THE EARTHQUAKE YEAR.
'rhe year 1863 has- been marked by a
greater disturbance of the crust of the earth
than any It„ , erti within the century, and it will
stand out as memorable, in this respect for
many years to come, unless, inde - k; the the
ories of the Adventists and other destruction-
•
Isis prove tree, and each sucecedhig year
shall show still more violent agitations and
eruptions until the final catastrophe sha
rome. There have been earthquakes in the
Sandwich. !Islands, in California, in South
America, in New Jersey, in England, Ire
land, in Africa, and iu Turkey. .:11te--con
iertnrc is, in England, that the Icelandic
Volcanoes are also in full blast. We may yet
hear of simultaneous volcanic actions in
1(
other parts of the For l l, not reached by the
talcgrnpll
What is the meanipg of all this? - Is-there
, onic mysterious increase in the 'activity of
the central fires of the earth, which is slowly
melting the concave side of the crust upon
which we liVe and move and have our being,
rendering it daily thinner and frailer? Or
the bottom of the Pacific Ocean leaking
cud letting down a• flood of salt sea water
into the central cavities, to be there convert
ed into steam for the bursting of the solid
shell of the earth? Or are the Adventists,
and Millerites and Mornions right, after all,
in saying that these are the signs of the last
days, when the earth shall be destroyed- by
firb, and the heavens be rolled together as a
scroll? . .
Goy. flvinv has issued the usual procla
mation announcing the members of Congress
elected, in which he includes the names of
Moffat and Reading, the. two Democrats in
Philadelphia, whom it was proposed for a
thne,to exclude from their seats. In regard
hi-the Twenty-first district, composed of the
mmties of Indiana, Westmoreland and Fay-
cute, be says no such returns of elections
have been received by the Secretary of the
Cinrunonwealth :IS would, under the election
laws, anthorire him to proclaim the name of
any person as having been returned and
Maly elected. Two separate certificates, one
certifying Hon. John Covode to be elected,
and the other certifyiag Henry D. Foster to
be elected, have been issued ; hence - the
Governor has thrown the respoNiibility of
deckling the race upon the Forty-first Con
gress, whose decision it will be easy to con
jecture, Mr. Foster has a majority of the
- votes, hut Covode set up charges of "fraud,"
and induced one of the election officers to
refuse his signature to the certificate signet
by the two other members of the hoard. Co
code's plea is that more vott., were cast in
one district than it is entitttt, the base:
lessness of whieli is seen in the fart that the
poll - ert.st in November does not vary hay a
, loten front that cast in October.
Ttrc rruirc have not forgotten the fuss ,
that Was made about illegal naturalization
paperE in Philadelphia before the election.
It was claimed that tko.se is.sued by the Su
preme Court should not be received, anti an
imbecile Judge of that body was found will
ing to pervert his office to the disgraceful end
of promoting party objects. A test case was .
made up, and here is the.result, as• related
by the Philadelphia Age:
"On the :34.1 of November, Patrick Mull
hone, who had been naturalized by the Su
preme Court in October, voted at one of the
precincts in this city. The Radical Inspec
tor, acting upon the Read proclamation, or
ered a police officer to arrest him for illegal
voting, which was done. The case was re
cently heard before Judge Ludlow on a writ
of habeas corpus, who decided that the seal
of the Supreme Court was conclusive on the
officers, and discharged the prisoner. This
is a prompt and proper vindication of the
elective franchise, and shows Judge Ludlow
to be a lawyer, and not a sensational
qan on the bench." • ,k parti

As Tur. following appears in the corres:

ten thousand majority, but I'll be d—d if he
got my vote I" The General, himself roared
with langhterat the reply. Mr. Dentis just
ly proud dr Democracy."
TIIE CITY OF NEW TOME
The Radical press, owing to the immense
najority which the city of New York . gives
to the Democratic ticket, have sought to cre
ate the impression that the elections there
arc conducted in a loose and irregular man
ner, and that fraud and villainy are perpe
trated to a greater extent than in any other
place in the United States. Nothing could
be more false. In the first place, while near
ly all of the large cities have been disgraced
by riots upon a large - scale on election day,
which frequently prevented voting, no such
thing ever happened in the great metropolis!
No ballot-boxes have ever been smashed in
New' York as in other cities, and no organ
ized ruffianism has deprived thousands and
tens of thousands of citizens of the elective
franchise as in Beiltimore, in Philadelphia
and Louisville. There elections have always
been exceedingly quiet and peaceful. For
some years the city has been divided into
nearly three hundred election districts, con
taining on the average about five hundred
voters each. In these small districts, consti
tuting only a few blocks, almost every man
is known to the challengers•of the respective
parties. In addition, no man can vole if lie
does not register his name on four certain ap
pointed days. If he is sick on those days, or
absent from the.city, or on account of the
crowd at the registering office in hia district
is unable to register in time, he loses his vote,
and can not swear it in afterward, although
he is knoitn by every one to be a legal voter.
A 4 the same time, the pdlice of the city are
all Republicans, appointed by a commission,
who receive their authority from the Gover
nor, and they watch the polls so closely that
any one who attempted fraud would be ar
rested immediately. ' The election wards, as
in our own States, contain meanbers of both
parties, and each side invariably has its
shrewdest men for challengers and poll com
mittees. Under these severe restrictions, not
only illegal votes are kept out, but many legal
voters are derpived of the privilage of cast
ing their ballots. !Me Democratic majOrity
in New York has, therefore, been pre-emi
nently an honest one, or, - nailer, it has al
ways been less than the real sentiments of
the people. Although the districts are small
—there'being only rmo votes in each, as we
have stated--voting is eitremely slow, in con
sequence of New York requiring several bal
lot-boxes for the different offices, instead of
all the names being upon one ticket, as in
Ohio'and other States, and then put into one
box. When Lincoln was elected, in 1864, it
is believed that, as the polls closed at sun
down in the city, fully 15,000 men, mostly
Democrats, who desired to vote for McClel
lan and Pendleton, were excluded. Since
then More districts have been created, and
better facilities afforded to the people. New
York never has polled any such v to as she
is — entitled to by her vas po lation. It
never exceeded 160,000. i delphia has
nearly reached that number, ith not two
thirds the population, while States like New
Hampshire have approximated to it, with
about one-third of the people. New York
has more than 1,000,000 inhabitants, and in
proportion to Philadelphia, shOuld have
polled one hundred and sixty-five thousand
votes instead of one hundred and fifty-five
thousand. The Democratic Majority in New
York City, for President, is but sixty thou.
stand—one thmisand less than it was last year,
on a greatly increased vote. Does any body
suppose that frauds, about to the same extent,
are perpetrated every year.
OUR FINANCIXL TROUBLES
The extraordinary Stringency in the money
market at this time, both in the East and
West, and the scarcity of currency, the diffi
culty of obtaining it even upon the best of
names, at the most extraordinary-rates of in
terest, show the wisdom of the Democratic
policy which has called for an enlargement
of the circulating medium. Had our sugges
tions been complied with a year ago, we
should have escaped the financial vice in
which the country is now compressed. Hun
dredi and thousands of merchants and other
traders, who are now upon the eve of bank
ruptcy, would have been.in easy circumstan
ces. We should have tided over the diffi
culty which now besets us, and which threat
ens afinancial panic and convulsion.
The great bugbear of the Radicals for the
last year or.two has been that money would
be too plenty. All their fears have been in
that direction, and not in that where the
real danger! laid—in contraction. Contrac
tion is a most expressive word. It is the
word by which we delineate the process by
which the monster serpents crush and de
stroy their - victims. The people have been
in. the folds of a merciless anaconda, which
has gone on gradually tightening thein until
destruction Is imminent. We don't think,
lust at present, that there is any body who
considers that money is too plenty, or fears
that it will be too plentl.
HARPER'S WEERLV.
Tho following paragraph from the New
York Tribune k deserving the especial at
tention of Denmemts In every portion (if the
country :
"When the labors of the canvass come to
Ise measured and valued, if that ever is done,
a large share of the credit of our victory will
have to be given to Mr. Nast, the celebrated
artist. His political cartoons have been the
most effective election documents ever pub
lished m America."
The channel through which these "most
effective election documents" find their -, way
to the pnblic is Harper's Weeklyi--Paper
which has the effrontery to style itself a
"Journal of Civilization," yet fills its col
umns from week to week with appeals - of
bigotry, passion and - prejudice,, such as
might be more properly addressed to the un
derstanding of a Comanche than the culti
vated sense of a Caucasian. The political
pictures designed by Nast are the most
prominent feature of the Weekly, and so
completely 'give the tone to its pages that the
entire sheet may lie fairly said to have be
,
I come a common sewer of political Natt-iness.
No words could have conveyed more malig
nant, infamous, andillsgranethl slanders upon
the larger portion of the Anierican people,
than have been Concentrated in the cartoons
'with which this fellow Nast has disfigured
the paper referred to during the 'late cam
, - -
paien. r We have reason to believe that a
very liberal percentage of the support of .the
Harper's Publications has been drawn from
members oftheDernocratiC party, who have
thus contrasiye(l the means for promulga
ting shyster* on themselves. It is well re
membered,, that' a about the commetteement
of the rebellimak , liMpeed Weekly was filled
with engravings a an entirely oppostte chart
actor; addressed specially to the prejudices of
Southern men. When the war cut off the
publishers from communication with 'their
Southern patronS, they executed a soiner
sault as sudden as any ever accomplished by
the New York Herald, and from that' day
have devoted themselves, with untiring per
severance and marvelous ingenuity,- to the
task of maligning the SOuth and itg people,
and the Dethocracy of the North, by tarns.
It is time that Democrats should assert their
self-respect by expelling the filthy publica
tions of these mercenary Hessians of litera
ture from their homes and business houses,
and 'wherever else their influence extends.
There are several other illustrated papers
which compare-to advantage in literary and
artistic merit with any of the Harpers' pub
lications, and have this important and com
mendable quality, that they seek to amuse
and instruct their readers without slandering
any portion °ahem.
THE fl FILE SEEKING MANIA.
The amts Better of ArternUs Ward, de
scribing his interview with Mr. tincoln soon
after the election of that too-good natured
man, is still in the mind of thr public. Of
fice seekers filled the room, tugging at Lin
coln's coat tails, and thrusting recommenda
tions into his face, Mike seekers poured in
through the window, and sonic particularly
pertinacious individual., unable to force their
way through - these avenues, came tumbling
down the chimney. From the accounts
which reach us from Washington, the scenes
thus caricatured (not very much either) seem
likely to be repeated, with the President
elect, Grant, as the central figure.:. We aro
to have another of those insane quadrennial
scrambles for office which cause European
nations to wonder at and, we fear, to despise
us, and our system of Government.
What is the cause of this - mania? The sal
aries attaching to our govennnental offices
are not large. As a general rule, the force of
character and intellect which enables a man
to secure ofliee would, if directed into the
channels of regular business, secure him much
larger legitimate rewards. And yet we see
men of talent and influence, not only joining
in a humilating scramble for the thousand
and one ottces, at the disposal of the Feder
al Executive, but we see them spending large
sums of money during the campaign, in the
hope of attaining their object.
This fact is strongly suggestive of fraud.
It is not the legitimate rewards of office, we
fear, that prompts the lavish expenditure and
tremendous persistency of politicians to se
cure office; It is that which is mildly termed
"pickings," but which is really "stealings,"
that is the main incentive to these efforts.
There is not a more striking proof of the de
moralization and corruption of our civil ser
vice, than thi4 dkgraceful rush of office-seek
ers which threatens to overwhelm the suc
cessful candidate after a Presidential elec-
ALMOST simultaneous with the earth
quakes on floc American Continent, an erup
tion has broken out in Mount Vesuvius, from
which serious consequences have already
resulted. All the cones of the volcano are
pouring forth quantities of burning matter.
The lava has set whole forests of trees on
fire. Houses, farms and lands are reported
to be overwhelmed and devastated and the
people flying from the villages in the utmost
consternation ; so that an event which a few
days ago appeared to be but a magnificent
spectacle for the curious is likely to prove a
fiend of destruction to the fair fields and
,pleasant homesteads in the vicinity of Na
ples.
The President's Salary.
The proposition is being revived, in view
of Gen. Grant's accession to the Presidency
of the "Jutted States, of increasing the salary
of the office fromits present amount; $.5,000,
to $lOO,OOO or thereabouts. We hope noth
ing of the kind 'will be done, or even seriou
ly considered by Congress.
In the first place, the $25,000 now allowed
by law is not the whole of the money paid by
the nation toward the President's private ex
penses. He has a house free of rent warmed
and kept in repair for hini without charge.
The furniture of the house is also provided,
and in one way or another his servants'
wages are paid, out of the public treasury.
His garden, from which his table to a great
extent is supplied, is °taken care of by a pub
lic gardener. In addition, every little while
extra appropriations are made for special
purposes. 'faking all things together, the
President really receives much nearer $50,-
000 than 25,000:
As a matter of filet, the salary now made
has always proved amply sufficient. Mr.
Fillmore, Mr. Pierce, and Mr. Buchanan made
•handsome savings while in office. Abraham
Lincoln saved some $60,000 out of his four
years' allowance, and J'ohnson will retire
with a nearly equal amount. It can easily
be seen that when nothing is to be met but
marketing bills, keeping a pair of horses, and
the cost of a few entertainments, $25,000 will
go a long way.'—.N. 8”n. •
SENATOR SUM•.:ER is performing a new
role. He has jumped the financial hobby
and declaims with as much assurance on na
tional finance and specie payments as lie has
been. in the habit of doing about the negro.
In a speech delivered at Cambridge, Mass.,
he asserts the "praticability of specie pay
ments on the sth of July next after the inau
guration of General Grant" "Nay, more,"
he says, "it is my conviction; not only that
we can have specie payments at that time,
but that we ought to have them then." His
tory tells us of an old king who planted- his
throne on the ocean beach and commanded
the waves : to come no (artier nor to wet Lis
royal feet. Mr. Sumner's speech abont re
turning to specie payments next July is, as
stupid as the conduct of the king who foelish
ly supposed he could arrest the course of na
ture and stop the waves of the ocean. Specie
payments will come when the laws of trade
decide it shall be so, and not till then. Any
attempt to force them upon the country be
fore it is prepared will result in wide-spread
ruin..

IT Is said to be a fact that nearly all the,

JASPER, TENN., N0V.41, 1808.
The third of November was a beautiful
day, the sun shining out warm and clear,
and not a cloud visible from horizon to
horizon. The polls were to open at ten
o'clock.' Not long before that, a considerable
crowd of various colors had assembled in the
streets, and more were visible coming from
north, east, south and west. Yonder comes
an old, gray-headed white man—in politics
he goes under the genuine name of rebel, for
be sympathized with the Sonth in her futile
struggle. He approaches a little crowd of
disfranchised, and is saluted with, "Well,
Uncle Billy, how are you going to vote?"
This interrogatory was a "goak," for every
one knew that the old man couldn't vote..
But lie answers : "Oh, of course I can't vote
at all, but if I could put one in for Grant, I
would, sure. We want peace. Grant is a
good man, and as a good democrat as I want,
and ha will bd elected. .People !have confi
dence in him. The radicals have disfran
chised me, but if I could, I would vote for
their man."
Here comes an es-federal soldier, looking
mad enough to fight the war over again. To
the question, "Whites the matter, you look
angry I." he replies:
"Matter enough. I can't get a certificate
to vote. I have been trying for a week."
"But you are an honorably discharged Uni
on soldier, nod entitled to one by the law ?"
'Yes, very true,; the law may give me one,
but the commissioner won't. Like a fool, I
went and told some of my friends I that was
going to vote for Seymour, and he has found
it out, and now he won't give me a certifi
cate. lie,says he ain't bound to give certifi
cates only on quarterly,days. But just look
at them negroes coming out of his, office,
with their ballots In one hand and certificates
in the other. If I would vote as they do, of
course I could get one."
"Won't any of the negrocs vote l'or Sey
mour?"
"No, not one. An old (turkey who lines
up in the country , said be would, but I see
him now with a crowd of radicals, anti it's , a
gone case."
•An ex-rebtl soldier is seen going out of
town-.—"Halloo ! ain't you going to stay and
vote ?"
"No, I guess I - won't Vote today."
wonder, for he has not the white piece of pa
per needful.
Here comes a burly "American citizen of
African descent."
"Well, Uncle, ain't you going to vote fbr
Colfax ?" "Colfax ! No, I ain't, l'se going
to vote for Grant. 'Spose I'd vote 'for Col
fax against Grant? No, sir; 1 votes for
Grant every time. I don't know nothing
'bout &a Colfax."
give von a suit of clothes if you will
vote for Colfax."
"No, I won't vote for him for forty suits.
I've said all the time that I would vote for
Grant, and von can't get me 10 vote Mr old
Colfax," and the stubborn gentleman walked
off, evidently under the impression that an'
attempt to get him to vote the rebet ticket
hAs failed. An hour after lie voted for "old
Colfax,"
At precisely ten o'clock the polls °Lien ant,
the'voting commences. The otlicersludges
are all Radicals, for the commissioner of reg
istration appoints them, and he sees by it that
no one but an "out-and-outer" has at} thing
to do with the election. A negro collies in
who has never voted before. lie Vast his
hat under his arm, and acts timid and con
fused. One of the judges motions 'him up,
and hands him a ballot. He takes it with a
nervous grasp, and looks around as if he did
not know what to do with it. "hand it to
that man, there," says one of the judges, and
the voter does so, without ever looking at•it,
and walks out. Had it been a comic song,
or the Sermon upon the Mount, it would
have been all the same to him. A very dark
looking white man comes up, and ¶ants to
.knpw ite is black enough to vote. "Not
qutte; ; said the juages, um the itta,..k whit°
man Laughs. and walks out. A young col
ored man, xoho probably never,exercised the
right of suffrage before; walks up, and asks
for "a paper!' A ballot. is handed im, and
he is told to give it to the man with the ci
gar box. He hands it to the officer "with
the cigar box,' who proclaim—"Wni. Smith
—voted."
"What did you say, sir?' said Will.
"Oh, I just told - the clerk your name ; you
can go now." ; •
Out yonder is a grodp—a disfranchised
white man and an enfranchised black man.
The white malt is trying to get his 'African
brother to vote for Seymour. Listen : "You
know the rebels are just as_ good friends as
volt have got ; now come." -
"No, that ain't no use talking. I aitet.go
ing to vote for old Stitimore, and have my
name sent up td Washington city in ever
lasting disgracement. I votes for Mr. Grant
every time." -
The white man goes off 'in quest of softer
material, and the black man goes to the polls
and votes for "Mr. Grunt."
Says an ex-rebel captain to me ; "Do you
see that black boy 'over there? He was
raised by me, and is one of the best servants
I ever had. He was in the war With me
from first to last, and accompanied me home
after the surrender. •Illauystimes when our
regiment would go into battle, be would take
a gun and go along by my side. But lately
he got into the league, and now • votes the
straight Radical ticket. I asked him if he
wanted to come to the election; he said that
he did, and I 'told him to come. I; have
never saki a word to him as to how he in
tended to vote. Two'other negroes on my •
place said they didn't want to come, and
could make better by staving at home. I
told them they were sensible, and fiat's all
I have ever said about politics to any of the
negroes upon my place. I would tan influ
ence their vote if I , could."
Here comes a crowd of the newlAenfran
chised from' the commissioner's Oka Each
one holds a ballot in one hand, and iccertiti
cate in the other, so as not to get' them
"mixed." Let's follow them opt and see if
any there be who!will vote for Salaam.. No,
they all seem to jhave Grant baffitts. They
walk up to the ballot-box and hand in their
ballots one by one. :There! That tall, black
man is certainly to vdte the Demo
cratic!ticket ; he stuffs the Grant tielLet in his
pocket, and hands a closely foldedtpieve of
paper to the officer, and into the ballot-box
it goes.
"Why, Bill, you yote l l your 'stiticate,"sAys
one of the crowd.
"No, here's my 'certificate," say s Bill, pull
ing the ballot out of his pocket.!
"No, that's your ticket," says the officer,
who puts his long, Amide! . finger into the
ballot-hoe and"grapples" out the certicicate
and puts in the ballot.
,"You'd better bold on to your 'stifle:oe,
you may need it again," SUN'S a fellow-Afri
can, as he comes near making the'same mis
take himself,
- "No b you Won't," says a sour-booking union
man, who was a union man during thl war,
but who now is so much of a Seymour man
that he can't get a certiticate,"no, you won't,
for You are black enough to vote withoutlit."
What's that loud • talking about thiwn

- I,IEiIALF.S, owing to the peculiar and impor•
taut relations which they sustain, timir pe
culiar organization, and the offices they per
form, are subject to many sufferings. Ffeedom
from these contribute in no small degree to
their happiness and welfare, for none can be
happy who are ill. Not only so, but no one of
these various female complaints can long he"
suffered to run on without involvitm the gener
al health of the:individual, and ere long protiu
clog permanent sickness and, premature de
cline. Nor isJt pleasant to consult. a physician
for the relief of these various delicate affections.
and only upon the most urgent necessity will a
true woman so far sacrifice her greatest charm
as to do this. The sex will then thank us for
placing in their hands simple specifies which
will be found eflicaeious in relit.% ing and curing
almost every one of those troublesome com
plaints peculiar to the sex.
11,1.11110LWS EXTRACT OF Brciir.—lfundreds
suffer on In silence, and hundreds of others ap
ply vainly to druggists andfloctOrs, who either
merely tantalize them with the hope of a cure
or apply remedies which make them-worse. I
would nut wish to assert anything that would
do injustice to the afflicted, but I am obliged to
say that although it may be produced front ex
cessive exhaustion of the powers of life,.'by la
borious employment, unwholesome air and
food, profuse menstruation, the use of tea and
coffee, and frequent childbirth, It is far oftener
caused by directirritat ion, applied to the tun
eons membrane of the vagina itself.
When reviewing the causes of these distress
ing complaints, It is most painful to contem
plate the attendant evils consequent upon
them. It is but simple justice to the subject to
enumerate a few pf the litany additional causes
which so largely affect the life, health and hap
piness of woman in all classes of society and
which, consequently, affect more or less direct
ly, the welfare of the entire human family. The
mania that exists for precocious education and
marriage, causes the years that nature designed
for corporeal development to be wasted and
perverted in the restraints of dress, Ithe early
confinement of school, and especially In the un
healthy excitement of the ball-rooM. Thus,
with the body half-clothed, and the mind un
duly excited by pleasure, perverting In mid
night revel the hours designed by nature for
sleep and rest, the work of destruction is half
accomplished.
In consequence of this early strain upon her
system, unnecessary effort is requtred by the
delicate votary to retain her situation in school
at a later day, thus aggravating the evil. When
one excitement Is over, another in prospective
keeps the mind morbidly sensitive to linpres
sion, while the note constant restraint of lash
ion:tide dress, absolutely forbidding the exer
cise indispensable to the attainmenraml reten
tion of orminic health and strength; the expo
sure to night air; the sadden change of temper
ature; the complete prostration produced by
excessive dancing. must of necessity produce
their le,gitienate eflect. At last, au early mar
riage caps the climax of misery, and the unfor
tunate one, hitherto so utterly regardless of the
plain dictates and remonstrances of herdelicate
nature, becomes an unwilling subject of medi
cal treatment. This is but a truthful picture of
the experience of t Innis:lnds of our young wo
men.
Long before the ability to exercise the tune
t lons of the generative organs, they require an
education of their peculiar nervous system,
composed of - what is called the tissue, which Is,
in common. with the female breast and lips, ev
ident ly under the control of mental emotions
and assoehitions at an early period of life; and,
as we'sh ali subsequently see, these Gtnot ions,
when excessive, lead, long before puberty, to
habits which sap the ery 11 fe of their vletims
