In the little that done yesterday we think
the Douglas men had clearly the advantage The
rule whereby the Delegates from each District are
entitled to cast the vote of that District unless the
Delegation was chosen by a State Convention and
instructed thereby to vote a unit seems fair and
it was sustained by every Douglas and resisted
by most Of the Chivalry, who only rallied lOl
votes against it to 1875 for it. Then the resolve to
have the latform reported and adopted before
ballot for President Is taken, though it passed
with little opposition, is point gained for Doug
las. The advocates Of a Slave Code for the Ter
ritories must now produce their n7strum, which
is sure to be rejected; and then they bound to
bolt-which will rid the Convention of thirty or
forty of the most violent opponents Of Douglas

Another Japanese invention, pract;ced

made with needles prepared Tor the purpose,

abdomen, though other tleshy paris arc
chosen for the operation. These needle,
