II appears now that the Radical
orator, SWAN, made two speeches in
the Parkersburg Convention. instead of
one, as at first reported. One was
reported in the htellgencer correctly,
and the other is now reported and re-
vised by himself in the last Parkersburg
Journal. The two copies are different
in almost every particular, and the last
contains even more slanderous misrep
reservations than the other against the
Democratic party. Here is one OF h's
whoppers: ufG 1TCCa
There never was any necessity for
the XVIII Amendment, but to satisfy
the objections of part of the people;
the Republican party submitted the
question to 36'0O00OO of white men
and took their sense upon the objec-
ton. The assize of the people has
rendered its verdict and the judgment
is now recorded in the department of
State. And no man who loves the con-
stitution Of his country will defy it"
Nobody but renegade to his friends
and kindred could utter such an I'M
truth as this; for every man of inteili-
gence knows that the Fifteenth Amend
ment was never submitted to the vote
of the people in single State Ii was
crammed down the Threats Of every
Southern State, and pushed through the
Legislatures of West Virginia andother
Northern and Western States against
the will or wishes of the people! 1t
will of course have to stand, but it is
nevertheless base fraud and imposi
ton upon the people Here is another
of SWANS deliberate untruths:
IF may speak of little things, the
platform Of principles lately adopted by
the Democratic party at Charleston tell
those lately in rebellion, that there is NJ
hope for there restoration to the ballot
until the fifteenth Amendment is re
pealed."
How any man Of sense, claiming re
spectability, can stand up before an.
people and utter such deliberate false
hood as this, surprises our comprehen
sion. But the Radical party lives upoI
falseho0d and Islander, and we supros,
they have employed SWAN to manufac
ture these for them in this campaign

The Cycle OF Earthquakes.

Severe earthquakes, almost if not
quite simultaneous ntheir action, oc-
CURED last month on several parts Of
this continent and the opposite sides or
the world, in Japan Az Oaxaca, IN
Mexico. the first CONFUSION occurred
at halfpast eleven of the night Of May
18th, and at Japan at twenty minutes
before three on the morning Of May
18th. Allowing for differences Of long
itude and time, these earthquake shocks
were at most but few hours apart, and
in all probability identical in point Of
time. AtOaxaca, which is substantially
built town, two hundred years old,
heavy convent and palace walls and
towers were shaken into ruins, killing
and manning many unfortunate peo-
pie.
Two hundred miles out from Yoke
hama, to the southwest, the captain OF
the Benefactress observed submarine
volcano, in violent eruption, and the
volcano, on the island OF Nippon, in
japan, was in the same state. Ii was
felt in Perryville, Alabama. Charleston,
South Carolina, Shreveport, Louisiana.
There were shocks in Arkansas on the
! tn Of Nav, and in the French West
India island Of Guadalupe on the 10th.
But the simultaneous character Of the
violent commissions on the llth, 18th
and 18th of. May in Mexico and Japan
on opposite sides of the globe, witt
nearly the whole OF the earth > eight
thousand miles OF diameter between
them, leads to the belief that the samt

THIS is what the Parkersburg Journal
says of the Radical platform and the
FLICK amendment:
in word, the meaning of the reSo-
luton adopted by the Convention in re-
gard to REIMBURSEMENT was this: the
Republican party intend, in good faith,
to submit the whole question to the peo-
Pile for Them to accept or reject, without
saying whether the Flick amendment is
right or not. TIE partH as a parh6
does not endorse he Flick amendment as
SUCH sr-
This is tie truth of the case, AMI yet
some OF the Republican journals assert
directly the reverse. There is no prin-
pie and very little truth in that party.
They have made their platform 10 catch
birds of every feather.

The following letter gives details OF
the recent election in Oregon, and shows
that the Democratic victory was com
plete and entire:
BAKER CRY, OREGON, June II.
After the most holly contested polit-
zeal campaign that has ever occurred in
Oregon, the Democracy have achieved
signal and complete triumph. We
have redeemed every branch OF the
State Government from radical misrnle.
We have elected a Representative to
Congress, Governor and the other
elective State officers, two of our three
candidates for the office of Associate
Justices OF the Supreme Court, and a
wOrkingmajO rity in both branches ofthe
Legislature, by which last-named body
a Democratic United States Senator
will be elected to succeed Judge Will
Hams. | annex list of the officers
elected They are all Democrats, with
the exception Of X. Z. Boise, who is a
mild Republican and man of very
profound legal knowledge, which in q
great measure contributed to his success :
Congressman, James ii. Slater; Gov
ernOr, l.. F. Grover; Justices Supreme
Court, A. j. Thayer, X. p Boise and
l.. L. Macarthur; Secretary of State, $,
F. Chadwick; State Treasurer. L..
Fleischner; State Printer, r. Patterson, y
There is some valuable lessons in
this information from Oregon to the
Democracy of West Virginia. The
Republican party Of Oregon fought
desperately to cauy that State. Scna-
tor WILLIAMS and his friends in Wash
ington sent thousands of dollars there
to conduct the campaign, and the power
of all the office-holders there was or
rayed against the Democracy. We con-
slider the result in Oregon, therefore, the
most brilliant victory ofthey year, and the
most encouraging to our friends in
every State in the Union. Radical
money will no doubt be employed to
carry this State. General GOFF was
confessedly nominated in this district
for the use of his money, and public
funds will no doubt flow in from Wash
ington to help them fight the battle. The
Office holders, as in Oregon, will also
throw in the weight of their influence
10 turn the scale in favor of their party.
But our brilliant victories in New York
and Oregon teach us that the tide of
popular sentiment is running irresisti-
bly, in our favor, and that if we are as
energetic in this State as the Democ-
racy were in those mentioned, we can
achieve a victory that will resound
through the nation and lift our people
once more into the sunlight of constitu-
tional liberty.

ing that it is made up Of three different
factions. First, the bitter enders; !"
second, the "let-ups," and third the

us, and shows that the Radical party is
made up of tumble of very rotten

ana possesses merits so far superior that
comparison is useless.
We claim for 1t the following advantages
over any other Crate: fEeWsS,gg
First. As Il radiator OF heat, il has double
the intensity. -
Second. II is uHQuestionably the most
cleanly-no SCOT or ashes escaping into the
room-which, in the ordinary Crate, proves
50 detrimental TO carpets and furniture.
Third. The combustion is perfect. There
is no waste in unburt cindefs ounce
of the fuel is so completely consumed thai
nothing remains but the finest ashes =
Fourth. As an economizer of fuel-therc
being an actual saving OF at least y per cent.
Fifth. II is highly ornamental.
Sixth. II Is set so deep in the chimney
that ii is much safer, and also less liable 20
puff in windy weather. tHi'
Seventh. A slight motion of the shaker
cleanses the entire fire, and causes il to
