UsEFCL CRINoLIxE-A gentleman whose
attention was attracted by the suspicious To-
comofion Of woman passing from the store
OF one OF the Alexandria merchants yesterday,
deserted the end of apiece OF bacon project ting
below her dress. The merchant stated. ON in
quiry, that he had soldier mono. The woman
was inerenpon brought back and charged with

undisturbed, and indicated nothing wrong. ex-
cept the ridiculous fashion, yet the sequel
proved that she had concealed beneath her
cr1nollne, side OF bacon, which weighed thir-

A POSTMASTER PAYS HIMSELF FROM A

Van Allen, postmaster at Wenona, was last
week arrested on charge of larceny, on COM
plant of William Ehret. 1t appears that
Van Allen is also station agent at that place
for the Illinois Central Road, and that Ehret
owed him a bill of $3.50 for freight. Van Al.
len had received notice to send forward all
moneys received for freights, and Ehret not
being there at the time, he opened letter ly-
ing in the Office for the latter, containing so,
and paid himself the money due, and then
loaned the balance TO his brother-in-law. To
this method of collecting accounts Ehret OBJ
jected and procured the arrest Van Allen

OF ali the Presidential candidates, Mr. Douglas
is the 6rst lr the field with his declaration of pria-
ciples and we sre buund to say that it has the
emins nj merit of being frank, manly, and iDteigI-
bic Dir Douglas, whatever be bis faults. is not wont
to dissuise or conceal his opiDi ms, and here 80
have them 10 their length, breadth and buntnrss.
Mr b Dorr of Dubuque, Iowa, haviog iDqnired
whether bis friends might present his name at
Charleston as a candidate for the Presidency, Mr.
Douglas replies, that they may do so if the Con.
yertiop shall adhere to the time hOnOred doctrine
Of the Democratic party as expressed in the Com
promises Of 1855 the Pr. side ntial elect OF 1882
the Kansas Nebraska act Of 1874, the Cincinnati
platform of 1850, and in the letter OF Dir. Bu-
ctspan, accepting TIE nomination and exp 'undiog
that platform. But if the Charleston Convention
shall set up pew doctrine in favor of the revival
of tue s.ye-trade, or of Congressional Slave code
for the Territories, or denying the right of the
people in the Territories to regulate Slavery
just like other matters relating to property, why.
10 that event, Mr. Douglas would not accept the
nomination, even if it we're tentered to him.
Now, there is no doubt that in all the Democratic
parry tbere IL not announcer man WIN "oui' oo o"
strong a Presidential candidate, in the North at
least as Mr. Douglas But. at the same tim-.
there is no other prominent Democratic statesman
who has 80 small chance of receiving the nom'na-
ton at Charleston. THIS was as true before this
letter was published as it is now; and the simple
reason ehy this strong m-n cannot be nominated
is. that he has not always been ready to submit to
A.. Int ,s
followed such a course as he thought best And
with such stale Of things before bis eyes, the next
Democratic orator will gcrfy that party on the
ground that sectionasm never enters 'ts serrd IN
closures. Let him consult Douglas on that subject.

Russia and the War.

Strange to say, the Russian government
has endorsed the ''mngnanimous course OF
the French Emperor. and intlmateS t" ier-
many that she will sustain him in his efforts
to drive Austria out of Italy. The recent
circular issued by Prince GortshakoR to the
representatives of Russia at the different
Courts of Germany concludes n follows:
THE Germanic confederation is II comb-
nation purely and exclusively defensive. II
is on that condition that she participates IN
the international law of Europe, on the basis
of treaties to which Russia's signature is
affixed Now, no hostile act has been com
mitted by France against the confederation
and there does not exist any obligatory trea-
ty for the latter to attack that power. Should,
consequently, the confederation take hostile
measures toward France, on coniectural data,
and against which it has obtained more than
one guarantee, it would have talsihrd the
object of its institution, and disowned the
spirit oftreatcs upon which its existence rests.
We confidently entertain the hope that the
wisdom of the federal government will set
aside the determinations which turn I" their
prejudice, and would not contribute much to
strengthen their cwn position. II, which
God forbid, it should happen otherwise, We
shall at all events have fulfilled duty OF
frank and sincere friendship. Whatever may
he the issue of the present complications, the
Emperor, our august master, perfectly free
in his action, will only be inspired by the IN
terests If his country and the dignity of his
crown in the determination which His Ma
iesty will be called upon to take

A Case Put.

We greatly question whether those among
our Southern contemporaries who dissent
from the soundness of the recent declaration
of Mr.. Cass with regard to the liabilities OF
naturalized aliens in case of voluntary re-
turn to their native country, would be con-
sistent enough to admit, in conformity with
their doctrine, that person held to service
by the law of South Carolina might, after es-
Gaping into Canada and becoming British
subject, properly claim the right of returning
to his former domicile and hold himself free
from the obligations imposed by the NUM-
cipal law in defiance of which he Rad fled
Yet, if our naturalization laws can avail to
exempt the subjects Of other countries from
the liabilities enjoined by the laws of these
countries upon all natural born subjects
found within their borders, it seems difficult
to understand on what grounds the NATURAL.
cation laws of other nations should not be
equally potent to release from the obligations
Of United States laws such persons rs
were once legally held to service in our
dominions, hut who, after exercising the
right Of expatriation, should return to their
former domcile in a new character, result
inv from the formation Of new political ties

WASHINGTON. June information has
been received from a source regarded as tho
roughly reliable, giving the particulars OF the
concentrated fllibuster descent on Nicara-
qua. The names of certain parties who sus-
tain Walker with arms and money are gwen,
the endowment of the benefits Of the transit
route to compensate, in part, for the outlay
thus incurred.
1t is stated that the expedition will start
the middle of August, and that party of
fllibusters will rendezvous in Florida, and
be conveyed to Central America in the Scot
fish Chief" Whether or not this intorma
ton is strictly true, it is certain our govern
ment will endeavur to arrest all such illegal
enterprises, the orders to our naval vessels Tor
this purpose, heretofore issued, being still III
full force.
Gen. Jerez, before he left for Nicaragua,
was fully informed of these tillibuster move
ments.
The Board contemplated by former orders
of the War Department to he convened for
the examination of non-commlssloned ofhcers
recommended for promotion, will be composed
of the instructor of tactics, the professor OF
mathematics, and the professor OF ethics at
the military academy, and will meet at West
Point ON the first Monday in September an

not hereafter be allowed communication OF

latter days, held in this country; and his adj
vice was often taken in affairs of State, but
really his power was gone, and many among
