Earthquake in California. ,.,.... ...,

we're earthquake which destroyed large quantity Of
property, A paragraph ip an exchange furnishes
the following account: ...,l 20 o.. i. III,
The series of oscillations which opened seams in
the earth, shook down walls, chinneys and para
pets, and destroyed life and property together, be-
gan about eight o'clock on Wednesday morning,
18th alt, and we're continued until midnight. The
public buildings in San Francisco were, many Of
Them either ruined for occupancy, or rendered in
secure, while in an entire section of the city every
thing like business was suspended, the people a
bahdoning their houses and taking to the streets.
The excitement Over the visitation was universal
and profound 1.-THE motions Of the earth were felt
farinto the interior, and lover o large breadth of
country. In fact, the report credits the interior
towns and cities with much more severe visitation
than the coast Sacramento, Stockton. Maryss,,
vile, Redwood, Sonora, and the Grass Valley all
felt the successive shocks, the population bang

which the Navy Yard is located, felt two shocks
which were severe. The waters in San Francisco
bay were not viisibly disturbed although those on
board the vessel describe the sensation as like that

edH connect these circumstances, apparently not
yet over, with the greet tidal phenomena by which
the coast towns of South. America we're recently
overwhelmed, and vessels in port taken up and
driven inland. These Internal commotions Of moth

Gen. Grant ON Negro Suffrage. .,....
II In speech delivered 10 New York, short
time age, Judge Pierrepont radical, though he
was Democrat at the time he held the converse
ton with Grant, said:- ~
One day at his housein washington, whlle ne
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 expected; that General Sherman would make
a good President, and: that be would gladly give
the half he was. worth to make Sherman or any
other t man President; that his feelings and SEN
timents were entirely opposed to negro suffrage
but that he did not wish to be restrained by any
pledges from the right to change his opinion in to-
ture If new exigenc; convinced him that he was
wrong for, said he, you will remember that early
in the war, when I was in command Of the West,
publicly stated that If the negroes had an insur,
recton l would hold my army in check untll it was
put down. But long before the war was over
should have been glad of a negro insnrrectio9, and
would have moved my army all the faster. What
want is the Union-the whole country, returned
to peace and submissive to the laws. ! do not hike
universal negro suffrage now, but the freedmen
ough to be protected, and if the only way protect
them in their helpless condition is to give them the
suffrage, thenI shall be in favor OF letting them
vote, I want the Union restored, and to have the
South come back. obey the laws, and submit as a
good citizens; and if the future proves that they
will not as It without negro suffrage, then l would
| give them negro suffrage -
