The State of Georgia is about
changing its constitution. The Dem

because, as they say, "it brands the
late war as a rebellion, thus insult

patriotic dead," and farther because
"it declared that paramount alle

the National Government."
Thus, step, by step, are tbe result
accomplished by the war being on

KCI.KS FOR VALUING THE PLEDGES Ot
CANDIDATES.
The President in former times
made tbe public declaration tbat
there are frequently great differences
between pledges made by candidates
before an election, and corresponding
fulfillment after being clothed with
official power. A later truth comes
to us second-banded from a Presi
dential aspirant, wbicb, with tbe
former, is irrefragable. It is as fol
lows: "When we see men who have
for eight years steadily maintained
that black is black suddenly change
about and, in three days, as loudly
maintain tbat black is white, we
know tbat tben or now we have been
urged to believe a lie." In this, our
day and generation, we hare promi
nent elucidations or these truths, ana
which, being treasured, may in tbe
future enable us to give proper value
to tbe teachings of stump orators.

in following the example of its an

GtS. BUTLI&'S REPLY TO TnK AR
RAIGNMENT OP MACVEAGH.
In Gen. Butler's letter of tbe 30th
instant addressed to Wayne Mac
Veagh, of Pennsylvania, he gives tbe
Pennsylvania lawyer a Roland for
his Oliver. This newspaper combat
only serves to amuse, not instruct,
the public. In dealing in sarcasm
the General has the advantage of his
opponent as is shown in tbe use of
personalities in the letters referred to.
Crimination and recrimination set
dom result in secaring public respect
for either party. When one accuses
tbe other of stealing private proper
ty while in a military position, and
applying it to his own personal use,
and tbe accused answered by charg
ing that the writer married into
family where he was neither wanted
nor respected, and tbat money was
bis object, but he would have to wait
for dead men's boots, it is more tbsn
probable ' tbat tbe contestants will
come out of the conflict in a worse
condition than when they went in
Tbe last shot in this battle of words
is from MacVeagb, and shows tbat he
is improving in this kind of dispute

Bridgeport, Conn., June 8. The
moat disaatrooa fire, if we take into
account tho loss of life, and one of
tbo most destructive, locking at the
loas of property, ever experienced in
Bridgeport occured about midnight
last night At 11:30 P. M. , the out
side watchman at the Union Metallic
Cartridge Works discovered a light
ia the fourth story of Glover, Sanford
& Sons' factory, situated, across the
railroad track from tbe cartridge
works. An alarm was immediately
somded. wbicb waa followed by a
second, and tho whole Fire Depart
ment responded. As is almost invar
iably tbe case in this city, the water
supply proved insufficient, and, after
exhausting the street main, the steam
ers took water from awamp holes and
ponds In the vicinity. Here it was ob
tainable, but in the meantime tbe fire
had escaped control. It appeared to
have originated in the drying or mix
ing room, in tbe northwest corner of
the third story of tbe main building,
and ran along tbat floor until it reach
ed the dummy, by means of wbicb
tbe fire waa communicated to tbe
stories below. The main building
was two hundred and eighty feet
long, fifty feet wide and four and a-
balf stories high. To tbe top or a
high basement tbe brick walls were
sixteen inches thick, bat above tbat
came a story eighteen feet and two
others eleven feet high, surmounted
bv an attic, all supported by twelve
inch walls, the windows being forty-
eight inches wide and thecolumuB be
tween tbem only forty inches. It
will be seen that there was little
probability of tbe walls standing.
It is in consequence of this fact tbat
tbe loss of life occurred while volun
teers were engaged in removing
goods from the building. An entrance
was effected into tbc office ot a one
story building at the northeast cor
ner of tbe factory, and a dozen or
twenty men rushed in and commenc
ed to get out tbe safe, counter and
other appurtenances, when, suddenly
and without warning to those inside,
the back wall and tben the front fell
out, leaviog tbe two highest walls
unsupported. The one adjoining tbe
office leaned odtward, and, as a shriek
went op from hundreds of spectators,
fell upon tbe roof of the office, crush
ing through to tbe basement, aod
burying in the rains tboie who had
been engaged in tbe rescue. One
man who escaped with a gash in his
forehead, when interrogated as to
whether anyone remained insido, re
plied that there were a dozen in there,
which number proves to have been
nearly correct, eleven bodies having J
been recovered, nearly all of them
being fearfully crushed and more or

still rising and doing great damage.
The water is Higher than at any

town or Harlem, opposite Kansas
City, is about six feet under water,
and likely to be entirely destroyed.
All railroads in tbe vicinity are great-j
damaged by washouts, feopie

Cincinnati, June 5 Mount Car
mel, Illinois, which was nearly des
troyed by a tornado last evening, is a
thriving town of about 3,000 inhabi
tants, oa the Cairo acd Vincennes
Railroad. The modt promiunt build
ings destroyed were tbe court bouje,
two newspaper office, three eburcot,
one of the finest in Southern Illinois,
and two school houses. About 20
buwuesa bouses, and nearly 100
residences were destroyed or dam
aged, either by tbe storm or by Gre.
Tbe loss is estimated at from $300,
000 to $500,000. The fame tornado
damaged a number of buildings in
ether towns. .
Tbe Commercial ha.3 lhe following
account of tbe disaster at Mount
Carmel: "The tornado passed over
at about 3:30 o'clock last evening.
It struck tbe town at the south end
of Cherry street and passed almost
due north,, taking ia about one square
east and west and destroying almost
everything in its course. Twenty
two dead bodies bave been found
thus far, as follows : George Wat
kins, Wm. Newkirk, George Bryan,
S. Goodrich, Frederick Goeke, J.
Masteraon's child, John Tennis, Mrs.
Burton,- John A. Edgar, Charles
Norman, Benjamin Ballard, George
Moore, Willie Walker, John Long,
James Higbee, Miss Stockroyer,
James Reel, Mrs. Dolpb, Dyer Lath
rcp, I. Labauer, and C. L. Poole.
The damage to property is estimated
at $300,000. Tbe fire was finally
subdued, after six hours' steady work
by tbe Gre department. Many per
sons were wounded wbose names
cannot now bo ascertained' Tbe loss
of life cannot now be estimated, as a
number of farmers wero ia fiom the
country, whose teams were scattered
among the debris. Physicians were
brought from Carmi and adjoiniog
towns by special trains to assist in
the care of the wounde d.
Later. A Mount Carmel special
to-nigbt says two converging lines
of devastation p.'ove that the tornado
of yesterday partook largely of tbe
character of a cyclone. The first
wreck was a frame farm house,
which was blown out at tbe sides,
letting tbe roof down oa tbe founda
tion. Thence tbe wind swept over a
small strip oftioibsr, and was met by
a counter-current of wind from tbe
west, which did no serious damage
except to fence in its course. These
currents met ol Fourth street, below
Maiu, with a force wbicb is describ
ed to Lave resembled tbe crash of
timber or the flopping of sails, and in
tbe t-pace of a few seconds tbe air
was filled with the debris of a hun
dred dwelliogs, public buildings aod
business houses. Some of the wreck
was carried a distance of a mile.
The principal force of the cyclone
was spent on the line of Fourth street,
running northeast to Woods, west ot
tbe river, where tbe wind again
raised from the earth. Tbe devastation
beyond is not known, because of tbe ab
sorbing interest in the disaster at this
point. Haifa square above Main
street, on Fourth, the furious eddying
of tbe storm carried the Methodist
Cburcb steeple in a contrary direc
tion, lauding it 300 feet away in front
of a saloon. Tbe bell was dropped
in tbe middle ot the street near by
The fury of tbe storm was spent in
tbe business portion of tbe town. In
some cases buildings were only un
roofed, but tbe demolition of other
booses was complete. The Presby
terian Cbur:b is razed to the ground.
The loss of property by tbe storm
and fire is estimated at half a million
dollars, but the interest in that is ah
sorbed in concern for the dead and
missing. This correspondent fur
nisbesno additional names of tbe
killed aud injured.
1st. Louis, Mo., June o. A special
from Mount Carmel, giving an ac
count oi tbe cyclone there yesterday,
says the velocity of tbe wind was
estimated at one hundred and fifty
miles per hour, thirteen persons
were killed outright, and many others
will undoubtedly die of tbeir injuries.
There are also several reported miss
ing, who are probably buried in the
ruins, l be best part of the town is
destroyed. Some seventy families
are homeless, aod much distress is
anticipated. Tbe search for bodies
continues.

An ancient Indian vilUge has
been discovered in the wooJs of Utah,
about 200 miles from Plocbe. Tbe
booses were arranged ia rows, were
about 8 by 3, two stories, and were
built of adobe on pillars of sand
stone. Needles, rude corn grinding

WAsaiNtiTON, June 5. Tbe man
ufacturers of illicit wh:key in South
Carolina have become so bold and
determined in tbeir operations tbat
the use of Federal troops is required
to eufoice the Internal Revenue laws
in that State. In Pickens aud the
adjoining eounties an organization is
known to exist wbicb embraces a
large portion of tbe male population,
wbo have thus far evaded all efforts
of tbe authorities to detect and cap
ture tbem. This organization is un
der tbe direction of a man named
Redmond, and is reported to be well
armed and disciplined for offensive
and defensive operations. Recently
tbe Collector of Internal Revenue for
tbat district made a requisition upon
the military commauder for a squad
of troops to assist him in making a
search for the violators of tbe law,
and Lieut. John Anderson and 20
men of tbe Eighteenth United States
Infantry were detailed. Tbe troops
were supplied with 40 rounds of am
munition and two days' rations.
They spent two days bunting tbe
illicit distillers, but returned without
making aoy captures. A cumber of
persons were chased, but owing . to
tbe vigilance of the population in the
neighborhood passed tbroigb by the
troops, who gave timely warning of
tbe.r approach, the expedition was
unsuccessful, lu bis official report
of bis operations Lieut Anderson
pays :
"Upou returning we found tbe
country entirely abandoned by tne
male lubabitants. From what we
could learn tbey were concentrating
under their leader Uedniond. It is
represented tbat ibis man Redmond
bas a company cf 150 men, well
armed for offensive and defensive
operations against tbe internal reve
nue officers. 1 am of tbe opinion
tbat be has 75 rueu, but tbey are
not constantly with him. Tbey are
mountaineers who live within a ra
dius of five miles around Cane Creek,
and follow tbe manufacture of illicit
whiskey. Having a common inter
est, tbey very taturally join nnder
tbe bold leadership of Redmond,
whose cunning and crimes have made
him notorious and tbe terror of that
section. The enure population sym
pathize with him, and shield him
whenever necessary. In fact, it bas
become tbe pride of map v to boast o'
their conuection with Redmond.
We were unable to find bim or learn
of bis whereabouts. I am of opinion
that it arould be decidedly dangerous
for the civil officers . to go into tbat
section with a view of executing the
revenue lawa without being accom
panied by a detachment of troops, or
to go with a small ' detachment

St. Louts, June 4. As an express
trtin ou tbe St Louis and San
Francisco Railway, late the Atlantic
and Pacific Railway, reaching a
point one and a balf miles west of
Woodend Station, one hundred and
fifty miles from St. Louis, at 8:20 last
night, the engineer taw some ob
struction on tbe track, and instantly
applied brakes, but too late, for on
reaching the spot where the obstruc
tion was, tbe engine and baggage
car left tbe track and plunged down
an embankment of forty feet. Sam
uel Richardson, tbe fireman, and
Dr. E. L. Atkinsoii, who was ou the
engine, were instantly killed, ana
Frank Caton, the engineer, was so
badly injured that be died in two
hours. Conductor Wilson started
for another engine, and on the way
heard a pistol shot and a ball passed
through bis hat. Several other shots
were fired, and passengers say tbat
tbey saw five men standing near
wbo were revealed bv tbe flashes
from tbeir pistols, but no one was
bit Two balls passed through tbe
baggage car. On examining the
track it was found tbat tbe fish -bars
connecting tbe rails on both sides of
the track bad been unjointed and
tbe ends of tbo rails moved so that
the train would run down tbe em
bankment. Tbe shots fired and the
men seen leave no doubt that this
was. a diabolical scheme To run the
whole train down tbe bank, rob the
express and plunder the passengers.
Tbat it was not carried oat may be
explained by tbe fact tbat the night
was intensely dark; tbat it rained1
heavily, and that tbe train was only
runniug at a speed ot about ten
miles an bear. JSo clue to tbe per

New York June C.-Tbe fish of the
Passaic river, New Jersey have been
attacked by a plague, wbicb is doing
infinite damage, the lime cays
tbat for miles above 1'assaic tbeir
carcasses line the banks on both sides
of tbe river in countless numbers.
When first attacked, tbe sides and
back of tbe fisb are covered witb
bright, red spots, about tbe size uf an
old fashioned silver three cent piece.
A tbin blue orgrayish film also covers
tbe bead.
Tbe fisb rush rapidly through the
water, as if undergoing terrible paia.
In a short time tbeir struggles grow
more feeble and death soon ends
tbeir torture. This plague rages as
far north as the drowned land-t at
Hanover, Mortis county, twenty miles
from Paterson. It also affects tbe Bib
of tbe Peckham, Ramapoand Pequan

Tbe fishes affected by this peculiar
disease are tbe'roacb, suckers, sunSsb,
yellow bass, mullets, catfish, perch
and small species of all kinds. Tbe
eels are also dying in large numbers.
Tbe only fish in tbe tiver tbat seem
to be entirely free from tbe plague are
