To tho Editor of the HBRALD.
| am a plain, blunt msn, and desire TO
call the attention Of the public In general
and city council in particular to two very
important matters, and being, rs before said,
plain, blunt mao, propose 10 speak right
out that which is tho sentiment of nine
ten'hs OF the people. In other words have
complaint TO mhke--in fact two complaints,
and they are, First the filthy condition OF

Strange Effect of an Earthquake


A Bucharest correspondent describes a
curious result following the recent earth
quake which passed under that city.
The soil of Bucharest is a rich, black,
porous, vegetable mould, very springy
under pressure, and carriages passing in
the street cause strong vibration in the
adjacent houses. The correspondent
says: "The Grand Hotel Boulevard,
however, was an exception to this gen
eral rule, and in my room, facing the
principal street, on which there is a
heavy traffic, never could feel any SEN
sible effect from passing vehicles. Dur
ing the recent earthquake the windows
and crockery in less massively construct
ed buildings ratified very sensibly, where
as there was no audible sound produced
in the hotel mentioned. Since the
earthquake shock, however, this state
of things has changed entirely, and
every vehicle passing the hotel causes
vibration in the whole building. The
singular part of this change consists in
the fact that the effect produced by the
vehicle is precisely the same as that
accompanying the earthquake. 1t is not
jar as previously produced in other
buildings, but saving motion. This
movement is so great as to cause
pictures to sway backwards and forwards
on the walls, and it is equally pclceptible
in the rear corner rooms farlhest from
the street. The hotel is of brick, covered
outside with mastic, which would show
at once any crack in the walls. ] have
carefully examined the exterior of the
building, and there is not crack in it.
Hence this change in the solidity of the
structure appears to be due to some effect
produced in the earth undernea tn the
building by the shock of earthquake"

The Philadelphia Record is Of the
opinion that those Chicago working
men" who resOluted against the accept
ance Of a bequest of 500. 900 by the late
millionaire, J. F. Armour, for the estsb
ishment OF mission church and school,
are altogether too good for this wicked
world. They take the ground that the
fortune gained by Dir. Armour in few
years was not earned by him. but by the
swest and toll Of overworksd and under
led human beings, and that therefore no
part OF it should be applied to charitable
purposes; that had he bequeathed this
money to cleanse and bcautify the mis-
ersble homes Of those who have done 50
much to make this wealth it would have
excused much, etc. Possibly had Mr..
Armour left this money to be divided
ameng the men who drew up these reso-
buttons it would have "excu ed" more.

LOtteries-When Lawful

Editor Morning Meas: see in your paper
of to-day "wednesday, 25th) chat bill has
been introduced into the New York Legisla-
ture to authorize any church, religious,
charitable or benevolent society to hold
fairs or exhibitions, and ct such to set up or
propose goods and chsttels to be rafaed
for" but that ''the constitution of the State
OF New York prohibits any lottery to be au-
thorized, or any sale of lottery tickets
allowed within the State"
may be o0tuse, Mr.. Editor, but this In
consistency 10 legislation puzzles me. II
lotteries be 30 injurious to public morals as
TO need prohibition in the fundamental law
OF New York, how is it that they cease to
be so damaging, when money is to be raised
for 9 church or a ch&ritys Is there no such
thing, after all that has been preached for
eighteen hundred and fifty years, as q fIed
moral principle, or sre they, all,
on sliding scale regulated by interest,
under the rule that "the end justifies
the means ~ The purpose of lotte-
~, "the distribution of pfises by chance, "is
the same in all; and gambling "the playing
for prizes" is denounced by all Christian
churches. I'm In dilemma. First, lotte-
ries are coHs!stsStiOnGlly forbidden; second,
they are not to be prohibited at church or
charity fairs or exhibitions: third the object
being the same, it ia unlawful aud wrong to
sell ticket for it on Broadway, but 1t is
lawful and right to sell ticket for it at the
fair. The question seems to me to be as
mixed SIS the last Presidential election, or as
win be the question between the missionary
and the Csnuibal vino eat him, at the gen
eral resurrection, OF (which is which,"

A Washington special says the colored
Mississippi Senator, Bruce, has written
letter to friend of his in Memphis, in
which he says that he has studied all the
great questions of public moment since
he entered the Senate, and he thinks he
is prepared to perform the functions of
a Cabinet Office if Gen. Garfield appoints
him to one. He says it would be emf
nently wise to give his race such a recog-
milton.
In setting up the claims OF his race,
Senator Bruce should specify which race
he claims to belong to. Being a light
mulatto, it is rather difficult to deter
mine that question by his color. II Cabi-
net appointments are to turn upon race,
do let us have the races distinctly de-
fined, in order that the claims of aspi-
rants may be decided accordingly.

Garfield and Graat-

A Cincinnati special to the New York
World says: Leading Republicans in
this city, like Ex-Governor Cox, who are
the especial friends Of the President-elect,
do not conceal their belief that General
Garfield means to emphasize the relation
which his administration will endeavor
to occupy towards General Grant by
selecting as a prominent, if not as the
most prominent, member of his Cabinet
q well known member of General Grants
Cabinet, who during eight years held and
still retains the mistaken confidence and
friendship of the late President. 1t is
intImated also thatthis adjustment Of the
pending difficulties has been suggested
to Mr.. Conkling and accepted by him"
Who is the "Well known member Of
Grants Cabinet" alluded TOT Can it be
Belknap, whose resignation the late
President fastened to accept to save him
from impeachment, thus giving uDmiS
taxable evidence of his "unshaken conf
dence and friendship" If Garfield is
really going to build for Grant he will
have 10 use some very rotten timber.

An IMPORTANT DECISION.
Woodward, of Luzerne county, Pa,
following the decision of the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania in the case of the
Burd Orphan Asylum. which exempted
that institution from taxation as a
charity, although it confined its bene-
ficiaries to female orphan children of the
Protestant Episcopal faith, has just de-
cided that the Society Of Sisters of
Christian Charity, the Catholic congre-
cation Of St. Msry's and the German
Catholic congregation, of Wilkesbarre,
are purely public charities and exempt
from taxation under the new constitu-
ton and the act Of 1879. II the decision
shall be sustained by the Supreme Court,
It win exempt from taxation many instI-
tutions in Pennsylvania which are now
held as taxable by the State authorities.

Geographic Monopoly -COnsolida
ton Completed.


The New York Times OF Saturday says
new scheme Of Geographic monopoly
has been perfected. A new company
has been formed by the consolidation of
all the American companies owning or
controlling cable connections with other
countries, under the title of the Ameri-
can Telegraph and Cable Company. Gen.
Eckert is the President. On Wednesday
last the certificate of association was filed
in Albany. This sets forth that the com
pany is organized for the purpose Of
downing, constructing, purchasing g,
leasing or otherwise acquiring, using,
operating and maintaining land and
submarine line or lines of electric tele-
graph, partly within and partly without
the limits of the State of New York. u
The capital stock Of the company will be
$50, 600, 900, with power TO increase the
same, and the term of the association is
fixed for fifty years. The new company
proposes, with the cooperation of the
consolidated Western Union Company,
mot only to increase the existing cable
facilities between this country and
Europe and to extend southwark the
cables which now connect this country
with Cuba and the West Indies, so as to
secure for the great coffee trade Of the
United States u direct telegraphic COM
munication with Brazil, but also to lay
cables under the Pacific from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu. From Honolulu one
cable will be laid under the North
Pacific to Japan, connecting there with
the cable from Itoki to Shanghai, in
China. and another under the South
Pacific, by way of Ellice's Islands
and the Friendly Isles. to New Gale
donia, and thence to Brisbane, in Aus
tralia, where it will connect with the
Australian and New Zesland cable sys-
tenn in one direction and with the Aus
tralian and Straits system in the other
direction. 80 -
