G6y~ The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Press, in recounting the
trials of the Democracy in its present dis
tracted condition says, upon distinct in
formation. that orders have beeen issued to
the office-holders of the different States to
use every name in every locality that can
be used for the purpose of injuring Judge
Douglas. While the Democratic people see
in Stephen 4. Douglas the only sign by
which they can conquer in 1860, the Admin
istratiOn are resolved, with the power still
remaining in their hands, to cover the De-
mocracy with defeat, rather than that VIC
tory should be secured by Stephen A Doug
las. Hence, the largest liberty is extended
to the ofIice-holders to divide and destroy
the Democratic party. They are authorized
to seize upon any candidate but Douglas. II
they find the name of Seymour useful for
New York, then they are directed to use il
if Guthrie, then Guthrie-if Breckenridge
then Brickenridge-and in Indiana, the
name of General 10 Lane is to be held up as
a rallying point. And new series of can.
didates will also be improvised, and, in or.
der to make confusion worse confounded
the troops of the Administration in Illinoi:
are commanded to double-set the Illinoi:
delegation to the Charleston Convention, GO
ing, as that delegation will go, pledged tc

e. The general prosperity of the West |

ry@ The general prosperity of the West
seems to be reviying from The dull languor
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the past
twdor three years. The nusua lIy large wheat
crop of Michigan Illinois, Wisconsin and
Iowa, has raised the spirits and quickened
the life of those northwestern States, into
renewed activity and confidence. Iowa and
Wisconsin especially, have for the past two
years of financial rcyulsion, borne peculiar
hardships; public works have stood still,
trade has stagnated, and evencommon labor
in mechanics and agriculture had lost its
yiror since it lost its reward. If the corn
and other minor crops turn out with even
the average product they now promise there
is no doubt the present year win give the
West an immense surplus. The question of
recovery of the West from the late shock in
resources has been only a question of time.
1t is not possible that Land blessed with
such unlimited natural resources, and a pop
ulation so awake and energetic should be
| depressed for any great length of time. The
people in the border States of the West have
made mistakes but none are now more SEN
sible of it than themselves. They have in
dulged too freely in speculation, and have
embarked in every legitimate adventure
without measuring the extent of their avail
able means. Their great fault has been an
over-weaning ambition and impatience to
become in day what older States have only
done in a generation. But by dear ex.
perience they have learned much, and the
remaining hope is mixed with a commend
able spirit of caution. The more apparent
signs of returning prosperity are evineed il
the towns, and in the termination of thu
railroads. With scarcely an exception, W,
are informed that incompleted Western rail
roads that have been at stand-still for tn,
past eighteen months, are now being pushe(
ahead with new life, and inspiring new con
fidence in the people. Western marts 70
produce, such as Chicago, Milwaukee, Ii
Crosse, Davenport and Keokuk, are exhibit

various projected railroad lines are beinl
pushed rapidly on to completion, and W
soon expect to see a revival of trade, and
general increase of prosperity Throughout

which Mr.. z. w. Palmer was shot, but not
fatally wounded, by his brother-in-law, Jo-

had been created between Palmer and his
wife by some misconduct on his part, and
the wife talked of leaving him. Missing his
gun few days since, he went to Harding's

Being told that it was not, he then inquired
if his wife was there, and receiving a mega

The Future Capital Of the United

The New York Express contains some
speculations in regard to the removal of the
capital of the United States at q period, per-
hapS, not so far in the future as some might
conclude Where and in what State will it
be located? Who can tell2 If capitals
are located according to the geographical,
centres of countries, as they unquestlonably
should be, then it seems to be certain that
Washington, being located wide of the geo.
graphical centre of the United States, can
not reasonably continue to be the seat Of the
Federal Government. But in removing the
capital-if ever it is removed-the name
should go with it. There can be no substi-
tute for WASHINGTON, a name sacred to
every American heart.
Although there can be but little doubt
that within the next twenty years move
ment will be made to change the seat of
Government to some point more central than
the present one, yet twill be with the keen
est regret that the people of the old States
shall witness its removal. twill be diff
cult task to tear the Government away from
place so Intimately blended with the past
history of the nation. But the Great West
is filling up with its millions. while the old
States increase in population slowly, and the
West will one day assert the right with
which superiority in numbers invests it,
and then resistance to its claim will be I'M
awaiting. t.
There are serious obstacles in the way Of
removal, however, which may not be easy
to overcome. First, the almost fabulous
sums of money which have been expended
in rendering the national capital what it is
to day. How could the capital itself be dis
posed of so as to enable the Government tc
realize one-fourth of the money which i
cost? What mode can be suggested by
which the public buildings could be disposed
of at a 1.-THE of their value, estimating tina
value by the amounts actually paid for thei
construction?
Cincinnati or st. Louis, in the ordinary
course of events, must soon come to be TIN
centre of population, and then we may ex
pect to see those cities vieing with eacl
other in the strife for the possession or loca
of the new capital. The great States grow
ing up on the Pacific shores will clamor t
have the national capital brought down nal
way and the welfare of the country ma.
require this to bedone much sooner than W
we are now aware.

BA- A few days ago, two men, named
Chas Smith and August Ehrman, were ar
rested in Louisville for having horse in
their possession which, it was supposed, had
been stolen. Mr.. Miller, livery stable
keeper, of Cloverport, went to Louisville and
identified the horse as one he had snapped
to Ehrman for another. 1t appears that
Smith, representing himself as butcher
in this city, hired the horse from Mr..
Bowles, to go out into the country to buy
stock. He went to Cloverport, and got
Ehrman to swap Bowles' horse for one of
Millers, receiving $50 to boot. The latter
horse they took to Louisville, where they
fell into the hands Of the police. Ehrman
was taken to Cloverport and Smith was
brought to this city. He was committed to
Jail on Thursday night to await an exami-
ton.

GtA. Tomorrow is Sunday. IL is q day
for quiet and rest. 1t is also day for wor-
ship. People assemble in the churches at
the ringing of the bells. Bells, moreover,
answer admirably for this purpose, when
they are rung just. enough and no more;
but we have heard few bells rung on the
Sabbath in such manner as to become a
nuisance. 1t is hard for one in q civilized
and christianized community to pronounce
church a nuisance, but churches, like all
other institutions, are liable to be abused,
and to abuse their own privileges. There
is one church in this city whose bell ringing,
at this season of the year especially, when
all the doors and windows of the dwellings
are compelled to be left open, we regard as a
great nuisance and, though none in its
neighborhood will fail TO understand what
one We mean without naming it out, yet for
tue information of those in the suburbs we
will say it is the bell of Mr. McCarer's
church--the New School Presbyterian. Ii
is a very loud and harsh-toned bell, and is
usually rung about twice as many times as
is necessary, and three times too long at
each ringing. For instance, it is rung three
and often four times in the afternoon for
little prayer meeting, or something of the
kind, and each ringing of about II dozen
| times through the day is accompanied by the
insane bowls, banks, and yells of all the ner-
vous dogs in the neighborhood from the
longest-eared hound down to the most inSig-
nificant and contemplate fiste the mon
grel chorus is kept up. Besides, there is a
| proper and improper mode Of ringing bell
for church service. The ringing, like the
holy worship it foretells, should be quiet,
reverential, and solemnly slow. The
churches in all the large cities in this coun-
try have adopted the plan of tolling their
bells for worship, instead of the auctioneer
and tavern style OF jingling used in country
towns. When there is n wedding or a fire,
a fourth Of July, Christmas, or New Years
morning, it is fitting and customary for the
bells to chime and ring out merriIy, and ic-
| gardlesS of noise unless it is to see how
much can be made; butwhere is the sense OF
disturbing the quiet of the holy Sabbath,
and hooking the solemnity of divine service,
by jerking the church bells crazy, as though
the whole city was on fire, everybody had
got married at once, each family in town
| was to have an auct ion of old clothes, and 6
thousand milkmen'S carts were ringing anC
rafting by2 Several churches in the city
have'no bells at all, and yet the people &C
to worship in them punctually, and we pre-.
sums the Lord hears them just as though HI
was not presumed to be asleep and sought t.
be awakened by the oit-repeated clangor of (
disc ordant bell. To those living near sucl
bell with such unnecessary ringing, it il
just as unpleasing and annoying as the belli
and whistles of steamboat or a locomotiy,
would be beside their open windows. W,
hope Mr. Bates, the sexton, win do tn,
neighborhood kindness, and himself ;
physical and moral benefit by doing littl,
less work at the bell rope tomorrow.
