The KING OF SIAM.-A telegraphic
despatch, few days ago, announced
the death of Chao Pha Mongkout,
the first or principal King of Siam.
He was born in that country, about
the year 1906, and succeeded his
father, Phen Din Klang, in 1926.
Shortly afterward, through court
intrigue, he was superseded by his
half-brother, the son of one of the
Kings mistresses, and voluntarily re-
tired to private life. During this
period he became Bhuddist monk,
devoting himself to the study of Ian.
guages, both living and dead, in
which he made such extraordinary
progress as to attract the attention Of
European savans, and was elected q
Fellow of the Asiatic Society of
Great Britain. Other sciences also
attracted his attention, and he soon
became highly renowned in his own
country for his vast learning and vir-
tuous life. The death of the soye-
reign in April, 1851, created a vacan-
cy On the throne which he was called
upon by the unanimous voice of his
countrymen to fill, and he again es-
sayed the Offices of state, with the
title of Prabat Somdet Pra Paramen-
thon Maba Mongkout, (King SUI
preme, august and most sacred. J
Bringing activity to bear his fund Of
acquired knowledge, he introduced
reforms among his people, which
impelled them forward rapidly in the
march Of improvement and prospe
rity, raising the, until then, despised
power, to one of material conse-
quence in the fraternity of nations,
and greatly enhancing the value of
its productive capacities. Extreme
liberality characterized all his views.
During his reign roads and canals
were constructed to facilitate COM
merce; habits of industry inculcated
in his people, and advantageous trea-
ties effected with Europe and Ameri-
ca. The press was also established,
and the utmost freedom Of conscience
and worship made the integral law of
the Empire. What Peter the Great
was to Russia, this enlightened Asiat-
ic monarch has been to Siam, which
country has enjoyed almost unbroken
peace and prosperity throughout his
successful reign.

personal friends, rides out with the
noblest specimens of horse-hesh in
the world, and quietly and signifi-
cantly remarks to some who approach
him on political topics, "When
others have ceased talking it will be
time for me to begin to act" Tt is
clear, therefore, that the signs of
trouble which begin to show them
selves among the Republican leaders
and organs do not disturb the equa-
nimity of Gen. Grant in the least,
but that, having made up his mind to
go into the Presidential Office with n
determination to reform abuses, re-
.Lce expenditures, and place capable,
honest and trustworthy men in office,
he will do SO at the hazard of the
opinions of all political hacks who
may think they have him securely in
their greedy clutches. Trouble is
beginning in the Republican camp.

PUNISHMENT OF THIEVES IN DELLA
wARE.-A practical exemplification of
the manner in which justice is admi-
nistered in the Diamond State" has
Just been brought to light. For some
time past, passengers who travel over
the Philadelphia, Baltimore and VIII
mington Railroad, and who stop at
Wilmington to get refreshments, have
been greatly annoyed by the opera
tions of thieves, who enter the cars
when the trains stop and quickly
snap up the baggage of passengers
who temporarily leave the cars. One
of this gang was recently caught in
the act of stealing valise from car,
and he was arrested and tried for the
offence. He was found guilty and
sentenced as follows: "He is to re-
ceive forty lashes on the bare hack,
at the New Castle whipping-post, on
Saturday next; made to stand in the
pillory for four hours, undergo an
imprisonment of one year, and make
full restitution of the amount of value
of the articles stolen, or rcmain in
prison until he has done so.''

THE cAMPAIGN IN THE EAST.

The campaign in New York has
opened with unparalleled enthusiasm
for the Democracy, every day adding
scores to our numbers. At meeting
of the Metropolitan Club, held on the
evening of the llth ult., Mr.. Singer
land stated that he had received a
large number of communications from
clubs either organized or organizing
in that State and in other parts of the
country, all of which gave very en-
couraging accounts of the progress of
the campaign. At Amsterdam, New
York, a correspondent said the result
of the election there was going to be
such as would astonish the Abolition
party. There was Democratic Club
there with fully fivehundred members,
and the Vice-President was gentle.

give Seymour and Blair 10000, and
they can get no one to take their bets.
By-the-way, while other States are or
ganizing and drilling for the fray,
would it not be well for the gallant
Democracy of our own State to spur
up little? Of course we have got
the State certain for the Democratic
candidates by at least 500, but why
not 60 to work and increase the ma.
jority to 1000? This can be done by
an effective organization of the Dem.
ocratic forces. The opposition do not
intend to make much of fight, be-
cause they know that their "cake il

but that is no good reason why we
should not labor for the cause of the

clergy Of the city be invited to open the
proceedings of that body, daily, with
prayer. 1t was finally carried, but not
without bitter opposition from members
of both parties. 1t is but justice to say,
however, that this opposition was not gen.
orally based upon dislike or antipathy
to religion, or religious observances; but
upon the alledged meanness, immortality
and hypocrisy of many Of the clergy

cording to the figures of the New
York World, which are remarkable
for their accuracy, change of SO, 900
votes in 1854 would have elected Gen.
Mcclellan President. This change
was required in the States of Connec-
ticut, Indiana, Maryland, New York,
Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon,
Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, or an
average of four thousand votes in a
State. Since that time the States of
Connecticut, Maryland, Oregon, Penn

Democratic; and Indiana and Nevada
will be at the next election. The
Democrats have therefore, the game
