Virginia City after having been in a
condition Of stagnation for several weeks,
was treated to a genuine sensation last
evening. AT about hali-past . o'clock
the people who happened to be in the
central portion Of the city were startled
by a terrific explosion, accompanied by
a shower of falling stones. bricks and
boards. The aifnghted crowds collected
on b and Q streets, rushed pell-men In
every direction. Teams standing on G
street caught the contagion, broke
loose from their fastonings, and ran
away at the top Of their speed. The
missiles which shot up in the air Mt a
great hight radiated from a point in Q
OF Hanak's jewelry store and so the crowd
OF startled citizens, a. soon as they had
recovered their equanimity, surgcd up
Union street A. far as II to learn the
cause Of the strange phenomenon. 10
was soon ascertained that the explosion
resulted from the setting of Of a huge
blast Of gunpowder by nan who was
engaged in removing q high bank OF
earth in rear Of the White House cloth
ing store, ON Q street, occupied by
Messrs. Coin K Isaacs. and owned by
Mr.. weinschenck The conclusion
killed two pet sheep belonging to VIM.
Mooney, livery stable Keeper ON ID
street. The explosion also demolished
two buggies belonging to the same gen.
tleman. Some damage was done to
show windows ON c street, and one or
two persons were slightly injured 10y
being hit by flying stones. This COM
prises about all Of the casualties. Three
teams which endeavorcd to run away
were caught before they had caused any
particular damage. Some idea OF the
explosion ear be formed from the fact
that powders weighing at least 200
pounds wero hurled AZ far as ID street.
We learn that Mcguire, the man who
fred the blast. was arrested upon q
charge Of violating a city ordinance.

THREATENED LIBEL SUITS.

Some OF the papers have both IN their editorials
and reports OF the scandal alluded to Mr. T1lton In
anything but complimentary terms, and applied
names to him which he, from his long experience
q Journalist, considered not only unwar-
rantable, but highly ibellous. He acknowl-
edged, he SAID, certain limit OF the
use OF his name In controversy of this
kind. but there were certain boundaries beyond
which 1t was unfair for them to 90 in the discus.
sion OF the issue. which at most was simply under
investigation by lew private citizens OF Mr..
Beecher's own choosing 1t was unfair for the
papers to assail him as they had done, and make
every effort to lower him In the esumaton
OF the community, He proposed TO hold
them all responsible. He had been called
a ablackmaier, iiar hyprocrte, koprophagan, &C.,
and he was not going TO submit to It. AS fast as
the libe0us articles appeared he had them cut out
marked and taken care OF. Some days ago he had
a conference with his counsel Mr.. Norris in regard
to suing the papers and his counsel ADVISED MIN
to do so, saying that he had good case Mr Tilton
mas been promised pecuniary aid by friends II he
needs IT, so ne instructed MS counsel to take the
necessary action against the Brooklyn Eagle ana
the New York World and Tribune Tue damages
claimed, 1t Is said, will be $4,000 each. other
papers are also threatened with suits.

A LEGAL OPINION.

The writer, meeting Counsellor Tghe 10 the
vicinity OF the Court House yesterday afternoon,
had q brief conversation with him touching the
legal bearings OF the scandal case at this point of
affairs. The Counsellor said that the summons
and complaint were very properly briei in length.
'There was nothing to be gained by extending the
complaint remarked the lawyer. illegal YER
biage was Of no use All that was necessary was
to cite the offence. Besides, being Short 1t would
be more widely read and better remembered. The
answer will be the usual one In such cases-a gem
eral denial to the entire complaint. The oom.
plainant Will be told to 90 on with his suit or
course the burden Of proof will rest with the COM
plainant and very pretty fight may be expected
between Messrs. Shearman Tracy and Bartlett on
the one side and General Roger A. Pryor and ex-
District Attorney Samuel b. Morris on the other
The trial will come before the October term
OF the Kings county Supreme Court and then
we shall nave -. lively reading matter or
defence have blundered all the way through in
conducting the proceedings before the Beecher
tnat Mrs. Tllton was told what to say by the
counsel ior Mr.. beecner, when she made her state

OF her husband since shortly alter her mar
rla2e and her conditlon OF mind were all cal

condition to be entrapped by the nattery and adu-
was very weak line lor the defence to take up.
Then came the publcation OF the marital manu-
scripts, the gushing, amat0ry epistIes OF Elizabeth
ana Theodore all OF which went most conclusiyely
TO give the lie to the statement concerning the un-
happy state OF her home and the coldness OF her
husband toward her. l do not believe her
worthy OF credence, and cannot imagine how such
an Intelligent man as Titon can apply the term
"wnite-sOued woman" to a being who is confess
edly 80 ignorant OF the difference between truth
and falsehood as she appears to be. With regard
to Moult0n's statement / think 1t damaging to Mr..
Beecher, rs there are many Inaccuracies whether
intentional or otherwise can't say, between facts
cited by him and their date OF occurrence ana the
published and ofhcial data Ol M0ult0n.

so long by the counsel; why was it not served
weeks ago ~
81 have my personal opinions upon that subject,
and one IL that Mr. Morris was In no hurry to serve
the papers at all until ne received Shearman's
taunting letter demanding their service ,mme-
dlately. That was on Wednesday. Then Mr.
Morris hurriedly lndired the brief summons and
complaint to show that he meant business, and

Religious Violence.
CHINCoTBAGUB ISLAND, August IL, 1874.
The camp meeting broke up this morning. Its
first three days were not productive Of such re-
suits as the ministers might have desired. The
preaching, however, was not at all adapted to
the peculiar character OF the people addressed,
bel ng cold methodcal and argumentative, and
not strong, passionate and exnOrtatory, such as
the ChiRcoteague mind loves. After Thursday
matters mended q little, Notwithstanding the
Moderator, Mr.. Atkins spent most OF his time IN
sc0ding his congregation for lukewarmness In con-
trbutng money and outsiders for not accepting
the terms OF the Gospel as ofered Saturday night
closed with q record OF sixteen converts Tor the

The violence OF the converts In jumping and yel-
ling was not without accident Nancy Lewis was
thrown or rather crushed. on one OF the benches
and received internal injuries, besides having two
ribs displaced. A young convert while coming
down to earth from one Of his terrific leaps struck

Yesterday afternoon there arrived in this city
from Nassau q shipwrecked sailor who tells the
following story:% was mate OF the schooner

laden with ballast to obtain cargo OF fruit from
Cat Island. On the 18th Of July We were wrecked
on Joe's Key, near Abaco. When we ran ashore
we were under two reefed sails. The night was
very dark and We expected that our vessel would
60 to pieces every moment, as the seas were
breaking over us and we were bump
ing at terrible rate. The next morn
ing the sea abated somewhat ana we were
able TO get ashore In our boat. Fortunately we
had provisions, which we had taken ashore and
we rugged up = kind OF canvas covering TO screen
US from the weather. Seeing that we should
starve TO death unless some erort was made, l
started with two OF the men Tor Green Turtle Key
IN our boat, which Is upward OF 100 miles on. II
our boat had not been in good CONDITION we snouiu'
! think, all have perlshed. The American Consui,
after he had heard our story, sent wreckers anu
saved ali that could be obtained from the wreck.
and mad the three survivors sent TO Nassau. the
wreck realized the sum OF S60S. The highland
Chief was built IN BO0thbay state OF Maine, In
1852 and was OF sixty tons register. The follow
