Death Of Stephen A. Douglas

The papers bring US the intelligence
Of the death of the Hon. Stephen A
Douglas, United States Senator from ILL.,
nois. From the reports received for the
week past of his condition, the public was
not unprepared FIR the announcement OF
his demise. He died at Chicago yester-
day morning.
Judge Douglas was born at Brandon,
Rutland county, Vermont, April %,
1873. He lost his father while an infant,
and his mother being left in destitute cir
cumstances, he entered cabinet-shop al
Middlcbury. in his native State, for the
purpose of learning the trade. After re-
naming there for several months, he re-
turned to Brandon, where he continued
for year at the same calling, but his
health obliged him to abandon it, and he
became student in the academy. Hi.
mother having married second time, he
followed her to Canandaigua, in the State
of New York. Here he pursued the study
Of the law until his removal to Cleveland
Ohio, in 1881. From Cleveland he wen,
still father west, and finally settled il
jacksonville, Illinois. He was at frs
employed as clerk to an auc.ioneer, and
afterwards kept school. dcvoting all the
time he could spare to the study of the
law. In 1884 he was admitted to thu
bar. soon obtained lucrative practice
and was elected Attorney General of The
State. In 1887 he was appointed BY
President Van Buren,, Register of tht
Land Office. at Springfield. Illinois. H.
afterwards practised his profession, aud
in 1910. was elected Secretary of State
and the following year Judge of the Su.
prene Court. This Office he resigned
after sitting upon the bench for two years
in consequence Of i'll health. In 1913
he was elected to Congress, and continued
member Of the Lower House for four
years. In December, 1S47, he was
elected to the United States Senate. He wa.
Gas he had been for several sessions du.

Congress, Chairman of the Committee on
Territories, At the expiration of his term,
in 1858, he was again elected to the SEN

now President of the United States. His
nomination as q candidate for the Presi.
dency by one Of the wings Of the Demo

in the memory. His remains will b.

MORE NOTES ON BALTIMORE.

The correspondent Of the New York
Tribasc continues his revelations respect
ing the prevalence Of Secession sentiments
in this city, and his suggestions rs to
the proper method Of dealing with the
TRAITORS" particularly those in official or
high social position:
A great deal Of apprehension is felt by
loyal people. lest the Government may re-
move any Of the regiments now stationed
here, under the dclusivc idea that all is
safe. If such notion has got into the
heads of the officials, just let thcm lessen
our garrison, and they will wake up too
late to their error ''BaIt;moe," said a
distinguished Federal officer, the other
day, us sleeping vpo" q thin crust right
orer he'll" lie il right. Some fear is
felt, too, that General Cadwalader is to
be replaced by General Cooper. late Uni
ted States Senator from Pennsylvania, If this
be true. it is impossible to foresee the result
for the public have no confidence in the
latter officers administrative qualities.
But l trust Gen. Scott will suffer no move
,nent to be made which shall put the city
at the mercy Of the rebels, who arc watch
ing for chance to ruin the town, and
wrcak their vengeance on loyal
people. The renewed insolencc of the
traitors on Saturday was discoverable in
hundred incidents upon Baltimore street.

al troops as they would pass along the
street, the noisiness of the half grown
boys, those imps Of darkness put for
ward BY full-grown devils, ard the gener-
al aspect Of things, betokcn some mischief
at hand. The police, as usual, took no
pains to dispense the crowds, though they
were prompt in arrcsting two or three OF
the Federal soldiers who had been in.
dulging too freely. Gen. Cadwalladcr
should see to it that any of his command
appearing intoxicated On the street should
be severely dealt with. Marshal Kane is
boasting ct his intimacy, official and per-
sonal. with the General; and though it is
doubtless not true, it gives no little uneasi-
ness. teraase the Police CSmm;ssios and
their -harshal are the rery ,rora enemie. of
the peace Of the city. Indeed. esery lom.l
i"Adbitant only ,ronders that the Gorcrn-
nsnf permits this Secession authority to e.
ercise its functions one hour in our n.ilst.
Arrests Of number Of bridge-burners
have been made, who confess to their
crimes, but plead the written authority of
the City Government, and yet these officials
are suffered to go at large. and to be pre-
pared for ftang;ny the city into further re-
beaion. Such things are inexplicable to
outsiders. but We hope for better things
when the Federal Court begins its next

rioas actors. high in social life, in the 18th

The hard drumming which was ne

the increasing boldness Of tone exhibited
BY the conservative journals Of the North,
are so many evidences that the people are
beginning to recover from the war fever, and
are examining more calmly and critically the
condition of affairs. Articles are now admit
ted into the Northern journals which a
month ago would have ensured the des-
truction Of their Offices. As sample we
give some communications which We find

There % also reported to have been q

which several were killed and wounded
On both sides. Ii 10 quite certain. how
ever. that there has. ~ yet. been no de.
e;aise battle fought asd. consequently,
no very considerable advantage gained by
either party. Tho news from Europe
clearly indicates that England and
France will speedily recognise the indie
pendence Of the Confederate States. They
have already been recognised as billiger-
ents. and the right to issue letters Of
marquee has been conceded. The ability
Of the Federal Government to maintain
an effective blockade Of the Southern
Ports seems to be Questionable BY many
members Of the British Parliament, bat
until the contrary is made known the
blockade will be respected. Ex-Gov.
Pratt Of this State. was ordered to report
himself to Col. Smith. the co,mmandant Of
tho Federal forces at Annapolis, on Fri
day last. bat after short detention he
vas discharged. It is. also reported hsrc
that Ex-Gov. Lowe has been arrested, but
the report is probably without foundations
Hen. Robert McLane, Of Baltimore, has
declined the nomination. for Congress, Of
the Southern Rights Party in the fourth
Congressional Disteics. It will be seen
by a report in another column Of to-
days issue, that Hon. Stephen A. Doug
las is dead. The order from Gov. Hicks
fer the delivery Of Ill the arms in the
city Of Baltimore, belonging to the State,
has created much excitement there. We
wonder what evidence Of loyalty will be
next given BY his Excellcncy.
