to the earthquake in San Francisco, but has
substituted in peculiar manner, California, in
stead, giving the idea to the uninformed that
California is country Of limited boundaries
and her people eminent church goers
On Sunday morning last while all the people
were at church. California was terribly shaken
by an earthquake. Two tremendous shocks were
felt within the space of half minute. The
church bells were rung by the agitation of the
earth, walls were cracked, pastering knocked
down and some crockery smashed. One or two
unfinished buildings in San Francisco were
thrown down but no lives were lost, and but
few persons were injured, though everybody was
terribly scared

BRowNLow on NEGRO EqUALITY-Governor
Brownlows s annual message to the Legislature
Of Tennessee, appears in the Nashville Press and
Times of October Sd. 1t is a long, comprehcn-
sive and able document. Upon the question Of
negro suffrage and in answer to the Copperhead
howl of negro equality, the Governor expresses
himself follows:
think that negro suffrage is bound to follow
as one of the great results of the rebellion that
the time will come when it will be proper and
right but that the time has not vet come when
the hallot-box should be turned over tothe cman-
cipated slaves of the State, and the thousands
who would rush into Tennessee from the cotton
States on this account To the silly objection
that negro suffrage implies social equality, beg
leave to respond that negroes, at time or
another, have voted in most of the Southern
States, and yet they were in no way advanced to
social equality with the whites Ny recollection
is that in every Southern State, except South
Carolina, the right of suffrage was originally ex
ercsed by free blacks. The original Constitu-
tions of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North
Carolina and Georgia, members of the Old Thir-
teen, make no mention of color defining the
qualifications of voters. Up to the time of the
adoption of the Amended Constitution, in 1888,
negroes voted in Tennessee, and the leading pol
iticians of the State importuned them for their
votes. In Maryland they voted until l833, and
in North Carolina they voted late as 1885. All
this failed to advance the negroes in the scale OF
equality, so fooishly talked of now and so o!fen-
siyely deprecated and amalgamation was not
so common in those days as it has become since

Let the tax-ridden millions but say it, and

ures are promises Of untold wealth and luxuries
that wealth procures, become worthless as
waste paper that flutters along the streets.
AGAINST A REGISTRY LAw.-The San Francis
co Examiner takes Is position among the other
Copperhead papers against Registry Law It
says:
the right Of suffrage concerned it better that
Illegal voters should exercise that right than
legal voter should be deprived Of its enjoyment.
To exclude the Illegal voters will be rather
hard on the Copperheads. undoubtedly but we
think the next Legislature will be guilty of that

To CLEAN their meadows side by side, so happy :

their low deathbeds pale figure upon a cross
diving also, patiently in this they different
from the cattle and from the stones but in all
this unrewarded as far as concerns the present
life For them, there is neither hope nor passion

ton Black bread, rude roof, dark night, abo-
rious day weary arm at sunset and life GIBBS
away. No books no thoughts, no attainments
no rest; except only sometimes u little sitting in
the sun under the church wall, as the bell tolls
Thin and far in the mountain air a pattering of
a few prayers, not understood. by the altar rails
of the dimly gilded chapel, and so back to the
sombre home with the cloud upon them still
unbroken-that cloud of rocky gloom, born out
of the wild torrents and ruinous stones, and un-
ightened even in their religion, except by the
vague promise of some better thing unknown,
mingled with threatening, and obscured by an
unspeakable horror-a smoke, as it were of
martyrdom, coiling up with the incense, and,
amidst the images of tortured bodies and lament
ing spirits in hurtling flames the very cross, for
them, dashed more deeply than for others, with
gouts of blood.
Do not let this be thought darkened picture
of the life of these mountaneers. 1t is literal
fact. No contrast can be more painful than that
between the dwelling Of any well conducted En-
glish cottager, and that of the equally honest
Sayoyard. The one, set in the midst of its dull
fiat fields and uninteresting hedgerows, shows in
itself the love of brightness and beauty its
daisy-studded garden beds, its smoothly swept
brick path to the threshold, its freshly sanded
floor and orderly shelves of household furniture
all testify to energy of heart, and happiness in
the simple course and simple possessions of daily
life. The other cottage, in the midst of an in
conceivable, inexpressible beauty, set on some
sloning bank Of golden sward, with clear foun-
tains flowing beside it, and wild flowers, and
noble trees, and goody rocks gathered round
into perfection Of Paradise, is itself a dark
and plague-like stain in the midst of the gentle
landscape. Within certain distance of its
threshold the ground is foul and cattle-tramped
its timbers are black with smoke, its garden
choked with weeds and namelcss refuse, its
chambers empty and joyless, the light and wind
cleaning and hltering through the crannies OF
their stones. All testities that to It's inhabitant
the world is labor and vanity that for him nei-
ther flowers bloom, nor birds sing, nor fountains
glisten and that his soul hardly differs from the
gray cloud that coils and dies upon his hills ex-
ccpt III having no fold of it touched by the sun
beams.
