The Democratic newspapers are already slinging mud at General Garfield. Sexatok Conklin says that he has no doubt that the ticket will sweep New York, and that he will do his utmost for it. The most blatant Garfield un now, are those pruned Republic ans who proposed to bolt, or as the Vsr York Tribute phrased it "take to the woods ' if General Grant was nominated. The Chicago Convention has fol lowed sundry familiar precedents in failing to select the strongest of the candidates presented to it Rut from the second rank of available Republicans it has made a very ex cellent choice,, and one which has the great merit of uniting all sections of the party for a harmonious, ag gressive, and probably successful campaign. James A. Garfield lias been too Ions in public life to have jeseaied injurious allegations against j his jiersonal character and bitter at tacks ujKn his political course, but he is strong in his freedom from in- and I somewhat cooled our ardor, and the blood no longer leans through our veins as in youth, we will le found where duty calls, in the thickest of the coming fray, struggling for Re publican principles. In choosing for its candidate a gentleman whose name had been rarely mentioned in connection with the nominati. n, the convention by no means selected one who is ol scure or untried. Mr. Garfield has long been known to the American leoplo, and has made for himself si name and a fame of which any man might Will lc proud. He is a sol dier, a scholar nd a statesman, and wears well-won laurels gathered in the camp and in council. He posess es all the elements of great iopular strength. He has the cool, constant steadfastness of Grant, the magnet ism and oratorical ability of Blaine, the consistent financial integrity of Sherman, and he has beside the ad- i vantage ot a line military rccoru mat, tngue to gain the iommatii and , knMliv n,iir(l0d bv the great in being able to accept it absolutely LoJier ciclllVnt 'of the country, free from disreputable a.Mianees r Trailulj in tic school that gave the embarrassing pledges.

Instantly the ground was covered with twenty thousand barrels of burning oil, which with the utmost speed, and in the most malignant manner, struck out in a bee line for the nearest tank to it, licking up all combustibles that lay in it-Jpath. In a short time the fire communica ted to the neighboring building, af ter three very large tanks had explo ded and sixty thousand barrels of burning oil had been set free to How down the hill to the creek.

The oil in its course struck the Keystone Oil Refinery works belong ing to Pickering ifc Co. At this point several small tanks belonging to the Refinery- Comsany caught lire and added their heat and thousands of additional barrels of oil to the great river of devastation. The torrents of oil swept across the creek. It swept across and burst full upon the southern portion of Titusville proper.

At the Chicago Convention he started with 2S4, and but twice in all the ballotting did it reach 2S5. His friends are steadfast, but do not grow in numlnrs. TiiEjsame two States never before received two nominations in suc cession of two different men for the offices f President and Vice Presi dent New York and Ohio' are thus honored by the Republican party. And the younger and lesser State in population and wealth gets the higlier honor. It is a singular fact that of the three New York Republicans whom the administration removed from office in 1S7S for not yielding full oledience to the civil service reform rules, one has leen made Governor of the State, another Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the third has been nominated as the Republican candidate for Vice President. The convention is over, and the contest for nominations is a thing of the past. We therefore appeal to . j our brethren to let all past bitter m ; , . . lieSS illlll till V iUUIllllMlll'S VHftCimi'I- ed by the canvass be buried with the rubbish ofthe convention. We know from our own experi ence how natural it is to feel sore over the defeat of a favorite candi date, as we know also how in the heat of a struggle methods will often be resorted to, that calmer judgment will not approve. But good sense and sound policy equally condemn all further discussion of these mat ters at the present time. As the old adage hath it, "there is no ' good in crying over spilled milk." All the power and all the energies of every Republican are needed to elect the ticket just nominated, and he is neither a loyal partisan, nor a sensi ble man who will take a course cal culated to create or promote discord in the ranks. In the campaign now opening there is going to be no child's play, we need every vote that can Ijc rallied to the Republican standard, and all personal and selfish consid erations should at once be sunk out of skht The Republican party needs no better platform for thif campaign than the magnificent . record it has made for itself since 1S5G. Emanci pation, the preservation of the Union, reconstruction, the reduction of the principal and interest of the public debt, and the resumption of specie payments, are evidences of its wis dom and ability to wisely administer the government. Never before in the history ofthe Republican party was a delegate to the National Convention named as the candidate of the party. In this particular the late convention is without precedent General Gar field was a delegate from Ohio, labor ing zealously all the time for the nomination of Secretary Sherman, while Chester A.

The cyclone or tornado is described by eye witnesses as some thing terrible. The storm of wind clouds were first observed forming loth east and west of Wheeler's Grove, the point where the most de struction occurred, and in a short time came together. The cloud which was conical in shae, came to the ground near the grove, traveling eastward. The track of the storm was about half a mile in width and swept everything lufore it, demolish ing form houses, barns and other buildings and carrying some of them Ixxlily lor hundreds of feet, then dashing them to the ground in 1ieces. At one place a farmer's louse, surrounded by a frail fence, was picked up and then dashed to pieces in the yard, leaving every board of the fence remain in its place. There were from fifteen to twenty persons killed outright and many were wounded. Those known to have leen killed were Jesse Asler, wife and twochildren, William Pace, wife and his two children ; killed and another child fatally wounded ; Alex. Osier, wife and child were car ried in the air almost a hundred and fifty feet and seriously wounded, child fatally ; a hired man employed by the latter, name unknown, killed. Other persons, six or eight in num ber, were carried away and not yet found. After the storm the scene is de scribed as heart rending. Parents were looking for their children, hus bands for their waves, and wives for their husbands. Not a house in the track ofthe tornado was left stand ing, and there could not be found pieces enough of some to start a fire with, the storm did not last fifteen if we ashes all the houses on J.rccu street. The Roberts Hotel, close to the bridge, had not burned up until sev en o'clock, but several inferior build ings below were consumed. The Franklin street bridge and the rail road bridge below has hitherto leen saved by great exertions. Frank lin street and Washington and Per ry are full of drays and furniture from the houses emptied by the pan ic stricken tenants. A southwest wind would threaten the Oil Creek railroad depot, and the machine shops and the Mrnint lb add block. Rut little apprehension is felt of such a catastrophe at present unless the wind should take an unfavorable turn. The fire departments ofCor ry, Warren and Oil City are here. There is plenty of water and the men are working like heroes, and are refreshed and relieved from time to time. The refining business is the principal prop of our home industry, offering employment to thousands, and the calamity is therefore a se vere one, and felt by all the business and laboring classes.

The atten tion of Democratic members is now so absorbed with their approaching convention that they evince but little interest in their legislative duties. It seems to lie conceded that the Democratic candidate for president is to be furnished by the East, and the candidate for vice president by the West. Seymour continues to le an immense favorite, and is gaining ground so rapidly that leading Demo crat here declare they regard his nomination almost certain. Thur man, however, is not so strong for the second place, because the Indi anians are clamorous for the vice presidential candidate from their state. Bnhimttre A merica n . Georgia. Atlanta, June 8. Garfield's nomination ii regarded by Demo crats here as very dangerous, and the leaders frankly confess that the chances look bad for November. They assert, however, that the South will now be solid, whereas Grant would surely have carried Florida and Louisiana, and had already de veloped a great following in Georgia. Republicans are confident, and assert that they will go to work at once thoroughly to organize the State. The Constitution editorially pro nounces the ticket very strong, but savs it is the battle of lS7b over again, with the chances in favor of the Democrats. Wholesale Lyni-liin;;. A Great Crime.

In 1851, Chester A. Arthur, fresh from Union College, came to North Pownal, and for one summer taught the village school. About . two years later, James A. Garfield, then a young student at Williams Collage, several miles distant, in order to obtain the necessary means to" defray his ex penses while pursuing his studies came also to North Pownal, and established a writing school in the same room formerly occupied by Mr. Arthur, and taught classes in penmanship during the long winter evenings. Thus, from a common starting point in early life, after a lapse of more tfian a quarter of a century, after years of manly toil, these distinguished men are, by the action of the Chicago convention. brought into close relationship lofore the nation and before the civilized world.
