Thespe?-h delivered by the Hon. J. X.

pithy facts which cannot be too often re
iterated, lie could not have put the sit
uation more clearly than ifl this state
meet :
Trie present condition is th logical re
snit of the suce-ss at the Presidential
election of November last of the party
which d-lares that protection of Ameri
can industries is rohbery, and stands
pitdued to reverse the policy which for
more than thirty years has given ui an
era of prosm-rity such as tiiis or no other
country tin ever before eto yed a poli
cy which has causid'.iwji.iiion tosweep
parors a co.Mineut, w hich has opened
tidies of t:.e n-ful metals r.nd started
the wi ee'.s of new industries in the
Seuth, which has iarg'-iy tran-ferred the

Terms of a Compromise.
W ashic.;to!. I. C. Met. 7. The corre
spondent of the New York Sun says that
Secretary Carlisle has sageteJ a compro
mise wbicb ra:!it be acceptable ia case it
fbuutd be deiniastratei tbit anrontlitional
repeal is impossible. His proposed pian.it
is understoo I, cootem; '.ales the extension of
the Siiermai law for three rear, with a re
daction of the amount of silver to be pur
chased to i.oCii.OOO ounces monthly ins eal
of 4.y',nO ounces, as tbe !mw stands row.
Senator Sherman is also reported, in an in
terview published in tbe Cincinnati I,t.-,iirtr,
on Thursday, to have said, after expressing
bis belief that the repeal bill cannot pass .
"My judgment i that in the end the Demo
crats will vote fr a propositi ja to extend
the provisions of the Sherman law three
years, with a reduction of the monthly pur
chase of silver to 2,5"V,0O0 oances, instead
of 4,Vi-.io ounces aa now."'
In answer to a question a to whether the
PresiJrtit would sign such a bill, the Senator
aid : " I bave oo meant of knowing, yet I
am impressed that he will agree to a fair
com promt. If be does not he will destroy
his party and his admlnis '.ration will bebro

2 (, aad damage to property of $5,OX',0'X.
The principal loss of life was on tbe coast
below New Or'.eacs and along the shores of

asters, also, accompanied by loss of life.
The death list is already above 1056, and

chemeres, carrying everything before them.
There have been several similar disasters
on the coast at List Island, where 2SJ peo

six years ago, when the lost were 20U ; but
Monday's ui?sster far surjosses these hor
rors. The fated settlements extend along the
Mississippi from Pointe a la Ilache, to miles
below New Orleans, to the Gulf oa Bayou
r.aratara. and the oyster ree& between there
and the mouth of the Mississippi and on
the islands st retching frjm tie Mississippi
to the mainland at Chemeres Cami'iida, Hay
St, 1-uis and Pearl Paver in Mississippi.
Chemeres Caniiuada was supposed to be
the taW piece oa the Gulf coast ; but the
fury i t the storm raised the water in the
bay back of it. Early Monday morning the
water had risen fifteen feet and poured over
(..-aiide Is'e e:;;ht feet deep. With a current
of ei,:hl to tea miles aa hour it swept every
thing he f jre it, and of the 310 houses in the
yell. ement only three were standing at sun
rise. In the river ai;d Gulf the disasters to ship
ping at. sailors were terrible. The steata
boa'. Jce Webber and the J. McSweeney, her
cccsort, met with total demolition, and the
en: ire crews of both steamers sank in a wa
tery grave. One hundred and twenty
schooners and barges and 2 luggers are
sutik, in most cases accompanied with heavy
lorfof life. Some IV) small vessels are miss
irz and aresniposed to be lost- The entire
t; a'f coast of Mississippi and Louisiana, west
of the AtcLafa'aya, is strewn with wreckage.

Nxw Oeleass, Oct. 8. Tbe news from

it safe to estimate the loss of life at fal'y

of people have been deprived of the means of
making a livelihood. The situation is ap

can to relieve the thousands in want. Dr.
Story, coroner of Fhsipiemine parish, Las

"A good many carloads of provisions and
clothing have been sent out, but not enough.
Men, women and children are wiihcut focd
and clothing. They have become ao des

tbe stores and Meal food. It is a frequent
thing to see little sufferers crying and beg

"I do not think I exaggerate tbe facts
when I state that at lea.it 2.V0 souls weie
ushered into eltroily by the recent storm in
Louisiana. This of coutse includes the
i'.ayou Cook county, Cheniere Camanada,
Grand Die etc I never saw bodies decom
pose so rapidly as those of the storm suf
ferers which were viewed by me. ihis was
due to the fact that the fih and ciabs in the
r-aycus ate of the remains. I believe firmiy
that the marshes and other places are fiilcd
with human forms. It is impossible to get
at these, however, as noone is adventurous
enough to explore the swamps. There can
be no doubt of the fact that this is conducive
to an epidemic of fever or even cholera. If
o:ie Cii-e of the latter disea-e suou'.d develop
it wouid t read through the country like
w iidilre, but nothing can be done to prevent
this."
The relief party which set out from Biloxi
tells au aw fal story of the c'e-tiiutiou ai.d
loss of lif: in tbe Louisiana marshes. Tbe
marshes are filled with dead and putrefying
bodies, hi very few casts the corpse being
r-.cc jrniaable. The number of lives lost in
those marshes will never be known. Tbe

noon Cbsuticey M. B-?pew wai invited to
speak, and, tmocg other things, said : "Tbe
fact that this convention in full of nihi;siif
tie men shows that our party bas cot lost
its courage. We are victims of an accident.
The people wanted a change and they got it.
It took thera 3) years to mike up their mind
that they wanted a change and it will take
them about a year to detide to chaiige back.
In ) years a new generation of voters has
come upon the stage. They know nothing
of lh? ifsnrs which give r'.;e to tiie e.rfarcz i
tion of tbe Itepuhlicaa party. They know
nothing of the sirogles of R. pubi.car:i-m

Now they bave tbe cbapge and the Iero.v

"Tbe Democratic rty is said lobe for the
repeal of the Sherman silver purchase law.
but abatis it doing? Instead of doing its
plain duty, to the amazement of Europe and
disgust of America, it bas turned the ball of
tbe United States Senate into a cave of the
winds. Twenty years of prosperity bas been
dissipated in a year. But the prodigals are
returning to their fathers' bouse, and will
continue to Sock back ia such numbers that
the whole world will be drafted to supply
Republican veal.
" Tbe Democrats are dived oo almost

They care not how the people vote as long

Hymen Tangoed All Three.
A lb a sr. N. Y., O-H. ".Tbe most remark
able breach of promise case and suit against
a husband for alienation of his wife's a Sec

week. William H Forbes, of Groveton, N.
H., has brough suit against Mrs. Lucy
Wells Morse for breac h of promise of mar
riage, and another against her husband,
Frank Morse, for alieration of her affec
tions. He wants $1". '") in each case.
While the woman in the case, then Miss
Wells, was a captivating school ma'am at
the Castle Normal School ia 1S3, she went
to Groveton to care for the children of For
bes, whose wife (Miss Weils sister j bad just
died. Forbes fell iu love with her, proposed,
and, so be says, was accepted, the weddiog
day being tiled. For some unknown reason
Miss Wells broke the engagement, left Grove
ton and resumed school teaching.
Ia the meantime her other sister, the wife
of Morse, died. Mr. Morse sooa alter began
calling upon bis sister-in-law, end in six
months the engagement of the two was an
nounced, causing some comment, as all the
parties concerned are -juite prominent in a-r-ciety
aad church. This time the engage
ment was not broken, although Forbes used
every effort ia his power to bring about tbi9
result. Miss Welis betame Mrs. Morse, and
the cnion appears to be very happy. Hence
the jealous Forbes has sued for both aliena
tion and breach of promise.

Light's rolling mill in tbe western suburbs
of the city. The surgeon found Miss Eliza
McKanney, a girl of IJ years, unconscious.
In the room with her lay the body of Geo.
Bender. There was everywhere ia Uie room
and especially about the person of :ae young
man, evidences of the sternest poverty.
The girl was revived and she raid she bad
taken poison. She wanted to die.
It is thought that Bender also committed
suicide with poison, but the post mortem
examination has not yet been made.
The young people were lovers, and Ben
der, who was a rolling mill hand, had beeu
out of work for four weet Its. This calami
ty teems directly due to the poverty of the
lover. The girl and he bid evidently de
cided tbitt there were too many rough plac
es in life, and resolved to leave the world
together. Their groans attracted the atten
tion of William Mease, who male ti.e dread
ful discovery.

the justice of the peace ia which p recinct,
where tbey were supplied to persons makh g
application for such lisene. The justice

ty, were married with such license during
tbe last decade, including a number of per
sons of tbe highest social standing ia Tex

tbe legality of such license aad marriage
ceremonies performed under them, that the

The Fountain Head of Strength.
When we recoltrct that the stomach is the
grand laboralorv in wbirh food is trans form
ed into the secretions which furnish vigor le
the system after entering and f nricbii g tbe
blood ; that it is, in short, the fountain head
of strength, it is essential to keep this im
portant snpplying machine in order, and to
restore it to activity when it becomes in
active. This Hosteller's Stomach Bitters
does most effectually, seasonably, regulating
and reinforcing digestion, promoting due
action of the liver and bowe-s. Strength
and quietude of the nerves depend la great
i measure upon thorough digestion. There
is no nervine tonic more nighty esteemed by
j the medical fraternity than tbe Bitters.
Physicians also strongly commend it for
chiils and fever, rheumatism, kidnev and
bladder trouble, sick headitcbe, and want of
appetite and sleep. Take a wineglassful
three times a day.
Tried to Rod a "Penney" Train.
Lascastib, Pa , Oct. 7. An attempt was
made early this morning to wreck and rob
tbe news express on the Pennsylvania Rail
road near Gordocvilie. This traia leaves
Broad Street S a'.ion shortly after 1 o'clock
in tbe morning for the West.
When the express came near Gardonville
it suddenly baited. Oa the tracks abesd lay
a great pile of cross ties and other obstruct
ions. Two men were teen running from tbe
spot. Thev were hotly pursued, and they
were captured at Parkesburg. Both are in
jail, and both refuse to give their names. It
seems lhat the only reason they bad for
wrecking tbe train was to rub the mail
cars.
