The Presidential scramble--Posi-

The Richmond Enquirer publishes the

ton, It says, il ''reliable." Not from any
concern Whatever for Mr.. Douglas and
his fortunes, but merely as chroniclers OF

Charleston Phe statement is substan-
tally as follows: ~
Mr.. Douglas entertains no doubt about
the future He is candidate, and con
'fident of the nomination, as well as OF
the adoption OF lis platform. He thinks
the question is already determined: that
he can succeed without any aid from the
Middle States; that the united Northwest
and Northeast are for him, beyond doubt,
as well as several of the Southern States
that he is certain of votes enough already
without another State. In the South, he
feels sure of North Carolina, Kentucky,
Arkansas and Louisiana, though some OF
them may vote ballot for other names
lie regards all the Southern candidates
except Gov. Wise, as having virtually
withdrawn from the field. lie thinks
they have no desire to risk the chances in
1860, and will prefer the nomination Of
some Northern man, in order to leave the
field open for themselves in 1864. This
he thinks, will secure him the nomina
ton in 1860, ifnothing else should.

PRESIDENTIAL SPEcuLATIoNs.- The Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Courier and Enquirer writes as folIows:-
"Mr. Buchanan has Withdrawn from the
competitor for the succession, but not
from the contest. He is using all his in
fiuence in the Republican States to Sc
cure delegates to the Charleston Conven-
ton hostile to popular sovereignty, and
iilfayor of Mr.. Hunter or some candidate
of his political hue. He will succeed in
Indiana, Pennsylvania Connecticut, Iowa,
and in some other States. These dele
gates will find some decent cover for
sanctioning slavery sovereignty, or any
other sort most acceptable to the Presi-
dent, who has just one object which is to
crush the leaders in the great rebellion
against his Administration. Under this
state of facts the probability of Demo-
cratic victory is reduced to very small
point indeed. The old unity between
the Northern and Southern Democracy is
destroyed and fed forever"

The CONTEST sErTLED.-The Cleveland Banner
has correspondent in Meigs county, who knocks
not only the bottom but the top out of every thing
he touches. As sample, we quote a short extract
from his letter, published last week. about the
speaking at Decatur on the preceding Saturday;
"Col. Netherland, like the heterogeneous party,
whose manifold, disoordant, incompatible princi-
pies, it is his arduous duty under the sanction of
solemn and sacred oaths, to demonstrate and sup

BS5- The Opposition lost the day in
Virginia, after noble canvass by the in
domitable Goggin, by the culpable negli-
gence Of his own friends. Thousands of

Gov. HARRIS AND THE BANKs.-The
Shebyville Expositor says:

Gov. HARRIS AND THE BANKs.-The
Shebyville Expositor says:
Gov. Harris emphatically proclaimed
himself opposed to the re-enacting any
bank charter now in existence, and per-
sistently refuses to say whether he is in
favor Of chartering any bank in lieu of
those already in existence.
Gov. Harris position is not exactly de-
fined by our contemporary as we under
stand it, We heard Gov. Harris say posi-
lively and unequivocally at Gallatin, his
second speech in the canvass, that he was
not only ,mcondiionaly opposed to the re-
charter of the Union and Planters Banks,
but was opposed to the charteriqg Of a,,ync,o
banks by the next Legislature. We so
reported him in the Banner at the time,
and have repeatedly called attention to
this feature of his speech since. We
hope our contemporaries will be careful
not to do Gov. Harris any injustice by
depriving him of the benefit of the least
particle of his known and bitter hostility
to banks.-Ndsh. Bu,ay..

Another murder.

Verify, murder and bloodshed are rife
in our midst. We have already chron
icled two murders in this county in the
last two weeks, and we hoped that the
bloody arm of murder had been satisfied;
but nay, another heart has been stilled,
and another household desolated by the
ruthless hand of the murderer. The
husband has fallen victim TO the merci-
less anger Ola wifel and misery and
wretchedness has taken the place OF
peace and contentment.
A history of the affair as we heard it is
as follows: Anthony Ward, an Irish Ia
borer upon the tunnel, nine miles below
town, had been out at his accustomed
labor, and at night-fall returned to his
cabin, where he should have been greeted
with smiles instead of frowns and angry
words, to get his supper. His wife, Mar.
garet, had not prepared his meal at the
usual time, and he asked her the cause
of the delay, at the same time playfully
tapping her on the cheek with q small
twig he held in his hand, whereupon she
cut him across the abdomen, causing his
death almost neutrality-suspicious. Ca.

CONTEMPT OF CoURT-The proceedings
of the criminal Court yesterday afternoon
were disturbed by one of those unpleas-
ant episodes which sometimes occur in
the best regulated tribunals. During the
examination of witnesses in the Mellow
ell murder case, Attorney General Sale
and Messrs L. w. NJ. King and f. NJ.
Yerger, counsel in the case INDUCED in
language which Judge McKiernon con-
sidcred disrespectful to the Court, and
for which he fined the two first named
gentlemen S25 each, and the latter So.
The Court also ordered Mr.. Yerger to be
imprisoned for period of one month in
addition to his fine. The latter part of
the penalty imposed upon Mr.. Yerger
was put into execution and he was locked
up in the city Jail. The proceedings of
the Court in this unpleasantaffair, though
necessary, perhaps, to maintenance of
its dignity, are to be deeply regretted,
and it is to be hoped that any occasion
for such action on the part of the Court
may be carefully and studiously avoided
in the future by the members of the bar.
