tee such facts only as favored his own side,
and entirely suppressed the reasons on which
our demand for the recall of Mr. Champion
and the British consuls was founded Mr..
Buchanan says that lord Palmerston was not
JUSTIFIED IN stating on that occasion that he
MIR. 3. had expressed himself satisfied with
lord Clarendon's explanation, contained in the

IN transmitting that note to the secretary of
state; lord Palmerston replying through lord
Clarendon that he fails to be convinced, and
saying that it seemed to him that there was no
essential difference between the substance and
the effect of what was said in the house of
commons and Mr.. Buchanan's statement.
Finally, MIR. Buchanan, under date of March
7th, says to Mr.. Marcy, .syou must believe
with me, that the last efforts Of lord Palmer

served to make the awkardness of his position

Wright, Davenport d Co, will be paid The

PROBABILITIES OF A Waffle Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Herald
writing In regard to the Cramptqp imbroglo
says:
Speculation is rife as to the probable effects
OF the dismissal of Mr.. Champion. Will there
be war? The hon. Jefferson Davis enume-
rates other and sufficient causes, justifyine the
belief that we shall probably have war with
England. Such he declares to be his opinion,
and if we add to the causes designated by the
secretary of war, the dismissal Of the British
minister Immediately upon the reception of
lord Clarendon's dispatch, which occupied his
lordship in its preparation near six months, this
opinion will be strengthened. In view of the
state G affairs at home and abroad, the naval
committee will in a few days press the war
soop bill upon the attention of congress-
Count Sartiges, the French minister, has
been constantly engaged in behalf of the Eng
fish minister, Mr.. Champion. I learn that it IS
his opinion that the two countries were drift
ing towards rupture, and he manifests good
deal of uneasiness. Mr.. Buchanan, however.
thinks that there is no danger of a war. The
English government, it would appear, are as
anxious for peace as the United States.

DR.. BARTON ON THE ORIGIN OF YELLOW FE
vER.-This gentleman recently read an address
before the New Orleans Academy of Science
which the editor of the Bulletin has had the
privilege of perusing. He thus speaks of it:
In this report will be found, we think, the
evidence of the fact we have stated, of step
forward in our knowledge, in reference to the
causes of yellow fever. From long array OF
facts dating at an early period, the important
truth is eviscerated, that an epidemic season
here is accompanied by disturbance of the
soil to a considerable depth. Every epidemic
since the digging of the canal Carondeet, in
1896, to the present time, is noticed, and inva-
riably, when any disturbance of the subsoil has
taken place, an epidemic has ensued!
This, surely, cannot have been a mere acct
dent; accidents are not thus inyarab1e Wheth-
er there are poisonous gases, which, escaping
by loosening the earth, unite with certain meteo-
Biological conditions above ground, and thus
form compound that is fatal to human life
also, in certain conditions, or whether the re-
suit is brought about in some other manner is
of course beyond our present knowledge The
fact that the fever does occur when any unusual
agitation of the subsoil takes place, is suffci-
ent to teach us practical lesson

Great American victory in New orleans
FIRST GUN FOR FILLMORE,

| At the municipal election held In y. Orleans,
On the Cd inst, the Americans carried the city
| By An overwhelming and unprecedented major
ity, electing all their nominees, viz: Charles N
Waterman, mayor; Gerard Stith, foreman Of
the Picayune office, recorder of the LIST dis
tret; j. l.. Fabre, recorder of the 2d district:
Joseph Solomon, recorder of the Sd district;
FRANCOIS Bouligny, recorder of the 4th district;
Thomas Theard, comptroller; Armedte Guyol,

more, democrat, 1852. Total, 1888. At the
city election in March, 1856, $685. votes were
poled.
1t is Notifying to all lovers of law and order
and Of all who respect the institutions of their
country, that the contest was not permitted to
pass off quietly, and that riot and bloodshed
again set the authorities at defiance, and dis
graced the city, and that the following persons
were killed OF wounded Charles Mackey, shot
at and stabbed in the 7th ward; John Norman,
shot at in the 7th ward; Edward Kirk, badly
beaten; John: Talon, hit with slungshot; ".
Bowen, badly beaten; Norbert Trepagnier,
clerk 9Th district court, badly shot and stabbed;
Leon Charyet, shot wound; NJ. Lafarge, shot
and stabbed; officers Henderson and Gallagher
badly beaten; two Scilians shot and killed, two
SlcIlIans wounded; ex-alderman Gordon and
alderman Mcknight badly beaten.
Dir. Waterman, is young gentleman oftal-
ent, great business capacity, energy and untir
able industry, and will undoubtedly make the
ablest mayor the city has ever had. We are
in the man if he does not put a speedy
end to the scenes of rowdyism and bloodshed
which have for the last year prevailed in New
Orleans.

1.-THE CINCINNATI PLATFORM. THE Rich
mond Enquirer announces an issue which 1t says
must enter into the next presidential canvass
and a principle which must be Incorporated in
the Cincinnati platform, which, for the informa-
ton of our democratic readers north and south
we quote in the Enquirer's words, as follows:
1--WE must, in the Cincinnati platform, repu-
date squatter sovereignty, and expressly assert
State equality. We must declare that it is the
duty of the general government to see that no
invidous or injurious distinctions are made be-
tween the people or the property of different
sections in the territories We do not mean to
dictate. 1t may be that the assertion in the
platform in the abstract proposition of state
equality may suffice to carry along with it the
consequences which we desire. But it is often
charged that the Kansas Nebraska bill con-
tains the doctrine of squatter sovereignty which
is the most efficient agent of freesoilism. Some
all northern democrats have maintained this
ground. Now this gun must be spiked. It
must appear from our platform that we main
tain practical state equality, and repudiate that
construction of the Kansas Nebraska act which
would defeatit. The south only demandsequali-
ty of right. The more clearly it appears that
the northern democracy is ready to concede it
to her, the more certain is our candidate of
success
