II has already been intimated that the
Democratic campaign textbook is fear
fully and wonderfully made. The long
chapter on the Republican management
of the Pension Office affords sufficient
proof. 1t Is the most elaborate attempt
ever made in history Of parties to squeeze
something out of nothing. But the eff
fort to make IL appear that discoveries
had been made to the discredit OF the
Republican party was necessary in order
TO make a show Of sustaining Commissi-
oner Black, and cxtricating him, If posi-
bic, from the most humiliating tangle in
which any officer Of high rank has been
involved in recent years. The work of
the campaign book is a attempt to fill
the country In advance with a mass OF
misleading material, in order II possible
to break the force of the forthcoming re-
port of the Senate committee which was
ordered to investigate the charges Of
General Black against his predecessor,
General Dudley, and which investigation
at once, through General Blacks pitifuI
failure TO make a case, becomes a boone
rang inquiry into Blacks methods ant
ability.

Big ReauisItionsfo for the Navy.

WASHINGTON, September Git Is un-
derstood that the next two months will
be a period of great activity in the navy
yards at Portsmouth, Brooklyn, Norfolk,
and Mare Island. 1t has been discovered
that repairs are necessary tosalmost every
ship within reach Of any OF the yards
mentioned aud that the interests OF the
Government require that the repairs shall
be completed, II practicable. before the
middle OF November as the Congressional
elections in New Hampshire, New York,
Virginia and California will take place
on November ., 1t Is hoped that by
working" the navy yards vigorously
and judiciously the Democrats will De
able to gain one Congressman In Maine,
two in New Hampshire. one In Brooklyn
one In Virginia and two In California.
That the Administration Is in earnest In
this matter is shown by the fact thai
| within the last three days acquisitions foi
funds TO the amount Of more than $500,
600 have been issued for the benefit o.
the four yards mentioned. The amount
sent to the Brooklyn Navy YMd for The
bureau OF steam engineering alone wa
$50, 900, and 1t Is understood that thii
was for the month Of September alone.

Tho Misery of Charleston.

1t was two weeks last night since the
first and great earthquake at Charleston,
and yet to-day the condition of the city
is about as ii was on the morning of the
first cf,1Sess~xbes Tho subsequent
shocks. though comparatively slight,
have been numerous enough to keep the
unhappy inhabitants in a state nervous
excitement. The work of reparation has
been delayed both by lack of capital and
fear that renewed commissions would de-
stroy whatever might be accomplished.
1t must be borne in mind that Charles
ton overthrovn by an earthquake cannot
properly be compared with Boston and
Chicago devastated by fire. The loss in
the Southern city is total loss, while that
of Chicago by the fire Of Oct. 8, 1871, and
of Boston by the fire Of Nov. 8, 1872, was
largely recovered on insurance, which
does not provide against an "act of God"
like an earthquake. Extensive as they
were, the Boston and Chicago conflagra-
tons also spared great parts of those
cities, while the destruction in Charles
ton has been general.
If that city had been burned down on
the night of the 31st of August 1t would
have been comparatively a minor misfor.
tune. The buildings would have been
levelled 10 the ground, insurance money
would have poured in, and the work OF
reconstruction could have gone ON rapid.

to do double labor, and altogether at its
