Douglas :. master of his situation The one
reminds us of the dashing knight who slew the
dragon, and the other of the cunning expert who
cut the Gordian knot. The bill introduced by
Mr. Douglas hits the nail on the head by prevent

The Democratic Convention in Hamilton
county on Tuesday was IN keeping with the
scenes of Monday night The Congressional
Conventions were held at different localities.
George H. Peudleton was re-nominatcd in the
First District by large majority over both
Ferguson and Lyle, and Alexander Long
was nominated in the Second District, ac-
cording to the Douglas method at Baltimore.
Then followed the democratic County Con-
vention' at Woods Theatre, which the Ga
zette describes as 'indescribably tunultuous
and disgusting Itadds:
Never did any political assemblage, within
our knowledge, more completely cover itself
with disgrace. This grand political row
probably never had parallel. The Hiberni-
an elem. Mt WIS strongly in the ascendant
among the delegates. The spirit OF modern
Democracy was quite too visibly at work
among the congTegated masses. Respectable
Democrats hung their heads with shame, and
walked away 10 mediate, in e more retired
place, on the monstlous evils growing out Of
their partisan practices and discipline, and on
the thorough corruption and final dissolution
Of their once powerful party.
Without even settling the cases Of any Of
the fifteen COntesting delegations, the ''Con-
vennon," after hours OF wranglng cursing,
fighting, and chaotic confusion, barely escaped
from literally breaking up in general me-
lee, by adjourning for one week.
This device was pathetioally urged upon
them by George 4. Pugh, not himself del
egate, and carried in a momentary lull, occa-
stoned by his soothing eloquence and gushing
tears.

ALosInE Tour for Dougns.

The stump candidate made but a short
search for his "Babes in the Woods down
South, and for good reason. The trip didnOt
pay. The Bell men instead of Democrats
rushed to hear and hurrah for him, for effect
merely. A Washington dispatch OF the 4th
to the Gazette says:
l am reliably assured that Mr.. Douglas
Southern campaign tour, so far from benefit
ing him, has done himself and his cause in
finite damage. He has been so violent and
abusive of Breckenridge, towards whom the
people Of the South are naturally well dis
posed, that great revulsion of feeling to his
detriment had occurred among those who
were at first disposed to support him. will
mention an example: The editor of the
Raleigh Standard, the leading Democratic
paper of North Carolina was delegate to
the Democratic National Convention. He
was kindly disposed towards Douglas, and
opened his columns to articles in his behalf
Since the visit of Mr. Douglas to North Car
olina, and his open afiliation with the Bell
men, and his wholesale abuse of Brecken-
ridge the editor of the Standard announces
that he shall hereafter treat Mr. Douglas and
his friends as enemies of the party, and will
close his columns against them.
His speeches in Virginia have had the same
effect and Ex-Gov. Smith feels now assured
since the palpable evidence of a degrading
coalition between Bell and Douglas, that the
Old Dominion is safe for Breckenridge. The
Bell men, in their loud-mouthed zeal for the
Little Giant have exposed the plot and the
people, who always hate and detest unprinci-
pied coalitions, whose only object is the spOils
have taken the alarm.

Farina's Rope Walk at Night.

The rope used by Farina to cross the chasm
below the Falls at Niagara is considerably
longer than Blondins by the Suspension
Bridge, and is not so taut. 1t is very slack,
and the Falls Gazette says not only settles as
he steps on it, but has lateral motion which
renders it extremely difficult and of course
hazardous to walk on it. Hepreiers it so be-
cause it shows greater skill and daring. Of
a recent night performance by Farini the Ga
zette says:
On the pole he had four handsome paper
lamps and Several Roman Candles. As soon
as the match had been applied to the fire.

and fearless pace. 1t was grand, yet fear

the candles took place, he was completely en-

short distance when one Of the candles ex-

on as though nothing had happened. After

fireworks were exhausted, and he had moth

length of the rope without stopping.
After a while he could be discovered far
out on his return. He had no lights but
that offered by the moon which just then be-
gan to peep over into the gorge of the riv er.
He walked very rapidly and soon reached the
American side, where he was heartily

The piteous appeals of the stump candidate
for the Presidency made no impression on
the hardy and honest Green Mountain Boys
except to increase their disgust at the "au-
dacious demagogue" and his prO-slavery
principles. The result of his visit and
speeches has been the rolling up of a larger
Republican majority than ever at State
election, the partial returns indicating that
the popular SAKE, the especial pet of Doug
las, is defeated for Governor by a round 20,
900 majority, and that the Republicans have
increased their majority in the Legislature,
which has been nearly one-sided for years.
So much for the wall of Douglas for his
mother in Vermont, and his good word fol-
himself and SAKE.
The vote of Vermont for Governor last
year stood: Hall, 81, ,367; SAKE, 1890
Republican majority 16,s6s. Even the

The Liverpool Times of August 18th says
that "war is inevitable. There will be no
permanent peace in Europe until we have
had another great continental strife of arms.
Events now approach so rapidly to a climax,
that we may awake any morning to read the
news of struggle which may involve all the
Great Powers before its termination"
The Paris correspondent of the Boston
Traveller sends the following interesting state
ment in regard to parties in Italy at the
present time. 1t viii be new to many read
ers:
"Letters from Italy state that there are
two parties forming there and becoming daily
more visible. One, Mons. de Cavour's party,
the other Mons. Guerrazzi's party Mons
de CavOur's party hold land they strive by
the press and conversation to diffuse it every
where in Italy, that the French alliance is
the sheet anchor of Italy, the French alliance,
with Sardinia devoted to Louis Napoleon and
every Italian determined to follow blindly
and implicitly Louis Napoleon wherever he
may lead them. They say that the coming
struggles are to Pc struggles Of races,
tft4t ttc Auttt races ana tHe k1Hgt0- UeT.
manic races are to enter into a strife, and
appeal to the God Of Battles to decide
IOhieh shall be master, and that Italians must
make up their minds and be determined to
see the flag of Savoy floating by the side of
the French eagles in the plains of Venetia
and on the banks of the Rhine. Mons. Gu
errazzi's party holds that Italy has nothing
to gain and everything to lose by becoming
the blind ally of France, because in the event
of the policy of Louis Napoleon meeting a
check Italy would feel the reaction, and the
consequences would be more terrible for
Italy than for France itself, whereas were
Louis Napoleon successful in all his schemes,
Italy would become the mere Yassal of France.
1t is said the interview which is to take place
between Louis Napoleon and VittOre En-
manuele in the course Of the next fifteen or
twenty days, will force the King to make his
election between these different systems Of
policy-that the King is in favor of the first
and that we shall see this winter a closer al
lance between France and Sardinia, and next
summer another, perhaps a general, war in
Europe. The people of Italy, from hostility
to tyranny and to Louis Napoleon's system
attic mendacity, from resentment at the loss
of Nice and Savoy, and from increasing aver
sion to Mons. de CavOur are opposed to this,
