SiS Fbancisco, October 21—There was a heaw earthquake at eight o’clock this morning. The motion was from the east and west. The damage is confined to the lower part of the below Montgomery street, among the old buildings built on made ground. The Cus- ,om House, which was badly shattered by the earthquake of 1865, is now considered un safe and officials have removed to the Inter- aal’Revenue Building. Business in. the ilwer part of the city is suspended, the, Streets are thronged with people, and great excitement prevails. The parapet walls and chimneys of many buildings fell, causing some loss of life. The damage will not exceed one million dollars. The shock was severe at Oakland, damag- ing many buildings, and the earth opened in several places, emitting a sulphurous smell. The Court House at San Leundro was demol ished, killing one person. The earthquake was also very severe at San Jose, where many buildings were damaged. From Washington. Washington, October 22.—"The Revenue Supervisors have appointed John Legro for llainc, New Hampshire and Vermont; A. P. Fulton for Pennsylvania.

The amount of Revenue to-day was $290,- [From the Macon Telegraph.] Th« Governor’s Proclamation Suspend ing the Tax Qualification for Voters. Our yesterday’s paper contained an edito rial paragraph calling the attention of tax- collectors in Georgia to the .Constitutional requirement that every voter shall have paid his taxes for the preceding year, and to the importance to the revenue of the Slate and county, that the tax-collectors should he present at each poll, with; their list of de faulters, in order to collect on the spot, the taxes due from delinquents before they are permitted to vote. The same number of the paper, however, , contained a telegraphic synopsis of a procla mation issued yesterday by Gov. Bullock, suspending that provision of the Constitu tion, and instructing the tax-collectors to suspend the collection of all poll taxes until the next regular session of the General As sembly of this State, agreeably to section sev enty of the code of Georgia, which declares as,follows: “The Governor may suspend the collection of the taxes, or any part thereof, due the State, until the meeting of the next General Assembly, hut not longer: nor shall he other wise interfere with the collection thereof.” The Governor has, therefore, it seems, seized upon a dispensing power, conferred by the Legislature to enable him to relieve the people in times of great pecuniary distress, in order to defeat a Constitutional voting quali fication which he himself helped to incorpo rate in that instrument. The Constitutional Convention, as thor oughly in the interests of the Radical party os it was, balked at the absurd idea of mak ing a great voting population Of ninety-five thousand negroes who should not contribute a cent to the public revenue! Referring, therefore, to the Journals of the Convention, pages 266 and 282, it wiU be seen that this provision originated with Messrs. Akerman and McCay—the very chiefs among the Radi cals. It owed its inception to the plain fact that this mass of negro voters were without property, and even the insignificant poll tax of one dollar prescribed by the Constitution could_not therefore be collected without mak ing it a condition precedent to the exercise of the suffrage. Surely if the suffrage were held to be of any value at all, it would command from the negro the poor pittance of one dollar as his contribution to the support of the govern ment. But as to the actual fact, as far as we are advised, so small a number of poll taxes have been paid that failure might be recorded as a general return. The negroes, as a mass, re fuse to pay taxes, and the attempt to collect them from employers -by process of garnish ment, has bred infinite trouble-and vexation. Now, upon the first occasion in which this Constitutional provision can be made to ope- race and to demand of the negro his poll tax as the price of the suffrage, the Governor by proclamation seeks to contravene and circum vent the plain and reasonable provisions of the Constitution demanding that the voter shall pay his tax before voting. And observe that it is only upon the “poll tax” that collectors are directed to suspend collection. All other taxes must come witli- the Constitutional provision. The man .

Seaernl dispatches from SanErancisco say that the earthquake damage there will not exceed three hundred thousand dollars. who owes a property tax must pay it before he can vote; but he who owes only a poll tax is exempt. The object and effect of the proc lamation are too plain to call for any com ment. The point the Governor makes that the taxes levied under the Constitution and laws of 1865, which levied two dollars poll tax, are sought to be enforced imder the Constitu tion of 1S68, might be plead with greater plausibility if the suspension of taxes was general and impartial; but if the sanctions of the Constitution of 1868 are to be applied in one case, why not in both, unless the object be to discourage one class ot. voters and to open the door without obstruction to another? f******* Now we will not entertain the question whether Gov. Bullock’s proclamation, under force of a mere statute, can supersede or sus pend a constitutional provision. There can be but one answer, and that in the negative. Next, whether if it could do so—a mere sus pension of tax collecting, agreeably to the or der, can qualify a voter, who by the terms of the’Constitution must “have paid all taxes which may have been required of him, and which he may have had an opportunity of paying agreeably to law, for the year next preceding the election.” We think the proposition itself suggests its only answer. But pracUvaUy w e assume the Governor’s order will set aside the Constitu tion, and abolish, for a time, a qualification so wise and reasonable in itself that no man can say aught against it and every' man is compelled to allow it should be enforced! But we ask the Governor to consider well tho demoralizing tendency and effect of his pro clamation—the wretched precedent it sets of. the exercise of a dispensing power by the Governor as great as ever was claimed by the Eighth Henry or First Charles—a power to dis pense with fundamental law! We pray him, fn aU respect and kindness, to recall a pro clamation fraught with such fatal precedent to the interest of good government in Geor gia and the liberties of the people.

Hirst, candidate for President .Judge of the District Court, who has been counted out by an alleged majority of 25 against him, by the Radical wire workers and manipulators. The following is a copy of the protest which the ex-Queen Isabella addressed to the Span ish nation, as reported in our cable tele grams: To the Spaniards:—A conspiracy, of which there does not exist, so to speak, any exam ple among other nations of Europe, has pre cipitated Sx>ain into the horrors of anarchy. The land and naval forces, which the coun try supported generously, and whoso services I have always been ready to recompense, for getting glorious traditions and violating the most sacred oaths, turn round against the nation and prepare for it a period of mourn ing and desolation. The shouts of rebels raised in the bay of Cadiz and re-echoed in a few provinces by a portion of the army, re sounded in the hearts of the immense ma jority of Spaniards as the first murmurings of an approaching tempest which places in peril thi? interests of religion, the ancient laws of legitimacy and of right, and the in dependence and honor of Spain. The la mentable series .of defections, the acts of in credible disloyalty which have occurred in so short a space of time, wound my pride as a Spaniard still more than my dignity as a Queen. Let not the great foes of authority themselves, in their insensate dreams, think that the public power which emanates from so lofty a source can be conferred, modified or suppressed by the intervention of mate rial force acting under the blind impulse of a debauched army. If the towns and the rural districts, ceding L° the first impression of violence, submit for a moment to the yoke of the insurgents, soon will the public sentiment, wounded in all it holds most noble and dear, reassert itself in order to show to the world that, thanks to heaven, eclipses of reason arid of honor are quite temporary in Spain. Until that period ar rives, I, as legitimate Queen, have, after con sideration, and taking serious counsel, deemed right to seek in the 'States of an august ally the security necessary to act in this difficult conjuncture as becomes my position as mon arch, and tho duty devolving on me of trans mitting intact to my son my rights protected by the law, recognized and sworn to by the nation, and, finally, strengthened by thirty- five years of sacrifices, vicissitudes and tender affection. While entering upon foreign soil my heart and eyes incessantly turned towards that which is mine and my children’s country. I hasten to draw up my explicit and solemn protest, before God aud man, declaring that the superior force to which I yield in quitting my kingdom cannot prejudice my rights in their integrity, nor weaken nor compromise them in any degree; neither can they be affected in the slightest manner by the acts of the revolutionary government, and still less by the resolutions of the assemblies which will bo formed necessarily' under the pressure of demagogic fury aud under condi tions of manifest violence over the people’s consciences and wishes. Our fathers sus tained a long and successful struggle on be half of the religious faith and the independ- ' ence of Spain. The present generation has labored without relaxation in order to connect all that was great and heroic in past .ages with the seeds of what is healthy and fruitful in modern times. The revolution, the im placable enemy of traditions and legitimate progress, opposes evety principle which con stitutes the living force, the soul and the manhood of the Spanish nation. Liberty', in | its unbounded expansion and in all its mani festations, attacking Catholic unity', monarchy and the legal exercise of authority, disturbs families, destroys the sacredness of the do mestic hearth, and extinguishes virtue and patriotism. If you think that the crown of Spain, worn by a Queen who has had the good fortune to associate her name with the political and so cial regeneration of the State, is the symbol of those tutelary principles, remain faithful, as I hope you will, to your oaths and your convic tions; allow to pass over as a scourge this rev olutionary vortex in which ingratitude, fel ony and ambition are acting, and continue in the assurance that I shall neglect nothing in order to hold in safety, even during misfor tune, that emblem without which there is not for Spain either a memory to attract or a hope to support her: The insane pride of a few men agitates and, for the moment, over whelms the entire nation, produces perturba tion in consciences and anarchy in society. In my heart there does not 1 exist even any room for hatred of this small action. I should fear that by contact with so despicable a senti ment the profound tenderness might be weak ened which I feel for the loyal men who have exposed their lives and shed their blood in defence of the throne and of public order, and for all Spaniards who look on with sorrow and affright at the spectacle of a triumphant insurrection, which is a shameful page in the history of our civilization. In the noble country whencel now address you, and wher ever I may be, I shall' support without dis couragement the misfortnnes of my well-be loved Spain, which are alBO mine. If I had nothing else to sustain me—among many other examples—than that of the most vene rable of sovereigns, the model of resignation aud courage, be also environed with tribula tions and bitter enemies, I should find strength in the loyalty of my subjects, the justice of my cause, and, above all, in the power of Him who holds in His hand the fate of empires. , „ The Spanish monarchy, after fifteen cen turies of struggles, victories, patriotism and greatness, cannot sucumb iff fifteen days ot broken oaths, unfaithfulness _and treason. Let ns have faith in. the future; the glory of the Spanish people has been always (bat ot its kings; the misfortnnes of the latter have ever been shared in by the nation. In the reso lute and patriotic desire to maintain right, lecritimatism and honor, your minds and et- forts will always be in accord with the ener getic decision and maternal effection of your Queen, Isabella.

North. Washington, October 9, 1868. Editors Macon Telegraph: As yon see'by this communication, I am at the great head quarters of Radicalism in America. You know I started on invitation to visit the State of Maine, but since arriving here and seeing what chance a colored man has in the North, I have concluded to return home. And now I want to show my colored friends what they may expect on their travels in the Radical States. I arrived at Atlanta just before day. It was a cpld, damp morning, and I was a stranger in a .strange place. I asked some one where 1 could find a place to stay until light, and was pointed to the National Hotel, the head quarters of Gov. Bullock aud the Radical party in Atlanta. After all the passengers were through re gistering, I,went up to the clerk, pulled off my hat and asked him could I stand by his stove till daylight. He looked at mo. saw that I was colored, and replied: i4 No, no, this is no nigger hotel—we have no negroes here but a few waiters, and if we could do any bet ter would soon get shed of them.” I told him I did not ask to stop at his hotel, but I was a stranger and only wanted to stand by the stove in the office till it was light. He said, “go out and stand by the door, and when the porter gets through with his baggage he will show you a nigger hotel.” I left immediately and was pointed to the United States hotel, which they told me was the Democratic headquarters, and was kept by a Southern man. I asked the clerk there could I stand by his stove till it was light? and he said, “ Oh, yes, my good fellow, and take them carpet-bags and trunks and make you up a bed. You can get a right good nap before daylight.” And here you see the dif ference between a Southern man, as has been used to us all his life, and the Northern man who is hot used to us and does not like ns. I left Atlanta on the nine o’clock morning train for this place, and all the way along I met with the same difference; whenever I spoke to a Southern white man, he gave me a kind answer, but I could tell-a Northern man not more from his looks than the way he treated the colored people. When I got to Washington, I was tired out and wanted a dram. So I went to a bar-room, as I would do in Macon, and asked for one. The bar-keeper looked at me—raised his eyes and said, says he, “No niggers are allowed to drink at this bar.” Says 1, “I axes your par don—I am a stranger, a travelling about and PROCLAMATIONS BY THE GOVERNOR.

Says he, “Thar s a perlieeman at the door, and if you give him the money he will buy one for yon. Then I went to tho door, and pulled oft" my hat and stated what I wanted. Says he, give me fifty cents, which 1 did. Then says he, you stafid hero. Then he went in and soon brought out a little whiskey in a tumbler, and I drank it in the street. Then I stopped a while to see if there was any change coming, and he says, says he, what is yon waiting for ? Says I a little change, if you please. Says he—change hell—we don't wait on nig ger for nothing up here. Then I next encountered a gentleman in a high place, holding an office of both trust and honor under the United States Government, and i assure you he talked very plain. Says he, we Northern people have no use for ne groes. We are willing you should be free and have freed you, hut as for yonr equaliiy no tions, they are all stuff and nonsense. Do you reckon I would take yon inside my house ? Do yon reckon you could sit at my table ? No, yon could liot come inside my gate. Yon negroes must learn to keep your place. The South is the best plaee for you to live in. If you come North yon will starve, for we have no place for yon here. These few anecdotes will tell you, my col ored friends, what the Northern sympathy for ns means. It is all a political hobby and there’s nothing in it. It won’t give you a place by the white man's file—or a morsel at his table—or a bit of whiskey in his bar room, or a kind word, except'he wants to use you. There’s more kindness for the negro among our old masters in the South, in a day, than there is ill a year among the peo ple up this way. The Southern white men are your, best friends.

We learn that there were suf ficient arms for 150 men.. The .negroes had evidently come to the hustings armed; for what purpose is not known. It would seem that these people have been led on to this by some fire-brands-among them, and even at this late day they fear to attend a political meeting of their own instigation unarmed, though what they.fear is difficult to see.

As to myself. I arn no longer anything, and I wish for nothing, bnt here is the Prince of the Asturias, whom I throw into your arms rand _confide to your race.

The latter, though too young to be conscious of the position, saw that something was going wrong, threw him self info the Queen’s arms, and wept bitterly. Isabella broke down at once, burst into tears, tore np the letter, and abandoned all idea of appealing to Espartero. “The TO RENT, ROOMS ON SECOND FLOOR WITH “ Detachment*, when necessary, ma3* be made to points iu the vicinity of each post, buf in no case, nor on any pretext whatever, will detachments be sent without a commissioned officer, who will bo fully in structed by ms post commander. «* The troops will he considered as in the field, and supplied with the necessary camp equipage ; the men to be famished with common tents if practicable, and if not practicable, with shelter tents. Commanding officers are permitted to hire quarters, temporarily, when it can be done for reasonable rates ; but this will not preclude the necessity of carrying tents, as the commands, m all cases, must be in readiness to move at the shortest notice, with all supplies required for their efficiency. “District commanders will instruct Post Common ders in their duties, and’ the relative position of the civil and military powers. They will impress on Post Commanders tnat they are to act in aid co-operation and in subordination to the civil author ities : that tuey are to exercise discretion and judgr ment. unbiased by political or other prejudices ; that their object auould bo exclusively to preserve the peace and npnold the law and order, and they must be satisfied eucu is the object of the civil officer calling on them for aid; that they must in all cases where time will permit, apply for instruction to superior au thority, but they must at all hazards preserve the peace, and not be restrained by technical points, when, in their conscientious judgment under the rules above set forth, it is their duty to act. Post Commanders fieing notffied of tho proposed holding of political meetings, may send an officer, and if necessary a de tachment, to watch the proceedings and see that the peace is preserved. “ To the people of the several States composing the Department, the Major General Commanding appeals that they will co-operate witk im and the civil au thorities in sustaining law and order, in preserving the peace in avoiding those scenes of riot and bloodshed, ‘ aud the wanton destruction of property and life, which has uilready, in some instances, been enacted in tne Department. He urges abstinence from all inflammatory and incendiary appeals to the passions; discountenancing the keeping open of liquor shops on days of political meetings and of elec tion ; the abstaining from carrying arms, and assert ing the individual right of construing laws by force of arms. No just cause is ever advanced by resort to violence. Let there be charity and forbearance among political opponents, whatever may be the result; let each 'good citizen determine that all who, under the law, have the nght to the ballot shall exercise it un disturbed. If there are disputed points of law, let them be referred to the Courts, and let not mobs or political duos, or other irresponsible bodies, construe and undertake to execute the law. This appeal is made in the earnest hope that the Major General Com manding can reiy on the good sense and correct judg ment of ttie mass of the people, and that he will not be compelled to resort to the exercise of the power with which he is entrusted, and which he will most reluctlantly employ. Bathe thinks it his duty to make, known, that so far as the power under his command will admit, he will not permit the peace to be broken, and that he will not be restrained in the conscientious discharge of his duty by technicalities of laws made when the present anomalous condition of affairs were neither anticipated or provided for.” a PRIVATE INSTRUCTOR FOR MAR RIED PERSONS or those about to be mamed, bStn male and female, in everything concerning the phvsiology and relations of our sexual system, ana the production and prevention of offspring, all the new discoveries never before given in the Ln&- lish language, by Wll.
