CITY AND COUNTY

THE CAUCUS THIS EvENING.-The first
caucus preparatory to the city election will be
held at the City Hall, this evening, for the
specific purpose of considering the proposition
which is fully stated in the official call. The
experience of the last few months has been
such as to show the propriety of some change
in the mode OF conducting the general caucus
es of the city. Under circumstances which
excite peculiar and especial interest, and call
out a very general representation of the party,
not only are caucuses incOnveniently crowded,
but thoughtful and mature dcliberaton is al,
most impossible. 1t is believed that by the
method which is suggested for adoption, both
objections are removed, while in the great ma
jority of instances a tairer and more uniform
representation of the interests of the whole
city is secured. So far as we have heard ex-
pressions OF opinion ON the subject, they have
generally been friendly to the change; and if
after due consideration, the plan proposed
should be adopted, the results in many re.
sspect would be Sautary,

the 3d inst, between our friend u.
Council Jr., and the rcdoubtable Sam
Douglas of Ninton, on the political is
sues ofthe day, during which, the i'm
maculate Sam was pretty ctfectually
used up. During the discussion Sam,
for some cause or other, pitched into
our friend Stivers, who was also pres
ent, in the most approved Billingsgate.
But poor sam reckoned without his
Host. After he got through with his
TRADE, Mr.. Stivers addressed the au-
dicnce in telling speech in which he
perfectly skinned the old Black guard
alive. Persons who were present in
form us that the would-be-Secrctary Of
State never was SO roughly handled be-
fore in all his chequcrcd political exist

The End Of Fusion,

''The National Democracy Of the
State Of New York. have put out a
proclamation detailing their efforts to
obtain fusion Of the DouGLAs Sqnat-
teritcs, ana the failure Of their efforts
The fusion, it seems. was urged by the
President Of the United States and the
members Of the Cabinet. They say in
their proclamation:
Acting in pursuance to the urgent
personal advice of the President of the
United States, the members of his cab
met, and the Breckenridge and Lane
National Executive Committee, and
impelled by what appeared to be the
desire of a large number of our eonstit-
uents, we proposed, if it could be effect
ed honorably, to combine with the
Douglas party and it's allies upon a sim
gle ticket for Presidential electors and
State officers.
BY an almost unanimous vote of our
committee, we went rs far as selt.re-
spect, honor and sound policy would
warrant in an endeayor to attain this
object; our overtures have been insul-
tingly refused, and the negotiations alb
ruptly brought to an end. For the
last time the opportunity has been Civ
en- to the Douglas organization to con-
solidate in this State the votes Of the
opponents Of the Republican party.
they have rejected the opportunity as
Thy rejected it at the Charleston Con
vention and at Baltimore, thereby
forcing upon us the painful conviction
that they desire the defeat of the Dem
ocracy and the election of Lincoln to
the Presidency; for all believe that the
Republicans will carry this State, there
being two Democratic tickets in the
field.

Much 10 the surprise Of everybody
the County Fair which went off
yesterday, was highly creditablc to
all concerned. The failure of the
last, had somewhat discouraged us.
and the little excitement manifested
previous to this, had prepared our.
minds for less success. But it ap.
pears that the energetic officers of the
society were at work and the result of
their labors was the most spirited ex-
hibition ever held in the county. Early
in the morning the teams Of our Far
mers might be seen coming into town
from every direction, and by noon the
Public Square was alive with Horses
Mules, Jacks and Cattle, while in the
pens surrounding the fair grounds
were exhibited some as fine Sheep and
Hogs rs it has been our lot to see for
long time.
The rooms which the officers had
selected for the exhibition ofmammoth
Pumpkins and other products of the
soil were well filed with the various
articles usually on exhibition on SINH
lar occasions, we will refrain from par
ticularizing until our next issue, when
we will endeavor to publish the list of
Premiums and notice more particularly
some ofthe things which we saw OH
the grounds. Suffice it for the pres
Ont to say that ifthe same amount of
enthusiasm is manifestated next year,
we may look for a Fair that will confer
a lasting honor upon the agricultural
interests Of the county.

Sk,OyGIyG OUT DEBTS.

There IS great cutlery in some quar-
tiers whenever Congress or the State
Legislature make an effort to reduce, to
a sensible system, the principle which
would relieve an unfortunate debtor. Of
OF his accumulation of legal ills.
1t IS a characteristic of the nature
Of dog, that when he discovers one
OF his species in affection, he worries
him when he finds him lame and help
less, he pursues and persecutes him.
AS far as certain neutrality-suspicious.
on bankruptcy are concerned, this
is characteristic of humanity. They
worship with importune idolatry the
child OF success; but failure, they visit
not only with scorn, but severe retri-
button. They adore the symbol of af-
fiuence-no matter how that afilucnce
has been acquired, but they pursue to
the death the representative Of Misfor-
tune, however made by honesty, and
on bis track they place the ban-dogs Of
the law, to render him forever after
incapable Of profitable exertion-
This is looking at the question only
in moral, not a business light. But
III any light, a bankrupt law which
releases from liability the upright
man, who really cannot liquidate his
obligations, is a something "devoutly
to be wished for" and so is a law
which will compel rogues who enrich
themselves by failure to disgoree
the means they abstract from the pock.
cts Of their creditors.

AN ITEM FOR SENATOR DoUGLAs.-
Mr.. Douglas charges, in his Norfolk
speech, that Mr.. Breckenridge was
nominated to elect Lincoln, while he il
well aware that his own course is the
only course which will make that event
possible
As an answer to this, however, we
were called upon Yesterday by promi-
nent Democrat Of New Jersey, who re-
lates to us that previous to the late
Convention in that State, that two Of
D u@las' supporters called upon him
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, in this city.
When they informed him ofthe terms
Of union likely to be adopted in that
Stat, Mr.. Douglas denounced them
openly and nnreserredly. They replied,
"Why, Mr.. Douglas. your advice would
certainly give the State to Lincoln
"Wen let It. 1t ,ciH gire as the or
gnnisaticn IN 1864" was Mr.. Douglas

about pint and ha'f Of lard, the
albumen Of several eggs, and quite a
quantity Of sweet mix.
On examination Of the pulse, 7 found
it quite accelerated with occasional
Involuntary twiching Of the muscles
and was told by the patient that he
had felt quite stiff, and had TO be sup
ported by his friends. Now these
symptoms, | consider as sure indica-

effect on the system. | consequently
prescribed an active emetic, which
evacuated the stomach thoroughly,
dislodging a great quantity OF curd
and no doubt some of the poison. The
patient continued to improve and when

| wish to say, that in my opinion, Mr..

very proper and timely administration

Douglas and his Popularity In
Maine and Vermont.

Ill the National Convention, nj
Charleston and at Baltimore, Maine
and Vermont, from first to last, on
every ballot and on every question,
was for Douglos or acknowledgements
or eteat-Rule or Ruin The very
name Of Douglas, the delegates from
those States said, would be hailed as Il
harbingcr Of victory---it would give
the Democracy the prestage Of sue
cess-thc Republican leaders were
afraid Of Douglas-Donclas could
sweep every Congressional District in
the State--Douglas was the man, the
only man, who could sweep Maine and
Vermont from the Black Republicans
and place them III the column as DEM
ucratic States. For these reasons be-
cause all the Democracy, one fourth,
ut least Of the Republicans. and fully
two-thrds of the Know Nothings were
for Douglas. Douglas must be the man,
and they would pledge Vermont for
1000 or 5000, and Maine by still
larger majority for him at the Frcsi-
dental aud at the State election.
The delegates from Vermont had in
| that Convention, a voice two iitth>
greater than Delaware or Florida
which are Democratic-one- fifth great
er than Arkansas, California, or Texas
and that voice was given for Douglas
and against the candidates Of the Dem
ocra,c States. The delegates from
Maine outnumbered, and hence her
voice was greater than that OF New
Jersey, Louisiana, or Mississippi-was
equal to that OF South Carolina-was
equal to Texas and California combined
greater than the combined vote OF
Florida and Arkansas-all Democratic
States-aiid it was given to Douglas,
because, rs the delegates said. Doug
las could carry Maine and make her
again Democratic.
Vermont has had her State election
and so has Maine, and the result sh ows
why it was that the Republicans were
anxious to secure Mr.. Douglas as tic
candidate of the Democracy. IN eacl

Dfplheria and its Cure.

This singular disease which has thus
far seemed to battle the skill of our best
physicians, has become SO prevalent
and has been SO generally fatal, that
any suggestion III regard to Its cure
will hardly prove embarrassing. Its
causes are not known. and therefore
all treatment has heretofore been mere
~ experimental but its pathoynomon-
ic symptoms are 50 diversified and dis
similar that III many instances the
throat Of the patient closes, and he
dies before his disease has been dis
covered.
The .liagnostic bywllich it is known
from other complaints If the threats,
is the formation of 4 membrane which
increases gradually until the patient is
literally >tran.ied TO death. 1t is some
times accompanied by liberation, and
extreme pro>tratlon of the entire sy>-
tenn. and at others by neither Of these
symptoms, vet in either case it is G.
qually fatal TO arrest the formation
Of this membrane would therefore seem
equivalent to curing the disease, and
this in most instances may be done IN
the following manner:
In the early stages Of the complaint,
which is always accompanied by q
soreness and swelling Of the throat, let
the patient use Il simple solution Of
salt and water, rs 4 gargle, every hf-
teen minutes. 1t the same time mois-
ten piece OF flannel with solution
Of the same kind made as warm as
the patient can bear it. and bind it
around his throat renewing it as often
rs the gargle is administered, and in
the meanwhile spa,inll;ng fine salt be-
tween the flannel and the neck, Use
inwardlv some tonic or stimulant, either
separately, or if the prostration be
great, use both together. The treat
ment, as may be seen, is extremely
simple, and if used in the earlier stages
Of the disease, will effect complete
cure Lincnan,; Daily Press, Sept. p.
