WOMAN IN A CAULDRoN or .BoILIEG OIL.
Mrs. Taylor, wife Of the Station Master, at
Belle River Station, on the Great Western Rail-
way, Canada, met with q horrible death, few
days SINCE Some painters were boiling caul-
dron OF oil in one Of the rooms Of the station
house, when the pipe OF the stove came apart,
and Mrs. Taylor mounted chair to fix it, when
the chair tipped over, and she fell head fore
most into the boiling oil. The alarm was i'm
medately given, and she was at once taken out,
but OF course was llfeless. The upper portion
of her body, with her head, vas literally boiled,
the hair falling off, and the flesh parting with
every touch. Her clothes had taken fire from
the flames, burning the other portions OF her
body in most shocking manner. In fact, the
remains presented an unacceptable mass OF
burned flesh aud bones, that were sckening to
lock upon.

the men who have gone out to the gold region
the destitution Of many of them even when
leaving our frontier, and the probability that
hundreds and thousands will be in a state ~
absolute starvation, and therefore ready for
anything, soon after their arrival-al .hesa
things warrant the belief that an iuroad. neaco-
able or otherwise, will be made into the MEXICAN
States which We have named. All that ia want.

ton, is money-money to pay for the provi-
sions for the use Of the men. This has been
the main difficulty in the way of an earlier or
ganization, and may yet prevent an efficient
force from being set in motion. The country
will look with much interest to the future

Democracy Of the whole country, North,
South, East and West, endorse it, and under
stand It just as we have set it forth in the
words Of the President and Of the opinions
delivered on the occasion. Even Senator
Douglas endorses the opinion to the fullest
extent, and only sets up "squatter privi-
lege' in the inhabitants Of the Territories to
resort to "unfriendly legislation to obstruct
the Shareholders in the full and profitable en-
joyment Of their Constitutional rights OF
property to their slaves in the Territories.
Now we have not misunderstood or mis-
represented the position of the Democratic
party, as derived from such authorities as the
Supreme Court, the President, Congress, the
Democratic State Convention Of Iowa, &C.
And We would askith editor Of the Journal.
in view of the bred Scott decision, which
extends the Constitution Of the United States
| over the Territories, and carries slavery with
it into the Territories, how, and upon what
authority, he makes out that the bred Scott
Interpretation OF the Constitution sleaves the
whole question to be decided by the people of
the Territory" Have the people Of the Ter
ritory, in their Territorial condition, in mass
or in convention, the right to abolish and
prohibit slavery Or If the principles of that
opinion be logically carried out, have the
people right even in the formation of a
| State Constitution to affect the vested rights
of the Shareholders residing there by clause
prohibiting slavery II SO, what becomes Of

Postal Arrangem cars.

Everywhere throughout the West the mail
service is being reduced on important routes
and discontinued entirely on non paying
routes. The West and North, which pay
their own expenses for postal service, are
deprived of ordinary facilities for transpor.
tation Of mails, while the expensive non.
paying and unnecessary ocean, Isthmus and
extreme overland southern California routes
still continue, and We OF the North have tc
foot the bills. 1t is useless to complain
however, 30 long as we have Government
which recognizes itself as the mere agent o.
the shareholders, and holds that the NORTH
has no rights which it is bound to respect.
We had six overland routes to California
Oregon and Mexico. The Postmaster Gen
eral has just discontinued two OF them, ant
OF course they are two of the most nor Their
ly, and the cheapest routes on the list
while four southern routes, in addition I,
several across the Isthmus, are still retained
at an enormous expense to the Government
and one halt Of them, at least, with no pos
sible benefit to the people.
The Arizona southern line route, which
seems to be the special favorite Of the AID
ministration, is 700 miles farther than til,
central route upon which service has beer
discontinued, and the annual expense of car.
rying the mail over il is six hundred thou.
sand dollars, while the contract price on the
discontinued central route was less than
100000.
