Terrible Volcanic Eruption j And Earthquakes,
 t IN THE. s AN D WIOH ISL ID s.

A terrible eruption of the Mauna Loa, a volcano in Hawaii, the most important of the Sandwich Islands, occurred early in April. It was preceded and accompanied by earthquake shocks, which were felt as far as California. The greatest shock was on the 2d of April, which prostrated churches and houses, and brought in ti- dal wave from the sea, sixty feet ill height, sweeping over the tops of the cocoa trees, a quarter of mile inland, and carrying off houses, people, and every thing moyeable. The summit and side of hill, 1,500 feet in height, were thrown thousand feet over the tops of trees and landed in the valleys below. Over fifteen hundred shocks were feltin ten days. During that of the .2d, in the Kan district no living creature could stand. Bodies were cast about on the ground like India rubber balls. Not one stone stands upon another, and immense precipices were levelled with the earth.
 The craters of the volcano vomited ash. SSs PoA44ASC otOAOo, it10 Aufd, u 1AfCA OA oiiS latter running five or six miles to the sea A new crater has been opened, throwing rocks and streams of fire thousand fec

JOINT VOTE OF HARTFORD AND NEW HAVEN.

The foregoing tables indicate whence the increased Democratic vote of Connecticut comes. It is evidently the influx of forei gn born population that has within nine years added 28OO to the Democratic maiorities of our capitals, and has changed the pol litical complexion of the State. During the war ar naturalization was almost suspended; but, no sooner was the fear of draft gone by, than than the Democratic was increased in New Haven from 3720 irf Nov. 1864, to 5777 in April lS68. In the two cities, during the pist nine years, the Democratic vote has been increased over 45OO, while the Repub- hcan vote only increases 1900. Tn fact the changes wrought by immigration in those cities alone. would almost account for the political changes that have occurred in the whole state, without reference to other large places where the same cause has increased the majorities of the Democracy. B..
 It IS difficult to believe that the increase in the total vote in New Haven from 7551 in 1s66,to 9301, in 1s6s,is not due to fraud. In 1866 every effort was made to call out the full vote of both parties, and the nat uralizations suspended during the war had probably been for the most part completed Yet Tn two years we have an increase of l,7oO in the total vote implying gain of about 10000 in population. We hope this matter will be fully investigated by spec ial committee of the Legislature, and the sooner they, are set at work the better.
