The FAINrrxG CANDrDATE.-Pike, for
merly Of this city, now in Kentucky, has ta-
ken It upon himself to excuse the (ainting OF
Gen. Pierce, and we accordingly, in justice
to that General, give the gist of the argu-
ment, it being the only one that has yet fal-
len under our observation. The F'dg says:
"In the first place, PAINTING is, according
to our best photographers, falling into a
s,ooon; failing, or losing strength. Iii is, with
some persons, caused by excessive bodily
pain; with others, 1t is caused by any sudden
emotion Of the mind, which may be calcu-
lated to shock the sensiblites of our nature
or overwhelm us with grief and anguish ;and
with large portion Of mankind, tits sort oil
diosy7crdey-a peculiar temper or disposition
Of body, not common to others"
After denying that Pierce was troubled
with "sort OF idioyncracy," the Flag adds
"But, as "all the world and the rest o
mankind" are liable to faint from loss o
blood, exclusive fatigue and excruciatine
pain, as well as from sudden emotions of tht
mind we are ledto believe that his Jointing
about which Whiggery has had 80 much t,
say, was caused by these latter causes com
bined, to wit: Fatigue, great bodily pain
and smldeh etrotion Of The mind,--any one
of which was sufficient to produce the result
and more especially the latter"
Especially tho latter" was the cause un
doultedly. We hardly know to which ough
to be given the most ctedit--the Boston
Post on liberalty, or the Kentucky F?dg oil
fainting. The argument in both cases, w
| submit to tho consideration ofonr Democrat

RAILROAD IRoH.-It is remarked by the
New York Times that the immense progress
OF road building in this country, is having a
sensible SC, effect on the price of foreign rails.
They have of late been rapidly advancing
until the last steamer brings quotations Of
IS 27s, Cd, to FL sterling free on shipboard
i3 Wales, and many contracts ahead at
these rates were declined. Our importations
it is well known have been settled for in
large measure by American bonds, and this
species Of barter is said to be on the increase.
But for this cause .the, rise IN the price might
be vastly important to our Iron furnaces; and
even as it is we are not without hope that it
VIII give new impetus to this important
branch OF Hume Manufacture. 1t is quite
certain tbatwe turn out superior rails, in all
mat relates to strength and durability; and
the experience fat least part of the old Rail-
way Companies using American iron, and
doing large and heavy yapspof sationi, is, that
it is much cheaper in the end at higher price.

A Rop. The quiet Of our city was disturbed
Yesterday by row at the crossing of Main and
Second streets, which at one time threaten
ed to end seriously: but by the vigilance of
our officers, it was quelled without any fight.
One individual was arrested and looked up
for throwing stone in the crowd. The real
cause of the difficulty was whiskey, as usual
and we are pretty confident that those places
which sell this article on Sunday, will bo
shut up altogether, unless they cease to sell
to that class Of persons who cannot control
themselves when under its influence. We
only express the universal determination OF
our citizens, who regard the peace, quiet and
safety OF the city, as Of infinite more impor-
tance than the little profit which ia made
from the sale Of rum, one day in the week
at least; and 1t may be, II such rights arc
still arserted in defiance Of public opinion
that even this will not be satisfactory. We
arc informed that charges rest against only
two or three establishments and it is to be
hoped that tAe recent difficulties will induce
them to cease the practice. 1t will be the
best for all parties in the end. Every mai
has right to do as lc pleuseS in this coun'
try, provided he docs not infringe upon the
rights of others and confines himself within
the laws Of the laud. In defending our rights
we trust the proviso viii not be forgotten.

CITPerhaps some of our Democratic
friends may be glad to see what the veteran
Father Ritchie thinks of Winfield Scott, as
soldier and Civilian. The following extract
from one ofhis editorials commenting on the
bad taste of the Wings in selecting Genera
Taylor as their Candidate In 1913, speaks up
on both points. 1t IA
From The Washington Union Of 1873.
"Gen. Scott is an older soldier than Gen.
Taylor--onc who is at least eqaaig, Jnot more
accomplished, and who has distinguished him
self by more and as hA,iant battles during
the war-Who captured Vera Cruz, md the
Castle and the Capitol Of Mexico--dnd one
ioo WHO HAS MORE THE QUALITY OF A CIVIL
IAN, and is better known as a Wing"
