Tbe world paused to read a second
time) that cxpre.-ive sentence of teu
tbort wwiii. It sounded strangely after
tbe persistent effort of Andrew Johnson
to defeat tbe will of the people a re
peadedly expressed by tbeir represeuta
tivea in Congress. Tbat sentence took
the nation, aa it were, by storm. It was
tbe announcement of a fundamental
principle of oar government in eucL lan
guage tbat it carried tbe conviction to
the ardent and honest believers iu Repub
lics, that the man wbo possessed tbe mili
tary geniu to ctush the elavebolders' re
bellion, also understood tbe true spirit in
which our government ia founded. It
was the voice of lbe statemeo, aud his
tory to recrJ it aloug aide of truth ut
tered by the great men wbo have strug
gled to belter the condition of tbe peo
ple by tbe establishment of free govern
ment. ' . I.
And while tbe beauty of tbe sentence
Las given force to tbe truth that it con
tains, and impressed it indellibly on the
miuds and in the hearts of the people,
tbeir attention has also been closely
drawn upon its author to see how nearly
he followed io the teachings of his pre
crpts. And no wonder that hi course
lion id be thus scrutinized, for had not
the Teuneesee Moses. Andrew Johnson,
time upon time, proclaimed himself a
Tribune a man of the people. How
fur i-bort of his promises he came ; how
lie made tbe effort to disorganize the
party tbut elected him Vice President.

President Grant's course has borne the j.prece Hill
scrutiny of tbe people a well as it was tack01
posrihle for it to bear. .Noba break has !
been discovered in it His course has ,
beeu consistent in all particulars with j
the dixl i ration mtde in his inati .rural. '
It is true that when a certain phrase of
the Santo Domingo question was reached,
grave apprehensions were felt through
out the country that the President would
uot be equal to the crisis. These ap
prehensions were . illy founded The
Preaident bad not asserted himself. Like
at Shilo, like at Vicksburg, like in the
Wilderness and at KicUdjond, when the
ciieis came he was always equal to it
Just at tbe critical juncture, when the
Republican party seemed on tbe verge of
ruin, aud tbe President appeared to have
drifted from bis declared principles, he
noserts himself. We again see the great
General, only in a different sphere. Lie
reiterates tbat he has no "policy to enforce
against the will of tbe people." The
country is satisfied. Tbe excitement
subsides, and Santo Domingo is lost to
tdght. If a man of lesser statesman-
son had administered the affairs of tbe
nation, under tbe Santo Domingo ex
citement, tbe party would have been rent
in twain, and to-day Pennsylvania would
resound with the shouts of the Democ
racy in tbeir jolification over the State
carried in favor of their candidates and
principles. Next to Abraham Lincoln,
President Grant occupies the place in
the heart of a great portion of the
American people, aud at the present
time no man in tbe United States is in
mieh favor with the people for the Presi
dency in 1S72 as is the stateman Presi
dent, who declared that he had no policy
to enforce against tbe will of the people.
The Democratic party of New York
aud elsewhere have made serious efforts
to whitewash Tammany, and screen its
guilty plunderers. This course of tbe
Democracy is a striking contrast with the
course of the Republican treatment of
thoce'who have been guilty of theft and
violation of trust in office. For example.
the defalcation of Norton, in the Poet
Office of New York, was visited with se
vere penalties, and his property seized
in execution to pay for his stealings, and
Hodge, in tbe Paymaster General's Office
at Washing'on, for his short comiugs,
was sentenced to ten years' imprison
ment ; and lastly we have the arrest of
Krans, the Pennsylvania Claim Agent
defaulter, and bis imprisonment in the
Panphin county prison in default of the
heavy amount of bail required, gamely.1
four hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars. . i

The Republican State ticket has been
elected by a large majority. The ma
jority cannot yet be stated at precise
figures, but it is in the neighborhood of
20.000. The Senate is Republicrn by a
majority of one 17 Republicans and 16
Democrat. The Thirteenth Senatorial
district, commonly known as the Luzerne
district, became Democratic by great
frauds, it is alleged, and dispatches have
it that Mr. Parrish, tbe Republican can
didate, will contest the seat with Mr.
Collins, the Senator elect.'
The Lower House stand 63 Republi
cans to 37 Democrats Republican ma
jority 36 giving 27 Republican majority
on joint ballot. .

in the House was 6, and only 5 oa joint
ballot. Glorious result. . , ..

port of New York, has tendered his res
ignation to President Grant, he says to
heal the break existing in the Republican
party in New York.

approached by a white man, and, it i
alleged, was openly insulted on the high
way Prof. Catto put his hand behind
him as if to draw a pistol, when a car
came np and he passed down the street a
few pace Here he was accosted again
by the man aduded to wbo seemed to
know him. lie theu levelled a pistol at
Catto's head, when a female called and
said ; "Come in here, Professor, or yon
will be shot"

to cross the street, when the assassin lev
elled hia pirtol agaiu mud shot at him
three time. One ball look effect in Cat

and another struck him in the left shoul
der. Tbe first shot caused his death al
most instantly. lie was soon picked

It is estimated that there is an average
loss of two or three yards along the east
ern coast of England washed away by
the sea every year, and then about thirty
acres of land disappear annually between
Spurn Point, and Flamborough Head
alone. There was once an important
seaport called Ravenspurn on this coast,
which returned a member to the Parlia
ment of Edward I ; but in 1399 there
was but little of it left, aud at tbe close
of the next century tbe ground on which
it once stood; had totally disappeaeed.
Several villages which appear on old

The heavy rain of the 12th instant
caused an almost unprecedented freshet
in the Penobscot river, in Maine, the
water having risen nearly nine feet in
twenty-four hours. About five millions
of logs, sunk in dead water above Old
town, have broken from their fastenings,
and are fast floating away. Large quan
tines must inevitably be lost. It is
feared much damage will be done to
bridges, 4c. No trains on tbe Maine

PREVIOUS REPORTS CONFIRMED.
New York, Oct 15 A "World'
special, dated at l'ishtego, Mich , Oct ,
12, confirms the previous reports of the
utter destruction of tbe town. Four
hundred dead had been found, and it is
thought three hundred more are in the
river.
Tbe velocity of the fire was so great
tbat all escape was impossible. A large
number ot dead have beeu brought to
Oconto for burial. Tbe loss of life on
tbe east shore, in Dover and Ke wan tee
counties, is appalling.
Twenty -five dwelling were burned and
several liveswere lost at Pensaukee. At
Brussell two hundred bouses were burned .
The town of Merekanre was also in
ruins, it was reported that tbe whole
West was on fire from Green Bay to

Milwaukee, Oct. 15 The latest ac
counts from Northern Wisconsin con
firm all reports and rumors. Tbe loss of
lile in tbe vicinity of Pisbtcgo will reach
twelve hundred, and fifteen per cent, of
those injured cannot recover. A mem
ber of the relief committee, sent from
Milwaukee with supplies, says the only
survivors were those who were fortunate
enough to reach the water, throwing
themselves into mill ponds and clinging
to floating logs.
A number of these were drowned, be
ing thrown from the logs by maddened
horses and cattle that rushed into the
water. Tbe fire swept over a tract of
country eight or teu miles wide. Every
building and fence and all the timber
was destroyed The population of Pisb
tego nun, hers 2000, oue-lbird of whom
perished. Reports from the east shore
of Green Bay place the loss of life fully
as high as at Pishtego. The mayor of
Milwaukee has issued an appeal to the
people for aid.

seen in lbe United States was brought
over in 1S20 In 1823 500 pair were
