DEATH OF THE INvENroEoF Luc1FER

DEATH OF THE INvENTOE OF LUCIFER
MATcHEs-Mr. John Walker, chemist,
of Stockton, Scotland, the original in
ventor of Lucifer matches, died in that
town the other day at the age of 49,.
According to the local papers, the dis
covery was made by him while expert
menting with various chemical substan-
ces, and for a considerable time he re-
allied considerable income for the
sale of his matches at Is Cd each. This
did not last long. Professor Faraday,
being in the North, heard of the inven
ton, and passing through Stockton OBJ
tanned a box, which he took with him
to London, and adverted to it in one OF
his lectures. Some thinking minds
were set astir by this, and the discovery
made which has since become world
known.

The Ohio slave-Hunting Democracy.


The bred Scott amalagmation De-
mocracy of Ohio tried hard to ride two
horses at the State Convention they re-
Gently held to nominate State ticket
and build q platform. They had to
endorse Buchanan or lose the spoils,
and by doing so they were in danger
of disgusting their followers. So they
compromised, undoing in one resolution
what they had done in another. Their
resolutions may therefore be read, like
all doughface resolutions of the present
day, both for and against him, to suit
taste and locations. On the slave trade
they were equally double-dealing.
They denounced its revival, but en-
dorsed those who favored it. And so
on through the chapter.
In regard to this transparent piece
of mosaic, the Cincinnati Times, inde-
pendent, says that proceedings cannot
fail to amuse the reader. The plat
form constructed by these artful dodg-
ers it considers political curiosity
one line is Buchanan and the next anti
Buchanan-one resolution Admnistra-
tion-and the whole an admirable po-
litical chess-board, on which either
player can give pawn and take king
without trouble. 1t was evidently the
design to make the platform broad
enough to allow every stripe OF Demo-
crat to find plank in it, and stout
enough to bear all the political iniqui-
ties of the party"
The Cleveland Herald says the tick
ct nominated at this Convention is OF
the Giraffe order, tall in front and
suddenly sloping off behind" Mr..
Allen, who brings up, or fails to bring
ZIP, the rear, is Deputy U. S. Marshal,
and served as juror in the Bushnell
case at the same time. The Democra-
cy seems to be in for judicial fight
having a Judge at the head and a
constable at the tail of their State tick
ct.
The Convention nominated Rufus p.
Ranney, from somewhere on the West
ern Reserve, the Cincinnati Enquirer
has not learned where, for Governor
H. c.. Whitman, of Lancaster, for
Judge of the Supreme Court; G.yoI-
ney Dorsey, of Piqua, the man that
Matt. Nichols,used up,) for State Au-
ditor; VIM. Bushnell, for Treasurer;
Jacob Reinhard, for Secretary of State;
w. III. Stafford, for Lieut.. Governor
James Tomlison, for the board of Pub
lie Works; Charles n. Allen for School
Commissioner--Det Adrertiser.

The National Era sums up the plat
forms of the various Democratic fac
tons as follows:
l. There is the Presidents platform,
as announced in his organ, the Comsti-
tuition, which declares that neither Con-
gress nor the Territorial Legislature
have any right to establish or prohibit
Slavery. 1t is silent as to the rev ival
of the African Slave Trade.
2. The Wise or true Southern plat
form, which insists that it is the duty
OF Congress to pass laws for the protec-
ton of Slavery in the Territories, and
to abolish the laws which rohibit and
punish the African Slave Trade.
8. The Douglas platform, which in
sists that the Territorial Legislatures
may adopt unfriendly legislation"
against Slavery, but which he at the
same time admits to be unconstitutional,
and therefore void. His central organ
interprets the doctrine of Mr.. Douglas
to mean that the Territorial Legisla-
lures may exercise their popular sover-
eighty by establishing and upholding
slavery; while any " unfriendly legisla-
ton" will be treated as a nulIity by the
Federal Court. The same organ in
sists that the South has right to de-
mand the repeal of the laws against
the Slave Trade.
4. The Hickman orney platform,
which insists on popular sovereignty
absolutely, and favors the exclusion of
slavery from the Territories. 1t also
insists on rigid enforcement of the
laws which punish the Slave Trade as
piracy.
Each of these factions denounces all
the others with extreme bitterness.
The Hickman-forney faction occupies
the untenable position of faction to
claim Mr.. Douglas as its leader, when,
in fact he has more sympathy with the
most ultra Southern wing, represented
by Wise. Davis and Brown, than
with the Free Soil schismatics of Penn
sylvania The latter cannot support
Douglas without fragrant apostacy
from the principles laid down at their
recent State Convention, while the
other three wings of the Democry
might with perfect consistency unite in
support of the Illinois Senator.

An AMERICAN ANTIQUITY. = The
New Orleans Delta thinks it an absurd
ity to call the Custom House which the
government has been building in that
city for these thirteen years past, and
which is yet far from being completed,
though it has already cost over two
millions of dollars, "new." At the
rate it has progressed it will be ranked
amongst American antiquities along
side the noun Is of the Mississippi val
ley, long before it is finished. Already
the original architect, the engineer who
constructed its foundation, the Govern
or of Louisiana who laid the corner
stone. the Collector of the port who
aided in the same, and three Admins
trations of the Federal Government
have passed away since it was com
menced.

.WThe Ohio Republican candidate
for Governor was described by the
New York Eyeni,ag Post several days
before he was nominated as " a gentle
man in the MONDAY of vigorous
manhood; of practical common sense
an accomplished business man, and
generally respected and esteemed. Ht
is also an earnest Republican, and vii
make an excellent successor to the dis
tinguished statesman Governor Chase
who will retire from the gubernatoria
chair only to be returned to the scene
of his former triumphs-the Senate
Chamber of the United States"

az Notwithstanding the great
Pixies Peak delusion has been thor
oughly exposed by the most overwhelm-
ing proof, very many of the swindlers
on the borders of Kansas, who inven-
ted the humbug, are striving des-
perately to make believe that there are
still chances to make fortunes in that
region. We think the exposure of the
sharpers and the motives which move
them, has got such a start that they
will hardly be able to profit by the hum
bug much longer. The prodigals are
returning by thousands, one half Of
whom have never seen the mines.

The Utah Diffculties.

The Administration has succeeded in
getting up a complicated state of things
among its officials in Utah, either by
laundering instructions or by neglect to
give proper attention to the affairs OF
the Territory. There are now two
armed parties arrayed against each 9TH
err, each claiming to act under the au-
thority of the President.
Judge Cradlebaugh and Sinclair, Of
the United States Court, still insists on
the employment of the Federal troops,
not only for the protection Of the Court
house, but to perform the duty of ar
resting criminals, although at the haz-
ard of provoking armed collision with
the Mormons, who object to what they
consider military despotism. Gener-
al Johnston had complied with the re.
QUESTION of the Court, against the pro-
test of Gov. Cumming, sending, as was
reported, two regiments to make ar.
rests. Upon this Gov. Cumming had
summoned Gen. ID. b. Welles, com.
mander of the Mormon militia, to be
ready to act on orders. By two o'clock
on Monday April 18th, FIVE thousand
Mormon troops were in arms to sup.
port the Gov. against Gen. Johnston
and the Federal army. In this threat
ening condition matters stood at the
last account.
Considering that Territorial Govern
ors, Judges and Generals are all APP
pointed by the President, removable
by him, and that both the civil and
military force are subject to his con
troll, it is somewhat singular that affairs
have been allowed to reach such a cri
sis, and that having reached it, they are
allowed to 90 OH.

wThe story about three Thousand

The story about three thousand
sheep having been killed at one time on
the Erie Railroad, is doubted by some
sceptical editors in New York. The
story is, that the train ran into a drove
of them, killing the number stated.
But how so many sheep could get on
the railroad, is not fully endorsed, I'M
less they took their position in row
for a mile or so for the purpose of COM
hitting suicide.

Embarrassment of the Post Office Depart.
ment.


The embarrassment of the Post Of
fee Department promises to be more
serions than was at first apprehended.
A large number of mail routes, some
of them important, and some of them
very expensive and useless, as the great
overlandmail routes, have been contin-
ned. 1t was taken into consideration
that the Department would be in ar
rears to contractors, and others in its
employ, but it was thought that they
would be able to raise money upon the
evidences of Indebtedness furnished
them by the government. This latter
expectation has not been realized. The
Washington correspondent of the N.
Y. Tribune in his letter to that paper
Of Saturday last, states that " the small
contractors throughout the country are
urgent in pressing their claims for pay
ment for the last quarter. Being una
bic to raise money on the evidences of
Of Indebtedness from the Government,
many failures are apprehended, and
much arrangement of the mail service.
Tennessee is the only State where the
banks have made advances to the ex-
tent of the certified balances, hence the
service there is relieved from embar-
rassment. The Department is curtailing
the mail service all the Union, with
the view of making an aggregate re-
duction of two or three millions"
The public at large must of course,
be the sufferers from the ircompetency
and corruption of such Democratic
Administrations Citizen.
