AS tho Dalmatian fisherman sails his

SIR W. T. Wood, the British Vice Chan
celler, has decided that the Confederate
States constituted a government de facto, and
that the United States, in again extending
its jurisdiction over the country covered by
the Confederate Government, succeeded to
its assets and obligations. On this principle
he declares the United States responsible for
the Confederate bonds. He will find some
difficulty in convincing the American people
of the'tru,hfulne, of his conclusions.

The AMENDE HoNoRABLE;-The
Jockey Club (says Galignanes Mes
Senger) has just lost one OF it's most
amiable MEMBERS NJ. Alexandra
Bouchet. The following anecdote is
related of him Perceiving one day,
after heavy fall of rain, a very we'll
dressed young woman standing ut the
edge of the side pavement of the
Boulevard, and evidently much pcr-
picked as 10 the best method of trav.
ersing the sea of mud before her, he
gallantly advanced, took her up in
his arms, andscarried her across dry
shod. The lady made no objection
to the mode of transit, but, on beiag
set down expressed her gratitude as
follows: :" Sir, your are an insolent fell
lowl" Thereupon, M. Bouchet i'm.
mediately repaired the wrong by
again transporting her, with the same
precautions, to the very spot where
ne had first met her, and took his
leave with profound salutation.

IL proposes to adjust the rates to the
speed Of the train.

two cents per mile; 8. Express trains,

ed when the train fails to make con.
nection, and where it is thirty min
utes behind, but makes connection
half the fare to be returned so rs to
make it common fare. In seasons oI

The New Democratic Programme
We hear that the leaders of the De
mocratic party of Ohio, have, within
a very few days, had lcngthcneG
night ession---pcrhapsreaching into
the morning r ut Cincinnati. AIR
Pendleton was at this caucns---so, We
besr--and so was yullandighnm. :
The latter gentleman was the con-
trolling spirit, and he evidently came
70 the consultation will, the pro
gfamme, well digcsted which he pre-
sented, in a speech 10 the conclave.
The spirit and burden OF his ad
dress was to this effect. There are
slave states which, with slavery or
without slayery,are firmly planted on
the doctrine of State Rights. That
issue has not been settled by this war,
81 is yet TO be fought for and on that
line the Democracy must rally and
must fight. Vallandiglam counseled
extreme tendernss on the part of the
Democracy towards Dir. johnson, and
cited his proclamation re. organizing
North Corolina, under military
Governor, leaving the question of
negro suffrage to tho voters Of that
State, as a step in the right direction
upon the doctrine which is proposed
to be the basis Of the party. Val.
landigham said that Democrats must
give all possible countenance and
sympathy to Mr.. johnson, fcC it was
probable, SO doing the President
would prove as radical upon State
rights as they could wish.
Vallapdjgham also advised that the
war upon Stanton be as bitter and
persistent ns possible, to the widening
Of the breach between Gen. Sherman
and the Secretary of War, for, ms ap-
pearance now indicated, Gen. Sher.
man would be the available Demo.
cratic candi ate in the next Presiden.
Nal canvass. lI al.
The caucus accepted the views of
vallandigham, and endorsed his sen.
timents heartily. So 1t may be con
idered settled as to what is TO be the
future policy Of the Ohio Democracy.
