New CANDIDATES FOR THE PRESIDENCY
Since the late Virginia election an opposition
paper Of that State cries out, "Who will second
us when we name William L. Goggin as candi-
date for President Of the United Statess" At this
rate we shall probably have two OF three more
new opposition candidates directly after the
August elections of Kentucky and Tennessee,
whether the opposition be defeated successful,
and half dozen more with our October and
November State elections. The latest available
democrat fshed up is Gen. Lane, Familiarity
called "Old 10. Lane" Of Oregon We
shouldn't wonder if some admiring friend were
next to trot out Judge Cradlebaugh,- of Utah, or
Governor Cumming. And why not? In the in
terval to the juggling party conventions of 1860,
the field is open for all ENTREES and the choice of
every party is an open question. Bring out
your candidates.

ANOTHER BOURBON GoNE-The notorious Fer
dinand the Second, of Naples, has disappeared
from the roll OF sovereigns and of mortals. The
terrible disease under which he has been so long
suffering has at length done its work, and King
Bomba has been gathered to his fathers. We be-
lieve that, with the exception of the Queen of
Spain, King Ferdinand was the only reigning
sovereign in Europe who belonged to the Bour-
bon dynasty. The young Duke of Parma is
scion of that famous house, but he cannot be
classed among reigniDg sovereigns. Thus we
see, that while the star of the Napoleon dynasty
is rising, that of the Bourbons is setting.
Ferdinand is succeeded by his eldest son,
Francis the Second (Francis Maria Leopold,
Duke Of Calabria). This prince, the issue of
Ferdinand's first marriage, to Sandman prin-
cess, is closely related to Victor Emanuel. His
step-mother, an Austrian princess, had been in
triguing to obtain the succession for her eldest
son, the Count of TRAM; 80 that Francis the
Second represents the Sandman party, in contra
distinction to the Austrian party, in Naples.
This consideration, his family ties, and the popu-
lar sentiment of his subjects, may induce Francis
to declare in favor of Italian independence. If
he do, he will propitiate the Emperor Of the
French, and perhaps cause him to modify that
portion of the programme which looks to placing
Prince Lucien Murat on the throne of Naples.
If he do not what between Austrian intrigue,
revolution and the Napoleenic ideas, his throne
would appear to be held but by very uncer-
certain Tenure

at STILL LIvEs"-The quiet, dignifed but
unctious gravity with which the old National In
tdligencr discusses the democratic murmurs
from Virginia. concerning the late elections of
that State, is very refreshing. 1t proves that
that venerable newspaper, which everybody had
supposed to be defanct as q political party
organ, "stin lives" and still believes in the re-
surrection of the old wing party. This is the
faith which removes mountains Let the dead
rejoice.

TRAVEL TO EUROPE CoNTNuEs.-I will be
perceived by the passenger lists of the two
steamers which left this port for Europe on
Saturday, that the travel in that direction con-
tinues as brisk as ever. 1t is evident, as we
have said before, that the war is no impeachment
to the tourists; on the contrary, it appears to
have given an impetus to European travel.
The Vanderbilt took out on Saturday, for
Havre and Southampton, three hundred and
eighty-fve passengers, and the City Of Balti-
more two hundred and sixty-6ve for Liverpool;
in all six hundred and fifty, besides specie to
the amount Of two millions and quarter 1t is
probable that, as the summer advances, our At

travellers for Europe

ANTI-WAR INFLUENCES PRIESTS AND THE
PETTIcoATs.-The Empress Eugene is said to be
violently opposed to the war in Italy, and the
newspaper correspondents relate some curious
stories Of the warmth with which she expresses
her feelings on the subject. Allowing for the
exaggeration with which they have invested the
facts, we can readily understand the apprehen-
sion with which this amiable woman views the
departure of her Imperial consort. The female
mind naturally regards war with horror, and
this feeling has, there is reason to believe, been
intensified in the case of the Empress by the
Archbishop of Paris, who possesses great in
fuence over her mind. The Catholic clergy
must view with concern movement which
threatens to introduce vital changes in the con-
dition of the Roman States. However the war
may terminate, it is plain that the present de-
plorable state of things there must be put an
end to. 1t is source Of danger for Europe
which, in any turn that events may take can no
longer be permitted to exist. Whether, there
fore, Louis Napoleon succeeds in effecting the
political objects which be has In view or not, it
is clear that whatever settlement is arrived at
must embrace full and complete reform of the
abuses which cast such odium upon the civil
administration Of the Pontifcate. We can hardly
see how this can be brought about without an
entire separation Of the ecclesiastica and politi
cal Jurisdictions rather nice question, seeing to
what it must eventually lead.
1t is not to be expected that the clergy should
re card with anv deUrpe of cOmnlacencv n war
which threatens the extinction Of the temporal
attributes Of the Pope. II is viewed with the
more disfavor by them from the fact that Austria
has, by its late concordat, granted to the church
the restoration Of many Of its medieval privileges
and shown itself otherwise disposed to sustain its
pretensions. As when the priests fail to bring
home conviction TO the minds Of men they inva-

The CASE or THE MURDERER STEIHENS-A
RIGHTEOUS DECIs1ON.-T difficulties which
beset the trials and conviction of murderers and
other great criminals in our courts, and the fire.
quency with which they escape the punishment
due to their crimes, are matters too notorious TO
require reiteration. Every scoundrel who at.
tains the notoriety which in our community fol-
lows the commission of some shocking crime
finds abundance Of sympathising friends among
those who before would not bestow crust of
bread upon him nor stretch out hand to save
him from iniquity. Quibbling lawyers, too, are
plenty enough in such cases, ready always
to avail themselves of every quirk and loop.
hole In the law whereby to evade justice, either
by obtaining reversion of judgment or new
trial.
Thus, the criminal who has money or friends
stands very little chance of punishment, for he
can stave off the execution of the law to an in
definite period, until. in the excitement of some
new tale of horror, his case is forgotten, aud he
gides quietly out Of the hands of justice and into
his old haunts and practices. To such pass has
this state of things come now that the admin
istration of criminal law has become apmockery,
and has ceased to be any longer a terror to evil
doors.
The decision of the Supreme Court, then, in
the case of the wife poisoner, Stephens, is mat
ter for general congratulation. The Judges who
refused him a new trial, and confirmed the judg-
ment Of the lower Court are deserving of all
praise. The moral effect of this decision will be
better than the execution of the murderer, for it
will convince criminals of all grades that escape
from the penalty of crime is no longer certain.
Every possible facility to obtain fair trial, and
to clear himself, If be be innocent, is afforded to
the offender in our criminal courts. He is al
lowed time enough to collect all the testimony
in his behalf which he can command. If he be
too poor to pay lawyer to defend him, adequate
legal talent is placed at his disposal by the
Judge; delay is never refused, and certainly the
lawyers for the defence are allowed license in
conducting their case which would not be grant
ed in any other country in the world. YET with
all these advantages, when conviction is secured,
some dodge or bubble is resorted to to ward off
punishment from the convicted party. 1t is time
that our Judges should take firm stand against
proceedings like these. Heretofore they have
been too willing to yield to the pertinacity, and
often the browbeating of the lawyers, or they
have shrunk from the trouble and responsibility
of the case, and by granting new trial, even
upon frivolous pretexts, have placed the onus of
condemnation upon some other magistrate.
We hope that the precedent laid down on
Saturday by Judges Roosevelt, Sutherland and
Lott win I've followed by the other Judges of this
county, and we will soon find the good effect of
such a course in the diminution of crime in our
midst
