Raleigh News and Observer : Quite a number of chimneys in various parts of the city were blown down Saturday. The hail storm was longer in dura tion, and, perhaps, as severe as any ever seen here. Some person took from the coat nnp.kp.t-. of Mr. William Simpson, while he was on hi3 way back from More head on Friday, a pocketbook contain ing $32 and some valuable papers. This was done at Newborn. Mrs. Sarah D.Sherwood, one of the most estimable and beloved ladies of this city, who has for months been an invalid, died early Saturday morning.

It has been generally un derstood that Bradley n assured Justice Clifford of hia intention to do this. Our readers, or some of them, may re member that, after the arguments, and before any votes had been taken, ru mors appeared in Washington corres pondence to the effect that Bradley had confessed to Clifford, the justice of the Democratic position, and stated- that he would vote to declare Tilden elect ed. The report went so far as to assert that Bradley had written out his opin ion, and would present it when he vot ed with the Democrats. As soon as these stories leaked out the eminent Republicans who were engineering the steal visited Bradley en masse. The result of their persua sion we know. Bradley tore up his old opinion and wrote another, in which he sprung his historic "aliunde" upon the Eublic As we have said, all thi3 has een a part of understood history for years, out ic nas never Deen. given mo weight of authoritative statement. At last we are promised proofs which, al though posthumous, will generally be accepted as positive. Governor Crittenden, of Missouri,, says that Justice Clifford told him sev eral years ago that he had prepared a complete and detailed history of the proceedings of the electoral commis sion, and that it would be published af ter his death, unless his wife decided otherwise. The justice furthermore hinted that when the history was pub lished developments would be made of a startling nature and damaging to rep utations now good. From another source comes the later statement that the volume will very soon be given to the public, and that Bradley's duplicity will not only be proved, but accounted for. We await the appearance of the history with in terest. The people cannot know too much of the inner history of the fraud.

Dispatch to the Phil a. Times. Washington, Aug. 14. Colonel T. C.Campbell, a prominent lawyer of Cincinnati, and the only Grant delegate sent from Ohio to the Chicago Conven tion, was in Washington yesterday en route to New York, and while here was interviewed by your correspon dent with regard to the political situa tion in Ohio. Campbell represents the stalwart faction of the Ohio Republi can party, and is usually outspoken on public affairs. He says the result of the election in Ohio this fall will be a victory for the administration, but it will be a close shave, and Republican success will onlv be" achieved because of th attemDted assassination of the President That act, he says, has unit ed the Republicans of the State to a certain extent and will elect Foster. Were it not for that the Democrats would be successful. The colonel gives as his reasons for this belief that the stalwart element of the party is dissatisfied with the administration treatment of Conkling and the men who stood by Grant at Chicago. He says: "Now sympathy with Garfield will bring out the Republican vote, but had it not been for Guiteau's crime we would have shown the administra tion what we thought of its treatment of the men who wrested victory from defeat last fall." Speaking of the man ner in which the Ohio Republicans are making the fight this fall Campbell said : "Somebody has influenced Hayes to have his wife, erstwhile the great temperance reformer, say, in order to prevent Republicans from voting the temperance ticket, that in voting this year the people are voting for Gar fitfd or Guiteau. This is the most blatant' demagogism ever known, and yet such papers as the, Cincinnati Commercial are giving it all the prominence they Mm s, UI11U IVUlillU UlUtUlUi. CALL EARLY AND SECURE BARGAINS.
