BELL AND EVERETT

Never in the history Of national conventions
did the nomination of any such assemblages fall
so completely still born as has the nomination o.
Bell and Everett at Baltimore. There is scarce.
ly particle of interest manifested for them il
any part Of the country, even in the ranks Of the
party that made the nomination Sotne Of the
editors, with characteristic zeal, ore making
great though impotent efforts to stir up some
enthusiasm for their nominees, but they are like
the attempt to blow phosphorus to a red heat.
Their efforts are made ridiculous by the perfect
sang trOid that prevails among the masses of the
party When Mr.. Fillmore was nominated, many
were silly enough to believe be had some chance
to be elected, and his followers worked for his
election with zeal, and their great labors were
rewarded with the electoral vote of one State,
and that State has since wheeled into line with
;he Democracy. Mr.. Fillmore had in him more
elements of popularity than John Bell ever had
He had administered the Government for nearly
four years, and his partisans claimed, and some
of his opponents admitted, that his adthinistra-
ton was Washington like" yet, the support
be received was burlesque upon his Presiden-
tial aspirations. Under such circumstances, how
could the nomination of Bell and Everett prove
otherwise than an abortion. Without the pros
pect of carrying single State in the Union,
much less sufficient number to elect, how could
It be expected that the Opposition party could
feel or take any interest in the matter. When it
is known that there will not be an electoral ticket
FOR Bell and Everett in scarcely any Of the non.
sayeholding States, and in all the slave States
they are hopelssSy in the minority, how could it
be expected that any enthusiasm would prevail
among those who would gladly see them elevated
to power. There is m indifference In regard to
the ticket that will prove fatal to it. Many, very
many, who would prefer it If there were any
hope of success, not willing foolishly to throw
away their strength Upon man who has no
more chance to be elevated to the Presidency than
he has to be lifted dp and hung upon one of the
horns Of the moon, will cast their votes for tbs
best man TO defeat the Black Republican candi-
date The mass of the Opposition party regret
that the leaders took it into their b cad to make
nominations, and preferred 10 take TO party
action, but cast their strength in favor of the
soundest candidate whose prospects we're best to
defeat that party which, if it gets into power,
will ultimately break up the Union. Many will
take this independent and manly course, not
withstanding the Jealous efforts Of the drill mas
tiers and whippers-in of the Opposition party.
Such course is dictated by good sense and
patriotism, and we expect to see thousands tread
with firm and unfaltering step the path Of duty
and Of patriotism.

DIsAPPEARANcE of Mr.. WATERMAN
Great alarm has been produced among the
friends of Charles M. Waterman, late May
or of this city, by his mysterious disappear
ance since last Thursday. After the most
dilligent search, no clue has been found Of
him.
Any person, Who can give information Of
his whereabout would greatly oblige his fam.
lily and numerous friends.
Mr.. Waterman has been for some years
the victim of the most painful physical dis
ease
This, with other causes Of dependency
had greatly op essed his spirits of late; and
his friends ap2rehend that he may have
sought in dea@ a relief from narrowing
cares and disappointmehts. We fervently
hope their fears may be groundless, and that
he may be quickly found and restored to
the large circle of those who have ever low.

Since writing the above we learn that a
probable clue to Mr.: WIS disappearance has
been discovered.-N. 0. Delta.

MAYOR WOOp-NEW YORK POLITICIANS.

MAYOR WOOD-NEw YORK POLITICIANS.
The telegraph informs us that Mayor
Wood has gone over to the camp Of Doug
las, and that he has written letter denounc
the secession movement at Charleston. We
don't believe it. If, however, it should turn
out to be true, the conviction that Wood is
lost to all sense of shame, and utterly desti-
tute of the instincts of an honorable man,
will be rivited upon our mind. We heard
Mayor Wood repeatedly declare in Charles
ton, both in public and in private, that he
endorsed fully the principles of the majors
ty report, and that if bis delegation had been
given seats in the convention, they would
have voted with the South on every question
affecting her rights, her Lonor and her inter
ests. He affixed his own and the names of
the gentlemen composing bis delegation to
the constitution of the convention framed
for the government Of the seceders We
saw him do this thing-heard him express
his approval of the movement, and were one
of the five hundred persons who loudly cheer
ed him upon his noble utterances. We
can't conceive it possible that he would SO
stulify himself as to act as the telegrah has
indicated.
But why should we be surprised at any
thing a New York politician may do or say ?
They are proverbially uncertain, notoIiously
unreliable, and have, as general rule, no
more regard for consistency than Camanche
Indian has for the scalp Of bis captive ene>

The New YORK Posi- OFFICE DEFAncA-
TIoN.-Postmaster General Holt publishes
a lengthy letter in the Constitution of the
18th, detailing the proceedings in the case
of the detaulting postmaster Of New York,
in answer to an inquiry from the House Of
Representatives.
We give the following extract from the
letter:
"The defalcation of Isaac V. Fowler, late
postmaster at New York, was communicated
to me, for the first time Oh the 10th of May
1860, and have no reason to believe that
it was known to this Department at an ear
lier day. On reaching Washington from
the South, in the last week of April Upon
inquiry | learned; through the Auditors IF,
flee. that the accounts of The postmaster at
New York had beeh audited aud balanced
to the 8lst of Dec, 1859, bit that those for
the quarter endibg S1st March, 1880; had
not been adjusted for wont of the dccotnt
current, which had not been received. re-
questud the Auditor to wfite at ONCE, and
say that longer delay III returning this &C.
count could not be subftiltted to. This was
done, but i'll Consequences OF the ABSENCE Of
Nj. Fowler; or Of some otbGF unexplained
cahsej the account was not placed III the
hands of the Auditor Until the 9th of May.
On the morning Of the 10th of May the
Fist Assistant Postmaster General handed
me two confidential letters addressed TO him
by MIR Fowler, in which bis defalcati6n was
confessed in general terms, and an Earliest
appeal Was made to the Department to fof,
bear proceedings against him until he could
have ah opportunity to make good the deficit
through the advances of friend aud the sale
of PROPERTY which he represented hiiiiself as
holding: was then informed that the at-
count Had been received by tie Auditor,
on the previous day, and that clerk was
actively engaged III strdtiniziug it and would
be able to announce the result in few hours.
The cliief clerk of the Auditor at the Saihe
time mentioned to me that the account as
rendered showed a dedication of upwards
of $129, 0OU beehfihg this, with the con.
fession contained in the letters, quite sufi-
cient to justify imtfediate action, the case
was without delay presented to the Pesident
who oh the same day, signed an order remov

office should be placed temporarily in charge

In view of the fact TINT there are non thre
Presidential aspirants in Che &eld, and the proba
bility of there being two more, it may be inter
esting to our readers to know pre- cisely how thu
President will be elected in the event there shout
be NJ election by the electors chosen by eac
State. If Bell and Gen. Houston have an,
strength in the North, and we think their services
to that section ehtitle them to some it NAV b,
that the election of President will devolye upor
Congress.
In such contingency there would be no posi-
Billy Of eleeting Lincoln, unless the Southern Or
position members Of Congress unite with the Black
Republicans. and although some Of them united
with them on several points where the interests
of the South were at stake, we cannot believe
that all Of them would aid in foistiDg upon the
country the Back Republican nominee for the
Presidency.
The House Of Representatives has nothing
whatever to do with the electios' Of Vice Presi-
dent nor the Senate with the election of a Presi-
dent The powers of each body are distinct and
entirely Independent of the other.
Ii no President be chosen by the electors, tie
House of Representatives may choose the Presi-
dent, their choice being restricted to the persons
having the highest numbers not exceeding three
on the list of those voted for for President.
II 10 Vice President be chosen by the electors,

Eve highest numbers on the list of those voted
fcF Cor Vice President
If she House fails to elect President Before
tae 4th Of March next following, then the Vice
President, whether elected by the electors or BY
the Senate, s ball act as President.
The rule OF nnerof voting under VIII ich the
Senate chooses Vice-President, is exactly the
reverse Of that Of the House in choosing PresiL
dent-each being the reverse of the general prin-
eple or basis upon which the respective bodies
are organized. The House; representing the
people, and ordinarily voting per eapita, vote for
PRESIDENT by the States the representation from
each State having one vote, and a majbrity Of all
the States being necessary to a choice. Tae Sen
ate representing the States--in theory, at least,
and in the manner Of electing ScnatOrs-votes

titled to vote, and q majority of ell the Sena-
tors being necessary to Q choice.

HOW THE TORNADO LOOKED.

At about 81 o'clock, last Sunday evening,
occurred the most terrible storm which this
region ever experienced. The tornado Co.'s
sisted of two wings-one sweeping to the
u0rthWard and the other to the southwark
of this city-in which the awful works of
the reused elements could be distinctly seen
by us as they swept on their maddening
course. The noise was like stGpendous
cataract, and oil turned pale as they listened.
The formation of the water spout or whirl>
wind which was in the south wing of the
storm, was witnessed by large number of
citizens, being first seen bellying and surging
down from. the clouds, and twisting and
writhiHg like huge worm, till i. finally
reached the earth and became an hour.glass
shaped column, rushing wildly onward with
the gale. The column looked to be about 1
of mile high and 4 or s rods through the
smallest part-an awfully sublime and mag
nifcent spectacle. The cloud which passed
over Cedar Rapids appeared to be as full of
force as those at the sides, but fortunately
rose too high to do much damage directly
overhead the clouds we're of purple hue,
bordered on the van by a pitchy black, and
the rear by gray and iurid white, constantly
Illuminated by flashes of lightning, The
North wing of the storm was much more
extensive than the other, and comprised the
real tornado, so far as the effects prove, and
the appearance of mountain mass of
heavy; inky colored clouds crashing along
the surface of the ground. To the north
east, between Marion and Lisbon, the two
wings combined, and the awful force thus
concentrated swooped around, passing again
near our city, tLeh rushed away to the cast
ward, to deal death and destruction to the
unsuspecting families who happened to be
in the storm fend's path. The course of
the storm, after leaving this vicinity, was
due cast till it reached The Mississippi,
though verging out of the line in some
places from five to ten miles.

In our exchanges we find a paragraph
stating that marriage of the Prince Of
Wales has been arranged with Princess of
Prussia, with the remark that sister of the
Prince of Prussia is to be the future Queen
of England, thus making double marriage,
the sister of the Prince of Wales being
married to the future King Of Prussia.
There is4 slight objection to the story, in
the circumstance that Prince Frederick has
but one sister, who is three years older than
the Prince of Wales, and has been married
two years to the Grand Duke Of Baden.
