Several other matters do not appear for want of space. WE learn that two of the three dele gates from thiscounty to the llarrisburg State Convention, of May 10th, will not attend the re-called one of Cooper. DR. S. H. MATHESON, late of Mich igan but formerly of this county, has returned here and been registered un der the recent law as a practicing physician in this county. THE assassin of Garfield, whose name "will go thundering down the centaries," as he himself declared, has just nine more days to consider the re sult of being "a stalwart of the stal warts." THE article of the Pittsburgh Dis. patch of Monday, on the Congressional nomination in this district, is such en tire news here that we will be pleased if it gives the source of its information. It is entirely groundless so far as we know, and may make misunderstanding and enmity where none now exists. We therefore request of the Dispatch to state upon what it bnsed the edi to ri al we refer to. THERE has nothing been made plain er than the fact that Cooper has no power to revive the old Convention, and by the delegates refusing to give any attention to bis caU he and Cam eron, for whom only he is acting, may be compelled to see tho necessity of a new State Convention, at and by which the two State tickets, now be fore the Republicans of the State, may be reduced to one. This all now see is tho only way to harmony and sue cess this fall, so far as the State ticket is concerned. THE Republican county ticket, nom inated at the recent primaries, is well received by the party very generally. During last week and this we have bad occasion to see and converse with Republicans attending Court from all parts of the county, and all express the same sentiment, that the ticket is composed of competent men, having good moral characters, and as being worthy of the support of every Repub lican ef the county. Such a ticket cannot fail to have the usual Republi can majority in the county in Novem ber next. THE first Republican meeting in the State, on Independent side, was held in Pittsburgh last week and is said to have been largely attended and very enthusiastic. General James K. Moorbead presided at the meeting, and speeches were made by Hon. John Stewart, the Independent nominee for Governor, Col. Duff, nominee for Lieutenant-Governor, and Col. Wil liam McMichael, nominee for Congress man-at-Large. This is starting out with flying colors, and indicates the lively campaign we have before us, un less the breach in the party on the State ticket is healed. OUR effort in the last two or three weeks has been, in our limited sphere to point out the necessity of a new State Convention, to heal the difficul ties existing as to a Republican State ticket. We have still hope that a new State Convention will be arranged for, in the interest of peace and harmony. If this is done a bitter contest will likely be prevented. But if it is not done it need not affect the county ticket or the local politics of any county. The only trouble being on the State ticket the county or local tickets will be supported by the whole party in every county of the State, so far as WR have yet noticed. TIIE Philadelphia in urging the call for a new Republican State Convention says : "TL ere is no hur ry about this matter. The election is still five months distant. No Re publican need fear ihat the door is c-osed because the new Convention is not called off-baud. There is room for a good many things to happen in the next few weeks, and events are a good, deal more powerful than bosses or committees. The need for a new Convention will increase. The diffi culty of having one will not. The sense and insight of even the Harris burg Convention his yet to be tested i as a body. It went off once without j orders ; it may again. The Republi-1 can party through the State, as it! seethes lrom week to week, is sure to j to bring its demands to the surface. ' None of will make the new Con vention harder to call. The ill-feeling over a split is sharpest when it comes, the need of a new bridge is generally felt the strongest after the neighbors have been teaming it for a few weeks around the spot were the old one once stood." THE Republican County Committee | of Tioga Lave unanimously adopted resolutions declaring that there is no power to reconvene the llarrisburg Convention : that the Regular and In dependent State Committees should join in calling a new Convention under i the new rules; and that such Conven tion should nominate a new State tick et. The current for the only practical method of harmonizing the party is sweeping on. I >ON CAMERON is over doing the thing and mauy of his most ardent ad mirers are becomiug disgusted at his domineering, dictatorial manner. Ihe following from the pen of Hon. J. R. McAfee, of the Greensbunj Tribune and Herald, and for years one of Cam eron's friends, is a pretty large sized straw. "We are no special admirer of Hon Cameron as a political leader. We think he lacks knowledge of |human nature and don't understand men well enough to bo a wise, prudent and sate leader. In cur humble judgment he is not disposed to consult the people s wishes or pay sufficient deference there to, in order to be a popular leader ; and hence, we are convinced that a verv decided majority of the Republi cans in this State would prefer some ono else who is more in sympathy with the masses, and who is more represen tive in his character and disposition, j to take his place." TIIE letter of Thomas M. Marshall, Esq., oil the political situation in this State, will be seen in another place If anything was wanted to demon strate the utter absurdity of the at tempt of Cooper to give life to a dead body it is supplied by the letter of Mr. Marshall. Taken with the letter of General Lear, the Chairman of the old State Convention, which we pub lished last week, no man having any experience in such questions can doubt for a moment Cooper's total want of power in the premises. He had, as Mr. Marshall says, not even organized the State Committee over which he claims to preside—never having had a meeting of the same—how then could he make a call in its name? Even if there was no other question, the Com mittee that he assumes to act for never met, never was orgrnized and consequently never gave him any such Dower. But in addition to this, when .ve consider the present situa tion of affairs in the State, this assump tion is preposterous. At the present time what is wanted is harmony and union if possible. And if the dele gates who may assemble to-day, under his call, take the right steps by de claring for a new State Convention, this may lead the way and there may yet be peace and harmony in the State. No Tootlmelie Convention lor Th em. SHARON, Pa., June 18.—Your corres pondent has it »rom the best authority that none of the delegates of Mercer coun ty to the Convention of the lOlh of May will attend the Convention called by Chairman Cooper for the 21st inst. The delegates are C. A. Ashton, J. D. j Caldwell' and Joseph Bentley. Mr. Ashton, at least, was a supporter of Wolfe last year, but was chosen, with his associates, by a Convention mostly made up of Independents, to represent the county at the Hajrisburg Conven tion. There Will be a thorough organ ization of the Independents of this county as soon as the campaign begins in earnest.— Pittsburgh Dispatch. Senator Lee on Mr. Cooper. Philadelphia Press.] FRANKLIN, June 15.—Senator J. W. Lee is actively engaged in his can vass for Senator and with his large law practice. I asked him what he thought of the calling together of the old Republican State Convention. He said: "The old State Convention cannot be called together because it adjourned sine die. The notice of Senator Cooper calling the Convention togeth er is entirely irregular. If I am cor rect, he is not chairman of the State Committee for the reason that he has not been elected to that position. Heretofore, it has been the habit of the State Convention to elect the Chair man, or authorize the State Commit tee and the candidates—to choose him. The Convention of May 10 took no action whatever in this respect, and it i 9 surely an act of great assumption on Mr. Cooper's part to call together the dead Convention without any authori ty but his own. For this reason I un derstand, the delegates from this county will not attend the Convention. They may go to Harrisburg, but if they do I think it Will be for the pur pose of meeting with others for the calling of a third Convention compos ed of delegates selected by the people at primary elections held the same day all over the State, to meet some time in August or September to name a ticket. This is the general feeling in this part of the State. The common belief is that the ticket of May 10 will be defeated unless harmony aud unity are attained by some such action. There is another point. The Ilarris burg Convention did not meet the de mauds of the people for the amend ment of the rules governing the party. The conference at Philadelphia recom mended the adoption of four distinct rules. The committee of the Conven tion of May 10 struck out two of those rules and a reference to the proceed ings of the Convention will show that they did not even adopt the remaining two, but simply recommended their adoption. This the Philadelphia con i ference had done, and it was the busi j ness of the Harrisburg Convention to adopt them if it was intended that the party was to be guided by them in the future. It may be that the reason why Mr. Cooper has not called the State Committee together is because he is afraid they will adopt these rules, or that if they had come togeth er they wonld not authorize the call ing of the old Convention to nominate a Congressman-at-Large.

Marshall to-day addressed the j following letter the editors of THE! PHILADELPHIA PRESS, Times aLd j Pittsburgh Dispatch : PITTSBURGH, June 15.—You have I requested me to communicate in a public way my purpose touching a Convention which I learn bv the news papers is to be held on the 21st of this month. Having received no official notification of the assemblage it may be proper that I give the reasons which control my action: The Convention of the 10th of May nominated a candidate for Congress man-at-Large after positive and express notice that he would not accept office. That Convention, as I understood, dis persed without formal vote of adjourn ment, and without making provision for its own recall. Dispersed with out providing means to meet contin gencies such as sometimes occur under the most careful management. If that Convention, as has been suggested, has still vitality for the purpose of completing unfinished business, that vitality must exist in its own body, I should say in its executive—Hon. George Lear. If this vitality exists the sign of life should emanate from within and not borrowed from an out side taper. It appears, however, that a stranger to the Convention has as sumed authority on the premises and issued his call. THE STATUS OF MR. COOPER. Who is Mr. Cooper? From whom does he derive his authority? His name does not appear on the roll of Con vention's membership, nor was he one of its officers. He was chairman of the State Committee, which expired with the organization of the convention of the 10th of May. Mr. Cooper, haying no authority from the Convention, is acting beyond his sphere. A call from a chairman of a dead com mittee is more than void. The fact that a new State Committee has been partially provided for does not help the case. The stream cannot give life to the creator. Moreover, the new State Committee has not met or organized, and the sem blance of excuse for the call of Mr. Cooper does not exist in that direction. It seems to me that the gentleman who has assumed the grave responsibility of requiring 251 delegates to leave their homes and business at his pleas ure has been swift to meddle in a mat ter not of bis concern. It is an act not sustained even by the usage of party machinery in Pennsylvania, and singu larly unfortunate, in view of the tem per of the times. I shall treat this call as unauthorized and take no notice of the demand. This is not a small matter. It is a vital question of power. I bel : eve that self-respecting men who were delegates should refuse to sustain the call by their presence or cooperation on the 21st of June. Those desiring to fulfill the bidding of the projectors of this call may attend and enroll themselves in service In my judgment, this kind of management has almost came to an end. REMIT THE QUESTION TO THE VOTERS. If the dissatisfaction of the Republi can voters with those who meet in a hotel parlor and choose a Ci-ngress man-at-largc, without consultation of the people, is not already known, it may be gathered about the Ist Tues day of November next. It is nearly five months until the voters will be called upon to vote for State offices. There is abuudant time to give the Republican voters a chance to choose their own standard-bear.ers. Would it not be well to remjt the grave dangers that imperil the party to the voters for their dicision. I see that this same Mr. Cooper pro poses to submit the two tickets, now in nomination, to a voluntary poll. From whom does this gentleman derive his authority in this new matter ? Who would be bound by the result as declar ed by the machine ? Are the Repub lican voters of the Commonwealth to be limited in the choice of their Gov ernor to James A. Reaver or John Stewart. I earnestly suggest that Mr. Cooper has let himself out beyond his measure, and he might with propriety retire from the front. The whole question is capable of a fair solution by a reference to the only source of power —the Republican voters of the State. If this attempt to control and direct the suffrage of the Republican voters is persisted in, there is but one remedy known to me ; that is to be found in the free action of each individ ual voter. THOMAS M. MARSHALL. Will go Where lie Can do Best. A Wild Philadelphia correspondent of the Chicago Times gives notoriety to an alleged rumor that if Senator Cameron sees no chance for success as a Republican this fall he will throw himself into the arms of the Democrats. Is there no escape for the Democracy from this impending calamity ?—Har risburg Patriot, (Dem.) Third Term Organ Converted Politicians may stigmatize those who desire to work out reforms within the party, and call them silly, but this is a mistake, lloscoe Conkling learn to his sorrow that a lordly supremacy could not always be maintained in New York. Doubtless he thought, and thinks, the rank and file of the party were silly, but they were not. Mr. Cameron's methods in Pennsyl vania have not given satisfaction. In fact wherever political power has been used in disregard of or in opposition to the wish of the people, the people are "silly" enough to reseDt it.— Washing ton Peporter.

CYCLONE IN IOWA TERRIBLE HAVOC IN THE TOW.M OF G.RIN NELL. Half of the Buildings Demolished—A Hun dred Persons Killed and a Hundred and Fifty Wounded. I)ES MOINES, June 18.—The late ness of the hour at which anything: like authentic statements could be had last night from the tornado at Grinnell, and the consequent prostration of the wires, prevented any report being sent out. The first startling reports of the loss of life were soon confirmed, and authentic reports swelled the list of dead at Grinnell to forty, with several severely hurt, and Cornell College building ruined. Eight at least were also killed at Malcolm station, nine tniies east of Grinnell, and several liv ing in the farming district. A freight train on the Kock Island road, between towns, was caught in the wind and badly wrecked, detaining trains west three hour 3, and a freight train on the lowa Central, just north of Grinnell, was also badly derailed. The first authentic news of the ter rible havoc was received by the Regis ter, as follows: Both college buildings at Grinnell were blown down, with half the north part of the town in ruins and a large uumber killed aud injur ed. LIST OF CASUALTIES. Deacon Ford and wife; Mr. Lewis and wife; Deacon Clement's two chil dren; Mrs. Eva Morton, of Chicago; Henry Pitman's two children—llattie aud Harry and Mr. Pitman, probably fatally injured; Miss Abie Agard, pho tographic artist; Cornell Chase, of Storm Lake, (the only student killed); Susie Bayer, daughter of a dry goods merchant, and mother.

A special to the Register sent at 7 :30 says : From numerous and con tradictory stories of startled citizens we gather the old story of the deep roaring sound preceeding a funnel shaped cloud. It was first seen com ing from the southwest, sweeping up to the northwest corner of the town, leveling huge trees in its pathway aud taking A. A. Foster's house and barn, laying both to the ground, and carry ing Mr. and Mrs. Foster and their children thirty yards, precipitating them amidst debris, all somewhat in jured. Just east of Foster's was 11. C. Pitman's house, also completely leveled, burying beneath it Pitman, bis wife and three children, wife's sis ter and her little baby. Foster took out a three-year-old girl, Ilattie, dead, a boy, Harry, aged ten, fatally injured, and Arthur, slightly injured. Not far away was the residence of Mr. Lewis, an old gentleman and lady, who were both killed. Charles, their son, was in Des Moines and thus escaped. From here the storm pursued a zig-zag direction to the north of the city, when, after wiping out the finest residence portion of the city, it turned toward the college. The west building was dumped into a heap of lath and plas ter and broken timber, burying beneath eight students who roomed therein, all of whom were afterwards extricated more or less injured and one died. The East College, a five story building, was unroofed and fire followed. After completing its work of demolition at the college, the whirling fiend struck straight across the lowa Central Rail road and directly in its path lay load ed cars. A great Mogul engine was lifted completely off and the train top pled to either side at the whim of the wiud. Across the track was the building of Prof. J. W. Chamberlain, treasurer of the college, which was gathered up in sections and dumped in a disjointed heap portions upside down, irretrievably ruined. Dr. R. N. Scott's house was turned almost completely. C. W. Hobart's elegant residence and barn are completely gone. Near by once stood a two-story bouse iu which Miss Abbie Agard was killed, hardly a sign left of it. In the vicinity stood the house of H. Y. McConnell, who was going around almost dement ed carrying a lantern in which there were no glass or light, moving it up and down in search of valuable papers which were blown away. The house was a pile of lath, splinters and plaster. | • AMONG THE ACRES OF RUINS in the vicinity we came lo a block which contained nine houses, all but one leveled to the ground. In one house of this block four persons were killed; Mr. Ford and wife, the hired girl and Mr. Totten. In this vicinity F. W. Williams' house was unroofed, Prof. Ilerrick's aud Mrs. Morris' two houses were bunched together. Not far off stood Lucy Sanders' fiue resi dence and what of it is not scattered over the adjoining country is dumped iuto the cellar. There were ten 'peo people in Sanders' cellar, aud all escaped. Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Day's houses are both gone, also the home of Hon. C. F. Craver, and also a large new residence of Andrew Tarrabee. i The side and top of B. 11. Clark's | house were blown off, also his barn. The home of Merrill, of Kimball f Kimball it Mer- ' rill, dry goods dealers. A. J. Pres- ! ton's house was moved six feet from its foundation. The dwelling of Attorney Dunn was leveled, also that j of G. B. Truwell, dry goods merchant; j also the new house of Graham, the merchant tailor. Near hen- Mrs. (iris wold was killed and her house demol ished. John Morrill's house was blown a distance, apparently in the teeth of the wind. Nut a sign is left of the house of Madison Howard. The house of Geo. Hamilton. Cashier of the First National Bank, is in ruins. G. Jennings' new $5,00 l) house is in kindling wood and broken plaster. Two houses belonging to Mr. Bathom and rented by Misses Lewis and Dills were obliterated. The house of A. E. Rienfred was completely demolished and himself and wife taken from the ruins nearly dead. Mrs. Stewart's house was blown half a block, the fragments jamming the corner of the Jones House. SCENES ARGUNI) THE RUINS are hear-trending. Families are wander ing over the ruins of their homes in a dazed sort of a way, replying willingly to all questions asked and laughing in such a pathetic manner at some ridi culous incident, while some near and dear frieud is dead or dying. One young girl was heard say, half in tears and half in laughter, sue believed she had found a fragment of her room and was looking for seme articles in which to know it. She stopped and picked up a photograph and burst into tears. It was the picture of her little sister who had been killed. Many of those who were saved iu demolishing dwel lings had fled to cellars while houses were carried from over their heads. A. J. Preston was away Irom his home and saw the funnel fury coming. He tried to reach his home, but the tornado caught up with him and he kept him self from being blown away by cling ing to the roots of a tree. C. J. Craver, whose wife and three children were away, saved himself and hired girl bv seeking refuge in the cellar. He says before they wont there the air was fill ed with flying timbers, and they began to come through his house, as easily through woodwork as wiudow glass. Mr. Christian took his wile and children into the celler and all was saved. His house is somewhat damaged. The engine house where seventeen dead bodies are laid out presents a sight that brings back army days Other dead are around in the wrecks of their homes, where enough was left for shelter, or sent to the houses of friends. The furniture scattered throughout the stricken district indicates the class ■ of people whose homes have been levelled Rich furniture and carpetings are buried in the debris and mud, while fine pianos are turned upside down or scattered iu fragments over the prairie. ANOTHER TOWN DEVASTATED. MALCOLM, IOWA, June 17.—A ter rible cyclone passed over here at 9:30 to-night. We have found five dead and the wounded are numerous. Five of the best business houses are demol ished, including the Gazette office, both churches and one-third of the dwelling houses in the town are flat or badly damaged. The cyclone extended as far as we can hear, destroying and killing everything in its path. All is excitement here. At 1:20 the follow ing are the four dead : C. 11. Wheeler, old Mrs. Meyers, Mrs. O. Meyers, Mrs. Hall. A man and his son were blown into a well. The father climbiDg up the pump stock, pushing his child be fore him. South of Brooklyn a barn was destroyed and three people killed. Eleven dead bodies have been found at Malcolm. The only authentic news at 3 P. M. from Mt. Pleasant is that the night train was derailed. GREAT STORM AT ST LOUIS. ST. LOUIS, Juue 17.—The severest r storm that has visited this region for a ' very long time passed over the city be -3 tween twelve and oue o'clock this j morning. The wind attained a veloci -3 tjr of sixty-six miles an hour and did . very great aggregate damage, but so ! far as now known no single injury of 1 magnitude occcurred. Trees and fences I were prostrated in all sections of the » city, shutters, signs, chimneys, &c, blown down and general havoc among small things prevailed.
