HOMELESS WAHDERERs.-As usual, during
the winter season, Washington is again Wis.
tied by multitude of wanderers, seeking com
I9rt and shelter In the station houses. MANY
without doubt, like Gain, are fugitiyes and
Nagabonds on the earth because of their in
Equity, hut II is hard 10 distinguish betty
them ana the unfortunate, especially when
they appeal 20 our humanity. Washington
has had TO take care of paupers sent here from
other cities. Our citizens have complained
and protested against IL without avail until
they have had 10 adopt measures for seIf-pro.
lection. The deserving poor have never been
turned away, and even the worthless yaga-
bonds are made comfortable, at least for A
night, ana admonished to depart speedily for
CHIMES where they can live without work or
prepare for a term of service at the CITY farm
10 Pay the cost OF their maintainance during
the winter. Some Of our stations are so pom
Nlar as lodging places that Migrants apply in
SnNanCe for soft planks TO sleep on at night
Out generally they are notified that two or three
hlghts they can sleep at a station, and then thew
must be transferred TO the workhouse This

Effects Of the Tornado,

New YORK, November 15.-The Her
AIDS Havana special says: Advices
from Porto Rico to the 9TH inst. have
been received. Aterrible hurricane had
visited the southern portion of the
island, destroying all the crops. Two
hundred lives were lost and four thou
sand families are destitute. Provisions
were to be landed duty free for two
months. Tortola, one of the small Brit
ish West India Islands, between Virgin
Garda and st. Johns, containing an area
of forty-eight square miles, has been
completely submerged by the food fol-
lowing upon the great gale of the 9TH
inst, and it is reported that ten thou
sand lives have been lost. Subscrip-
tions have been opened in Havana for
the relief of the sufferers of st. Thomas.
The loss of the steamship company at
st. Thomas will amount to Sl2 1000, 600.
Some five hundred bodies remaining
nnburied have been buried on the
island.

Aaaira A. Harti.

NEW YORK, November 15.-News has
been received here from the Republic OF
Hayti up to the I'd instant: The news
is important, as it shows that the cause
of General Montez, now confined in q
dungeon OF Cape Haytien, has become
universally popular, which isprobably
owing to the reaction in sentiment,
caused by the riotous proceedings at
Port au Prince against the members OF
the house of assembly, when demand
ing of the government its reasons for
keeping him confined unconstitutionally
and without the benefit OF q trial. A
court martial has been ordered to assem-
BILE instanter for his trial on the accusa-
ton of having headed revolt. The
leading Geffrardists have been expelled
from the Republic.
Advices from Venezuela to the 25th
ultimo have been received. The rebel
lion had been quelled and the insur.
gents pardoned. A new cabinet had
been formed.

Eruption OF Mount Yesuvius.

NEW YORK, November 15.-The Her.
AIDS special, dated Naples, 14th, says
Mount Vesuvius on the east side of the
Bay of Naples, is in volcanic action and
sending forth pillar Of fire which has
q magnificent effect as seen from the
city. New craters have been formed
and the usual point of issue in latitude
40:4O north and longitude 14:26 east is
also engaged. During the past night
red hot stones were elected in large
quantities from the burning mountain.
The surrounding earth is in tremorous
motion for considerable distance.
Lava is pouring forth, running down
the sides of the mountain in volume,
and with rapid flow, and the general
upheaving from the volcano gives warn
ing of a grand eruption.

FROM WASHINGTON.
The Hurricane in Tcxas-0pinion of
Chief Justice Chase-Not a Candi-
date for Re-Eieciion-Loss from
ou-ColIectioa of Taxes.

WASHINGTON, November 15.-The
State Department is informed that
the amount of the losses by the
tornado at MatamOIas in October
cannot yet be computed. Five millions
would be low estimate. At least six
hundred houses have been destroyed
including many valuable warehouses
containing large stocks of goods. So
far as heard from all the ranches are
thrown down for thirty miles around
Matamoras. At the mouth of the river
the destruction was great. Scarcely a
house is left standing. All the river
steamers were wrecked or disabled, cX-
cept the Tamaulipas No. 2, which was
still serviceable. Considering the great
destruction of buildings, the number OF
casualties is not great, probably twenty
killed and forty or fifty more or less
injured. Brownsville suffered equally
with Matamoras, very few buildings
being left uninjured.
The New York Times special says
General Hancock arrived in New Or
leans yesterday, and will forthwith
assume command.
A census of Washington and George
town for school purposes, show the
population of the former to be one hun
dred thousand and the latter fifteen
thousand.
Thaddeus Stevens, who is in Wash.
ington, says he is much better in health
than is reported.
The HeIald's special learns from Rich
mond that Chief Justice Chase is in
favor of such modification of the radical
programme as will preclude negroes
from holding Office, but demands uni,
versal suffrage.
Governor Pierpent has declared that
he is not q candidate for reelection.
The Tribune's special says: Official
reports show that the Government has
lost by the nOn-cOllection of the whisky
tax alone, for the past year, upwards OF
one hsndred million dollars. The loss
on tobacco is set down at $500, 900.
These losses are attributed to the corrup-
ton and mismanagement of collectors.
The President has pardoned c. B.
Crittsnden of Kentucky, who was a
rebel Major-General.

NEW YORK, November 15.-The Con-
seryatiye Republican General Commit
fee of this city met last night and took
stems towards the formation of Central
Grant Club. A meeting for the organi-
cation is to be held tonight. A resolu-
tion declaring it inexpedient to take aa-
ton concerning any nomination OF
Mayor was laid on the table.
Considerable excitement exists in and
about the office of Clark, Webster u Co.,
proprietors of the bankers and mer-
chants gift enterprise. 1t appears that
nearly a million of dollars of the prizes
are represented in petroleum stock, said
to be worthless, on which five per cent.
is demanded on delivery. How much of
the balance of the prizes is equally val
liable is unknown. Quite number OF
cash prizes, averaging from fifty to one
hundred dollars, were paid this morn
ming, five per cent being deducted. The
drawing was done in Washington, and
proceeds at certain rate per day.
The New York State Christian Con-
vention resumed its sessions yesterday
Addresses were delivered by Rev. Dr.
Spring, Rev. DIR. Newman Hall, Rev.
DR.. Adams, Rev. DR.. Cutler, Rev. DR..
Crosby, and many others, and an adj
dress to the Christians of the State was
submitted and adopted. The Conven-
ton held its closing session last even
ing. 49,.
The Herald's Montgomery, Alabama,
special says: In the Alabama Conven-
ton yesterday an ordinance was offered
proposing to con6scate q part of the
Alabama and Mississippi railroad for
the use of the common schools. 1t was
made an order for next Thursday.
An ordinance was also offered that all
debts contracted priorto 1861 are recov-
cradle except those accruing from the
sale of slaves.
Discussion on the franchise question
was postponed until Monday week, the
extremists having determined TO settle
the question in party caucus, from which
the moderate men are excluded.
4 resolution was adopted favoring the
the passage of an ordinance giving
freedmen a fair equivalent for their ser
vices from those prisons who held them
in slavery after January LIST, 1868.
In the caucus of the extremists on
Wednesday night it was decided to con-
suit with Congress on the franchise
question.
