OF earthquake was experienced at these Islands.
With few exceptions the walls OF all the stone or
adobe buildings were injured. The cottage build
iTFs at PuDahoa are damaged extensively. Many
persons rushed into the streets from their beds.
Three distinct motions were felt-drst, shaking
horizontally, then perpendcularly, and the finish
was distinct wave motion from the southwest.
The violence OF the shock lasted twenty seconds,
the whole fully minute.
At Moloksi nearly all the stone walls were
leveed, aud the frame OF a building thrown
down. The road to the Leper Asylum was de-
stIoyed.
on Lanaia the shock was very severe. Clefts have
been opened on different parts OF the island, the
valley being full OF masses OF earth and rocks
shaken from the mountaln tops.

experienced since, but they were not severe.

WnereGs The members Of 1.-THE Central Associa-

pursnan o nubc noc tLs hro1 see
spectfully and earnestly protest against auy action
by the General Assembly OF the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, by which the inherent right of the
Ireemen Of Philadelphia to govern themselves is
taken away; therefore
Resolued, That the creation OF irresponsible and
self-consttuted commissions authorized by Legis-
lature, annually elected, to take the property aad
money OF the people without accountability to any
proper tribunal or the wholesome control of the
ballot box, is revolutionary proceeding dangerous
principles OF representative government.
RESOLVED, That 1t Is not deemed within the province
OF the Legislature to intict upon this or any other
community rulers who cannot be reached by the
corrections OF the ballot box for a long period of
years, and who, during the continuance OF their
1legtimate power, might govern in accordance with
their own selfish purposes, and not with reference
to the real interests OF the heavily burdened tax
payers.
RESOLVED, That the Senate and House Of Represen-
tatves as guardians Of the rights and interests Of
the people, are hereby soemnly invoked to protect
the citizens of Philadelphia against the WRONGS and
0utr8ges contemplated by the commissions for the

great principles Of sef-government still residing in
Resolued, That we hereby earnestly request the
Democratic members Of the Senate and House of
Representatives at Harrisburg to- resist with their
vote and all their influence the aggr essions pro-
posed by the iniquitous commissions which are
threatened to be inflicted upon this community
Resolved, That our thanks are due to the Demo-
cratic press Of this city and Commonwealth for the
bold and determined stand they have taken against
this Infamous measure, and we cordially invite a
continuance OF their noble efforts in behalf OF the
people against an organized band whose object Is
plunder and whose only game is thorough deple-
ton of the public treasury.

CAMDEN POLITICS.
Tho Election To-morrow-rhe First Municipal
Contest UHder the New City Charter.

Tho Election To-morrow-TheF First Municipal
Contest Under the New City Charter.
The Legislature of New Jersey now in ses-
sion recently passed an amended charter for
the city of Camden, extending the city limits
somewhat, and reconstructing the wards, which
are now eight in number, instead of three as
formerly. Additional officers were also pro-
vided for, and altogether Camden was laid out
for q frst-class metropolis, as far as its govern
ment is concerned. The new charter went into
effect on the 1st of March, and the first munich
pal election under it takes place tomorrow. In
view of the larger number of functonaries to
be elected, the canvass has been an earnest and
somewhat excited one. The general tickets of
the two parties are as follows:-
FOR MAYOR.
Republican. Democratic.
Samuel NJ Gaul, VIM. H. Jeferys.
FOR RECORDER.
Charles Cox, John Goldthorpe.
FOR RECEIVER OF TAXES.
John Smith, Jr., A. O. Jackson.
In addition to these functionaries who are
each to serve three years, City Surveyor and
City Solicitor are to be elected for a like term.
Additional Councilmen are to be elected in each
ward, as well as members of the Boards of Edu-
cation and Chosen Freeholders and ward asses
sors, clerks and constables.
The anti-ferry monopolists have also placed
full ticket in the field for Councilmen, headed
by Hon. James M. Scovel, ex-member of the
State Senate for Mayor.
The Republicans are quite certain of electing
their full city ticket, as well as of securing a
majority in the Council. The vote of the city
In 1868 and 1870 was as follows:-

ROBBERY.
A Successful Raid ON a Market street Clothing
store,

Successful Raid ON Market street Clothing
Last night robbers ''went through the cloth.
ing store of Mahlon Bryan 81 Co., at the s. E.
corner of Tenth and Market streets, in the most
complete sense In which that phrase is used.
They reached the second story of the building
by passing through q hallway opening into
Tenth street, and then broke into a gider's
room which is directly over the store of Messrs.
Bryan e. Co. At the rear of this room was
closet standing directly over one leading from
the clothing stere, and through the floor which
separated them the robbers soon cut large
aperture. This gave them an entrance into the
lower closet. But before they could enter the
store two obstacles, in the shape of two doors,
one of which was covered with sheet iron, were
to be overcome.
But after plying vigorously with jmmies,
these were forced open, and the goods in the
store stood at their mercy. For these they
made directly, passing heedlesslY by the safe
and counting-desk. They removed entire stacks
of coats, pants, vests, ETC., and with rare dis
elimination seized upon the best. The goods
were hoisted through the aperture in the floor,
and taken. no one as yet knows where. The
loss to Messrs. Bryan q Co. will reach about
$1,000.
At eight o'clock yesterday morning gust of
wind burst open the door of Hamrick q Co.'S
dry goods store, No. 45 North Eighth street, aud
started the alarm clock, which kept up a sharp
clatter for an hour, and brought a crowd of
people to the scene, who at once imagined that
robbers had been at work in the building. An
investigation alayed their fears, and the door
was closed.
