SENATOR DouGLAs.-The New York
Times says: Senator Douglas, in spite Of
oil the assaults made upon him, holds the
only political position upon which the
Democracy can hope to carry any consider
able number of the Northern States. If he
should be nominated by the Charleston
convention, upon the Cincinnati platform,
and with the aid or even assent of the
Southern States, his election seems to be as
certain as any contingent event can be. If
ne should carry the whole South, he would
be certain to add enough Northern States
to give him the election. II the ultra
Southern States should bolt his nomination
and put up candidate Of their own against
him, that movement would give him three
Northern votes where it would cost him
one at the South.

John Phoenix i'm the Ladies, Car.
John Phoenix, the inimitable wit, thus
tells an incident connected with a ride on
the New York Central Railroad. He re.
lates it in letter to the Knickerbockcr
Magazine, and puts it on record to serve as
q caution to future innocent travellers. He
says:
~ had observed at each change of the
cars, land they were frequent, when the
general scramble took place, one car was
defended from the assault by a stalwart
man, usually of stalwart persuasions, who,
deafto menaces, unsoftened by brides, main
tanned his post for the benefit of the 'leddies.
Need say that this car was the most
comfortable Of the train? and with that
stern resolve which ever distinguished me
in the discharge of my duty toward myself,
l resolved to get into it. So when we
changed cars at Utica, rushed forth, and,
seeing nice young person with a pretty
face, bonnet and shawl, and carrying large
portmanteau, urging her way through the
crowd, | stepped up by her side, and with
my native grace and gallantry, offered my
arm and assistance. They were gratefully
accepted, and, proud of my success, urged
my fair charge up to the platform of the
ladies' car. Ny old enemy was holding the
door,
us this your lady, sir ?"
With an inward apology to Mrs. Phoenix
for the great injustice done to her charms,
! replied, yes Judge of my horror when
this low employee of a monopolizing CON-
pany said with the tone and manner of an
old acqua ntance:
We'll, Sal, ! guess you've done well, but
l don't believe his family will think much
of the match"
