Pope and for which the political and relig-

THE ELECTI0Ns-THEIR sIGNIFI-
CANOE.

The elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Iowa are over and sufficiently accurate re-
eeived to indicate with certainty the over
Nhelrning defeat of the Copperheads and
Sympathizers with the rebellion. The con-
test In Pennsylvania was declared by the OPP
position to be upon negro equality, if so, the
result is bad for the Cops The true issue,
however, has been upon the question OF re-
construction, and upon this the Union party
went before the people with platform
whose meaning could not be misunderstood,
and the people have ratified that platform,
IS Pennsylvania s position upon the ques-
ion of reconstruction, by most overwhel-
ming majority. The Old Keystone has spo-
ken and her voice viii not be unheeded in
the councils of the nation. Her voice has
been the key note of the Union party over
the whole country. Ohio and Iowa have, in
reality, had practically the same issue before
them, however much politicians may have
cndeavored to befog the people in regard to
it. Iowa in addition to the reconstruction
question took high ground in favor of uni
versal suffrage and her people have sane
toned it by fifteen thousand majority So
much for what has been done Coming events
casts their shadows before them-Newark,
New jersey has cast dark shadow, for the
fossilized democracy of that state, that indi-
Gates progress even in New Jersey. Those
who persistently believe in the talismanic
influence of the word Democracy, without
regard to principle, may take lesson from
the election returns, and learn, that free
people, who have just saved their Govern
ment from destruction and their country
from anarchy, are not prepared to depute
to their late enemies the work of recon-
struction. The question of rcpudiating the
national debt and breaking the national faith
has also been definitely settled. Pennsylva-
MIA has also declared unequivocally in favor
of that protection to American industry, SO
long needed and SO necessary to the perma-
nent prosperity of the whole country. Let
her voice be needed in this also and in few
years. we viii, under Providence be blessed
with such degree of prosperity as the
world has never yet seen, and while, our
country SO gloriously free, so richly endowed
with every blessing, stands peerless among
the peerless among the nations of the Earth,
Pennsylvania, with her coal, her oil, her
iron, her varied manufactures, herinternal
and external commerce. her canals, her rail-
roads, her grand old mountains, her fertile
valleys and her life-giying fountains, shall
stand forth first and fairest in all the bright
galaxy of stars, that so gloriously illume the
flag Of the free.

Severe Earthquake in California.

he seYerest earthquake ever felt at San
francisco occurred at q quarter before one
O'Clock on Sunday afternoon last, and fright
ened almost the entire population of the
clty out OF their houses into the streets
Services were over In most of the churches
The large congregation of the Unitarian
church was being dismissed when the shock
commenced. Ladies shrieked; all pushed
for the doors faster than they could be ac-
commodated with exit. Similar scenes tool
place at st. Maryis Cathedral. and at some
other churches and Sunday schools The
rush was so great from the Catholic church
on galego street that the large doors Ia the
man entrance were carried away, and sever
al persons were injured BY being trampled
upon. The walls of many buildings were
cracked IN many places. More or less Mas
tering fell from perhaps half the ceilings of
the city. The entire front of a four-story
brick building just erected on Third street
fell outward, covering about half of that
VIDE street with fragments. One indepen-
IDENTIFY constructed chimney of the lick
House fell and crushed through the roof az
the room, coming down upon the tables and
dishes to the astonishment of the boarders
who were taking lunch. Three of the SER
wants were injured Two Chinamen were
badly injured by the falling of fire wall on
jackson street. The City Hall bell com
menced ringing from the vibration of the
tower. The City Hall is damaged in the
front wall to the extent that portion must
be rebuilt at a cost of several Thousand
dollars The old Merchants Exchange
building opposite the Custom House will
probably require rebuilding. Fissures two
or three inches wide were opened in the
ground in the lower part of the city, where
it is made land; aud some of it was elevated
many inches above It's former level. The
tide rose very high at the time of the shock.
and fell very low Immediately afterwards
Ten or eleven distinct shocks were felt after
the first shock, up to five o'clock Monday
morning, as well as number of slighter
visitations. 1t is estimated that the losses
will amount to 100000, and may exceed
that sum.
Brief accounts from Sacramento, Stock
toh and San Jose represents the shock as
the seyerest ever felt in those cities. Itwas
not felt at Marysville nor at Placerville; but
the town of Santa Cruz felt the shock moro
severely than any other of the State. Sew.
eral brick houses were so badly damaged
