1 . larttqiake Ifieraace.
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. Blalne nnd
mero worthy, therefore, of the high olllce
of president of the United States,"
An address lias bean Issued from Buf
falo te the Independent Republicans of
the nation, Blgned by a number of Iudo Iude
pendent Republicans et Buffalo, avIie
have undertaken te measure the exact
weight of tbe allegations made against
Gov. 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

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.

Last week State Veterinary Surgeon Dr.
P. 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."

better than the '83 as te drive It out or tbe

The '83 crop ia certainly an exception

late, the weather belug unfavorable, and
hundreds of unhappy formers would
have been glad te have com pre
tulscd with "the olerk of the

for two or three weeks past the weather
baa been as faverable as it was possible
for it te be, aud the orep lias grown
enormously. Some settings that wero
plauted early, have been out, nud plneed
upon the poles, and a large proportion of
that planted later, has been topped and
premisos te yield splendidly. Tbe quality
of the leaf is line and it has thus far es
caped nil the daugers that Its tenderness

Anether farmer was offered 25 oeuts

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. Lachonbrueh Our firm has re
celved mero inquiries during the last
coupie ei uays man ler two months pio pie pio
vieus. 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. We have sampled
no 1883 tobaeoo as yet. Tbe statoments
made about the new crop being peer are
all bunoembo. Ne ene knows anything
aoeut it.

While tobacco planting was geiietally
completed iu this locality uhiiut June 27,
most growers found it nilvisahle te till lu
miming hills with plants set out niter
the recent iiiius Tobacco planted after
July 1st mid handled iu the usual manner,
will tiotefteu mature iu this latitude, nud
If harvested at nil the quality of the pte
duct is inferior.
But thore Is a way te innke geixl to
bacco from Inte planting. When you top
your tobacco these late plauta will net be
mero than a feet in height, nud the seed
bud will probably uet yet be lu sight The
natural impression would be that these
plants hheuld stnini n while lenger bofero
being topped. But this will net de. The
only way te make Riiuh tobacco oeitio te
maturity is te top the plants very early
or when the m.iiu planting is topped, nud
top lower dnwu, leaving net nioie than ten
or twelve leaves en n phut. Never mind
if the Mower bud does net show, plueli the
top of the plant oil". In this way a few
geed leaves may lie developed upon every
plant set out late nud the quillty of the
crop will net be injured.

Beard then pitched into Kildle for the

Sixth ward, and concluded by euiipli
meeting him en his being an excellent
meehauie, and interred te a line p eco of
guttering iu front of Kiddle'd pnierty,

Kiddle retorted by balug that it he was
a mechanle he did leirti from him, for If he
had he would be a mighty peer mechanic.
After eome further words nlteut the
gutter iu front of Kiddle's house, Kiddie
said the street committee had ordered the
work, te whieh Beard replied that he,
(Kiddle; as chairman of the street com
mittee, directed the work te be done.
Kiddle said if the work was dene lu front
of his house, he could say he was a tax
payer, paid his taxes, aud that Is mero
than he (Beard) had dene; for ou
looking the matter up, he ascertuiuul that
he did uet pay any tareH at all.

Kiddle had scarcely finished the senteuce
when Beard made a rush for him, struck
him in the fact) nnd en the head four or

Beard, it is elaliucd by Kiddle, gave him a
parting kick. Kiddle was stunned by the
fall, and as seen iu he could get up, he ran
te the street aud picked up a couple of
Btoues, but did uet use them. Friends
took him away.while CityTreisurer Myers,

At the tirae of the assault Kiddle, as
