THE END OF THE SENATORIAL CoNsPIRAT0Rs.
MIssouR1.-As far as heard from, the par
ties will be represented in the next Leglsla-
ture as follows.

The above we take from the St. Louis
Herald. 1t indicates to a certainty that
James S. Green, one of that junta of United
States Senators who have been connected
with the Administration in their warfare
upon Judge Douglas, will not be returned
to the Senate. He will be left at home
along with Bigler, Of Pennsylvania Lane
and Swith of Oregon; Gwip, of California;
Fitch, of Indiana; Iverson, of Georgia /;
Rice, of Minnesota, and others who will
receive their cards of dismissal. As soon IS
the time runs round, Hunter and Mason of
Virginia Polk, of Missouri; Powell and
Breckenridge. of Kentucky; johnson and
Nicholson, of Tennessee; Bright, of Indi.
ana Latham, of California, will follow suit.
The people have marked every one of the
Senatorial conspirators against popular
rights for condemnation.
CALIFORNIA POLITICS.
By the pony express, we have San Fran
cisco dates to the 18th of August. The
GLOWING is an extract from the despatch :
The various Democratic county committees
throughout the State have been holding meet.
ings, and have divided into Douglas and Breck
inridge wings, each division calling separate
county conventions to elect delegates to the
Democratic State electoral conventions. All
these county committees were composed last
year of Administration Democrats. They now
average about an equal number of Douglas and
Breckenridge men. This is favorable indica-
tiOn of the Douglas strength in the State, as
the anti-LecomptOn wing of the party, COM
posed last year almost entirely of Douglas
men, was not represented in any OF the county
committees. 1t is now understood that the
sixteen State Senators who hold over and will
about equally divided. The Ell Dorado county
Democratic committee have held two meetings,
and stood five for Breckenridge, four for Doug
las, and three on the fence. The Breckenridge
portion have called a meeting for the Sd of
September, and the balance of the committee
adjourned without taking any action.
Thirty-seven Democrats at Nevada county.
who supported the administration candidates
last year, have published long address to the
Democrats of that county, urging them to sup.
port Douglas and Johnson. The list is headed
by Jno. R. Mcconnell. The Toulonmone
county Democratic central committee met at
Sonora on the 9th inst. Eight members were
present and one proxy. They stood five tor
Breckenridge. and four for Douglas, and being
unable to agree they separated. The Breckin
ridge wing called convention at Sonora for
September lst, and the Douglas branch on the
Both inst.
The San Jose Reporter after putting up
the Breckenridge and Lane flag has pulled it
down.
We have no doubt but that Douglas will
carry California and Oregon by large ma
jorities.
HUMoRs OF THE CANVASS.
The Cleveland Plaindealer, under the head
of "a New School for Boilers, just opened
at the White House, Washington, D. c.,
by James Buchanan, Bachelor of Arts"
gives the following humorous history of the
venerable principal:
The principal of this institution is we'll known

JEFF. Davis, Barnwell Rhett and other Southern
fire eaters, and undertook to take the Demo.

opened school to teach the theory of profess

DOUGLAS MOVEMENTS.
Judge Douglas addressed thousands of
people at Newark, N. j., on the 22d. He
arrived at Baltimore on Friday last, en-
route for Norfolk. In Maine, Judge D.
delivered as many as nine speeches in one
day, and it was an ordinary circumstance
for him to address daily, for several days in
succession, five or six meetings, ranging in
attendance from three to ten thousand per-
sons. We quote the following from the
conclusion of bis Newark speech:
Fellow citizens, you have now . very brief
