If i ultimo illscliiU(-o from llio Imttury
of Bcimtor Moiiton lias frlnlilcncil tlio
nervous portion of Democratic lender
nui) sent tlicm panic stricken from their
strongest lnlrcnclmicnt, what may wo
not look for hereafter so far na theso
chtlilllko warriors nro concerned? llut
tlio distinguished Senator will find other
thnn plunder patriots In our ranks who
look only to tlio flesh pots, and when
tlio lmltlo comes ho will flud an un
yielding Invulnerablo nrmy solidly
planted on tlio bulwarks. Tlio panic
stricken and nlmblo footed gentry of tho
Age, and Patriots of Washington and
llarrisuurgnnd thofroo-bootltig World,
will voluntarily or othcrwlso return to
their allcj-lanco when thoy learn, as
they assuredly will, that thero Is no re
treat except Into the ranks of the enemy.
Tho rank and fllo of tlio party Is a unit
on tho question of negro suffrago and
consenuout equality and will novcr
brook tho attempt to back tho party
down from Its high and noblo position
of tteni.il opposition to tho debasement
of tho government by voluntarily shnr.
lug It with degraded races.
Jisi'i IKvuandhls friends toll tho
pcoplo of tho south that negro suirrngo
nmy bo tolerated thero becauso It will
keep them pc.ico.il) lo, that thoy will in
u very short tlmo generally vote with
their old masters, who alono npprcclato
their truo character sufficiently to per
manently lnllucnco their action, and
that the negro at all events Is as Jll to vote
as the yankcsl Mr. Lew Cassiday
backs up his retrcatlug friends by de
claring that tho negro voto elected Col.
Deciiisut and gavo to tlio Democracy
tho victory In tho first Senatorial dls
trlct, so Important to tho party and tho
country In Its results. That tho negroes
will ovontually voto with tho party
that Is least aristocratic in its tenden
clus wo nover doubted, and It may bo a
consoling rcliectlon to somo pcoplo that
Uko all others thoy will bo altogether
, likely to voto with thoso with whom
they aro most lutlmato and bear tho
closest personal relations. But nil that
is begging tho question. Tho prlnciplo
U that this Ian WHITE MAN'S GOV
ERNMENT, mado by whito men, for
whito men and thoir posterity forever I
Shall whito men submltto have It mon
grclized? Shall wo tamely and forever
submit to tho fraud by which this de
bos lug result was temporarily accom
plished? Wo say rcsl3t it tho Demo
cratic party has heretofore unanimously
said resist it. Why yield now? No
higher or other reason is offered than
that continued resistance will onco moro
bring party defeat, whilo tq givo up
opposition will bring present success I
If this Is truo it Is no good reason for
yielding n principle so very important,
so essential to tho future welfare of tho
country and especially to our Immediate
posterity. But wo do not bellovo n
wordol Itl Where can a single advo
cato of negro suffrago ho pointed out
who will voto for a Democratic candi
date becauso tho party has yielded Its
opposition to that measure? We do not
bciievo a single ono exists If thero Is
such a ono ho is a fool, and not worthy
of consideration and wo would not
yield tho point if there were millions
or ten hundred millions.
What tho conspirators meant to ac
complish by throwing this firebrand
Into tho party at this tlmo It Is difficult
to discern. Wo can only account for It
on tho ground that It is an attempt (base,
cowardly and sneaking) to break up
tho organization of thoparty. Through
out nil Its defeats for more than ten
years tho Democratic party stood Intact
nnd Invulnerable a power second only
to tho government Itself. All attempts
to destroy, to allure or to break It failed.
It Is feared by every species of rascality
In tho nation. Superhuman efforts
havo constantly to bo mado to prevent
it from coming Into power. Warring
against has failed to affect its strength,
nnd therefore, for sovcral years baso
modes havo been resorted to In order to
undcrmlno nnd thus destroy It Attempt
after attempt was made, by nil tho
power of money and corruption, to Im
poso candidates upon it who did not en
tertain its sentiments, and at tho last
National Convention of tho parly this
villainous strategy was almost success
ful. Defeated In all other machinations,
tho audacious attempt is uow made to
corrupt its principles. By somo sur
prising means a small majority was ob
tained in our lata Stato Convention,
nnd In that of Ohio, to endorso this sui
cidal and disgraceful policy. Tho sub
ject was studiously kept from tho peo
ple, and n majority of our representa
tives wero suddenly transformed Into
dictators. In this thoso representatives
wero ns much above their business as
tho dutchman's ram that Jumped out of
tho Held from tho sheep into that of tho
neat cattle, and tho action In tho two
ascs was about equally appropriate
Wo warn tho men engaged In this
business not to attempt to clog tho can
didates with this fatal platform. Do
st ruction will follow if thoy do. Let
tho Oth resolution go as simply a vaguo
opinion of 70 panic stricken men in a
convention, and let it drop there still
born. If tho question requires decision
nt all, let it bo attended to noxt year in
tho election of delegates.
Surrendering to ltndlenllsmt
Tho Philadelphia Age, in Justifying
tho attempt to surrender to tlio Kadi
cats, uses this strango argument :
Tho fact of armitn.ornnpo In tho work
dono by HadlcalUm.has been as explicit
as acia coum mano it. xscgrocs voiu nt
ovory poll In the United Slates; thoy
Hit In every jury box. Only by a formal
nmendmeut to tlio Constitution, ratllled
by three-fourths of tbo States, can tho
wlioiosuiycct oi suuragu uo returned to
tho sovcral mates.
Tlio Democracy acqulcsco In existing
law, nnd yield to existing power, so far
as not to resist by forco'but thoy will
never ceaso to resist nt tho ballot box
and by all other fair means! Dema
gogues, political gamblers, cowards,and
weak brethren nnd falso friends, may
forget or shirk their duty, but they
iiavo neither right nor power to surron
der tho Democratic party. No political
convention or other authority possesses
that power. If any portion of Demo
crats, for any reason, chooso to tako a
"now departure," they havo a perfect
right to do bo, either by forming a now
party or Joining eomo other cxlstlngono
but thoy havo no right to attempt to
Bpcak for tho Democracy or tourag them
along,
As to tho Hlh nnd 1Mb Amendments,
Which givo to tho Fcdf rnl Oovernmcnj
nil power over Iho States ns regards tho
elcctlvo frauchlso nud thereby destroy
tho ludepcndciicu of tho St.ile, they
ecrc never adopted I .They novcr wero
proposed by two-llilrds nf emigres and
never wero concurred In by Iwii-llilriU
of IhoSlatep. They nro, therefore, fratuN
nnd proclamations can never givo them
Icgilliimloiiuthorlty. Tlionrguiiienlor
tho malcontents that they must bo held
to bo ndoptcd becauso not resisted by
forco Is nil bosh, for under tho law tho
ballot Is tho only modo of resistance
and that has been constantly nnd will
again bo resorted to. That war will
conllnuo until nil tho pcoplo nro restor
ed to power, and If they then npprovo
tho amendments they will bo submitted
to.
Objectionable and reprehensible its It
Is, tho mero matter of negro voting, no
grojurors, negro Congressmen and ne
gro rulers generally, is not tho worst or
moro dangerous feature of tho 11th and
ICtli Amendments their tendency to
destroy tho States and vest all power In
tlio Federal Oovcrnmcnt Is tho alarm
lug and most destructive feature. And
not to resist this to tho last extremity
would bo to surrender tho very basis
upon which tho Democratic parly was
formed and upon which it must stand
if It stand nt nil. Without that basis
no Democratic party exists, oud Its or
ganization becomes a mere niacliluo to
clevalo persons to ofllco who havo no
merits to put them there.

And now, 27ie JuanuiMsof opinion, ho ha.s pro
vided for tho ro-electlon of Oeu, Urimt.
VaUjANdioiiam Is otio of tho "rulo
or ruin" breed of demagogues. For no
higher apparent object than to render
himself conspicuous, ho so conducted
himself during tho war ns lo induco n
fool-hardy administration to martyri.o
him. Although condemned to death,
Lincoln did not deem him worth
cither killing or Imprisoning, nnd there
fore sent him to tho rebels. They or
coursohad no tiso fur him and sent lilm
to Canada, Thero ho obstinately re
mained In a stato of Martyrdom, look
ing over tho lino which ho might havo
crossed at any moment and remained
at his homo in complete- security, until
an opportunity prcsontcd itself of mak
ing a splurge. After having subjected
tho Democrats of Ohio to a J00.000 ma
jority defeat by forcing himself on their
ticket for Governor, tho favorable mo
ment for nnothor tceno of grand and
lofty tumbling arrived, nnd worming
his way Into tho National Convention
of 1801, organized n factious minority
which refused to support M'Clellan
unless an untruoand foolish rcsolvo was
adopted declaring tho war a "failure."
Ofcourso that declaration in tho plat
form secured Lincoln's ro-electlon.
After assisting to defeat ono or two
Democratic candidates for Congress in
liis district, hct appeared at tho Demo
cratic National Convention of 1803 nnd
conspicuously opposed tho nomination
of every candldato who was likely to
bo elected, and joined tho corrupt ring
of stock gambling politicians who nt
tempted to blot out tho Democratic
party by inducing its Convention to
nominate Chief Justico Chase, a vio
lent nnd bitter abolition traitor, for
President. Failing In this, ho aided
largely in getting up tho farco which
produced tho nomination of Snvjioun
and Blair ; a pieco of strategy which
meant Bimply to surrender tlio Presi
dency to Gen. Quant nnd which most
successfully accomplished that result.
SInco then holms been constantly schem
ing to llonlzo himself at tho expenso of
his party, and has finally hit upon tho
plan of turning a somersault from tho
radical point of Democracy, which lie
always professed, to land himself on the
skirts of tho Itadlcal party, and Is now
vainly attempting to identify himself
with their principles without (at pres
ent) being of them, shouting to them
"you are all right, good fellows, but wo

Tho writer hereof never was partial

having been careful to avoid making
their Issuo before tho people Their
professions arc hypocritical and their
motives aro baso, and should bo scouted
from ono end of tho land to thttothor,
Now Is a tlmo for Democrats to stand
firm and maintain tho integrity of their
principles and unselfish convictions,
Tho money changes soo tho steady pro

ic papers of tho Atlantic coast In tho
hands of old Federalists and Whlgs,who
of courso havo no lovo and scarcely a
knowledgo of tho abstract principles of
Democracy, at least no veneration for
them. They, therefore, possess tho
vnnlngo ground and only stern deter

Tho lliltlsli Treaty.
It is staled in quarters believed to bo
well informed, that over a quarter of a
million of dollars was expended,
In prewiring tho liubllc pres.? for
tho favorable reception of tho Brit
ish Treaty, nnd that a conslderalo part
of this liberal appropriation found Its
way Into somo of tho sanctums of Now
York. Ono fact attracted much notlco
among observing men, nnd which,
without somo explanation, such ns has
not been given, would havo been
tlecmed very extraordinary, Thero
was a most remarkable concert of ex
press Ion for tho Treaty, before Us terms
were understood, followed by a chorus
of approbation tuned to tho samo key,
nssoon ns tho so-called abstract from
tho Stato Department was published.
If tlio allegation bo (rue, that this Inrgo
sum was paid out to conquer prejudices,
or to remove embarrassing doubts, then
tho perfect accord of certain newspapers
In various cities, embracing a largo
radius nnd representing different Ideas,
Is explained.
The columns of many of tho so called
" neutral " or " independent " papers,
heretofore not much in esteem with tho
iVdmlnlstnitlon, bear witness that they
havo suddenly found in tlio eyes of dif
ferent heads of Departments, which
may or may not account for their excit
ed zeal in behalf of tho Treaty, thoir
intolerance) of nil Its opponents, nnd
their gratuitous championship of Us
peculiar advocates.
There aro unpleasant rumors, that
tho publication of the abstract of tho
Treaty was connected with transartions
In tbo stock market, which had boon
shrewdly dovlsod by toino sharp opera
tor, who had tho benefit of tho secret,
and knew how to uscflt. All theso re
ports, which nro credited in diplomatic
and other circles, nro qulto natural in
view of tho developments which havo
actually taken plaeo under our eyes,
and of tho Jobbery which Is known to
havo been connected with other nego
tinlions. Corruption has becomo so
common In public life, that suspicion of
pcrsounl Interest In legislation or in
contracts, is no longer discreditable. If
lnllucnco Is In tho market for sale, why
should not treaty-makers buy It llko
other merchandise ?
Tho Postmaster General would havo

Syphcr's History, In speaking ol tho
battloof Spottsylvaiila, says: "Colonel
M'Candless, who led tlio chnrgo with
conspicuous gallantry was wounded, nnd
Col. Tally nssumcd command of Ihu
brlgado."
Tho AVif York Herald's correspon
dent, In speaking of this battle, says:
"On Mondjy evening, when tho roar of
battle was Rounding a'ong tho whole
Hue, Col. M'Cttiidless, who had accom
panied tho llcscrvo Corps through nil
Its battles and campaigns, was carried
to tbo rear severely wounded to bo sent
to his homo In Philadelphia. As nn
officer ho had won great distinction, nnd
was u f.tvorlto with his companions In
arms, who now deeply fool his depart
ure." Ho was twlco wounded ; tho first time
nt tlio Fecund battle of Bull's Bun, lu
tho groin, and tbo second In tlio bloody
battloSpottsylvanla Court House, where
his left arm was biokenbya cauulster
shot,
Ocn. M'Clellan, in ids official report
of tho battloof Mcehanicsburg, compli
ments tho Second Itcsers-es very highly
and especially Col. M'Candless, their
commander. Ho saysjVAssault after
assault was mado by tho enemy, nnd
threo times thoy succeeded lu forcing
thoir way through on tho left of tho
regiment and gaining tho cleared
ground ; but were as often driven back
at Iho point of tho bayonet, Col. M'Can
dless gallantly leading tho chargo."
In speaking of tho battle of Gains'
Mill, Bates says: "At 3 r. at., tho en
gagement becamo bo severe, flint tho
entire second lino nnd reserves wero
moved forward to sustain tho first lino
against repeated nnddesporato assaults.
Gen. Bey nolds soon redo up and ordered
tho Second to advance through Iho
wood, clear It of tho enemy and Inko
tin n position on its extreme edge. Col.
M'Candless, knowing that tho movo
mcnt would bring tho enemy on his
right ilank, nsked tho General's per
mission to movo In at right tingles to
tbo position nsslgncd It. Tho Qenoral
was silent for n moment, his faco bear

nnd dissatisfaction, when ho replied,
'Colonel, General Porter is fighting this
battloon certain parallels, audhlsordcrs
will have to bo obeyed.' 1 would, re
marked tho Colonel nftcrward, I had
not asked him tho question, but had
taken my regiment in by mistake."
After tho close of tho war, nnd on Iho

elected its first vico president (Governor
Curtln being tho president) and deliv
ered tho first nddress before It at Harris

WAH111NIITON, Juno 0. Our minister
n China, Governor Lowe, has forward
ed (o Iho Secrelnry of Slato tho follow
ing translation of n report of nn cnrlh-
quako in Batliang, In Szchuon, mado by
tho Chlneso governor general of (ho
province in which It occurred :
1 havo nseerlnlned that Balhnng lies
on n very olovatcd spot, beyond tho
borders of tho province, about IKO miles
wc9t from Li-tang, nnd moro than thir
ty post stations from tho district town
of Tn.lslcn, on the high road to Tlbbot.
About 11 o'clock n. hi., on tho 1 1 1ll of
April, 1S70, tho cnrlh trembled so vlo-
enlly that tlio government offices, tem
ples, grnuarlos, stono nnd store houses
and fortifications, with nil tho common
dwellings and tho Tomplo of Ting Un,
wero nt onco overthrown nnd ruined.
Tho only oxecptlon was tho lin.ll In shls
(em plo grounds called Ta Chao, which
stooil unharmed In Us isolation.
A row of tho troop3 nnd peoplu escap
ed, but most of tho Inmates wero crush
ed nnd killed under tho falling timber
nd stono. Flames also suddenly burst
out In four places, which strong winds
drovo nbout until tho heavens wero
darkened with smoke, and their roar-
ng was mingled with tho lamentations
f tho distressed people. On tho 13th
tho ilames wero beaten down, but tho
rumbling noises wero sllll heard under
ground llko distant thunder, unit the
earth rocked nnd rolled llko n ship In n
lorm, nt tho mercy of tho waves. Tho
multiplied miseries of Iho nllllclcd in
habitants wero increased by a thousand
fears, but in about ten days matters bo
gan to grow quiet nnd tho motion to
ccaso.
Tho grain collector nt Balhang pays
that for several days before the earth-
mako tho water had ovoillowed tho
lykc, but after It tho earth cracked In
many places, and black, fetid witter
purled out In a furious manner. If
ono poked It tho spurting Instantly fol
lowed (Justus Is tlio case with tho salt
wells and ilro wells In tho eastern part
f Iho provinco); nml this explains how
it happened that firo followed the earth
quako in Balhang.
As nearly ns Is ascertained, there
wero destroyed two largo temples, tho
offices of tho collector of grain lax, tho
local magistrate, and Iho rolonol, tho
Ting-Lin tcmplo and nearly 700 falh
oms of wall around it, and 351 rooms In
all lnsldo; six smaller temples number.
ng221 rooms, besides lSI!) rooms nnd
muses of tho common people. Tho
number of people, soldiers and llamas
killed by tho crash was 2,294, among
whom where tho local magistrate and
his second in office.
" Tho carlhquako extended over a
circuit of 100 milos. It occurred slmttl-
aneously over tho wholo of this region.
In somo places sleep hills split and sunk
Into deep pits; in others, hills on level
spots becamo precipitous cliffs, and tho
roads nnd highways were rendered im
nisslblo by obstructions.
Tho peopla wero scattered and beg
gared llko mitunin leaves, and this
ialamlly to tho pcoplo of Balhang and
viclnlly was really ono of tho most, ills-
ressing nnd do3tructivo that has hap
pened. Tho governor general twlco
memorialized tho emperor respecting
It, who granted aid to rellovo Iho mis
ery, reopen tho roads between tho post-
houses, and rebu lid or repair tho offices
and dwellings as they wero needed.
Many nro now resuming their occupa
tions, and tho roads are everywhere
passable."
New Orleans Uinlor Water !
New Onr.EANS, Juno .1. Six sipiaro
miles of ferlllo ground, ono hundred
building bfjuares thickly populated, nnd
four hundred sipiarcs moro sharsely set
tled, but highly cultivated In small
garden patches, havo boon laid undcr
water by tho break of the canal. Twenty
fivo hundred houses havo their ground
floors under water, and moro than that
number of families aro to-night homo
less and desolato. Tho canal runs from
tho heart of tho city to Lako Pontchar-
train. Thero is always it navlgablo
channel ten or twelve feet deep, nnd
rlvo steamers and schooners perpetually
pass nnd repass.
Tho break began to threaten on Ho-
gan-avenuo on Thursday night. Tho
Canal Comiul33lsoners had sold to cer
tain persons tho right to removo' dirt
from tho Ioveo to fill up vacant lots. On
Friday morning ono of thoio men was
at work with his cu t carrying away tho
lovcoat tho very point where tho weak
ness was manifested. A colored man
living close by, begged him to desist,
for an cast wind was blowing, anil tho
waters of tho lake, swollen by tho lm
menso torrent pouring in from tho
Mississippi by way of tho Bonnet Carro
crevasse, wero rapidly backing up to tho
city, llo was driven nway.by threats.
Next ruornlug a chasiu eighty-llvo feet
wide was opened In tho banks. Almost
at tho samo Instant another break oc
curred a mllo and a half nuarer tho city,
where tho Canal Company had allowed
tho Jackson llallroad to tako out earth
lo fill up between tho cross-ties of u coal
line. Tho main contest was with tho
Hognn nvcnuo chasm. Tlio City Sur
veyor and his assistant, -Mr. rear.son,
with n gang of ono hundred laborers,
worked day and night. Piles, Hanked
bv sand-bacs. and barely four Inches
apart, wore driven ten feet Into tho
ground, nnd tho canal drodgo-boat wus
kept constantly at work piling up earth.
A waste of waters extended as far as tho
cyo could reach, broken only by tops of
trees and tho lines of houses and streets,
Tho Marino Hospital and thu Hotel
Dieu, with their unhappy patients, wero
surrounded by water. Cattlo, hogs and
goats huddled together on tho bridges
undlilgligrouiids, which every now and
then wore sapped and fell In, Two dogs
howled dismally from' tho roof of a
shanty, whore they hail remained tinro
lloved two days and a night. In somo
of tho streets tho water was flvo feet
deep. Gangs of naked lads waded and
swam from houso to house, robbing and
destroying, and ruffians lu skiffs and on
rafts broko open chamber windows nml
robbed tho ruined people of tho scanty
furniture left them. Tlio foreman of tho
Republican nowspaper saved his wlfj
nml babe, and wont back In a boat to
his houso only to find It empty.

A Shiifithu' Phenomenon.
Cinc'Afio, Juno 5. A cyelono passed
near Mason City, HI., Inst Friday morn
ing. An Inky-hued cloud or smoko-liko
column was observed gathering near
tlio earth's surfaco on tin open prnlrio
six miles rrom that place, and from this
column soon shot out thrco narrower
and splro-llko cloud-columns which
con tinned to ascend rapidly until they
reached antt seemed to attach them
selves to a passing cloud above. This
frightful apparition moved slowly to
wards Mason City, but finally changed
Us course, much to tho relief of Iho pco
plo of that plaeo. A lnllofrom Its tracl-
an odor much like that of burning sul
phur was inhaled by sovcral persons
A gentleman who stood at 100 yards
from tho cyclone when it passed bays
that small Hashes of electricity wero
constantly vlslblo in thu storm-column
passing from tho .earth to tho clouds
above, and that rapid popping, crack
ling reports wero heard, reminding him
most forcibly of an Infantry regimen
in battlo firing their musketry as fast
as possible. Tho pathway of tho cye
lono was nearly thrco miles In length
ami from twenty to eighty feet in width
nnd in that pathway not a spear of
grass, not n stalk of corn or wheat, not
a shrub, not n particle of vegetation,
was left nlivo. For somo distance tho
earth was literally plowed up to tho
dopth of six Inches. The column of
whirling air must havo been Intensely
hot, as every green thing in Us palh
was dried to a crisp. Another feature
of tho cyelono was that whilo Us rotary
motion must havo been of inconclovn
b!y great velocity, its progressive mo
rion was unt nbova tho rnto of six miles
an hour, i'ho outlines of Its pathway
wero so well defined that flvo feet from
tho outer lines of total destruction of
vegetation of overy kind not a vestlgo
of its effects could bo seen. Fortunately
