Earthquake in Asia Minor.

The LerGnt Herald of the 10Th, says that
the earthquakes experienced in various parts
Of Asia Minor, on the 3D., 4th and 9th Of May,
were more severely fatal than the account
hitherto received justified it in supposing.
according to the Broussa official Journal ~
adds the LsrdHt Herald, ''the destruction Of
life and property in some Of the inland diyi.
siobs Of the province was considerable. The
village of Sheikh, in the District of Kara His.
san, had, out Of 800 houses, 200 leveled with
the ground, and 100 so much shattered as to
become uniuhabitable. Thirty-one persons
were killed outright in this village, and II
more or less injured. At rchoril, 2S5 dwell.
lings were destroyed out Of 5000; 1870 people
were killed and 10 wounded, Other villages,
not mentioned by the Turkish journal, suffer.
ed in proportion. The town Of Kutahie 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 officially known

A number of citizens OF Odenton, Anne

rage upon Miss jackson was committed by
the negro Sims, about o'clock on Monday
morning, proceeded to the Jail at Annapolis
and demanded the keys from the iailer with
view of taking Sims out and exc cutting him
The jailer resisted but was searched and the
keys having been found, large number of
the visitors, all with blackened faces, went to
the cell of the negro and finding him chained
released him, took him out and hung him to
n tree u short distance from Annapolis. The
mob was well provided with pickaxes, crow
bars and other instruments for gaining admis
sion TO the Jail had they met with forcible
resistance. Some Of the lynchers proposed
hanging another negro who is in Jail awaiting
trial for rape on colored woman, but others
demurred aud the mob was satisfied with tax.

The BoRDgR WAR.-Additiona details are
at hand Of the recent fight between the Texas
State troops, under Captain McNeely, and
band of thirteen of Cortinas' cattle thieves, in
which twelve Of the latter were killed, and
one escaped by hiding in the tall grass, though
badly wounded. Cortina threatens vengeance,
and has been preparing for fight for more
than week. 1t is also stated that Cortina
has been peremptorily ordered to report in
person at the City of Mexico, and that Gen.
eral Friero, with a force of three thousand
men, is marching to apprehend him. 1t is
feared that Cortina will make raid across
the border in force, where he would be aided
by the Mexican squatters. Active prepara-
tons are being made at Brownyille to repel
any attack, and the utmost watchfulness is
exercised.
Advices from the Mexican border show
that General Cortina is shipping beeves aud
hides, having American brands, to Cuba.
Cortina's resignation, it is said, has been ac-
eepted by the Mexican Government, which
wishes to remove him from the border, ''but
he does not intend to co. He recently left
Bagdad for some destination not known, with
seyenty-fve men. Meantime cattle stealing
goes on the same as ever. News was receiv.
ed at Brownsville on Saturday that Captain
McNeely, Of ahe State troops, had overtaken
and killed twelve cattle thieves, about twelve
miles from that city, and recovered $50 cattle

The Hon. james g. Blaine of Maine was
among the passengers on the Boston and New
York express train, which was wrecked near
fremont Station on Saturday evening. He
has been confined to his bed ever since the
accident. In addition to several scratches on
different paris of the body, severe bruise
was received in the right side which gives
him such acute pain at times as to render
talking difficult 1t is now thought, however,
that no bones were broken, and Mr.. Blaine
expresses the hope that he will be up again
in few days, as there is no evidence of any
serious internal injury. file states that he
was sitting quietly in one of the parlor cars
the train running at about 35 miles per hour
when he felt, by the peculiar jolting, that
the wheels were off the track, and almost i'm.
mediately thereafter the car was thrown
around and over on its side, with men, wo-
men, band-boxes, sofas, and other things, in
promiscuous heap at the bottom. The pas.
sengers were at least ten minutes in extrica.
ting themselves from the wreck. Vice Pres.
ident Wilson was on the same train but sus-
tanned no severe injury.

Political Notes.


How rHR AccouEr SrANDs.-In General
Grants recent letter, bidding for third term
and scofliDg at the examples Of Washington
and jefferson, he argues that the change from
one office 10 another is business transaction
only, and be stoutly maintains that he made
a great sacrifice in giving up his place at Gen
eral in order TO become President. Since he
puts il on this footing, he cannot complain
that his own scale Of appreciation should be
applied as test in order to ascertain what
his pecnniary sacrifice really was.
We are not left in doubt as to the exact
figures, and hence the comparison Is easy.
The pay Of General Of the Army is fixed BY
law at $4,000. That Of President has been
$780, 900 year since March 4th, 1873, and
was raised by the President personal impor.
tuniiy. From Washington to Grant It had
never varied from $4,000 year. Now, let
us see how the account stands:
-Four years President, from 1869 TO
1873, at $4,000, 100000
-Four years President, from 1878 to
1877, at 100000, 100000
$4,000
Eight years General, from 1869 to
1877, 10000
Excess in salary as President, $l92, 200
II would have required more than twenty.
two years for him as General to have realized
the salary he will have received for eight
years as President. Or, in other words, he
could not before 1891, as General, have drawn
from the United States Treasury the 100000
which he will have drawn as President, if he
lives to the 4th Of March, 1877.
The Democratic Legislature of New York
has reduced the State taxes more than two
millions Of dollars year. They have cut
down the tax levy from fifteen millions to
thirteen millions Of dollars. Upon the same
ratio this would be equivalent to a saving in
the Federal Government of full fifty millions
Of dollars year. 1t seems to pay the people
to elect Democrats TO oiiice.-Ciaeinadi En-.
