DESTRUCTION OF 5CUCUTA

The City Destroyed In Four Sec
-onds-RePort, Of the Venezuelan
Consul. l-s.,7 +or = ztt. s-
The following is the report made
by j. NJ. Catalan, Venezuelan consul
at Cucuta, to his government, con-
corning the destruction of that city
by an earthquake on the 18th Of May
. last s7A
To the Minister of External Relations of
Venezuela:
Having returned to this city with
the part Of my family that was saved
frsm the terrible catastrophe that oc.
Cured on May 18, at San Jose de
Cucuta, / proceed to inform you of
that awful event, the consequences of
which it would be difficult to appre-
ciate at this moment, but which has
produced a lasting impression on my
mind, and left the most sorrowful
recollections.
On Sunday. the 10th inst, at 500
PM, the first movement of the earth
began, without any danger TO the pop
ulation. On the following day, Mon
day, the 18th. at $50 A.. NJ, another
shook was experienced, without any
" lamentable consequences, however.
But the following day. Tuesday, the
I 18th, at IL: ID A. M.,iwith clear atmos-
phere and an ardent sun, the earth
shook SO rapidly and so suddenly that
in four seconds the city was complete
ly destroyed, not q single house, and
scarcely. single wall, remaining
standing, while beneath their ruins
were buried nearly 5000 persons.
Those who, by the grace of Provi-
sdence, had their lives spared in that
awful moment, were nearly asphyxsi-
ated by the dense cloud of dust that
covered us to such an extent that we
could not distinguish an object at two
meters distance, until a violent gust
of wind cleared the atmosphere and
enabled us to respire pure air and
thus return to life. A number of
buildings in the city, among them

Henry ward Beecber.

From the first whisperings of the
scandal down to the dismissal of 1t
by the jury not agreeing, we have held
z Mr.. Beecher as innocent of the crime
charged against him by the miserable
conspirators, Tilton, Moulton & Co.,
who, in. trying to ruin the high repu-
tation of Mr.. Beecher as liberal and
whole hearted Christian and an hon.
est man, have branded their own
characters with infamy. dark and
damning, that will stick. to them
throughout their natural lives, ard
throughout the everlasting ages of
eternity. We endorse thoroughly the
conclusion arrived at by the editor of
the Fort Wayne journal, and COM
mend it heartily to our readers: in
There is no doubt of Mr.. Beech
er's entire innocence. 1t is impossi-
BILE for him, great moral teacher, and
the most popular preacher of the day,
to commit so great crime as that
with which he is charged. Admit
ting that he Is mortal, andpossessed
of like passions with other men, yet
he as q man who would not sacrifice
his standing and jeopardize the cause
for which he labors and devotes his
time and talents, by degrading his po-
sition In the commission of crime.
Nine jurors out of twelve discredited
the testimony of Tilton, Moulton and
Mrs. Moulton. who corroborated each
other, and regarded the testimony of
Mr.. Beecher, though swearing in his
own behalf, as outweighiDg in truth
fulnass that of the conspirators and
their accomplices. The result of the
trial is moral victory for Mr.. Beech
er, and confidence in the world of in
telligent, impartial, and thinking peo-
pie that virtue and right have prevail
ed, and perjury, hypocrisy and immor-
atty have been rebuked." .8oz

As financial party the Democracy
are proving an utter failure. In Con-
necticut they have been driven, In or
der to restore the depleted revenues
of the State. to the proposal of unpre-
cedented and peculiarly obnoxious
taxes upon savings banks deposits. In
New York they have given two fold
proof of their incompetency or dishon
esty, whichever it may DE called.
When they took the reins of the State
after. 1868, they ran up the expenses
and diminished the revenues, until a
deficit of seven millions was created.
although the sinking fund itself was
sacrificed. The Republicans under
Gov. Dix restored the sinking fund
and by rigid economy and judicious
legislation put the State finances on a
good foundation, until the Democracy
have again got into power and are, in
the midst of certain economical de-
vices, again inevitably working to-
ward deficiency and higher taxation.
g. The same result has been brought
about in Indiana, where the platform
of the Democrats declared that the
taxable rate of five cents On the hun
dred dollars was adequate to meet all
the wants of an economical State Gov
eminent. but where they have already
run up the levy to thirteen cents, or
nearly three times their ante-election
standard. In short. in no State where
they have had the rule, from New
Hampshire to Kentucky, have they
exhibited in practice the economy Of
which they have talked so much.
There is no reason why they should

Which they think ought to be cheap
ened by multiplication, and not kept
at fixed standard And then it hap
pens that in. most States the Democ-
racy have been so long out of power
that their politicians are unduly raw
enous and inclined to make out Of the
Offices all they can get; while their
long winded takers lengthen the leg
islatiye sessions and add nothing to
the interests of legislation. It will be
seen, therefore, how, immensely the
evil effects of their ascendency would
be shown in the acknowledgements,
where the chances of error and injury
bear no comparison to those allowed
by State rule-Boston Journal

5 Robert Dale owen.

sThe insanity of Robert Dale Owen,
of which the symptoms were detailed
in the World Of yesterday, suggests
the question which has been mooted
before, whether some measures can
not be taken by the authorities to
break up the business, of and punish
the charlatans who, in consideration
of the payment of money, pretend to
raise the dead. There are profession
al ghost-raisers in this city whose
ante-chambers are crowded all day,
the larger proportion of their clients
plundered of large sums of money by
these rascally devices. What is worse,
the minds of many are seriously inn
paired by the decisions they create
and foster A raid OF the police upon
the medium hells and the places of
the clairvoyant fortune tellers, which
are too often traps to ruin silly wo-
men, would be real benefit to the
community."-NaY. World.
&. This is true of Cincinnati as we'll as
of New York. There areano dens in
city. that need the attention of the
police more than those of the profess
sional ghost-raisers. That these peo-
pie are swindlers Is positive; and they
are not only guilty habitually of i'm
posing upon credulity-they obtain
money under false pretenses.
The above we clip from the Cincin
natl Commercial, and it applies with
equal force to our community. That
class of individuals are scattered all
over the country and ply their nefari-
Gus business whenever they can get
silly people to patronize them. No
wonder counties and States are COM
PEELED to increase the number of asy-
lunis. s - - 80
