Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, in the Kew York

sounding editorial. attempts to draw a par,
allel between Governor Shepherd and Boss
Tweed, but n forced to admit that there are
many. differences. He ssys, AMONG other
things, thst Governor Shepherd is mot q

The st. Louis Globe puts in ga plea for the
papers" and takes the ground that the printed
libels are not one half as numerous or as out
rageous as the imprinted lfbels of the pariors
in respectable, vell-to-io society. It claims
That II statistics were sttsinable, at would,
undoubtedly, be made to appear that where
one man is damaged, pecuniarily or morally,
In the newspapers, q hundred are SO damaged
In society. Its malicious gossip is Infinitely
more powerful for detriment than the most
wanton attacks Of the press; it goes farther,
searches deeper, and, for injurious purposes,
obtains much wider circulation; It is con-
fned to class, it is true, but that class will
be found to include all whose good or i'll opinion
the unfortunate victim Of the libel cares much
about. There is, too, the great distinction be-
tween the two, that the newspaper Islander Is
explainable, retrsctable or actionable; whereas
with the society SANDER the actual damage is
always irreparable."
The newspapers are bad enough, heaven
knows, but, considering the rapidity with which
they are written and made up, and the utter
impossibility of being able to verify the thou
sand rumors and reports that come to them
almost every hour In the day, the wonder is
that they are so accurate, and that they do not
number their libel suits by the minutes OF tho
day

between Governor Shepherd and Mr.. White
law Reid. The Governor was born here,
has lived here all his life, and expects to
die here. Mr.. Whitelaw Reid is an outlaw
in the capital of his country. he dare not
set foot within the District Of Columbia for
fear the man whom he has 50 foully Sian
dered viii invoke the strong hand Of the
criminal law to punish him for his crimes.
The, refuge from which Whitelaw Reid
filings his dirty falsehoods is the same that
protects the fugitive from Justice.

THE report of the conference committee

THE report of the conference committee
upon the currency act will be a sad disap-
pointment to many of these true patriots
who believe that as a nation we should pay
our obligations in our own coin, In the
standard recognized throughout the civil
lied world, and which is the just and equi-
table standard because it rarely fluctuates
The bill recommended is the widest infa-
ton scheme that has yet passed either
House. Under 1t. an illimitable addi-
ton TO the volume of national bank
circulation is practicable. The addi-
ton of the first $500, 900, 900 of ma
tional bank notes would retire $50, 900, 600
of greenbecks-after that, none. Arrived
at the point of $500, 600. 900 greenbacks. we
shall have 800, 600. 600 in national bank
and fractional note circulation, making in
all 81, 600 600, 900. Redemption of Govern
ment due-bills in coin or bonds is removed
four years-to July, 1873. What chance
of coin redemption, then. with our paper
money nearly doubled and gold at a pre-,
MUM of one hundred per cent? Is this
simply bid for another vetof

In local election at Oakland, Ca lifornia, q
few days ago the women appeared on the,
scene as the advocates and supporters of local
option. The San Francisco Chronicle, in al
luding to their presence, says "The no-license
people expected that their cause would be
much helped by the efforts of the women, but
they did not anticipate the cool efficiency and
thoroughly practical spirit which they brought
to the work. The expectation was that they
would be emotional, and that their most potent
weapons would be fsmiles, tears and entrea-
ties The license people confidently hoped
that there would be sufficient extravaganza in
their mode of making their fight to provoke
ridicule and prevent them from exercising any
real influence. Both sides proved utterly mis-
taken in this. The women came lpon the scene
as if they belonged there and were quite used
to it. They conducted themselves with tact
and perfect decorum. There was no harangu-
ing, no scolding, no symptoms of hysterical ex-
element. Neither was there anything that
looked like an attempt to gain votes by
'smiles and Establishments as had been
predicted. They engaged in conversation with
voters who seemed willing to discuss the issue
with them, and argued their case calmly and
IN q very mOQerat6 ana sensible manner. All
other thing scarcely to have been anticipated
was that they almost invariably assumed such
q tone as led to serious discussion, and discoHr-
aged both levity and undue combatitiveness.
As q general thing they did not undertake to
be witty, and entered into no war of words,
but said what they had to say with a certain
mild gravity that was far more effective than
the most brilliant wit. If in their general line
Of reasoning they were not strictly logical-if
they did not discriminate very clearly between
the temperance question generally and the
question as to the efficiency of the various,
forms Of prohibitoty or restrictive legislation
they nevertheless talked with sufficient point
and feeling to enable them to influence many
votes, including some, perhaps, which were
cast by impossible men of that class of mind
IN which no clear distinction Ia recognized be-
tween being convinced 40 Being persuaded.
The women were thoroashly and sincerely con-
WINGED that they were right; and sincerity is
great power in argument. 1t is conceded on
all hands that the triumph of the no-Iicense
ticket was due to their exertions."
In California, at least, wo omen at the polls
would seem TO be success. ia 4

PANAMA.
The Late Earthquake at An
tigua.

Scenes of Terror and Destruction
Three Indian Villages Demolished.
PANAMA, Sept. Pa correspondent of
the Star and Herald, writing from Antigua,
Guatemala, under date of the 1st, gives an
account Of the earthquake there the pre-
vious evening. On the Sd of September,
at $50 p. NJ, without previous warning, a
strong earthquake shook the ground viO-
lently in the direction from west to east.
Wave-like undulaiions on the surface rose
and fell at least a foot. The first strong
shock lasted from twenty-five to thirty sec
onds, when the contents of a large water
tank in the court yard of the hotel were
thrown out. Wild screeches and screams
continued even after the early terror had
somewhat subsided, and long after there
was the noise of walls falling more or less
distant, mingled with the sounds Of hun
dreds of voices chanting hymns for mercy.
Many shocks followed during the night,
every one OF which gave riss 10 navE alarrns
aud new implications. Ii was intensely
dark during the continuance Of the shocks.
An inspection in the morning showed
that about two dozen inhabited houses
were destroyed, causing a loss of thirty-two
lives. The number of houses damaged,
and which will have to be taken down, is
considerable. Many of the old ruins of
1I73 have suffered seriously. During the
confusion incident to the earthquake, sew
eral men appeared with long knives for the
purpose of stealing and numbering, but the
political chief of Antigua soon repressed
them. All the squares and courts serve as
temporary abodes. 1t will take some time
before the people of Antigua recover seren-
ity of mind enough 10 go to sleep in their
tOttering houses. At Guatemala, the cap
ital, slight shocks were felt. The Indians
say that three villages at the foot of the
volcano Delfuego have been destroyed.
