French BLocKApE-Thc French papers states that
the Blockade of Calao by the Chllan squadron
raised in regard to the French vessels. The French
commander there Capt Vllleneuve wrote to the Chi
liam commodore that he should consider the blockade
war on neutrals and that any he would regard
the stoppage Of French vessel declaration Of war !!
The logic is deemed in the London Times, quite in
opposition to that used by the French Blockadng Squad
ron the other side Of America in the Gulf Of Mexico
and off Bucnos Ayres The Cbilian commodore knock
ed under and exempted French vessels The London
Times says the contrast in rhe laws OF blockades as
laid down by the French Pacific Squadron and those Of
the Aartc Squadrons. present at least vast deal OF
non chaance and indifference to public opinion in
spec consistency Besides Chill and Peru had declared
war which was not true as Mexico and Buenos Ayres
towards France. The Times considers the blockade of
the Mexican by France wholly unjsst6abe and
indefcnsblc in any point of view"

A writer in the Belfast Journal, who, from his
Billingsgate style, and low, vulgar epithels shows
himself to be Of the Fanny Wright school Of poll
tics is out upon in his usual Loco-foco spirit for
recommending the Washington Madisonian 10 the
support and patronage of consistent republicans In
this State as a fearless and correct expounder of
JefIersonian Republican principles. His ideas Of
republicansm also those OF the Sub-Treasuryites,
are very plain and conclusive. He contends that
Van Buren, is the infallibe oracle Of Democracy
That measure acknowledged by the party TO be
federal in 1884, has only TO receive Van Burens re-
commentator to become republican; and his whole
hog followers obey the word Of com and to about
face" Now we rejoice that there many who are
unwilling to adopt the Journals standard and test of
Republicanism. Men who think and act for them
selves and are not prepared to admit into the time
honored creed of Democracy doctrine so AFFECT
and degrading in its tendency. II is clearly demon
strated that Martin Van Buren, has proved recreant
to the principles upon which he was elevated 10 Of
fce-that he has embraced federalism in its most
glaring FORM in recommending and urging upon
the people with perseverance, worthy Of a better
cause, the project of great Government Bank,
thereby enabling the Executive toperpeuate its pow
err in spite of the lamentations of the people. For
this act, alone, think he has forfeited all claim 10
the support of consistent Jefersonan republicans -

ANTHRACITE CoAL-The New York Courier Of
Yesterday, has the following "On Friday last family
named Allen residing in Barclay street, near Broad
way, consisting of mother, two young children, and
an elder sister were near meeting sudden death from
the inhalation of the gas Of anthracite coal The ladies'
were sitting in close room, in which was stove for
burning hard coal, and by unaccountahle acct
dent the fue, intended to carry off the gas, became
closed and in consequence, the noxous air filed
the room. Without feeling any previous inconvenience,
the ladies' were suddenly overpowered, and fell nearly
senscless to the floor where in all human probability,
they would soon have expired had it not been for the
promp, and praiseworhy conduct Of the elder sister.
who mustered strength enough to reach the door and
cry for assistance. This was Immediately afforded, and
after much difficulty all the sufferers were restored to
life and consciousness"

A dreadful accident occurred TO an individual al
Harrisburgh, Pa, on Saturday last. While the
Wings were celebrating the political victory in New
York, the administration men received intelligence
that the democracy had carried Delaware, and it
became of course essential to gorify so immense an
event BY burning little gunpowder. A Mr.. VIM,
Markward brought out the big gun for the purpose.
After loading 1t, Il was ascerancd that the can
non was doubly charged, and Mr. Markward,s com
panions in arms refused to asss, in firing il off being
a little afraid Of the consequences and not having
military gumption enough, it seems, TO draw the
charge Whereupon Mr.. NJ, more valiant than his
compairios, or possibly better democrat deter
mined to put fire to the torch hole himself, He did
so, and the gun not only went of, but came very
near taking the arilleriS with it, 1t split 10 pieces,
and broke Mr. Ms right leg besides doing serious
damage to his right jaw, There were hopes, how
ever, of his recovery. Now the important event
over which this patriotic gentleman made meat Of
fcring of his right leg and his dexter mandible was
hardly worth such an expenditure of personal pro-
rerly" for after all, little Delaware has gone all
Whig-saving her single mem Der Of Congress, who
in consequence of some family misunderstanding
among the Wings, lost his election by a majority Of
somewhere about twenty voteS-a Loco-foco triumph
hardly worth breaking a mans leg and jaw for

CONSERVATIVES GOING AHEAD IN NORM CAROLINA.
Gov. Dudley. of North Carolina, in his recent
sage to the Legislature has taken strong ground against
the Sub-reasury scheme. The hopes which the Loco
focos Of the South built upon Gov. Dudleys presumed
friendship for the Honest Nulfer," and which. they
supposed, might influence the Governors decision on
that scheme have, unfortunately for them been blasted
by his manly action.
Il having been ntimated that Col Joyner, the Pres-
dent Of the State Senate had expressed himself iavora
bly, TO the Sub treasury in order to secure the vote Of
Mr. Carsons, the Senator from Rutherford county,
Col has addressed letter the editor Of the Raleigh
Register denying the truth Of the statement He had
no communication with Mr.. Carsons previous to the
election and he is decidedly hostile to the Subeasury
He has doubt of the constitutional power OF Con-
gress establish Bank Of the United States but at
present does advocate the establishment OF such
institution, because the States have generally made
large additions to their banking capital and he IS de-
that The fullest and airest trial be green TO the

Of such remarkable infatuation has occurred. As

NEW HAMPSHIRE.

A recent Convention Of the Wings Of this Stale
recommended Gen. Harrison TO the National Con
vention, as a Candidate for the Presidency. We
copy the following letter from the Boston Atlas as
"signs Of the times" u
... CoScoRp, N. H., Nov %. 1898
Dear SRI have just returned from the Convention
of Democratic Wing Delegates from the several towns
composing this Council District, assembled at Eppng
nominate candidate for Congress in place OF John
Porter, ESQ who declined. The Convention very
fully attended, and The best feeling and spirit prevailed
The committee appointed on the subject, nominated
Hon Ichabod Bartlett Of Portsmouth, which nominal
ton was unanimously approved by the Convention
Resolutions Of spirited kind were then presented and
adopted, among which was one expressing decided
preference for William Henry Harrison, the next
candidate for President Of the United States, subject
the decision of the National Convention The approval
Of this resolution unanimous and enthusiast -
Under this flag go forth battle with strong conf
dencc and almost positive assurance Of victory the
name of Harrison, confident, will bring ac-
cession of strength to ranks which neither of the
other distinguished individuals named for this high office
could do for this plain that political prejudces
long INDUCED, will operate to the disadvantage Of one
while such preudlces exist with respect to the other.
Could have consulted our own individual preferences
alone this great question: the voice Of the Democra-
tic Wings OF New Hampshire would have been strongly
expressed support of her favoyIte but is,
the "greatest good to the greatest number should be
our motto.
p S | would observe that l56 delegates participated
in the deliberations Of the Convention representing 35
towns Of about 40.
The account Of the dongs Of the Convention are in
the Portsmouth Journal paper which stating its
preference for another candidate yet acknowledges that
the manifestations Of popular sentiment in favor of Gen
Harrison too strong TO be mistaken, and that he is
cmphacaly the candidate of the people, both of New
Hampshire and the Union.
