measure, he would certainly condemn and re-

Through Seward's whole political ''is
no man has served him 20 faithfully -
Weed. He has printed bis speeches
before they were delivered, he has
published his arguments before the
Courts, his letters in answer to invita-
tions to attend public meetings and
Societies Festivals. He has in fact
been . perfect Boswell to Seward.
In all his plans, in all his schemes
riding every hobby in order to control
his Stste-he has never lost sight for
one moment Of one idea-the elevation
of Mr.. Seward TO the Presidency. For
that he would bankrupt his State,
espouse any cause or party, make any
utilization.
He is just the man to conduct me-
Rotiation Of the kind mentioned be-
tween Douglas and Seward.
We believe, however, that this story
had its origin in the fertile brain Of
some one opposed to both Seward and
Douglas. If such q plan had been
made by Weed, he is too shrewd to
have it known. Now, though Weed
and Seward have great influence At
home we imagine the Republicans Of
Illinois know how to take care of their
own interests at home, and Mr.. Sew
ards private plans to disorganize their
party in Illinois for the purpose Of
strengthening him, will scarcely meet
their approval. Nor do we think that
Mr.. Douglas would lend himself to any
such scheme. While we have differed
from him on some matters, we have
never thought him out Of the pale OF
the Democracy, and we believe that
at the next Presidential election,
Stephen A. Douglas will be battling
| for the Democratic candidate for Pres
ident as valiantly as he did in the last.
And if Mr.. Douglas desired to make
such an arrangement he would hardly
feel like trusting this Thurlox Weed,
We believe that the story is circulated
to injurc Mr.. Douglas at home, and
until we have better authority than
rumor or newspaper gossip we shall
not believe it.

THE NEWS.

The Chicago Journal states that q
warrant was issued on Monday last for
the arrest of Messrs. Sheahan and
Cameron, publishers Of the Chicago
Zvmss, for robbing the United States
Mail.
The warrant was issued on CON-
plant Of A. Wright, who stated in his
a6idavit that on or about the 9th day
Of April 1858 the publishers Of the
Times, ibid take out Of the Post Office
in Chicago, q certain letter or packet
addressed to the complainant, and
did open and embezzle the said letter
with design to obstruct the correspon-
dence and pry into the secrets of the
complainant contrary TO the statute
&C., and that he believes said Cameron
and Sheahan took the said letter out
Of said post Office, as they assert that
they have the said letter in their pos
session." The letter referred to, is one
purporting to have been written by
Isaac Cook to A. Wright in regard to
the organization Of the Democratic
convention about to meet in the State
Of Illinois, which was published in the
Times few days since.
Yesterday WAS the day appointed
for the execution Of Albert Staub, the
murderer Of Laureman, in Chicago
The place Of execution was appointed
outside Of the city limits. The Times
Of Monday, says that the young man
appeared to be Indifferent as to his
terrible fate. He believed neither in a
Divine being, or in future state, and
the ministers who conversed with him
we're obliged to give him up. He has,
in all probability, before this item will
reach the eye of our readers, gone to
the bar of that God, whom he dispised,
to render q terrible account for his
crimes and unbelief.
The Illinois Democratic State Con-
vention Of Illinois meets to-day at
Springfield.
The Missouri Republican of the l4th

According to the accounts it gives,
wan and rumors of wars are fast dying
away in that Territory. The people
are engaged in more profitable employ
ment. The "shriekers" and the "niy-
gar drivers" have both become alike
weary Of their respective and peculiar
vacations, and are now, with very few
exceptions, working for the real pros
perity of the country.

FIDDLE AND BELIs.-There are some queer
facts in regard to fiddle and bells, going the
rounds. We see that fiddl. improves by
age and use; piano does not. neither does
bell. There is. perhaps, a slight improve
ment for the first few years, but after that,
the quality deteriorates Metal, we know
is altered by repeated and long continued
hammering. Trump piece of Iron and
you change the quality of its magnetism !;
the shock Of the waves modifies the magne-
tism f an iron ship; and some of the music
is knocked out of bell by long continued
use of the clapper. A peculiar effect is no.
ticed in the bell Of Chipplegate Church, Scot
land, when it strikes twelve The fret two
or three strokes are distinct and clear, then
a discord begins, which accumulates with
every stroke, until with the eleventh and
twelfth. complete double sound is pro-
duced.
