by this time, that railways were as a golden
mine to them. They sat at railway boards,
sometimes selling to themselves their own
land, at their own price, and paying them
selves with the money of the unfortunate
stockholders. Others used the railway
mania as convenient, and to themselves
inexpensive, mode of purchasing constituent

A Visit to the Mother Of Stephen A
Douglas.


Douglas.
Editorial Correspondence of the Troy Wing Opposition
Paper)
CLIFTON SPINGs, July 6, 1860
Passing day here, was glad to accept
the offer by resident of the village of an
introduction to the family of Hezekiah
Granger. Mr.. Granger many years ago
married the widow Of DR.. Douglas, of Bran
don, Vermont, and the mother of Stephen
A. Douglas, the Democratic candidate for
the Presidency
The residence of the venerable but most
agreeable couple lies about two miles south
of the Clifton Springs Hotel. fthe many
elegant farm houses of Ontario county, that
of Mr.. Granger will rank among the first 1t
is of wood, three stories and covers cOrsid-
cradle ground. Its snowy whiteness, with
Venet an blinds and latced doors, the wells
cared-for walks approaching and SURF ound-
ing it, hemmed in by sbrubbery and plants,
and Out-hOuses, at once neat and ample, and
the broad fields stretching to the north and
south, mark the spot as the house of the
thrifty and cOntented farmer. 1t is just
such picture of rural quiet and elegance
that poets have celebrated in verse that
dramatists have painted to my lady love in
the play, and denizens of the cities envy so
often as they pass, and think of the inmates
as those who have nothing left to sigh for:
"What is the world to them,
Its pOmp. its pleasures, and its nonsense alp
The family consists of Mr.. and Mrs.
Granger, the son, Julius N. Granger Esq,
and his vile. An unusual relationship ex-
lists between the older and younger mar.
ried couples. The elder Granger married
the mother of his sons wife the latter being
the only sister of Stephen A. Douglas. The
younger Mr.. Granger was absent at the
time of my visit He was daily expected
here with Mr.. Douglas himself.
The neatness and elegance of the residence
outside, and the grounds are we'll reflected
by the taste and order which prevail within.
The day was damp and cold, and made the
cheerful fire in the parlor to which the SER
want conducted US, the more pleasant.
Among the wall adornm ents, eft though

elegant steel plate engraving of the Little
Giant"
The first of the household to meet US was
the younger Mrs. Granger. She is a lady
of some forty years, accomplished, and of
intelligent and agreeable discourse. 1t was
apparent that she had a just pride and inter-
est in the name and fame of her distinguished

PROGRESS IN ITALY.

The steamer Kangaroo, which has arrived
at New York from Liverpool and Queenstown,
gives us no later news, but adds an important
item which has not appeared in previous dis
patches. This item is as follows lie Nord
says that on Monday couriers left London and
Paris with identical instructions to the repre-
sentatives of the two powers at Turin, direct
ing them to make known to the Sandman
Cabinet that the governments of France and
England see no objection to the annexation OF
Central Italy becoming a fat dccomph."
This intelligence is generally received as cor
rect, because it is what was expected. France
and England, -or, rather, France, with the
consent and approval of England-will settle
the Italian question without the aid of a con-
gress. Those who have most doubted the in
tentions of Louis Napoleon now constrain-
ed to admit that he means well by the people
of Italy, and that he is likely to do more to
secure and establish their independence, than
was distinctly signifed by the sudden truce at
Villafranca He understands his epoch, and
is likely to make good all the promise of his
famous declaration, at Milan, last summer.
The last news from Italy indicated that Tus-
cany and the Romagna were preparing for an
nexation to Sardinia. Annexation was voted
months ago, by great majorities. We shall
soon hear that Tuscany and Central Italy have
united with Piedmont and Lombardy, in elect
ing a Sandman Parliament; and then will
come the announcement that Victor Emanuel
has been proclaimed the welcome sovereign of
the new kingdom of Northern Italy, and a
parsonage of greatly increased Importance
among the powers" of Europe.
One result of this openly signifed policy of
Louis Napoleon is, GOODNESS, if not serious
quarrel between him and the Pope, or, rather
the Pope's prime minister and spokesman in
civil affairs, Cardinal Antonel How far the
Cardinal will venture to carry this quarrel does
not appear, but when we consider that the civil
power of the Pope in the city of Rome itself,
could not last a day without the protection of
French troops, there seems no likelihood that it
will amount to much. Nothing connected with
the affairs of Italy is more surprising, not to
say unaccountable, than the infatuation with
which the pope and his advisers cling to the
political Austrianism of Europe, as if they in
tended that the popedom should die with it.
In time past the civil affairs of the papal see
have been managed with wonderful shrewd-
ness, and with the closest and most practical
observation of human nature. 1t is very diff
ferent now

MIR. Douglas is probably the first choice of a
large majority Of the delegation. But as they
go in to win, they will not be likely to make
contest upon any candidate who takes the
lead. The vote for any Democratic candi-
date who might be nominated would, in this
state not vary far from the average vote of the
party jeff Davis would probably receive as
p'any' II not the same votes, as Mr.. Douglas.

DEATH OF A MILLIoNAIRE.-On Thurs
day, at noon, at the ripe age of "a years, Mr.
Stephen Whitney, one of the merchant princes
OF New York, passed away Mr. Whitney
was born at Derby, Conn, in 1776 and came
to tins city when mere boy. Obtaining a
situation as clerk in grocery store, he grad
ually worked his way up to competency, and
died the third richest man in New York. Mr.
Whitney married the daughter of Mr.. Hem
drick Snydam of Long Island, by whom he
had several children. OF these he leaves one
son, VIM. Whitney, and three daughters He
began life as groceryman and shipping mer-
chant, in which he continued many years. He
also dipped into the China trade when it was
most profitable, and specialized in stocks at
times. When he retired he was in the Liver
pool trade, owning several ships in the Ker.
mitt Line. Being man of great sagacity,
his opinion was generally deferred to in "the
street, and in the banking and other enter
prises in which he took part. For many years
he was Director in the Bank of America, and
in the Bank tf Commerce he held that position
from its foundation, as well as in the New
Jersey Railroad Company - offices which
he held up the period of his death
Mr.. Whitney retired from active mercantile
lit about thirty years ago, then quite
wealthy, and has ever since, by prudent in
vestments in real estate and sound paying
stocks, been adding to his wealth till it is esti.
mated that his accumulations amount to hard
upon eight millions of dollars. 1t was charac.
teristic of him that he always minded his own
business, kept his own books, and never had
anybody to take charge of his affairs, but al
ways conducted them himself. To the last he
was nleIhodieal and business-like as ever, the
very latest act he did being to take his check
book and lock il up in a drawer, taking the
