From New York.

NEW YORK, October 9.-This morning
the council for young Ketchum announced
that he would put in a plea of guilty to
the indictment charging his client with
forgery. 1t appears that the prisoner pro
poses to plead guilty, but as matters af-
fecting his late firm and their creditors are
still pending and unfinished, and his ex-
plantations and testimony are still required
by those interested is desirable to defer the
plea to as late day in the present term
as practicable. The District Attorney said
such request was not unusual, and gave
notice that the plea must be put in on the
last day of the term. This was agreed to.
The case of jenkins, the Phoenix Bank
robber, was called this morning, and the
District Attorney, announced that he was
not ready to proceed besides he had
learned that jenkins was about to make
new plea, which would be a kind that
ought to have very careful consideration,
he therefore requested that the case go
over for the term to which Jenkins coun-
sci had agreed. The Recorder gave his
assent.

LITERARY.

OF the late DIR, Wayland the Providence
Journal, saws During tie summer he has
been in his usual health, has revised his
Moral Philosophy, written two or three
new chapters for it, and corrected the
proofs of the new edition, N-hicn will ap-
pear almost simultaneously with his death.
During Commencement week he made a
journey to Ashburnham, Mass, and as
sisted i'll drawing the plan of an academy,
for which one of his relatives had left a
large beguest."
The principal article III the Church Re
uieiO for October is one which has attracted
great deal of attention, and not only in
the Episcopal Church. 1t is entitled
| "Bishop Potter's Pastoral Letter and its
Assailants," and it is noticeable for its
shrewd and msparing attacks OH certain
leaders of the "1ow Church party" such
as Bishop McIleaine, and Rev. Drs. Tying,
Garfield and Cotton Smith. The article
has also been issued in pamphlet form for
gratitubus distribution among the clergy.
The Church ReUiei0 contains five other ar
ticles. "The Desire for Unity, its Mistakes
and its Means" is another contribution
relating TO recent religious movements of
interest.
Messrs. Bunce & Huntington have in
press, and will at once publish, new
novel by Mrs. 4. II. Stoddard, author of
"The Morgesons." 1t is understood to be
a story of New England life and manners,
similar to its predecessor, in its faithful
delineation of character, and its unfinch-
ing truth to Nature but with fewer char
acters and greater unity of plot. "The
MorgesOns made "a sensation, the reader
may remember for, though the critics
were divided respecting it, there was no
question of its power, and the genius Of its
writer. The title of the new work is
1.-TWO Men,"

the drollest lecturer he ever listened to-"
Another English writer disagrees with |
Sala, and says: "Every one to his taste. |

and less genuine humOr than Sam Slick
(which has just now a melancholy inter

has Just published a new volume, entitled
tArtemus Ward; his Travels" The
book is in two parts: Part one contains
lbout dozen miscellaneous sketches; in
part two the Snowman" relates his expe-
'ience among the Mormons. Every one

,ut we think there is considerable humor
IL this book, and of style which particu-
arly belongs to this peculiar writer The
-olume is enlivened with twelve comic il
ustrations.

Present 70 General Grant.

The people OF California have stood
foremost in cash contributions to the San
itary Commission, and in support of the
old flag the rebels vainly attempted to
strike down. Nor do they forget the great
Union leader who gave the rebellion its
death-blow, and it is stated that General
Grant has recently received novel pres
ent from the Ladies Social Circle of Eu-
reka, Humboldt county. 1t is a silk bed
spread, one side of which is composed of
red and white stripes of silk, while the
other is blue silk ground, upon which are
neatly wrought in the national colors
thirty-six miniature hags-one for each
State with the name of each embroidered
upon the blue ground of each little flag.
In the center is the coat of arms, and
motto, E PJtvi5Us UaUBl, with the follow
ing inscription embroidered in yellow
silk: "To Lieut.. Gen. Grant, U. S. A.
from the Ladies Social Circle of Eureka,
Humboldt county, California" The article
brought $500 at Sanitary Commission
Fair in California.

DAILY LEADER.
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1865.
FIIing Up of cities and Towns.

Such rush of people to the cities and
towns was never before known. Nor is il
confined to any section of the North and
West. 1t is noticeable everywhere, and
yet the country does not seem to depopu-
late at all in the West, however it may be
at the East. 1t is stated that the net in
crease in the population of Rhode Island,
during the past five years, has been about
twelve thousand, and that the growth has
been altogether in the cities and manufac-
turing towns, the agricultural sections
showing a decline.
Business advantages, sure employment
and good wages, invite city population
from the country. The publication of
of Income Tax lists no doubt also has its
influence. This unexampled influx partly
explains high rents and the scarcity of
dwellings to be rented.

| Earlnquake IN san tfane1Sc1s
SAN FRANCISCO, October s.-At quar-
ter before one o'clock to-day, the severest
earthquake ever felt here, took place,
frightening half the population into the
streets. During the period of one halt
minute two tremendous shocks occurred,
causing buildings rock to and fro in a
manner altogether alarming. Services
were over in most oft he churches The large
| congregation of the Unitarian church
being dismissed when the shock COM
menced, the ladies shrieked and rushed
for the doors faster than they could be ac-
cOmmOdated with exit room.
Similar scenes took place at st. Mary's
Cathedral and several other churches and
Sunday Schools.
The rush -was-sO desperate from the
Catholic church on Vallejo street, that the
large doors of the main entrance were
carried away, and several persons injured
by being crowded against the walls.
Buildings cracked in many places. 1t
surprises every one that large stately edi-
fees, like the Occidental Cosmopolitan
Hotel and other buildings of that class,
were not generally more seriously injured.
More or less plastering fell from perhaps
half the ceilings of the city. Much win

cornices fell from many buildings. The en-
tire front of large four story brick
building part erected this year fell out

Independently constructed chimney of the
Lick House fell in, crushing through the
roof of the dining room, leaving pile of
brick among the table and dishes to the
astonishment of the boarders. Three SER
wants were injured, and three Chinese bad
ly wounded by the falling of the wall.
Brief accounls from Sacramento, Stock
ton and San Jose represent the shock as
the severest ever felt in these cities. 1t
was not felt at Marysville or Placerville.
The town of Santa Cruz was shocked with
great severity, some brick buildings suffer
ing greatly, and one or two were utterly

The Great Growth of nIiuois,

The foreign excursionists who recently
made flying trip through the West to
spy out the hand, must have been struck
with the populousness as well as the new
ness and extent of the country. The war
drain of able bodied young meh has been
great, but seems NOW only drop from the
bucket. Take vigorous young Illinois as
an example. A census is being taken, and
the returns received make it certain that
the State has population considerably
over two millions-probably 2,2OO,OOO-
being an increase of 100000 in five years.
This marvellous growth is in face of the
fact that Illinois furnished 256, 900 men for
the Union army.

did hope, however, that should find half
dozen men at least in favor of giving
suffrage TO some negroes, as many more in
favor Of abolishing the barbaric color quail
ification, and still as many more ready to
admit that suffrage would be the right of
the negro as soon he is able to use it un-
derstandingly. Vain hopel If there are
six men who as much as admit that it will
probably be right or polite to give suffrage
to any negro of their state within ten
years, four of them must be among the
thirty or thirty-five whose views l have
not personally learned. Mr. Orr admits
that they may some time have political
rights. Mr. Norwood says heis not afraid
to discuss negro suffrage. Mr. Dozier is
willing to accept negro suffrage if the
moral and intellectual character of the ne
gro can be SO elevated as to make him fit
to take part in ngovernment. Judge Frost,
of Charleston, knows the constitution of
the negro to be such that he shuns respon-
sibility, and does not believe that he will
at present ask for suffrage, but adds that,
at some future day perhaps not far distant
he will have political rights even in South
Carolina. In that hope let all good men
abide. In that faith let all progressive
men find incentive for wise and patient
and charitable labor.
