The TeUB SoKr or DIPLOMACY WITH Re-
FRAcToRy NAToNs--The prompt settlement
of the Paraguay difficulty, with the arrival II
the advanced guard of the fleet despatched to
assist Mr.. Commissioner Bown in his tiiplo-
matte labors in that quarter, proves the superio~
efficacy Of this sort of diplomacy over every
other kind, in all such cases. In this instance
the policy of the administration was seconded
by Congress, as in the matter Of the right Of
search, and in both cases the results have been
satisfactory. Had Congress, in the same spirit,
supported the Presidents recommendations
touching the affairs Of Mexico and Central Ame-
RIGA, we have no doubt that the wisdom of his
policy, as in regard to Paraguay, would have
been confirmed ere this in Mexico and in Mica
regua. Even us 1t is, without the cooperation
of Congress, MIR. Buchanan will, probably, during
the present year, bring our relations with Mexi-
CO and Central America into definite and sa.is.
factory shape. The game of our adyersaries In
those countries, instead of being already WOO.
has como to halt, aid our cool and sagaclous
President thus holds the winning cards in his
hands. Perhaps, in this connection, he may yes
require an extra session of the new Congress to
grant the very powers which the last denied; but
from the present aspects Of all this business, Mr..
Buchanan will be competent, sioglc-handed, 10
cool and selfpossessed chief magistrate is =
good safeguard in these days OF political con-
fusion and revolution.

PENNSYLVANIA STATE CONVENTION OF DEMO
CRATIC BOLTERs-The State Convention (called
by the boilers from the regular Democratic State
Convention at Harrisburg in March LAST will
meet at Harrisburg to-day. The regular Con
vention of March endorsed the federal admins
tation Of Mr.. Buchanan, but positively re-
fused to endorse the democratic Governor of the
State, MIR. Packer. And wherefore? Because
when Mr. Buchanan, as he was bound to do, took
bis position in favor Of the LecOmpton State con-
stitution for Kansas, Gov. Packer went off at a
tangent with Messrs. Douglas, Walker, Stanton,
Wise and Forney, in opposition to the President,
and in support Of that impracticable humbug,
Territorial popular sovereignty" This ap-
pears to be the issue upon which the democracy
of Pennsylvania have at length been divided into
two clashing factions; but unquestionably the
Disappointment Of Tom, Dick and Harry in re-
gard to their expected allowances of the spoils
and plumber have had much more to do with this
democratic split than "Lecompton,v popular
sovereignty" estate rights" or any other poll
teal abstraction.
From all appearances this boters' Convention
Will disclose the existence of pretty extensive
democratic faction in the old Keystone State on
the same side of the fence. The split somewhat
resembles that Of the New York democracy Of
1913 upon the slavery question, and we pre-
sumo the result will be the same--the in
evitablc loss of tho State to the party in the
Presidential election; and perhaps another free
soil Northern democratic ticket for the Presiden-
cy In 1860, Ia Van Buren,. In this connection
we await the Developments of the strength
objects and drift Of this rcbcllious convention
the first day proceedings Of which we expect to
lay before our readers tomorrow. Revolution
is the order Of the day.

TIE REMOVAL OF QUARANTINE,-The bill for
the removal of Quarantine, which passed the
Assembly some time ago, was adopted in the
Senate on Monday, and the receipt of that intel
lgence was the occasion Of much rejoicing
among the Staten islanders A. fen de .joie yester-
day announced to the inhabitants of Richmond
county that henceforth the nursing place of res
thence was not to be located ut their doors.
This is all very well for the residents of Staten
Island; but it becomes serious quotion, in
view of the general health of this city What Or
rangements are to be made to protecths from
the dangers Of imported disease. This act pro-
vides that no quarantine buildings shall be
erected in Richmond county, in Kings county, or
within mile of the latter, but it doe not pre-
scribe any other location. Before may weeks
the summer season will be. upon us-a period
when contagious diseases may be ct any mo-
ment brought into our midst from infected
foreign ports Already, early as the season is,
one vessel has arrived here after having lost
three Of her crew from yellow fever on The pas
sage. We are now at the mercy Of such acct
dents, and unless the Legislature makes some
provision for the publication of infected cargoes,
the prospect for the coming summer is something
fearful to contemplate.
In case of this nature half meaMres are most
disastrous Either Quarantine should have been
left on Staten Island, OF some measure should
have been adopted to keep sickly vessels pc
remptorily in the lower bay until they are puri-
fed.

THE BANKRUPT GOVERNMENTS OF EURoPE.-
Every few weeks we hear of some one or other
of the European governments shining for money
among the Jews. There is, in fact, not oae OF
them that can meet its expenses during the pre-
sent season of armed peace, with its current re-
venue, and they therefore endeavor to negotiate
their drafts on postcrty. A little while ago Sar-
DINA tried the money changers of London aud
Paris, and, not succeeding with them, drew a few
millions from her own subjects on the strength of
the war fever. Austria then came forward for
thirty millions Of dollars, but, finding no takers
at home or abroad, is now running on tick.
Then came Russia, borrowing sixty millions,
which she obtained through new set of agents.
England followed, asking for twenty-five Millions
of dollars, which it Is now stated must be in
creased to sixty millions, to cover the deficit in
her Indian budget The last customer that has
appeared ON change is France, who, having got
all that can be drawn from the Bank of
millions of dollars more to cover up deficiencies.
The coolest part of the financial outgivings
among the money lenders IL, that they do not
want to negotiate any loans just now for il
hostilities are prevented there will be several
more borrowers in the market. That is to say,
that these spendthrift governments have run out
their credit.in the money market, and that their
only chance to get more is to stir up the war
fever among their subjects. They know that if
they can work men up to fighting point they
can then induce them TO pour out both their
blood and their treasure. This shows how
thoroughly rotten is the financial system of all
those impositions called governments in Europe,
How long will three hundred millions of civil
lied men consent to be p'tted and provoked
against each other, that they may be plundered
by few selfish family dynasties, and supply the
gliding and tinsel Of q crowd of imbecile cour-
tiers? Common sense, who is making vast steam
and electric strides through the world, tells US
that the whole fabric of the European political
system is rotten, and is fast approaching its final
ruin.

KEEPING JURTEs ToGETuER-TuE ACTION OF
JUDGE CRAwFoRD-We perceive from our re-
port Of the trial Of Mr.. Siokles at Washington.
that Judge Crawford understands his duty as re-
CARDS the keeping of a jury together ia case al
capital felony, and has hit the mean between the
old baIbaiOus custom of England aud the too
great laxity Of our courts in New York, who
generally permit jurors TO go each to bis own
home. By the ancient usage of English Law,
juries were deprived Of food, driak, fire
and candle, the object being two-iold-frst,
to keep the head clear by leaving the stomach
empty; and, secondly, by the pressure of bun
ger and general discomfort to cOerce the jury
to hasten its verdict Many were the stratagems
to which juries resorted to get food-such as let
ting down from window piece of cord, to
which some kind friend on the watch outside at
tacb.d paper of sandwiches, or something more
substantial. Often men in delicate health be-
came sick by protracted fasting and cold, owing.
perhaps, to one obstinate juror, with whom the
favorite expression was that he would eat his
boots rather than submit. Within the last twenty
years change has taken place, and English
Judges, when the trial occupies more than
one day, allow the jury to go to some
hotel in charge Of sworn officers, though
some old fogies will not consent even to that.
This is sometimes done in New York-for ex-
ample, in the case of DR.. Graham, of New Or
leans, indicted for the murder of Col Loring att
the St. Nicholas Hotel, five years ago. But the
general course is to allow jures to separate audi
90 home which has been pronounced nv the
highest authorities to be Illegal, and is presented
by counsel as ground Of appeal in the case
of Stephens, convicted of numbering bis wife BY
poison. Judge Crawford, while INDUCING the
jury in food and drink, and even recreation, does
not permit them to separate. Their verdict, on
this account, will not be the less in accordance
with sound judgment, but likely to be more in 1
copsonaDce with truth and justice, and every
correct principle.

BUsY.-A certain well known Lecompton-
lite was on the bank of the river, Tuesday,
among the deniEens there residing, industri-
ously working against Judge Singer, among
the foreign voters. His text was a ridiculous
communication in the Express, in which q
pretended conversation was reported, where
IN one of the colloquists said that it was
strongly limited" that Judge Singer once
made speech about the foreigners and de-
clared that he never wanted "any aid from
shillelahs and lager beer to elevate him to
office" With this humbugging and nonsens-
cal article the distinguished "Lecompton
cuss" in question was "splurging' all along
the bank of the river, trying to influence
Irish votes. Vain effort The Irish of this
city are all we'll acquainted with Judge
Singer, and they know that he was never
identified with the Know Nothings at all
lie went into the X. N. order, on challenge.
to test the truth of his belief in regard to
their Principles-nothing more-and after
satisfying himself on that head, he quit the
order and attended the first Democratic meet
sng which convened in this place to reorgan
lze the Democratic Party. And long before
that meeting, he had publicly disavowed and
denounced the principles of the Know
Nothing fraternity. As to his alleged re-
mark about shillelahs and lager beer, of
