A PARTING WORD.

KIND FRIENDS: Again it becomes my
duty to bid you a kind FAREWELL When
this duty devolved upon me, a little over
four years ago, little thought to resume
one of the editorial chairs Of the INoUIREB
so soon thereafter, but, you know, there is a
"destiny shapes our ends" and now after
over three years Of anxious and ceaseless
toll, with hat in hand" I stand awaiting
the "drop of the curtain.
This time | bid you GOODBYE, without
hope of ever meeting you again in the
capacity, which | now, for a second time,
sever. The years of incessant labor which
l have spent, for our mutual advantage, it
is needless to say, have been, in very many
respects, years of pleasure and profit. The
only regret that | have is that so little has
been accomplished.
In every relation in life I invoke upon
you, one and all, Cons choicest blessings.
1t is unnecessary for me to refer to my
successor, who has been my companion in
pleasure and pain, through good report
and evil report" for three years and up
am.
To my brethren of the Press, who have
ever treated me with the greatest courtesy,
/ return my warmest acknowledgements and
Iassure them that they will ever find in me
one who can appreciate theirarduous labors.
J. R. DURBORROW.

EARTHQUAKE WAVES ON THE PACIFIC.
The San Francisco Bulletin says.-"An
earthquake wave which followed the recent
eruptionin the Sandwich Islands was trans
mitted to this coast and recored on the
Government self registering tide gauges at
San Francisco and Astoria in about five
hours. On the 90 Of December, 1854, a
similar wave was transmitted from the coast
of Japan to the Golden Gate in II hours
and SO minutes. 1t will be recollected that
this earthquake wave caused the wreck OF
the Russian frigate Diana in the port oi
Simoda and great loss of life. These facts,
which are derived from the best authority,
convey a very impressive idea of the ire
mendous power required to disturb the
whole body of an ocean, for a distance offrom
| 5000 TO 5000 miles, by movement distinct
| from its ordinary tidal swing. Ii will be
seen that the revulsion of the great tida
wave at Hawaii reached the coast, distant
over 1000 miles, in five hours, and wa:
observed along a stretch of shore over l.
geographical degrees in length.

WHILE the rebel Democracy never tire of
heaping abuses on the head of Thaddeus
Stevens, he occasionally wins tribute from
some honest enemy like the following from
the Galveston (Texas) Bulletin
"While we disagree with him and dis
approve of many of his projects, we cannot
but admire his terrible earnestness. No
man not thoroughly convinced of his own
rectitude and Of the innate wisdom of his
acts, would, day by day, follow them out
with such intense anxiety, while the clods
of the grave were crumbling beneath his
feet. Day after day he totters OF is carried
into the House, straining the brittle threads
of life, for the purpose of accomplishing q
political act-an act from which he can gain
no possible good, but which he processes to
believe necessary for the good of the country
and of its people. No man can read the
daily reports of Congress, and doubt the
honesty Of this old man nor the pureness of
his motives, however much he may doubt
their wisdom. Right or wrong, still the
sight Of Thaddeus SteaveDs, battling for
that which he thinks is right, with scarcely
an hours lease of life, is oDeof the grandest
views Of human nature that the manhood
of the present century has afforded US.

W. B. MANN AND ISAAC HAzLEHURsT
the rival Republican candidates for the
District Attorneyship in Philadelphia have
both withdrawn. The withdrawal of Mann
indicates the complete triumph of the re-
form movement over the ring and Hazel

dissensions and enable us to roll up an over

THF DIFFERENCE.

Many people are at loss to account
for the declension of so many from the
Republican ranks especially of those
who came over during the war. But
it can all be accounted for on principles as
old as creation. The man who holds true
Republican views occupies Of necessity a
higher moral position from which in the
weakness of his human nature he is at all
times liable to fall, and nothing but contin-
ual effort and advancement can keep him in
that position. The moment he begins to
decline his natural tendency by force Of
moral gravitation is toward copperheadism
On the contrary to rise from copperheadism
to Republicanism requires vigorous and
sustained effort toward moral elevation and
the moment the effort ceases, the subject
inevitably falls back to his old condition.
Many, who, quickened by love of country
during the war, rose for the time to the
ranks of Republicanism, lacking the stimu-
lus of the country's imminent danger to
sustain them, viii backslide and return to
their old level and their last estate will be
worse than their first because more hope
less.

A Southern View OF the Democrauc
Platform and Candidates.
[FrOm the Charlottesville (va.) Chronicle

FROM the SuaFlottesFllle " a. NhrOhlcle.l
We of the South have no interest in this
debt We hold none of the bonds We
were injured by its contraction, inasmuch as
it was the means by which our liberties were
wrested from US; but still, as we have In
good faith gone back into the Union, we are
willing-not anxious, by any means-to
have it fairly paid. because we want the
country to settle down into condition of
peace and prosperity, so that we can develop
our own resources. On the whole, we
think the platform satisfactory, although
we would have preferred an explicit declara-
ton Of the unconstitutionality of the recon-
struction acts Of Congress, as that is a sub
ject so vital to us that we cannot afford to
risk any misconstruction.
We could not have asked either, a SCUM
der man on the questions in which the
South is interested, than Mr.. Seymour
While we have no sympathy with bondhold-
ing interest, with which we believe Mr.. Sey
mour is interested and preferred the views
of Mr.. Pendleton, the suffrage question is
the one which overshadows all others, and
we wanted to see the strongest man who was
sound on that nominated, without reference
to anything else.
General Blair was an Abolitionist and a
war man, but those are dead issues, aud if
he was sincere in his recent letter, he will
answer our purpose

November the Presidential electors For
abstaining from carrying the State, the

far as a be learned, to lead any oil
those at work in this matter to hope
that he will lend himself to it, on the
contrary, his expressions both dis
couraged them and almost destroyed
their hopes of any moral support from
Mr.. Chase. He said last night to
some friends, that it was entirely too
late for any such move to succeed,
and that now, as for himself, he de-
sired it Withdrawn from politics.
The Express this evening has a
double headed article denouneinp the
project of substituting Chase for Sew
mour. The article has considerable
significance from the fact that this
paper has lately ONE into possession
of parties who are cOnductingit i'm the
interest of the Congressional Demo-
cratic Committee, and further. that
the editor and chief proprietor, with
Montgomery Blair, constitute the FL
nance Committee of that body. Many
believe that Montgomery is himself
responsible for the article.
The best informed among the DEM
Ocrats here believe that the movement
will not only prove a failure, but that
the fact.Of proposing the change in
such q public manner will have a
most disasterOus effect upon the No
vember election. Those who hold
this belief bestOw unlimitedIabuse up

The Washington correspondent of
the Democrat telegraphs as follows:
The Democratic attack upon their
Presidential candidates, has fully Oc-
lcupied public attention here to-day.
1T has become known that Wash Nc
Lean and his friends were among the
first to- telegraph upon the matter.
after the result of the elections be-
came sufficiently known. PendIetOn
himself, according to the Democrats
special, sent a dispatch to-day, urging
that Chase besubstituted for Seymour.
To offset such influences, quite a num-
Der of leading New York Seymour
men have telegraphed. here to-day,
saying that the IVogJd spoke without
the authority Ofthese there in favor of
a change:
The majority want Chase, but a
great deal of very bitter opposition has
been devOlved during the day. South
eTners in.the-ci6y are almost without
exception opposed to the move, and
say thew Wilhnever submit to it.
Hancock says he will never accept
the second place. on the ticket The
Blairs are bursting with indignation.
The President approves of a change,
but thinks that he ought to be the
fgUre-bead. The johnson men in
in the Cabinet favor a change. Mr..
Randall wants to put up Mr.. johnson
Mr.. Browning thinks that Ewing
should be in Blair's place. McCulloeh
wants a change. Tom Florence,
though a Chase man, says that it is too
late; and ROsecrans repeats it still
more -emphatically than ever. AS for
the Chief Justic, he regards the move
ment as induced by a panic, and as
one which cannot be consummated by
sny means now, as the command of
the party, and he therefore anticipates
no change. He has said nothing, so
