amnesty from the South. The candidate
presented at Charleston must be one who will
command the united support Of the South aud
the reserved vote of New York Pennsylvania
ana New Jersey. just now Mr. Douglas; is not
that man, and when his friends say they will
oolt II he is not nominated they show me-
lantholy lack Of brains. They demonstrate,
further, that they do not understand the views
of their own leader. Mr.. Douglas is pledged
to support the candidate of the Charleston
Convention, whoever he may be- and that
pledge carries with it the suffrages Of his
friends, if they are such in reality.
The democratic party is singularly fortu-
nate in the ability of its public men, and
among those mentioned for the first office in
the nation Mr. Douglas holds a commanding
place. From variety of circumstances he is
the only candidate, with the single exception
of Mr.. Buchanan, who, although he has peril.
naciously refused to be considered as in the
field for the succession, may yet be compelled
to serve second term, like Jefferson, Madison
and Jackson. Mr.. Buchanan is the only
man in the party who can command
the reserved vote of the Central States,
as well as bis full party strength in the West
and South. The only enemies he has are the
disappointed Office seekers-the same order of
opposition which jackson and Jefferson had to
encounter and to overcome, and which every
President who has any pluck or will Of his
own must meet and put down. Partisan sup
port is we'll enough in its way; but when the
country is in an important crisis there are GER
tain Influences which the mere politician can
not control The conservative, safe men of the
North will have the next Presidential election
in their hands. Mr.. Buchanan will have
their support and the very best thing that Mr..
Douglas and his friends can do is to support
the able statesman who now sits in the execu-
tive chair, with the understanding that Mr.
Douglas stands the most prominent man for

THE CONTEST FOR THE SPEAKERsHIP-VIRTUAL
TRIUMPH OF THE CONSERVATIVE ELEMENT OF THE
CouNTRY.-The ballot for Speaker in the House
yesterday may be considered as virtual vic
tory of the conservative element of the coun-
try over the revolutionary action of the repub-
lican party in Congress. After eight weeks of
desperate and obstinate efforts to force upon
the majority of the House man whose posi-
tion in the present exciting agitation, is of the
were compelled to withdraw the endorser of
Helpers infamous book, John Sherman.
This fact is in itselfa triumph for the friends
of Southern rights and institutions, and the
friends of union and harmony in every section
Of the country. The contest now seems to be
between Mr. Smith of North Carolina, South
ern oppositionist, and Mr.. Pennington of New
Jersey, republican, pure and simple, but a
man unstained with the infamy Of approving
and endorsing the abominable doctrines of the
Helper book. Three ballots for Speaker were
taken yesterday, and with similar results in
each case-Pennington receiving lis votes and
Smith 1l3-the number necessary for choice
being III. After the third ballot the House
adjourned, to commence its labors again to-day,
when we hope to see this protracted contest
brought to an end. With the present political
complexion of the House it was to be expected
that either a republican or Southern opposi-
ZIONIST should fill the Speakers chair; but the
attempt to force such man as Sherman upon
the majority Of the House, in the midst of such
an alarming crisis as the country is now pass
ing through, was an evidence of reckless indif-
ference to the interests Of the Union, and of a
mad adherence to factious policy, which de-
served to receive, as it now has done, severe
rebuke from the national conservative senti-
ment of the nation.

The LEGATION FROM PARAGUAY-SETTLEMENT
OF AMERICAN CLANs.-President Lopez, of
Paraguay, has gained a march on our govern
ment, and shown his readiness to comply with
all the stipulations Of the recent treaty and
convention for the settlement of American
claims, before we are ready on our side.
The Bowlin treaty and convention are still
waiting the ratification of the Senate, and Senior
Berges, the Paraguyan Minister, has arrived here
with the documents all in order, on the part of
his government, ready to exchange the ratifca-
tons and to enter upon the discharge Of his
duties as Minister and Commissioner. As the
Senate has not yet acted on the treaty, we I'M
derstand that Senior Berges will delay his de-
parture for Washington until the middle of the
coming month, when our government will pro-
badly be ready to receive him. As soon as the
President shall have named the American Com
missioner the Commission will at once enter
upon the examination of the American claims.
Senior Berges, although comparatively
young man, is not young diplomatist After
occupying the position of Minister of War and
Marine in Paraguay, he was sent as Charge to
Montevideo in 1872, at the time when the
preparations for overthrowing the tyranny of
Rosas in Buenos Ayres was putting in peril all
the riverine States Of the Plata. In 1856 the
questions of boundary and fluvial navigation
that had grown up between Paraguay and Bra
zil threatened rupture of relations between
those countries, and he was sent as Minister to
Rio Janeiro, where he succeeded in settling the
fiuvial question, and making temporary ar
rangement for six years on the boundary dis
pute. He is the first Minister that Paraguay has
ever sent to this country, and in view of the
important commerce which the opening of the
South American rivers is likely to create for
the world, his labors here will no doubt result
benefcially to our industrial and mercantile,
as well as our political interests.

The Question at Cha rleston-Mr. Dousla
and His Friends.

The Question at Charleston-Mr. Douglas
and His Friends.
Our special correspondent at Chicago writes
to us to this effect
l. That the friends of Mr.. Douglas in his own
State are in high glee over his recent speech in
the Senate. and believe that it makes his title
to the nomination at Charleston perfectly clear
and warranted.
2 That they positively declare that if he is
not nominated at Charleston they will bolt the
ticket.
1t strikes us that If that position has been as
sumed by any considerable number of the
friends of Mr.. Douglas they have made very
great error. Mr.. Douglas has given in his own
course the very best rebuke that could be ad-
ministered to his over Jealous adherents. When
the present administration came into power
Mr.. Douglas stood well with the South and
the West, where he was popular idol. and
had likewise q certain degree of strength in
the great Central States. He made very
great error in boiling from the admins
tration. and engaging as the leader of a
faction Of Northern democrats, who be-
lieved that it would be a fine thing to
flibuster against certain political abstrac-
tons Mr.. Douglas speedily became involved
in mass of generalities and contradictions
He gained no strength for himself anywhere.
In fact, he became unpopular at the South,
and succeeded to certain degree in democrat
King and disorganizing the democratic party
in the North. Meanwhile the administration
got along very comfortably by itself The
PRESIDENT has confined himself strictly to the
discharge of his constitutional duties and al
lowed the various cliques OF the party to fight
out their difficulties among themselves. Very
recently Mr.. Douglas, seeing the mischief that
had been worked by the divisions in the party,
came out upon the broad, statesmanlike Mat
form Of the administration platform of acts.
not words-and assumed the attitude which he
should have held long before.
Such is the present position of Mr.. Douglas.
He has simply put himself right upon the re-
cord Of Congress, and has made an appeal to
the country to be allowed to take his stand as
a sound conservative statesman. But, as we
have already demonstrated, Mr.. Douglas re-
pentance is as yet too new to have the desired
effect upon the conservative vote of the Gen.
TIA. states. " 70 SECURE f2I aal Zee
