Mr. Maine's Marriage Mr. Dlalue Bays of bis marriage, that ' we were, In the presence of chosen and trustei friend, united by what I knew was, .In my native state .of Penn sylvania, a perfectly legal form of mar riage." Tniswas en June 30, 1850, in Kentucky. He does net explain tlie mede of marriage, but any form of mar riage 1 geed under Pennsylvania laws. It only needs tobe proved. Mr. Blaine discovered that the Kentucky laws re quired n license te make a marriage valid; therefore became te Pennsylvania in March, 1851,uud was married In Pitts burg by a clergyman no publication, however, bslnjr made of this ceremony. In the following June a child was born. Clearly, if Mr. Blaine's story is true, lie did nothing blameworthy. But if he is as innocent as his statement shows, why did he net meet the accusation against him with hli simple story in the first instance V Why did he leap into a suit for libel te defend himself against the Imputation founded upon the discovered fact that he was married in Pittsburg in March and had u child born te him in Juue V Mr. Blalne puts en an air of injured innecence which it does net become him te assume when lie admits that he was secretly married twice and has te con cede that the Qrst marriage was un known te the public, until he new re veils It. Mr. Blaine's biography even does net record the marriage Mr. Blaine new claims in Kentucky. It ciedils him only with the Pittsburg fliarriage, us we understand the facts. Why then should the Indianapolis isenU" ncl or nny one else be supposed te knew or the undiscovered Kentucky cere meny 'I Obviously, when disagreeable reports came te Mr. Blaine's ears founded upon the date of the Pittsburg marriage, it was his duty, if he wanted te still them, te tell of the previous Kentucky ceremony. If he had done se, there would have been no particular Induce ment te disbelieve him. But when he prefers te sue for libel these who have charged him with wrong doing, in ignorance of n ceremony which he kept secret, there is cause te suspect that there is something fanciful about the Kentucky marriage; a suspicion that is net allayed by his failure te name the witnesses who he sas were presiu' at it. tT"3WITMm .. . i,... Mr. Blaine falsifies se naturally that his own word Is proof of nothing. He is a sharp fellow ; and it is net te be easily assumed that he would have lived for thirty jears under the imputation which lie new repels, if he had nil the time at his command the full refutation of it f upplied by the fact of n Kentucky mucriugeiu 1S50. The Characlcr.er lllnlue's Campaign General Grant has cilled upon Mi. Blaine, who has arrived In "New Ymk en his projected tour Ohie ward. Mi. Blaine greeted G ea.Grant very eff uli ely, nnd was evidently delighted te have him call upeii and give liim the benefit of his adhesion. A few months age Gen. Giant would have been u very valuable ad herent, but lie has been tee completely used up m the Grant k Ward crash te be of any use hereafter in influencing public opinion. Mr. Blaine d:w net made a very bril liant start upon his pilgrimage,! and has crept into New Yerk without the sound of a drum. An elaborate pregramme of travel has been laid out for his west ward progress, :iud. i powerful elTrt is te be made te stir up the enthusiasm of his adherents during his progress. This evening he la serenaded in Xew Yerk, where he will speak. On Moe lay the Union league of Philadelphia 15 te take him in hand, and en Tins las he returns te Xew Yerk, where the Union League there will exhibit him. Then he starts westward ever ihe Xew Yerk Cdiiti.il railroad, and ova tlens will adorn Ins deliberate pregri's He will get into Ohie in about a week, jfnd after si few days there will withdraw by way of Pittsburg through Pennsyl vania, his eastward pi egress being determined iiiitsclmraeterbv the u i'.he of thu,Ohie result. It Is high time Mr Blaine wan dlr rinp; up his canvass. , Sj far it hat been a very hum-drum affair. We ctrainly expected a pyrotechnical cam, i'gn from his nomination j but .11! his wealthy friends seem te be " brehn " in pocket as badly us he is in spirit, and no cash or enthusiasm has as yet been let loose.

About 'J o'clock Friday nfternoen the Bheck of an carthquake was felt distinctly in many of the larger buildings of Olevo laud, Ohie. At the Prtst otlleo there seemed te batwoerthrco sudden swayings of the brick building, and the tables waved en the tloer se as te Interrupt writing. The motion was from west te ca3t, and was confined te two or thrce roekings, tlnally subsiding and d)ing away in .1 sort of tremor. The shock was felt at the Cleveland, Columbus, Cinclnnnttl ti Indiauapelis railroad fi eight house, whero chairs danced about and gas fixtures swayed violently. Puller's carpet-beating works rocked violently. Persons sitting faelug north wcre shaken iu their chairs and much startled. The attaches of the signal her vice station felt the shocks, agreeing that they wcre thrce in number, and in duration from tlftccn te thirty seconds. Sergeant Line was busy at the time, and was skepti cal at tlrst. Assistant P.iyne timed the shock at thirteen minutes te 3 o'clock, local time There are ue instruments at the station which weatd roeonl the vibra tien. Anether operator at the office, who was balancing bis ehalr en two legs, in just the proper position, was nearly thrown from his s;at. The mass of tolegraph wires in front of the offlee window were perceptibly agitated Dy the shock, t. A. Ceuurn, an architect et the Ulaokstuce block, was iu the tlfth isterj of the building, aud said he thought the structure would tumble. Several buildings are reported injured. Large sections of plastering fell from the ceilings of the new pest oltice building. The shock appeared te chase across tbe eity like a streak of lightning. Oq ene street it was severe, while two b'ecks away it was net felt at all. The earthquake was general throughout the lower L ifee region. The shock was felt at Akren, Canten, Columbus, Postena, Dailaucc, Teledo, North Amherst, Cecil, llellofeutaino aud ether points throughout Northern Ohie. It did net extend south of Columbus. At Teledo pictures, furn iture and household goods wcre thrown from the shelves. At Cecil goods wete thrown from the shelves, In the depot the pssseugers rushed out of the building, thinking a train bad crushed into it. In West Cleveland, the shock was mero se cre than in any portion of this city. A mgnt watenman was awaitcncu lrem a sound sleep, aud, fearing tbe end of the world was at hand, rushed into the street, and, tailing upon his knees, began te pray. Wemen and ch Idren ran into the atreets crying bitterly. At Hockpert a farmer who was riding aleug in his carriage, was thrown te the ground and his wagon was badly damaged. At New Londen pan. demenlnm roigued and the public schools were dismissed. lleperta continued te arrive from neailj every section of .et'iern unie, uut up te this time no serious rcEultn havebeea reported. llr.euusU'j r.xperlenct, A few minutes before 3 o'clejk Thurs day afterndOL tbe telegraph epsratar at the Uee Line 1 met iu Cincinnati received 1 dispatches from the operators all alenjr that read from Cincinnati te Lafayette, Ind,, inquiring if tbe oatihiuake shock had been felt in Cincinnati, and stating that it had been perceptible at tbe offices from which the inquiries w cre sent. About 3 o'clock, Cincinnati time, the oporater parcpivcd a slight tremor in the building. The same thing was noticed iu various efllcea in the city, but was net attributed te tbe carthquaLe until telegraphie dis patches from the West had coma in. It was quite different in some of the suburbs iu Cincinnati. Iu Cliften the agitation was se violent as te ring bells en tables, and in 6ome instances ou doers. At Cummlnsville, iu the Northwestern ward of Cincinnati, the tremor was felt se distinctly as te cause quite an alarm, net only 111 the publie pchoels, where the pupils wero with difficulty kept in their seats, but also in private houses. The bouse of Captain Frazier, of Cummins vllle, was violently shaken, se that the in mates beoame alarmed. In the Mornicgten school house, iu the Northeastern part of Cincinnati, an agita tien was felt, whish was recognized at once by tbe teachers as being caused by an eartbquake. Here, tee, it required all the authority of the teachers te avoid a panic. The Tremor In Tuleilu. A shock of earthquake was distinctly felt iu Teledo, 0-, at, 2:20 Trlday afternoon and lasted lifteen seconds. The uoise rcsembied thatef a distant blast.

Iu seme le calities, particularly in high buildings, it was mero noticeable than in ethers. All aleug Qnsweld street the check was felt very distinctly, aud meu rushed into the street, looking about anxiously as if ex pecting the buildings te fall upon them The shock lasted from ten te 20 seconds, aud there was a swaying motion that nttted windows and shook chandeliers, lleat captains say there was a uoticeabie rise iu the river at the same time. At the tclepbeQO office no shock was felt, while in the Bime building, acrejH the hallway, it was very peroeptihle. Tne empleyes of the Whitney Organ company assert that the building vibrated at least fourteen inches. In the Western Union building the Iber ecenicd te heave. The operators left their instruments, and men iu the lower part of the building made for the street In the Chambssr of Commerce building the shock was felt en the lowest Iber.

The Moresinl case had oxeltod fresh In. torest I-ridaybya dlsolesuro of the fact that Mrs. Moreslul was se worked up ever her daughter's elopement that she made three attempts at suiolde. On Thursday morning of last week alie swallowed laudanum, nnd Dr. Pike and Chief of Police Mangin were sent for. They walked her about the heuse for hours, until she recovered.

He was dls. suaded from sailing by Jay Gould, who insisted that Moreslni should remain and 8Jtt!e up certain branches of business iu his hands. When this is dene Moresinl declares that he will go te Italy, nover te rcturu te this country. Victeria sent te her bauker (Callette) Friday for the $5,000 in her name, euly te be told that her father had put an lnjnnotlen ou it restraining the banker from paying it te her. Moresinl claims that he plaoed the raonev thore for Vloteria te use as bis child, and that by her marrlage she has lest a right te it. She also demanded her clothing, which v, as refused.

Under the inspiration of the "platltude" that " the second sober thought of the pcople is alwnys cfllclect and uever wrong," it was thought that Martin Vau Bureu would certainly be nominated for prwidcnt in 1314, bat it is well known that his chances were " foreshortened" by the adoption of the (doubtfully demo cratic) " twe-thlrd rule." in the Baltimore convention. Of course, that matter new belongs te the history of the put ; but seme of Its coincidences may serve te illustrate the peculiar evolutions of parti san politics for along time te ceme. Ou the occasion referred te. a siicculatinir juute essayed a "corner' in song books adapted te the caneidicy of Van Barcu, which could net possibly be adapted te the candidacy of Polk. Then the anta;onUtie party mamfestcd any amount of sympathy for the Van Ilurenitcs, and vowed it " au everlasting shame" that such a mau as Van Huren sben'd be everslaughed for the sake of such a man' as James K. Polk ; and, very disin terestedly suggested the withdrawal of the latter from the presidenti.il ticket. In be half of the former, and, ue doubt there were many unsophisticated Democrats who were in sympathy with these h po litical professions, just as there may be new, iu roferenco te the withdrawal of Gov. Cleveland. The object then, was the same as that which dominates the suggestion note. The adversaries of Gov. Cleveland are mero solicitous about Bayard and Thnrman, and Flewer and Butler, than they are about their own "Plumed Knight." If they are se anxious about the welfare of the Jetnocratie party ami its relations te the presperity of the ceuu. try, why don't they withdraw Blaine, and substitute ene of the above illtreated men instead? They probably contemplated a corner in "bloody shirts," that new cauuet be made available, henea their crocedilj sympathy with the Democratic masses. One would suppese that such lumini as the New 1 erk Sun, Jehn Kelly, and Tammany ought te be able te sce the pith of this " wondrous interest for a stran ger." When will Damecrats Iearn te knew that the party's legally expressed trill cannot be tot aside te please the party's enemies ? This "belittlcing process Triueii hiui be bo be ceme be fashienable in modern political canvasslnz when discussinc the merits of opposing candidates, may altvayu be taken as a pretty sura sign et the personal weak ness In the candidates of theso who resort te it as a weapon of aggression or deience. The fact that Grever Cleveland wag elected governor of the most populous Ptate in tl.e Cnien by such an overwhelming majority a majority greater than had ever been cast for any governor since the foundation of the Ameriean Union, was anything but dotirable te the Republican party, and when it became unalterably manifest it immediately east about for means te break the force of sueh a popular nomination ; and its first efforts were spent In the bo be httleing process of assailing private char actor. Taking it for granted that this had wrought its damaging effect, it affected te see mero worthy candidates in theso it felt confident it could mero easily defeat, and hypocritically began te suggest the with drawal of a name that bad been endorsed by a conventional acclamation. It was praotieally an attempt te ignore the Domo Demo Dome cratio convention by making the nomina tions itself ; and making them, of course, it would seek its opponents among theso it deemed the weakest .1 false decoyieg bait, at which, psrehance, a few Demo cratic gudgoeus may "nibble or bite." Admitting for tbe sake of illustration that Governer Cievelend is, symbolically, only a hiokery scavenging brush, he will be mero efficient in cleaning out the sinks and sewers of fraud aud corruption than such service could ba accomplished by the most elaborately wtenizht hair or teeth brush. Admitting even, en the same premises, that he is a thief ; tbieves have bctu tbe most oflieleut instruments iu catching thieves, from tbe times of Jena than Wild down te the present day. We knew he is net au angel : nor is it neccs sary that he should be, iu dealing with the administrative elements of the govern ment in its present ambiguous condition. It will yet be a long time before an angelic man is needed for president of theso United States. Again, te these who have beeu voters for the past fifty years, it is something re frcsbingly new te find the party that has always been antsgonistie te tbe Demoeratio party of the country manifesting any kind of political sympathy for the Irish man. If Irishmen are decoyed into tbe support of the Republican candidates through such sympathetic sophistrics,they cannot possess that honest quickness of wit, which has heretofore been se fitely accerutu tnem. Any nenest Irish laberer, meobanie, mercbant, farmer or profes sional mau, must certainly bee that he has nover been able te acquire anything for which he has net been required te render an equivalent, no matter what system of tax or tariff prevailed ; and he must also have seen that all exoise laws affect all who live under them alike ; se that no Bet of men under a republican government can possibly enact oppressive laws that wilt net equally oppress themselves j and yet the Hepublleau twaddle about eppres slve or anti tariff laws are presented in such a way as te Ieave the Impression that tbe Domecratio party proposes laws that mourn rum me uustness interests of the country, just as if they could ruin their oeuutry without ruining themselves. Ann tney expect tbe Irish masses te shut their eyes and swallow thU twaddle by voting for Blaine and Legan. About every twenty years a great business and financial crisis has occurred in this coun try ever since the foundation of the United States government, with partial Intermo Interme Intermo diate disruptions. We have lived through half a dozen of these financial events, and it would be safe te say that net oae of them was ever said te be brought abeu through tariff laws. It was always attri buted te overtrading, reckless speculation, iudividual profligacy and intensified by offleial thieving. Tariffs de, doubtless, some times effect busiuers interests, but these Interesta are diverse, seattered ever the entire country, and never can become strictly party measures.

The lcisure hoursef today, when our campaign is ended and we wait only for the elcotieu, gives me the opportunity for this prompt reply and for the following esseutial de tnils : At Georgetown, Kentucky, in the uprin of 1343, Vihcn l was but 18 ynars of age, I first met the lad v who for mero than tbirt v reur years has been my wife. Our acquaint ance resulted, at the end of six meuthr, iu an engagement, which, without the pros pect of speed marriage, v,e Laturallj later, iu the firing of 1850 when 1 waa maturing phus te leave my profession u Kentucky aud establish myself elt-cwhere, 1 was suddenly tummeued te PoniiEjl PeniiEjl vania by the death of my fa'her.
