Or Tuesday last, at Albany, the
New Y ork Court of appeals, the high
est Court i'm the State, reversed the
Judgment against William NJ. Tweed,
who was convicted and sentenced to
the 7Penitentiary for thirteen years IN
November, 1873. This action of the
Court produced q profound sensation
throughout the city. A civil suit has
very recently been instituted against
Tweed and others by the city OF New
York, to recover several millions OF
dollars which it is alleged theyobtained
from the treasury by fraud. A sum-
mons will be served on him in that
proceeding the moment he crosses the
threshhold of the penftentiary, and
unless he is able to furnish the amount
of bail required for his appearance at
it's trial he will once more be commits
ted to prison.

RADICAL rule is q costly luxury.
In 1860 the federal government cost
the people $50, OOO, 600 annually, which
was two dollars per head In 1870
the ordinary expenses of government,
excluding interest on the national debt,
were Sl64 42l 900. State and local
taxation have swelled in correspond
ing ratio In 1850 two dolls RS per
head, for the entire population, covered
the whole sum of taxation other than
the indirect levies Of the federal gov
ernment. After ten years of Radical
administration the cost reached seven
dollars per head. Abating ten per
cent. foi the difference between the
money current in 1860 and that cur
rent in 1870, government, as now
maintained, costs double what it did
before it was committed to radical
hands. If we add to the amount of
expenses incurred for the ordinary
purposes of government the yearly
interest on the national debt it makes
a grand total OF over fourteen dollars
per head, in 1869, against five dollars
per head, in 1860.

THE potato bug, remarks an ex
change, is not the only pest the farm
ers of Western Pennsylvania have to
fight this year; the cut-worm is ex-
ceedinglv abundant, and is destroying
the young corn as fast as it comes up,
being more than usually destructive
Tomatoes, cabbages and other young
plants are also attacked by it. Large
fields of corn, planted in May, hay e
now to be replanted, and, fortunately,
it is net vet too late to do that. Cut
worms have been present in the soil of
this region from time immemOrial 50
that this is no new visitation; but they
seem to bc about ten times more nu-
merous this year than formerly. As
they burrOw in the ground, and come
up to feed mainly in the night, it is
hard to get at them, and there is no
application known of at present that
will insure their destruction. Many 4
farmer would be glad, just now, to
know OF something as fatal to this pest
as Paris green is to the potato bug.

a Terrible Disaster.
THE FATAL COLLISION IN THE CHINA SEAS.

Papers received by the China mail bring
particulars of the collision which occurred
on Sunday, the 4th Of April, between the
China Coast Steam Navigation Cempany's
steamer Ocean aud the China Merchant
Steam Navigation Companys steamer
Fusing, On the voyage between Shaghai
and Tientsin. The Fusing sank imnedi-
ately and fifty-fiye of those on board were
drowned. The North China Daily Neeos
says: .-4 -
1.-The weather was calm at the time, but
a dense fog prevailed, and the sea was
rising i'm heavy though unbroken swell.
The Fusing was going almost dead slow,
when suddenly tire sound of a steam whis-
tie was heard, and almost as suddenly was
seen the form of a large vessel bearing
dead on to her. The order was given to
back stern at full speed, but before the
effect of the engines could be well felt the
stranger vessel struck tue Fusing just
about the fore rigging, and such was the
force of the blow that the whole of her force
compartment was cut completely asunder.
The sceEe that then ensued was dreadful.
The Fusing bad about l25 people, includ-
ing passengers, on board, and almost be-
fore boat could be launched she went
down head foremost. Many of the people
were in the fOrecastle, some asleep aid as
she Owed into the sea some of the poor
people were seen running along her decks
to avoid the waters that were rushing after
them. Fortunately, at least in this in
stance, she had some deck cargo, consist
ing of spars of wood, and these hoatin e
as she sank were the means of salvation to
a goodly number Of the people on board.
Captain Andrews managed 10 get one boat
afloat, and into this we're soon crammed
about twenty-six of the passengers and
crew and to the honor of those on board
the Ocean be il said that vessel stopped
her engines, stood by, and, lowering her
boats, saved about thirty more of the un-
fortunates, who by his time were either
floating i'm the water or on the spars wash
ed from the deck If the Fusng. Still,
there were many whom it was impossible
to save. Some were either killed in the
forecastle by being crushed by the bows OF
the Ocean, or were SO dIeadfullv injured as
to be incapable of doing anything to save
themselves, and in this manner some sew
enty or more found watery grave. The
Ocean herself received such severe injury
! that had the weather been in any degree
rough. it is more than probable she would
not have lived to reach port. AS it was,
a large hole was knocked in her bows, and
her fore mpaI tment was filed with water,
but luckily the bukhead stood firm, and
SO another catastrophe was prevented
The sad affair happened about 120 miles
north of Shave isban Island. Favored with
continued calm weather, the Ocean reach
ed Woosung before the gale of Monday
night came on, or, il is believed by those
on board, she must have sunk, and there
fore the tale of disaster could not have
been told"

EARTHQUAKES IN ASIA MINoR.-The
Levant Eerdid of the 10Th of May says
that the earthquakes in various pats of
Asia Minor on the 30, 4th and 5th of May,
were more severely fatal than the accounts
hitherto received justified it in supposing.
According to the Broussa official Journal
adds the Levant Herald, ''the destruction
of life and property in some of the inland
divisions of that province was considerable.
The village of Sheikli, in the district of
Kara Hassan, had, ont of 320 houses 300
leveled with the ground, and 100 so much
shattered as to become unnha bita ble.-
Thirty one persons were killed outright in
this village, and seventeen more or less in
jured. At Tchoril 2S5 dwellings were des-
troye6 out of 800 130 people were killed
and 10 wounded. Other villages. not
mentioned by the Turkish Journal, suffer
co in proportion The town of Kutabia
was severely visited, but, happily, the
earthquake was there not accompanied by
any loss of life. The total number of lives
lost in the different localities where the
shocks proved destructive is not yet Off
cially known"

A LIBEL SUIT was tried last week in
a Pittsburgh court, in which VIM. u.
Moore was plaintiff and the editors of
the Post were defendants. The ground
of the action was an article published
in the Post, in February, 1874, in which
Moore, who was then Chairman of the
Democratic County Committee, was
charged with abandoning his trust as
chairman and being traitor to his
party. The trial of the case occupied
several days, and on Saturday last the
jury rendered a verdict of $4,000
damages for the plaintiff, Wehave no
doubt that VIM. D. Moore, who is a
lawyer, was even more astonished at
the verdict than the defendants. A
motion was made by the defendants
counsel for new trial for several rea-
sons, the principle one being the ex-
cessive amount of damages. That
they are excessive and outrageous, is
the expression of the entire newspaper
press of Pittsburgh and elsewhere. end
we think every intelligent man will say
the same We are decidedly of the
opinion that in no possible case can a
prominent politician of any party,
either in Pittsburgh or in any other
part of the world, suffer the loss of ten
thousand dollars worth of reputation
by the publication of a newspaper ar
ticle, for the plain reason that not one

THE California Republican Conven-
ton, presided over by Senator Sar-
geant, one of the most active instru-
ments of the administration plunderers,
indorsed Grants letter to Harry
White, as an etfectual quietus to ''the
third term SANDERS" We don't see
how. There is nothing in that letter
that negatives the charge that Grant
is a candidate but, on the contrary,
read from an administration stand
point, it is direct bid for third
term. We have no doubt the Califor-
MIA ofiice-holders are working in that
interest, with Sergeant at their head.
If Mr. Russell Eirett had got out as
far as San Francisco, the Pittsburgh
Post thinks that things might have
been different, but he stopped short
at Columbus. If Grant is nominated
it will be by the votes of the negroes
and carpet-ba ggers, and such Northern
States as California, Nevada, Nebras-
ka, and others where the office-hoIding
influence is paramount. .--4 nv
