by the flood in Its fear
ful velocity, many perished within a dozen
yards of the shore.
The whole of the lower part of the town
was flooded, and to-day presents a deplor
able spectacle—goods washed out of stores
into the streets, and furnithre out of houses,
all lying in tangled heaps, with here and
there trees, logs, stones and the debris of
houses and bridges. The principal hotel,
the Patapsco House,
is filled to overflowing
with the houseless citizens who escaped the
I flood. Every mill on the river is destroyed,
end every bridge is washed away.
The track of the Baltintot e and Ohio Rail
road has sunk In several places.
Parties of citizens have been engaged all
day along the river in dragging for the
bodies of victims, and thus far but eight
I have been recovered. Thirty-seven per-
I eons are known to have been drowned, end
' six others are missing. The names of those
lost aro as follows:
Mrs, T. 13, Owings, six children and three
servants. William Patterson, his wife and
five children. William Partridge, his wife
and niece. Mrs. Furrow and two nieces,
Mr. Mat, McCauley, cloth inspector at
Granite Mill. John Reese and Carrie Reese,
his daughter. Mr. Murphy wife and child.
The body of Mr, Murphy still lies below the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bridge, im
bedded among the iron rods of the bridge.
Mr. Josppli Steel. Mr. Fountain, wife and
deughthr, and Mr. Snyder.
Those bodies which were recovered wore
found to be Mrs. Patterson, Mr. Fountain,
Mr. Reese, one child not yet identified, one
child of Mrs. Patterson, Mr. Gabriel and
John Murphy.
Forty three houses and mills have been
destroyed in the town and between it and
the Relay House ; one old stone house,
which was left unharmed by the flood while
all those around it were carried away, wee
built in the year 1702. The old Inhabi
tants say that the water rose yesterday fif
teen feet higher than it ever reached before.
The loss in Elicott City is estimated at
over a million dollars.
BALTImoItE, July 27.—Thousands of per
sons are still at work repairing damages
and c' caring away debris caused by the re
cent flood. The Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road is seriously damaged all the way to
Frederick, and the cars will not be able to
run there for several days. A train was
submerged near Ellicott City, and the laas
seugers were obliged to escape to the bills.
No trains on the Northern Central are run
ning yet this side of Cockeysville.
Benjamin Deford, owner of the granite
factory, loses $280,000, the same as cash paid
out. Mr. Carroll, owner of the Patapsco
Mills, loses $OO,OOO, and Gambrill 1380,000.
Private subscriptions are now being made
for the sufferers here. It is raining again
to-day.
Four more bodies, two men and a woman
and child, were recovered today at the
Long Bridge.

700 Mlles of Union Pacific Railroad
The Union Pacific Railroad Company do
not disappoint the public. They Bald they
would do their part towards having a rail. '
rood to the Pacific 113 1870, and they are go
ing to do it In 18130. They have 700 miles
done now, and they expect to have NO done
this year. It has 73 locomotives and over
900 cars in constant use, and nearly twice
as many more are ordered, It laid 60,000
tons of rails before 1887, and about 30,000
tons more will be required In 1868. 20,000
mon aro at work, west of the highest point
of the Rocky Mountains, and Brigham
Young has all the male Mormons that can
be spared from their domestic duties dig
ging a way eastward towards Gentile civil
ization. 'rho Central Pacific Company are
also actively engaged, and there is now lit
tle doubt that the two roads will meet in
1800, and that the traveler may see tho sun
rise on Monday morning over Boston Har
bor and not through the Golden Gate of the
Patina on Saturday night.
If the Ghvarnment had not loaned Its
credit, this work would never have been
dotio; no private capitalists would have In
vested over a hundred million dollars in
any such enterprise. But the Government
gave the Company the right to issue First
Mortgage Bonds upon the road, and took a
second mortgage for its own security, bur
the completion of the work will more than
double the value of all the national domain
in its vicinity, and make the First Mort
' gage Bonds one of the safest and most
profitable investments In the country. The
earnings from the way traffio more than
pay the Interest, which, at six per cent. In
gold, is between eight and nine per cent. In
currency.
llnnainiroS Throe of the Adams Express
Robbers In Indiana
CINCINNATI, July 21,—The lynching of
the Adams Express robbers near Seymour
last night was a premeditated affair, and
was occasioned by the determination of the
citizens of Jackson and the adjoining coun
ties to rid themselves of as desperate ailing
of robbers and murderers as has ever been
known. A family named Reno, living at
Rockford, two mites from Seymour, are the
leaders of this gang, whose operations have
extended all over the West. The Adams
Express has repeatedly been robbed by these
men, who would get on board the trains
and overpower the messengers, or take pos
session of the engine and express car, and
run them off from the train, and then leave
attea robbing the safes. A. robbery of this
kind occurred lately on the Hamilton and
Dayton Railroad near this city, whereby
the American Express Company was rob
bed of a large amount, the Reno family be
ing the leaders or instigators in .the affair.
They are also the party who led the raid in
lowa last spring, when so many of the
county safes were robbed.
On the 22d of May last the Adams Ex
press Company's car was robbed, eighteen
miles from Seymour,
of $06,000, in which
the Renos and their friends were the prin
cipal actors, some of whom are now in
Canada to avoid capture, and others are
under arrest. On the 16th inst. Adams'
Express was again attacked about twelve
miles west of Seymour, but the armed
guards of the company repulsed the robbers.
Two of them have since been captured, and
for the remainder a large reward has been
offered. Val. Elliott was one of the gang,
and was captured on the night of the at-
I tempted robbery. Charles Roseberry, a
resident of Seymour, and a pupil of Reno,
was afterward arreett&hy the:Citizens of
geimour. Fred. Clifton was also &nested.
-They all admitted their bOneeetion, with
'the a ff air. For safekeeping they weretaken'
tft• Cincinnati, when .warranta'Werei pro
cared, and they were put on the train of the
Ohio and Mississippi ,Mailrus4 last ,night,
bound for Browntown, the county seat of
Jackson county. When about two miles
west of Seymour the train was stopped and
ibe men taken out and hung, as already
- eated.4 Their bodies • were found •bt -nn
',early hour this morning, hanging to the
'limbs of trees in the vicinity. The particu

DISTINOUISIIED VISITOREI.—The lately
dained Catholic Bishop of the new Dio
cese of Harrisburg, Dr. J. F. Shanahan,
paid a visit to this city last Sunday, in com
pany with Bishop Wood, of Philadelphia,
and our fellow townsmen Rev. A. J. Mc-
Conomy. Ho officiated at the early service
(7 o'clock), at the German Catholic Church
where he was an unexpected visitor; and
it was only when the early bells pealed
forth in Joyful tones that his' arrival was
first intimated.
The Germans, it is well known, frequent
ly show their attachment to their pastors,
and particular to those who fill the position
of Bishop. Consequently as soon as the
service was over nearly the entire congre
gation lined the side _walks uncovered,
while the venerable Bishop passed, giving
them his ecclesiastical blessing. During
the J3ishop's stay in this city be was the
guek of our old friend Peter McConomy.
SINOULAR.-It is stated that the appear
ance of the Susquehanna river previous to
the recent rains, created quite an excite
ment along Its banks. For some two weeks
the river was covered with a substance or
matter of a very dark green color, running
in large fields over the river for miles down.
The oldest Inhabitants could not account
for the peculiar phenomenon, nor did they
ever recollect seeing the river present such
an appearance before• Some accounted for
It in the fact that the Susquehanna was
never so low as at that time, and that the
color arose from the stagnation of the water.
Others thought it was coal oil, as It had the
appearance of oil thrown on water giving it
a smooth surface. It is stated to have been
very fatal to fish, great numbers of dead
fish having been floated by the current
down to tide water, and it is also reported
to have proven fatal to animals who drank
of it.
FIRE.—On yesterday (Sunday) about 12
o'clock, M., a fire broke out at the build
ing known as "Bletzs' Mill," situated on
Front St., Columbia, The proximity to
the Gas House and Gasometer, and the fact
that a large body of lumber was stored in
the mill caused a great excitement, as
fears were entertained that an explosion of
the gas holder might be occasioned by the
heat of the fire. Both fire companies of
the Borough were on hand and it is ow
ing to their united efforts that the saving
of much life and property is due. Had
they been a little less prompt the gaso
meter must have exploded and its destruc
tion would shave comprised that of the
whole neighborhood. No other building
was burned,' though the wood work of the
gas house nearest.the fire was destroyed.
The mill destroyed was owned by Mr. F.
S. Bletz, of this place, whose loss is in the
neighborhood of $12,000, but is partly:insur
ed. Various rumors are afloat regarding
the origion of the fire, but the supposition
is it was the work of boys who wore in
the mill and that it was an accident.
Mr. Blets was insured for $4600. $2OOO in
the Columbia Insurance Company, of this
place, and $2OOO in the Lycoming Mutual
of Money. Messrs, Hogendoebler and Gil
bert, carpenters, employed in the mill, lost
all their tools, amounting to $l5O each.—
