San S salvador, reported to be de

just beginning to recover FROM
similar visitation which occurred
nineteen years ago. Then it was a
llourishing city Of perhaps 10000 in
habitantS, 1t was almost totally
oyerihrown, and one hundred lives
were lost. Previous to the last ca
lamity, it had probably $4,000 inhab

it's predecessor. The fate of the
surviving inhabitants is hardly less

have persisted. Other Affections
may become trivial by long cXpc,

are check to all enterprise. Ii

HERE is the way they do things in Gin
cinuati. a hospital wagon started off for
the public burying ground with two cotiins,
each containing the remains of n dead per-
son. The Cincinnati Commercial may tell
the balance
1t seems the driver had occasion, for
some reason not yet explained, to stop the
wagon and leave the horses standing in the
road. during his absence the animals be-
came frightened aud started down Ohio
avenue at full speed. Arriving at a certain
point in the road, they turned to the right
and started in the direction Of the bluil at
the head Of Elm street, when the horses
went over, dragging the wagon after them.
The vehicle was dashed to pieces in an in
slant, the collins thrown out and broken
to atoms, after which their ghastly con-
tents, half robed in the habiiments of the
grave, went rolling and bounding from
point, until they at last reached the bottom
Of the hill, in the rear of Kleienr's brewery,

The CENrENNIAL. The proposition by
members Of the Legislature to vote the Cen
tennial Finance Committee 100000, in
installments, will meet with more favor than
he original demand for million dollars
at once. The money is to be expended in
the erection of central building in Fair.
mount Park, which will remain as a per
maucnt National Art Gallery, and Indus
trial Institute. The money will not be Civ
ca away. There will be an equivalent for
it. 1t will be store house for the pro-
ducts Of American genius. The project
depends upon the liberality Of the people of
the state to make the Centennial celebration
II grand success. We see that the city of
Philadelphia has already contributed $780,
OJo, and lis Citizans S1O0,0 600 more, with
subscriptions still pouring in. The rail-
road companies Of this State have pledged
through Hon. J. Edgar Thompson. a sub
3criptioD Of 500, OO0, and with the $780,

the best in the country. The buildings
along the Avenue, from the Treasury
buildings to the Capitol, were elaborately
decorated with flags and alag arches, erect

California Salmon i'm the Susquc-

AT meeting of number of prominent
gentlemen from the different States, inter-
ested in the culture of salmon, shad, trout
and other fish, held in the city of New
York, last fall, Col. James Worrall, our
active and energetic Fish Commissioner,
succeeded in securing the quota of young
California salmon. intended for Pennsvl-
yana for the Susquehauna from the u. 5.
Commissioners at Washington The ova,

started from DIR. Slack's establishment,
yesterday morning, in charge of Mr.. J. p.
Creveling. They were placed in three
large Tin cans, and kept supplied with fresh
water, en- route to Harrisburg, and arrived
here at p. NJ, via the Allentown route.
About five hundred perished in the transit.
The remainder, over six thousand, were
placed in wagon belonging to Jacob X.
Eby, and taken up town and put III the
river at the south corner of the wharf, at
the water house, by Mr.. Creveing, in the
presence of Col. Worrall, ID. W. Seller,
Esq, and a number of ladies and a crowd
of lockers on. The little strangers jumped

short time hid themselves--every fish as
lively as cricket under the limpid sur
face of the Susquehanua. their new ele-

ALL QUIET COMPROMISE PROPOSED.
New ORLEANS, March 0.-All quiet, is
the report tonight. The street struggle of
Wednesday is almost forgotten, but it is
not probable that such scene will again
be enacted, at least for considerable time.
Kellogg's partisans are masters of the stu-
tion, and are likely to remain so ~
The feeling upon the people has chang
ed considerah bly, since the fight, and many
who this day week supported the NJ Emery
or Fusionist cause are now opposed to it.
Efforts are making to effect compromise.
but the prospects of success are not bright
The plan whi ich meets with favor among
the Eusionists is that kellogg he allowed
to keep the Gubernatorial chair, and that
the Legislature be reorganzed, The tax
remittinS scheme proposed by the Fusion
lists Will come to nothing.
Collector Casey, of New Orleans, whose
commission expires in about ten days, is
here looking after his reappointment to the
position, lie has been assured that his
commission will be reissued, but he does
not want his name sent TO the Senate dur
ing the present executive session. With
regard to Louisiana affairs, Casey says
that the President Is extremely anxious for
compromise between the warning fac
tions.
The kellogg government also desire to
compromise, but assert that the Democrats
claim too much. The latter have offered
to give the Republicans Kellogg as Cover
nor if they will give the Democrats the
Lieutenant Governor and then make al
even division Of the rest of the offices. This
plan the Republicans reject on the ground
that the Democrats would theu proceed to
immediately elect kellogg to the Senate,
when the Democrats will secure the Cover
uorship.
The Republican have not confidence
enough in Kellogg to believe that if this
temptation were placed before him he
would resist. Casey says that the COM
mercial classes are beginning to assert their
influence, and that it will be cXerted in
behalf of the party having the dc iacto
possession Of power. ....

ELECTION FRAUDS IN LUzERNE CoUN-
TY.-Atter the October election we stated
that monstrous election frauds had been
committed in Luzerne county on behalf Of
the Democrats that on a registry Of 800
votes. Democratic majority of.FIFTEEN
hundred had been returned, The evidence
before the court proves beyond a doubt
that out of 1851 votes polled only 407 were
actually registered.
After the discovery of these monstrous
frauds the matter was brought before tho
court by the gentlemen who were appar-
emily defeated for the offices of Recorder,
Register Commissioner and Auditor.
After patient investigation before the
court, which consists, politically. of one
Liberal and two Democratic judges, the
four cases investigated were decided on
Tuesday of last week. According to the
decision of the court in these cases, Mr.
Kaiser, Republican, is declared elected Re-
corder of Deeds Mr. French, Republican,
Register Of Wills; Mr.. Gershbacker, DEM
ocrat, County Commissioner and MI

TIE LATE CoNonrss.-rhc work of th,

TIE LATE CONC Rlcss. The work of the
late Congress was completed on Tuesday
of last week at II o'clock, and its record is
now before the country for The approval or
disopproval, by their constituents of the
actions of its members. a great deal of
time has been useless!y expended in special
legislation--in ministering to the growth of
corporate monopolies. But with all this
legislation, valuless TO the general interests
of the country, the public must be satisfied
that the Republican majority arc not afraid
of investigation, and desire to bring to
light The transactions Of public men. There
has been no effort 20 condone wrong-doing,
or to cover up things needing exposure.
This fact is much to the credit Of the party
majority in the late Congress. The great
est advantage likely to result from pro-
tractel and repeated Investigations is the
conviction it will produce among those who
are in public service that they must labor
with clean hands, aud neither nccept or give
hribes. Thep must be satisfied with the ho-
nors and rewards that legitimately fall to
their lot, and not make merchandise of
their labors for personal gain.
The greatest mistake committed during
the late session is that Of passing bill Civ
ing to each member five thousand dollars
additional compensation. Party lines were
oblteratcd in this proceeding. The mem
bers whose labors closed with this session
had no fear of II popular verdict before
their eyes. They. with some exceptions,
rallied to the support of this act. There
were those who believed that the conpen-
sation of members should be equalized by
the repeal Of the iniquitous mileage ar
rangcment. and who were not unwilling to
provide for such an increase as would re-
suit fiom this equalization and the cutting
Oil of allowances for stationery, nowspa-
pers. &c. This would have been eminently
proper. Had the pay Of members Of the
next Congress been raised to six thousand
dollars, without the allowances named, the
popular verdict would have been cne Of ap-

Packer, vote steadily against all increase

member of the 14th District, and shows
that he prefers lcgislating for the interests
ofthepcoplc instead ofhis pocket. Although
the argument was strongly used in favor OF
an increase, that the eXpensveness Of living
in Washington in conformity with its Gus
toms demandelit, he proved willing TO fore

ceuce and mshionn which simply amounts to
injurious self qualification. Mr.. Packer, in
this instance, has served the interests of his
constituents and the nation at large instead
of grabbing for the coveted prize, which tho
majority of the members, irrespective OF
party, willingly seize and pocket
Among the prominent acts of the late
session may be mentioned the repeal of the
ranking privilege, the revision of the pen
sion laws, the reduction Of the internal re-
venue force, the fishery bill, and the postal
reform bill.

THE LAW VENDECATED.
A VERDICT OF $40, 726 53 FOR THE COM
MONWEALTu.

A VERDICT OF Sli9,726 53 FOR THE COM
MONWEALTlI.
The jury in the case of the Common
wealth VS.. George O. Evans. this morning
returned verdict of Sl49, T26 50 in favor
of the Commonwealth. This settles the
question SO far as the Commonwealth is
concerned, and justiies the officers fully in
having the matter judcially tested.
Mr.. Evans seemed to be well satisfied
with the verdict, since, under the decision
Of the Court, ii is understood that it is only
a common debt. If he has no visible pro-
pcrty the judgment is worthless; and it
seems extremely doubtful whether he has
much left of the money withheld from the
State, if wsconsidcr the extraordinary ex-
penso incurred by him in his defence. lie
has lived in. the city of New York ever
since the commencement Uf investigation,
with almost a half dozen counsel engaged
for the past two years, and the expenses
thus incurred, with the large amount paid
to outside parties, such as six thousand
dollars to the Forneys, would soon deplete
his pile.
We presume, however, that the Com
monwealth will take the case to higher
court, in order to have the question finally
decided whether or not Mr.. Evans, in the
eye of the law, was public officer.
Gov. Geary being dead, Mr.. Evans was,
principally, his own witness in the case,
aud hence the Commonwealth was unable
to contradict anything he asserted about
arrangements made at the time Of his APP
pointment.- Harrisburg IeIegrdph, Wur. 7.
