Special to Richmond Whig. Washington, March 8, 11:50 P. M The Democrats scored two impor tant points in the Senate to-day ; they managed to have both Morgan, of Alabama, and Graver, of Oregon, sworn in. There has been some talk of an investigation in respect-to these gentlemen, but it will amount to nothing at aft. ""They" are Tri" for six yara each, and the Democratic strength in the Senate is now thirty four,, with chances for one more Sena tor from South Carolina and two more from Louisiana. The vote is so close now that all the Republicans have to be in place in order to assure a party triumph on any vote, , and there is a good chance of defeating any very ultra or extreme Radical measure that may be proposed. The effect is to make the Senate really a conservative body. In ability and intellectual force the accessions to the Democratic ranks of late are very great. Harris, Hill, Whyte, Wallace, Lamar, and Beck are a powerful reinforcement to the old set, and the preponderance of ability is now with the Democrats. Mr. Conkling came into action to day splendidly. His speech, without naming Blaine, was a severe rebuke to that gentleman, and to the scheme of foisting Kellogg in hot haste on the Senate. It indictedViyplamiy" his opposition to any attempt to pre jodge the Louisiana question by ad mitting Kellogg, and closes the door on his ambitious hopes. Kellogg was probably stronger yesterday than he will be again. The tone of Mr. Conkling's speech is also regarded as indicative of a purpose to support the Administra tion upon the Southern question, and perhaps other questions. I think it not unlikely that he will be the leader of the Administration party in the Senate, leaving Blaine and Morton to play out their little game of bidding for the Southern Republican vote as a preliminary step to the contest.of 1880. The "struggle for the presi dential succession has already begun. Blaine was not willing to lose an hour before declaring himself. Conkling, Morton, and Sherman are not far be hind. From an intimate friend of the Pre sident it is learned thatjbe will remain firm in his purposes avowed iu the inaugural, and if his nominations now before the Senate should be rejected he will send in the names of. men equally in accord wilto bis conserva tive views. Grant was in the lobbies and cloak rooms of the Senate both yesterday, and to day, and it is generally un derstood that he is trying to defeat Schurz'rt confirmation. Mr. Blaine, who has been very brisk for a new Senator, did not at tempt a reply to Mr. Conkling, 5 who was severe, contemptuous and defi ant. But the two men are certain to lock horns sooner or later, and Blaine will be apt to suffer. Th next interest ot the day cen tered in the action of the Senate on the Cabinet nominations. Mr. Sher man was confirmed bt a close vote, Had the Democrats been anxious to beat him they could have done So easily, but probably it was thought that inasmuch as the Cabinet, taken as a whole, was a triumph over the extreme Republicans, it was better to confirm all of them rather than to help Blaine to smash the slate, and thus run the chanoe ot a worse set The other cases come up to-morrow, and the impression is that all will go through. Key and Schurz will get a good Democratic support enough to save each of them. Mr. Schura starts in wftb; the idea of being a reformer, and is thorough ly in earnest. L, Q. W. Special to Bkbaaond Dispatch. Washington, March 8. Conkling's speech gave great sat iafaction to all Conservative men. and encourages the hone that he wil fully cut himself off from the Radi cai element. I Special to the Norfolk Virginian. Washington, March 8, 1 1 :30 P. M. S The excitement here is on the in crease. Much consternation pre sents itself in the Radical ranks, and the leaders are in great doubt about confirming the Cabinet. Morton The VOL. XIX.-NO. 140. Blaine and Grant are especially bit ter against the appointment of Schurz. The Radical split gives the Democrats great pleasure, and affords .them an opportunity for supporting uayes m ma line or southern policy. The Legislature. Raleigh Observer's report condensed. SENATE.

We learn that Judge Seymour stated at Brunswick Court that he would not open Columbus Court, which convenes at WJiteiJle next week,: until Tuesday morning, the 13th inst.

Complaint is made by our Fayetteville subscribers to the effect that, whereas they formerly received the Stab by 8 or 6 o'clock on tbe evening of its publication, ahd could take It home with them from their places of business, tbey are now de prived of that pleasure, the mail reaching there so late at night say from 10 to 10:30 o'clock that tbey are compelled to go home without their paper. The postmas ter at Fayetteville wrote to the postmaster at Lumberton, requesting him to deliver the mail to the carrier at the earliest possi ble moment, which has been promptly done, and consequently the blame for tbe delay rests in some . other quarter. I The prompt delivery of mail' matter is strictly enjoined upon those in the service of the government, and for all failures in this re spect they are held justly responsible. Tbe cause of delay in this instance will be en quired into and the remedy applied, if pos sible. If the mail can be carried from, Lumberton to Fayetteville in seven hours, there is no reason, as a general thing, that ten hours should be consumed for that pur pose, to the serious detriment and inconve nience of newspaper publishers and tbe public. Colored DIan Drowned. On Thursday night about 8 o'clock, while tbe steamer A. P. Hurt, Capt. Worth, was on her way from Fayetteville to this city, and when at a point on tbe river known as "Indian Wells," about thirty-seven miles above this city, a colored deck hand by the name of Sim Council fell overboard and was drowned. It appears that the boat stopped at the place mentioned to change the mail, and as the wind was blowing very hard at the tune the boat swung round crosswise tbe river. Council had hold of a rope, a turn or two of which had been taken round a post, and was engaged in trying to force tbe boat into her proper po sition in the stream, when by some means he accidentally fell into tbe river. He was not able to swim a stroke, and was not seen to rise to the surface of the water after his un lucky pluuge, hence the efforts made to rescue him were altogether useless. Capt. Worth remained at the spot about two hours, but failed to recover the body. Deceased, who was about 30 years old, was formerly a resident of Bladen county, but had been living in Fayetteville for some time past, and was, Capt Worth says, the best band he ever had in his employ. He was unmarried and childless. A Correct Description. k As it appears that there were some inac curacies in the description furnished us of Michael McCarthy, the murderer rif young Moore, in New York, which was printed in our paper a day or two since, we give tbe following correct one, sent to Captain Fitzgerald by the captain of the precinct in which tbe murder was committed, and do so the more readily from the fact that a stranger answering to the first description published came near being arrested yester day morning on suspicion of being the veritable McCarthy. The corrected de scription of the murderer is as follows; "He is 19 or 30 years of age; 5 feet 6 Inches in height; brown hair; swarthy complexion; face nrofusedly covered, with pimples: is inclined to stoop when he walks; has a scar, hardly perceptible,, oa tbe side of his 'mouth," c. , Chance of Schedule.

Its Ravages In and around Wilmlas-ten-No material Disaster Re ported. Yesterday morning, between 4 and 5 o'clock, this city and vicinity Was visited by a terrific storm of wind, rain, lightning and thunder. It had been quite stormy and threatening during the preceding day and night, but no one not even the signal men had looked for such an early and fearful culmination on the part of "Old Boreas." As we have intimated, the wind had been quite severe all night, accompa nied by showers of rain, but shortly after 4 o'cloek the storm jurat upon us tn all its wild fury. The wind was terrific, the rain poured in torrents, while the thunder rolled and the lightning flashed almost incessant ly, there being one or two heavy crashes. Houses in many instances were shaken ap parently almost from their foundations, and numbers of our citizens, residing in the more exposed localities, where they had tbe full scope of tbe wind, bustled themselves out of their warm beds in tbe full belief that the roofs that covered them were in imminent danger of being tumbled about their, heads. Fortunately the storm in its Intense severity was not of long duration, lasting only about twenty or twenty-five minutes, or the damage must have been heavy. The wind was apparently quite as heavy as in the great equinoctial gale of September last; but according to a report from tbe signal office the velocity of the wind was not so great as on that occasion, but verged very closely to it. THE DAMAGE. A large number of fences were blown down and trees uprooted in various Sec tions of the city, and we bear there Iras a like result in the surrounding country. Even as far up as the region of the "Coha ries" and the "Six Runs," tributaries of the Black River, in Sampson county, we under stand, the gale was very severe, and many trees and fences were prostrated. v A small dwelling house in the extreme eastern section of the city. was blown down, and tbe roof of another, located on Eighth, between Queen and Wooster, together with the tin covering, was taken Off and carried a distance of about one hundred yards. A flat loaded with hay, at the foot Princess street, was swamped and tbe nay floated off. A portion of the tin roof of the new freight depot of the Carolina Central Railway was blown loose, dam aging it to the extent of about $50. Tbe tin roof of the Purcell House was blown Off aad: fall in the yard with a great crash. The vails, carpets, furniture, &c, in a portion of the building, were badly dam aged, tbe loss altogether being estimated by tbe proprietor at about $1,500. The water beat into several stores on Front and Market streets, causing considerable dam age. Four small boats ia tbe dock at Mr. J. H. Neff's wharf, including one belonging to Capt B. G. Bates and one to Dr. J. E. Winants, were crushed and damaged be yond repair. I The Norwegian barque Lloyd, which was lying at Robinson's wharf, on the west side of the river, broke loose from her moorings and was blown upon the Railroad shoals, where she was grounded hard and fast. She was loaded, and it was thought probable that she would have to be lightered in order to get her off, though tbe steamer Waccamaw was to give her a "pull" at high water to see what could be done. The stern fastenings of the German brig Nicolaus also broke loose, but by prompt action tbe crew managed to secure her. A small schooner at the foot of Chesnut street parted her hauser, but was stopped and made fast at tbe railroad wharf. The awn ing and smoke stack of the steamer Wave were swept away. The tin on the roofs of .several houses, Including tbe City Hall, was started, but the damage can be easily re paired. Among other accidents caused by the storm, we notice that the top of tbe street lamp at the corner of Fourth and Campbell streets was blown off, while the glass was blown put of the one oa the cor ner of Fourth and Red Cross streets. Doubtless many others suffered like injury. Carpets and furniture in many private resi dences were more or less damaged by the rain being driven under the doors,, win dows, &c. Several bill boards were also blown down. j The storm of Friday morning will long be remembered for; its severity and for its startling accompaniments. '' Tbe wind was from the southwest. THE STORM IN PENDER. A correspondent writing us from Burgaw says: "I write tb tat you know what a storm of rain, Wind, thunder and lightning visited this section of country last night. At nightfall the wind was south and south east and increasing, and during the night the storm came on, which almost demolish ed everything in its way. I never , saw or heard of anything to equal, it in my life; trees were uprooted, some broken off half way up, and I saw two pines blown Off ten feel above the ground that were twenty inches through. The woods are filled with uprooted trees, while many fences, and bouses were blown down. Mr. A W. Moore's blacksmith shop, workshop, stables and fodder-bouse were all blown down and torn to pieces, and it was with great exer tion on his part that he saved his stock from being killed. He had to eut them from the debris badly mashed up. His loss is quite heavy J , On Thursday an advertisement was sent to the Star office to be inserted for one month, seat to oa yesterdav the advertisers mSvII Li-'A':ia uisconwnuea, ineir excuse being that they had told the entire lot of goods on the first day the advertisement appeared.
