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.

J. S. Ferrin, late Republican member
of the Legislature for Wilcox County,
testified as follows before the committee
now investigating the means by which
Spencer secured his eleotion to the
United StotoS Senate: Troops were re?
tained in Alabama before the election on
the requisition of myself and others, it
having been understood that Spencer
had arranged for troops to be put at the
disposal of the Mayor and other revenue
officers whenever intimidation was ne?
cessary. 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.

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.

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. ?
