Still Dissolying-Fitzpatrick Declines
"A Substitute Appointed.

1t was stated in the account of the Serc-
made to DOUGLAs and F%ITzPArRIcK on
Saturday night, that when the procession
arrived at the lodgings of the latter. they
found him III bed. and that instead Of arts
ing to acknowledge the compliment, he
merely sent word by some Northerner to
let them know that he was aware Of their
presence, and to intimate to them in the
politest manner possible with a sleepy man,
that he did not wish to be disturbed of
his rest by the noisy "mud-sills."
This want of appreciation of the Demo-
cratic enthusiasm is fully explained by
the announcement this morning, that Mr..
FIrzPATEICK has declined the nomination
for Vice President. and refuses to run on
the ticket with DoUdLAs. The reasons
for this course are not stated. Nor need
they be. Any one at all familiar with his
political position. especially with reference
to DorGLAs and the Popular Sovereignty
dogma, can readily see good reasons why
one with his record would shrink from
such an association He has done him
self infinitely more credit in the course he
has taken, than he would gain by a dozen
defeats at the polls as the colleague of
DOUGLAS.
II seems that the DOUGLAS Committee
what one is not stately has filed the va
cancv in the ticket with the name of HER
sCHELL V. JOHNSON. So HERsCHELL V.
JOHNSON, and not BENJAMIN FITzPATRICK.
is the DOUGLAS candidate for Vice Presi-
dent. Now, it would be 4 curious pastime
for one TO 90 around among the twelve
hundred stalwart men who vote the Demo-
cratic ticket in this city," and ask them.
"Who IS lIERsCHELL Y. JOHYsOY??" and
mark the To relieve our DOUG-
Las friends from the dilemma, VIC will vol
unteer for them an answer, which few of
their leaders in this section could now fur
nish.
HERscHELL Y. JOHNSON, then, is a citi-
zen of Georgia. The first record we have
of his existence is in the returns of the cleo
ton for Congressman in that State IN Is
43, when he was beaten $3.50 votes by A..
II. STEPHENS, the f~avorite of the Toledo
Douglasitcs for Vice President. The next
record we can find of him. is in 4 list of
the names of those who drew more mileage
than they were entitled to. in 1889,
from which it would seem that he was a
Senator from Georgia; but his name does
not occur in the regular list of Senators,
and he was probably appointed to fill ava
cancy. We next find him elected Govern
or of Georgia in 1858, by l39 majority,
although FRANK PIERCE had received Il
majority the year before of IS,0I5, over
Scott.
These are all the facts at present within
our knowledge. touching the illustrious
past of HERscmELL V. JOHNSON. They
win be sufficient, no doubt, to satisfy all
the Douglasites that he is lust the man
for the crisis, and that with the special
interposition of Divine Providence, which
Mr.. DOUGLAS now for the first time invok-
es, he will give abundant support and con-
ISOLATION to the head Of the ticket.-TOle-

"No pork, either"

Not a potato left"

The National Democratic party has re-
fused to bcstow either cold vituals or bread

have donated 4 knife and fork with which
he can 90 through the motions of running

for him in the Democratic house. but he is
content with the appearance of the thing.

A VETERAN FEMALE FENCE BUILDER
There is 4 woman in Williamson county,
Tenn, who is great in the fence business.
The Franklin CGenn.) Review says:
The census takers occasionally lind some
strange events and items. One of the De
putty Marshals for this county made ac-
qurinanee of a lady - years old, who built
800 yards of good rock fence within the
last year with her own hands, and what
is more, she gathered and carried in her
arm all the materials of which the fence
is built. This looks like a hard yarn, but
its truth is attested by numerous witnesses,
who saw the old lady at her work. and who
have seen it since completed. We doubt
If aparallel case will be found in any other
State or county of the Union.

VERY LIKE a HANGING.-Aftcr the
vote had been taken at Baltimore, to make
the nomination of Douglas unanimous, Da--
vid Tod of Ohio, who occupied the chair,
is reported to have declared the result in
the following language.
with heartfelt satisfaction, as presid-
ing officer of this Convention, l declare
Stephen A. Douglas, by unanimous vote,
the candidate of the Democratic party of
the Union, for President of these United
States, and may God, in his infinite mercy,
protect him and the Union he represents"
This sounds fearfully like the language
addressed to criminals at the close of a
sentence of death, and the circumstances
under which it was used undoubtedly sug-
gestcd the form of it-Detroi AdcertiSer.'

This monster steam ship arrived at New
York on Friday, after a passage Of eleven
days. She came up through the bay in
fine style, decked with flags from stem to
stern, and attended by a crowd of craft
of all sizes, causing the largest steamers to
appear like pilot boats in comparison with
her, The number of passengers was only
about forty.
The Cleveland Herald says of her
The iron steamship Great Eastern, now
commanded ty Captain John Vinehall, was
built at Millwall, on the banks of the river
Thames, England, from designs planned
by the late Mr.. Brunei. The work of con-
struetion was carriedouby Messrs. Tread
well, Of Gloucester, under the superintcn-
dcncc of Mr.. Scott Russell. She is the
largest vessel ahoat, her hull measuring
about seven hundred feet in length, sixty
feet in height, and making a burden of
tweuty-three thousand tons. Thirty thou
sand iron plates have been used in her oon-
struction, each plste weighing the third
part of a ton, and requiring one hundred
riyets to make it fast to its fellows.
She has ten steam boilers, which are
heated by one hundred furnaces. Theeyl-
Under of every engine in the Great Eas-
tern is six feet in diameter. Her sGcw
propeller is twenty-four feet in diamoter,
and the diameter of each of her paddle
wheels is fifty-six feet. The principalsuit
of saloons in the Great Eastern is four
hundred feet long, and a promenade round
her deck affords a walk more than three
quarters of an English mile in extern.
The latest survey Of the chip gives a
registered measHrmcnt of eighteen tlou-
sand nine hundred and fifteen tons.
This monster ship combines steam pow
er in both shapes-screw and paddle
with sailing power. 10 furnish the for
mer she carries eleven thousand tons of
coal, and when driven by the wind, With
all sail set. she will spread out six thou
sand five hundred yards of canvas.
The steamer is lighted with gas made
on board, and as she trayerses the Atlantic

head, signalling her course and approach
to her fellow travellers of whatever dimcn-
sions.
She has capacity to accommodate four
thousand passengers, eight hundred of them
being first class" and if employed as a
troop ship she could, in a case of grave
emergency; carry ten thousand soldiers.

est, and for purposes of future reference, a
condensed table Of the exact measurment.

The principal dimensions of the ship, her

Vino ARE THEY FOR?-The Democrats
of this State have an electoral ticket III the
field, unpledgcd, except to support "thc
nominee Of the Baltimore Convention"
The question now is, Who are they for?-
Which Baltimore nominee do they intend
to support? The Democratic State Commit
tee, We sec, is called to meet on the ID of
July; and as most of its members are Ad-
mlniStratiOn men, We suppose we shall
hear, very soon, of i~nterrogatives from
them to the candidates for electors, asking
them what they intend to do. The State
Committee, we take it, intend to support
Breckenridge and Lane; and such of the
candidates for electors as are for Douglas
and johnson will have to walk the plank.

against him. All the ID mocratic States
voted against him and his doctrine. The
Slave Code platform received the sanction
of Is States, in Committee, out of thirty
