THE elections in the United States are
the subject Of comment in the English
papers. The London Times, having
carefully studied the occurrences in
this country, states that, in the midst OF
all the nonsense and violence so pre-
dominant 10 American elections, there
is q large and powerful class in the
United States us sensible in their ways
and rs decorous in their language as
any in England. What is seen is the
outside, the froth and foam. The Times
asserts that it is not by the arts and
methods of these violent speakers and
writers that the rulers Of the United
States are really chosen, or their policy
dictated, for if it were so, the mighty
fabric would have long ago been
wrecked.

In THE CITY.-So far rs we cor learn
nearly all the door bells in the city were
rung at n few minutes befor 8 o'clock
this morning by tho earthquake-chsn-
deliers and gas fixtures moved hastily
to and fro-dclf and glass ratified, many
articles were thrown from shelf or table
water in barrels stopped over-clocks
stopped, walls cracked, people ran into
the streets affrighted-the water in
the Sacramento River Mt first receded,
leaving the hulk Globe, on which is the
Office Of the Steam Navigation Compa-
ny, almost surrounded by dry land. In
a short time the river came back with a
first wave ut least two feet in hight,
causing tho hulks, sailing vessels and
steamers at the leyee to surge to and FRO
and champ at their hawscrs. Many PEG.
pie walking on the streets staggered
about like drunken men-horses shook
and snorted, and oil animated nature
seemed aifrighted. No serious damage
has been done in this city. At the
Golden Eagle Hotel the walls Of most Of
the upper rooms were badly cracked
as also at the Capital Hotel. At Denne-
ry's crockery store it was severely felt,
the shelving swaying about for four or
five minutes, but the damage done was
very slight. At the Pacific Hotel, cor
ner of K and Fifth streets, and other
hotels and boarding houses, many per-
sons, while eating breakfast, were
startled by the shock and rushed to tho
street for safety. In many private resi-
dences the same degree Of alarm occur
red. There was q second shock to-day
at lO1 o'clock A. N. and 10Y O'Clock A.

WADE HANProy.-By reference to our
telegram from Cleveland, Ohio, it will
be seen Wade Hampton has written a
letter to o citizen Of that city, and in
which ho denies that the Southern
people intend oyerthrowing tho Recon-
structed State Governments by force Of
arms, as promulgated in Frank Blair's
Brodhead letter. II Hampton bus writ
ten such a letter, which we do not
doubt, and as he is the leader Of the
Southern wing of the Democracy, it
would seem that the Southern fire.
eaters are taking the back track-craw-
fishing from their highcockalorum roost
on this question. But how can Wade
Hampton, at this late day, reconcile his
present position with that he took in
the New York Convention when he
nominated Frank Blair, wholly and
solely upon the policy rs enunciated in
Bair's Brodhcad lettcr-his approval
of which was time and again expressed
in his speeches in South Carolina? Too
late | Too late II If Wade Hampton
aud his political associates were to
write q hundred letters between now
and election day, we would not believe
them. Frank Champions near relation)

Tho ~Enrthqunke.

At 8 o'clock and two minutes this
morning, by the time-piece in the Bee
Office, q heavy shock Of an earthquake
was felt in Sacramento and q lighter
shock was felt at half-past 10. The first
shock startled all our people, and great
fear was expressed for San Francisco
with her heavy buildings and her Tor
mer sad experience in this line. We
arc gathering the facts of this shock
from all parts Of the State, and partic-
ularly from San Francisco.
This seems to be II year Of earth
quakes. st. Thomas, Hawaii, and
South America have experienced lately
the heaviest ever felt, and now Cali
fornia is in company with them.
We don't know that there is any,
thing in it, but Ex-Governor Biglcr
said to US some. ten or fifteen days
since, when the weather was smoky
or hazy, much rs it was at Fair time,
"I don't like this weather | am
afraid Of it it is just like tho weather
in South America preceding an earth
quake" and he went on to in
stance what he had seen and what
followed "But," said he, /" there is
one favorable symptom here-she air is
cold" We thought no more Of it ut
the time, and mention it now only be-
cause the occurrence that he feared has
taken place and for the purpose Of in
stigating inquiry. How can an enrth-
quake give warning of its approach by
affecting the atmosphere This was
more than ten, moro, we think, than
fourteen days ago, when the fires, so far
as tho world knew, were still calm in
their ficrccncss, when the red sen Of
molten lava was undisturbed, before the
gases engendercd had begun to chafe
and fret in their confnemcnt-before,
in fact, it were possible, so far as the
u%nscicntifc can judge, for the cause OF
the earthquake to have any communi-
cation with the atmosphere. 1t may be
q fancy, but the Governor asserted 1t rs
q fact, and declared that the %phenome-
non is readily recognized in South
America. Is this a fnct2 Can tho
atmosphere be SO affected by such
cause, and if so, how and why2-Sae.

GENERAL BLAIR asserts that General
Grant is a mail-clad candidate, whose
bayonets are ut the threats of the
Southern people, and whose proclivities
are in favor of the supremacy of mill
tary power. The Democracy urge that
he is iustinctively inclined to the use Of
armed force to overawe civil authority,
and they denounce him MS an unscru-
pulous soldier, who, in the event of his
election, will rule this country with n
military ~despotism. Let us have
Grants own views upon the subject.
In July, 1866, he said "The necessity
for governing any portion of our terri
tory with martial law, is to be deplored.
If resorted to, it should be limited in
its authority, and should leave all Local
authorities and civil tribunals free and
unmolcsted, until they prove their in
efficiency or unwillingness to perform
their duties" These are the words Of
one who has the highest respect for civil
government. We leave it to nm intelli-
gent public to judge between this
man and his slanderers.

central point of its violence was not in
this city, but the little town Of Hayward,
Alameda County, about IA miles from
Oakland. Generally tho shock was
much more severe in the counties OF
Alameda and Contra Costa than any,
where else.

SPEAKING To-NIGHr.-Col. Charles A.
Sumner, formerly connected with the

Hill Theater tonight, and to which all
parties are invited. He is to advocate
the election of Grant and Colfax-but
not the reelection Of Senator Stewart,
who is to come in for n full share Of the
Colonel's attention during the speech
We are aware that feelings not the most
amiable have existed between these
two gentlemen for several years past
the Colonel's editorials in the News in-
dicated something Of that kind-but We
did not expect that he would "chip in"
Just now, rs the Republican party is
very harmonious and united on the
great principles involved. He is a free
man, however, and has rs much right
to talk about public men as newspaper
editors-or any other man. As the
Colonel is a good speaker, we shall go
to hear him he may have some new
points on Seymour and Blair.

Tho Qualification Of Yoters.

No person not previously a citizen Of the
State, who arrived hero after the third day OF
May, will be entitled to vote at the coming
November election. The impression which
prevails in many minds that the date Of cit.
izenship here commences with the time OF
departure Of the claimant from his home In
another State, is erroneous. There Is no law
to justify such a conclusion. The Constitu-
ton establishes n six monrhs' residence us n
necessary qualification to insure u citizen the
right Of suffrage, and the Constitution has no
force outside the geographical boundaries Of
Nevada.
It is equally an error to suppose that any
citizen of the United States will be permitted
to vote for Presidential electors, while denied
the privilege Of voting for other officers. In
order to be n voter at all, his name must ap-
pear on the poll list Of the precinct in which
he resides,

SLIGHT MIsrAxE.-Tho Gold Hill News
says that the recent Republican victories
were very heavy for the wires, and intimated
that that was the cause Of the breakagc. The
lye was a little too strong for the wires. and
probably corrodsd them so hat they parted.
It is only a slight mistake.-SafegHdrd.
The telegraph operators tell US that
it is a solution of copper mot lye) which
constitutes the batteries for the tcle-
graphic wires. Reasoning from this
standpoint, then, who cannot draw a
good inference from the result Of the
late elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana, that the Copperhead party was
so weak in those States that there was
hardly copperas enough left after the
election to fash the official result to the
Pacific coast.
