As a great ninny persons ure enquiring thc relative cost of water and steam poweV, for manufacturing purposes, in connection with the projected steum factory iu our midst, we publish below a letter from experienced manufacturers to a gentleman in Newberry, which has been furnished us by a friend : DKAR Sm: Yours of the luth ult. cunio lo baud. Wo uro glad to boar of your progr?s* in your Colton Mill entorprlso. We are specially glad to hear something definite regarding your prospective chanco for getting fuel. After netunlly obtaining tho facilities you mention, it will not bo necessary tit usc tho coal, pro viding you cati Hccuro wood, mid it moro economically thnn coal. In other word?, tho chunco to buy ooal ut gi f>u will keep tho tirico of wood lower. On tho assumption, howover, that you use coal ut $4.50 per ton of 2,000 lbs., tho ex penso for your fud would be about us foll ow? : With !. firat-elnKH urruiigemout of Bteaui-power, you would burn say 3 lbs. of coal por unrso-powor por hour; for 10,000 spindles required, about ?loo horse-power; lionet, ooo Iba. per hour and 12 hourn per day, 10.800 lbs. ; r> 4-10 tons of 2,000 lbs. each, MIIH nt HN per ton, $24.30 por dav, and lor 300 working dayH 97,200, ur say ?7,300. To oifsot this cost for fud, we may mention Min following : SuppoHo your Mili of 10,000 spindles coat Ray $30,000 IOKH than ti wotor-power Mill, (unu rai tho largor number of tho host ones in tho South have been built, mis estimate ts low.) In toroa t on this nt (J per cent.$1800 00 Again, if you had n wator-powor fully one-sixth of tho above amount would bo retiulrod mr h touro for boating Mill and for t.lasher.'], say por yoar. 1200 00 Again, if you can save Ct) ono quarlor cunt per lb. on cotton, this, at ?,iXK) lbs. per day for 300 days. 4500 00 $7500 00 Assuming tho foregoing figures to bo correct, it would neem that In your loca tion tho foul mattel- is about balanced by your ndvnntngcs. Thom is mino expense in labor for engineer and firemen, but lt costa HOinotbiitg for labor willi water wheels to run thom, koop nicks clear, Ac There aro other advantages in your loca tion in a town that must not be over looked. You huvo no nchool-bouso, chnpol. atoros, ftc., to build, neither hnvo you HO ninny toneuionts to build. You will hnvo no teaming oxpenso to ship goods, ftc, tho railroad is so convenient to your lot. Hut perhaps all thone and more points you already know, but us you requested wo write what oceui? ?o u?. The figures given by Mesara. Lock wood, Green & Co., who are practical mill engineers, are certainly favorable enough to steam power, but we think they place ?Dterest entirely too low when they name six per cent. That is the prevailing rate in New Englaud, but ton per cent, is the ruling rate herc, and it has never been less than seven since the war, so that it will be seen that their figures are rather uuder thau ubove the proper sam in enumerating the ad vantages of steam power. Situated as wo expect the mill in Anderson to be it ought to he able easily to compete with mills propelled by water-power. MB. RANDALL AND TUE SPEAKER SHIP. Tho policy of abuse which some Dem ocratic papers arc assuming towards Mr. Randall's candidacy for the .speakership is, we think, extremely ill-timed, and can result in no good to the Democracy nor io Mr. Randall's opponents. Wo do not agree to Mr. EasdsU's tariff principie?, and think it would be a blunder, and perhaps a serious one, to elect him speak* er, but at the same time it must be ad mitted that be would in all other respecta make the best speaker that could be ejected. He bas made a shrewd and safe counsellor for the party in all of its partisan fights, and has never hesitated to strike where he could be of Bcrvice. Therefore, while it is proper to oppree his election as speaker, we do not ?ee any justification whatever for the vindictiveness with which it is done. Mr. Randall is not likely to bo speaker if bis opponents do not go too far in abusing him, and thereby create a sympathy and reaction in his favor. The people like fair play* and the safest way to ensure Mr. Randall's defeat is to appeal to their judgment and reason. It seems to us that it should bo easy enough to con vi tico mon who favor a low tariff that they cannot with propriety elect as ?peaker a high tariff man, for by so doing they give over the formation of the committees and similar powers to a man who will use them to defeat their views upon tariff legislation. Bat when it cornea to abusing ?o eminent and faith* fol a Democrat as Mr. Randall, because be differs from the majority bf the party AB thia question, there Is danger of arousing the sentiment which guarantees the righi of opinion in a government like oura, .iud thereby giving him a strength which comes from sympathy. We should like io see the iou e and tem* pet of Democratic discussion that of reason, arni not passion or prejudice. Thc discussion of public questions with deliberation and kindness would augur better for success next y eur than the reckless personal vindictiveness which is too often resorted to. Abuse has never eui md a presidential election in tins country. Persuasive argument has done it. It would, therefore, bc well for the I Democratic prcis to remember this, and as it is conceded that the election of -peaker will exert its influence upon the presiden lilli eic? lion, it might he well for us lo begin the exercise of temp?rance, at least in thc expression of our views ?is to tito coming speakership. The I'hrvnirte says that free truders in tho Inked fr?tales acense protection of "concentrating wealth in a few hands." That's exactly what free trade appear* lo have done for England. There are very few free traders, properly speaking, in thc United Statis. The mass of citizens who oppose tho present tariff lawn favor a turill'for revenue only. If, however, it conc?ntrales wealth in ibo hands of a few to reduce lite price of sugar from ten to .rix cent? per pound, and other article- of iiecesuly und com fort, wc must coufe- > mat we should I ?

THE DEATH-DEA LIMJ CYCLONE. Sitee|>h Over I'vrlloua ol WIMCOIIHIM UIHI H?lm!*, II A< i N K, Wis , .May 19.-Tho li mt cy clone in the history of this eily ?truck li.:cine at 7 o'clock last night, parsing through thc extreme Northwestern por tion of the city, demolishing iso houses and barns and killing about 20 persons, beside injuring 100 others more or less seriously. The day was ushered in bright mid cool, with a fresh wind blow ing from thc .Southeast. Towards noon th sky became overcast, and about 1 o'clock a sharp electric storm prevailed, ulthough but lillie rain fell. The sun again came out for about au hour during the afternoon, the temperature bei g about 70 degrees. Towards G o'clock heavy ma?9es of clouds again gathered in the West, portending a storm, and the air wau oppressively wann. The cyclone was announced by the breaking of the clouds, and it struck the earth with a noise which might be compared with thu noise and rumbling of u thousand rail road trains thundering over a bridge. Thc path (jf thc storm is a little over half a mile long and perhaps a quarter of a mile wide in this territory. A build ing is left standing here and there. Rriek and frame houses alike collapsed, and the sites are marked only by heaps of debris. Many occupants of houses escaped by fleeing lo the cellars and other places of comparative safety, but the cyclone carno with such lightning quickness that many were killed beforo reaching the cellars. In only a few cases were houses moved from their foundations. Those in the middle of the storm centre simply fell in ruins where they had stood. Some nearer to lite circumference were turned around, and it is reported that some light articles such as wagons were swept into the lake. Tho cyclone, as it moved from tho city out upon thc waters of Lake Michi gan, presented n grand spectacle. Whirl ing columns of air seemed, as they flew over the watery expanse, to be bearing with them xpirnl columns of water, and no ship that encountered this monster of nir could by any possibility escape destruction. All the physicians of the city responded nobly tn the call for assis tance and did what they could lo ai lc v? alo the sufferings of the wounded, who were at once conveyed to St. Luke's and St. Mary's Hospitals. Thc deud were taken, some to the houses of friends ond Others to the court house. Au inquest will bo held to day hy tho Coroner. LATER.-Tho investigation begun early this morning only served to swell tho list of casual)ties and make moro sweeping thu destruction occasioned by tho cvclone last night. It is now esti mated that fully twenty-five persons were killed and ono hundred injured. One hundred ami fifty houses were demolish ed, and had the cyclone struck tho busi ness centre the damage would not easily have been calculable At Western Un ion Junction, aoven miles West of Racine, many houses were wrecked nod ono youug man named Webber was killed. Up to noon tho list of thc dead had nut been fully obtained. Men are at wort clearing away the debris. Stepj are already being taken to relieve those in immediate want, and tho Mayor bas is sued a manifesto calling upon the citi zens for contributions to be left at the office of the City Treasurer. A special meeting of Council was called at 10 a. m., anu action was taken toward caring fur the dead and maimed and penniless. The Buffering ?H confined to the very Northern outskirts of the city, among laborers and mechauica, who owned their little property, which was completely swept away. A large brick dwelling, in which were fourteen people, was reduced to a huge pile of ruins. Not one of the inmates were more than slightly injured. The financial loss by the storm will not exceed $150,000. Tho buildings demol ished are principally frame structures, and individual losses range j rom ?.'WO to $7.000. DULUTH, MINN., May 10.-A wind sturm, amounting almost to a cyclone, passed over this place between 1 and 2 o'clock .derd ny afternoon. Several houses j demolished, countless lum* her piles scattered and sonni damage done the mills. No lives wero lost, so far as is known, nud no person was seri ously hurt. WATERTOWN, Wis., May 19.-Tho only damage done in Jefferson County by the cyclone was to orchards and win dow glass, though it is rumored that some buildings were blown down. CUSTON, IM.., May 19.-A terrible cyclone passed over this vicinity last night, doing a large amount of damage ana killing several people. The wind took a Southeasterly course and followed up Salt Creek in this County, on the line of which many houses wore totally destroyed. About six miles South of Clinton the wind tore down a house, killing Peter Clinton, his wife and eight year-old daughter and fatally injuring another child. A member of tho family named Bennison was seriously injured and many other families were more or less injured whoso names could not be obtained. The damage is very great. CHICAGO, May 19.--A train over the Galena division of the Northwestern Railroad which arrived last night brought the following meagre particulars of a cyclone near Harvard. Illinois: "Shortly before 6 o'clock last evening a dark cloud was seen hanging over Chemung, a small village near Harvard, A roaring sound wat heard and suddenly a funnel-shaped cyclone formed and swooped down on the place with fearful rapidity. Houses were torn to pieces like so many card boards whirled through ?he air, and largo buildings were leveled in an instant. There are no de?oite details, but it ia understood that a number of persons were killed and at least 20 wounded. Passing, to tho East, the storm struck Belvidere, doing consid erable damage. Here the wind changed to Northeast and widened to a mile. Lawrence, a small station six miles North of Harvard, waa badly damaged and ibo surrounding country was deso lated. STAUNTON, III., May 19.-At 1 o'clock last night a tornado passed about three miles Haft of here, totally demol ishing Livingstone's lino farm residence and dangerously injuring Mr. Living ?tone. Other buildings lu ibo vicinity were destroyed and orchards injured. A construction crew of about twenty-five men un the Springfield and Illinois Southeastern Kai I way were camping near Mrs. Olive's house, some of them sleeping in a large barn. All were seri ously injured. .Mr. Cantwell, u contrac tor, and Alva Merrel were instantly killed. A little girl, aged K years, can not recover. CHICAGO, May li?. A dispatch to tho Sen ' from Springfield, III., says : "The 'lainage caused by thc cyclone storm which visited this section of thc State last night was more appalling than was at lirst supposed. It struck the ground on Kl ?jab lie's farm, South nf the Junc tion, ami laid waste three dwellings mid ns many barns ami outhouses. Mr. He's house, a large two story-brick building, was entirely demolisher It was occu pied hy Mr. Hooker, t/ho . ta considera bly injured. A male ..t was nearly killed. Across the road from Hooker's place /chul?n Wei I ford's house was swept away by thc tornado, but no damage to life resulte!. A quarter of a mile further to the Northeast the house ol Mn, Kogl isl) wan torn to pieces ;<ud everything about the place was entirely destroyed. Mrs. Knglish was crushed and mangled by fulling timbers, but there uro hopes of her recovery. lier two little sous, Joseph and Thomas, were only slightly injured. The hurricane struck the earth again four miles Kast ol thc city, whero the little settlement of Kouml Prairies is situated, and played havoc with the lives and property of the farmers in that vicinity. Several persons who took refuge in cellars escaped uninjured, al though the houses were swept from over their heads. Henry Farbec was killed and twelve or fifteen persons were more or less injured. from Kouml Prairie lb? sturm swept on to Dawson, nine miles Northeast, but doing no sci ions damage till that point wa? reached. Here a number of houses were torn down and Mrs. Ferris was killed. At UulTalo, another little hamlet, Mrs. Thomas Chandler was killed by thc fall ing timbers of her bouse. Anothor storm is reported to have struck just Kast of Jacksonville and to have pursued a Northwestern course. It is sait) that ibo little hamlet of Letten burg, twenty-two miles West of Spring field, was destroyed and that eight per sons were killed and injured. Full par ticulars ure as yet unobtainable. The Public Highway;. Major James F. Hurl, State Senutor from York County, has addressed an open letter to the Commissioner of Ag riculture concerning the public higbwnys. Ho suggests the advisability of the Gen eral Assembly selecting a Commission of practical men lo revine thc present sys lcm of road maintenance. Aa a tempo rary makeshift hu thinks that (he Legis lature might adopt a pluii providing that nil roads bo mai ulai ned and worked by contract ; that each ublo-bodied person liable to road duty be required to pay a commutation tux in lieu of road duty; iluil such person bc allowed lo work under direction of the contractor ut a fixed ?KT dina in discharge, of his coin mutation tax ; that a small annual tux, if necessary, bo levied to defray tho ex pense of tho plan, and that thc contrac tor be required lo give bond and bo held responsible for thu condition of ibo road within his district nt all seasons of tho year. Such a plan, Senator Hart thinks, might bc worth trying until something better can bo hud, but what tho country will eventually demand will be a system of permanent roads which wheo one? established may bc maintained at trilling expense. In the Piedmont section of thc State, where the roads aro worst, the remedy is easiest, for tho hills ami roadbeds are lined with stone, which is well adapted to road-making. Major Hart's opinion is that a county engineer would bc uble to designate thc sections of each road where a permanent roadbed is most needed. The worst sections of such highways might ut small expense be macadamized to tho extent of an eight foot centro track for loaded vehicles, leaving a track on each side of dirt road This centro ttack would constitute the nucleus of a permanent road that could bo expanded to greater width os the country demanded it. Such a system would cost n great deal of money, but Major Hart estimates that "the sum of ??,vGO annuaiiy employed on one hun dred miles of tho^worst sections of road in York County would in a few years transform them into thoroughfares, pas sable at all seasons cf tbo year, and re paying to tho farmer tenfold tho cost ex pended." This system has been success fully tried in Canada. Major Hart says that "the system of hiring out the convict labor of the State is inhuman in its workings, subversive of prison disciplino cid of the true objects of punishment." Ho thinks that all convicts should be employed within the walls of the Penitentiary during their term of imprisonment ; but "rather than seo tho present pernicious system longer continued I (he) would prefer that each county might retain, if it so desired, so many of its short term convicts as it would provide for, to be employed under propor regulations on its public roads." it being, in his opinion, "eminently proper that the county, which under our present system pays for tbo arrest, de tention, trial and deportation of the criminal, should enjoy thc value of his services, rather than the State, wUch pays nono of this expense."-Nexca and Cburter. The Kentucky Democracy, LOUISVILLE, May 18.-At last night's session of the Democratic State Conven tion, after a number of ballots bad been taken, Captain James R. Hindtnan, late of the Federal army, was nominated for Lieutenant Governor over Captain Ailee, late a Confederate soldier. At 12:30 the Convention was still in session. LATER.-The Democratic State Con vention renominated by acclamation the present incumbents-General Fayette Hewitt as Auditor and James W. Tate as Treasurer. J. Desba Pickett, Super intendent of l'ub'uc Instruction, was re nominated on the first ballot. J. Pioctor Knott, who was yesterday nominated for Governor, was born near Lebanon, Ky., August 29, 1830 ; studied law, removed to Missouri in May, 1850, and was admitted to the bar in 1851; was elected to the State House of Rep resentatives of Missouri in 1857 and re signed in August, 1859: was appointed Attorney General of Missouri in the same month ; was unanimously nomina* nated for the same position by the Dem ocratio Convention and elected in Au gust, 1862; returned to Kentucky and commenced the practice of law io Leb anon in 1868 ; w?\s a member of the Fortieth, Forty-Out, Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth Congresses and was re-elected to the Fort v sixth Congress as a Demo crat, receiving 8,969 votes against 4,616 votes for Heldin, Republican, and 201 votes for Lewis, National. - The Cburier-Journai says that the election of Mr. Randall as speaker by the Democrats is simply p repos tetons. Now, "preposterous" is a good word ; It Is eloquent. Indeed, we are afraid it ex presses just what the Democrat? in Con gress propose to do, At the critical mo ment during the last fop? presidential campaigns the so-called leaders of tb? party have done something preposterous, Tlie Freedman's' Hnuk Swindle. Under the lash of the Democratic press and in deference to tiie opinion of honest men all over the country, the Republicans have for several years pa.?t been making a fitful effort to restore to tho ucgroes of thc South a portion of the money of which they were robbed by tho representative Republicans who liad charge of the 1'reedman's bank swindle. Sixty-two per cent, of the money will be paid, leaviog thirty-eight per cent, as thc profits of the Republican party. This money has been refunded under the pressure of Democratic opinion, and al the instance of Democratic Congress men. Rut restitution, in this instance, comes too late to cure the villainy or to prevent the suffering that resulted. The Freedman's bank was organized under the auspices of tho Republican party, and Republican "philanthropists" were placed in charge. They went to work ns carefully and a* systematically r>s pro fessional burglars. They established branches in all the principal cities of the .South, ?md had agents in ull the towns ami villages. They employed negro preachers tu insert au advertise ment of the swindling scheme between prayer and sermon, and by this meaos thousands of negroes were robbed of their haid earnings; thousands whose names never went into a pass book, who gave their money to "aven's" am! heard no more of it. The deposits of thc negroes, identified and unidentified, were spent hy the Republican leaders in riotous living. The bank was a swindling scheme from the start, and when the Republicans who bad it in charge discovered that tiley hud about exhausted the source of sup ply, they closed the doors of their bank and its branches, and ufler a while tho negroes found out that they had been robbed. The calamity was a very distressing one in all its phases. Every cent the negroes had made, representing economy in thc most unparalleled pover ty, disappeared in tho capacious pockets of tho Republican party. The statement that sixty-two per cent of the money thus stolen hus been paid back to the depositors is calculated to grossly deceive the public. It is to bo doubted whether ten per cent, of the amount deposited has been paid back to tho iiegroes. When the collapse of the bunk was announced thc Republicans in charge ol the institution waited uutil the utifuilunate negroes had beeu in n meas ure reconciled lo their losses, and then agents begau to appear in the South for the purpose of purchasing pass books. Thousands of claims upou the bunk thuH changed hands, nnd tho hulk of the sixty-two per cent, has been paid to Republicans who hold the pass books. I* rom beginning to end, tho freedman's b.mk is u swindle.-Atlanta Constitution. *'Boycot thc Rope." CllICAUO, May 17.-The Citizen, pub lished by John F. Finerty, member of Congress from the Third Illinois Dis trict, has the following editorial, headed "Roycot the Pope :" "Of all tho productions of Papal inter ference in ull'airs that, have marked tho policy of the Vntican from the days of Adrian IV to those of John XXII and from the reign of that pontiff to the present time, the last circular addressed by Reo XIII to the Irish bishops and clergy with regard to the Parnell fund is the most intolerably impertinent. If the Irish people sub mit cravenly to (his latest Italian lash, the whip being furnished by tho Pope's worthy olly, Victoria, by the grace of God, eke, Queen of Britain and Ireland and Empresa of India, they will forfeit, the respect of the world at largo. Rut what are they goiug to do aboutit? may be asked. We reply, let them hold public meetings throughout Ireland, pass resolu tions sternly denouncing any more of his lioliness's unholy intervention in Irish politics, and tell bim once for ail time, firmly and respectfully, to mind his own business ns head of the Catholic Church. They might supplement this action by resolving not to contribute a Bingle cent of Peter's pence while Leo XIII occupies the papal chair, or nt least until he quita hi? palpable and scandalous political alliance with the arch enemy of the Irish nation and race. In a word, we advise our countrymen if they have any respect for themselves, for Ireland, to boycot the Pope and teach him a lesson that may be seviccable to his successors. Cut off some of the monetary supplies of Leo XIII and teach him without being miaundeistood that the Irish race cannot bo bulldozed into slavery by the bayonets of England or by the thunders of Rome. We hope that the Irish bish ops and clergy will have the courage and bscVbuiitt iu resfcul ibis Roman outrage on their patriotism. Ireland will stand by them against Pope Leo and every other foreign busybody, be he Saxon or ?tn* mu? - A New York letter of Wednesday sayti : "The dry goods manufacturers, commission houses and jobbers, having failed to obtain from the trunk lines such a reclassification of west-bound freights as will enable them to compete with the Southern mills in the marketa beyond the Ohio, have determined to 'appeal unto Caesar'-in other words, the State Railway Commissiou. To that end this body have issued a notification to the Chamber of Commerce, stating that in response to their wishes they will give the dry goods merchants a hearing to-morrow afternoon. The invitation will be eagerly accepted, anda full meet ing of the various parties in interest, therefore, is anticipated. In this matter, it is just possible the dry goods people are expecting too much at the hands of tho State commissioners. One of the members of that commission, in a con versation on the subject awhile ago re marked, that their powers were too lim ited to meet complaints of this character, which in point of fact grow quite as much out of competition between differ ent eections cf the country, as from rail road discriminations. 'We can regulate traffic and redress grievances within the geographical limits of the State of New York,' said he, 'but what can we do in States over which we have no jurisdic tion? Westbound traffic traverses half a dozen different States, and no one State Government, therefore, is compe tent to dell with the question as an en tirety. The whole thing must ultimate ly be referred to Congress, which alone has the enlarged powers that are needed to enforce justice as between the railroad corporations and the public in and through all the States.' If this view of the matter ia to be accepted, 'ho meeting to-morrow, asido from a wholesome agi tation of the subject, will I? unable practically to accomplish much ,** - One year ago Oen. Robert C. Sch o nek was said to be dying of Bright's disease. The physicians surrendered his case and left him in the hands of Providence. The General cured himself by change of diet. He came down to milk and tomatoes. He ate nothing else for a year. Now he is ali right again and may eat of whatsoever bo plcasetb with impunity. The Inter-Cheon draws this sound moral : "Half the illa that flesh ia heir to may be averted by adopt ing a proper regimen. The character of food we take and the manner in which we take it are the prime causes of many of the worst disorders from which men suffer. Dieting is too little understood. There is not enough attention given to the choice of foods and the care of cooking. Let the stomach be rightly attended to, and the brain and other functions Sn which diseases lodge will bava less room to harbor the vagrant enemies of life and sweet content." - Tho Rov.
