A RECORD GOOD TO LOOK. Urox. The Cincinnati Euqidrer says: ''The Democratic party was in power dur? ing the most prosperous years the country has ever known. Tho honor and oredit of tho Government were maintained and upheld at home and abroad. By its broad liberal policy immigrants were encouraged to mako this country their home, and become its citizens. State after State was added to the ropublic. Prosperity and freedom went hand in hand under the shield of constitutional liberty. American pre-eminence among the eldest and greatest na? tions of the world. No Federal tax gatherer was seen among the people. No bastile darkened the faco of the land. No military satraps were set up superior to the civil power. The Union was preserved by forbearance and kindness and compromise. The General Government was felt only in tho blessings it couferred upon tho people. And yet we are told that the Democratic party is tho enemy of the country, ana should not be trust? ed with tho administration." "ANOTHER REIJEL OUTBADE."-An official report of the late disturbance in Opelousa, La., states that two .whites and five negroes were killed, few being wounded. The whole trouble is attributed to the indigna? tion of the negioes at an assault, by three men, on the white editor ot a radical newspaper, who had pub? lished offensive articles. The editor, Bentley, was caned, and the planta? tion negroes at once . armed them? selves, in large bodies, and proceed? ed to Opelousa, where they refused to disperse, and a fight ensued, with the fatal results ubove stated. The negroes had to be overpowered by tho civil authorities. Of course this ia set down by tho radicals as another rebel outrage. MR. EDITOR: I notice iu your issue of yesterday, an advertisement of a grnud concert, by Master Ferdinand Carri, and others. Thio promises to bo the richest musical treat of the season. Muster Carri's performance upon that most difficult of all instru? ments, the violin, is truly wonderful. Ho is now only thirteen years of age; is so very small as scarcely to be able to hold his violin, and yet his brilliant execution and exquisite expression is the admiration of all who have heard him. The most difficult movements upon the violin-the staccato, pizzi? cato and harmonics-he executes w ith a grace and finish astonishing for a child of his age. He will be as? sisted by competent musicians, and will, I am sure, give a concert which will please all who admire tho higher order of music. AMATEUR. How TO TEL ii A STRANGER IN NEW YORK.-If you are ever at a loss to tell a stranger from a citizen, watch him when he attempts to oross Broad? way. A mau "native and to the manor boru" will walk across as de? liberately as he would any other street,, but with ?trangers it is differ? ent. When you see a man standing on the curb-stone, gazing frantically up and down the great thoroughfare until he sees an opening, ana thon dashing through it as if a sherill" was at his heels, you can make up your mind he comes from "furrin parts." Broadway crossing is the bane of a countryman's existence in the city. To avoid all trouble, however, they should register their names at head? quarters, and probably Mr. Kennedy would furnish guides for them by the day. Telegrams from Florenoe state that the King of Italy has officially recog? nized the republic of Mexico as ruled by tho Presidency of Juarez. Xl*? I*?tc Eartliqunkc In Clilli-Let? ter from t Uv Vlilted State? Consul nt Valparaiso. The following ia published by di? rection of the Department of State: UNITED STATES CONSULATE, VALPARAISO, September 3, 1868. Son. William IL Seward. Secretary of Slate. ? Sm: I havo the honor to enolose to yon slips out from the newspapers of this city, giving a detailed account of the disaster caused by the terrible earthquake on the coast on the 18th of August, extending from the Chin? cha Islands, in tho North, to Lota, in the South-a di?tance of moro than 2;000 miles-and extending Xor into the interior in Peru, almost en? tirely destroying the city of Arequi? pa, of 20,000 inhabitants. Singu? larly and fortunately no damage was done at this port, tho only thing ob? servable being a heavy swell of somo ton foot rolling into tho bay just at snn-set. Several placea on tho coast South of Valparaiso havo been entirely swept away-not a stouo left upon another to mark tho spot whero they stood. So soon ns tho disasters at thc North were mude known here by tele? graph, a public meeting was convoued and the sum of $10,000 subscribed to purchase and forward provisions to the destitute. Large contributions in clothing were also made. Con? gress, being in session, appropriated c>50,000 for tho same object. Being at Santiago, at tho time, I tendered tho Government tho uso of tho United States steamer Tuscarora, then in tho harbor, to transport those contributions to tho distressed, which was gladly accepted; but, subse? quently, it was found that other ves? sels were at hand better adapted to the service, and tho Tuscarora was not used. This terrible and wide-spread dis? aster has cast a deep gloom over everybody, and business for tho time is entirely suspended, save in tho effort to relievo tho unfortunate. Tho business houses of this city, having generally branches or agen? cies at the several ports destroyed, suffer largely. A largo number of vessels in tho merchant service havo been lost. Nearby all tho towns on tho const North are supplied with fresh water from tho interior by dis? tillation, and as ali of tho apparatus for distillation has been swept awuy at all the ports, great suffering must havo been experienced before aid could reach them. I have tho honor to bc, your obedient servant. A. W. CLARKE, United States Consul. IMPORTANT TO LIQUOR DEALERS. The following regulation has been adopted by the Internal Revonuo Department, relative to distilled spirits on hand, r>n the 1st of No? vember: Under the provision.", of section 57, it will bo the duty of every person owning or having in his possession, on the first day of November next, any distilled spirits intended for sale, exceeding in quantity fifty gallons, and not then in bonded warehouse, to immediately make re tn rn thereof (on form 1201 to the collector of the District in which such spirits may be held, stating the number ?nd kind of packages, the marks and brands thereon, the place whero tho same are stored, and the quantity as nearly as the samecan bc determined. Such return must include all tho spirits owned or held by the party making the same in the District. Any person owning or having in his possession such spirits and refusing to make such return, will forfeit tho same; and ali distilled spirits found after December 1, 18G8, in any c.?sk or package, coutaiuiug moro than five gallons, without having thereon the marks and stamp required by the Act of July 20, 18GS, will be for? feited. NEGRO RIOT AT SHREVEPORT. THREE CITIZENS KILLED.-TWENTY NEGROES KILLED AND WOUNDED. -On Wednesday last, a serious difficulty occurred on tho Texas road, a short diutnnco from the town of Shreve? port, resulting in tho death of threo white men and nineteen negroes. Tho following facts we have gathered from various persons, who have ar? rived here since last Saturday night: A driver of a wagon, being intoxi? cated, fired his rovolver in the air, and iminediate'y afterwards was seized by a party of negroes, who happened to be in tho immediate vicinity, and carried to a grove near by, whero he was bound with ropes to a tree. Upon tho suggestion of a few clear-headed negroes of tho party, in a few minutes tho man was released. At this momont a few negroes from an adjoining plantation came up, and, without a word of pro? vocation, fired upon and killed Mr. James Browuleo and Messrs. Ogdon and Thompson, citizens of Caddo Parish. Upon hearing of this state of affairs, tho citizens Of Shreveport turned out en masse and proceeded to tho sceno of the outrage. About nineteen negroos, supposed to have been ringleaders in the affair, were killed, having first, from their quar? ters, fired upon the citizens aa they came down the road. When the steamer Right Way loft Shreveport, last Thursday, everything was quiet. [New vrieans Crescent, Oct. 6. Aots Passed at the Late Sealion of the Legislature.
