CORRECTING ITS OWN LIES.-The C0nStuu-
tion of the 18th says
1--WE can honestly say that we arc glad the
friends Of Mr.. Lincoln have taken the pains
to cause that gcutleman'S stationery account,
as member OF Congress, to be examined, with
a view to ascertain whether the scandal con-
cerning his having had several pairs o. boots
charged that account, and Of course paid for
out of the public funds, was or was not well
founded We published the allegation to that
effect from the Louisville Courjer, with stimuli
taneous expression of hope that some one
would investigate it since, trilng as the cir,
cumstance might seem to many, we thought
that if true, it indicated such diSgraccfuIIv
low estimate on the part of E!r. Lincoln Of the
duties and responsibilities Of representative,
and Of the principles Of honor and honesty,
that it ought to be known to the people who
arc now asked TO elevate him to the highest
Office in the nation and if untrue, we, know
Jig that such weapons damage their authors
more than against whom they are aimed desir-
ed to see the charge fall into diSusc We frank
Iy sag that the officer Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives having in charge the stationary ac-
counts has certified through the newspapers
that the records Of his Office furnish no evidence
of any transaction like that laid to Mr. Lin
coins charge"

Ssay~ Hon. Z. p. BLAIR, of Missouri, who
has just unseatcd Mr.. BARRETT, publishes
long address to his constituents in the Missouri
Democrat of the 18th. lie states that he IN.
dertOok the contest which has Just terminated
III his favor not TO eXpel Mr. BARRETT from
the House, but to refer the question Of right
again to to these Immediately interested, that
is. to his constituents The attitude which he
submitted to take has been one Of humiliation,
of anxiety, Of expense and of labor He would
not have assumed it merely to change places
with his opponent 1t was his conviction
" that the Executive power installed at Wash.
ngtou by fraud and corruption had resolved
to perpetuate itself by the systematic applica
ton Of such means which induced him to resist
them overwhelming as they were in his own case.
Mr.. BBALG then cites some Of the revelations
of the CovOde Committee. These frauds he
was convinced were attempted to be perpetu-
ated in his case He considered Mr. BARRgTT
merely az the instrument in The hands Of The
antagonists of free principles and the parity of
elections in the st. Louis District" His con-
stilucnta, he says, owe the restoration of their
rights to few Northern Democratic Repre-
scntatiyeS aud few members Of the American
Party in tie House from the South, who have
boldly encountered prcjndiccs in unity with tbe
Republican Representatives to yindcate tie
right of suffrage against the attempts Of Xix.

FRIGHrruL SUIcIDE.-A most shocking case
of suicide occurred few days since in Fergu
son township, ClcarfeId county, Pa. A mas
named Samuel Stroup, first took an axe and
nearly severed his hand from his arm, Fear
ing that the wound might not result in death,
the misguided man swallowed a large dose Of
corrosive sublimate, which soon terminated bis
life Shortly before his death he was dScoV'
cred by some of his neighbors, who not know
ing that he had taken poison, endeavored 10
save him by binding up the wound on bis
wrist. He told them, however, that it was
no use, and in q few minutes expired.

BaF~ The President on Saturday sent a
Message to the Senate, vetoing the Home
stead bill. He says, after reviewing the gen.
eral provisions of this bill, that the clause of
the Constitution giving power to Congress to
dispose Of the public lands, cannot be intend
ed to convey the power to give them away !;
and he considers the small sum asked for the
land under the bill-twenty-fi cents per acre,
with credit for five years-woud be equival
ent to donating them. He contends, as a gen.
eral principle, that Congress does not possess
the power to donate money to States or indi-
viduals, and that this would be the case in so
disposing OF the means of public revenue
The bill was also unjust to the holders of mill
tary bounty lands, as it reduced their value,
and made an unjust discrimination between
Americans and foreigners by prohibiting the
former, if single, from availing of its benefits,
where the latter, though not the head of a
family, is given the privilege After consider
able debate on the Presidents objections, q
vote was taken on the question of the passage
of the bill Notwithstanding the veto, and it
failed for want of two-thirds vote.

A CATTLE EMBARGo-The Cattle CommisS
ioncrS Of Connecticut have caused notices to
be posted in every Connecticut town on the
Massachusetts, line east of the Connecticut river
forbidding the driving OF bringing into the
State. from Massachusetts,, any cattle, sick or
well, on penalty of $500 fine and six months
imprisonment. Petitions are in circulation in
Colcbrook, Norfolk, and other towns on the
line, west of the river, for a similar prohbi-
tion. Indeed there is more excitement there
than in the eastern part of the State, as Ltch-
field county is exclusively a grazing and stock
raising county. TO show the feeling there, a
single fact will suffice Mr.. Abial Pease, of
Warehouse Point drove a pair of cattle
(healthy, but one of the animals having a
cough) over the river to find pasturage and
before suitng his wishes he kept on west till
he reached Colebrook there the people seized
the cattle and compelled their immediate re-
turn to East Windsor.

Battle of the Factions.

The political dongs of the Democratic
statesmen" assembled in Convention at Bal
timore OF course receive due attention from the
public but we think their martial exploits, also
should not be lost sight Of We therefore beg
to present a short summary of the encounters
of the past week in chronological order. The
Convention met on Monday, and on Tuesday,
before the Committee on Credentials, Mr.
HOOPER called Mr. HINDMAN that man." and
designated his statements as unqualifedly
false" HINDMAN thereupon got home heavily
on HooPERs knowledge box, and drew pistol,
Hool Err, having no pistol withdrew from the
ring. On Wednesday, Mr.. WHITLEY, Of
Delaware, waited upon Mr.. TOWNSEND, of the
same State, at his hotel, and delivered him a
vigorous Highlander on the frontispiece, which
led to Mr.. TowNsEND's seizing him by the
shrt-front and cravat, and shaking him. After
bold rally both men went to grass, WHITLEY
underneath searching for his pistol. The police
interfered before the commencement of the
second round.
On the same day Mr. FISHER of Virginia,
had mill with the police at the door, and
had the claret drawn freely from his probosos
and was otherwise severely punished. He
threatened that Virginia would Secede.
On Thursday, Mr.. MONTGOMERY, of Pennsyl
vania, was informed by Mr. RANDALL, the same
State, that what be said was "false-a base
falSehOod" " MONTGOMERY retorted by calling
RANDALL that old man, and 90 lying scoun-
drel." Mr. RANDALL, Junior, thereupon sent
a friend to inquire if that cpthet was applied
to his father, to which Mr.. MONTGOMERY res
poHded, with military brevity, that Mr.. Ran
DALI, Junior, might go to "an unpleasant
place. Mr.. RASDALL's friend then informed
Mr.. MoNTG )HERY that he Mr.. MONTGOMERY }
was " a low, vulgar fellow, and blackguard'
"A proposition which that gentleman did uot
attempt to dispute.
After the adjournment Mr. RANDALL, Jr.,
meeting Mr.. MONTGOMERY in the street. hit
him cIcverly between the eyes, drawing claret
copiously. Mr. MONTGOMERY, in reply, got
home heavily on Mr.. RANDAM's listener, send
ing him to grass, and was about to kick him
while down, but the bystanders cried foul u
and took him off. An offer of pistol by the
obiging Mr.. BRYAN, of Texas, was declined
by Mr.. RANDALL, and both parties then left
the ground. On the same day the platform
occupied by the Convention broke down, send
ing all the delegates to grass.

Bag~ The Baltimore Convention having on
Friday adopted the majority report of the
committee on credentials, by which the Douglas
delegates were admitted in place of the seced-
ers from the Southern States, withdrawal of
portion of the Southern delegates followed.
On Saturday, the regular Conventional
at least what wGS left Of it-met, and after
good deal of spcechifying, finally nominated
STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS for President by vote
of l73 out of l89 IL. BENJAMIN FITzPATRICK,
of Alabama, was subsequently nominated for
Vice President. The nominations are not re-
ceived with much enthusiasm, from the crcnm-
stances under which they were made-the Con
vention which made them being less than two,
thirds of the original Convention.
The Seceders also organized and nominated
JOHN c. BREcEENRIDGE for President. and
Gen. JOSEPH LANE. Of Oregon, for Vice Presi-
dent. The ticket is strong one, and will be
considerably in the road Of the Douglas ticket.
Whether the itlchmond Convention will now
be held, We 20 not know.
There are now four tickets in The field foy

can, the Union and Constitution, the regular

D@ An Albany early On the morning OF the
20th the police discovered woman named Brid-
get Carey, wandering around the streets per-
fectly naked, and her derson streaming with
blood. After desperate struggle they cap
tured her and took her TO the Station-house,
when they learned that she had been insane
for some time, and that in one of her parox-
ysms she had jumped through the closed win
dow Of the room where she was confined, car,
rying the sash with her On examination they
found that her mouth was filled with broken
glass, which she was chewing with evident re-
lish. 1t was only after severe struggle that
they succeeded in clothing her properly in order
to carry her to the Asylum.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE! !

We should think that every respectable and
selfrespectng democrat would be driven from
his party by the following short, plain, truth
full chain of facts:
A convention of OppoSitionists lately met
in Baltimore, and another assembled in Chicago.
The former was far less thronged and enthu-
siastic than the latter, although it had, through
causes generated by democratic violence and
outrage, somewhat more of a national repre-
sentation. But we are prepared at all times
to show, by evidence drawn from the leading
conservative journals and statesmen Of the
south and north, that the views held and the
candidates adopted at those two conventions,
were very nearly Identical.
Yet, whether our opinion on this point be
right or wrong, these two conventions, embrac
ing all the Opposition, and, in both cases com
posed of conflicting branches Of the Opposition
met, organized, consulted, debated, resolved,
nominated and parted in peace and order. In
neither was there single instance Of threat,
insult or defiance Much less was there a case
of violence by blows or of the drawing Knives
and pistols. They met, talked, acted and sep
arated like gentlemen, as well as freemen.
In contrast with all this we will not detail
the general quarreling, confusion and rowdyisn
which strongly marked the democratic conveu-
ton held in Charleston, and which brand that
since lighting in Baltimore with a burning
stigma. This natiCns' disgrace will be heard
of soon enough over the whole civilized world,
without our aiding to proclaimit. Our readers
too, have doubtless seen the whole Of it. All
VIC ask of them is to mark The difference and
judge for themselves what party is decent, con
servative, reliable.

JoHN ScHwARrz.-We regret TO learn that
the Hon. John Schwartz, member of Congress
from Berks county, died in Washington, on
Wednesday evening 29th inst Mr.. Schwaltz tz
had been i'll with jaundcc for some time past,
yet such was his devotion to the public busi-
mes, that he had only absented himself from
the House within the few days preceding his
death. 1t was only when the grasp Of death
was upon him chat he gave up and took to his
bed. We could not possibly have strong
proof of the sterling worth of the man than this
single fact affords us He has been in his seat
with regularity tlut Ira, been cIcrito a euhipct
of remark, and upon every test question he was
sure TO be found all right with the main body
Of the Opposition, SO that although a new
member, he came to be regarded with great
respect.
Mr.. Schwartz was born in the county which
he SO faithfully represented, and has resided
there all bis life. At his demise his age was
about siXty-fvc. He is popularity supposed,
outside Of BerkS, TO have been at anti Lcc0mp
ton democrat, and to have owed his election
TO that but such was not the fact He was
an ardent friend of Harrison aud Clay, and
thoroughgong prCtcctioniSt. In truth he
was au old fashioned Clay Whig. In the War
of 1912 he was appointed by Governor Sayder,
and served as a major in the Pennsylvania
volunteers called ont at the time the British
army invaded Maryland Subsequently he
