List Thursday evening about 7 o'clock, three gentlemen appeared on the platform in Graybill's HalL be foro the audience assembled there. These were Dr. Thomas Elder, the active head of the Politico-teinper-auce movement in this County, in company with Hon. James Black of Lancaster city, add a Reverned Gen tleman whosename we have forgotten. The Dr. introduced them. .Mr. Black appeared to make a speech, the Rev erned gentleman accompanied him to open the meeting by hymn and pray er, which he did by" announcing tlie hymn, "All Hail the power of Jesus Name," in the singing of which a uiunber of the atfdience of both sexes joined, on the conclusion of the sing ing of the hymn, the preacher offer ed a prayer on bended knees to the throne of Graca The religions pre liminary exercises being concluded, Vr. Biaek came to the front of the platform and delivered a speech in advocacy of the recent Politico tein perauce'niovement . He opened by dwelling on the superiority of the system of government of the United States, in that it tolerates the advocacy of a cause. In the countries of the old world, there were few places that allowed people to assemble, as his audience ussembled to consider mat ter of iolitic8 or State affairs and thence he drifted from the eulogy on the righM of "the freedom of thought." to the tenipcx-ance question r.nd the temperance movement He considered the manufacture and sale of intoxicating drink a sin against God, and in its rehition to man a ciime. The position of the Church on theqnesti'in was stated. Dr. Rush was quoted, and the dates of the several notable tempei-iince movements in this country given. There were temper ance EjHKihs in this country, advances and declines on the question. Air. Blac k did not, but he could consis tently have deduced from his line of argument, that the cause of the de cline in interest in the Temperance cause at stated intervals in the past was pure ly owing to the eflorts to organize it as a Political party, and that deduction would have been fol lowed by another natural one, that if political manipulation ruined or caus ed it to 'backslide' in the past, the pres ent movement will result in the same end. Viewed from a legal standpoint liquor has been a subject for legis lative action for many years. It is ' perfectly consistent he argued to es tablish or aet a law for its prohibi tion. He would not deny the per soiud right to drink. The legal right to prohibit the traffic could not be denyed. The country had recog nized the right by allowing legisla tion in the past on the question. The -uactni-r.t of the license law itself was a leoognition of the right to pass laws in regard to it. But after awhile .Vr. Black got awayfrom the general advocacy of the question, purely as a moral and religous issue with sin, and notwithstanding the silent but powerful remonstrance there is con--tmuidly coming up from the decline of the question at stated times in the history of the movement, which he referred to by Epochs, he would or ganize it now into a political party. He declared that the question be fore the people of this country is Hum. He declared that the Republican party had no issues. He declared that its work was done, that it is a nun party. It was a series of wild declarations and an efttire ignoring" of the general workings f questions r.nd state policies. The charge adds nothing to Mr. Black as fully compre hending the great issues that have been wrought oift in this country by the instrumentality of the Republi can party. The very great privelege that Mr. Black spoke so highly of ill the opening of his speech has only leen secured to the people of this country witliin the past twelve years, for in one half of this country within the time stated laws were in force that denied the right to discuss all ques tionu, moral, religious and political, whenever people chose to assemble for that pnrjMise. Nearly one-half of tins country was opposea io rree thought, frt-e speech, free religion, mil tb'.t portion wes a constant menace to the other part, and tmtO the questions were definitely settled by the triumph of one, or tfie other, no man could tll how it would end. Providence in his wisdom ruled that the system that gives man the right to govern themselves should prevail, and for the first time in the history of the world a free government has been established. Nearly six thous and years have been spent in establish ing this government for the people. Nearly eighteen hundred generations of men have passed away in the strug gle. It has come in our day and generation. Within the past twelve years, and now we are met by the new heresy that the old troubles among men ere all over, there is nothing more to do, all is safe, tear np the organi zation that was the instrument that Providence employed to advance good among men, the work of 6000 years will not be undone by men who by their own folly were whipped into the rec ognition of the rights of all men. The saving that there could be no effoit to restore the old order of affairs and go 6 till further back, to older and more rigidly aristocratic nystems is itself a criticism on the dis cernment of the man who makes it. The history of the past disproves it Take for illustration the Catholic re ligion, but a few centuries ago, it was I all powerful. Of governments it set up or ptuiea aown whomsoever or whatsoever it pleased. Its power has been broken, but there are thousands of learned and intelligent men who seriously insist that it is the deter mined purpose of that sect to rein state itself if it can, with infallibility and indulgence as fully in operation as they were in its lest past days. If the power of Catholicism that has reared and declined with- j in the past 1800 years, is to be feared, but much more should be feared a system of Caste rule that has been in J . .. .. force from the earliest days of man's occupancy of the earth, and is yet in full force in some form or other in almost every part of the globe, ex cepting the United States, and here it has been got rid of within a dozen years only. That part of Mr. Black's speech was a fine illustration of the clap-trap ' element that the Politico-temperance ! people have on hand for use. There ; . ... . . is another point or two in Mr. Black's speech to which we may direct atten tion next week, not having the space to devote to it this issue. The County Republican Conven tion of Return Judges. The ret uro judges who were elected on Saturday, tbe 25tb, iost., to hold tbe Repobhcao Primary electioo, under the proviaiODS of tbe Crawford county sys tem, assembled in tbe Court House in tbis place, at 1 o'clock on Monday af. tefnoon, to count tbe votes cast for tbe respective candidates on Saturday, and to transact such otber business as be comes them under tbe system, which governs tbe primary worainf of the party in tbis souuty.

The town of Iodianola was almost entirely destroyed. Iudi anola is a poet village of Calboun coun ty, Texas, on tbe west shore of Mata gorda Ray. It bad ft 1870 a popula tion of 1,150, wbicb has probably aince considerably iucreased. There is a line of steamboat between tbe port and Galveston. A descriptive despatch says: On Thursday the wind blew steadily and strongly. By evening tbs jltttation became alarming, and that night became terrific. On Friday morn ing tbe water was six feet deep in tbe streets. Friday night was oce of agony. Tbe broad daylight of Saturday re vealed a dreadful condition. Tbe town could not be recognized as tbe Indian o!a of the day previous. The ruin was total ruin was everywhere. The peo ple were seen walking and jumping over one gully and another ; neighbor met neighbor, and told of the troubles and tribulations of the previous night Death and destruction were all around us. Houses were crushed to the ground, otLers swayed round and were leaning over. Tbe wind was dying out, and tbe water was disappearing from tbe streets. Those tbat could aallied out to learn tbe news. Bodies of men, women, aod children were found in all directions. Police aod guards Were organized, and search was diade for mining relatives aod friends. How many have lost their lives in this fearful storm it is im possible to learn. Up to tbis time sixty or seventy bodies have been found and buried. Men and women were found who bad floated off on doors or any thing they could get bold of. Some were beneath the roofs and had been carried away long distances. Tbe es cape of so many of tbe citizens is al most marvelous. The number of hu man beings drowned will never be known, as there were a large number of strangers in town. Tbe number of lives lost is estimated at one hundred and fifty. A number of persons were out on rafts for hours, but in many cases were not saved. Wni. Taylor, on trial for tbe Sutton murder, was let out of jail to prevent his being drowned, and be made bis escape. AH tbe churches in the town are swept away. The court bouse is safe.
