We had a glorious feast yesterday upon
For.ie of the largest and most delicious oysters
of the season, procured at Joseph T. Walton's
. saloon. Joe lias located himself in the build
ing, next d,or lelov the Washington Hotel,
down town, which lie has fitted up very neatly,
-and where he will dispense the bivalves in any
style demanded by et'tomers. He is also pre
pared to supply families with fresh oysters in
any quantity. Joe is determined, to keep his
saloon right, and a taste of his raws, stews or
fries, is well worth a walk from one end of the
town to the other, with the price in the bargain.
The Democrat think it "very strange," that
we should predict that Peace would come to
the country in ca.-e of Grant's election, and
profess not to believe in our foresight. The
J )n:u,c-at prophesied a victory for its party at
the late election. Its effort, however, was a
prodigious failure. We prophesied a Repub
lican victory, and the jK-'ople bustained the pre
diction handsomely. Let us wait and see if we
are not again right, in the prediction that the
election of Grant will le speedily followed bv
a happy and permanent peace.
tT Our neighbor entertains so perfect a ha
tred towards Gen. Grant for having threshed
his Southern Democratic friends into obedi
ence to the law, and Ucause he is going to
thresh the Northern Rebel on Tuesday, that
be will not even accord him his legitimate
privilege of having his name begin with a
capital G. Well, in every jotato hill there
arc big potatoes and little jotatocs, and if
there is a smaller potato in the Ik-mocratic
hill than is our neighbor, this contemptible act
M Ins is certainly not the evidence of it.
SisOT In Luzerne County, the Commissioners
liad the tally lists for theeI?ction boards print
od with tlw? names of the Electors of both par
ties on thenx. This would be a great conven
ience. The Clerk of the Commissioners, who
suionntended the printing, however, is a Dcm
ocrat of tbeeofjee-pot Wallace pursuasion, and,
doubtless, in pursuance of the Democratic plan
l..wl 11 j! "t . -
ji.ni me names oi aii me uemocratic Elector
correctly printed, and the names of half a doz
en of the Republican electors printed wrong.
Inn wa.5 a trick we never should have looked
lor in Moubcn Jenkins, and nothing but his
Democracy could have prompted him to be
.guilty of it. J-.ut. reader, it shows to what
length even rest ect able Democrats can be
compelled by the party to go, to defraud th
-will of the people.
'Ac arce with the World that the
Democrats would act wisely, even at this
iate day, ia adoptm other caudtdates ia-
ttead cc .Seymour and lilair ; and we think
a differcvX platform is also desirable.
We sujrgesi to them Grant and Colfax as
splendid names, and the Chicago plat
jorci as a very fair declaration of princi
ples. To suected by such a chaugo as
this would be better than to fail by gtick
ti to the dead carcass.
The early vote h the surest vote.
Sxs? Lat neck's. Democrat contained an ar
ticle from the Allentown Democrat, and head
ed "Fellow Citizens, Read," which, for unblush
ing mendacitv and falsehood can hardly be
leaten. And our neighlor lauds the spirit of
the article, and draws upon hi religious nensi
bilitics for inspiration to assist him in denoun
cing and belittling men, and impugning the
standing of church members, merely lu-ratise
a knavish political eoteinporary chores to lie
almut them. The fact is, the article was gotten
tip to produce a counter-current against the
charge of fraudulent naturalization paicrs, so
patly listened upon the IVmmeracy of Phila
delphia, and elsewhere throughout the State.
and it mattered but little, either to our reli
gious ncighW, or bis equally virtuous cotcni
porary of Allentown, what means were employ
cd to secure the end. Mr. Chairman Coffce
l)t Wallace invented the fraudulent plan of in
creasing the Democratic vote of the State, but,
owin to the watchfulness of Republicans, in
attempting to carry out the plan Democrats
were caught at it; and to prevent the stigma
of the fraud from totally smothering the party,
honest men of Lehigh County, who were in
Philadelphia for purposes of legitimate natu
ralization, were arrested, and the charge of
fraudulent purpose attempted to be fastened
upon them. Put the scheme failed. The Le
high County men, to the satisfaction of the
(mrts, proTcd their right to papers, and pa
ers were grafted them, and they wre honora
bly discharged. This is the simple truth of
the matter, as proclaimed by tht Philadelphia
Daily JNVfr, an unrelenting organ of the De
mocracy, and clearly established by the follow
ing from the Iehigh J2yiter, published at the
home of the men whose rights were outraged
br their arrest and detention :
IsFAMoi a Oir:tA(;K. Last week a number
of men from this county went to Philadelphia,
for the pnnnue of procuring naturalization pa
lmers. They were followed by a beautiful ppe-
ci man of the brute creation from I atusauqua,
known as Jo. Hunter, Justice Hunter, who pro
cured Rome of Alderman McMullen k cutthroat
to arrest them on some pretence, and while they
wen- in rharce of those who pretended to leof-
l fn-ers, they were beaten and abused in u shame
ful manner.
The bloodhound also undertook to connect
the name of James W. Fuller, of Catasauuua,
with the party arrested, and even telegraphed
home that Mr. Fuller was arrested, when the
fact is he was not with the party at all and had
nothing to do with them. The men arrested
were all entitled to their pajerH and they got
them. Beside, they were honorably discharg
ed bv the Court.
SQ-Our neighbor said, last week, that "New
"York and Raltimore were emptied of all the
"purchasable Carey Whites, Eowdic, Pick-
" pockets and miscreants in order to neutralize
"the Democratic majority in Philadelphia."
If our neighbor bad used the word "utilize,1
iitt-tead of the word "neutralize," we would not
feel much inclined to question his assertion.
According to excellent authority, there was nei
ther a murder, nor a ught, and not even a pock
et picked in New York and Raltimore, on the
second Tuesday of October, while it is noto
rious that the Democratic wards of Thilade'
phia were filled w 1th suspicious looking stran
gers on that day, and that the Democrat i
vote of the city was increased amasingly. Rut
how about "the purchasable Carey Whites" of
those cities. They must be conixscd of ma
tcrial different from that which forms the
make-up of our Carey White. None kno
better, hereabouts, than the Democratic leaden
that our Carey is incorruptible and unpureha
sable. They have offered him tobacco, lager,
whiskey straight, provisions, clothing, money
in large as well as small quantities, and they
only kuow what all besides, as an inducement
to vote for their eandidatec, but our Carey al
ways sticks to his first love and votes the solii
Republican ticket. Indeed, we doubt not but
that a phrenological examination of the humps
of the Democrats, our neighbor included, who
do not like our Carey, because he will not be
bought, and of Carey himself, would establish
the truth of the proposition, that, in pureha
sing, time could be saved and an easier bargain
secured by approaching the former than by
attempting the latter. The Carey Whites to
which our neighlior alludes must be the Demo
cratic Careys the kind who can be Iwught
and sold like sheep upon the shambles. Our
Carey don't lelong to that kind.
5?" The Monroe Democrat of hist week,
having nothing in shaie of Rebel victories to
crow over, for his own amusement, and the
amusement of his fellow frost-bitten Democrats,
devotes a conspicuous jxtrtion of the pajer to
a parade of his friends in confederate grey.
To the right of the column stands in running
ixtsition the Editor himself, with bundle on
back and staff in hand, ready to skedaddle, in
case the company should conclude to shoot.
Next to him comes a friend, who within the
limits of Canada, during the war preserved
himself and uniform from harm, and now
stands arrayed in all the pomp and cireum
stance of glorious peace. Next atands one who
in eace waa a soldier, and in war a peace
man, and whose uniform, showing good prcser
vation, though a little out of date as to style,
enable him to stand as the Captain of the
squad. Next to him comes Wade Hampton
with rifle poised, and in exact position ax he
was when he told his confederate brethren at
Lull Run to do a he did, and shot down a Un
ion officer in cold blood. La.-t, on the extreme
left of the column, stands a twin brother in De
mocracy of the Editor one of the fallen an
gels of the party, and a fit representative of its
principles and its prospects. The parade is a
most telling show, and it is most appropriate
ly illuminated with deunciations of the people
for having voted as freemen khould rote, in
condemnation of a party whose bad deeds made
" Bondholders," "Military Det.oibW and
"Negro equality" as Democracy talis them,
necessary for the safety of the Country. Such
parades are instructive to the iteople. Will
our neighbor give us a few more of them?
J. ne lvauicais, m i'liuauclplna, says
the Monroe Jfcmon-ut, "polled between 4,000
and 5,000 illegal vote," and thus is the severe
beating received by the Democracy, on the 13th,
attempted to be accounted for. If Truth's
sides dou't ache under such outlandish stretch
ing of its fair proportions, we arc greatly de
ceived. In a contest -investigation now going
on in Philadelphia, the Republican contestant
has already proven the giving and receiving of
1,018 illegal Democratic votes, with but eleven
division, or fragments of wards, examined.
while not a single uaiuiiiient Jiepublicau vote
has beee shown to have leen received. Does
this look as thoiieh the State had bern carried
bv "Radical fraud V
r - r
tThc Dt'uuKixtt published, lust week, a
comparative list of prices, showing the differ
ence between the prices of the several article
named now, and what they were before the war.
The list only contains those articles which are
consumed by our farmers, mechanics and lal)or
ers. It was not convenient, as it was not con
genial, for our neighbor, however, to make his
list complete by giving the prices of articles
produced bv these several classes. That would
have shown that the per centage of rise was al
together in favor of the latter. Nor did he
think it worth while to even hint at the stub
born truth, that the necessity for the extraordi
nary excnditurcB which requires high tariffs
and high taxes to meet them, was caused by
the IX-mocratic war, waged for the destruction
of the government. Our nighbor'a sole object
was to make and retain votes for hit party.
The fair, open truth would not help hirn any.
hence his resort to the disreputable plan of
falsehood by insinuation.
EsST Since the Election of the 13th inaU the
Democracy have been in a terrible fret. They
were badlv beaten; to badlv that they could
hardly contain themselves. To right th mat
ter a little, give them a chane to shirk the
responsibility of bets they had made on the r
sult in November, and let the weight of a
"dead beat" fall lesa heavily upon them, the
M'orl'i, and other leading papera suggested the
propriety of dropping th old candidates and
freezing fast to new ones. To this, however,
the masses of the party demur; and they are
right. The time is too khort in which to ena
able them to learn to believe the thousand and
one lien which would have to be invented in
favor of their candidates ; and besides, the peo
pie have already decided that Grant shall oc
cupy the White House, and Colfax preside
over the Senate. Of what good will a change
of candidates be then.

A gentleman who lately passed through
ndcrsooville, Ceorgia, upon a train with
accompany ot United Mates soldiers,
writes us: "The train stopped a few
minutes, and I went forward through the
cars the men were m : and oh I now 1
wished that Seymour could have heard
the expression of these soldiers of live
years ! There before us, on the sun burnt
hill, was the prison pen, and each plank
of its black stockade seemed to grin at us
and say, 'My time may yet come again !'
I should like to see a picture of that
stoekade, and on the left tho United
States Cemetery, with tht . Stars and
Stripe flying over the poor boys graves.
I believe it would clinch the nail in the
political coffin of Seymour and Dlair."
The Mobile Register exhorts its dii
ciplcs te deal with the white Republicans

should be treated as dogs, dogs only to
lerated now because the power of the
word is in the hands of our enemies in
Congress, but will not be tolerated one
hoar after the people recover the liberty
to do justice upon their oppressors. It is
the duty of every Southern man to cat
these vermin. Excommunicate them

pariahs, with whom it is disgraceful to
hold social intercourse.
SOT' Returns from three-fourths of all

Gen. Grant makes this commentary on
the Camilla massacre :
"Charley, should the people make me

assured that all men will be permitted to
peak their honest convictions, wherever

In the year which is now drawing to its
end the arts, the skill of the labor of the
people of the United States, have been
employed with greater diligence and vig
or and in broader fields than ever before.
and the fruits of the earth have been
gathered into the granery and the store
house in marvelous abundance. Our
highways have been lengthened and new
and proline regions have been occupied
We are permitted to hope that the long
protracted political and sectioual dissen-
mods are at no distant, uay to give puce
to returning haruiouy aud fraternal af
fection throughout tho Republic. Many
foreign States have entered into liberal
agreements, with us, while nations which
arc far off and which herefore have becu
unsocial and exclusive have become our
frieuds. The annual period of rest which
wo have readied in health and tranquiu
ty, which is crowned with so many bless
ings, is by universal consent a convenient
and suitable one for cultivating personal
piety and practicing public devotion. I,
therefore, recommend that Thursday, the
2Gth day of November next, be set apart
and observed by all the people of the
Uuitcd States, as a Jay of public praise,
thanksgiving and prayer, to the Al
mighty Creator and Divine Rular of the
universe, by whoae ever watchful, merci
ful and gracious Providence alone, states
and nations, no less than families and in

The Destruction by the Earthquake-No'
Deiimte Estimation of the Loss.
San Francisco, Oct. 23. Details of the
destruction of property io the interior of
the States by the earthquake of October
21 have been received here. Alameda
county suflcrcd the most, the damage to
property extending in all directions. Back
of San Leandor there were numerous fis
sures in the earth, from some of which
came clouds of dust and from others vol
umes of water. San Lcandro creek, dry
for months, is now a rapidly running
stream. From some places hot water and
steam gushed forth. The villages of San
Leandro and Hay ward are almost in ruins.
The brick buildings are all down or un
inhabitable, and numerous wooden s'rac
tures are much damaged. At Hayward
only one brick building remains uninjercd.
At Alameda, Rrooklin, and Orleaus all
suffered severely. The destruction cl
property at Sau Jose aud Rrashear City
is great. Ihe IJrick and adobe house oi
the Mitsiou of San Joee is a mass of ruin.
At Stockton and Marysville the injury
to buildings was slight. Petoluma,
llealthsburg, Santa Rosa, Vallejo and
Martinez felt the full force of the shock :
chimneys and fire-walls were thrown down
and much damage was doue to property.
The loss is considerable afr Lo3 Angelos.
At Visalia the shock was slight and no
damage was done. Santa Cruz, Monterey
and Watsonvillc suffered little loss.
In the state of Nevada the earthquake
was scarcely felt.
The San Francisco Committee of Arch
itects, appointed by the Doard fo Super
intendents, report the City Hall unsafe,
and it will have to be taken down. Mean
while, the City officials and courts will
find other quarters. The other City
buildings are uninjured to any great ex
tent. The school bouses are not much dam
aged, and the schools will open a usual
on Monday next. The United States
Marine Hospital is condemned by the
proper authorities, and will be demolished.
The patients are at present encamped on
the grounds adjoining the hospital. No
proper accommodations are yet provided
for thctn.
The Custom House is wrecked to such
an extent that probably it will not be oc
cupied again. The officials have removed
temporauly to lleywood s jJuildin, ou
California street.
An army of laborers is at work to-day
on the shattered buildings and removing
the debris from the streets, the merchants
showing no disposition to abandon their
property or the location. Some of the
structures arc being taken down, and
others repaired. The vicinity of the
wrecked buildiugs is a busy scene.
The shock that occurred at 2.15 this
morning caused additional damage to the
injured buildings. Some chimneys cf
the different manufactories which suffered
considerably by the first &hock will now
have to be demolished and rebuilt.
No definite estimate of the damage to
property can be made until a poper
survey of the eutire city is made. Some
persons estimate the loss at ?"00,000, and
others as high as $3,000,000. The latter
figures is probably nearest the true los.
A number of buildings will have to be
torn down, reconstructed, or expensive
repairs made.
San Franoisco, Oct. 21. No more
shocks have been felt since yesterday
morning, and the excitement has subsid
cd. The value of real estate is apparently
unaffected by the disaster, and men enter
into contracts with as little hesitation as
ever.
San Francisco. Oct. 25. Several slight
shocks of earthquake have occurred since
midnight. Oue at cOd a. M. was of con
siderable duration, and occasioned soma
alarm.
"The Louisiana Tigers" were a famous
regiment in the Rebel army from first
Hull Run until nearly annihilated in a
desperate charge on the Union lines at
Gettysburg. In a work by a member of
that organization, who was wounded and
captured in that charge, the incitements
to Lee's wild advance into Pennsylvania
arc thus set forth :
"Our officers had been assured that
the Northern party opposed to the war
would rally such force against the draft
in New-York, Philadelphia, and Ralti
more as to cause a serious diversion iu
our favor, and crown with success our
glorious cause.
"It was currently reported and fully
believed through all the army of Gen.
Ece that Mr. allandigham and other
leading Democrats of Ohio, New-York and
Pennsylvaina, bad arranged a plaiu by
which risings and riotous meetings should
be inaugurated on the 4th of July in all
the great Northern cities. The scheme
failed, except in New-York, and thero it
cave so late as to be of no avail in our
behalf at the Gettysburg battle."

The World has two ways of accent
ing for the overthrow of its party on the"
13th ult. One is by "the prestige of
Gen. Grant" and the other by "the per
versions of Gen. Rlair's position." If
neither had been nominated The World
thinks the result might have been differ
ent, "llcory," said old Mr. Ikecherono

"would you have been you ?"
Mr. Frank Rlair announces himself

one seeks to deprive any "colored person
of any civil right, privilege, or '""uuiiiuuity,
enjoyed by any other person."
