Editor of the Gazette
during short visit to your delightful little

equal representation is hero the uost e(smorosa

Ell as the heading Of this letter would have AL
peared IN very few il any Radical journals Of tho
south, because 1t would have been utterly inoon
sistent with their practice in those States where
they have almost unlimited power When the
Commercial repeats the oft told tale, "that uov
ethilsnts have only those just powers which come
throush the consent of the governed" ..do NOT

This principle requires that ali the people should

The Commeyc,a! calls Mr.. VIM. s. Hayes, Of
the 9TH ward. "a virtuous Councilman" The
remark is not intended to be complimentary. Mr.
Hayes took the liberty to stop the Commercial
and hence the sarcasm. An extinct reads thus

Mr.. Hayes had certainly right to vote to keep
the city work in the service of Contract Ring,
and to stop the Commercial also; but does this
make him necessarily dishonest mani His
Democratic fellow members did not so declare, al

as corpus were issued to day by Judge
Hswley, OF the Territorial Suprem e
Court OF Salt Lake county, in b ehali Of

HOUSE.

an motion Of Mr.. Dawes il was
ordered that the House meet hereafter
at | o'clock.
Mr.. Sargent opposed the expla-
nation in regard TO the previous dis.
patches from San Francisco, rejecting
on himself and his colleagues i'll con-
nection with the Goat Island bill. He
characterizes them as utterly unfounded
and said he considered the authorities
and accounts could not be ex-
pected to be any more reliable than the
advices from Salt Lake City, or a dis
patch from Mississippi village on the
scourging Of negro by the Ku-Klu1
Klan or from Charles A. Dana on the
Navy Department.
Reports OF a private character were
received during the morning hour from
the Committee on Foreign Affairs and
were acted upon by the House.
The House then, at o'clock, went
into Committee of the Whole on
the tariff bill, and was addressed by
Mr.. Wood. He questioned the SINGER
ity of Congress in regard to the passage
of any bill to relieve taxation, and in.
tmated that there was secret influence
being operated on the Government to
keep up the present infamous taxation
for some purpose other than that Of
he public good.
an alluslon by Mr.. Wools to moneys
received by the War Department from
the sales of property and not accounted
or, brought Mr.. Dawes to his feet, who
made general denial that not dollar
had been received from the sales OF
property and not accounted for.
Mr.. Garfield stated that he would
take special occasion to reply to Mr..
Beck's speech.
Mr.. Beck gave Mr. Garfield notice
that he would insist on the Secretary Of
the Treasury showing what sums had
been paid and how they had been
drawn out.
Mr.. Kelley, Of Pennsylvania. sug-
gested that the majority OF the Com
mite of Ways and Means owed it to
the House to give some explanation Of
this tariff bill so that the House mi ght
know what it was discussing and with
what the members had to contend.
Mr.. BecK-When the gentleman
from Pennsylvania answered the speech
made by Mr.. Finckelnberg yesterday,
he would hear Mr.. Kelley, but until
he does, he has no right to open his
mouth in complaint.
Mr.. Kelly-When they Of the ma
jority shall have spoken they shall hear
from me and | will leave the front to
cover the rear.
Mr.. Btck referred to charges against
the War Department and Mr.. Dawes
sent to the clerk desk and had read an
account from General Meigs, Quarter
master General, stating that all moneys
received by the War Department for
the sale OF property had been paid into
the treasury but that to produce the
vouchers called for would take some

LONDON, April 27.-Dispatches re-
ceived from Naples this morning con.
tain further particulars Of the terrible
disaster at Mount Vesuvius. Symp-
toms of volcanic action were observed
only a few days ago, and shortly after
wards the volcano began to eject lava
and scoriae in abundance. The eruption
increased in violence, and the towns
lying at the base of the mountain were
threatened with destruction.
The eruption has proved to be an ire
sistible attraction to large numbers OF
tourists and others, many Of whom ap.
preached the mountain when the first
signs Of activity were observed, and re-
manned in dangerous proximity to its
base, evidently not apprehending any
danger OF an increase OF violence Of the
eruption. Upwards Of one hundred
persons are reported to have been burn
ed to death by the streams OF boiling
lava, which burst from the mountain
and overwhelmed them before they
could save themselves by flight.
1t is not improbable that the extent
Of the calamity may prove to be much
greater, az the names and exact num-
Der of those who perished cannot be
ascertained.
From the city and Bay OF Naples
the spectacle of the volcano in action
il described as of grand and terribly
impressive character. Thousands Of
vessels are in the bay, and approach as
near as safety will permit. After nj ght-
fall large sheets OF lava flames shoot
up through the darkness, and during
the day large boulders of rock are
thrown to a great heighth.
The present eruption is the most
violent that has occurred for number
of years, and should it still further in
crease in violence. the consequences
will he disastrous beyond conception.
Towas at the base OF the mountain,
including Terre Del Groco, which lies
to the southwest, and Terre Del An
nunciats, lying directly to the south,
have been PARTLY destroyed, many of
the buildings being overturned by the
rocks and stones elected from the vol
cano, while lava, scoria and general
debris fill the streets.
The inhabitants have fled panic
stricken, glad TO save their lives and
what portable property was available

workers have been very busy all day.
A meeting Of the members of the
Missouri delegation, with Schurz, was
held at the St. James Hotel. 1t is re-
ported they have formed fusion with
the Eastern delegates, agreeing to sup
mort Adams for the first place, giving
Brown the second. 1t is reported to-
NIGHT that a letter from Trumbull is in

declining the nomination.
The Palmer men say il Trumbuil

Theodore Tilton is here and is at

Another report is that it has already
been decided TO nominate either Davis
and Curtin or Adams and Brown.
Many Of the leading Democrats declare
openly that they will not support Adams
under any circumstances. Another
rumor is that the Adams movement Is

DR.. Howard.
1t is generally conceded that the
action OF the House yesterday in the
case of DR.. Howard practically refers
the whole matter back to the hands Of
the State Department, at which the
friends of DR.. Howard feel much dis
appointed. 1t is well known that the
Presidents sympathies are with DR..
Howard, as they have been all along
with Cuban patriots, but for reasons
unknown to outsiders the President is
deferred from taking any decided action
in the matter. General Banks is COM
plimented from all sides for the brave
and manly effort which he made III
behalf of DR.. Howard His denuncia-
ton of the Cuban policy Of our govern
ment meets with almost universal ap-
proval.
The Press on the Cincinnati COnVen.
ton.
The Democratic press Of the South
continues to fight shy OF the Clnc'nnah
Convention, aud To warn the Lloera'
Republicans against putting any iaith
in the declarations OF certain would be
leaders of the Democracy, who make
haste to pledge the support OF the Dem
ocratc party to the nominees OF the
Cincinnati Convention. The Savannah,
Georgia Nacs of Thursday, speaking
on the subject SAYS: "They have no
authority to pledge its acceptance OF
any candidate the Liberal Republicans
may nominate or any other man.
The policy 10 he pursued oy
the Democratic party in the approach
ing Presidential election seems to
depend very much upon circumstances,
but it is a subject upon which the
Democracy, as national organization,
will have something to say, and until
they have, in convention, determined
what that policy shall be, no dinner
table causes in Washington or any
where else has any authority to pledge
the party to support the nominees OF
the Cincinnati Convention.
