Great Earthquakes.

The New York Werdid, in q notice Of
the recent terrible earthquake in South
America, says:
The South American earthquake will
take rank among the most dreadful con-
WILSON'S of modern times. When all
the details are known it may be found
to have been more disastrous than that
at Lisbon Oh November J., l755, when
sixty thousand people were killed and
the CITY laid in ruins. The present cen
tury has been prolific in such cOnvul-
sions of nature. In ISL the western
part of this country was visited by q
most severe shock, traces of which are
still to be found in the region extending
from the mouth of the Ohio river to that
of the st. Francis. On March 2G, 1872,
another earthquake destroyed the city
of Caracas, Venezuela, burying beneath
the ruins twelve thousand Of its inhabi-
tants. From December L., 1857, to Jan
uary. 1853, the Kingdom of Naples was
visited by violent shocks, and the loss
Of life is estimated to have been about
thirty thousand. On June 10, 1888, tho
Mexican republic met with like fate
The city Of Quito, Ecuador, was like.
wise shaken in March 80, and some
thousands of lives lost. But more re.
Gently we had to chronicle the disas
trous earthquakes in Central AmericG
and the West Indies last October. and il
the Sandwich Islands in the beginning
of April Of this year. The losses in the
West Indies, although severe, were fal
| inferior to those caused by the prescn
! 81, taI a
about twenty millions Of dollars anC
some hundreds of lives lost. In thu
| Sandwich Islands the damage done wa
still less. The reason Of this is clear
the regions travcrsed by the shocks ar,
about in the same ratio as to extent anC
density of population as the respective
losses. Just a year previous to thi
South American earthquake Il most vic
lent shock was felt in the East Indies
and was followed in October by tn,
| West India commissions. In each cas-
the direction of the earthquake CORES
pended with the mountain ranges. jus
as the line of the direction Of the shock
in the present case corresponds witt
the range Of the Andes Mountains.
is also noticeable that the most violcn
earthquakes have taken place about tn
time when the periodical displays o
mcteors are due--that is, about th
months Of April, August, October, No
vcmber and December. Ever since til
earth got into the great meteoric belt
in November, 1867, we have had t,
chronicle unusually disastrous earth
quakcs. Can it be that the electric lik
shocks of earthquake are generated b.
the contact of the metallic portion of thi
belt with the sulphurlc cn'anations o
the volcanoes?

The October Elections.

The Boston Post specializing upon
the October elections says:
Larger results. have never depended
Oh the fall State elections than will
make themselves visible this year. The
three important, and, we may say the
decisive elections to occur in October
are those in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and
Indiana, and they take place on the
same day, the 18th. Coming so very
near to the general election in Novem'
ber-but three weeks-thcir immediate
influence on that event will tell visibly
Should they be very closely contested
we shall witness an increased intensity
of effort on both sides i'll every State tC
secure the final triumph; but in case the
Democrats and Conservatives sweep
these three great States clean Of the YES
tiges Of radicalism, the November con
clusion, in fair and open trial, will be
foregone one. The Radical party ma!
then consider themselves fairly embark
ed on an ebb tide, to be driltcd out tC
sea that has no shore.

The following extraordinary state
ment comes through the Patriot, pub
lishcd at Atchison, in the State of Kan
sass.
We are informed by Mr. J. P. Brown,
of the firm of Brown & Bier, contrac-
tors for building the Catholic Church in
this city, that every brick in this mann
moth building contains quantity OF
fine gold. This fine cdiiice probably
contains more brick than any block il
the city. For long time the workmen
and bricklayers have noticed small
specks in the bricks resembling gold
but which, of course, they little though
was in reality the precious metal. Yes
terday Mr. Hempler, the architect. hay
inc pulycrizcd several of the bricks, as
certaincd beyond a doubt, by the aid o
chemicals, that they really contained
gold.
The bricks were manufactured at thu
llilns just below Ct. w. Gillcspic's 4
Cos saw mill, and it is supposed tina
gold may be found in quantities on tn,
bluff, just west Of the brick kiln.

The NIc-lish-us Proclamation.

The papers in all directions are severe
upon Governor Brownlow's proclama-
ton calling on the militia to organize.
We think. in view of the real facts of
the case, His Excellency has made ano-
Their serious mistake. The following is
from the Nashville Union and -Amcr-
can of the 18th:
Scarcely have the people had time to
felicitatc themselves upon the prospect
of pacitication afforded by the guaran-
tee of the Federal authority to MAIN
tain the laws and preserve order, before
they are startled with an incendiary
proclamation from the Governor. 1t Is
brute thunder only rs yet, but none the
less flagitious and wicked in the mo-
tivcs which inspired it; and is intend
ed to be as widely mischicvous rs pos
| sible. With the presence Of Federal
troops in ample numbers and at every
point that they may be desired TO be
sent. the Governor of this State know
there is no necessity for the organiza
ton ola militia force. His conscience
if he has one, convicted him as ever!
word Of This proclamation fell from III
pen. that he was pcrpctrating q cold
bloodcd. cruel, wanton and useless &C
of injustice to the people and injury tt
the best interests Of the State.

The Differences!

Gov. Seymour pays heavy taxes on
all his personal property, and because
he owns no bonds he is "copperhead
and traitor" Sinking no duty as a
citizen, he is rewarded with vitupera-
ton and taxes! Every where there arc
richer men who sold their landed prop
erty and invested in government bonds
to save taxation. The right to do this
is not questioned, but is result Of Re
publican law making. Pay taxes ant
you are "Traitor." Pay no taxes ant
YOU are q "Patriot!"

The Queen of Spain,

Queen Isabella, of Spain, weighs two
hundred and twenty-five pounds. She
has become very homely. and when she
appears in public with her two eldest
daughters, both of whom are very hand
some girls, the contrast is most striking.
The Queens husband is the very en-
bodiment Of stupidity; he looks in his
gorgeous uniform like an idiot wonder
ing why they have dressed him up 81
nicely. He is always head over ears il
debt, and the Queen herself is likewise
mostly short Of funds. The better clas
of Madrid society look with profound
contempt on the royal family. As ;
proof of the Queens unpopularity a
the capital of Spain, it is said that there
is in Madrid scarcely single girl bear
ing the name Isabella.

other things, Judge Black writes thus;

directly or indirectly from his crooked

ALWAYS been mere sneak /; as states
man there is nothing of him at all, OK
ccpt a shameless disregard of the Con-
stitution he swcars to support. The
man who made that silly and yet afro
cious boast to Lord Lyons can inspire
nothing but disgust in the minds ofany
Christian people.
DO not let your crcdulity be imposed
on by his professions of faith i'll the De-
mocratic creed. lie is convert with
out conviction: he will be n backslidel
upon the first temptation. With his prin.
ciples, or rather his want of principles
he can find sympathy and admiration
in the party which he served by kid.

and law, he and his little bell arc boil
