It ex? tended along the entire Atlantic coast. In this city and neighborhood, much damage was done to houses and shipping, and several pain? ful casualties occnrred. The tide rose so high on the east side of thc city, that thc cellars along South street were filled with water, and Fulton market was partially submerged. Houses were blown down, and thc roofs sent whirling through the air in all directions. The fall of a portion of the wall of thc burnt Phelan A Collendar building, in Crosby street, came near crushing to death the pas? sengers of a passing horse car. In Brooklyn a young lady, Miss Ellen Creed, aged nineteen years, was dashed to the sidewalk by the wind, and with such force as to wound her head and cause her death in two hours. A more serious accident took piace in West For? ty-sixth Rtrcet, west of Eleventh avenue. A badly constructed tenement house fell, crush? ing a Bmall one-story house by its side, and killing a whole family, consisting of a man, his wife and three children. The distressing calamity occasioned much feeling in the upper part of the city, and attracted large crowds of people to thc spot." Penny Wisc and Pound Foolish. Congress in its financial measures re? minds one of a bevy of boys pitching cents. Now the little gamblers are quarrelling to desperation for the saving of a single coin; now they throw money away by the handful. That the government is spending money in a style hitherto unprecedented is evident from the speech of Mr. Dawes, who, before he came to an understanding with the ad? ministration, reported that he had vainly sought to effect retrenchment in the public expenditures, by appeals at either end of the avenue. It appears from the uncontroverted assertion of Mr. Voorhee3 that over $100, 000,000 of the reserve fund from Mr. Johnson's administration has been expended durin? the first year of Mr. Grant. It appears from the statement of the Secretary of the Interior that one-third of bis clerical force is unnec? essary, and from the acknowledged fact that a reduction of at least that amount ought to be made in the Treasury Depart? ment-an abatement in money of $5,000,000 annually. It appears from the hair-brained folly of the Funding bill, which will, it is com? puted, just double the national debt. And new outlets for the public revenue are sought for. Bounties are asked for the shipping interest, which is depressed by the tarifT, and would flourish "like a green bay "tree," if just let alone. The trifling Bum of S100,000 is asked to get Captain Hall to the North Pole: why not send him to Alaska for a hundredth part of that amount? The President becomes a lobbyist, and resorts to an antechamber of the House to interview the members and secure the annexation of San Domingo, which will cost the United States thousands cf lives and untold millions of treasure. And all the while the Radical appointees, like Collector Bailey, are steal? ing and forging and blackmailing in every direction. We, of course, have no right to protest against any of these extravagances. It is ou, dui* t? njote? lu tuc inn liege or be? longing to "the besi, government the world "ever saw." We try to be grateful, and pay our taxes, and send our cotton to Europe to prevent the country from being drained of specie, and shut our mouths when the finan? cial credit, due to the South, is assigned to Grant and hi3 administration. But one is tempted to be disloyally garrulous when all the services of the South to the general gov? ernment are made worthless by a set of knaves anti fools. Congress prolongs the odi? ous and unconstitutional income tax, and as a set-off cuts down the franking privilege. It maintains an array of clerks and relegates to the poorhouse an army of veterans. The same policy is being pursued in our State. Great public Interests are neglected in order that private gains may be assured. The people are tricked with promises; local politicians are silenced with petty office.? : while gre ' onopolies are established which give princely wealth to a few corrupt capi? talists and slippery officials. We are told that in Edgelield County certain wornout and well-nigh worthless fields have been bought for $10 an acre-a transaction which has demoralized whole neighborhoods where the freedmen will take fragments of the land, io be paid for, or returned hereafter, and tvhen the planters are quite willing to sell i ill the lauds they have at that price-es >eciaUy now, when the labor is withdrawn rom them. The Citizens' Party has a great wort to 1 io. And in our hum bb judgment it would j cof service^ not only to South Carolina, I \xt to the UDited States. We needy all of ? s, everywhere to contend against political orrnption wherever it can be found. And < : is as rife in Washington as it is in Colum- j ia. We cannot see any reason why true ' latrioiB in every State shall not enter into " .53ociation to refocm the government and j ave it from financial ruin. I Kadge Orr on thc Political Situation: in. ] th? South. i ? One statement attributed to Judge Orr. in- : M : conversation with a reporter of the New. o rk Tribune, printed in TUE. NEWS of yas y-day, must doubile3a be taken with a ma* ?rial qualification. \ It may be the opinion of Judge Orr that ,; 'no organization antagonistic- to thc Repub- : 'Hean party can bc successful in South Chr 'olina for the nexLten year3," but this i&no j easou why the CEEZBXS' PASTY should not ? ucceed.in less thaa,ten months, and bethe lioneer of a vast political change, in which he whole Seuth shall have part. The-Re- \ lublicau party a essentiatiy the party of - ?egro emancipation and. Negro suffrage. - Jpon the3t> points the contest has been? made, . md now that the Souther? whites, wlx) are 1 tot Radicals, admit and guarantee bf'th the reedom of the colored people and their full ivil and political equality, the Republican ?arty, as a party and in connection with ocal affairs, has no distinctive character in ( South Carolina or any other Southern j state. Upon Federal issues the State ' >f South Carolina may vote with the \ Republicans of the North, who are widely j lifferent from the Radicals of the South. In : :hose Federal question? there may be but J >ne thing to study-Which party wilt do the ] most for the people an.I ;he State, for their'! protection, their progress and their agricul? tural and mechanical advancement ? But these, at this time, are outside mat? ters. What we have to deal with now is not thc United States, but South Carolina, and when the CITIZENS of the State sponta? neously form a mighty party whose aim is good government, not political triumph, we believe that they, and their endeavors, will have the hearty co-operation and assistance of Jame? L. Orr, of every man, whatever his politics or race, wbo finds his own for? tune and security in the safety and well? being of the State. Down with the Taxes ! The clamor for a reduction of taxation continues to grow louder and louder. The press throughout the country are requiring of Congress immediate attention to this most urgent subject. "Congress, however," says the New York Times, editorially, "admitting "the justice of this appeal, folds its arms in "apathy, and wastes week after week in dis "cussions on personal affairs, or on the pet "tiest questions which the ingenuity of tri "flers could possibly suggest." The poor are pinched by the taxes almost "beyond the limits of endurance, and find themselves de? prived of many small necessaries of life by the levies which are made upon them by the tax-gatherer. The Times, becoming alarm? ed at the procrastination of Congress in t'?is regard, says it will imperil the existence of the Bepublican party, if the leaders are not very careful, and closes an able article on this topic as follows: "The people will not "always submit to be 'put off' like children. "They will have relief from taxation, if not "from one party, from another. Four months "have been frittered away already. Is not "this enough to satisfy the greatest admir "er3 of a Fabian policy? We can only once "more warn Congress that further delays "may exasperate the people in a way which "no one need be anxious to witness. Shall "we have to record the lapse of another "week without a siugle step being taken to "ward a settlement of this question? The Southern Press Association. The annual convention of the Southern Press Association will be held in Savannah, Ga?, on April 25th. This association is of vase importance to Southern journalism, now a power in the land, and we hope that the attendance at the convention will be even iarser than at the last two anniversaries. A PROPOSITION is made by the leading cit? izens of Horry to nominate Captain T. C. Dunn, of Little River, S. C., for Congress, in place of the notorious Whitemore. Cap? tain Dunn is a native of Massachusetts, and a moderate Bepublican. He settled in Horry in 18C5, bought a plantation, and, holding himself aloof from politics, has become throughly identified with the interests of the State. The cardinal principle of the CITI? ZENS' PARTY movement is MEN, not PARTY. Captain Dunn would be a strong and vigor? ous candidate, and his Republic au ?3 ni is nothing against him in the face of his respec? tability. Ho fient.
