WASHINGTON. Predilections of the President To- wards the Presiden- — tial Nominees, Fears Entertained by the Democracy that He Favors Grant. The Alabama Legislative Com- mittee at the White House. Satisfactory Reply of the President to Their Request for Troops. Gon. Howard’s Views on Mien and ‘Things in the South. WASHINGTON, Sept. 29, 1888. ‘The Forthcoming Public Debt Statement. ‘The public debt statement for September will prob- ably be issued next Monday, Judging from present information It will show a slight Increase over that In the previous monthly statement. Discouragement of the Democracy—The Presi- deni’s Presidential Preferences. Within the past two or three weeks a remarkable want of faith in the success of the democratic ticket in the November election, and a general lukewarm- ness of the democrats In their cause, have been ob- served here. Men who spoke of the election of Sey- miour and Blair a few weeks ago as a matter 80 clear as not to admit of a doubt now show a dispo- sition to take shares in the other concern. The de- fection of a number of prominent individuals from the democratic cause has given rise to considerable gossip. Rumor has been busy in these latter days and has taken liberties with the political views of men occupying exalted official positions, In times ke the present, when the opinions of leading men become of importance in adding to or subtracting from the weight of influence cast for either party, a great dealin regard to men’s views finds its way to the public in spite of all efforts for their concealment, and Madame Rumor may whisper @wong her many absurdities a good many facts, Now, it has been rumored that the adherents of Sey- mour and Blair do not mect with the sympathy and hearty co-operation at the White Hougo that they believe they have a right toexpect. It has trans pired that on one or two occasions quite recently certain managing democrats, who visited the Presi- Gent to enlist his aid in getting up diversions in favor of the democracy, have gone away with their tempers unduly acidulated; that their mutterings about apostacy, sotto voce of course, for it is a miat- ter they do not feel themselves warranted in men- toning publicly, were deep thongh silent. In short, Mt is said that, although the President permits it td be generally understood that his sympathies are with the democracy, he takes very good care that his ac- Uons are not open to the same construction, There are those in this city who speak with the greatest confidence concerning the real political bias of President Johnson, and they assert that he will do nothing to aid in the election of the democratic nomi- nees, while he has done much to further the interests of Grant and Colfax. Asacase in point they refer to the President’s action in favor of the Tennessee Legislative Committee, They assert that he not oniy cheerfully promised the military aid requested, but he conversed with them on the political agairs of their State in such an agreeable way that the committee were puzzled to imagine how the Presh dent ever obtained the reputation of being such a thorough.paced democrat, This, too, is sald to be the reason why members of the press were so rigidly excluded from the interview, and why the commit- tee were cautioned not to divulge what tranapired therein, The Alabama Gommittee encountered quite as cordial a reception as their predeces- sors, and they, too, came away with an elation of spirite such as is likely to be inspired by a secret comfort, It would be singular if after all that has been said the President should be found among the sopporters of Grant, im company with Seward, Evarts and Schofield. The Conference of the Alabama Legislative Committee with the President. ‘The Alabama Legisiative Committee had an inter- view with the President by appoinment this morn- ing, at which the Secretary of War was present. ‘The President acceded fully to the demands of the committee, which were in effect that the federal power would aid the civil authorities in suppressing disorder and in sustaining the authority of the civil government of the State. It is not true that the committee have received dispatches from Alabama since their arrival leading them to ask that a regi- Ment be sent to Alabama in addition to the troops already there. The committee and the President agree that General Meade has sufficient force to meet the present wants and the committee are satisfed with the assurance that should future exigencies require more troops they will be promptly furnished. The Secretary of War, with the approval of the President, is preparing a letter to General Meade, in which the memorial of the Alabama Legislature is referred to him, and in which he is directed to take sach measures as may [be necessary to prevent the troubles apprehended by the Legisiature by a prompt end proper disposition of his troops. Governor Smith has no doubt his veto of the bill authorizing the election of Presidential electors by the Legislature will be sustained, and has no doubt the Legislature will pass measures necessary to enable the people to vote for Presidential electors. ‘The civil authorities, supported by the President's assurances and the promised letter from the tary of War, will be able to control unruly ele ats and secure 4 peaceful election. The letter of the Secretary of War will be delivered to the committee at ten o'clock to-morrow, when they will depart for Montgomery via Atlanta, in order to deliver thelr Jetier to General Meade, Relief of Louisiana Planters. An order of the Freedman's Bureau, issued at New Orieans September 24, says:—With a view to relieve the planter who so desires, and to avoid the aity of his obtaining advances from a factor to liqui- date his indebtedness to the Bureau and to secure the freedmen for advances and labor, he will be re- Gnired to ship a sumMicient amount of his crop to the bureau at New Orleans to cover the same, the amount #0 shipped to be forwarded as soon as it is put into marketable condition. Any amount In ex- cess of his indebtedness will be sold to the best ad- vantage and the proceeds held subject to the ship- per'’s order. Until they can realize from their crops supplies will continue to be advanced by the commis- sary of the bureau. Investigation of the Camilla Riot. General Sibiey, Assistant Commissioner of Freed- men’s Affairs in Georgia, has detalied Captain Wm. Mills, Sixteenth United States infantry, to investigate the circumstances connected with the late riot at Camilia and report to General Sibley. Progress of the Indian War. Yrom information which has just been received here concerning the instructions to General Sheri- dan, it is believed that he will within the next two weeks make such @ movement against the hostile Indians on the frontier as to put an end to the appre- hensions of a general Indian war. Meeting of the Indian Peace Commissions, ‘The Indian Peace Commissions will meet at Chi- cago, Ili, on the 7th of Uctober next to wind up their affairs and make @ final report. Delmar’s Exposition of National Finances, ‘The exposition of the condition of the national Mnances by Director Delmar, of the Bureau of Statis- tes, has created considerable of a stir among the ‘Treasury oMictais, most of whom treat the statements of the Director as a hnge joke. It had been report- ed and was telegraphed to several newspapers that Secretary McCulloch repudiated the whole statistical budget; bnt Mr. MeCutioch to-day denied that he had Avokon of the Director's exhibit ae being of false, or NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1868.—TRIPLE SHEET. that he repudiated it, He had not yet had time to enamine 1t and could not therefore pronounce an opinion. It is known that several clerks of the Sec- retary’s office are now engaged in comparing the report with the books of the Treasury, and it ig understood that if any errors shall be found a contradictory statement will be Published, That the showing of the Director will be found erroneous seems very probable, when it is known that prominent statisticians in the office of the Special Commissioner of the Revenue, with whose financial report that of Mr. Delmar does not agree, have already expressed the opinion that some of the Director's statements are obviously erroneous. On the other hand, Mr. Delmar is prepared to stand by his figures and feels confident that they will be fully sustained by the records of the different bureaus. The Dead-Lock in the Appointment of Super visors, Secretary McCulloch, it appears, shows some dis- position to make another attempt to break the dead- Jock in the appointment of supervisors. One of the Commissioner’s nominations was rejected by the Secretary yesterday in order to give Mr. Rollins an. Opportunity to nominate a man on whom it 18 be- lieved both can agree. Nothing further, however, will be done until the return of Mr. Rollins, when the Secretary thinks the whole batch will be sum marily disposed of, Internal Revenue Appointments, The following appointments were made to-day :-- Storekeepers—William Bryan, Third district of New York; George Loring, Fifth district of Culifor- nia; Frank Lynen, Eighteenth district of 01 dames G.

The train reached Lynchburg this morning with the wounded. ‘The Court Martial of Lieuteuaut Payne. A prominent officer of the army, in mentioning the court martial of Lieutenant J. 8. Payne, of the Fifth cavalry, on charges preferred against him by Major Genera} George H. Thomas, said that the account of the findings and sentence in the case as published in @ number of republican journals about ten days ago was high'y crrouwsus, ‘Whe proceedings in the case are still in possession of the Judge Advocate General, and have hot yet been promulgated. All the mem- bers of the court are sworn not to divulge anything that passed in the court, and what little truth there is inthe statement must have been communicated by one of the members in violation of his oath. The finding and sentence, he says, cannot therefore be known until they are offictally published. Army Bulletin. Brevet Lieutenant Colonel A. 0.

A TOCR THROUGH THE SOUTH, Lecture by General Howard, of the Freeds maws Bureag, on What He Saw and Heard In the Southern States, WASHINGTON, Sept. 20, 1868, ‘The following is @ synopsis of the lecture delivered this evening by Major General Oliver 0, Howard, Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Bureau, at the Con- sregavong) church jg Nue city, The Jecture bas for ite subject the recent tour of the General, and was delivered by request of a large number of people. justrial pursuits, @ fair judgment of the condition of sodety. labor interest as a special object.

This indicates at least some respect for the authority of the government he re- preseuts; und he knows that it indicates, further, & desire to be kindly represented to the people of. the United st and to the work. le sought in all he did and said to give no offence, et spoke his belief on all the topics of the day with ness and without repression. He desired to give utterance to a wish that has long been in his heart. It is that some of the best public men of the loyal | States would go through the South and speak to the people calmly and dispassionately upon the issues of the day. If they could go in pairs, meet any and all classes of Southern people in public meetings and clearly and fully discuss auestions which are to be settled in the pending crisis, he thougat many of them might be convinced of error and be induced to cast their votes and influence for liberty, for Union and for peace. In the most of the south- ern newspapers and common conversation our men are constantly denounced, their private assailed, ttl the mass of the people to believe that our pnrest and impure, gambling, malicious if is a common expression, ‘All they tne republican party) want of the negro ts just to ft themseives into power and then tuey-care not what becomes of him,’? 'The Generat then proceeded to trace out the ronte they took, giving graphic and interesting pictures of scenes they encountered, con- versations they held and incidents that caine t thelr notice, They first visited Richmond, Va. He mentioned the bitter feeling mani festea by the upper classes against men from ‘the North who have cast their lot among them, to be called ‘‘carpet-baggers” and to be treated with contempt. At Richmond he ad- dressed the colored people. They then passed down the James river to Norfolk, where he in dressed the colored people. They visited the Dismal Swamp and stayed over night at Weldon, N. C., from Whence they went to Raleigh. The Generai spoke well of the crops in that State, and referred to it as the banner State in the matter of educating the negroes. From Raleigh they went to Charlotte, then to Columbia and Charleston, 8. ©., Augusta, Ata- Janta and Milledgeville, Ga., and Nashville, Tenn, From Tennessee they went into Mississippi, then into Louisiana, and from there to Galveston, Hous- ton, Brenham and Austin, Texas, which was the end of their journey. The General spent a good portion of his time in Texas, and informed himself thor- ouglily as to its condition. On their return they travelled through Galveston, Columbus, New Orleans, Mobile, Montgomery, &c. The General said, Ido not wish to fix any stigma upon Southern men. He would not cast a slurring reflection upon any people; but his convictions in re gard to the South were that the masses of white men are conirolied by a public sentiment created by the few and that these are unscrupulous in the means they employ to maintain their ascendancy over others; that the masses of negroes have their own peculiar freemasonry and a sentiment of public opinion quite in common and pecniiar, The South- ern whites who are friendly to the negroes are ter- ribly afraid of the other whites, bat will straggle earnestly to render themselves respectable, ‘ihe General said great work had been done for the have truest statesmen ar come demagoyruer, cause of education, and the appropriations made to the rental, repairs and con- struction of school buildings had enabled the American Missionary Association, the Freed- men’s Union Commission and others to send teachers ‘to the South and to support them by using the vol- untary contributions of the people. ‘These latter, he said, had more than doubled the government appro- priations. He said every sensible man admitted the necessity of educating the colored race; but to trust it to those who do not think it proper to educate them would be simply to abandon the field. And, moreover, in the present turbulent and excited con- dition of society there it is idle to expect the whites to educate their former slaves, But notwithstandi all the obstacles @ great work has been Leper and will ulttinately be successful. The practicability of education is forcing itself on the attention of men who have thought but little of it before, and if it ts not set back by some counter-revolution’ like that which seems to be beginning in Georgia we may hope the whole South will have as good and perhaps better school system than that of Ohio, In conclusion the General said it seemed to him that the permanent cure for the sad state of a in the South is not altogether of a political nature. He believed a cure cor be accomplished first aiding and extend press in the Southern clues aud villages; second, by establ i associations with means to develop the fertile unogcupied lands by the tnirodaction of en- eee ae emigrants with capital, Dox- sible, le counsels those who profess to be Christians to extend towards their brothers of the South a true Christian spirit. Southern leaders, in their real ability, in their thorough, practical know- ledge, say that we constantly assume to be better educated than they and express ourselves willing to struct the Southern people. They say that we assume to have all the knowledge, all the refinement and culture to be found tn the country, and then ostentatiously offer to impart it to those who are aiready our superiors. To this let us replw—“Come then to us; let us hear your sentiments; let us discuss them everywhere openly and you may be able to modify our sentiments, do away with our prejudice and bring yourseives and ourselves to suiticient unity of thor tand purpose tu enable us to work to- ‘ther for the aoe, good of the test number, ‘he time is at hand when we should cease callin, hard names; when Christian men, at least, should join band in hand and heart in heart to promote the cause of righteousness and truth North and South, East and West, till this beautiful land of liberty, which has been called the asylum of the oppressed, shail bloom and flourish with men redeemed from ignorance, error and sin—men of every name and of every nation.

The fine weather and the prospects of a splendid game drew together an immense crowd yesterday at the Rensselaer Park, Troy, to witness the match be- tween the Atlantics and Unions, of Lansingburg. The game Was one really worthyof being seen, an resulied in a vietory for the Atlantics, the score standing Atlantic 16, Union 13. A game was played at Jersey City last week which purported to ve between the Champions of that place and the Empires of this city. It happens, however, that the Empires could not attend, and soa nine was selected from those on the grounds, including three of the Empire nine, one or two of the second nine, and the rest from the Social and other cluos.

The Troubles About a Quarantine Station How the Late Decision of Judge Gilbert Is Viewed—Determined Opposition by Property | Helders—Quiet Submission Proposed by | Others. For more than ten years the State authorities have been in a quandary to locate a quarantine sta- tion permanently in the lower bay of New York. At one time it was thought that the quarantine had a | permanent home on the northeast shore of Staten Island; but the occurrences of the summer of 1858 | dispelled that hope. The people inhabiting the sur- | rounding country broke over the fences and en- closures one night and burned down the butidings. The people of New York and vicinity well recollect | the many acts of barburity committed by the | enraged populace at the time—how yellow fever patients were left elther in the flames | or were carried and thrown about, like 60 | many sandbags, to perish. All this Vandalism was perpetrated in order to give tangible | evidence to the authorities that the establishment of | @ quarantine station or hospital was not wanted at | that particular spot of Staten Island. Some spas- | modie efforts were made to reassert the authority of | the law over the opposing dispicasure of the peopie, but these efforts were finally abandoned. Even com- panies of miltia ordered to the spot for the protec- | tion of the ruins and of what remained of the build- ings erected were of little use, for many of them co- incided in opinion with the people who ald the damage, and were at best but unwilling executors of | the law. | Another attempt was then made to procure Sandy | Hook for a quarantine station, But Sandy Hook is not New York soil, or rather sand, and New Yo Legislatures have no authority nor jurisdiction ove its sandy waste, This Classic spot, if so it may be | called, belongs to New Jersey. The “Jersey biues are proverbially jealous of their rights, and noamount | of coaxing could induce them to part with even @ particie of their jurisdictional authority over the smallest grain of saud that the wild winds may | wait on or upon the lonely level of mancy ti { And @ quarantine so near the Jersey fats, ( studded wrth inusquitoes and bog, so Lear t! sink lights, thickly peopled with J tically out of reach of any epidemic ported in vessels to Sandy Hook, the > Legisiature would not think of and refused f its permission to let New York occupy th sandbank. An appeal was next made to the Congress of t United States, but whether it was local jealousics the proverbial inertia of that body, wheuey uestions of great moment outside of the political | ring are to be determined, for one or the other reason, or perhaps for both, nothing wus done, although tne general opinion of tie people is that @ uniform system of quarantine throughout the whole of our vast extent of shoreline Is just as much within the province of the national legisiature as a uniforin system of nat- uralization, of bankruptcy, of finance or of muiitary and naval defence. The State of New York was therefore thrown upon its own resources and tis own territory for the protection of the health, not only of its own inhabitants, but of the whole country. Many and various plans were proposed, and within the last few years more practical measures were adopted for permanently locating a quarantine sta- tion. At one tline, not more than about two or years ago, the Commissioners procured a law to be (py by our Legislature giving them power to se- lect a part of Coney Isiand for their lucation of a quarantine hospital. As the Commissioners were about to proceed under the law and make a personal inspection of the locality they again met the persist- ent hostility of the people inhabiting the neighbor- hood, who, very reasonably, dreaded the approach | of infectious and contagion’ diseases to the very door of tueir homes. A large police force was re- fifty yards abead. She kept this advantage to the end, winning the heat by fifty yards, ‘Time, 2:45, Second Heai,—limmy O'Brien, notwithstanding that he lost the heat, was the favorite in tue pool, selling at ten to eight.

Great excitement was now visible among the spectators, and several of them appealed to the judges to have the bets declared off, fa Luey insisted that the race was to be thrown. Mr. McMahon, the owner of the mare, said be was willing to have the outside bets declared off as he had nothing to do with them, but that he intended to trot for the money that he and Mr. Noble had stak: in the meantime the judges appointed Hiram Hewe to drive the mare; but this the owner of the gelding and several others objected to, When the judges declared all outside bets of. ‘Fourth Heat—The horses then came up with the | drivers Uvst bad gaided them in the previous heats and got the word, the gelding taking the lead.

Davis, the snatron of the Institution, in | the chair, About two hundred ladies were present, | varying from seventeen years to fifty years of aye, | and embracing teachers, seamstresses, embroider. | esses, compositors, boxinakers and nearly every branch of labor engaged in by the workingwomuen of this city. Miss SUSAN B, ANTHONY addressed the meet- ing at considerable length, detatiing the progress whicn has thas far made in the work of securing to Women a great a of independence and equality with men, and, while lessening the arauousness of their emplo: ment, tending aiso at the same time to render their compensation more proportionately just in com- parison with the scale of remuneration paid to male artisans for similar services, She recommended to | them also the formation of mutual protective and benevolent associations and co-operative societies in every de; ment of female labor, as a means of developing their strength and infuence as an impor- tant and necessary element of the community, and might be eflected by these means the fact that a Femaie Typographical Union and Co-operative Association, which was formed on Monday evening, was mn a fair way of succeeding. If the women would only show some signs of vitality, energy and confidence in the matter there were thoasands of philanthropi- cally disposed persons who would voluntarily assist thein by personal and pecuniary assistance and 6 couragement.

The law was changed. The Commissioners were authorized to select any shallow part of the bay and erect upon @ bank an artificial island, and there, surrounded on ali sides by the purifying waters of the ocean, build on made ground or piles a hospital capable of accommodating all whom fate mught bring to our shores in a sickly condition, and to select a part of the western portion of Coney Island d erect thereon all necessary tenements for resi- other this dences of the officers and wardens and employes of the Commissioners. Under jaw the Commissioners proceeded to m: their selection; but tney again met with ¢ termined opposition, and thia time in the form of legal proceedings. On behaif of the inhabitants of the town of Gravesend, in the county of Kings, an application was made to the Supreme © in the Second Judicial district of the State, for an lajune- tion restraining the Quarantine Commissioners from establishing thetr headquarters on any part of Coney Island, many reasons were assigned for the jus- tice of this application, On the ez parte statement of the petitioners one of the Judges of the court pg a preliminary injunction, or injunctional or- ler as it Is called by the code, and the Commission- ers had again to abstain from all further efforts at perfecting their planus. They moved, however, to dissoive this injunctional order and met the allega- tions of the inhabitants of the town of Gravesend | with counter allegations, which, after argument, roved sufficient to convince Judge Jasper W.

A letter from Quito states that the stench from the Tulns 18 almost insufferable, Don Pedro Perez Pareja Was killed, leaving twelve sons, His family lost over $200,000 worth of property on their Quinta | hacienda, The ground is rent in all directions and most of the pastures are converted into impassable Marshes and lagoons; hills are burst and thrown in all directions. Some of the notabie persons gone are:—José Maria Gomez ana sons, F, Salvador de Sanquirico, Rosario $, de Rebolledo, Mercedes and Antonia Ribadaneira, tne Mena family, those ot Seiior Maximo Rocha, Dr. Pefiaherrera, Sefiora Bue- naventura Calisto and most of their family, Dr, Modesto Paz, Revs. Villalobos and Suarez, and hosts of others, The province of Camanh, about ninety-four leagues. in extent along the coast, Is entirely ruined. The sea swept it after the shocks had thrown down twenty- two churches, seventeen prisons and nearly all the houses, &c, The distress in that province ts heart- rending. Colonel Chacano, the Prefect of Arequipa, had to threaten the pillagers with 600 lashes each when caught stealing, It was the only way to deter them from robbing the unfortunate people of that city and province after the earthquake, ‘The people of Arica and the artillery battalion are at loggerheads, the one accusing the ocher of demor- alization and rapine, and these in turn calling the people of that city vile and contemptible. The com. mauder of the stranded Peruvian corvette America had to divide his men into detachments to protect the citizens from the insults of the artil- levists, There were fewer shocks about August 21, only three having been felt on that day. One Adaciendado writes that from the | 13th of August to the 15th he was on his hacienda, All the buildings were destroyed. He states that the hills and the vales were thrown up in immense quantities, The rocks were hurled abont like so many cocos, and such was the terror inspired by the scene that all imagined the day of judgment to have come. It appears that tne shocks were not felt at Hud- nuco. At Puerto-la-Mar they were felt on August 13 at half-past five P, M. Rear Admiral Turner was superintending the dis- mantling of the Wateree, and had distributed all her stores to the needy citizens of Arica, Up to August 27 the earthquakes were still to be felt, and kept the people in dismay. Although the cities of the board are well provided for, thanks to the en- ergetic action of the Peruvian, Chilean and Bolivian governments, a8 well as of the foreign naval officers, still in the luterior there is great suffering and dis- , owing to the ditleulties of transporting pro- ions and other means of relief, ‘taere was another very violent shock felt on Saturday, August 29, at 3:35 min. 20sec, P.M.

Aguilar, of the Jesuit Order, to the Minister of the Interior: v CARANQUT, August 21, 1863. Dean MiNisreR—All the road from Otivalo to Jbarra is sown with rains and the dead. The oj ing and tumbling in of ravines are frequent, espe- ciaily along the West Cordillera, from Mojando to San Lorenzo, On the slopes of the Cuico besides the tumbling of huge pteces, enormous new clefts are being opened or the old ones made wider. The roads that ote the farms and towns of the western slope are impassable, owing to broad and deep ravines. The Ambi bint gave way, carrying all the cane fields and houses along. The formidable masses of stone and earth that were hurled from the Cotacacht rolled down into the lower pains, carrying ruin and desolation along. From the Imbabura's northern slope has started a torrent of mud that has formed hKiliocks, after destroying some fields of grain near Jbarra and killing a great number of cattle, The mud flow was followed by a less one of water, which ig daily increasing. So far we cannot tell where the centre of the shocks was, for 1 must leave such matters and the explora- tion of the ground till I have attended to more press- ing wants, Nevertheless, it 1s thought, with reason apparently, that the focus is Mount Ocampo, for It casts out great quantities of bituminous matter, | Hat few have got safe from Cotacacht, ig Tum- babiro, Salinas and seme other towns, Wo have no news from any of these places, the roads are entirely destroyed. este we reached this unfortunate place after having ited the fuins of Ibarra and some of the where the people have taken rel and e 1 the dead taken from the ruins. The whole town 1a nearly levelled, but not so thoroughly as Otdvalo, for some few walls are still up and some ruins of church walls six or seven metres higher, as well as a few houses that are badly damaged.

To this end, early this morning the Governor, Captain ledaper- rera and myself went to choose a ground. We chose an inclined plain, quite level and solid to the south- east of Lulungul on the bank of the Tasaaudo and clear of the pestilential wind that wafts iaiasma from among the ruins of Ibarra. We have alread) laid out the plan of the settlement whither all the population is to be brought. We shal! wateh the resuit. The shocks and the showers of earth and siorm continue. The few persons who have escaped the fatal shocks are in complete terror and expect death at any moment either from the snocks or the pestilential fevers that are engen- dered by the smelis arising from the ruins and the ravines, The state of the whole repubiic ts lamenta- ble and deserves the commiseration of ali truly ca- tholic people. The calculation here is that at least 6,000 souls have been lost in this province. We have been able to get a few irom the ruins and the ba lance must rot there. So the stench ts imtoler- able, and we stoell at a distance of balf a league. The appearance of the city, thus af- flicred, is most mouroful and terrifying. The er isoles | that marked the history of that night of August 16 belongs to the record of lamentations. Almost every person saved wonders at the manner in which he got out of the rain i most of those who ex- caped death had te wg out of the falling build- ings. Even yester at noon, when we reached Ibarra, we had to work assiduously and caretally for about two hours to get an anfortanate fellow out of the heaps of ruins, f took part in the work to give courage to others. ‘The poor fellow had been buried six days alongside of his wife’ . ‘The decom- of the latver aud the horro th were obtained, and subscriptions secured to employ the most eminent counsel Kings county can afford 1o contest the matter with the Comuissioners still further, 0 appeal from.
