- The Buchanan Democracy OF
Illinois assembled in State Convention
at Springfield on the 9th. The result
of their labors has not reached us, but
certain it is that the administration de-
mocracy Of that State are stronger now
than they were when the convention
was held in which the Douglasites pre-
dominated and where the split occurred.
They will compose, when it comes To
the election, large proportion of the
democracy of that State. All attempts.
the Chicago Tribune says, to patch ur
a harmony between the two wings has
failed, and the prospects are that they
viii fight it out to the bitter end. This
will make an animated contest in Hi
nois, which will probably result in the
complete triumph Of the Republicans
and the election Of thorough Repub
lican to the U. S. Senate, to take the
| place Of Douglas.

A. Buffalo. June 9.
Trouble has existed some time be-
tween the Buffalo, New York & Erie
K. K. Co, and the New York Central,
at Batavia, III regard to crossing
which the former was obliged to make
of the latter's track. This the Central
company was determined to prevent.
and TOR that purpose had for several
days past, train Of freight cars chain
ed to their track directly at the point
OF crossing, which together with four
heavy locomotives and large gang of
men, has thus far etectually prevented
the crossing being made. The Erie
company appeal to the sheriff for pro-
lection, and were determined to make
the crossing to day-by force if neces-
sary. Serious trouble was apprehend-
ed, but matters are now in fair way
of settlement
An injunction was issued this morn
INC, restraining the n. Y. Central Co.
from resisting the laying of the track
Of the Buffalo and Erie +. r. The in
Junction has been served on the Attor-
ney and Agents Of the Central Road.
and the obstructions are now all being
removed from the crossing, in compli-
ance with order. As an act of retalia-
ton, the \. Y. c. Co. have reduced
their fare from Buffalo to n. Y. to six
dollars, and from Rochester to n. Y. to
four dollars.
