The Disgust Towards Grant Spreading - Important Action or Sonthern Re? publican?-The Workinguien go Back on Judge Davis. NEW* YORK, April 3. Tue Sun, of this morning, has the follow? ing: "Several leading Republicans from the Southern States have been consulting together In this city during the past few days as to the question of national politics. Most of them were decided at the start to go to the Clscin natl Convention. Some are original Southern ore, others are among the Btronge3t and best Northern men who have settled in the South since the war, and who have always acted on the advice of such men as Horace Greeley and Charles Sumner. These gentlemen met yes? terday in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and decided to consult Senator Sumner on the subject and be influenced by his advice. The dispatch of Sumner, when received, will probably be of great interest to Republicans all over the coun? try, especially to those ot the South. We hope to have it for publication to-morrow.

The Washington correspondent of the Baltl- ( more Sun writes : j The manifesto Issued In New York by Ho race Greeley, Fred. Conkllng, (brother of the , senator,) Judge Henry R. 8elden, formerly of . the Court of Appeals, Sigismund Kauffman, the last Republican candidate lor Lieutenant Governor, and Hon. Waldo Hutchins and , others, endorsing the Liberal Convention at . Cincinnati, bas created a decided impression In political quarters here, where lt is unlver- t sally admitted to be a delegation ot great . character and ability, and one calculated to give Important direction and strength to the f Cincinnati movement. The President, In conversation yesterday with an administration senator, stated that . this new demonstration ot Horace Greeley and company did not surprise him, as he had j been advised several days ago of what was ( coming, nor did he believe lt would result in , m pcb. Injury to the Republican party. Indeed, be thought that now these men had left the Republican regular organization, the party . could see exactly where lt stood and who lt . would have to fight; and, as for himself, he j did Bot fear the result. The willingness of this manifesto to waive such features of party platform as tariff planks strikes favorably all the politicians who have been insisting that . the Cincinnati Convention must not deal in . ..non-essentials." Letters received here within a few days from Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana; Iowa, and Wisconsin leave no doubt that large and respectable delegations of liberal Republicans , will attend the Cincinnati convention from those States. Hon. J. B. Grinnell, for many , years a Republican member of Congress from iowa, will head the delegation from that State, and Hon. Leonard Swett and Hon. Jesse K. Dubois, of Illinois, who were among the late President Lincoln's earliest friends ? and supporters, will be among the dele? gates from that State. Virginia and North . Carolina will bave full delegates, and it ls claimed that the colored element lo the South will be fully represented. Many of these let? ters speak of an adherence to. Republican grinciples, but an unalterable opposition to rant. THE NEXT COTTON CROP. Will the Next Crop be a Short One I- . Effect of the Presidential Campaign 1 on Negro Labor-Important Conside? rations for the Commercial World. The New Orleans correspondent of the Ne>v York World writes : j Business men in this great cotton mart are i dlscusslBg a serious problem. What will be \ tbe effect of the Presidential campaign on the next cotton crop? The question ls one ot : equal Importance at the North, for upon the ; great staple depends our ability to meet our , commercial obligations to Europe and to reg? ulate our business at borne. It ls beyond douut that General Grant will make extraordinary efforts to carry tbe Southern Sfates. To this end every Bpecles of cajolery, every sensation dodge known to political wlre-pul lr-rs, will be lived to bring out and fasten the negro vote. There will be mass conventions, barbecues, torchlight processions, protracted meetings, and all that sort of thing, to tickle the African ear and eye. Labor will therefore be uncertain in its operations. The negro, af? ter all, is but a child In intellect. He ls easily drawn away by glitter'and show. The excite? ment and dissipation of a political gathering, the flattery and fawning of white men who j want his voie, are peculiarly attracllvo to j ulm. He ls Improvident. He has no dis- i position to work for more than a bare ll veli- < hood. When the barbecue comes in compet?- < tlon with the hoe, free liquor at the hustings 1 with toll In the field, who doubts where our ; colored brother will be found ? The hotiest j part of the Presidential campaign will come in the picking season, when a day or an hour ? lo?t is so much lost to the cotton crop, and a i loss that cannot be retrieved. Is lt not possi? ble, therefore, that next season may be a very short crop in consequence of the partial with- 1 drawal of the negroes from labor, and may : not the price for middlings once more range In the thirties ? The matter is worthy of thought in the commercial world. -Johnson's Cotton Mill at North Adams, Massachusetts, was burned yesterday-loss one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE. Awful Destruction of Life and Property .-California Stinking Night and Day Vast Chasms Opening In the Earth The Population of Lone Pine Burled Volcanoes Bursting Forth in the Mountains. Further accounts from the late California earthquake Indicate that the convulsion was one of unprecedented severity. About thirty persons have been killed and wounded; seve? ral settlements are in ru,..., the earth's sur? face has been permanently marred by Assures or sinkings, and, to crown all, symptoms of vol? canic action are reported from several places. The locality In which this extraordinary dis? turbance occurred is in the middle of the southern part of the State, In the new coun? ties ot Kern and In yo, formed from the coun? ties ot Matlposa and Tulare. The region most afflicted is divided by the Sierra Nevada, Kern River being on the west side of the range and Owen's on the east. The country Is evidently oi volcanic origin, being sprinkled with scoria;, tufa and other traces ot volcanic action. Although San Francisco is compla? cently represented as contemplating the catas? trophe with unruffled serenity, lt is to be hoped that some of Its scientific men will feel sufficient interest in the phenomenon to go down and Investigate it. The following are the latest accounts of the awful phenomenon: SAN FRANCISCO, March 31. Dispatches received Irom the volcanic dis? trict in Inyo County, lour hundred miles south? east from this city, give additional details of the earthquake disaster on Tuesday last. The shocks still continue, though with decreased violence. It is remarkable that only a slight shock on Tuesday was felt In Central and Northern California. Cerro Gordo **as badly damaged, having several buildings thrown down and one man killed. Lone Pine appears to have been directly over the centre of the disturbance, and among the kilted there was Mr. Grey, aged forty two, a native ol Texas. The remainder were all SpanlBh-Americans. The first shock ls described as resem? bling a park of artillery, fired directly beneath the town. Colonel Whipple, who was In the second story of an adobe house, states that he bad just time to jump from bed and get to the doorway, when the house appeared to crumble to pieces beneath bim. He was hurried among the ruins, but succeeded in extricating himself from the debris, having received several severe but not dangerous wounds. A terrible geeoe ensued when the first shock was over. Nearly the whole populace were buried beneath the ruins. Cries tor help and screams of pain from the wounded beneath the ruins filled the air, while those who escaped were calling for aid to rescue fathers, mothers, wives aud chil? dren. The first shock was followed in quick succession by three others. Over three hun? dred distinct shocks were felt between half past two and sunrise; in lact, the earth was In a constant tremble for over three hours. A chasm was opened extending thirty-five miles down -the valley, ranging from three Inches to forty feet in width, rocks were also thrown from their places, and rolled down Into the valley. At Swaozea, Colonel Tregallas, of the Smelting Works, was killed. Great desolation prevails among the Inhabi? tants of Lone Pine. A dispatch to-day from Visalla, says several shocks were felt in that city last night, and are etld coming from the southeast. There are rumors of a volcano In active operation having been seen from the summit of Greenbood Mountain, sixty miles south of Vis illa. The Indians in that vicinity have all left, fearing the recurrence ot the general convulsion ol nature, which, accord? ing to their traditions, occurred In that re? gion some hundreds of years ago, and created what is known as Owen's River Valley, but which was, before that time, a chain of monn lains. The section seriously affected by the earthquake was sparsely lo habited, and maiu y people engaged In working the silver-bear DH lead mines. LATER_Additional advices from Inyo bounty place the number of killed by the earthquake on Tuesday at thirty, besides one .mn(ired wounded. In the desert country, stretching from Owen's Lake to the Mexican lae, are innumerable craters not long ex? tinct, besides several mud volcanoes, and it is supposed that-some of these old volcanoes nay be in emption again. A gentleman from Independence asserts that smoke and ashes rom a volcano were distinctly seen south? ward from tbat place, and word has been irought there tbat lava was Been flowing down he mountain, but the report ls not authenll sated. The shocks continued, decreasing In bree up to Thursday morning, when over me thousand bad been counted. At Tibbett's .anche, fifteen miles above Independence, forty icres of ground sunk seven feet below the surface of the surrounding country. BigOweu's L>ake has risen four feet since the first shocks. )wen's River ran over Its banks, depositing ihoals of fish on the shore: aiterward it re? eded. Through Lone Pine the earth ?racked, one side remaining stationary while .he other sunk seven or eight feet, leaving a .val! ol earth extending over three miles in ength, where formerly was a level plain. In lumerable cracks were made throughout the calley. Kern and Owen's Rivers turned and .an up stream for several minutes, leaving .heir beds dry, and finally returned with argely Increased volume. There has been no >arallel to this earthquake since the year 1812, when the Missions of San Juin Canistra 10 and La Purissima, in Southern California, vere destroyed. Of course the earthquake is he matter of oom tuon conversation tnrough mt California, but creates not the slightest ipprebenslon out -?ide of the district affected. | !

THE LIFE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA. Annual Report for 1871. The annual report of the president and other officers of this Institution was placedlo our hands some days since, but we have not heretofore noticed lt, being unable to give it tbe examination lt deserves. The report covers over twenty pages ol neatly printed octavo pamphlet, and gives a concise view of the present financial condi? tion of the association, its business during the past year and prospects for the future. President Britton reports to the members of the association the formation and succ?s si ul operation of twenty-seven departments of the company, occupying a territory almoBt co? extensive with the whole Union. Each of these departments is managed by a board ot directors of thirteen members elected by the trustees each year,* tbe whole formlog a per? fect machine, the motive power being at the seed office in-St. Louis. The depart men; s, In addition to their local government, participate ilso in the government of the association as a whole, each president of a department board if directors being also a member of the gene? ral board of directors of the company. The Institution works with an extraordinary harmony, as the powers and duties of its managing beads, as well as the- rights and priv.U^es of its members, are all clearly iefloed in its comprehensive charter. The energetic, aggressive spirit of the asso? ciation ls evidenced by the lact, ert forth in he paper before us, that seven new depart? ments nave been organized during the past pear,-and that ?ge* cn mote ai ctn procesa of formation. Among these latter especial nentlon ls made of New York, which Mr. Britton states will be organized within a short jerlod. This bas, since writing the report, iecome an accomplished fact, as our readers ?ave already learned from ihe telegraphic re? ports in our columns. In remarking on the proud success of the as? sociation lp New York-the cradle as well as the stronghold ol Us powerful competitors .he report says: "This ls a great triumph, and it proves conclusively that the principles upon which the association ls based do not call for .he patronage of merely a single State or sec Ion of the country; they are universal In their application, and must be recognized by the whole nation." The experience of the compa? ny shows the Justice ot ihe remarks, for we ind representative boards of trustees (num sering in the aggregate over three thousand members) in all the principal cities, viz: New ifork, St. Louis, Baltimore, Pittsburg, Cincin? nati, Louisville, Mobile, New Orleans, Mem? phis, Indianapolis, Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco, and several other important points. The report goes on to show the progress of the association during the past year. In this connection the following figures will prove nteresting to our readers as well as gratify? ing to the members of the association : The amount of insurance in force at the close el' 1871 was $52,817,446, showing an in? crease for the year ol" $7,191,706. The assets were $3,613,153 50. showing an Increase In this Item of over a million of dol? ara from the business of 1871. The income during the year was $2,276, 164 36. The cash paid to beneficiaries of deceased policy holders was $390,174 68, and the dlvi iends returned to policy-holders amounted to 5289.767 46. The president of Ihe association takes cognizance of a somewhat demoralized coa? lition of the insurance business for which he accounts by the general scarcity of money and the dishonorable course adopted by many companies who circulate defamatory articles reflecting on their competitors. This part ol' his subject he sums up with tbe following :au-tlc remarks: "As tbe business becomes more difficult to obtain, this intense strife' [-rows fiercer, and charges ol mismanagement ure hurled unsparingly by the companies and their agents at each other. It is a matter ol surprise that men who are entrusted with the management of insurance companies cannot see that ibis disreputable course must eventu? ally demoralize the business generally, and necessarily recoil on themselves." This ls some common sense, and we fear that the reflection on the shallow Judgments of men who think they are increasing lue pop? ularity of their own companies by heaping odium on other institutions, proves that many of our Insurance companies have men to guide their destinies who fall to see their duties. This association has been made a special target for the envenomed shafts of the envi? ous and malicious lu the business, but lt has bravely withstood all attacks, and now sur? veys its assailants from tbe proudest position ever attained in the same time by any corpo? ration of Its class lo the world. As a result of one of these malignant attacks, the report of his investigation into the condition and affairs ot the company by the Hon. Wylljs King, superintendent of tne insurance depart? ment ot Missouri, is given by President Brit? ton to the policy-holders and the public. The Investigation by Mr. King, as set forth in the report before us, may be summed up by Baying ll was searching and exhaustive, and Its result is eminently satisfactory. Oo the whole, this report of ihe Life Associa? tion of America for 1871 ls characterized bv the Fame open, fearless exhibition ol Its affairs which have characterized Its management from the beginning, and which in a great meas? ure accounts for its success. It gives results uever parallelled by any similar Institution In the world. It has overtaken In Hs race for bulslnessits oldest competitors, and ls now, be? yond doubt, one of the loremost Hie Insurance companies in the West.-St. Louis Ripublican. IF ANT OSE knows your firm to be the best In your particular Une everybody becomes your good and willing reference, and ever body's friend, who had thought ol going to some rival house because he knows not ot you, will, on speaking of his determination, have your name pronounced to him with co rn m eu J i tlon. In fact, the man who is thoroughly ad? vertised must continue lo thoroughly adver? tise; but having once made bis name a house? hold word he receives much gratuitous adver? tising from ihe great public, always desirous of helping those who have plainly shown that they need no help. Tf?E OLD WORLD'S NEWS. GIl.tS'D DRESS REHEARSAL OF THE BATTLE OF DORKING. Things In France and Spain. LONDON*, April 2. The grand military review took place at Brighton yesterday. Immense crowds wit? nessed the manouvres, which were conduct? ed on a large scale and were rendered more than usually Interesting by a rehearsal of the battle of Dorking.

The army of de? fence, being largely reinforced, took the offen? sive, under General Horsford, and attacked the Invaders with success, although the latter drove through Horslord's right centre and created great confusion for awhile.

On other shelves along tbls walt are attractively displayed a choice assortment of perfumes, pomades and extracts, prepared by Tao ?andt & Pollock, Philadelphia, and other well known Northern houses, or Imported direct from France and Germany. The walls of the store are thickly hung with the elaborate and artistic show cards published by this house, and which are now familiar to the public. In cc-iEmon with other manufacturing establishments in this Une, Messrs. Dowie, Moise A Davis find it to their interest to issue beautiful show cards, and some of their pictures and trade-marks are particularly striking. The trade-mark adopted for the Sumter Bitters ls a fine view of Fort Sumter, with the Confederate colors flying from the flagstaff. For Moise's fever and ague pills, the Arm Issues a handsome painting on g!ass, which ls a sort o? allegory, and represents a hideous crocodile-flt type of malarial disease-defeated and crushed down to the unwholesome depths of his native swamp by the weight of a gigantic pill pres? sing down upon his back. The next door ls devoted to THE MANUFACTURING DEPARTMENT, and to the supply o? drugs In open packages from which td make up wholesale orders. On this Aoor are manufactured all the long list of preparatioos of which this firm are the sole proprietors. Of thuee the most important ls the Sumter Bitters, which is made in six bar? rels from the various aromatic and bitter herbs, and other ingredients of which lt is composed, and then pumped up into a barrel supported overhead which forms the main reservoir of the manufactured article. From this barrel it is drawn off Into bottles by a simple and ingenious device. A .large table t near the reservoir is covered wilh about an hundred bottles, standing upright and un? corked, and from the reservoir depends a long rubber tube vrltli a slender nozzle and stop-cock, which the workman passes from one bottle to another, holding it perhaps for six or seven seconds over each, and Ailing the whole lot with great rapidity. These bottles are then labelled and wrapped np, while another lot of bottles on a second table are being filled, and by this ing?nions process two workmen are enabled to fill and prepare for market about ten gross of bottles per day. A similar degree of ingenuity ls displayed in a dozen other labor-saving contrivances in this department, and indeed the whole esta? blishment is systematically and admirably ar? ranged, and Its internal mechanism is like clock-work. Above this floor ls another one devoted exclusively to the large stock of empty glassware which ls kept for use and for sale. Here are bottles of all possible shapes and sizes, from the minute receptacles which the homceopathtsts use for their microscopic preparations np to the ' five-gallon jars and demijohns, together with measuring glasses, tunnels and all the other mysterious shapes of glassware with which the shop of the apothe? cary or the laboratory of the chemist are sup? plied. Above this again, the fourth and last floor of the establishment, ls stored with the endless variety of wooden and paper boxes, of all styles and sizes, used in putting up the medicines manufactured by the house, or In packing goods for transportation. This concludes our hasty glance at this most complete establishment. It only remains to be said that THE TRADE OF THIS HOUSE is Immense, and affords a gratifying indication ol the business Importance of our city. The establishment ls one of the largest of its kind south of New Tork, and has very extensive business connections in both the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Tennessee. The members of the Arm have all had long and practical acquaintance with the drug business, and are recognized by every member of the mercantile community as gentlemen of in? tegrity, shrewdness and ability. The eminent success to which they have attained has been but the natural and inevitable result of their indomitable perseverance and energy, their inflexible integrity, their judicious and liberal use of advertising, and every other effective means of making their business known, and their steady determination to place their es? tablishment at the head of Us class in this sec? tion of the country. Their prosperity bas been of their own making, and richly deserved, and tbat it may long continue ls the hearty wish of their hosts of business friends. Unction Sales-?mnxe ?arie. By~BWL^DEAJn:.
