WARRINGTON, July u
The Democratic politicians have abandon-
ed all hopes OF efFecsing any accommodation
whatever, between their respective oandi-
dates, by joint electoral tickets or otherwise.
The often reported rumors OF the intended
removal Of John Hart, Superintendent OF
Public Printing, do not appear TO be we'll
founded.
The President will probably remove this
week to his summer residence.

Picture OF AN tsOx-Eyed Jun0.5
Mrs. III. b. Stowe, in Der last letter from
Italy, has the following quaint and queer
comparison:
Mighty cream colored oxen, With their
grand branching horns, and great dreamy
eyes, with lsshvs long and silky, were lying
about 10 the fresh grass or standing pensiye-
iy missing. One looks into their deep, dark
ewes as into soma mysterious fountain like
that Of Egeria, shaded with ferns and rush
es-and one sees then why the household di-
vnity, the mother OF gods and men, who
presided over the cradle of infancy, should
have oeen conceived by old Homer as or
eyed, The epithet brings to us the true OK.
woma n--fair and broad chested, calm and
full Of domesticity and homely providences,
a clover fed woman, whose breath smells OF
sweet meadow hay--who chewed cuds Of good
household thought, silently filing herself up
with kindly intents--in whose motherly lap
and broad bosom might be counsel and sound
wisdom, and 40 unchanging daylight Of calm
content;--a woman made for wear, with no
fancius, no nervous. starts, no megYlms or
hyste rics-but in whose ample sweetness,
megrims, Mysteries, stridulous nerves and in
frmi les OF weaker conditioned natures,
might find dewy repose, such as one gets
lying on hay-rick hearing birds sing in .
mellow June day afternoon. This is the
ox-eyed Juno that one sees in Villa Ludovi-
OF, with her sublime brow, her great calm
eyes, her full, sweet, noble lips, her ampli-
tude Of outline-most needful and At foun-
tain of womanly kindness, truth, 6rmness,
oalmness sympathy and healtheulnes--like
these magnificent cream colored creatures OF
the Csmpagna. Wo much fear that the do
mestic anecdotes Of Juno, given by hsr
/ poet, suit as i'll with this idea a. poetry gem
orally does with reality, and that Jupiter
might shrng his shoulders expressively a.
the contrast. So often is good animal su-
peror in it's morale to the human type most
resembling it, The introduction of wider
intelligence seems to play the mischief will
creation generally.

GIVING UP ALL HoPK.--The New York Ii er-
aid, one Of the main pillars Of the Demo
cratic party for the last three years, has
given up all hope Of the election OF DEM
ocratio President. In late issue it uses the
following language
The Democratic party 10 destroyed. There
s not the rem otest visible ghost OF consin-
gency for the reunion OF the belligerent eie-
ments Of this revolutionary convention. The
moral consequences of what they have al
ready done render it superfuous to speculate
upon what they may do to-day or to-mor-
row. Assuming that thoes fighting factions,
oliques and sections may stiIi agree to bury
the hntchet, and unite upon a compromise
ticket, it will avail them nothing. The party
is broken to pieces, and with one, two or
three tickets, it must be superseded. IL is
too badly cut up, toe seriously crippled, and
has too many bones broken, to be healed and
put upon its legs again in single day or a
single year. 1t is practically dissolved and
disbanded, whatever may be the remedies
adopted by this Convention. In brief, the
National Convention of the Democratic par
ty, having become degraded to the base con-
dition of Tammany Hall in it's worst days Of
ruffanism, is only suffering the fate OF Tam.

The editor OF the Albany Atlas and Argus
wss . delegate to the Baltimore Convention.
On returning home he hoisted the Douglas
tick ID al the head OF his columns and makes
the following extraordinary confession,
which corroborates the suspicious we have
long entertained:
aIhe admission of the southern delega-
tions precisely as carried in the Convention
- had ID not been followed by secession
would not have nominated MIR. Douglas.--
He could not have secured two. thirds, even
of th ose present, and we speak confidently
when we say that there was no purpose
certainly not on the part OF the New York
deleg ation-to declare him nominated with
out wo-thirds vote OF the delegates pres
ent. Further than this we are entirely sat-
is6ed that, had there been no secession, af-
ter 1t had been demonstrated by q few bal
lots that Mr.. Douglas could not receive two
thirds, he would have been withdrawn by his
friends, and harmonious nomination OF
some other person would have taken place.
liz not Withdrawn, we are certain he would
have been abandoned by q sufficient number
to have given another candidate two-t third
nomination. The secession nominated Doug
las. lad there been no secession ut Charles
ton, another candidate would have been
there nominated. And had there been no
seoes ion at Baltimore, Mr.. Douglas would
not I'VE been the nominee. He 10, there
fore, clearly indebted to the blunders Of his
opponents for his nomination"
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1860-07-04

So Mr.. Lincoln was nominated by l8s
more votes from the South than were cast

The Police Court, usually developing nothing but

manner almost incredible H
This morning case was examined before Justice
Akin which has an air of romance around it, and
exhibits areyeaton of real life from which most
thrilling tale of fiction could be wrought a wo-
man named Ellen WEIGH was found last night, BY
one of the policemen, rowing about the streets,
slightly intoxicated. She was arrested upon the
charge Of vagrancy. Parties, who are knowing to
her history, inform us that some five six years
ago, Ellen ran away from Ireland in company with
dashiug young irishman, whom her parents had
forbidden her to marry. Her father lived at Castle
kearney, and was man of sopulence and influence,
and Ellen had been wei brought up, But with
that peryerseness which Is always characteristic Of
love, was bent upon marrying the young officer.
She accordingly eloped with him and came to
Philadelphia, where she was married. She lived
with her husband about q year at the expiration
OF which time he died. She then came to Chicago
and married again, but again was doomed to mis-
fortune Her husband, who had the reputation Of
0eing an excellent man, was drowned In the river
by falling from schooner. Ellen maintained her
self BY sewing, for time but finally fell in with
disrepHfabe characters who fleeced her out of her
clothing and an allowance Of $50, which she had
received every three months from her father,
through tho priest. She took to drinking, and by
gradual descents soon fell to low DEPTH We
know from indubitable sources, that this woman,
this morning arraigned before the Police Court fol-
being common vagrant is an osra niece to Dan
lei O'Cennell the great Irish orator and refermer
her mother, Mary O'Connell, being his sister. Her
parents, Us we said before, occupy Castle Kearney

breadth of Ireland az q family of opnlence and
are widely esteemed for their many acts of kind

After the boiler left the arch, II darted though

her head and chest were underneath the boiler !;
the upper part Of her head was frightfully crushed
The Old gentleman was III another room some ten
feet from Mrs Hoag and received fatal injuries id

received his injuries probably from the falling
bricks OF the chimney or falling timbers The
Youngest child was near the old gentleman id the

where there was hot FIRE at the time, and nearly
child was considerably burned about the hands
and arms, and was severely injured in the eyes
from the dust and mortar which was thrown into

the child will recover. although on Sunday night
there was slight hope. The other child, aged five
years, was thrown from the house into the yard,
but was not dangerously injured.
