LOOK TO BALTIMORE Occurrences at Charles
ton have demonstrated the irreconcilable
antagonisms that exist in the principles
and opinions OF those who have constituted
the Democratic organization. The country
now sees that there is no common ground of pov
ernmenta policy and constitutional construction
with that party. Their claim to be national can
no longer be urged. By the withdrawal of the
delegates OF most of the Southern States precla-
nation is made to the world that Democracy in the
North and Democracy in the South can no longer
co-operate-that they distinct and antaponistic
iactions and that if the government is to be ad-
mlnstered, the sentiment of nationalism re-estab-
lIshed, and the Union preserved these thinus must
be achieved by some other party. Democracy is
unequal to the task! What then is the country to
90! w hat are Democrats themselves to do? OF
course they cannot look for relief to party sec
tonal In all its feelings, in all its principles in the
very theatre of its existence, as is the Black Re-
publican The only hope for the country the only
resort for the Democrats in such an exipencv Is
the movement now in progress-in the heart and
IN the van of which is the noble band of Wings who
nave survived the wreck of their pary-for the for
nation OF Constitutional Union Party. Such an
organization has now become an absolute necessity
such an organization, only, can save the country
from the perils fsectiOnalism-the horrors of dis
solution Presenting itself just at this fatal crisis
IN IN the history OF the Democratic party-ust in the
flush of Black Republican assurance Of victory the
patriotic movement which is to assume shape and
present Itself bodily before the nation next week
at Baltimore seems ordained of that good Provi-
dence that has so'guarded the interests and guided
the destinles OF our country from the beginning as
TO leave us room to hope that in every trouble we
shall find way of escape. To Baltimore, then, and
to counses of the loyal men who have been com
mlssIoned to assemble there, let the country look
for deliverance!

WOMAS's CURIosITY.-Lades were debarret
from visiting the japanese corvette while it lay il
San francisco. But two French ladies were de
termined to the decks of the foreign ship; The
feminine lexicon, like that of youth, contains enc
such word as fall" Accordingly, by the conni
vance of their husbands, they donned' the distin
gushing articles of the masculine uniform, anC
clambered up the ships sides. As Frenchmen
they were received with remarkable politeness
and carried on lively conversation with the Ad
miral-the only drawback being that neither coult
understand the others language. But when they
prepared for departure, and extended their hand:
Japanese perceived a rat, and summoning an at

derance OF hucksterng, office and punder-seeking
pohuclans In the Convention had produced the Sc
ceSsion OF the Democratic States all of which were
oeIeVed 10 nave separated from the other wing of
the body. 1t was known that from the non-slaye-
holding States the delegations were in no small
part made up of oifice-hoders Office brokers or
once seekers, not few imbued with bitter hatred
to the influences paramount in the Democratic
party as represented in the National Administra
uon. The fact that the majority of the Conven-
ton, representing not a single certain Democratic
electoral vote,) secuted the efforts of the repre-
sentatlves of the certain Democratic electoral
votes to maintain, in the platform, the constitu.
tlonal rights OF all the States which compelled the
secession, was attributed to the remarkable preva-
lence in the body of the influences mentioned
ABOVE; and, consequently, there were few thought
lul ana unselfsh Democrats in Washington who
did not depore the condition of the morale of the
partys counselS, as brought about by the abuse of
the convention system as now practiSed. 1t was
further depored as having initiated the destruc-
ton of the Government in initiating the destruc-
tlon OF the only national American political party
the only constitutional party left since the disso
luton of the Wing party.

PROBABLE DOUBLE MURDER.--At the recent
county-seat election in Falls City, Kansas, two
men, named Meek and Davis, were present to
preserve order. They soon began to quarrel and,
although separated by friends, managed to fire a
number of shots at each other during the after
noon, none of them, however, taking effect At
last, after prowlng about town with loaded pistols
in search of each other, they met and fired; both
shots took effect, man dying at once, the other
lingering, but past recovery.
On the nth instant, a band of dozen men in
Austin, Texas, took from the hands of the Sheriff
a prisoner on trial for murder, and killed him,
firing thirteen bullets into his body from revolvers.
The murdered mans name Taney, and it is
probable that he was insane Two of the assasslns
were arrested at once.
In the De Kalb Circuit Court of Indiana last
week, Mrs. Elizabeth Knapp was convicted OF
numbering her husband, and sentenced Tor ne u

STRANGE FREAKS OF ELEorRICrrY.-The Spring
field Republican, of the Goth ult., has the follow
ing "About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon during
the heavy snow squall prevailing at the time, a
singular phenomenon was observed at the tele-
graph office in this city. A strange ticking noise
was heard coming from the Switch where most
of the wires running through the Office are con-
nected. The sound loud and similar to that
produced by steam raising the lid of kettle of
boiling water, in escaping. The operator com
menced testing the various wires, and found that
the noise proceeded from a wire that was open or
disconnected in the Springfield Office, and running
only to Hartford, where it was also open. From
this wire the operator received shock that COM
pletely parayzed his arm, and at the same time a
spark of intense brilliancy was emitted from the
end of one of his fingers This noise and the
heavy current upon the wire disappeared stimuli
taneously with the squall. There was nothing
about the switch that could have vibrated so as to
produce the sound, and even if there had been
electricity was never before known to make such
a noise under like circumstances. Upon calling
the attention of the Hartford operator to the fact
he tested and reported similarly, adding that there
must be something peculiar about that wire, for
his arm was nearly broken

NILLAINoUs PLOT.-The Detroit Free Press
states that villainOus plot was revealed by two
rogucs, named Charles Smith and Reed Bowman
who were recently sentenced to the State Prison
Inc plot was to destroy the railroad bridge at
Mount Clemens, on the Grand Trunk Railway, and
allow the regular passenger train to precipitate
proceeding plunder alone, the perpetrators
intending to conceal themselves in the vicinity and
watch for the catastrophe, and thence pounce upon
the victims on pretence of assisting them from the
wreck. They went so far as to commence work on
the bridge, removing, by the use of wrench, a
number of nuts from the long bolts which support
! the trestle-work. But for the detection and con-
ylction of the rascals for other crimes, another
! Des Jardnes disaster, with its bloody record,
| would have been added to the list Of railroad
| tragedies.
