DouGLAs is no longer defiaot. No longer the
daring Douglas that walked out of the Lecomp-
ton Democratic party into what he fondy antici-
pated would be his own democratic party. No
longer the Douglas who, in the Senatein 1878
dared and dcfied and IN the late Illinois cam
paign triumphed over, all the combined forces Of
the Administration. He has gone back TO the
beggarly clements of Democracy, with his tail
tucked like chnstised puppy. After all the
ieers and fleers that greeted him, on his late re-
turn to the Senate, from Southern Democrats,
he has sneaked contentedly into the ranks, and
taken the place assigned him in the background
And now, but few days ago, when the Presi-
dents special war message was sent in, he, as
if to exhibit his degradation, got up and ap-
proved it, in the most unmistakuble and uncon-
ditional manner The fact is, Dougins is pOlit-
icaIly done for. He has the confidence and sup
port of no party; nor does he deserve to have.
To use an expressive, though not classical
phrase, he is a d6ad dog.

to treat this subject ia the light of ridicule, it
cannot and ought not to be disguised, that it has
a serious phase; and that serious phase is, that
notwithstanding these demands are monstrOus
in themselves, and unparalleled in the history of
this government, there is posslbility-nay, a
strong probabiity-tbat they will be acceded
to. Propositions which twenty-five years ago
would have sent shock throughout the nation,
which contemplate violation both of the
spirit and letter of the Constitution, and per-
version of the intention of our government, now
find supporters in Congress, and may become
law.
We are not disposed to croak over every little
thing that looks dubious, but we do say en-
phatically, that the bare possibility that these
extraordinary demands of the President will be
complied with. is an alarming Indication, and
the sooner the county understands it as such
the be tier.

on the Colonial Bank of Barbados, West Indies,
formed the chief topic of conversation in Wall

brought full particulars Of the fraud, which will
probably swell the total to $4,000. The name
of the author of these forgeries is alleged to be

reasons unknow to us, the offer was declined.
We were threfore,lnot little surprised at the
reflection attempted to be cast upon US in the
paragraph cited, and amused at the complaint
made about not being furnished a copy.

A late Havana paper gives curious account
of the myster Gus absence of a Connecticut man,
named John Mcintosh, employed by planter
near that city. He went out in search of a lost
bull, and not returning, search was made for
several days, when he was given up for dead,
and masses were said for the repose of his soul.
After seventeen Gays he presented himself at the
farm house, weak and cmaciated. He declares
that passing along ravine he had lain down,
without knowing why, in the hollow of rock,
and had remained there asleep for the whole
time, although, strange to say, he had heard the
voices of those who were searching for him, but
did not possess the power to answer.
