The bark Comet from the Sandwich Islands
brings accounts of terrible volcanic erup-
ton Of Mauno Leo, which began its demon
strations March 9th. During the two weeks
following, to April 49, two thousand earth
anake shocks had occurred. At Way Chena

houses and everything before i. terrible

many. In I'll, one hundred lives we're lost,
besides Thousands Of horses and cattle. The

eEWe find the following in one Of
our Democratic exchanges-we think
it was the Portsmouth Tines
"FoReEmEs The Radical press are
engaged in publishing extracts purpor-
ting to be the utterances of Wade
Hampton, Howell Cobb and other
Southern men, Their object is to in
flame the minds of the people by re-
producing extreme and injudlcious re-
marks that may be made by politicians
in the South. If these extracts were
truly reported they should have no in
Huence upon men OF sense and intelli-
gence. But many Of them have alrea-
dy been pronounced FoRGERIEs and base
misrepresentation We may expect
that kind of work until election day,
4 II is no use to insinuato that these
speeches are forgsries, The N. Y
Tribune had reporter on the ground,
and be took down the great speech Of
Wade Hampton just as he spoke it, and
the Tribune has dared Hampton to deny
word of 1t, but he does not do SO,
II is all true.

Tha PnhIic Deht.

Democratic speakers have become
ashamed Of the lie that the public debt
has increased since the close of the war
But YOU viii sometimes see the same
old lie in some of the smaller fry Of the
Democratic papers.
Secretary McCulloch is an Andy
johnson man, and warm supporter of
Seymour and Blair. Inhis last Annual
Report, dated Nov. 80, 1867, he says:
Since the tlrst aay Of seltember, 1865 the debt
has been reduced s266 1855. 121 43. Now. ifsuch
areduetion could be made while ono third part
OF the country, by reason Of the war and the IN
settled state Of its political affairs has been ex-
ceedinely depressed, and the other two thirds
have BY no means exeftcd their fall productive
power; IL such q reduction cond be
made. notwithstanding the liberal miscellaneous
appropriations hv Congress, the parneht OF
bounties, and the great expense OF maintaining
large military forces upon the frontier ana m Ihc
Southern States, can there be any good reason
why the reduction. so successfully conmehceu
under the most inauspiet0ns elrculnstaneeS'
should not be continued steadily aud without IN
terruption until every dollar Of IL extnguishrd:
The Secretary indulees the hore that the policy
which has been iuaugunled and which, IN his
Judgement is so essential to the national credit,
If not to the preservation Of republican institu-
tions, viii not beabandoned.
That is the testimony borne in favor
of the Republican party, by apolitical
opponent.
This report is TO be found in "Mes-
sage and Documents, 1S67-68, A
bridgment," Page 50. We have this
work in our office, and any one can
see It. The book is an official docu-
ment, and no one will dispute its au-
thority.

erIIon. T., N, Stanton made a great
speech in stenbenyille last week, in the
course Of which he gave the following
dispatch, received by him from Gen.
Grant, Just after the election of Mr.. lin
coin, in 1864:
"CrY PoINT, Nov. l0,'6i,

War:
Enough now seems 10 be known to
say who is to hold the fcins of govern
ment for the next four years.
Congratulate the President for this
double victory. Applause. The e.
lection having passed of quietly with
no boodshed OF riot throughout the
land is a picture worth more to the
country than a battle won. Rebeldom
and Europe will construe it 80,

That shows that Gen. Grant was al
right, politically, at that time,

mWhen the show was here, a goo


nFWhen the show was here, a good
many people were disgusted with the
rebel sayings of the clown. lie was
all the time using rebel slang. lie did
the same in Chillicothe, as will be seen
by the following, from the Advertiser,
the rebel paper of that place:
"KARrcE-Old Sam Lathrop, the
clown in Forepaugh's Show has got the
bond question reduced to a science.
He says the people have got to get
up at 500 and work until l0:40 in or
der that the bondholders may lie in bed
until l0:4O and retire at 1880. The
meaning Of 5:20's is, that it takes the
labor of 20 men TO support 5 men
in idleness. The laboring man gets
$5 of his earnings and pays $40 to the
bondholders.
Now to fully prove that this show is
a rebel concern, we take the following
from the same number of the Adverti-
ser:
"SHowMEN IN TRouBLE,--It seems
from reports that some of the attaches
of Forepaugh's Great Show were en-
gagged in a slight "onpleasantness' at
Waverly Sunday night, during which
several articles belonging to other par
ties were appropriated TO their own
use,
The consequence was that on their
arrival at this city, they were arrested
and held in daraace Wle to answer the
charge Of theft.
Before an examination was had,
however, the matter was compromised
and the parties released,
The supposition is that accusers as
well as accused, had been imbibing too
freely Of what Nasby would call con
oentrated contentment'
That is just what might have been
expected ofsuch showmen. They were
first rebels. AS "a result Of that, they
would first get drunk, and then go to
stealing.

REVISING THE CONSTITUTIONAL
Washington Chronicle expresses the
belief that experience has proved
that the, Constitution OF the United
States had many defects, and that the
time is rapidly approaching for its
revision. What the necessity for re-
vising it is, when it can be so conve-
niently set aside whenever the inter-
ests of party demand, is not apparent.
The Chronicle mentions the one-term
for the Presidency, among other
amendments, which it considers ma
nifestly necessary.
