THE silver coinage of Europe, it is
stated, will in II short time be entirely
changed. For instance, in France, the
coins bearing the impress of the Bour-
bons ami of Louis Philippe, of Napoleon
i, and of the Republic, are no longer
legal tender in France since the 1st of
October, but will continue to be received
in payment of public offices for some
time longer. The coins of the early
period of the second Empire will also be
withdrawn, and only those which bear
the Imperial crown will be retained in
circulation. This coinage is being pro-
duced I'm large quantities at the Imperial
mint. The measure will extend TO the
other countries which have assimilated
their monetary system with that of
France. Thus in Belgium the coins
withdrawn are those produced in the
reign OF Leopold L, and bearing the late
Kings protrait. In Switzerland and in
Italy the pieces coined prior to a certain
date rs s., iJ is Said) will also be gradu-
ally taken out OF circulation.

The CALIFORNIA; Earthquake--The Panic
-ot' I'm sam Franefsce. "a
Mr.. Coffin, of the Boston Journal, was
in San Francisco just after the occur
renee of the late violent earthquake. He
writes:
In the excitement of the hour many
people came to the conclusion that San
Francisco was ruined for the future
Who would live in such a city when at
any moment houses and stores might be
preeipitated to general ruin? Women
We're vehement in their determination
to get out, of such a dangerous place.
The steamboats, leaving the city in the
afternoon were crowded. Thousands of
people who lived in brick houses sought
refuge in wooden structures. The hotels
were deserted, People who had engaged
rooms for the winter at the Occidental,
Cosmopolitan and Lick House stayed
not upon the order of going, but went at
once, up to friends houses on the hills,
where the shock was not so severe as in
the lower part of the town. Women
sat all day with their bonnets on, ready
to rush into the; street at the slightest
tremor. Passing through the town in
the evening saw many families sitting
on the door steps or in the halls ready to
run at any instant. Persons who had
wooden tenements to let had plenty of
applicants. One gentleman who had a
small tenant had eighteen applicants
before noon Another says he did not
keep count, but thinks that at least fifty
persons were ready to take his snug ten
ement and pay rent in advance, 1t is
probable that real estate on the made
land for the present will not be quite so
quick of sale as it has been, and il is also
evident that lots on the, firm land, es-
pecially on the hills, will be in demand.

WHATEVER else may be the result of
the Spanish revolution, it bids fair to
make itself historically famous for the
abolition Of human slavery in the last Of
the civilized countries which have up
held that institution. All the members
of the Revolutionary Junta have signed

is an outrage upon human nature, and q
blot upon the nation which maintains
it; that 1t is so repugnant thing that it
ought to be abolished, not gradually, but
Immediately; but that in view of the
difficulties in the way of its immediate

visional Government as q preliminary

The injustice of the cry of "earpet-
bagger" against all the loyal officehold-
ers and politicians of the South, in the
rebel papers, is Illustrated so far as
Georgia is concerned, by correspondent
of the New York Tribune, who says:
Our Governor. all our officers, the two
United States Senators, and six out of
seven Congressman, were residents of
Georgia before the war. as were the
president of the Senate and Speaker of
the House of Representatives. Out of
the two hundred and twenty members
of the Legislature but seven are North
ern men who have come here since the
war. OF these seven, three own and
work large plantations, upon which they
reside. Another is q merchant of extern
sive business, who has lost thousands Of
dollars by crediting the class who now
how so loudly against the " intrusion of
foreigners upon their sacred soiln-
Another has, by his untiriDg energy and
perseverance,, established newspaper,
the Loyal Georgian, which commands
admiration not only for its able and
IN lnly advocacy of freedom, but also for
its business success. OF the remaining
two one is a one-armed soldier of the
Union, who fought under q. S. Grant;
the other a gentleman well known and
esteemed as teacher in Western New
York. These are the men against whom
this absurd cry is raised, on account of
the accident of birth. Though extern
sively acquainted with the .officeholders
of the State, l know of but two men ofthe
persuasion filing county off,
res. One of these is 3 lawyer. the other
a planter-both men of ability and char
acter. The Convention which framed
our new Constitution boasted but twelve
members of this class; and the Conststu-
ton thus framed excludes every man
not having resided three years in the
State from the judicial bench, and, by
Irwin's Code. required resi-
dence of five years for the position of
States Attorney or Solicitors.

The ku-klux Klan in Ohio--Attempt to
Assassinate Smiley NJ. Johnson-Incei,-
diarisn.


At about u o'clock on Saturday night,
Mr.. Smiley III. johnson, an influential
citizen of Jefferson County, Ohio, lost
about 1000 worth of property by fire,
the work of band of Ku-Klux despera-
does. Mr. johnson was aroused from
his he'd by the crash of an outside door
bursted in with a rail. Half awakened,
he seized loaded revolver at his bed

of dark lantern flashed in his face,
binding him for moment, and reveal
ed to the villains the leveled revolver
The leader of the gang, in advance of his
companions, uttered q sharp cry, shut
off the light from the lantern, and the
entire party fled from the house. Mr..
johnson, fearing that they might be
back, laid the revolver on the table, and
taking up his rifle which was i'm the
room, stood guard over the door. After
o few moments of breathless SUSPENSE
he went out of the house. Everything
outside was as bright as day, and on
looking around he saw his fine Large
barn, near the. house, in fiamess Feeling
it useless to attempt to save the barn,
and fearing that the house might be in
danger, he aroused the neighborhood by
blowing large tin horn; but the wind
was in the opposite direction, and the
house was saved. The barn contained
100 tuns of hay, 800 bushels of corn, so
bushels of wheat, and all the farming
implements, moving machines, wagons
rtc. The buildings surrounding the barn
and three large sheep sheds were also
consumed. Mr. johnson was firmly
convinced that it was the intention OF
the villains to oimurder himself and fami-
~, and thensfire the house, thereby re-
moving all their evidence of crime
Matches were found scattered on the
