Foreign News.

Ey Later news from Europe announce
that the Neapolitan army had captulated
to GAR1BALDI, and that the articles were
signed on board British steamer. The
conditions are that the army, $4,000
strong, should quit Palermo with all the
honors of war, and embark on board the
Neapoltan squadron, the evacuation to
commence in June. GARIBALDI is now
master of the Island. He had constitu-
ted ministry and appointed Governor
of Palermo. He has issued many de-
crees for theoretically carrying on the
war. He found nearly 100000 in the
Sicilian treasury. In Naples grand man.
festations for VICTOR EMMANUEL and
GARIBALD1 had taken place, and the town
of Avrigentl had risen. The demand Of
Naples to the other powers, for interven-
ton, had been refused.
In Great Britain the Ministry had CIV
en- notice of another loan OF half a mill
ion for the China war. The Reform Bill
is again under consideration. In the
House of Lords resolutions virtually en-
dorsing universal suffrage were ridiculed
and negatiyed without division. Lord
PALMERsToN stated that the Government
intended to furnish ships to survey the
Northern seas in connection with the tel
egraph project via Iceland and America.
The projectors will send the Arlic yacht
Fox to survey the land route. the govern
ment expedition, under Captain McCLrN-
Took, surveying the deep sea route.
1t is reported that France, on the COM
pletion Of the annexation Of Savoy, will
demand the recognition of that measure
by Europe. The government will short,
ly ask for another loan of 10000, 00C
francs.
In Russia the principle measures pro
posed for the emancipation Of the serfs
have been adopted by a majority Of the
deputies and mobiles, and a general en-
reimbursement will be realized next au
tumn. Russia will also shortly negotiate
loan of $8O,OOO,OOO. The cholera
was raging in Italy: The troubles in
China still continue. France and Eng
land still main tain the blockade Of the
Gulf Of Peiho.

lv Our neighbor takes to heart GU

~ Our neighbor takes to heart our
expression of belief that Democratic
editors would find it difficult to reach
heaven, and thinks that we intended it as
a personal allusion to himself We make
haste to disabuse our friends mind Of
such an idea We have always had great
hopes that Old Cloven Foot would miss
our friend, and we have now more con-
fdence than ever. We think il has been
a good deal more love for old associa-
tons. then an adherence to doctrine,
that has kept our neiyhbor in the ranks
Of the Democracy. and now that the par
ty has busted" we think that his ma
tural inclination to go right, will bring
him finally into better company. Be-
lievin., therefore, that he won't die a
Democratic editor, our friend will see
that we had not bis case specially in
mind.

Mad Dogs.

re- The Waverly Republican gives
the names of several persons in that vi
entity who have lost horses, cows, and
other stock by hydrophobia, caused by
the bites of rabid dogs. Friend SMEED
concludes that dogs are nuisances, and to
that we cry amen We tremble to think
what havoc would probably be made in
this community, should rabies attack any
of the army of CANNES which prowl
about our town. Night and day, at all
hours, and in every place in this vicini-
ty, may be seen ours of all kinds and
conditions, of every quality and degree,
running about with the most perfect free
dom, chasing cattle, annoying butchers,
barking, yelling, fighting. 1t is some
times said that the financial condition of
family may be correctly estimated by
the number of dogs it possesses-the
poorer it becomes the more dogs it is
apparently inclined to keep. If this is
true criterion, our community must be
exceedingly poverty stricken, for we new
er before saw SO many dogs in place
of the same size AS it is now nearing
the season when hydrophobia becomes
the most prevalent, would it not be well
for our citizens to look to this matter a
little, and take some precautions to less
en- the dangers from this terrible disease.
If two or three hundred-more or less
of the CANNES, were sent to the heaven
of dogs, there would doubtless be gen
eral rejoicing in the community; and we
suggest If it would not be a good plan
to raise fund to be disbursed in pre-
miums for dog-sealps. We certainly
think it would be just, proper and laud-
able to slay every dog whose owner re.
fuses. during warm weather, to keep him
up or muzzle him.

SON, of Maryland, on the part of his del

Mr.. GLASS, of Virginia, did not agree
with his colleagues in seeding, but de-
clined further action in the convention
Messrs. WALKER and JONES, Of Tennes
see, would not withdraw, but stand by
the nominee of the convention. Mr.
SMITH, of California, said the Democrat
ic party had been stabbed by an assassin
who now stood grinning on the floor. He
thought the theatre the proper place fol
holding the convention, and said thai
this comedy of errors might probably
end in tragedy Of blood. He then left
the convention. Mr.. STEPHENS, Of Or.
egon, announced the withdrawal of his
delegation. Massachusetts, withdrew fol
consultation. Delaware decided to re.
frain from voting for the present, but re-
served the right to do SO in the future.

that 10 delegates from that State would
withdraw. The convention then adjourn

growing out of the convention, and a
hostile encounter is talked of.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN LEATHER.

GREAI IMPROVEMENT In LEATHER.
The undersigned desires to call the attention
of Boot and Shoe makers, Harness makers, and
the citizens of Buchanan and adjoining Coun-
ties generally, to the Leather made at his Tan
merry. This leather is tanned by the patent pro-
cess of Mr.. /. L. FuRBusH, Independence, which
process has many advantages over any other
known. 1t is much cheaper than Bark at the
usual price; it is much more rapid, requiring
only from ten to thirty days for all kinds Of
Leather; it makes a softer, tougher, stronger,
and heavier leather--a leather which wears
well, turns water well, and never cracks. No
hot liquors. or anything that can inj ure the lea
thes, is used, the materials being mainly vege-

Democratic Nomin atiOns.

H In another part of to-day's paper,
we give full synopsis of the proceed
ings Of the Democratic National Conven.
ton. up to the adjournment on Friday
last. OF Saturdays proceedings we
have little report, other than the an
nouncement of the nominations. The
first ballot resulted. DOUGLAS 1921, GuTH-
RTE 8, BREcKINRIDGE s, SEYMOUR !, b.
COCK l, WISE l, DICKINSON /, blank
votes 81. Whole number OF votes 2125
The report states that every state was re-
presented, in whole or in part, except
South Carolina, Florida, Texas, Califor-
MIA, and Oregon. Georgia was repre-
scented in part. but refused to vote. On
the second ballot, DOUGLAS received
1919, the rest scattering. This was not
two thirds of the whole number of votes
Of the full convention, which required
2O3, but no other ballot is mentioned.
However. Mr.. DOUGLAS arrived at a
unanimous nomination. BENJAMIN FITz-
PATRICK, of Alabama, was nominated for
Vice President.
At noon, on Saturday, the seceders
met and organized permanently by call
ing CALEB CUSHING, of Massachusetts,
the President of the regular convention.
TO the Chair. The hall was densely
crowded, and the greatest enthusiasm
prevailed. Mr.. CUsHING's appearance
was greeted with immense cheering, the
whole audience rising 10 their feet and
giving cheer after cheer. twenty-five
states were represented, as follows: YER
mont. | delegate; Massachusetts,, l6 ;
New York, 2; Pennsylvania, Delaware,
and Maryland responded Virginia, "a
delegates North Carolina, l9t Geor-
gia, % all the delegates from Florida,
Texas. and Louisiana Alabama, 60 /;
Mississippi, 10; kentucky. 10; Iowa
was responded to by Mr.. Heath, of Du-
buque Minnesota, 2; California and
Oregon, all the delegates. A committee
of five was appointed, with CALEB CUsH-
ISa as Chairman, to prepare an address
to the Democracy of the Union. The
platform of the seceders at Charleston
was then adopted, and resolution car
ried that the next convention be held in
Philadelphia. A ballot for President was
then taken, resulting as follows JOHN
G. BREcKIHRIDGE. of Kentucky, 8l i;
DANIEL S. DICKINSON, Of New York,
"a. The states votin. for DICKINSON
changed to BaEcKISIRDcE, and the latter
was declared unanimously nominated.
General JOSEPH LANE, Of Oregon, was
then unanimously nominated for Vice
President.
Thus we have the contest fully OPEN
with Gye candidates in the field. The
Democratic party ia hopelessly disorgan
lied and divided. Another " Soft" and
Hard'' contest must result, and all that
tho Republicans will have to do will be
to stand by and witness the Kilkenny
fight, and after they have swallowed each
other, quietly take possession Of the gov
ernm,nt. We are but seldom sanguine
IN political matters. but from the day Of
The Chicago nominations we have never
for moment doubted that the control OF
public affairs. NEXT March, would pass
into the hands of ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Ii

E1s- JOHN MITCHELL has taken to wri-
ting letters again, and comes out on a
new tack. JOHN is down on the Demo
cratic party-that used to be, for he can't
find any Democratic party now. He has
done his best, he says, to break down
that party, and thinks not without effect.
1t would have been gone long ago, if it
had not been for the generous zeal OF
Irishmen in the North, but now he hopes
that his countrymen will merge into the
several organizations of their fellow cili-
zens, and be guided politically by
the interest Of their localities. He
would therefore have Northern Irishmen
go in for a protective tariff, and the
spread Of free labor. OF course he thinks
Southern Irishmen ought to do quite the
contrary. He don't recognize any prin-
ciple in the premises, but believes it to
be all matter of expediency, as does
our Douglas Democrats. And yet JOHN
has prated of liberty for many years, and
was once fondly regarded as martyr to
its cause How has the mighty fallen

ET- Both wings of the Democratic
party are jubilant over the action Of their
respective conventions. BREcKINRrDGE
and LANE accept, deeming it their duty
to do SO for the good of the country and
of the party. Their partizans in Alba
ny fired los guns on receipt of the
news of their nomination. In ST. Louis
great demonstration was made in their
behalf DOUGLAS was serenad ed on Sat
urday night, at Washington. and replied
in a speech of some length. Guns were
fred in his honor at Piltsburg and Oswe-

part of Republicans, of having the people thor
oughly informed as to the issues involved and
believing that in no other way can this better
DC done than by the circulation of Newspapers,
