Roane County.

On Saturday, August 10Th, an immense
crowd of people gathered, at Spencer,
Roane county, to hear the political issues
discussed An interesting joint discussion
was bad. the participants being Messrs
Hereford and Walker, opposing candidates
for Congress, and Mpssrs Schon and Frecr,
Greeley and Grant Electors, respectively.
As might he expected, in Roane county,
our young Republican friends failed to re.
ceive much encouragement.
We are happy to be able to repeat what
we sad some weeks ago, that there is posi-
lively no disaifection in Rnane, in favor Of
Jacob The Democrats as heretofore, are
united for the ticket, AID will give Cam.
den and the Constitution by the regular
Democratic majority. Courier

setting forth certain objections to the Con-
stiiu,iou were circulated in connection with
the Jacchin specializing on "Wednesday
evening Aud it is a singular fact that by
no Jacobin paper or speaker has the Cousti.
tuition been advocated. These striking
symptoms of the Limited partnership ar
rangcment would seem to indicate very
clearly the attitude Of Governor Jacobs
friends, ifnot his own.

The present Constitution only received 49,

against it. At the time the voting popu.
latiou Of the State was G2.0O0. So that
32,62l voters were kept from the polls by

third of the people forced an outrageous
Constitution upon the other two thirds.
The people Of Monroe, Summers, Mercer,
Raleigh, Grcebrier, Pocahontas and other
counties on the border we're not allowed to
vote at all, and no poll was ever opened
ia these counties.

RUM, RUIN AND DEATH.
From the 8. F. Chronicle, March ISL

From the ). +. Chronicle, March 2S.J
Yesterday morning the body Of a
man was found floating In tho bay
hear Goat Island, and was picked up
and brought to this city. The body
was identified rs that Of James Doug
lass, a lumber surveyor, we'll known
in San Francisco, where he had resided
for many years. About three years
ago he was In good circumstances and
owned valuable property in this city.
But q fatal fondness for rum proved
ruinous to his fortunes, and latterly he
has been compelled to rely on the
sweat Of his brow for subsistence.
Last Saturday evening he was at the
house Of a friend on Treat avenue, at
the Mission, and then stated that he
intended to drown himself. He left
there that night, leaving a note stating
that his friends would see him no
more. On reaching this city he met n
friend, who provided him with some
money. and he postponed the suicidal
intent for the purpose OF enjoying one
more spree. On Monday he again ap-
peared at his friends house at the
Mission. and slept there that night.
On Tuesday morning he left the house,
telling his friends he was going over
to Oakland to 60 to work. That was
the last they saw or heard OF him till
he was brought to the Morgue. It is
supposed he crossed the bay and de-
liberately drowned himself. Deceased
was a native Of Scotland, aged about
flfty-eight years, we'll educated, and a
nan of fine appearance.

lFr0m the news OF march Zo.J
This morning, at Is minutes to 3
o'clock, the sleeping population Of the
city were awakened by a rumbling
sound like distant thunder; the shaking
and trembling Of buildings, and the
crash Of falling dishes, mirrors and
glassware. A second shock occurred
about two minutes after the first. At
the time the shaking was going on the
dogs set up o mournful howl, which
was kept up until the earth ceased
growing. People rushed out into the
streets In their night shifts Of clothing,
terror-stricksn. Old earthquake sharps
Of San Francisco experience remained
cool, as q general thing. The most
amusing occurrence we have heard Of
happened In a saloon. A party Of four
had been engaged In playing poker.
There was something like $40 put up
In the spot" At the commencement
Of the shock the players throw up their
hands, and all, including the barkeep-
or, passed out into the street. After
the shaking was over they returned,
and found the money gone and the
table upset. A we'll known citizen
was 80 excited that he took off his
nightgown. put his boots on, seized
his carpet bag and rushed down stairs
Into the street. A lady was seen on
tho sidewalk with a masquerade cos
tune, intended for the masquerade
ball, and a toilet set In her hands, run
ming back and forward across the street
In an excited manner. Manning, of
the jewelry store, on entering his store
this morning, found that the pendulum
OF his regulator had stopped at Is min
utes to 8 o'clock. At Captain Mallett's
residence crockery and glassware were
thrown from the shelves, and the clock
was found to have stopped.
