In discussing the 'availability'' of the gentle
men who are suggested for the Presidency, it is
necessary to consider something more than their
personal qualifications for the office and their re-
spective chances of success at the next election.
1t is proper to look beyond the coming contest,
and to take into account the peculiar embarrass-
ments which might be expected to surround the
administration of any one of the candidates.
There are times when the complications and dis
sessions in which the Government would be in
evitably involved through the elevation of GER
tain individuals to the Presidency can be clearly
foreseen. In such cases the withdrawal of an
otherwise unobjactonable candidate would be not
merely prudent, but the interests of the cause with
which he was identified would seem TO render sncb
course imperative. 1t is well worth while. at
this juncture, to glance at the prospective diff
cultes with which some of our possible PRESIDENTS
would have to contend, and particularly at those
which Mr.. D oUGLAs must encounter His name is
now so prominently before the Convention. and
his position is so peculiar, that we
cannot refrain from pointing out some of
the more obvious objections to his nomination.
If he was elected to the PRESIDENCY, he would
have to enter at once into struggle with the two
coordinate branches of the Government The
next House of Representatives will, in all proba-
bility, be composed of Republicans, who, it may
be taken for granted, would endeavor on all
occasions to thwart Administration to which
they were opposed. The Senate is filled with Mr..
DOUGLAS bitterest foes, and it is safe to presume
that they would so scrutinze his every act and
motive that the breach between him and them
would be daily widened Under such circum-
stances, it would be futile to suppose that peace
and quiet would characterize the country during
his term of office On the contrary, the continued
warfare which we might anticipate between the
PRESIDENT and Congress could be productive of
but one result. The most violent agitation would
soon be excited among the people, who would
naturally become the partisans of one of the con-
tending parties, and the stormest period of our
history might be comprised within the four years
of Mr.. DOUGLAS term. These forebodings are
not, we think, unfounded. 1t is impossible that
any man can fail to realize their Importance, who
reflects upon the extraordinary position in which
Mr. DOUGLAS would be placed, if he should be-
come PRESIDENT. If this is So it can scarcely be
necessary to cast about for other reasons to prove
the inexpediency of nominating him at this
time.

~ Is stated tnat the Committee on Credentials
VIII report this morning. The Majority Report
will, we understand, sustain the application Of tbe
contesting delegates from Alabama and Ior;s;o,.
and will propose to admit half of each party from,
Georgia and Arkansas, and the seeding delepa-
tons from Mississippi and Delaware. The fact that
the Florida and Texas delegates have made no an
plication for admission will simply be reported.
Mr.. HALLETT of Massachusetts, will, we learn, be
unseated, on the ground that he had delegated
his right to his alternate, Mr.. CHAFFEE. A Mi
nority Report proposing to admit all the seceders,
will also be presented. In case the Majority Re-
port should be adopted which the vote of New
York must determine, most of the Southern, and
a large number of the delegates from the Free
States will withdraw, on the ground that injus-
tice is done to the Southern delegations These,
oined by the Richmond delegates, will
meet In this city and dominate candiaatea

A Horse STuNG TO DEATH.-An occurrence of
very remarkable character took place at the resi-
dence OF VIM. b. Dorsey, Esq, in Urbana district,
on the Sth inst. 1t appears that the Rev. John p
Hall, of the Frederick circuit of the NJ f. Church,
called at Mr.. Dorsey's, and learning that he was
on another part of the farm, dismounted hitched
his horse to the fence and started on foot to find
Mr.. d. On the inside of the fence where the horse
was hitched, was stand of bee-hives, and during
Mr. Halls absence the bees attacked the horse uri.
ousy. Unfortunately the head-halter was new
and strong, and the efforts of the tortured animal
to disengage himself were fruitless. At length,
servant boy, yelled and gloved, was sent with
knife to cut the hitching strap, but when he came
to the rescue, he found the horses mouth wide
open and filled with bees, which literally stung
him to death. Violent Inflammation ensued and the
poor beast died of suffocation during the day.

had recently paid hundred and fifty dollars

THE Cosr OF TIE JAPANESE EMBAssY.-We learn
from reliable authority that the cost OF bringing
the Japanese from San Francisco to Washington
and entertaining them during twenty six days stay,
and cost of Government train to Philadelphia,
amounted to 1000, the items being as follows
Transportation across the Isthmus, $4,000; enter
tainment at Washington during twenty-six days
stay, including hack hire, wines, &C., ST AGO. char
ter of steamboat, Government trains, &C., $4,000.
Inc cost OF entertaining IHe JAPANESE III
phia for seven days will, it is said, amount to
SIS 900, being S. 900 than the appropriation,
and over ST. 900 more than during their whole stay
in Washington. 1t is quite likely, when the bills
come to be paid, there will be some scrutiny in
Councils for hack hire and other items that go to
swell up the amount.-Pha. Ledger.
DIRECT TRADE BETWEEN FRANCE AND NORFOLK Es-
TABLIsHED.-A company, composed of weknown
and leading business firms, has been formed in
Paris, with a capital of 100000 francs, for the
purpose of carrying direct trade with this
port and the Lone Star will arrive here about the
10Th OF September, with a cargo of goods assorted
10 SUIT the Virginia market The first cargo, the
one lately sold, was a venture and was gotten up
promscuously without any knowledge of what

A PEDESTRIAN ExcURsIoN.-A number OF young
men of Philadelphia, says the Inquirer graduates OF
the High School and the Pennsylvania University,
will start, in few days, upon pedestrian excur-
sion or foot tramp for Niagara Falls. The party
comprises some tried foot travellers Two of them,
we believe, have already made similar summer
jauns to Pittsburg, and one of them has walked to
the Schooleys Mountains and the Catskills. The
usual mode of procedure consists of a cool tramp
of sixteen miles in the early morning. the "bur
den and heat of the day. is passed in the pictu-
rescue retreat of some wayside inn, and further
journey of ten miles is made in the early evening
The luggage of the party will consist of an army
knapsack, buckled to the back and shoulders, con-
tanning only necessary clothing, and the indispen-
sable pipe. single change of wearing apparel is
deemed sufficient Tie route of travel lies along
the Lehigh river to Mauch Chunk, and ''cross
cut to Wkesbarre and Wyoming, thence up the
Susquehanna to Emira and (via the seven lakes)
to Niagara. Two weeks is calculated to be the ex-
tent OF time required for the tument of this part
of the programme The route home will be along
the Juniata and Alegany valleys The party
comprises seven young men, many OF whom are
excellent biologists and naturaists and fluent and
vigorous writers. We cannot but commend the
pleasures of a similar excursion to Young America
generally.

HEAT AND COLD AS DIsTNFECTANTS.-At the y a.
tiona Sanitary Convention in Boston, Dr. Harris, of
New York, read paper on Cheat Disinfec-
tant." 1t appears that the boiling of clothes
posed to infection had proved an efficient disinfec
tant. The heating Of hospital wards by common
stones to 100 degrees Fahrenheit for two days, had
eradicated Infection. DR.. Harris referred to his
own experience in the Quarantine Hospital, and
showed that the washerwomen avoided infection by
boiling the clothes before washing; when this was
not done every washerwoman caught the disease.
Heat applied to clothing and rooms had produced
the effects in scarlet fever and other diseases.
His observation had shown that nearly all fabrics
would bear higher degree of heat than was re-
quired for complete disinfecton. DR.. Arnold, of
Savannah remarked that after the yellow fever
appeared in that city no safe till the ap-
pearance of a strong black frost. Cold killed it.
DR.. Harris mentoneda where tons Of ice failed
to expel infection from a vessel Dr. Mather agreed
with DR.. Harris. Mr.. Dadd, of Newark, had
known a ship to be dsinfected of yellow fever by
steam when it was intended to kill rats The at
tempt to freeze the yellow foyer out of the frgae
Susquehanna cost $40, 900, and failed at that. Dr.
Bibbins, of New ork said that he had never known
a small pox epidemic in the city during dog days.
Heat killed it as ef1ectually cold did the yellow
fever
