TERRIELE EARTnoUAKE.-The Phillip
pine Islands arc not without an earthquake
record. Perhaps in the matter OF snail
shakes they don't stand quite as high as Bos
ton or some of the other interesting towns OF
Massachusetts, but they have already had tw"
Or three substantial shakes, which have been
reminders to them Of what was in store One
of the latest of these was in 1852 Blu,
none of these earthquakes were so disastrous
as this last. The London Standa,d Of tho
25th, publishes the details of series of ter
rible earthquake shocks which recently occurr
ed in one Of the Philippine IslanGs. More
than two hundred persons were swallowed up
by the earth, and every one of them almost
instantly killed. Sixty bodies of the dead
had been recovered. The rcst of the inhub
i,ants fed the Island, which has been com
pctcly dcpopulatcd.

MORE or THE SUGAR FRAUDS MYSTERY
Murder, Burglary and Intimidation


We learn that the Office of Belden g.
Denny, attorneys at law, st. Charles street.
was entered on Thursday night, desk
broken open, and valuable papers belonging
to the estate of Robert L. Bradley, deceased,
distracted and carried away. Most Of these
papers related to Mr.. Bradley's agency in
ferreting out the sugar frauds. These
gigantic frauds, that so startled the COM
munity and occupied the attention of the
Circuit Court year or two ago, are still
fresh in the memory of our readers. Such
was their extent that the reward to the in
formers and the Customhouse officials
amounted, under the law, to $4,000 in
gold. Bradley put in claim for his share
as informer, which, we learn, was opposed
by parties in this city. His untimely death
prevented the prosecution Of his claim for a
while, but his brother, Peter Bradley, has
taken the initial steps for reviving it, and
had intrusted the more important papers
to his lawyers, Belden & Denny.
Their mysterious loss looks to US like a
sequence to the fatality of those who were
prominently concerned in the cases. Cap
tain A. BsLong, the District Attorney, is
supposed to have committed suicide. Cap
tain W. f. Perkins, his most intimate
friend, who could never be brought to ad-
NIT that the Captain took his own life,
finally committed self-murder himself; Cap
tain Robert L. Bradley, the chief informer,
and the claimant of half the reward, was
provoked into a war of words with two
strangers and stabbed to death. His
brother, who believes himself entitled to
this great reward as the heir of his brother,
has made an attempt TO recover it, and now
the papers on which he relied are lost.
We have no comments to make upon the
want of caution displayed by his attorneys.
Documents that are difficult to replace
should be kept in a safe place. But their
carelessness does not relieve the case of
that shadow of fatality that appears to fol-
low up everything connected with the sugar
cases. The gravest suspicious are enter
tanned, which, if verified, would create an
immense sensation.
We suppose detectives have been set to
work to discover the papers, if possible,
and those who stole them. In case they
are found, and the affair proves to be one of
petty larceny merely, the recently aroused
suspicion may be lulled to quiet; but other
wise it threatens to grow into overpower-
ing force. The felonious taking of these
papers, the murder of Bradley and the mys-
terious deaths of Captain Long and Captain
Perkins are believed by many people to
point to evidence that there are yet some
men at large who feel an interest in hush
ing up every report about the sugar cases.
Who will be the next victim of the con-
spiracy is question that tiae alone can
determine.

WASHINGTON, September 1.-The Cabinet
meeting to-day was attended by all the
ministers excepting the Postmaster General
and Secretary of the Treasury, both of whom
were absent. The President early called the
attention of the members present to the
letter of Senator Scott of Pennsylvania,
alleging the causes for declaration OF
martial law in South Carolina, which was
handed to the President yesterday. With
out any discussion of the consequences, this
letter was referred to the Attorney General,
who is to take action concerning the applica-
ton of the Ku-Klux law, upon the state
ments contained therein, and as soon as this
official has made a report the proclamation
will be issued. The Cabinet also considered
the Corean difficulties, but it is understood
the question will be left for the action of
Congress. A large amount of routine busi-
ness was accomplished.
Clews. Habitch 81 Co., of London, the
foreign house of Henry Clews & Co., of
New York, have been designated as fiscal
agents of the United States government at
London, trust until now vested in the
house of Barring Brothers & Co.
Thirty years ago, after the negotiation of
the Ashburton treaty, the agency was taken
from the Bank of England, which had held
the office ever since the establishment of
Barring Brothers 81 Co., in compliment to
Lord Ashburton, who was a member of that
firm, and who negotiated the treaty which
bears his name
For over quarter of a century, Messrs.
Barring Brothers have done the government
business, and the accounts is now transferred
to Clewes 81 Co., as a recognition of their
valuable services in promoting the negc-
tiation of the several loans during and since
the war.
All the money received in the diplomatic
service. and all the collections of the United
States consuls of Europe, South America
and part of Asia and Africa, are RENTED to
this agency in London, which is the official
representative of the government in all
financial matters relating to foreign coun-
tries.
The President has gone off again.
The following appointments were made:
David Maitland Armstrong, Consul General
at Rome, and James l.. Graham, Jr., Consul
at Florence.
The department statement shows reduc-
ton of debt of over $9,500,000.
Coin in the treasury, S93,25O,0 600; cur
rency, nearly S8,00000O.
A dispatch received at the Postofice De-
partment, from the postmaster at Sayan-
nah, Georgia, says the mails, and also all
cars and passengers from Charleston, are
refused admittance into Savannah in conse
quence of the fear of an epidemic from yel
low fever. 1t was also stated that the
mails from Chasleston will be sent by way
of Augusta.
