The Mobile (Ala. Register paysit respects
to Charles Sumner, in the following elegant
language :-"Chares Sumner, the political III
cendiary and scholarly fanatic of Massachu-
sets, the smooth faced and smootl-tongued
hypocrte whose heart is a nest of vipers OF
deadiest hate, and from whose oily tongue
venom and treason roll in Ciceronian periods
and accents of university eloquence."

and influential democrats Of Kentucky have
"gone and done" likewise
Six of the nominees on the Douglas electoral
ticket in Tennessee have declined to act the
part assigned them. In Florida the Douglasite
ticket has entirely collapsed. The Squatterite
electoral ticket of Mississippi is "like mouth

Gov. Wise has written one more letter con-
tanning twenty-three lines instead of twenty
three hundred his usual stint. The letter
proves, like all his other letters, that whether
