The Fatal Landslide at .HUples

A sad disaster has befallen ono of the
most beautiful quarters of this city. Last
night, about 6.45 o'clock there was q land
slip of that huge tufa mountain which
towers up above the corner of Santa Lucia
leading round to the Chiatomone, over
whelming the shops and dwelling houses
which lay below. The report in the city
early this morning was that 30 bodies had
been already disinterred, but as little trust
is to be placed in statements in moments
of excitement, procured the escort of
Guard of Public Security and was admit
ted to the scene of the disaster Many
who read this will remember how long
they have fingered at several coral and
print shops just at the turn of Santa Lucia;
less agreeable "reminiscences they will have
of one or two wine-shops and trattorsc
frequented by the people. Well, are all
overwhelmed, and how many unhappy be-
ings lie buried beneath is up to the pres.
ent time unknown. In some respects
was reminded of the appearance of Tore
del Greco during the earthquake Of 1861
there were long beams and rafters
standing perpeudicularly out of the rub

with the ruins; sections of houses which
cling to and climb up the cliff were ap.

but the Inhabitants and fa,ades, indeed
the greater portion of the houses lay en-
bodied beneath the mass of tufa which
lay piled high beneath, obstructiug all
communication between the city aud the

was most painful to think of the amount
of suffering that lay buried there without
the possibility of relief, for the work of

Our. washington difficulties.

ONr btNSHthyIOn DeWctEGtteS.
The New York Herald, in referring to
the difficulties between the President and
Congress, puts forth the four following
editorials which we take from that paper
of the 26th of February
THE scANDALoUs CONFLICT AT WASH
INGToN-THE GOVERNMENT UNDER A
CLOUD.
A three penny tax on tea precipitated
the American Revolution. British taxa.
ton without representation detached thir.
teen of its choicest American colonies
from the British Crown, and eliminated
in their recognition as the independent
republic of the United States of America
In 1889 the States were established in
''the more perfect Union of the federal
constitution Under this government,
Notwithstanding the blotch of African
slavery, the country aourished as the
"model republic" down to the late pro-
slavery rebellion. AS model of popular
sovereignty, prosperity, economy and tax,
atoms so light as hardly to be felt, its
fame extended "from the rivers to the
ends of the earth.' The down trodden
people of the Old World looked West
ward with longing eyes and outspoken as
pirations, while their royal rulers and feu.
dial aristocracies preached and plotted our
domoral zation, dissolution and destruc.
tion. With the suppression of the most
formidable rebellion in the history of the
human race we achieved something more.
In addition to the simplicity, freedom and
cheapness Of our popular institutions, as
proved in peace, their inherent strength
in the severest trials of war became the
wonder and admiration of the world
But where are we now Where are
the economy and cbeapness of our repub-
lican system I How paltry appear the
stamp acts and tea taxes of the old Brit
ish colonial regime uiS a-vis with the i'm
posing schedules of our present. internal
