Ed HERALD-Dsar Sir: l see BY the news
papers that an earthquake! occurred on the
morning Of the 2lst inst, extending along
the coast and harbor Of San Francisco, and is
said to baye been felt 10 some Of the interior
towns, soaring few tmid men and few
nervous old ladies, and doing a slight amount
Of damage to some buildings, besides killing
by accident four persons 10 the city OF SAP
Francisco
Now, Mr.. Editor, was so unfortunate as
to be in the city a. the time above mention
ed. 1t being my first experience In anything
of tie kind, | of course very readily yielded
my opinion to that Of others, but on exam
ming the effects of the shock, which was
chiefly confined to that part Of the city below
the old water line, and reading the accounts
given by The city papers as 10 the amount Of
damage sustained, am forced TO the conclu'
sion that they have been 90 very partial in
their statements or estimates Of the real
damage, that they have not only done them
selves injustice, but also the outside public,
and in this view am sustained by the Cham
Der of Commerce. However, the shock does
not seem to have been so severe in San Fran.
cisco, AS along the east side of the Bay. AT
Hay wards, the terminus Of the Alameda r.
r.. it was terrible; the whole earth around
there seems to have been raised bodily up,
shaking itself and settling down again in
great force, having no more regard for wood
en- buildings than for brick or stone, demo-
ishing all alike, leaving many Of them
complete and total wreck. The earth parted
in line running from northwest to south
eas! through the town, and may be traced
for distance of l2 or Is miles, and is from
fifteen to twenty feet wde from which water
spouted~soms thirty feet high in number OF
places. This parting is not open now but is
composed OF cracks from one to eight inches
wide. Olber towns along the line suffered
severely.
The shocks have continued at intervals
and irregular in force, up to i o'clock 26'h,
and how much longer they will continue, or
when the grand final termini shall arrive and
we be.passed on the great tidal wave deep
down into the dark shades of the doubtful
future. is Of course bsy yond the conception Of
mortal man.

CALIFORNIA.

Both parties yet claim to have carried this
State, and the vote is now so close that 1t
will requir the official count to decide The
result. As to the national result the vote is
DOW no longer a matter of importance, as
Grant is elected President Of the United
States beyond a doubt; but for The sake OF
the principles we advocated, and the true
interests Of the whole Pacific Coast, We do
hope tha. she has pronounced for Seymour
and Blair.
Money was used, lavisbly used, by our op
ponents, aud that the very money that a
corrupt Congress bad robbed the people Of,
and if we have been beat, it has been by this
corruption fund sent here from the East
1t is useless to deny the power of money
over a certain percentage of the voters of
the United States; bu. while this is true, we
still hold that the great mass are honest,
and that the men who voted the Democratic
ticket, voted it from the purest of motives.
That both speakers and voters were hired,
purchased, and Influenced by our opponents,
through money, and through the very money
that the Government and people bave been
robbed Of, there is not shadow Of doubt
in our mind, and if this corruption extended
to two per cent. Of the voters Of California,
Auburn can furnish her quota at that figure }
then is this State to-day honestly Democratic
by from four TO five thousand votes. Gen
era Jackson once said, that forty per cent.
ocrats, thirty per cent. Federasts, fifteen
per cent. were influenced by the party that
made the most noise aud told the most lies,
and that the other fifteen per cent. were in
The market, and could be purchased by
money, or what is regarded, as to them, its
equivalent. If General Jackson was to-day
living, he would be more than convinced
OF the accuracy Of bis statement. Corrup'
ton must be exhibited n all its naked de-
formity, aud stuck right under the eyes Of
some good men, before they will believe ii;
therefore, there were doubling thousands, as
to the corrup,ious and thieyiug of their party
at Washington, who voted the Mongrel
ticket Last year this class of our voters
bad the evidences of the mean, miserable,
and corrupt administration of Gov. Low, and
his adberents, at home, and before their
eyes. They knew that Gorham, bis lobby,
and the Mongrel Legislature, had made
bold attempt to rob the State Of franchises,
Tide and Marsh lands worth millions upon
millions Of dollars; and to loan the credit of
the State TO grasping, soulless corporations
for vas! sums more, and then they voted for
Haight, the Democratic ticket and over
threw the corrupt and wicked cabal that
were attempting to both rule and ruin Cali.
fornia. Congress will not cease its tyrany,
its grasping Of power, its over riding of the
Constitution, and it's corruptions, and if
Grant plants himself in their path, he will be
treated as johnson has been. In either
event the eyes Of the good and true men Of
all parties will be opened, and at the next
years election we may confidently look for
a repetition of that Of last year, and trum.
plant Democratic victory.

Put Its Foot in Again.

Twice before the Stripes has put its shovel
in where there was no dirt for it, in personal
matters, and sung mum when it was warned
of what it had done, and now it has started
again. The case now is that of young
clerk who voted the Mongrel ticket, $50 the
Stripes says and his employer was FORTH
with waited upon and told that if the clerk
was not discharged, that ten Democratic
families would not trade with him, etc. Now
we know all about this matter, and know
that the statements of the Stripes are not
true, but false in fact, and in deduction.
We are ashamed of a newspaper which has
no more respect for its columns, and the
young man in question. and bis friends who
mised him, than to drag them before the
public in so silly and damaging a light
1t is generally believed that man that will
lie, will steal, ard if there are those who are
unwilling to do business with such, even
though they be mere clerks, that is their
business. The proofs are all at hand Of every
act, and word, of all concerned, from two
weeks before down to two days after the
election, even to what was promised, what
was done and said, the bet, and the induces
ment for the casting Of the Grant vote, but
we will not now publish the whole facts. II
the Stripes will retract its article in the
next issue all may pass, if not. then let the
guilty suffer by publication of all the facts,
which will exhonorate Democrats, and leave
the whole blame on members Of the Repubi
can party. Should it be necessary to make the
proofs legal, then there is two points 10 the
case which may call for judicial investigation.
But for the prossness of the article 10 the
Stripes we should have been wiling to let
the whole matter pass.

1.-THE Ultra KukIux."

This is the title Of New Rebel paper
just started at Jefferson Texas. 1t runs up
the names Of Seymour and Blair Speak
ing of the work it has TO do, the paper says
in its Prospectus
This is a dirty work, but somebody must
do it, and The Ultra Kukytlr being well inn
pressed that forbearance was never q virtue,
and that truth and error arc extremes, will
abuse the carpet baggers and scallawags up
to the hub FOR the money. This paper will
advocate the Democratic theory Of our
government, and will heartily cooperate
with white men and Democrats throughout
the length and breadth of the land.
This precious moroccan shows the spirit of
the party. There is little doubt in any
quarter that il is dirty work The editor
himself admits IT, il is said that that
great snake near Triune, which has made
such stir, has at length been killed He
was diScoU0ed By his o6enSiUe smell and the
country broathcs freer now that he is dead.
Loyal men North and South can detect
a Copperhead Rebel by his scent without
the editor Of Ultra RakyRG" procaiming
the stink, and they will kill him By their
UoteS as effectually as the Triune anaconda
was dispatched.
