M Tels^rnphlo?Foreigri News. London, May 5.?The House of Com? mons wm engaged In s debate,,but night on a motion made by the Marquis Of Huntington, that the House do not enter? tain any complaint with' respect to the pabliostion of its proceedings, except in oases of willful misrepresentation, or 'then the publication thereof is expressly prohibited, and that strangers are not to be ordered to withdraw from the galle? ries, unless they are disorderly or by rote of the House Mr. D'Israeli op? posed any curtailment of the privilege. The House was able to deal with the in? convenience caused by tho present me? thod of excluding strangers, by suspend? ing the rule permitting a single member to order their withdrawal. Mr. Low denounced a continuance of the ano mally. At this stage of the debate, Mr. Sullivan called attention to the presence of strangers, and the galleries were accordingly cleared. The dobnf* on the Marquis of Huntington's motion was'ad? journed till May 25. The Standard severely criticises the letter from Mr. Gladstone, read at the centennial celebration of the battle of Lexington. It remarks that the habit of toadying to Americans is discreditable in English publio men and journalists. The results of the republican experiment in the United States are corruption of publio life, extinction of publio spirit, oppression of the minority, disgust of honorable men with political life, and the transfer of the Government into the hands of corrupt, unscrupulous and igno? rant men. Tue Times folly endorses Gladstone's letter, and says it would be melancholy if the first great attempt to complete their independence should re? sult m social anarchy. ' Although 'there is nothing at present to justify such fears* grave evils exist in some American institutions, which must bo remedied if progress is to be kept up.

These troops were accompanied by United States Marshals, who had ficti? tious warrants, with citizens' names pro? minently displayed and shown to per? sons who would inform upon them, were Earaded in several Counties. I shot a olo in my hat, and reported that I had been attacked by Ku Klux, and I sent troops to arrest the mythical ttssailants. I kept the troops as long as I could use them as a political machine. Our pur? pose was tu secure tho Legislature at all hazards, and elect Spencer. A number of witnesses testify to the use of money to effect the some purpose. Yesterday's Market Reports.

The Cyclone. The special correspondent of the Con-1 stiiutionaivit, writing from Covington, I Go., says: Your correspondent is enabled to iudi-1 cute, with some degrco of accuracy at I this hour, the truck of the cyclone | through a portion of Georgia. Passing through Clayton County with local da- I mage, now not ascertained, it entered Henry County, and traversed it with re-1 markable devastation as reported. Edg- I ing Rockdalo, a small new County, it demolished the dwelling and out-houses of Mr. Thomas Oglcsby, killing cows, horses and hogs, and injuring fencing I and destroying trees on his place. The I limits of Newton County were entered ut I Judge Joseph Regan's, on South River, blowing everything away in its path. A man and two negroes are reliably re ported to have been here killed, and Mr. I Tread way, living on Cotton Creek, to I have been caught up and carried away, I and to he yet missing in spite of search. I Widow Holloway's house was blown down and that lady very terribly I wounded, several of her ribs being broken and torn from her back by falling timbers; and several of Mr. W. F. Harden s children were seriously hurt. Mrs. E. I M. Melton was badly injured by broken rafters. Six miles West of Covington, I ('apt. G. M. Cunningham suffered the total loss of his mansion and its con tents. Cats, chickens and guineas were killed on the place by the furious blasts. I A negro named Andrew Tillman, in an I out-house, was struck on the forehead I over the loft eye by a descending rafter, the skull fractured, and several pieces of I bone driven into the brain. These were I extracted, and a tablc-npoonful of brains I taken out, and the negro is doing well. At Burdstown, several persons were killed and many wounded. At Waynes-1 boro, one woman was killed and not a tree, fence, gin-honse or cotton screw left standing. At West Point, several houses were blown down and several persons injured. A correspondent of the Chronicle and I Sentinel writes that Jefferson County was visited by the tornado. It crossed the I Ogeechec near Fenn's Bridge, and passed I in a direct line from West to East, pass-1 ing over the plantations of Messrs J. N. I Bothea, Wm. Sinquefield, M. D. Cason, I G. Noble Jones, J. H. Cain, ostato W. H. Batty and W. A. Stokes in this County, I and H. D. Greenwood, Henry Daw son, 1 Si Hudson and Col. Alexander C. Walker in Burke County. Mr. Sinquefield was the greatest sufferer in Jefferson County. Every house on his place, save the dwelling, was blown down, and it was very much injured?the doors and win- j dows all being blown out and a brick pillar, four feet high, blown from under the centre of the house. Not a single house is left standing on Col. Walker's place. He is truly to bo pitied. The great tornado of last month visited and demolished his Richmond County plan tat ion and residence, and now this one has devastated his place in Burke County. A little son of Mr. Rufus Jor-1 dan, about ten years old, who was just in I the edge of it, was blown out of an ox cart, which he was driving, but not in 1'ured. This is the third tornado which 1 las visited this County within a few weeks. Harris County was visited with the I fifth tornado since the 20th of March on I lost Saturday. The cyclone was terri- j ble. It scattered the dwellings, out? houses, fences and everything else on Hory Williams' place, wounding several of his people. Going directly East it played havoc with the farm of Henry E. Morse, two miles South of Whitesville. There is not a house of any kind left on his place. Six negroes were killed by the falling timbers. Mrs. Morso is wounded, it is feared, fatally, and several others of the family slightly. After going about a mile and a half farther East, John Booker's place was crossed and all his tenants were scattered to the winds. Tho report of the number of killed and wounded there is conflicting. Tho Widow Smith's, about a milo fur? ther East, was the next place in the path of the tornado. There was no one killed there, but tho list of wounded is large, and the amount of damage is considera? ble. W. C. Davis' house, about three quarters of a mile further, was the next house that chanced to he in tho track of the wind storm. His honso was blown down, his leg broke, his wife's leg broke and three or four children injured. Af? ter a whilo it gathered unusual strength, and, attacking the Baptist Church, utterly demolished it; in fact, "one* stone was not left on another." Four negroes were killed and six or soven wounded by the falling of Judge Spencc's building. It struck Murray A Spcnco's mill, and did not leave a timber standing. Jourdan Reiley, the negro miller, was killod and three white men were wounded. It struck Calvin Teel's placo, loaving not a building _ standing. Then it com? menced its ravages on Col. James R. Mobley's place. His gin-house, and all his out-houses were blown down and six negroes wounded. Around West Point, it demolished all the out-houses on ex-Mayor Reed's place. A large wagon was picked up ana car? ried across Chattanoocb.ee River. At Collier's farm, in Alabama, three miles from the city, all the out-houses were destroyed and three negroes killod. An? other hurricane passed South of here? ten miles?through Berlin, Ala., destroy? ing houses of all ainds on the places of John Booker, where it seriously, if not fatally, wounded the wife of the pro? prietor and killed all his mules; of P. O. Collins, where it wrecked everything but killed no one, and J. J. Benton's, where it tore down all the out-houses and killed one negro. In Henry and Clayton Counties, Satur? day's storm was very destructive. From McConnel'8, in Clayton County, it swept down Cotton and Indian Creeks, through Clayton and Honry Counties, crossing the road between McDonough and Doca tur, destroying every house on a Mr. Johnson's place, then on Hightower's and throe other plantations, names not known, all torn up. In one Instance, a fblk?S4toil was driven through a tree, and raekn were driven into trees like Minie bolls. One child blown off has not been found, and Mr. Johnson was injured. Mr. R. H. Hightower, at Stockbridge, had a leg broken. Mra. Livingstone and her throe-tuontliH old baby were blown 100 yards into a gully. The outer rim passed A ikon, S. C, at 5.30 o'clock, pouring out great quantities of hail and wind, but doing no materiul damage. Mr. L. A. Burko writes from Midway, Barn well County, as follows: The hail came down like a brigade of artillery--smashed every pane of glass accessible to the winds, and split many shingles on the roof of the house. The hail was the size of guinea and hen eggs. The first plantation struck in Edgcfield was that of 8. N. Nicholson, near Meet? ing Street post office. The residence and other houses were demolished. Tho next, and in that neighborhood, was tho house of Mr. McGoe, who was badly wounded and his plantation ruined. From thence it rolled into Lexington ami Richlnnd, dealing death and devas? tation on every hand. Tho tornado passed over Spartanburg County, but uo tuna ui l?u ' has been re? ported. The worst part of the storm did not strike the town, but passed to the South and West, by Cedar Springs, and down the line of the Spartanbuxg and Union Railroad to l'acolct, leveling fences, forests and unroofing and over? turning many out-houses in its course. At present, it is impossible to make an accurate estimate of the damage done by this fearful visitant, but enough is known to render it certain thot it will reach hundreds of thousands of dollars, a loss which will at this time seriously embar? rass the farmers upon whoso shoulders it falb:. The Bloody Shibt Business.- -The Kublishcd declarations of Hon. W. P. elley, in regard to the condition of af? fairs in the South, excite the anger of tho third term schemers. The kitchen organ of the White House, yesterday morning, spoko very disrespectfully of Judge Kel ley; and two members of the Cabinet, in speaking of hiin to-day, wore still more severe, but Judge Kelloy is not the only prominent Republican who has returned from a visit to the South with bis eyes opened. Henry Wilson bore equally strong testimony to tho loyalty and fealty of the Southern people to*the Union, anil to their disposition to deal justly by the colored man. The truth is, the Republi? cans have no other issue than the bloody shirt one on which to make the fall cam? paign. The only hope tho prominent leaders of that party hereabouts have, is that the fifty or sixty Confederate gene? rals elected to the Forty-fourth Congress will make egregious asses of thoiuselves. This, at the best, is a very slim thread to hang heavy hopes on, for, as a rnle, soldiers are not so radical and irrepressi? ble as the politicians, who were always valiant when there was no enemy in sight. Now, tho only two Southern men in the lust Congress who were at all in? discreet in their utterances, were not sol? diers; and, on the other hand, every Confederate general in the last Congress was conspicuous for bis conscrvative ness. Tukowino a Bados oveb tue Bloody Chasm.?A badge taken from the dead body of Lieut. J. A. Gage, who fell at the battlo of Spottsylvanin Court House, May 12, 1861, has recently been returned to 8. L. Gage, by Captain Dominiok, of Prosperity, South Carolina, who writes: "I would have returned it earlier, but did not know whero and to whom to send u. You ask where your brother was buried. In the trench, near where the treo was shot down. Any of bis com? pany know whero that was. It was ubout fifty yards North-east of tho troe. As ho was buried with a lot of soldiers, it would be nearly or quite impossible to distinguish his remains from those of his command. I can say he died at his post doing his duty nobly. Such is the result of war. I hope there is a better feeling existing North and South, and that we soon will be us in former years, one family as a nation." The badge was forwarded by express, und reached this city a day or two ago. It is probable thut Captain Dominick was present when the remains of tho officer were buried and took the badge from the body, und after having it in bis possession nearly eleven yvars, is finally able to return it to the * friends. His letter is the first satisfactory account received of where tho lieutenant was killed, and how ho was buried. [ WUliamspnri Gazette awl Bulletin. What is the Buffalo Gnat??An ex? change says: "The buffalo gnat, which is causing so much destruction in tho South-west, is a small insect, not more than half the size of the bouse fly, which suddenly appears in the air by millions and settles upon all all our four-footed animals within reach. A horse or cow will bo literally covered with them at night; in tho morning, tho animal will be found dead and swelled to an enormous size. The bito is very poisonous, and the wound quickly festers. Cattle own? ers find that tho most effective way of protecting their stock is to cover them with a coating of diluted tar, but if that cannot be done, fires are built and the smoke drives off tho insects. Amongst the wild animals, especially the deer, on the Arkansas side of the river, the ra? vages of the gnat are everywhere appa? rent Without any protection, the deer fall victims in largo numbers to this poisonous insect, which, however, does not touch man." Abobtion.?The victim in a recent case of malpractice in Philadelphia was a married woman, who, of her own plea? sure, submitted to the operation, which not only sacrificed the life of her off? spring, but terminated her own. The poor woman was, doubtless, ignorant or thoughtless of the awful crime she was committing, and she has paid for it so dearly that we may not jndge her; bnt it will be woll if her history lead other mothers to reflect not only on the risk bnt on the sin of this thing, a sin whiob surely brings its punishment As for the so-called physician, there is no plea of ignorance for him, and if the evidence taken before the Coroner, whioh bears heavily against him, be sustained before the court, his penalty should be snob as to make it felt that society will protect its weakest members against the. seduc? tive wiles of snch as he. ?

Three weeks ago, Mrs. Hughes gave birth to another girl, and her condition was then pitiable. A I neighboring woman allowed her to bring in the infant and give it the necessary attention.
