Mr.. Douglas in Louisiana.

Miles Taylor, Chairman of the Douglas Ex.
ecutive Committee, has gone to Louisiana
to organize that State for an efficient can
vas, but will resume his position here in a
few weeks. Hiscircular, protesting against
any coalition with the Breckenridge in
terest in any State, or upon any terms,
was his last and most signal act. He is
opposed to giving or taking quarter, and is
determined to follow Mr.. Slidell and his in.
struments in the South to the last extrem-
ity.
MR.. DOUGLAS TO HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE
MIR. Douglas friends, after full ccnsulta.
tion, have determined to put him in nomina.
tion as candidate for the Presidency in
1854, Immediately after the November
election, be the result what it may. They
are resolved that his competitor Shall moi
bave control Of the Democratic organiza.
tion, to which the contest is now mainly
directed, but intend to continue the fight
to the bitter. As Messrs. Breckenridge
and Douglas are both young, they may in.
dulge the qualification of protracted rival.
ry, in which we can afford to wish them all
Joy.

UNDEcIDED.-An number of our Virginia
cotemporaries of the Democratic stripe
have not yet decided under which banner
they will fight. In reviewing the Difficult,
ties under which the party are now encom-
passed, the Romney Argus says:
"If either one of the Democratic candi-
dates have half the strength in the opposite
section that his friends confidently claim for
him, the inevitable consequence must be
that Lincoln will carry every northern, and
Bell and Everett, every southern State.
Should Lincoln carry the free States, he
will receive 1873 electoral votes, when l53
is all that is necessary to elect him.
"Of the Democratic papers in Virginia,
which have defined their positions so far
as we are informed, IA are for Brecken-
ridge and Lane, and are for Douglas and
johnson. In view of these facts, is there
a sane man in Virginia, who can entertain
the idea for moment that Bell and Ev-
erett will not carry the State by an over
whelming majority? 1t is an admission
we are panied to make, but il is folly and
madness to console ourselves with impos-
sibilities."

shooting Affray at Warsaw, Ill

We are informed that on the evening of
the Sd inst, Orndorf, a commission mer-
chant at Warsaw, having some suspicion
that all was not right with his wife, noticed
her through the window reading some let
ters, which she deposited in drawer on
his coming in. He pretended net to no
tice it, but after they retired be made some
excuse for getting up, and read the letters.
They proved to be from one Robert Ster-
ling, clerk till lately, in the store of
johnson & Hunt. His worst suspicious
were confirmed. In the letter he professed
that be was the father of one of her chill
dren, and. urged her to elope with bim.-
Orndorff taking his pistol passed down to
a saloon where he knew Sterling was apt to
spend his evenings 10 late hour. As ne
approached Sterling, who sat playing DOM
inoes, Sterling turned TO see who was COM
ing, when Orndorff shot him in the mouth,
the ball passing out through his neck, and
cutting bis tongue nearly out. Sterling
rose to escape, when Orndroff shot him
again, making only flesh wound in his
side, and again shooting, making only a
slight wound on the hip. Sterling started
to 90 out, when fourth shot was fired,
which missed; Sterling gained the street,
and was chased by Orndorff nearly around
the square, when Sterling went up stairs
and locked the door, which his pursuer be-
gan to kick down, declaring be would kill
him. Some friends arrived and told him
Sterling was dead-but this did not avail,
as Orndorff said be knew better. He was,
however, taken away and arrested. But he
has the letters in his possession, and says
he is sorry he has got to do the tragic
work over again.-Qnincy Waig Of Sat.

The German Republicans.

The German Republicans, Of Cleveland,
had ratification mass meeting, on Mon
day evening, at the Light Guard Arnory.
1t was an immense gathering, and was ad-
dressed by that eloquent young German
Republican, Carl Shultz. The Lincoln
Wide Awake Club escorted the distin-
guished orator from his hotel to the Hall
with blazing torches. Large numbers of
Germans, who formerly voted Democratic,
are now rallying in support of Lincoln and
free territory. s5Ha

Mammon versus Hymen.

The Greenfield (Mass.) Gazette has the
following.
"a curious circumstance occurred on We'd
nesday. A young man in this village pro-
cured clergyman to marry him, and after
the guests had assembled and the knot was
about to be tied, the would-be bridegroom
was called out of the house, and soon, in
forming the clergyman and guests that he
would be back in moment mysteriously
disappeared, and waiting an hour the cler-
gyman left for the Sunday school celebra-
ton, leaving the intended bride and her
friends in doubt as to the mysterious dis
appearance of the bridegroom. 1t subse-
quently appeared that person to whom
the bridegroom had loaned twenty-six dol
lars was about departing in the cars for
New York, and that friend had inform
ed him of the fact just as the clergyman
was about tying the knot, and thinking
that his intended wife was safer than his
money, left for the depot to collect his bor-
rowed money, before the train should de-
part. He got there just as the train was
starting, got on board the cars to find his
debtor friend and was carried off to North
ampton. He, however, collected his mon
ey, went to the telegraph office to in
form his intended bride where he was but,
could not find the operator, and started
for Greenfield afoot on the track. AT
Whatley the train overlook him; be got
into the cars and reached Greenfield at half
past three o'clock, to the great relief Of his
intended, and her friends. He immediate
ly took the lady to the clergyman's res
idence and had the ceremony completed"

EH Here is one of the signs of the
times in Indiana. The jackson Union
published at Brownstown, regular Dem
ocratic sheet, with the Democratic State
and County tickets placed at he head Of
its leading column, has the following par.
agraph in its issue of the 18th:
"During our absence in Ohio last week
the names of Douglas and johnson were
hoisted, contrary to our wishes. We have
taken them down and not intend to hoist
them until we can make up our mind to
vote for them, which we do not now feel
like doing.

NV Sn0 eeenui0ai AShI W MAKE laws and
manage Their own affairs, we hold that the
wisest practical solution of the controver-
sy between the two sections of the coun-
try, upon this point, is to acquiesce in their
exercise of that franchise-to commit to
them, with such restrictions as may be
found absolutely necessary, the practical
sovereignty over their own institutions apd
the regulation of their own affairs.
Such course is, at all events, in har-
mony with the spirit of our institutions,
and involves substantial justice to the peo-
pie of the Territories themselves, while it
works no injury to any section or any DOR:
ton Of the people of our common coun-
try. We are inclined to believe, moreover,
that it meets the viewsof the great body of
the American people more nearly than any
other course that has been, or can be, sug-
gested. Whatever ticket, therefore, may
be elected d,-whoeyer may be the Presi-
dent and Vice-President for the next four
years-we have very little doubt that the
people Of the Territories will be left prac-
tically to the control of their own affairs.-
especially in regard to the subject of Sla-
very
1t must be conceded, moreover, that the
course of events has rendered this ques-
tion one Of comparatively small impor-
tance. The condition of all the existing
Territories, SO far as Slavery is concerned,
is substantially fixed. The people with Or
without the consent of the Government,
have taken the control of this matter in
their own hands. Kansas is free Terrific
ry, and will be Free State, in spite of
the hostility Of the General Government.
Nebraska is free Territory, and the ter
ritories soon to be organized still further

will never suffer Slavery to take root
among them. 1t does not need the tr:-
umph of Popular Sovereignty ticket there
fore, to establish this principle as an ele-
ment of practical legislation, nor if it did,
could that result be secured by the election
of Douglas and johnson.

Our Washington City Correspondence.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 13. 1860.

'ooO'
| Editor Progress The standing committees of
! the House have been announced, and reference
to the list will show that with the exception of
some six or seven, they all have at their heads
the most intense Helperites. Five of the commit
tees presided over by South Americans; John
A. Gilmer. of n. c.. being at the head of the i'm
portant committee on Elections. This is quite a
shrewd move the part of the Republicans who
thus seek to express their gratitude for past SER
vices and the same time bind still more closely
to their party interests, these southern allies
While Gimer and Etheridge may be fattered
by this distinction (?) conferred by abolitionists
the majority of their party look upon it with dis
favor and the inevitable result will be that they
will not recognize such leaders and that these
two gentlemen who have all along played into
the hands of the Republicans will be thoroughly
identified with that party.
In connection with these committee appoint
ments let ME relate something of an amusing
character. A South American friend of mine,
who represents in part one of the valley States,
and who is acknowledged to be polished satirist
and fond withal of a good joke-discovered his
name registered as member of the committee on
Militia Assuming air of almost melancholy
gravity he approached Mr.. Tompkins, the Chair
man, and stated to him that he his com
mittee, and as he new member and his con
stituents expected him to make his mark here, he
desired to be posted as to the duties of commit
teeman on the Milita-where they held their
meetings, when, &c, &c. He told that it
met somewhere ;" in the Capitol and that tie
business was -, well it would appear when the
committee met. Vague answers from the Chair
man induced the humor loving member to extract
some fun out of the starchy Speaker The pri
vate colloquy something like this
Member Mr.. Speaker you have put me on
the Militia committee-what have to do-what
my duties p
Speaker Very important committee-very.

derfully neglected as find, after employing two

CONGRESS-
WASHINGTON, Feb. Is.
SENATE


The Senate to-day receded from the abolition
of the franking privilege, and passed the postal
bill by nearly unanimous vote. The bill was
signed by the President, and is law.
In the House three ballots were taken for print
er, Defrees lacking but one vote of election on the
last.
Various bills were introduced on various sub
iects including the French Spoation, the Tariff
Introduction of Polygamy in Utah. Pensions for
soldiers of 1872 and the admission of Kansas.
Mr. Pryor's resolution passed, instruchng
the Committee on Commerce to inquire into the
expediency of action, with view TO procure a re-
duction of foreign duties on tobacco.
A resolution was adopted authorizing the Ser
geant at Arms TO arrest Sanborn, John Brown, Jr.,
and Redpath for their contempt in refusing to
obey the summons of the Investigating Commit
tee.
After passing the Postal Bill the Senate took
up the bill abolishing the Franking Privilege,
which, after long debate, was passed The bill
cuts off all franking privilege after the 18th of
April, with the exception of those to whom the
privilege has been granted by name.
Only Hemphil and Williamson voted against 1t,

WHAT THEY INTEND TO DO-The Washington
correspondent of the n. Y. Evening Post, in re-
ferring to the difficulty between Messrs Edmund
son and Hickman says:
l think it is safe to say that the offence will
not again be repeated this winter, for erery Re
publican member acW henceorth be prepared for any
assault, at any time, ut the breakfast and dtn
ner table, for southern gentlemen choose most sin
guar places and occasions to attack northern Re
nresentatives. Some time ago when Mr.. Haskin
dropped his pistol from hls coat, Clemens, of Wiz
ginia, made great ado over it-he, however can
see why it is that members go armed. When nt
can teach his colleagues manners, let him call fol
disarmament, and not before.
