OF the sloop. IL Lad evidently been In the water
many weeks. The features were very much de-
composed ami y e body swollen. There were ap.
peaIances as Of wounds having been inflicted,
which tended still more to confirm the belief that
it was that of the murdered man. The body was
removed to the dead house yesterday afternoon.
Last evening Surgeon Ball, accompanied by
Captain Wilson, brotheTin-law OF Capt Burr,
and lady, sisterin-law of the deceased, visited
the dead house and viewed the body A critical
examination was made by the relatives, and both
expressed themselves a. positive that il was not
the remains Of Captain Burr. Still, they could not
account for the name marked On the clothing, and,
therefore, AFTER making further inquiry, will re-
sumo the examination day. The body Is about
five feet seven inches in height, stoutly built dark
brown hair, gray whiskers, joints OF great toe on
each foot large, spots on one cheek that look Like
peck marks. Owing to the want OF light last even

injuries we're Il result Of violence before death or
were post mortem That fact will be determined
this morning.

Party Struggles and Partisan Qusrrels-
| Present Aspect OF the Political Field.
The struggle between the several leaders of
the old democratic party organization Is being
carried on with vigor In many quarters, and
| portends some very curious and complicated
results II the several cliques do not return to
the rule Of reason.
In Washington 1t has usurped the floor of
The Senate, to the almost complete displacement
Of the public business. Davis, Douglas, Ma
son and others have carried on the debate
there for some days. and yesterday we gave
the speech Of Senator Benjamin. While the
majority Of the Southern democratic leaders
are thus engaged in endeavoripg to de.
monstra'e the error and the Inconsistent
cy Of Senator Douglas views, his personal
adherents are making extraordinary efforts
to get up popular demonstrations In his
favor Partial and necessarily limited as
these are, they will exercise an influence on
the general party organization, and evince o
disposition on the part Of his adherents to run
Senator Douglas for the Presidency, with or
without a regular nomination, aud with or
without prospect Of success. OF this charac-
ter are the public meetings which have been
held, in this city night before last, and recent.

menis are also being made to get up a
Douglas movement In the South, and to send
delegates favorable to him to the Baltimore
Convention, 10 the exclusion Of the seeding
delegations, which are convened TO meet at
Richmond.
The retult OF these movements. divisions and

affairs, is pregnant with danger to the whole
country. Much, therefore, depends on the
proceedings Of the Convention next month
at Baltimore. Ii wisdom rules Its couu.
