The Difficulty with France.

Some of our contemporaries, in speaking of
the difficulty that has arisen between the
French Embassador and our Government, would
lead their readers to the belief that an eruption
with France is inevitable. This, however we
regard as rash and unqualified predication. In
our enlightened age, Governments do not usu-
ally appeal TO War, as the only alternative, for
the settlement Of the petty quarrels Of their
presentatives, and consequently, we have reason
TO expect that an amicable adjustment of all
Differences, in this case, will be speedily ef-
fected The New York Tribune in referring
to this subject, says;
We have no doubt that our Government has
acted with proper discretion. dignity, and firm
ness in the matter Of It's difference with the
French Embassador. We know that the lat
ter has received bis dismissal, and that our
Minister will of course be served with dupi-
cate of It at Paris. well: what Of il z" II
the salaries would stop in consequence of this
tlare-up, that would te something but we
don't apprehend any such extraordinary dsas
ter as that. Both Ministers will get their pay
tor the whole period that Diplomatic inter-
course may happen TO remain suspended and
after a while Mr.. Rives or some one else will
make his bow and gracious speech IN Paris, as
the accredited Representative Of the United
States, while welcome successor TO NJ. Pous-
sin will put his legs under the Presidents ma
hogany at Washington. There will be some
more dust kicked up, but our two Nations are
not going to war on question OF Diplomatic
etiquette. Louis Napoleon may hate us, but
he will not declare war, because he has no
means Of successfully assailing us while if he
wants Non-lntercourse, we will hold up both
hands for it, But he is not fool enough TO de-
sire that. The artisans of Paris and Lyons
hate BIN sufficiently already; Non Inter
course will secure for him the hatred Of their
masters as well 1t would not hurt ihis coun-
try in the least, but would he far more likely
to benefit it. All these considerations lie in
plain sight. France will not initiate Non
Intercourse-and certainly zoe need not. As
to war, Persia might as sensibIy declare war
against US. The idea is absurd.
We care not button which side loses or
wins in the stock-gambling operations of the
day !; but whoever expects war to grow out OF
this bree ze will very certainly be disappointed.

Commissioner, and Auditor, can all be uoted

need of cutting the ticket as heretofore.
As is generally the case, there appears to be
no disposition on the part of any one to make

Neglect of p0Iilical DgtieS,

It's no use, says the Daily News, crying over
split milk, and the truly wise avoid such mis-
haps. In the single county of Cumberland, in
Maine, four esentatves--suflicient to
change the character of the Legislature--were
lost to the Wings through inactivity. Every
one Of them might have been carried had eff
fort been made, for the highest majority against
them was but sleuen But no. There are some
who never awake until after an election. Then
they open their eyes in astonishment, and won
der at themselves for not having thought in
time of putting forth an effort. We have many
of the same class of men in our own State.
They despair Of success from the simple fact
tnat effort is required to achieve il and invi-
ting defeat through their own inactivity, involve
those who do work, and work hard, in the same
consequences with themselves. We trust, how
ever, that all these may be aroused, and that no
man shall have it to say after our election is
over, that his duty has been neglected. Let US
be warned in time-proft by experience, and
al go to IUork nOp.

Oua JAIL.--As will be seen by an adver-
tisement in another column, the two indlvldu-
ais who were last week immured in our coun-
ty ai, have already succeeded in making their
escape. This affords another instance of the
total neficiency of that building. in It's present
condition, to secure persons charged with Grim
inal offences. Prisoners, now, who are taken
into the front door, merely examine its inner
appearance, and acquaint themselves with the
manner of living within its walls, when, if
these do not coincide with their views Of social
life, they deliberately climb over the back Will
and seek other accommodations. Such state
of things should not long be suffered 10 exist
for if one offender after another thus easily
evades the law, crimes will soon be perpetrat
ed in this county with perfect impunity.

4 Distressing Gaze.

We find the following curious described
in the Dresden (Tenn.) Advertiser of the Goth
May:
On Monday last, lady about 40 years of age
presented herself to DR.. A. ID. Cutler, of this
place, for his advice and treatment. Her case
is strange and perplexing one. Language
would fail to convey anything like an adequate
idea of the suffering which she constantly en-
dures. She is reduced to a mere skeleton-is
never still; looks worn and haggard, and says
she is only kept alive by the pain and torment
which she endures. There is lire reptile or
something else Of a similar character, in her
stomach, and extending up into her throat
nearly to the roots of her tongue. Externally,
its movements are seen perfectly plain, and by
applying the hand TO her throat or stomach,
one can feel its motions distinctly, and cannot
use pressure enough to stop these motions.
When she does not eat her regular times its
contortions much worse, almost past endu-
rance. When she attempts TO eat she cannot
use a knife or fork, she has to use her hands to
cram the food into her throat in order to satisfy
its craving voracity-after her meals are over,
she is troubled less with its writhing and contor-
tions for a short time. She says she is always
'starving-seldom or never sleeps-she appears
on the verge Of the mania and has convulsions
at times The movements of this thing she de-
scribes as worse than the cutting Of knife.
By pressing down the back part Of her tongue
so as to open the upper part of her throat, Por-
ton of the head Of this thing has been distinctly
seen, resembling in appearance the end OF the
head of an eel.

FATAL CAsuALTY-Jacob Bodine, of McIn-
tire township, Lycomlng county, and son of
John Bodine, formerly of Northumberland
county, came to sudden death, on the 7th in
slant. While at the house of Henry Apker,
he desired to try an old State rifle which Mr..
A. had in his possession. in order to see how it
would do for target shooting. The lock of this
rifle, it appears, was somewhat out OF order,
and subjected to go off at halfcock. The de-
ceased, not aware of this, struck the butt end
OF it with considerable force on the ground,
which caused the gun to 60 of, the ball enter
ing the right temple, close to the eye, and
passing up through the Uranium, caused in
stant death.

NEGRO REPUBLIC DECLARED AN EMPIRE
An arrival at Philadelphia from St. Domin-
go brings the highly important intelligence
that the Republic OF Hayti has become an En-
pire. On the Goth of August, after some un-
meaning ceremonies, Soulouque, the President
of the Republic, was declared Emperor; the
Legislative Council of the Island having con.
ferred that dignity upon him On that day,
he, with his wife and children, arrived at the
Catholic Church, at Port au Prince, where
Soulouque, aping the style of Napoleon, placed
upon his own head the imperial crown, and ne
and his wife were declared Emperor and Em-
press.

INTERESTING FRoM FLoRIDA.-The National
Intelligencer of the 2lst inst, states that the
War Department have information from Gen.
Twiggs, that an interview had taken place be-
tween an officer of our Government and some
of the leading men of the Florida Seminoles,
which resulted most satisfactorily. 1t has been
ascertained that the outrage committed on In
dian river and Pease creek were committed by
party of five young Indians, one of whom was
n refugee, who thought that he might escape
from Justice by embroiling his people in war
with the United States. The Seminoles dis
claimed all connexion with the perpetrators Of
the outrages, and stated that Immediately after
the offence was committed on Indian river an
attempt was made to capture the offenders, but
that they were not taken until after the second
outrage The offenders are in custody,
however. and will in due time be delivered to
the proper authorities meeting between the
Head Chief of the SeminoIes and Gen. Twiggs
was appointed to take place at Charlotte Harbor
on the Is inst, and we may presume therefore,
that the interview has already occurred. That
the Florida Indians are peaceably disposed is
now considered beyond doubt.

HIS INNOCENCE MADE MANIFEsT--About SIX
years ago, Mr.. Augustine Kennerly, the City
Collector of ST Louis, was charged with being
a delaulter TO the amount of $1,000. lie pro-
tested his innocence, said it must be owing TO
an error in auditing his accounts, and request
ed that Committee of Councils should ex-
anime his books. This was done, but no error
detected-leaving il manifest that he was
defauIter. Disgraced and ruined, Mr. K. was
dismissed from his office.
Recently the present Auditorhad occasion TO
overhaul an old day book, where he found that
$4,000 was marked posted, though no posting
was made This was an error which the CON-
mittee and MIR. K bad been unable TO ferret
out Thus it will be seen that, instead of Mr..
Kennerly being detaulter. the city owes him
$1,000, with six years interest, which is but
poor recompense for his blighted reputation,
though it must be indeed qualification to him
to make his honesty manifest even at tins late
day.
