In one small villago nine persona were killed outright, nnd four fatally injured, whilo thirty others wore wounded; and twenty persons in all lost their lives in varjoys places from the violonce of the storm, ‘The carolossness of n Caghier and the cley- ernces of a pair of thieves who took advan. toge of it resulted in a daylight robbory of a bavk at Galesburg and the loss of about $12,000 in money. The Directors will chargo it to tho profit and Joss nocount, and tho Cashier will be wiser than to givo a thief such @ chance another time. Among the accidents and catastrophos mentioned in the dispatches this morning ns occurring on the Fourth, one of the most melancholy was the partial overturning of an overloaded exoursion stoamer on Tako Quinsigamond, near Worcester, Mass., whoroby a largo number of the pnassongors wore pitched into the water, and seven wero drownod.'

HARRISON AND BENNER, Tho exact position taken by Moyor Han- Bison in his summary removal of Tire-Mar- shal Bexnen may be stated ina single sen- tenco: Hannon, ag Mayor, dosired Bzn- nxn to obtnin from the firemen a coluntary romlssion of & per cont of their pay, and thon ho removed Benen bocanso the latter did not compel the firemen to submit to the proposed reduotion. Ig it possible to conceive of anything mora contradictory and absurd? The obvious in- consistency of the renson which Hannon sets up for his action in this matter neoessi- tntes the conclusion either that Hannison does not assign his ronl motive for removing the Fire-Marshal, or that the Mayor's head has actually been turned by an overwhelm. ing senso of his own importance and ho does not know what ho is doing. If Hannteon’s plan was to procure from the firemen their free consent toa raduction of 4 por cent in thoir salaries, thon Marshal Bexnen's course was woll advised in simply communicating ‘the proposition to the various companies, and it would have bean highly im- proper ‘for lim to go about among the mon with an implied threat of his own and tho Mayor's disfavor, and with ‘an intimatior of possible removal in all casos whero the consent to the reduction shall bo withheld, Thore would havo been nothing rea or voluntary about snch a proceeding; and the conduct of both the Mayor nud the Fire-Marshal wonld have been menn-spirited, because it would have boon on éndenvor to proouro by intimidatiqn what the responsible oflicials wero not willing to order outright. If tho reduction was to be enforced, then it was cortainly the business of the Mayor rather than that of tho Firo-Marshal to un- dertako tho job, Bunt Hanntaoy hod ad- mitted to Benen that he was unwilling to incur tho rosponsubility for issuing and en- forcing an order for reduction, and desired Benner, thongh a subordinate, to assume tho responsibility which ho himself shirked, Whether as 9 matter of principle or a:matter ’ of policy, Benwen was right in refnsing to place himself in the breach, and Hannisow ‘was cowardly in demanding or expecting any such gacrifice on the part of tho Fire. Marahal, Benen had himaclf and his bonds men toprotect, andit would havo been rackless and foolhardy for him to assume to chango tho pay of tho firomen from tho rates fixed by the Council. when such action was of vory questionable authority, aud might en- tail serious damnges. Moreover, it is of tho highest importance that the Fire-Marshal should be en rapport with his men, and Bennen would haye forfeited their respect ond endangered tho efficioncy of the Do- partment, hnd ho gone abont in an undor- hand way to bully the fromen into: what should appear as 5 voluntary snrrondor of pay they wore not willing to remit. Every porsiblo point of view roveals tha utlor self. ishness and despicable meanness of tho Mayor's desire to.put upon tho Tire-Marshal a disagresable rosponsibility whioh, if neces. sary, should have beon borne by himself, Mr, Hannwon's offort to impress the pub. Uo that bis dismissal of Fire-Moarshal Brsxzn was prompted by his own dosire to reduce oxponses nnd Bennen’s alloged rosistance, is too foeble to decoive anybody, It isnot true, The pay of-tho firemen was fixed by the Connell. ‘Lhe subaoqnont pnssego of tho bill limiting tho oxponditure of monoy to 75 per cont of'the tax levy bronght abont an apparont conilict of laws which should hava boon construed by tho logal advisors of the corporation. If the’new law warranted tho Mayor in roducing salaries which had been fixed by the Council, his connsal shonld have advised him of that fact, and he should have isned an order to that effect, It ho has no such authority, then he had no right to de. mand that tho Fire-Marshal should do what he himself could not do lawfully. Mr. Ben. nen has nover shown .any opposition to a lawful reduction of exponses; on tho con- trary, he has kept the contingent exponses of the Department at the minimum, ho has adapted himself to ovory reduction made by the Council, and ho hos maintained the eftl. clency of his Department in spite of roduc. thous onlculated to impair it, If thero is anything moguer than Hannivon’s attompt to shift responsibility properly attached to his offlee upon the Fire-Bfarshal, it is his aubso- quent effort to mako the public holteve that’ Benne, by refusing to asanma this responsi- bility, had placed bimaglf in tho way of a ngcessary reduction of exponses, Asa matter of fact, there ia abundant rea. son to think that Hannon has boen actuated by othor and unworthy motives in this caso, When he assumed the position of Mayor, ho adopted tho sensologs rulu of requiring rosig- nations from alltho chiof men in the City Government, _ His purposo was olther to ap- point successora fram among the Demooratio bummers sccking office, or, by dectining to socept the rosignations, to place the incum. bents undor a dircot, porsonal obligation to himeelf for the ratontion, It was a vory Jow progeading, pronmigated in a very lordly fashion, Firo-Marshal Rexyen was about the only prominent official who declined to submit to the indignity, though he had every sasurance that he would bo retained in caso he would hand in his resignation, He very properly took tho. ground that his term of office had not expired, that ke hod not done anything to demand his removal, and that he would not pandor to Hapuison’s ridiculous sense of his own importance, It {s not unlikely that tho Mayor has beex watch- ing ever since then for au opportunity to remove Benxen, and that his recent action ‘was suggested by petty epite and in order to punih Bexnxy for the msult which the Int- ter offered His Magniflcence by refusing to hond in his resignation like o vassal at tho boginuing of tho present Adminiatration.

It is much moro important to this city that Brxszr shonld be Fire-Marshal thon it ia that Hannison should be Mayor. THE REPUBLICANS AND SILVER. The announcemont was mado from Wash- ington on Thursday that tho Capgrossionsl Republican Committee, which assumes to mannge tho Republican party, had ordored the printing of 40,000 conics of tho recent speeches of Mr. Monroy, of New York, against tho coinage of silver dollars. It was further added that theso spoeches were to bo printed for circulation by tho Republican Committee in Ohio to influence the election in that Stato, Itfs just possible that this Committee, or whoever is the mannging director, is more oficlons than wire. Who has coustitnted that Committee an authority to deolaro tho Republican party of tho country or of Obio to bo opposéd to the largest posstblo coinage of silver dollara? Who has authorizod that Committee to rep- resent to the people of Ohio that the Re- publican party is hostilo to silver money, and in favor of gold as tho only motallic money? ‘Tho act of 1878 ramonotizing tho silver dollar was passed by the House of Representatives by the combined votes of Democrats and Republicaus over the Presidont’s veto, aud it was pneacd by moro than a two-thirds vote over thesame voto by the Republican Senate. It was the Repub- licans in both Houses of Congress who. passed tho bill originally, and who contrib- uted the votes by which the President's veto was overrhled, ‘fhe pregont Republican candidate for Governor of Ohio voted for that bill, and for this Committeo at Wash- ington to interpose now, and represent tho Republican party of tho country as hostile toyplacitig silver on an equnt footing as to free coivage with gold, in, to sny tho lonat, n pieco of ingufforable insolence and ignorance, I£ the Republican Committes nt Washington is to rnn tho election in Ohio this fall on the issue of hostility tothe freo coinago of sil- vor, thon Mr, Fosten would treat that Com- mitteo proporly by publicly resenting and repudinting its unwarranted intorference, or ho might oven more effectually requko it by refusing to bo defeated by such n fire in tho rear, and resign tho candidncy. ‘Chere are not, perhaps, in -all Ohio, with its 700,000 voters, 80,000 men of all partics who are not in favor of the freo coinago of tha silver dollar, and the Committeo nt Washington cannot, by the circulation of ‘the speeches of any one-horse bankor or the agent of the goldites, change that opinion, oven by representing thot tha Republican party is also opposed to silver. If tho cam- paign in Ohio is to be rnn by these ignoram- uses at Washington, tho bust thing Mr. Fostex can do is to resign his enndidacy, aud Jet tho men who seok Lis sacrifice in tho ine terest of the goldites learn how contemptiblo their policy is in the minds of the poople.

THE AMERICAN RONAPARTE, There is ou intimation in some of the enble dispatches that a faction among the adhorents of the Bonarantz party in Franco tatk of taking up tho claims of an Americau geatleman ‘as pretonder to the Napoleonic succession, ‘Che dissatisfaction of the Im- perialists with tho tostamentary succession ‘proseribod by tha Into Prince, and the fact thatthe Amorican Bonaranre is in 9 mora direct line of succession than any of tho off- rpring of Jenomr Boxaranre’s second family, furnish tho raison etre for tho alloged moyemont.

Gnanr King of Bulgaria, Amorica is not a good soll for raising Princes, and Kings, and Emperors, and it would be a solocism for any people or any faction believing in the kingly form of government to scok a ruler in a country and among 8 nation that havo cstablished the highest and most enduring claims to popular gov- ernment, ‘Tho very same motives which prompted the great Naronron to annul, so far os his jurisdiction oxtonded, the marriage botweon hfs brother aud Miss Parrenson, of | Baltimora, would doter the adherents of tho Ronarante family from adopting one of that Indy's descendants o8 a protonder to tho suo- cession.
