DIsFELLOwsHIP IN RHODE ISLAND
On the Goth ultmo, the Rhode Island Baptist State
Convention, then In session In Providence adopted
resolution in effect disfellowshipping the Second
Baptist Church Of Newport the convention solemnly
declaring that In its judgment "a church inviting to

THE RELIGION OF MR. DIsRAELI-HOw THE POET
ROGERS CONVERTED HIM.
The London Je,otsh Chronicle, a very high author
ity among the people whose views it advocates,
has the following remarks in reference to the new
Premier and Judaism:-''There seems, indeed, to be
Q singular mistake as to the relation OF Mr..
Disraen to Judaism Some Jews censure him as
an apostate, and urge his apostacy az an instance
OF tergivcrsatiOn. Some Christians scor at him as
q Jew, with singular disregard of all they
owe to the Hebrew race. Now, the fact is
that, IN plain English, Dsrae Is neither apOstate
nor a Jew. He was born Of Hebrew parents His
father, Isaac Disraeli, the author and his mother
Jewish families. His grandfather and grandmother,
indeed, rest In the PortuguesefCemeterya at Me-end.
Benjamin Disraeli was admitted into the communion
OF Israeli but his father thinking fit to quarrel with
ms synagogue, failed to teach his child Judaism.
One day Rogers, the celebrated banker poet happen
ing to visit at Isaac Disraes house at Hackney when
BENJAMIN was about five or six years old, and re-
GREETING to find 80 intelligent youth without reli.
gious instruction, took him to Hackney Church. From
this event dates his absolute and complete severance
from the Jewish communion. He became Christian
and great genius was lost to us.

March 27.EA strike has occurred among the
operatives of the coal mines at Ebarleroi; in
Belgium. The discontented workmen assem-
bled in body, and soon became riotous. The
authorities found il necessary to call out the
troops TO repress the disorder. After the rioters
had been warned to dcsst and dispense, they
were at last fired upon by the soldiers, and
many ofthem Killed and wounded. The latest
kilograms announce that the riot has been sup
pressed, aud that the town is tranquil 20.

ImDeDchment,

Mr.. Butler proceeded with the open
ing speech on the part OF the Managers.
he reviewed the impeachment cases in 9TH
er counties to show what were impeach-
able offences which were acts subversive
of some fundamental or essential princi-
pie of government or highly preiudicial
to the public interest This might con-
sist of violation of the constitution, of
law, of an official oath, orof duty by any
act committed, or without positive viola
ton of the law by the abuse of discre-
tionary power from improper motives,
or for any improper purpose. @
Mr.. Butler concluded his argument as
follows: ... ...' r .f
Who does not know that from the
hour the President began his usurpations
of power, he everywhere denounced Con-
gress, the legality and constitutionality
OF its actions, and detied its legitimate
powers, and for that purpose announced
his intention, and carried out his purpose
as far as he was able, of removing every
true man from office who sustained the
Congress of the United States, and it is
to carry out his plan Of action that he
claims the unlimited power of removal,
for the illegal exercise OF which he stands
before you this day Who does. not
know that in pursuance of the same plan
he used his veto power indiscrimina' ely
to prevent the passage Of wholesome
laws, enacted for the pacication, of the
country; and when the laws were PASSED
by the constitutional majority over his
vetoes, he made the most determined op-
position, both open and covert, to them
and for the purpose of making that op-
position etfectual, he endeavored to array,
aud did array, all the people lately in re-
bellion, to set themselves against Con-
gress, and against the true and loyal
men, their neighbors, SO that murders,
.assassinations, and massacres were rife
all over the Southern States, which he
encouraged by his refusal TO consent that
a single murderer be punished, though
thousands of good men have been slain
and further that he attempted by mil
litary order to prevent the execution of
acts of Congress by the military COM
manders who were charged Herewith.
These and his concurrent acts show
conclusively that his, attempt to get the
control of the military force of the gov
ernment, blythe seizure Of the Depart
ment OF War, was done In pursuance of
his general design, if it were possible
to overthrow TIE Congress of the United
States, and he now claims by his own will
for the execution of his every design ev-
cry officer of Army, Navy, Civil and Di-
plomatic service of the United States, he
asks you here, Senators, by your solemn
adjudication to confirm him in that right
to invest him with that power to be used
with the iitents,. and for the purpose
which he has already showed. .

The Earthquake in California.

Hardly iess startling than the late eruption OF
Hawaii, or the still more recent c0nyUleions IL
South America, i the news received from Ear
Frnci-eo by the late nailz, chTonicling the mOsr
disastrous shocks that have ever occurred within
the United States since their establishment az a
nation. IL has been 80 fully described in the
numerous CalifOTnia papers received that We need
not give the details at length. Suffice 1t 20 say
that hundreds, If not thousands o. houses ia the
city, and az many more in the villages about,
received more o. les damage from il. In a few
Instances it resulted in the total destruction Of
buildings. But such instances are not numerous.
IT We axe into consideration the o0st Of repairing
and reeonstructing tie buildings on which the
earthquake has left its marks, the oost can only
be covered by millions Of dJIlan.
Private letters, which give fuller details, esti-
mate the general lOss to be larger than what the
raTers give il. But whatever it may be. it shows
tie terrible eonvu!si1ns going On in the earth,
which have sucessively broken out in various
quarters-frst in tie West Indies, then on Hawaii,
then in Peru, and lastly in California. Whether
they are u cease now, or extend to sections hi;h-
erro considered entirely exempt from them, re-
mains Yet u be seen. Tie fact, however, that
seyere shocks have been felt lately in Ireland,
Australia and other countries where they were
before unknown, may indicate what may follow.
There can be no doubt Of some connection be
tween these various volcanic Commissions. or that
they all originate from ono source but, under
some law not thoroughly understoOd, the scat Of
action moves from one section 10 another Of the
earth's crust. The disturbance Of the internal
forces i undoubtedly create and more general
than at any time for many years, perhaps for a
century. - long as this continues, there is no
telling where earthquakes will next be felt, nor
can any section Of the globe be considered exempt
from them.
The late remarkably smoky atmosphere, which
extended from Puget Sound to Cape -. Lucas,
and as far west as this group, unquestionably had
a volcanic origin. Where the smoke came from
no one appears az yet to have learned. IL GER
tainly did not originate ia or near this group.
But il may have come from the ocean, between
this group and the mainland.
Our own belief is that there is 4 submarine
range of mountains now forming, some two or
three hundred miles distant from the California
coast, and that in this range there are submarine
volcanoes, which are occasionally active. Some
two years ago when the bark Comet. was 80 miles
distant from the coast, opposite San Diego, q very
heavy earthquake shock, was felt, which gave the
idea 10 all on board that the vessel was aground.
Again last week We quoted an item from the san
Francisco Times, giving the report of the ship
BrOughtOa. which experienced similar shocks on
her passage to this port, and met the dense smoke
referred 10, which appeared to rise cut of the sea.
When Lieut.. Brooke, in the schooner Fenai-
