TIM reporters are after the scientists, '"! fled OHt all that is te be saldnbeut 'MrtbquakM, what they are, hew they MMae, and altogether the why and ! i wherefore of the creatures ; and the XI MtMtiata don't knew. Professer Swift, tfee xreat comet discoverer, confesses krtoraeoeofeaitbauakes. lie says that (ik te lblr canse "we are as Ignorant as we are of any subject abeui, which we ' knew nothing at all." It must be ad Bitted that this 1b a pretty donse set t of Igaorance. The professor adds, " We cannot account for earthquakes any mere than we can foretell tiie weather;" and he gives it as his opinion that the wisest man in the world cannot account for the peculiar weather of this season. He scouts the idea that sun snots have anything te de with the weather or earthquakes or any physical phenomena of the kind. Professer Swift's Jguorance of earth quakes is net te be disputed, and ether professors interviewed de net seem te be any mere enlightened. It seems that we are net even te be permitted te believe that the earth is internally u molten mass, as this is denied by some learned men, be cause they Bay the earth must be as solid and rigid as a solid steel ball te pie serve its spherical form uuder the powerful attraction of the sun. Until further persuaded, however, we shall Insist upon sticking te the idea that the earth has a molten centre, founding our conviction upon the suQlcient fact that molten matter comes from its bewelj. We also knew that within its stratlflca tiens are petroleum and gas. If we have te abandon the molten centre theory of earthquake formation, we can fall back en the gaseous centre theory, knowing that there is enough ferce in gas te make a censiderable disturbance under favorable circumstances ; vide the np pearance of Blaine en the top of the Republican party. Who knows but that the emptying out of the earth's contents, which has been going en in the oil re gions for the past twenty years, will net breed earthquakes for our confusleu. There never is a geed without a com pensating evil, or an evil without nn attendant geed. Things in na'ure are kept lu equilibrium. Our fathers did net have oil wells or earthquakes, nnd we have both. A Campaign et Morals. An attempt has been mnde te inake It appear that there is some hesitation or Inconsistency In the support of Mr. Cleveland by the Independent Republl- cans because of the filthy abuse of him which has been conveyed through the country by some newspapers that have made sewers of themselves, and by a broken down and disreputable preacher wbe nnd no character te lese. The contrary is Just the case. Such men as Beecher, Carl Schurz, Herace unite, uoergo William Curtis, the edi tor of the Bosten Herald, Cel. Themas W. Hlgginsen and Rev. William Uayes Ward, of the New Yerk Independent, have investigated for themselves the charges against Mr. Cleveland, and nre satisfied that there is nothing in them te render him unworthy of support. If the issue is made ills friends stand ready te prove that he has as geed a character , and quite as fair a reputation for private morality and upright ness of personal conduct as any man the Republican party ever ran ter president, and better than some whom it elected. In all that makes for geed citizenship, social purity and per per aenal character, his past record and his present standing in the community where he is known, is ns geed as these of James U. Blaine; and better than these ei jeun i. .uegau. it tne issue raised by the Republicans is insisted upon there will be a fine array of their hides hung en the fences of the political tan yards from Lancaster te Augusta. A very excellent illustration of the way In which the present state of the canvass is viewed by men of pure morals and discerning judgment is fur nlshed by the following private letter written te one of the editors of the In TKLLiaENCKit. The writer's name is net given, but his permission can no doubt be secured te furnish it if any one doubts the statement that he is a distinguished author and teacher in a religious de nomination noted for its purity and light. He writes : I am a staunch Republican, and have been ever alnce the erganl. zatleu of the; party. But I go for the Democratic nominee for president th's time with all my heart regarding him as a far better representative of sound Republican principles and honest pelitl cal methods than James G.

Cleveland's personal conduct ns a citizen of Buffalo. The conclusion reached by these gentlemen will proba bly be accepted by all the voters of the country who desire te believe the truth; and this matter can very well be left where It is new placed. When the charges were made against Gov. Cleveland, it was neceeaary that they should ba inquired into that the exact truth should be known. The Democratic party dees net propose te put candidates for efllce be fore the people about whom the truth should net be known. The voters, by the tactics of the opposition, have been placed at the commencemout of the campaign in possession of all that is te be said against the Democratic tloket, The biggest guns have gene oft nnd burs ted, te the damage of the gunners.

The following address lias been adopted by the national Indopendont committee Te tbe Iudopeudent Republicans of the Nntlen: As Republicans nnd IndopeudenU residing In llutr.tle, nnd having peculiar means el knewledge, we have been ealled upon by piivate letters and otherwiso for information in regnrd te tbe scandals which have bceu put in circulation re specting Govorner Cleveland's ptivate life. We have felt it te be a duty imposed en us by oirenmstnnces te examlne the stories in detail and make n formal state ment el the results. Ne such examina tion would have been necessary te satisfy eurselves, but it was due te these who have rend the obarges against Governer Clovelaud, without kuewlug personally bis general obnraeter and reputation iu this community , without knowing either the position or tbe information of tboe who have made the charges, that we should uet put forth a mero general statement without n previous investigation. We have, thoreforo, through a commlttce ap pointed from our number for that purpose, carefully nud deliberately made such an investigation, nud we have taken etery available means te ascertain the precise facts iu each case. The general charcei of dtuukeuuess and gross immorality which nre made against Governer C'le eland nre absolutely false, ills reputation for morality lias always been geed. There is no foundation for any statement te the contrary. He was sought out nud nominated for tbe mayetalty against his will, nud was sup. ported for that poltieu by tbe larger portteu of the educated, intelligent and moral citizens of Hutlale without regard te politic, and en purely personal greuuds. Alter he bad geno through this contest he was again put forward as ene of the most distinguished oitizens of Uutf.ilu na a oau eau oau didate for the governorship, and again received the support of the same class of hW fellow-eitizens in this community, where lie has lived for tweuty-nice year, and where his life was known nud his character well understood. This support would net have been given te him had be been elther a drunkard Qr a libortine. We are able te speak from personal knowl knewl knewl edeo as his acquaintances of long standing and te say that his general private- lile has been that of a quiet, orderly, sol respect ing and always highly respected citizen. Slnce he resumed his present oflice his visits te Buffalo have been few and of short duration. It is siisceptlble of abse. lute proof, and has been preveJ te us, that upon no ene of these visits has anything occurred te justify the statements whieli have been made by his detractors. The charge that he has recently taken part in n drunken and licentious debauch iu Buffalo, en the occasion of such a visit, is ontirely faUe. We have been particularly careful and thorough in our investigations of the al leged betrayal, abduotien nud inhuman treatment of a woman of this city as detailed in a local newspaper. The cir cumstances out of which this story was fabricated occurred eight years age. The woman in question was at that time n niuun, ueiwcen u anu -i) years el age, with two children, the yeunger of whom was 10 years old. The facts of the ease show that she was net seduced and that the allegations respecting her abduotien and ill-treatment are whellv false. We deem these the only features of the cbarge in connection witu mis matter which con stitute a publie question requiring auy declaration en our part. wur examination of the ether charges which have bten made against Governer Cleveland's private cbaraoter shows that they are wholly uutrue. In every instance in which the reports nnd insinuations have been tauglble enough te furnish a olue te guide us iu our investigations they have uueu positively proven te de false, The attack uien Governer Cleveland's character is thoroughly discredited when we consider the sources from which it comes. It was first publicly made iu Buffalo by a newspaper of no atauding whatever. We have twice called upon the editor of this paper and nsked him te pre duce his proof, the names, dates and otber particulars whieh he had publicly stated he was at liberty te show. He declines te de se or te facilitate Investigation into the truth of oither his own charges or theso contained lu the anonymous lotter which he published. He admitted that he had no evidouce te support any accusation against Governer Cloveland except lu the ene iustauce te which we have particularly roferred. He rested his case en that sterv. and as te that story he is contradicted by the witnesses having personal knewledge. The two clergyraen whose profession has been invoked te glve weight te these charges have no persenal Knewledge of the facts, nnd under tbe circumstances could net possibly have such knewledge. They nave ventured te state, as facts known te thcmsolves, stories which rest upon the merest hearsay, and when traced te their allcged sources, are in every case denied by the persons te whom they are ascribed. We have designed te make a candid and judicial statement of tbe results of our in vestigation of the matter without partisan coloring. We have uet thought it necessary or proper te repeat oharges against Gov. Cloveland in detail, nor te preseut iu full the uvldeuce by which they have been dis proved. Hi ftale, N. Y Aug. 0, 1834.

Bridge, of Philadelphia, nud Seoretnty of the Pennsylvania lleird of Agriculture Themas J. Edge, of Harrisburg, visited Columbia nnd Marietta, called thither by a disease whieh had broken out among herds of cattle In these places, nnd which had ballled tbe skill of veterinary surgeons iu this vicinity. Yesterday your oerres pendent reeeh ed from the I itter gentleman his report, which Is published iu full : The state veterlnary surgeon proueuuees the disease nmeug the Columbia oattle te be the Texan or splenic fover. Tills d isease originates among cattle of southern latitudes und is by no tneaus confined te Texas stock. It possesses peculiarities common te ue bovine disease ; the southern cattle show no symptoms of It themselves but assoeuastheygotacertalu distance north they infect every uative which cresses their trail or whieh is placed in the same car iu which they bave travelled ; nn infect"d Texan or Southern steer drinkiug nt a wateriug trough may leave the germs of dise.tsa whieh may infect a natlve animal weeks afterward , or may accomplish the same res'ilt by eating at the common rack or passing ever a common. A native animal may be infected by coming iu contact with any of the exeretia of the southern bullock ; tbe dung, uriue, saliva aud excretions from the surface of the body, are all causes or sources of infeotien. But here tbe danger ceases, for oue of our native oattle has ue power te infect ethers , it would seem that the virus of tbe disease lest its power after passing through tbe system et oue of our natives. In our latitude it will net spread from ene heard of natlve stock te anather, and we bave ue fears of any spread of the disoase at Columbia. Anether let of iufeoted oattle may be brought there at any time, for it must be apparent te all that a drover cannot protect himself in any way, but there will be nespread of the disease from the infeeted heard new thore. Other members of the tame herd, sold and taken elsewbere, have shown the in fection, but they contracted the disease at the same time as theso new iu the yard at Columbia. The disease at or near Marietta is pre neunccd by tbe surgeon te be contagious ploure pneumonia, and is of n far mero dangerous nature. It is contagious every where and with all boviue stock ; nn iufected animal may by contact infect a thousand, each of which will have equal power te Infect all that ceme in oeutact with thorn. The state law refers only te contagious pleure pneumonia, and iu no way gives jwwer te act with eatcs of Texan fever. The beard of agriculture, under nnether net, has power te investigate any disease among live stock, and give such nssistance and advice ns may he posaihle uuder tbe olreumstanoea, but the amount appropriated for this purpese (42e0)wlll uet go far when divided among su,wv,uuu worth of Iivo stock lu our state. As it is, it annually saves many thousand dollars te the Bteck owners of the 6tate, and has by prompt aotien, pre vented tbe spread of mero than ene care of dangerous and contagious disease. As te tha treatment of elther Texan fever or contagious pleuro-pneumonla, the same will apply te both. We cannot recommend auy satisfactory treatment for either of them and all that we cau advise is the use of tonics, which will assist and strengthen the animal and thus assist na na ture te fight and threw off thodlseasr; any ene who can produce a successful euro for either la sure of a fortune. With oentagious pleure - pneumonia lmroo lmreo lmroe diatoly separate the infeeted herd from all ethor cattlo;evory animal whieh has in any way ceme in contacter uas crossed tne trail of the infoetod animals should be re garded and treated as infeoted nnd care fully kept away from all ethor stoek. In termediate objeetB, as a deg, the men having care of the stock, running water, or in fact any third or moving object may carry the disoase from animal te animal, nnd should be carefully guarded against. Iu Chester county a let of six iufected cows from Baltimore market has already cost the state authorities much trouble and oxpense and also a less of net less than $ 10,000 te the ewners of the iufected herds. A slngle animal infoetod with oentagious pleure pnoumeuia may de an incalculable amount of harm te ethors, but a natlve steer infeeted with Texas fever is only dangereus te himself, net te otherB."

The Meed Leaf Trade, Te obtain the views of leading members of the secd leaf trade in New Yerk re specting the situation nnd prospect, a rep resentative of the Tolaeee Leaf made a tour of iuquiry Friday afternoon in Pearl, Water and Frent stroets. Many dealers visited were absent, enjoying their Bum mer vaoatien, aud, as a censequence, as full a report as wai. contemplated could net new be submitted for the benefit of read era. Belew will be found the stntoraents of soveral prominent doalers iu need leaf, which will be found interesting nnd worthy of oeutemplation : Mr. Wm. Vigeliua : The market is quiet, but the prospect for a fair business In September is geed. Just new we are betwlxt and botweon times. Ne oue cares much te leek at old goods, and it is tee early te draw samples from the new. Anyway, a great many people are away iu the country, and business is lieslcetcrl. The new tobaceo is net thoroughly fer mooted yet. Te Bay that New Yerk Havana secd can be bought at 18 oeuti, is te speak foolishly. In 1833 Pennsylva nia, se far as can be seen, premisos te turn out flne. The demand, whonever thore is auy, just new Beems te be eon eon oen finod te Havana eoed. TLere arj net mere than 2,000 casea of Wisconsin Havana seed new en the market. Mr. M.

Prices for old tobaceo ruled low, but geed lair prices are ebtained for suit able lets. Of course the prices roalized are net what the holders of old tobaceo oxpeetod, but then they figured en a market advance. Thore has been seme 1831 Pennsylvania sold this woek. Manu facturers' stoek of leaf Is low, and it will require only a slight improvement in the sale of elgara te sttmulatea geed business. Our firm has net yet sampled a sprig of 1833 tobaeoo, and I de net think auy of that tobaeoo has been sampled. This talk about the new orep being peer is all bosh, for no ene knows just what it is yet. Mr. Sigismund Resenwald I did net knew that thore was any market. The business that is new being dene 1b net worthy of the name. We have net sampled any of our 1833 tobaceo yet. I was out iu the growing districts in Wisconsin last week, and found the growing crop of tobacco thriving nleely. Mr. G. Mayer Thore is really uethlng doing in Beed leaf. The sale of Sumatra is knocking everything end wise, Thore will be iu,uue bales or that tobaeoo that will onme in hore this year, and that ia equal te 30,000 eases of seed leaf.
