FROM LOUISIANA.

New ORLEANS, October 26.-The city
has all day been filled with excited ru-
nors of .he trouble in st. Bernard Pa
IRISH, adjoining New Orleans, and below
this city.
From information brought to head
quarters by the sheriff of the parish and
others, it appears that the difficulty
originated Yesterday on the occasion of
a Subtle display by two Democratic
clubs. when difficulty occurred, in
which one white man and two negroes
we're killed, one being member OF the
new Metropolitan Police force. AZ
night the negroes congregated togeth-
or and proceeded in a body to the house
of "a Spanish baker, killing HIM, his son
his sister-in-law and burning the house
his wife escaping with a child In hel
arms. Two other houses are reported
burnt, at one of which four children
were reported burnt. The rumors are
val ious and conflicting as to the extent
of the outrages. Many white in'labi-
tants ofthe parish deserted their homes
last night and fled TO this city.
Early this morning, upon the first
notification OF trouble, General Buch-
anan ordered a company of infantry td
march down the river, and later in thu
day dispatched another company.

wHATIT MEANS,

Under this heading we have column
of ex )lanations from the Washington
Chronicle, of the meaning of the late
elections. We pass over the bloody
purposes against traitors, ku klux
Klans, Baltimore rutllans, &C., and
come to the more agreeable passages

ternal improvements, inaugurated by
the republican party is to go OH to IT'S
completion, connecting the Atlantic
with the Pacific, and developing the
material resources of the country that

THE SPANISH REVOLUTION,

It is already very evident that the
Spanish revolution means not only the
overthrow of the clerical party, which
had rendered itself obnoxious by the
support which it gave to the old govern
meIt, but also an attack upon the
Church itself-that is to say, not against
its teachings and its spiritual affairs, but
against its temporal influences and It's
assumption of power. At Seville. the
Junta has already closed several mo-
nasreries and converts, and dismissed
the occupants. A seminary has been
closed and the scholars have been sent
to heir parents. AT Madrid, the tel
egraph reports be true. convent mas
been pillaged aid afterwards set fire to.
This latter, to be sure, is the unlicensed
and brutal action OF mob, but it shows
the popular feeling, and the steps al
ready taken by the Junta at Seville m
dicate very plainly the course that Will
be followed Paris letter-Baltimore Ga
zette.

GEN. GRANT ON NEGRO STUFF GE.

In his speech in New YORK city the
ether night, Judge Pierrepont (radicai,
though he was democrat at the time
he held the conversation with GRANT,
said /:
lone day at his house in Washington
Will he WAS secretary of War. told
him that l thought he would make
good democratic candidate If he was
right on the question of negro suffrage.
He replied that he had no wish for the
presidency that he had now much
higher office than he had ever expect
ed: that General Sherman would make
a good President, and that he would
gladly give the half he is worth to make
Sherman or any fit man President. !:
that his feelings and sentiments were
entirely opposed to negro suffrag !;
but that he did not wish to be restrained
by any pledges from the right to change
his opinion in future if new exigencies
convinced him that he was wrong; for
said he, you will remember that early
in the war when was in command of
the West, publicly stated that II the
negroes had al insarrection, would
hold my army in check until it was put
down. But long before the war was
over, should have been glad of an in
surrection. and would have moved my
army all the faster. What | want is
the Union-the whole country return
ed to peace and submissive to the laws.
lido not like universal negro suffrage
now but their freedom ought to be pro-
tected, and if the only way to protect
them in their helpless condition is to
give them the suffrage then | shall be
| in favor of letting them vote. want
the Union restored and the South to
come back, obey the laws and submit;
as good citizens, and ifthe future proy's
that they will not do it without negro
suffrage, then would give hem negro
suffrage" [Applause.l

THE EARTHQUAKE IN CALIFORNIA,

Details of the destruction of proper
ty in the interior of the State by the
earthquake OF the 2lst have been re-
ceived. Alameda county suffered the
most damage to property. extending III
ALI directions back to San Leandro. =
Numerous assures of earth were made,
from some of which came clouds OF dust,
and others volumes of water. San Lee
andre creek, which for months was dry,
is now running rapidly. The stream OF
water is in some places hot. The VII
lagos of San Leandro and Hayward are
almost in ruins. The brick buildings
atc all thrown down or uninllabitable.
There was only one building uninjured
a. Alamado. Brooklyn and Oakland
also suffered severely. At San Jose,
Redwood City, Great Brick, and Adobe
House, and the Mission of San Jose, are
mass of ruins. Tetoleuma, Healtlis-
burg, Santa Rosa Valley, and Marta
nez. all felt the full Iorce OF the shock.
Chlmneys and walls were thrown dowa.
The damage to properly is consdera-
BILE at Los Angeles. In the State OF
N evada the earthquake was scarcely
eflt.
The San Francisco Committee of Ar
chitects report the City Hall unsafe,
and the building is to be taken down.
Damage to the schooi-houses is thrilling,
and the schools open as usual on Mon
day next. The United States Marine
Hospital building has been condemned
and will be demolished. The patients
are at present encamped on the grounds
adjoining the hospital. The custom
house is wrecked TO such an extent that
it will probably not be Occupied again.
Laborers are at work to-day on the shat
tered buildings, removing the debris
from the streets.
The shock at 2.15 A. NJ, yesterday
did more damage and injured more
buildings. Some chimneys Of different
manufactures which suffered consider
ably during the first shock now have Il
he demolished and rebuilt. Some per
| sons place the loss mt three hundred
thousand dollars; others at two millions
The latter figures are probably neares
the precise loss.
