‘The German Democrats and the Procession To-Night. All the several committees of the German demo- @ats of the city held a joint meeting yesterday after- Boon at Reinhardt’s casino, corner Houston and Mott streets. Mr. John J.

The time will soon come when this will be sufficient to meet the wants vernment, That is not all, but is enough to crown with eternal and honor those who dared to stand in the gap; k all for the salvation of the country. But 18 not all. Oh, no. Let us look still further at the record of this party. You know how, for years and years, we hid our faces in shame because of that Segre! of all disgraces, American slavery. When mst the country into a terrible civil war after three years of forbearance, Mr. Lincoln issued his proclamation if the Southern p aet continued to murder Union soldiera a hun ore, ra strike the institution with the battle- 3 ne, weer in that exciting contest. Do you not re- member how faithfully every one of you republicans stood by our noble and martyred standard bearer ? Do you not remember how we were denounced for it and had invective and Leong ernie be us without stint; how we were called icatani bd rorshippers, and accused of war to free the we anc negroes and not to save the Union? In Congress, on the stump, through the Press, our enemies endeav- ored to overwhelm us Wi you persevered, unawed, unchecked by the tempest of invective that raged around you upon every side, atlast you triumphed. You bioited out the stain from the national escutcheon, and at last you could stand up in the great republic and proclaim, from tae hundred harbors of Maiue to that far distant Pa- cific State whose foam is amber and whose sand is gold, throughout the entire domain of this vast re- public, that there was not a single man who could bayen up and cail himself master nor call another an his ve. ‘This, fellow republicans, was your work, and of this you shouid be proud, a8 one oi the noblest lega- cies you can transmitto yourchildren. In this great act of justice and liberty you have been honored by the world, and I sincerely believe approved by Almighty Where are the men now who pointed the tinger of scorn at you, and who filled their mouths with revilings at you because you dared to strike at slavery? Not a tongue of these men dare to wag now: they are silent as the tomb, every one of them. You and I shall pass away, but what we have accomplished shall live in all fature history ana brighten under the eyes of posterity. As after age roils away your children’s children will rise up to call you blessed, because, in the midat of civil war you dared to strike down this cursed insti- tution of slavery; because, despite the slanders that were heaped upon you, you banished slavery forever from this fair repuolic of ours. Do you wonder that my heart throbs with unutter- able pleasure when I think of this, our glorious Work? But we have still another honor in connec- tion with this work. We had a noble President, faithful to duty, faithful to the country, faithful to the constitution and faithful against the rebellion, You well remember how all the elements of party bit'erness were let loose upon him, how slander and abuse and calumny were heaped upon him, and finally how he feil, pierced by the bullet of a rebel assassin. Noblest of the Presidents since the days of Washington, he was denounced as no President ever has been reviled, and yet he reviled not again, but pursued his line of duty unflinchingly to the end. Supported by a noble patriotism, his course was true and faithful to the day he was numbered with the dead. |, did Isay? He is not dead, His is one of the few of the immortal ndmes that were not born to die. (Prolonged bomen”) He lives to-d among the noble martyrs to liberty, justice anc humanity, and in the recollection of the dark browed race he lifted from slavery to the full stature of manhood, it is with pride that we look back now upon the fact that we stood by him when the storm of war raged around him. We feel proud that we stood firm in the cause of justice and manhood inst every wrong and oppression. ‘o-day we feel proud that we have saved a nation and emancipat @ race, and to-day we foliow our great standard bearer, the hero of the century, U. 8. Grant. Brave in battle, generous in victory, reti- cent in speech, yet firm as the eternal granite in prin- ciple, and upon whose banner these magic words are inscribed, ‘Let us have peace.” ‘They are four words only, but a volume is contained in them. If there is @country in the world that wants peace it is this American republic. We have passed through a severe stragg for national existence. No land ever was requ to make such sacrifices as ours. We had to heap up golden and living treasures upon our country’s altar; the noblest and best went forth to prove their devotion to the flag of our fathers. Now, in the language of our leader, let us have peace. We want no more taxes; no more drafts; no more carnage and bloodshed and desolation. No, no. When we reflect that this re- bellion is only to be remembered in broken heal numberiess graves and enormous debt, we can all say We want no more war, but we want loyalty to be triumphant, and we want eae mbae Justice, lib- erty, nationality and security to all. ‘(Great ap- plause.) Are we going to have them? (Yes; when we elect Grant and Col *) Yes; there is one man who commanded peace, who struck down and drove those who waged war into the last ditch and sent them home as led prisoners of war. When he becomes President, whenever treason dares to raise its head he will strike itdown. Every man who dares to raise his hand against his fellow man will be met with the stern power of the government, Grant will give protection to all through the nation’s strength. That is what Grant intends to do and what he believes the duty of the Executive, asI know from his own declarations. (Great applause.) These Ku Klux outrages must cease. You remem- ber in 1860, eight years there were threatent in the South. They said they were going to rebel; hoe did not believe it then, but it was a stern reality. 0 you know that they are better prepared to-day than a j were then? They didn’t then have this orgal Ku Klux Klan, the existence of which has been denied; but no man can deny itnow. No man now rises up to deny what Forrest has ecknowleaged, that this is a powerful and armed organization, Teady to do its work. In 1860, you know, men dared to stand up in the South and denounce seces- sion and declare their devotion to the Unfon; now no man can do so without being in danger of his life. Speakers in the South teach people to ostracize jose who speak in defence of the Union. This you know is the case now, and that it was not eight years ago, before the rebellion was organized. ‘These — rages are encor men who then controlled these 38i and thereby organized the confederacy and raised the armies of the rebellion to crush the Union.

Johnson, of Georgia, has written @ powerful letter urging the native popula- tion of the State to “organize for the confict; organ- ize in every county and district; arouse the people from fatal lethargy; arouse them, not by words of denunciation, not by appeals to their prejudices ‘and passions, but to their reason and ‘The stake 1s valuable above all eaithly price; it is good government for ourselves and our posterity.” ‘The Hartford Times advertises:—“Wanted by the radicals, a very serious riot.” ‘The Philadelphia ge (democratic) gives the follow- ing about General Kilpatrick:—General Kilpatrick 1g exceedingly bold and valiant in Independence square when protected by the police. He acted dif- ferently in Lancaster in escaping from Fulton Hall by the back cellar door, At Lancaster General Kil- patrick told his “plack and tan’? audience to “smash the head of a copperhead whenever they saw one.” They attempted it and got well whipped. Then the radical journals whined out a “riot’’ and ‘‘outrage.”” And further says, referring to the grand demonstra- tion of the “Boys in Blue’:—‘The colored troops, who volunteered go freely and fought a9 bravely (in the opinion of radicals) had no proper place assigned them in the parade yesterday.” The fight in General Butler’s district (Fifth Mag- sachusetts) is getting quite warm. The subscription to assist Mr. Dana in the support of his family in case he shouid be elected over the General does not seem to make much headway. The Boston Journal is out for Butler, The Philadelphia Telegraph (radical) cries out “Philadelphia in danger.” What from? Certainly not from the glorious “‘B’hoys in Blue ?’” The Harrisburg (Pa.) State Guard (radical) saye:— “We can safely assert that no better managed or more thoronghly contested compaign was ever con- ducted in Pennsylvania than the one now in pro. gress, inspired by the defence and advocacy of re- publican principles.” So much the worse if you lose. Does the “end of the Bourbon dynasty” to which the papers are just now referring imply that the whiskey ring has been smashed up? ‘The execution of Max Klinger, for murder in St. Louts, has been postponed from the 6th inst. to some time in November. Respiting convicted murderers seems to be all the rage in Missouri. Especial atten- tion, on the other hand, appears to be directed to the assassination of registration officers. General Logan denies that the G. A. R.’s. are pledged to vote for Grant. No, be gar! Hon. Thomas L. Jones has been renominated for Congress from the Fifth Kentucky district. James L. Seward denies having written a letter re mouncing the democracy. On the contrary, he says:—‘My firm conviction is that the election of Seymour will ultimately restore the equality of the States and give peace and harmony to the American people under the constitution—the only true basis of union.” Says Lieutenant General Sherman: ness to become a partisan.” Per contra, writes Major General Phil Sheridan:— “Say to the Boys in Blue that it is as essential to have a political victory this fall as it was to have an Appomattox in 65, and that every man who loves his country should vote for Grant.” The Raleigh (N. C.) Sentinel says that as there will be no election in Virginia on the 34 of November the North Carolina radicals are proposing to profit by it by carrying negroes from Virginia into the border counties of North Carolina under the pre- tence of work, but really for the purpose of register- ing and voting. All the great radical demonstrations in the West are called “fizzles” by the democrats, and vice versa. One thing Is certain, however, that the entire people are aroused if both parties tell untruths, Fernando Wood and Judge Cragin, of New Hamp- shire, political anttpodes, were guests in the same hotel in Scranton, Pa., lately. Cragin was serenaded and pitched into Wood heavily. Coal has gone up since Wood went down in Scranton. Boutwell, of Massachusetts, is being made a big card of by the radicals in Ohio. He talks, about every night, except the Sabbath, when he exhorts at a hard shell Baptist prayer meeting. TELEGRAPHIC POLITICAL ITEMS. Republican Nominations in Albany County.

Hays, A touching little song, with no pretensions except that of sim- plicity and feeling. It is handsomely illustrated, “To the Cross I Cling; sacred song. Millard. The same remarks which we have made about the preceding song will apply to this, without need of additional comment. “Little Blossom.” J. R. Thomas. A playful little piece, unpretentious in character and of interest to every one. “Loves of the Angels; waltz, A. Pacher. A very pretty waltz, and well varied throughout, although not possessing any original traits, Why it should be termed “brilliant,” as it ison the title page, we are at a loss to know, for there is nothing remarkable about it, and any ordinal Lee yl should be able to play it at sight. It is also called a “reverie,” on the principle, we suppose, of lucus a non lucendo, The same house publishes in a neat form two numbers from “Genevieve de Brabant,” called “C'est un pate” and “En passant.’’ “Qui Vive;?’ galop de concert. Ganz. A spirited, dashing galop, marred, however, by too many repe- titions, It might be cut down to one-half with great improvement to it, The finale is very common and ineffective, “Marian Klinge Waltzes.” Joseph Strauss. The introduction to these waltzes is omitted, and the whole piano arrangement exceedingly poor. We doubt very much if Strauss ever wrote the finale, There aré many mistakes besides scattered through it which are a libel on this favorite waitz com- poser. ‘Schirmer publishes an exquisite morceau by J. W, Groschel called “Les Adieux.” It is of the Scha- mann order, and shows the accomplished musician in every measure. Blume Vere 4 a song by Groschel called “Sun- light Within My Heart.’ It is a slumber song, and has a plaintive, touching character which must re- commend it to the attention of every musician, Wm. Halt & Son publish the following:— “Farewell to the Mountain,” the lament of a Scot- tish Highlander on leaving his native land. J. Daniel. A simple, FB mand Scottish song, which, when sung by an artist, cannot fail to please. “Oh, Sing that Melody Again.” Groschel. Another of those charming songs of this favorite composer, well conceived and worked up in a musicianly man- ner, ‘Wm. A. Pond & Co, publish the celebrated arrange- ment of ‘Home, Sweet Home,” for the left hand alone, by James M. Webli. It is @ very brilliant and effective piece and will serve as an excellent study for the left hand. “Sweet Hours of Memory;’' contralto or Daas song. Henry Kleber. One of the most beautiful and attrac- tive songs we have met in the course of our review. The melody is entirely out of the ordinary line and the accompaniment equally good. The words are also of @ sty rf kind. “Long ch Schottish.” Eastburn. To any one who admires song this arrangement of one Ang most popular of his ditties will prove “shout for Liberty; a political war song. Brown.

Additional Particulars of the Effects of the A correspondence from La Paz, dated August 23, states that the news of the destruction of Arica reached that capital on the 22d by express. states that tue convulsion was felt at La Paz on August 13, at half-past fve P.M. Nearly the whole population was made sick, like when at sea. The movement of the earth was siow and oscillating, #0 that the chandeliers of the parlors caught in each other. The people attribute the quake to a volcanic eruption, and all the travellers just ived te that only a few minutes pre- vious to the shock they noted that the heavens were lit up with a reddish glare. The city of La Paz is situate on the east side of the Andes range in the republic of Bolivia, and at an elevation of 12,226 feet above the sea. It hasa population of about 40,000.

As all the data thus far gathered rtion of the Andes lying between the arallels of south latitude as the centre of the convulsion, it would be well to know in what direction the shocks were felt at La Paz, In Arequipa they were from south to north, and at Tacna from east to west, A letter from Cosapilia states that the shocks were felt there on August 19 at one P, M., with far greater onthe 13th.

Great quantities of every necessary relief were for- warded from Lima and Puno. The 2 Fear were taking full advantage of this, but the wealthy classes, wha suifered most, were deterred. Extreme delicacy waa necessary on the ‘t of relief commiasions in con- sequence. The whole pepe was in the utmost anxiety to get means of leaving the province, They have no more faith in the safety of Arequipa or the surrounding country. This terror is due in part to the uninhabitable state of the towns and the impos- sibility of ever rebuilding them, and also to the panic caused by the activity of Mount Misti, whose western slopes, overhanging the northern part of Arequipa, are in constant vibration, So we judge from the continuous column of dust that arises frou the west slope of the volcano, The lower classed dread that an eruption is at hand, and are sleeplesg in consequence, They assert that the raviues opened in the mountain exhale volcanic matter. 'e know, however, that a commission will be soon sent up the mountain to investigate the state of We have had no shocks since A’ it 28, Arequipa will lose one-third of its ple from emigration.

Another letter, dated September 1, states that @ great deal of trouble exists becween the civil and milit authorities at Arequipa, and almost oot night shots are exchanged between the partisans the Prefect and those of Colonel Luna. A new crater has been opened in the mountian, from which smoke arises, ‘The Minister Cisneros had reached Arequipa, accompanied by Bishop Tordoya and Gen- eral Alvarado Ortiz. The complaints agaist the Prefect will probably cause his removal. At Puno the violent shocks were felt from shortly after five P. M.on August 13 to one A. M. August 16, and slight ones were irequent until August 23, when most terrific claps of thunder were heard, ac- companied by very violent quaking of the earth. These latter shocks damaged two churches and the walls of some houses. Besides the shat.ering of the church at Villa de Lamp and some houses there, na other damage was done at or around Puno. But the terror of the people was such that the city was abandoned for the fields. At Caraveli, in about 15 deg. 30 min. south latitude, the shocks were from south to north. The earth- quake was far more violent and destructive than that of 1821, The following is an accurate state. meat of the time at whicn each violent shock wad felt up to August 26, ch of the following shocks lasted over twenty seconds:— " August 13—0:15 P. M., 5:40, 6:05, 6:11, 6:13, 6:23, 6:24, 6:40, 6:45, ), 7: 12, 8:20, and eleven more shocks during the nigh August 14—6:15 A. M., 6:61, 7:25, 8, 9:50, 10:25, 4:41 P.

Not a single cloud was visible except a few slight ones on the 2ist and 26th, and wien they were in sight not a shock was teit, The same occurred in 1821. On the nights of August i5, ly and 22, Nashes of lightning were noticed. Such a thing was never before seen in Caravell. On the 4th of September, at twenty-seven minutes ast noon, ashock of eaithquake was felt at Callao. t lasted forty seconds and the vibration was frou south to north as on the 13th of August. There was no noise with the shock. At the moment of the shock a fresh breeze from south-southwest was blows ing, although the day was like one in sumer. In the distance, towards the western horizon, @ dense, mountain-like cloud was noticed. Immediately after the shock we noticed to the west- southwest @ brilliant star, apparentiy of the first magnitude, and at a very high elevation. This phe- nomenon is not so strange as some may think a for we do not always have so C.ear @ sky as at that time, In the afternoon we had two more shocks. Although slight they caused no little alarm. ‘The first was at quarter past one P. M., and the other at quarter be- fore two P. M, These same shocks were felt at Arequipa and throughout the surrounding country. The Bore in Chile. When the news of the earthquakes in Peru reached Valparaiso, on the 20th of August, a rumor was started that the volcano of Aconcagua, northeast of Valparaiso about one hundred and twenty-five miles, was in action. The rumor was soon found to be groundiess, The only manner in which Chile was affected by the convulsion seems to have been by the tidal wave, ezcept as far as Copiaplo, in twenty-seven. degrees thirty minutes south latitude, The tidal wave was felt, however, as far south as forty-three degrees soath latlinde. At Ancau in Chiloe a heavy flow and ebb was noticed about five times at intervals of half an hour each. For the three following days the tide and currents were very irregular, but no damage was done. At Puerta Montt nothing very strange was remarked in the tide, At Corral an unusual roar was heard from the sea and the water rose and fell very much and quite rapidly. The current was about ten to eleven knota an hourand kept so until three A. M. August 14, when it began to siacken until August 16. The ves- sels in port dragved their anchors and some collide but the damage done was trifing. At Lebu violent winds heaped up the sea and a violent tempest set in from the north. 1t was accompanied by heavy surges and a rapid current. At Coronel and Lota the movement of the sea was less noticeabie. How- eser, at Coronel, the recess of the ocean caused so rapid a current In the river that two lighters were dashed together and two of the hands lost. Tome was overflowed and a bridge, 300 yards inland, waa destroyed by the rush of the ocean ashore. The Shocks in Ecuador. The following letter from Quito, under date of August 19, will be read with interest:— Our summer began about the early part of May this year, and has been growing more severe all the while since. The heat and high winds increased Unusually, From the end of July all through August a catarrhal fever raged epidemicaily. Almost every one was affected with a sort of bronchitis or pul- monary weakness, carrying some oif in the space of five days. On Saturday, August 15, between three and four PF.
