BUTLER'S DEFEAT.-Ihe leading

which is pronounced unconstitutional

he sought TO mi~lead the Republican

made: and he carried the House with

A SUBURBAN EARTHeuAkE.
Roliings and Rumblings in the Romantic
Districts.
SUNDAY NIGHT SHOCKS AND SHAKES
ON LONG ISLAND, STATEN ISLAND
AND NEW JERSEY.

From various accounts received in New
York, it appears that about 10 O'Clock on
Sunday night there was felt the shock of
an earthquake on Long Island, Staten
Island and in New Jersey.
In Williamsburg the windows in the
houses were ratified, the houses themselves
shaken, and the same rumbling noise as on
Staten Island heard. One gentleman, re-
siding in South Third street, informed our
reporter that he felt his house shake as if
floor had fallen through, and his family
rushed frightened from their beds to inquire
if it were an earthquake.
AT JAMAICA AND RIDGEwAY
persons describe the disturbance as having
a somewhat different effect from that else
where. People living at the places named
were first awakened by noise as if made
by team of horses and wagon going over
cobble stone pavement. Such a remark
able noise on country road of course
brought the good people quickly out of
their beds and to the windows, when the
quick vibration of the earth, shaking the
houses and rafting the windows, almost
frightened them out of their wits.
At Roslyn the noise preceding the shock
was like that of distant thunder, but seemed
to be directly under foot. The shock itself
was wave or undulating motion, which
caused the windows to rattle as in a furious
tempest.
THE EARTHQUAKE ON STATEN ISLAND.
The shock appears to have extended all
over Staten Island, being felt with equal
distinctness in Clinton and New Brighton.
AT Clinton the shock was very plain, jar
ring the houses and furniture and shaking
people in their chairs. The floors Of the
houses trembled violently. Persons who
were on the first floors of houses at the
time describe the noise and sensation as
similar to the effects produced by dragging
heavy object across the floor overhead.
The shock was equally distinct in the neigh
borhood of Vanderbilt landing. A
gentleman living two miles from the
landing reports that the floors in
his house trembled plainly, with vertical
motion, that the furniture was Jared in
the upper rooms, and that the noise was
like that made by dragging heavy trunk
across the floor. His daughter, about
fourteen years of age, was awakened in
bed by the shock, and subsequently expe-
rienced painful feeling of nausea, re-
quiring the aid of stimulants to relieve it.
In another house near Vanderbilt landing
similar motion was felt, and the windows
were violently ratified, but no rumbling
noise was heard. An inmate Of the house
was awakened by the shock. The vibra-
ton of the floors in this building was re-
markably violent, although the house was
very strongly built. The owner of the
house afterwards experimental by stamping
and jumping on the floor, and was unable
to jar it with equal force.

Simple justice to the late councilmen OF
the city prompts us to say that, however
much truth may exist in the charges of ve-
nality and corruption so frequently and con-
tinuously made against them, one fact to
their credit is undeniable. They did much
to improve and bcautify Richmond. They
opened new streets, improved the old, and
abolished many nuisances, much to the
health and comfort Of our citizens. That
they did not accomplish these acts in the
most economical manner may be, and
doubtless is, true.
be levied and collected-no matter for what
purpose, nor does the amount make much
difference either.
Now, whilst we willingly admit our pc
cuniary condition is not one that justities
a reckless and extravagant expenditure of
money and an increase Of taxation, we con-
ceive that niggardly course in regard to
the continuation of projected improvements
Of public utility and convenience. Gf not me-
cessary) would be still more censurable.
Most especially do our streets require atten-
ton. A comparatively small expenditure
of money, judiciously appropriated, accom-
plishes much good and the increase of tax
able values III the sections receiving its BEN
efits often commends it in even a financial
aspect. Look at Bank street, which was
but the other day in such condition as
would suggest to a prudent man the proprl-
iety of obtaining an accident policy before
he trayersed it! And yet at this time it
has been favored with granite blocks in an
economical method, and made one Of the
best and most pleasant tioroughfares in the
city. The same and even more may be
said of portion Of Broad street-which,
by the way, could be and should be made
as beautiful and attractive as any street
that reflects credit upon the most enterprise
ing and thrifty city upon the continent.
Why not (and here we get to the gist of
this article) repave Main street its entire
length, or at least the most important sec
tions of it? Certainly nothing could be
more repellant than its present aspect and
condition. 1t would not require a great
expenditure of treasure to make it at least
equal to Bank street, and the enhanced
value of all property along and contiguous
to it, would in our Judgment not only JUS
tify, but demand that it be done, and that
speedily.
We throw out these crude suggestions
at this time for discussion among ''the city
fathers" and for the serious consideration
of the taxpayers Of our lovely city of the
hills.
