POLITICS in New york.

SYRACUSE, August l6, 1S60.-The Douglas com
mittee on an electoral ticket are still at lock with
the Bell committee.
The latter now demand greater representation
on the ticket than the former seem inclinedto con-
cede.
At present Chancellor WaIworth and Mr.. Red
field are on the ticket electors at large but the
Bell committee desire to put Washington Hunts
name on in place of Mr.. Redfeld, and also demand
fourteen or fifteen of the State electors.
SYRACUSE, Aug 16, 8 P. M.-The Convention of
the Douglas Democracy has closed its session, and
the character of the men supposed to have con-
trolling power over its action.
The proceedings can be summed up in a few
words. They have nominated ticket of fair aver
age character, headed by ex-senator William kel-
ly, who is quiet respectable old gentleman, who
stands well in the community as gentleman OF
station and honor, and is unusually popular with
the agrculturalists of the State. He is well known
as an enterprising farmer on princely scale.
They have formed an electoral ticket entirely
acceptable to Bell-Everett Union men of the State,
and which will combine in solid mass much Of the
conservative opposition of the State against the
sectional candidate of the Republicans. Ten men
of standing amongst Old Line Wings find places
on the ticket. They have also in their resolutions
plainly and frankly invited union with the re-
naming portion of the opposition who at present
pretend to cling to the fortunes of Breeknridge,
and to that end have given their Committee full
power to fill vacancies on their tickets, and to
make all arrangements for such union in this
State as can alone insure the defeat Of Lincoln !;
and, finally, they have hurled down the last pre-
tence by which the rotten carcass of Tammany has
been able to impose upon credulous public with
the impudent humbug of regularity. If thorough
effective union does not now take place, it will be
owing to the faotious, disorganizing conduct on
the part of the Green Schell faction.

The Tsensains of American and British
Soldiers.

The telegraph informs Us Of the discovery of the
remains of AEericaa and British soltiiers, near the
Old Fort, at Toronto ThDaily Globe of that city.
of the 18th, has the following:
On the afternoon Of Friday, while the workmen
employed at tie excayatiotfor the bridge at the
Dllon's Tavern they brought to light the remains
Of several huInal, beings. 1t was at once sus-
pected that the bodies were those OF the British
and Americans who fell in t,.sscdnfict which took
place in front of the fort in the year 1873 con-
siderable crowd soon collected, and Sergeant Ma
jor Barlow, Of the One Hundredth, Mr.. Dillon, and
others, went to werk along with the laberers and
humfng fifteen bodies. From the position in
which they were found, it appeared evident that
they had been buried in treEsh near the place
where they fell. Several buttons. bayonet.
pieces of officers erenietts and portions of cloth
ing were found in the trench. One of the buttons
appears to have belonged to one eathe men of the
% gallant Eighth British Grenadiers.a Another has
the letters g P. RI engraved upon ii, and shows
that it at time attached to tie coat of one
of the Pennsylvania Rangers. A third had simply
the letters g U. So engraved on it. A couple Of
copper cents and Mexican coin were found near
the bodies.
The discovery of these remains will Bring to the
remembrance Of those who fought and bfed in the
war of 1872, 1918 and ls14 the struggle which took
place in front of the Old Fort in the summer of
1873 and which was brought to a speedy termina-
ton by the explosion of the magazine. At the
time referred to General Shraffe was in command
Of the Tort MS FORCES only amounting 10 about seven
hundred British soldiers and Canadian militia, with
one hundred Indians. Early one morning the
Americans succeeded, after sharp conflict, in
landing force of seventeen hundred men, from
fourteen armed ships, in the woods, near where
the garrison now stands. A detachment of
the Eighth Regiment were sent out to prevent the
landing, if possible and in the aerce struggle which
ensued in the woods and thiekets, they lost more
than half their number of men, One account states
that when they left the fort they were hundred
| and twenty strong, but on the following morning
| only twenty-five answered to their names. General
Shrae, at the head of his small foree madea stout
resistance, but, finding the enemy were two to
| one, he was at length, after q gallant struggle,
compelled to retreat. The assailants advanced
| upon them, but when opposite the fort the powder
| magazine exploded, and two hundred Americans,
with their commander, General Pike. were killed
on the spot, and also number of English soldiers.
1t is stated that large numbers of the slain were
buried near the spot where the bodies were found
on Friday. The remains were carefully collected,
placed in box, and buried by fatigue party
belonging to the Royal Canadian Rifles.

The Election for the Presidency.
The Washington correspondent Of the Balsimo

The Washington correspondent Of the Baltimore

The great question of the day is whether Lincoln
shall, though in a minority, be elected President.
If elected at all, it must be by majority m tbs

ne would have no chance. tt has been supposed
that considering the vast extent and the various
interests Of this country, no one would ever again
become President by the popular vote and that
Congress must in fact, under the Constitution,
make hereafter our Presidents. But the Republf-
can, sectional, antislsvery candidate, is il seems,
to be an exception. The anttslavery spirit apart

real significance Of Linco{n's election.

A Prison shower Bath Punishment.

A Philadelphia reporter, having thoroughly
oyerhauled the Moyamensing Prison, gives the fol
lowing account of the shower bath mode OF pun
shing criminals:
In cell at the eastern end of the corridor ap-
propriated for females, stood something like a
wooden chimney, vertically against the wall.
Closer inspection revealed door in its front, with
staple and paddock. This being thrown Open an
apartment just large enough to contain a human
body was revealed with one Of the round perfo-
rated bath cisterns in tfe top. The door and sides
are hollow and stuffed with Wooien, to prevent
screams from being heard.
When any prisoner becomes ungovernable, he is
escorted to this CELL The physician, the narse,
and the superintendent stand by. The malefactor
is forced into the apartment, the door closed upon
him. and the staple secured with heavy paddock.
Then, in the darkness and sitting air, the unhappy
criminal feels the rush of the descending water.
1t comes in q torrent upon his uncovered head, and
seems to be beating upon his brain. In vain does
he seek to avoid the draught. He cannot bend in
the narrow aperture He cannot turn. His breath
grows short. Every nnrve is unstrung. His heart
beats agonizingly. He screams, but the walls are
deaf and there is no reply. He is sutocating-
ing. And when sense is swimming and life flicker
ing, the door is opened, the unhappy man re-
moved, and the dying pulses taught to beat again.
Sometimes the criminals, when removed, are
black in the face, the blood flooding the head. A
man in Sng-sing prison lately expired under TINS
punishment. The shower bath at Moyamenslng
\ has been used three times in seven years. Its
effects are to shock the nervous systemand weaken
the entire body. One woman was lately put to
the bath test. She is known as Jenny Lind and is
designated by one of tie Wardens as the most
abandoned women in the world. She has been in
prison more than one hundred tinese chiefly for
vagranay, and is beyond all reformation. She
seems at times to be possessed with demon. On
Wednesday she leaped upon Nh. Sargent, the
Warden Of the Female Department, and tore his
mouth in a most savage manner. Tne assault was
entirely unprovoked. She was placed in the
| shower bath as an exhibition of henous wicked
ness. and at the end of ten inmates punishment
asked if she would behave. She said with an cath
slls would not, and demanded to be punished
again.
The bath was again applied but she was still in
corrigible. When brought forth again she wa
almost lifeless, and but fo9 the application Q
prompt restoratiyes, would have been no longer
! trouble to the authorities.
