has no perfected national organiza-
ton looking to the social. political
and economic rights. Their agita
ton in Northern states has secured
repeals of black laws and passage OF
civil right bills. Their agitation has
secured to them positions of trust in
public places. AL organization,
which is designed to be national. is
being organized. whose object it is to
see that the Afro American all over
the county is protected in his civil
and polical rights. and is now
preparing is assert his rlghts-ae
against those who should be his
friends and have opposed him--to bs
employed in the trades and me,han-
ical pursuits Of life.
The reason why the Knights Of La
Dor have received no accessions from
the Afro Americans in Detroit is
that the same effort to enlist the
white mechanic or tradesman in their
order was not made to enlist the color
ed wage worker, and this organization
WAS locked upon as someteing kin.
dred to trades unions in objecting to
him as member Of their organiza-
tion, and as be has known to his cost
both rs to pocket and personal feel
ing, in refusing to work with him.
Such experience has no tendency to
make rush bliod folded into
meeting insult and prejudice.
Are YOU answered. Mr.. Greensll?
With respect to the invitation made
to the Afro American to become con-
nected with the Knights of Labor,
either by joining the older or form
ing separate assembly The Pain
dealer would advise the race to have
not ling to do with separate assem-
blies, but to connect themselves with
the older, and strive by becoming
useful members to do away with the
prejudicial feeling which has acted
against IL cir better judgement. Isolate
themselves by forming separate as
semblies, and they will foster and en-
F., courage the idea OF inferiority and
thus delay thir emancipation as work
men. Unite with the older, reap the
benefit of long organization. and the
stride forward will be more rapid
There is in this movement Of labor
much that is to be commended. Its
object is glorious one. accomplish
ment is not far off. and the Afro
American should take nand in the
fight and be in at the finish.

Origin Of the Quakes.
SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION OF THE
RECENT SHOCKS.
(By telegraph to the Dispatch.l
CHARLESTON, S. c., September g.
The Ners and Courier will publish to-.
morrow the following explanation of
the recent earthquake
There can be no doubt that the va
rious earthquake shocks had their orr
gin in the islands Of the Mediterranean
and in Greece and Italy. On August
Goth was reported the occurrence of a
destructive earthquake throughout
Greece and Italy; that there had
been two eruptions Of Vesu-
vius, and that the volcano was
still very active. These eruptions
gave vent to the internal commotion
which had produced the quaking Of the
earth in that vicinity by shocks being
communicated to the earth which trav-
elled in various directions in some
with more violence than in others, as
they were felt the same day through
out Egypt, but doing little damage:
The shocks seem to have extended
westward with more rapidity aud
violence than in any other direc-
ton; the vibrations of particles OF
the earth's surface being transmitted
under the sea at the rate Of about one
hundred miles an hour, occupying
about seventy-two hours in travelling q
distance Of G,500 miles before reaching
the western shores Of the Atlantic.
Travelling as 1t did almost due west,
one Of the first points on the shore line
which II could reach was the coast oi
South Carolina. But We have seen
that it was felt along the entire coast
as far north as Boston, and spread
across the continent with diminishing
force as the various more solid
and rocky portions Of the surface
crust retarded the vibrations until IL
seems to have been almost
entirely stopped by friction in the ex-
treme northwestern States. The res
son why the shocks were more violent
in the vicinity Of Charleston aud sum
meYyille is that there Ia more Of soH,

AT THE ALLAN HOUSE.

Mr. McIndoe, who lives in the Allan
house, at the southeast corner of Main
and Fifth street, gives as his opinion
that the shock was equally as severe a.
on Tuesday night last. The Windows
were violently ratified, and the whole
building was shaken through and
through. All the inmates of the house
got up, and two Of the gentlemen came
down town. What surprised them was
that the neighbors were not aroused and
that there were so few people out on
the street.
