however, bo advised through these dispatches
that tho question of a successor has long since
been settled. ilr. McLaughlin some time ngo, ah
early as July 1. notified tho Buaidtbatho could
no longer servo at the present salary, and there

far, for it has been well understood, if auj
change occurred in thia particular ohlco, Mr.
James U. Paddock, now of the Chief Grain In-
Htioctor'rt office, of Chicago, wus to have tho

runs, Hopt, B.—Tho adjourned mooting in
support of international arbitration was hold to
night. Tho forty Kmrli-di delegates woro pres
ent, the French audience being very limited.
M. Desmoulins again presided, ami in an open
ing speech commented on 2,00t),000 men io
Europe being taken away from their families
and workshops to support what was called
armed peace—au illogical and barbarous
system which it was high time to abol
ish. It wns far too much to expert
that a system of centuries* standing
should ho given up a’l at once, hut publio opin
ion must insist on peace being more and more
valued nnd disarmament being more and more
practiced. HI. Eellairo. Secretary of tlm So
ciety of tho Friends of I'oaco, dwelt on 20i>.•
OuO.OOOf. being devoted in Europe to education
and ID.OOP.nOd.COUf. to military purposes. Ho re
ferred to tho number of international disputes
which had been peaceably adjusted, condemned
the absence of compulsory gratuitous educa
tion iu France, and denounced standing armies
nu loading inevitably to war, ignorance,
and despotism. After glancing at (he
disaster!) caused by tho last war, the but mad
noso of tho imperial regime, ho recommended
organised petitioning in favor of arbittuiion. Tho
war plebiscite, ho said, woo imposed upon us;
lot us now have tho peace plebiscite. Ho men
tioned Garibaldi as one of tho advocates of arbi
tration, and his unmo was loudly cheered. M.
Limousin, of tbo Iklmls, romaiked that for five
years many Democrats who formerly advocated
peace and disatiunmoul had beeotuo advocates
of otnmmeuts. This was one of tbo cou»e
(piuncos of the Inat war, for tho Republican
party wauled to get back tho lost Froviuccs.
Smiultanowiia disarmament should bo negotiated
for. and, if other couutrieu refused,
having no thouguta of un oiroumvo war, might
content itself with tho Swiss military system.
In considering a way for tho restoration of
Alauco and Lorraine, words which mode every
Fieuchiimu'a heart throb, tho loss of iifo
it would email should bo reflected nn,
[Murmurs.] Ho dm not rononneo tbo vo
acquisition of those Provinces, but tbera wore
other menus thuu war of obtaining it. If Gur
iiinuy continued tu oppress them, they would at
a given moment claim (heir right to dispose of
their own ciwlimos, and tho Court of Arbitra
tion would do them Justice, It wao tno idea of
revenge which should bu abandoned, for thin
would load to war after war. rovaugo alter re
vonge, ud tniinttuai. Au ozcilod Alsatian m tbo
body of tho null ui against HI. Limouam'u
remarks os to ms native Province. The follow
ing resolution was at this stage carried imant
tbdliHly: ,
That tills Conference enters its solemn protest
ojrslnat tbo pre-.ent :nutil ecu Jltiuii uf Hurup«, as bu
lug an lutoli-Mb.o ludiutry, a fearful bind
ranco to clvlUiaLuu, a lilagracu to tho atatramausUlp
of the age, ami as calgnlatcd to provoke hoslllUiw aud
load lo tbo struggles which Qovcmmeuts profess thom
■olvfs anxious to avoid.
Mr. Joseph Arch was the next speaker. Ho
referred to Uour being iM a sack during the Cri
mean War, tho s<*nonUnrnl laborer’s average
wages being onlv 11 shillings a week. Other
classes whoso income was taken away by war
could fall ‘back on their savings, but workingmen
were at once reduced to beggary. Commenting
ou tho fact stated by a previous speaker that
117,00 U children-in Paris wore excluded from
school by want of accommodation, ho spoke of
the anxiety of tho English artisan population
to educate their ohddiou so as to
make them useful members of society.
Tho rural population wore sharing tbo
same feeling. Ho eulogized tho Geneva Arbi
tration and MV. Gladstone's share in it, and ox*
liortcd the French workingmou to petition for
arbitration. Why could thorn not be arbitra
tion before a war instead of after it? In tbo
course of his speech, Mr. Arab more than once
spoke of France os mi Empire, till ho was re
minded that Franco was a Republic, and he apol
ogized for tho blunder. Sir. Evans, editor of the
bmjtish laborer, urged French workingmen to
vole as well an petition for arbitration. If they
took up tho cause, ho and lus friends would go
to Germany also, wbero he behoved they would
find an equally favorable response. Liberty
could only be insured by j,o*co. Mr. W. it.
Cromer. Secretary of the Workmen’s Foaco As
sociation, declared time tho war was duo to the
French Protects in 1370. As to tho popular de
sire for peace—he did not, however, allude to
tho war enthusiasm of the Parisians—bo quoted
Lord Aberdenu’-i remark that nations with great
standing arnucp were like boys with knives who
would bo cutting sticks with them. On a future
visit ho hoped to find the state of siege removed,
eo that a public meeting could be hold Tbe
Pariaiuns were groaning under a state of despot
ism unparalleled in Europe, and some present
vote almost afraid to express tbelr opinions lest
they should be placed uudar espionage. Tbelr
patience bad won them golden opinions among
tho English masses, who anew that if this peace
ful attitude was maintained the Republic would
be consolidated. It depended on tbe peaceful
attitude of the Parisians whether Republic
anism should extend itself to tlio various
nations of tbe Continent or he crushed out for
generations. If they allowed themselves to bo
goaded into another insurrection, tbo Republican
idea would be crushed out for goaeratlons. A
Frenchman, whoso name was not stated, con
tended that tbo best means of getting rid of war
would be to substitute the Republican for tho
Monarchical idea. 31. Notollo protested against
this remark as Irrelevant. After some remarks
from Mr. Liudaay, of Aberdeen, it was resolved :
That, os the working clums of tbs various nations
have no esuao of (jturrul with each other, thsir Intercut
bring everywhere Identical, this Conference expresses
the hope that tbo workmen of all countries wUI as
speidlly u possible organliui a movement to secure
permanent pesos vote for rarliamantary candi
d-doe pledged to arbitration, believing that when
this Is done farlUments end statesmen will soon dis
cover menus to eflsci a practical application of the
priu clplo.
It was also resolved:
Thst tho Peace Ateodallon be in*
Tiled to take the luitUtlw of orgeuiziOM the working
cheece of Kuropo to wrr y out the objects eat forth iu
the previoue resolution.
Tlio lost resolution wu as follows :

Information received from East Bernard
County stales that the entire section is under

From Brazoria County, we learn that the
town of Velasco is cutuoly swept away, and
not a house is left to indicate wiico it stood.
Not a lifo was lost, and 17d persons, among them
Judge Cub Cook, of tfae Criminal Court, and
family, wore miraculously saved in the following
manner: When tho storm had raged for some
time, tho surging sea had entirely am-rounded
their place, and the billows began to iu*
vado tho houses. The entire population worn
huddled In the upper apaitmouts of tho
largest building in town, but when it was seen
that the uca aud aUmn were about to sweep it
away, the men, who wore up to their neckN in
water, with tho aid of a email boat, got off tho
women Into a schooner aud gut aboard thorn*
solves. Among thorn was Col. Cook ; be lashed
tho vessel lint 10 one tree and then to nuoihor
as they wore polled up by the roots, and thus
rode out tbo storm. Tbo bonao from which they
escaped was swept off shortly after they loft it,
with eight mules. On the laud side of Velasco,
iho sea was Q feat dasp during the storm.
The largo steamer Australia Is stranded In the

In H foot of water. Hhe rescued oil tho Inhab*
Itauts of the Town of Bernard except thirteen.
Among those known to bo lost aro Sin. Hern

Culpepper, and Mrs. Wmsted and daughter, of
Columbus.
Through like sources comes what appears to
be authentic information that the town of Mata-
Eotda is almost totally destroyed, only four
ousos being loft.
The Lower Drozoe country Is reported an al
most totally destroyed, sugar-boutoe blown
away, and plantations wrecked.
From a letter received by (be agents of the
Morgan Lino from tho agent at IndUuola. wo
get the following additional particulars: “Ilia
my painful duty to advise you of tho almost en
tire destruction of ludiauola by the etorm from
the 15th to the 17th test. On the aftornoou of
the tfiih tbe wind blew strong from tbe east, in*
meaning until 9p. m. of the 16ib, hauling then
to the northwest, from which quarter It oamo in
a perfect hurricane until 1) a. m. of tbe 18th.
Tho distinction of property m the town
has been immense, over 200 bouios having boon
swept entirely sway and those that remained
have beau torn all to pieces. The loss of life
hors and at Relurla will approximate 150 (o 8(>0.
At flaluria I understand the whole force of the
pilots; with tbe exception of Cant. Ham Drown,
uro drowned. The wharf properly la Injured
very umoh. There was a great deal of damage
between tble place and Cherry Lake."
A OrUant I'ltnet. ityr, 21.
In the different lakes aod bays on tbe coset
tbe water bad risen during the storm to an un
precedented height, flooding the marshes and
swamps, ana covering many places, drowning
scores of cattle, moles, and hogs, aud devastat
ing the country gonera’lv.
A, gentleman who oaiue from the Tecno coun
try slates that tbe gale there did immense in
jury to tbe cane, leveling much of.it to the
ground, and tho waters in the different bayous
and streams swept over llio taller*, flooding
everything.
The Times' mall advice*, while they do not
fully confirm the Pigment made that the lo*a
t > (lie City of OnlTcnton alone would amount lo
♦1.000,000, more than coirohorato previous
statement* relative to destitution and loss of
property.
In this connection It is proper to add

Tho pain continued to blow until 1 o’clock

tlon of tho storm in visible on overv band. At

that our beautiful Devon City, with it* shaded
aveuucs aud floral walks, present* a scouo of do*

othor business men imvo Buffered very heavily
indeed, many of whom, if not all, had hut a

At a late hour yesterday afternoon wo viewed

liko racing rivers, as tb*y tear through the for

Tho last that bad been seen of ber was
during tho evening, when she was
seen following IQU yards behind a young
boy, her nephew, both of whom it was supposed
wore going to an oichord a half aiilo distant.
It appears that tho boy had gotten a considerable
distance ahead of the young lady, when bo sud
denly beard her crying out "Tommy I Tommy I"
as if sbo were in distress, lie hurriedly re
traced his steps to the place from whence
tho call appeared to come, but ho
could neither hoar nor see nothing,
although bo called out sovoral times.
