= WoCp' 3lCENsURED.-Fernando Wood
was once censured by the, House of Repre-
sentatiyes. / well remember the time I
was in January, 1868, while the recon-
struction bill was under discussion. Mr.
Wood, of course, opposed the bill, and
during very bitter speech he spoke of tht
measure excitedly as "a bill without y
title; child without name, and, proba-
by, without a father; monstrosity; h
measure the most Infamous of the many
Infamous acts of this most infamous Con-
gerss.'' There was at once tremendous
excitement In the House. John A. Bing-
ham at once called Mr.. Wood to order
and denounced his language. Mr.. Dawes
demanded that the words should be take,
down, which was done, and he then offer
ed resolution directing that Mr.. Wooo
be censured by the Speaker within the ban
of the House. The resolution passed
ayes ia; nays, Island Speaker Colfax
called Mr.. Wood before him and read from
Mays Parliamentary Practice a short
chapter on the respect due from member
to the parliamentary body, and then will
a mild reproof, babe Mr.. Wood return to
his seat. The N W York member was no
more disturbed by the proce ediDgs than BIT
would have been by the calling of the roll
He had the air of one conferrlng favor
on the Speaker. When he reached his
seat he asked, in the blandess manner, il
he would be allowed to finish his, speech.
This raised a laugh, but the House would
not hear him, and he was compelled to
print the remainder of his speech.

THE EARTHQUAKE AT CHIC.
from the Tmes.)
CONsrANTINOPLE

CONsrANTINOPLE April 4.
According to official information receiv.
ed by one of the Embassies here, the Island
Of Chic was yesterday afternoon the scene
of a violent earthquake, by which the prin-
cipal town in a great part was destroyed.
Several villages on he mainland, opposite,
have likewise suffered.
April s.
The latest intelligence from Chic proves
that the disaster is even greater than was
at first supposed. Kastro, the chief town
of the island, containing about 600 stone
houses, is described as almost in ruins.
The population, who are fearing new
shocks, are encamped in the surrounding
fields. About 400 dead bodies have been
already found, and it is believed that a
much larger number still remain buried
under the ruins. Other towns and villages
on the island and several on the mainland,
opposite, in all about 30, have likewise
suffered, and as far as Smyrna the shocks
we're distinctly felt.
On receiving the intelligence the Sultan
was deeply moved, and gave orders that
energetic measures should be Immediately
taken to alleviate as far as possible the
sufferings of the survivors.
Midhat Pasha, the governor of Smyrna
Viiayot, and Sadyk Pasha, the Governor
Of the Archipelago, are actively superin-
tending the operations for extracting the
dead bodies, and providing food for the
destitute, whose number, itjis said, amounts
to 10000.
By the express orders Of His Majesty, a
steamer was despatched from the Golden
Horn last night with provisions, surgical
appliances, and q medical staff. A steam
