KINGSTON, September 5.-The Orangemen
persist in parading the streets. They were
drawn up on the wharf as if TO receive the
Prince, one of their officers riding up and
down with drawn sword, showing no

The Prince refused to land and left at 8

has been erected between the wharf and

probably charter steamer and follow the
Prince.
The Magistrates of the counties Of From

The second District

Alexander Long is the candidate of the
Democracy for Congress in the Second Dis
trict of Hamilton County. Mr.. Long is, or
was, the business partner in the legal pro-
fession of Alexander Ferguson, Esq, who
was candidate for nomination in the First
District-the copartnership, as it has been
currently reported, contemplating originally
distribution of the proceeds of the political
as well as the professional enterprise.
Mr.. Long was nominated with much una
nimity-the effect perhaps, of feeling on
the part of these who would otherwise have
been bis competitors, that the chances of
election as against Mr.. Gurley were not
characterized by an extraordinary degree Of
brilliancy. Mr.. Gurley has, in fact, contrived
and with considerable appearance of justice,
to impress the people of his district with the
belief that he has been a faithful and in
dustrious representative of their interests
q and their will; and it will require pretty
good man. as matters are now situated, to
prevent him from being again elected.
Mr.. Long possesses no extraordinary quail
ihcations, either as candidate or as pub
lie servant. He has elements of personal
popularity to cary him beyond the circle of
the faction TO which he belongs; and as a
Representative in the State Legislature, he
sl was chiefly distinguished by his arrogance
to his colleagues, his fondness for listening
to his own oratOry, and his propensity for
party legislation.
Mr. Longs rivals in the Second District
probably hope and expect that he will finish
himself off this time, and be out of the way
for the next. Not 50 looks upon it Mr.. Long.
Beaten, he will be an excellent subject for
Executive clemency; or in case the Democ-
racy should fail in the Presidential election
if it is possible to contemplate such a ca
tastrephe-wil have his spavins and wind
gals to show to his party as n title to be
entered for the race AZ the next trial

The disturbances in the Democratic party
Of Hamilton County center upon the ques-
tion of the candidate for the Sherinaley'
Mr. KIyers-better known under the soutrs-
0uet of "Little Red" appears to have have
initiated the policy of the "Little Giant"
and 6xed his party at dead-loek-pisclng
before IL The alternative; Little Red or no.
body. Whether the adjournment from the
Charleston of the Queen City to the Balt-
more of Mount Pleasant will prove as pro-
pftious to Myers as the model Democratic
begira did TO Douglas-giying bim the nom
ination Of the exrnssnnsse Of divided party, a
rival candidate, and prospects 5f election the
reverse Of brilliant remains to be seen.
We get, in the national and local condition
OF the Democratic party, coed exempli6-
cation of the manner in which the conven-
ton system, devised 10 make parties per-
petual, irrespective of principles eventually
loads them until they break down. The
doings of such caucuses as we have had this
season will have little effect upon the peo-
pie to influence their suffrages. A nomina-
tion will fail to be an indication of the
strength of the candidate; and while the
party institution remains, the party dsci-
plire will cease to have any power to terrify
or to persuade
We know now that the ritual which cam
didates before Democratic Conventions are
required to say over-"I am Democrat; /
sucked Democracy with my mothers milk;
l never bolted the Democratic ticket, and
promise TO support the ticket nominated to-
day whether I am on it or not"-menns
nothing, and that nobody considers himself
bound by it particle farther than is con-
venient. 1t would be better if there were no
promise, but the promise being made, it is
well that it is not holden greatly obligatory.
The rubric has remained after the spirit has
passed away; it is the way Of rubrics all
over the world.
1t is probable that should Mr.. Myers be
nominated, he would discover that heavy as
has been the toll to get thus far, troubles are
Just begun. The time when a nomination
by the Democratic party and an election
were equivalents has blown over. Candi-
g dates who have made themselves candidates
merely by party means-6nesseing at pri-
mary meetings and packing delegations, will
be distrusted by large numbers of those who
vote; and the quiet anarchy of the ballot
boxes will be more formidable to professional
office-seekers than the more demonstrative
chaos of the Convention.

whisky inspection. .

The Council ilibustered last night to
prevent the acceptance of the official bonds
of the Whisky Inspectors. Those of the Oil
.r and Nolasses Inspectors, appointed by the
game Board, were accepted without question,
but when it came to the Inspectors of
Whisky gentlemen suddenly had doubts
about the constitutionaty of the Ferguson
Bill. They had no doubts about oil and
molasses, but seriously fear that it is not
constitutional enough for whisky Such is
the wisdom of grave City Fathers.
One gentleman said that the Chamber Of
Commerce had appointed a committee on the
matter, and the Council had better wait to sec
what they thought aboutit. Thus tseems
our City Council is subordinate to the
Chamber of Commerce. Perhaps if the
whitby-dealers stir up this matter pretty
sharp an odor will be developed that will
be more pungent than agreeable.

Proteslant IrIsh OeIehrntIon

NEwARK, N. j., September 5.-The Prot
estant Irish celebration here to-day, had a
large procession. The military were under
arms during the day in anticipation of q riot.
On returning TO New York, the members Of
the several visiting societies discharged their
pistols in the air, but a ball from one took
effect in the neck of a colored woman, fatally
wounding her.
