VOLUME XXX, TIE OFMICAGO TRIRUNE, CAMPAIGN |SWEEPING (hicago Tribune HURRAH FOR HAYES AND WHEELER AND TIIE OLD UNION PARTY ! The National Republican party has placed its ticket and plotform before the American people. Tho Prestdential Compaign will be one of the most exciting and important that has ever occurred in the United Btates, The resuit of tha contest will defermine thd future good or {1l of the country for & generstion to rome, The Democratic-Confederate alliance la the same in character and spirit as wher the one wing re- polved that the Waz for the Union waa a ** fallure, and tho other wing tricd desperatcly to make it a faflure. They are now a harbor of refuge for sec- tional animositics and pro-slavery sentimenta. Since coming Into control of the popular branch of Congreps they have exhibited no stateamanship, no wisdom or patriotism,—nothing but obstructive palicies and destructive purposes, showing theme clves Incapable of progress or even of compro- hending the wanta of .the country. ‘They only " meddle and muddle.” With all thelr promiacs and pretonslons they have proven utler failures in denling with questions of Taxation, Tariff, Reve- nue, Currency, or Rteform. 1t the Government again passen into the hands of the Democratic-Confederates, and they securo pos- session of the purseand the sword, the Army and the Nary, tho Executlve authority and the law-making power, they will substitute reaction for progrees snd re-establish a roign of terror and a sysiem of peonage in the South, and ballet-box stufling and corrnption In thoe citiea of the North, Prudence admonishes that **the destinies of the country In peaco should Lo confided to those who saved it In war." % 1t the aacendency of the Ropublican party fa to be maintained, no sgency will bo more uscfal and potential to that end than Tnx CaicAco TRIBUNE, which has no superior in power and influence smong Republican newspapora.

A BCENE OF DESOLATION AND DEATE, Special Dispatch to The Tridune, Dunuqug, In., July 6.~Un the night of the Tourth the little bumlet of Ruckdale, 8 miles southwest of thucity, was swept awny as with the besom of destruction, Every bullding in the little town save the Catfish M wos washed frow fts foundution and torn intoa wreek that defies deseription. The dozen bulldings—all that were Jocated on the bottom lands of the Catfish suvo the nilll—were carried oft us if they ‘were go many cockleshells, and whirled ndown the surging sud buling current, crushing them into fragments. With two exceptions oll are torn {nto splinters and searcely a fragment can he recognized os belonging to this or that butld- ing. Allarein INDISTINGUISIIABLE RUINS, scattered fora mile along the bordors of the stream. Stores, shops, dwellingr, barns—cvery- thing—fell befors the terrible torrent that came rolling in great surges duwn the 10 mlles of valley through which the Catfish runs, Where, cizhteen hours ago, wos a qulet, unsuspecting, and happy little rural hamlet, s now only waste of waters, thmbers (the wreek of build- ings), merchandlse, mud, and uprooted trees. Forafull mile down the streamn those frag- ments are strewn along the banks or piled in gorges from a few fect to 20 feet high, But the worst i8'not told. TUIRTY-NINETIUMAN DEINGS were hurriedly swept from Iife into the great maelstrom of death. Men, women, and children to that number were drowned, and thelr stiff bodies—~those of the thirty that have been res- cued up to this hour—~ware ranged side by stde along the shady slde of the il awaiting the Tnst sud funcral rites. Inone instance wesaw an eutlre family of four all lying dead; in auother, every member of the family but one lay dead. The bodles of sume were found in the debris of the crushed buildings near THE SCENE OF THELR DEATI, while others, and the greater part of them oll, wero found slong the bunks from o few rods to a milc down the strearm. Some were almost en- tircly hid from view by the floods of mud that had been swept along by the maddened watcrs, With perbaps o hund ouly exposed to sight, or a fout or a portion of the face, or perbaps onlya small portion of their clothing. A large num- ber of JittB children, boys and girls runging from 3to 12 years old, were the victlms of the dread avalnucke, aud altogether the scone was o most sickening one. TEN RELATIVES KILLED, One young man, Charles Thimmesch, who cs- caped from Horn's store by stripping and swim- ming to the shore, informed us that two of his uncles, one aunt, and seven of his cousins were drowned. ‘Through the day the people of the village had Joined moro or less tn the fostivities of the Cen- tennial Fourth, In the evenlng the rain began to [all, and ull took shelter in their homes or at the stores or saloons.

C., July 5.~The nominn- tlon of Marshal Packard by the Republican State Convention of Loulsling, to be Governor of that State, was tho result, it is understood, of a compromise between Pluchback, Warmoth, ond Packard, which was effected after the Con- vention met. The original plot, ns arrangeid by Pinchback, and his frlends, contemplated the nowmination of Warmoth to the Governorship, with theunderstanding thut Plockback should be elected to the United Btates Sonate in the place of. wml wh{:{su term of office expires on the 4th ol uext, and that Warmoth should also come the Scnute for the short term, to fill the vacancy which now exists. By this arrangement Packard and Kellogyr, between whom und Pluch- back a misunderstanding had arisen, were to be entirely ignored. When the Convention met Pinchback was found to have control.of it, and wus able to organize it {n such o way as to make it carry out his plan. 8ubscquently an uuder- stunding was renched Ly which Puckard was ad- mtted to the Rz, and Warmoth surrendered his clatm to a fdrmal uumlmlwfi In the State, still retaining his prospeetive hold on the short term in the United States Senate, The result of this new combination is that Packurd works In necord with Pinchback aud Warmoth, instead of being opposed to them.
