Inc Two DemOcroc1eS.
The New York Herald is gathering
up the splinters from the great Demo
cratic "split," and laying them in piles
to see which is biggest. 1t gives list of
Democratic papers in the United States,
with their position among the Democra-
cies. Breckenridge is fourteen ahead.
Of those Democratic journals which
have determined which ticket to support,
one hundred and serenty y-sin, according to
the Herald, have hoisted the Breckin-
ridge and Lane flag, and one hundred
and sicty-t,eo swear by Douglas.
The fight would seem to be pretty
equal one. But Breckinridge has this
advantage: the most of his papers are
published in Democratic States, where
there is some prospectof securing electo-
raj votes, while most of the Douglas
papers are published in Republican
States, where he will not get single
electoral vote.
There are a number of Democratic
journals which have not yet concluded
which ticket they will support. We
think all such will finally go over to
Breckenridge. Wejudge so from the fact
that all those which did not take sides i'm
mediately on the rupture, and have since
taken position, have hoisted the Breck,
inridge flag, and we have no doubt the
others will finally do SO.

Fatal RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

On Monday evening, two cars and
the engine of a freight train, going East,
on the Central Ohio Railroad, fell
through the ''Elm Creek" bridge, about
three and half miles from Columbus
The train consisted of seventeen
heavy cars, drawn by the Hero,.a ten
wheeled engine, and one of the best
owned by the road, costing about s21 900.
The engine had passed over the bridge
as far as the eastern abutment, when
the timbers gave way, and the engine
ran against the abutment, and turned up
and fell over backwards, together with
two cars, which landed at the bottom of
the creek, some twenty-five or thirty
feet. There was three persons on the
engine at the time-Jason Mulnix, en-
gineer; James Morrow, fireman, and
another person, whose name we were
unable to learn. The fireman and stran-
ger were both instantly killed, and Mr..
Muluix had his leg broken and other
wise seriously injured. The engine is
a perfect wreck, as are also the two cars
which went down Two other cars are
hanging by the couplings, and four 9th
ers remain on that part of the bridge
which is still standing.
Workmen had been engaged for some
time building new bridge, and they
mad just completed the work, and were
preparing to put it up, but in the excite
ment which existed on the ground we
were unable to learn to what cause may
be attributed this sad calamity.
Mr.. Richard Durbin of Newark made
a narrow escape. He had been to the
city and was returning to the place where
he has a contract in filling up some
trestle work, and had proceeded some
distance on the engine, but his coat
caught fire from the sparks, and the en-
gineer persua5,1 him to go into the ca
boose, and to this circumstance he owes
the safety of his life. We will be able
in our next issue to give the particulars
in detail, together with the probable
cause of the accident

From Washington.

It
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Gen. Bick-
ley has published an address to the
knights of the Golden Circle, in Vir-
ginia and other Southern States. They
are ordered to repair to their encamp-
ment in Texas, by the 18th of September.
He says the citizens of Texas have
raised S499, 900, and he appeals to her
sister Southern States for contributions.
The object is declared to be to Ameri-
canize and Southernize Mexico, looking
to the establishment of Southern con-
federacy; such course is to be taken as
will not violate the neutrality laws-the
knights going to Mexico as emigrants,
and becoming bona fde citizens under,
it is said, Mexican sanction. The Order
is said to number $4,000.

In no State in the Union is the canvass
proceeding with such vigor and enthusi-
ans as in Indiana, Appointments are out
and mass meetings are being held all
over the State at which the multitudes
in attendance are immense, and the en-

stumping the State, and is everywhere
greeted by the congregated thousands
of the people. Hassaurek, of Cincin-
natl, is also in,this State at present, and is
doing work that no other man could
do. He is one of the ablest German
speakers in the Union, was a Democrat
until Democracy sold itself to the South
ern disunionists when, like true man,
as he is, he left them and is doing gal
liant service in the Republican ranks
Nearly the whole vast German vote of

Judge Brinkerhof.


The nomination of Hon. Jacob Brink
erhoff, for Judge of the Supreme Court,
has given the most unbounded satisfac-
ton to the Republicans of Richland
County, where the Judge resides. The
Republicans are determined to redeem
old Richland from the hands of the Dem
ocrats, and they aoiH do 1t. Many Dem
ocrats have announced their purpose to
vote for Judge Brinkerhoff, and while
they are at it we rather think they will
go the whole ticket. The split and de-
moralized factions Of the Democratic
party are in fierce fight in that region
of the State, and while the leaders are
denouncing each other as TRAITORS" and
"disunionists" the honest voters are ad-
mitting the truth of these charges, and
coming over to the Republicans by
scores. s!When rouges, &C.

The Democracy of Franklin County.
The Canital TrfU Fact. nublished

The Democracy of Franklin County.
The Capital City Fact, published at
Columbus, in giving an account of the
political matters in that city and county,
says:
"In this county (Franklin) we find
that majority of the old school of the
Democracy are Breckinridge men, and
will vote that ticket at the November
election. If the leaders of the party are
as active as the friends of Douglas, we
would not be surprised if Breckenridge
and Lane would get as many votes in
this county as Douglas and Johnson
We are assured by good authority that
there are over four hundred men in this
city now known to be steadfast friends of
Breckinridge and Lane
The Fact is neutral paper, with Bell
and Everett tendencies. The above ac-
count does not look very encouraging to
our Douglas friends.

Hon. o. r. Moore,

Hon. o. r. Moore,
Of Portsmouth, is out for Bell and
Everett. The Tribune of that place,
which has heretofore supported Mr..
Moore in nearly all his meanderings,
gives him up now as hopeless case. Mr..
Moore thinks that by possibility the cleo
ton of President may be thrown into
Congress, and that if so, by possibility
Mr.. Bell may be elected, and if so, by
natural consequence, Mr.. Bells very de-
voted friends in Ohio will have a sure
thing on all the Federal offices. MIR.
Moore can't hope for anything from
Lincoln, and Mr.. Moore knows that
neither Breckenridge nor Douglas stands
the slightest chance of an election
The only hope for Mr., Moore, therefore,
is the desperate one that Bell may be
smuggled into the Presidential chair
through a coalition Of Democrats and
South Americans, and as he has nothing
to hope, by way of Office, from any OF the
other candidates, he is preparing the
way to make "good thing" out of this
desperate contingency. To this end he
is endeavoring to aid the Democracy Of
scioto County and the 10th Congress
ional District, by reorganizing the
4merica,s party, with the hope, not of
defeating the Republicans there, Or in
Ohio, for this he acknowledges cannot
be done, but to place himself right with
whichever of the parties opposed to the
Republicans may succeed in the scram-
ble for the Presidency, if the election
should go to the House. Go it, Oscar!

MISCELLANEOUS.

THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS
ALIcE.-The Berlin Prussian New
Gazette learns from source worthy of
credit, that the statement as to project
ed marriage between the hereditary
Prince Louis of Hesse Darmstadt and
the Princess Alice of England is we'll
founded, and that the recent visit of the
two Hessian Princes to London was re-
lative to the proposed union. Prince
Louis was born in 1887, and is heir pre-
sumptive to the throne of Grand Duke
/ of Hesse.
BAvARIAN CRIMINAL LAw.-The
draft of new penal code for Bavaria,
which has been many years in prepara-
tion, has just been published at Munich,
and it makes these notifications in the
existing legislation: Nosort of rehabili-
tation can be accorded by the courts and
tribunals. The admission Of extenua-
ting circumstances is interdicted to the
jury and to courts and tribunals, be-
cause, it is said, the admission is not
justified by theory, and is proved to be
pernicious in practice. Cellular i'm
prisonment is not to be allowed. The
maximum of fines for offenses is to be
allowed The maximum of fines for of
fenses is to be raised from 600 forins

for I. 5. Senators, that body being con-
sldered the most dignifed Legislative
assembly in the world. But how stands
the members of that body in the present
campaign? Wehavc thirty three States,
and consequently sixty-six Senator's
ofthese, the Democratic party, as it was
before the rupture, had large majority
Where are they now found? Of the
siAty-six Senators, sIxTY-FoUR are ac-
lively, earnestly aud determinedly op-
posed to Douglas! Only himself, and
George L. Pugh, of all that body of
Statesmen and influential men, are found
in his ranks! Was there ever such a
spectacle seen before? When was there
over before candidate SO universally
repudiated and. opposed by all the best
men of his party? But the House of
Representatives in not much better. Of
tho two hundred and thirty-f -four mem
bers of Congress, all but some dozen OF
twenty, are actively opposed to Douglas.
" hat earthly or unearthly chance, then,
has he, not of being elected-for that is
too absurd to be thought of-but of get
ting any electoral votes at all?
Yet in the face of all this, and the
'clcarest manifestation of popular opinion
swelling UP into general movement of
the people for Lincoln, We have the as
surance of the Democratic organs-those
who support Breckinridge-that lie will
be elected, and those which support
Douglas that he will certainly succeed!
This game ofattempted deception will,
in the very necessity Of the case, work
out terrible retrlbution on those who
are playing it. The readers of these pa
pers either believe their representations,
or they do not. If they do not believe
them, then their confidence in their ed
itors is already gone, and their allegi-
ance to the party SO far weakened, and
before the election the honest portion of
them will be prepared to join the Re
publicans. But if they do believe these
representations, and are induced to act
upon them, they will feel the deception
the more severely, when the election is
over, and will not be likely to forget, Or
soon forgive, the deceivers

LINCOLN IN NEW YORK CITY.

/ LlNCOLN YORK CITY,
In addition to the cordial support
| given to Lincoln and Hamlin in New
York, by the Republicans, the ranks Of
his supporters are being swelled by
thousand who have heretofore opposed
the Republican party. A very large
body of men of intelligence, in the city
and State of New York have, up to this
time, stood aloof from the Republican
movement, and, as 'sOld Line Whigs,'
conservative Americans" and "eon-
servative Opposition" &C., have hitherto
opposed the Republican party, and in
directly aided the Democrats. They
voted for Fillmore in 1856, and have had
separate tickets at every election since
On the 10Th inst meeting of these
conservatives" was held in the city, and
attended by vast multitude of people
Daniel Ulman, the late candidate for
Governor, Of these " conservatives, and
others, addressed the meeting, after
which the following resolutions, pledgine
the meeting to support Lincoln and
Hamlin, were almost unanimously
adopted: &C.,,
{ WHEREAS, A Presidential election
once more approaches, whereof the issue
| is already manifest: therefore
ResolDed, That the election of Abra-
ham Lincoln to the Presidency, now
morally certain, will fitly close an era Of
prodigality, imbecil1ty and sectional dis.
cord, and usher in the rule of integrity
economy and nationality, restoring the
golden age of the Republic.
| Resolued, That we call upon our citi
zens, without distinction of party, tc
rally around the standard of Lincoln and
Hamlin, loud applause, in full as,
surance that their election will insure
renewed and most needed attention to
the great industrial and commercial in.
terests of the country, too long made the
sport of faction and the plaything Of
reckless ambition. ~
Resozred, That we call upon the elec.
tors of our city and State to surround
and sustain the administration Of Abra,
ham Lincoln with Congress Of able
experienced, discreet and incorruptible
men, who will cordially and earnestly Ia
Dor to restore the era of liberty, honesty
and national prosperity.
The State of New Y York was considered
good for 80, 600 majority for Lincoln, ,>ir

said to be general throughout the State

the apathy of IFS townspeople with reference
to the Importance of opening the Henness

building 4 wagon road by that Splendid
route, in direct line from Marysville. We
syhparhise with the Jotanal, and regret that
the company organized in its town to build
a r6aa TO TIE Summit from Eureka saw
proper to take no notice of proposition
n,Ade them By the Truckee Turnpike Com :
pany for cooperation In building so much
of the Heaness Pass highway as both COM
panies must travel after leaving Jackson's
ranch. That proposition was made in good
faith, was introductory to ore for an imme-
diate opening of the Pass to pack trains, and
if accepted %oAld have insured such OPEN
ing some time ago. The route will be open
without such corporation, but not so soon,
and by good wagon and stage road instead
of by a mule trail.

recently. There are abost two hundred
big hearted bachelors up there who are
waiting for leap year chances.
