JEFF. DAVIS IL DEMOCRATIC CAyDI-
DATE. That most widely circulated
of all the Democratic journals, the La
Crosse Democrat, says that the Demoe-
racy wants a candidate for the Presi-
dency who has nerve, pluck and military
spirit enough to march directly to WASH
ington and take possession, should he
get a majority Of the white votes Of the
country, including all the rebels Of the
South. Who can be the " right man in
the right place" in such an emergency
but JEFF. Davis, whom the S~entinel-oH-
the Border, published at Louisville, NOM
mates as the next Democratic candidate?
The loyal ranks can present the Democ-
racy no such timber rs is required,
and hence the party should select from
the late rebel Generals their leader.
JEFF. Davis was Commander-in-C Chief Of
the Southern C~onfederacy, has the
requisite military education, and of his
spirit there a be no doubt. We do
not suppose that the suggestion Of the
La Crosse Democrat will be adopted,
but the immense circulation of that
journal shows the extent to which its
spirit prevails in the party.

A WAR between England and Mexico
is said to be in prospect. A Washing
ton correspondent states that private
advices from London have been received
in that city, stating that the intelligence
from Mexico, that the Government has
determined to repudiate all debts Of for
eign countries except the United States,
has given rise to an intense feeling Of
indignation in the English Government.
The reason assigned by Mexico for the
adoption Of such a course is a revenge
upon the nations of Europe for the re-
cognition Of MAMMALIAN. England,
however, not having followed the rest
of Europe in this hasty proceeding, is
consequently doubly affected by the
new Mexican policy. The English Gov
eminent, it is said, is seriously contcm-
plating the fitting out Of a feet to take
possession Of the ports Of Mexico, and
hold them until satisfaction is given.
We give this intelligence as part of the
current news Of the day, without vouch-
ing for it.

Attempted Suicide In McKecsport, Pa


From tho PittsburS Evening Chronicle, Feb. III
Yesterday the usually quiet borough
Of McKeesport was thrown iuto an in
tense excitement, by the umo that
John Merritt, a young man well known
in the community, and bearing nm cx-
cellent character, had committed suicide
by taking laudanum. Upon inquiry it
was asccrtained that the young man had
actually taken laudnnum, but that
prompt means had been taken for his
relief, and that his recovery was proba-
BILE. The circumstances which led to
tho rash act, appear to be as follows {:
Mr.. Merritt is about % years Of age,
and originally came from the East.
Shortly after his arrival in McKees-
port he made the acquaintance of II
young lady, and the usual course of ac-
guardianship developing into init
macy, intimacy ripening into love, and
love resulting in II proposal Of marriage,
was pursued. The young lady favored
these advances, and when the proposal
was made that the twain should be-
come one," she, as is asserted, accepted,
and thus made her admirer happy. This
happy state of affairs continued for SOM
time, but, rs the sequel proved, the
lovers were to realize that the "course
Of true love is not always n smooth
one. The consent Of the parents of the
young lady to the marriage was ncces-
sary, and to obtain this, tho young man
sought an interview. Contrary to his
expectations, he met with decided oppo-
sition from the maternal parent, and n
persistent entreaty resulted in nm en-
phatic refusal, and q prohibition from
visiting the house. The blow was a
severe ono, and had a most depressing
eject upon his mind.
Yesterday morning the eliminating
point was reached. He had laborei to
overcome whatever the objections to
him might be, but his efforts were in
vain. He attended church according to
his usual custom, and seated himself in
his accustomed place, aud c%ndeavorcd
to forget his troubles by engaging in the
services Of the hour. Shortly after
ward the young lady made her appear
ance and the remembrance of his troub-
les SceIuS 10 uuNC OVER uClIlSu ulul NJ
that instant. He arose from his scat,
Immediately left the church, and was
observed walking hurriedly towards his
clearinghouse. On his way thither he
stepped into q drug store, procured IN
ounce and q half Of laudanum, and
thus provided, proceeded home. On
arriving at the house he babe tho men,
bers of the family farewell, and in
answer to inquiries as to his intentions,
produced the vial containing the lauda-
mum and drank almost the entire con
before he could be prevented. The
young man was conveyed to his room,
and when the physician arrived the
proper remedies were properly applied.
The physician labored a~ssiduously with
his patient until about G o'clock last
evening, and at that time no a%pprehen-
sions of a fatal result were entertained.

IRISH REFORM.

The announcement in the British Par
lament that q bill has been prepared,
proposing reforms in Ireland, will at
tract great interest to that subject
throughout the world. The statement
of Earl Mayo, Chief Secretary for Ire
land, may be considered as q confession
upon the part of the English Govern
pent that it is absolutely necessary to
do something to quiet Fcnian agitations,
beyond a continuance Of the ordinary
policy ofrepression by forciblc measures,
and of ruling Ireland by the i%ron.hand.
Great anxiety will be felt to know the
particulars Of the measures proposed by
this bill. The government has the power
to suggest such measures rs will en-
tirely remove the Fenian complaints,
and restore Ireland to tranquility but
that result can only be secured by an
entire change Of the system which has
hitherto been popular In regard to Ire
land-a system harsh, dishonest and I'M
just. To give full satisfaction, the pol
icy which compels the Irish people to
support q church to which ninc-tcnths
of them are hostile: ought to be aban-
doncd. Such other measures of ameli-
grafton should be determined upon as
would insure equal rights to all. How
far from complete obedience to these de-
mands tho government bill will come,
will be known only when it is presented,
which will be on the 10th Of March. It
can scarcely be expected TINT the pro-
posed remedy will reach the seat Of the
disease, which malady is not to be
treated with mild medicines. A debate
which sprung up after the notice of the
new bill was given, in relation to the
suspension of the habeas corpus in Ire
land, revealed the great dissatisfaction
against that measure. The member
from Waterford denounced it rs an out
rage upon the Roman Catholics, already
deprived Of any share in the government
by existing laws.

The La Crosse Democrat, now by far
tthe most popular Democratic paper in
the West, is getting warmed up to its
work. 1t not only r~ojoices over the as
sassination of President Lincoln, but
declares that the same fate awaits the
next Republican President. This is the
kind of opposition that we are to en-
counter during the coming campaign.
We are to deal with Copperheads whose
malignity far exceeds that Of the men
who boldly took up arms to destroy the
Union. We hope that decent and con-
scientious Democrats will realize the
a,rocity which is the public boast of
some Of their political associates. The
occasion OF the Democratic outburst of
treason is the proposition to build a
wigwam for the approaching Republican
Convention at Chicago. This is its
remedy for the nomination and election
OF q Republican candidate
"By all means, say we, build a wigwam.

ABoLIsHING THE PRESIDENT. = The
Germans who sent q petition to Con-
gress recently, praying that tho Office of
President of the United States should
be abolished, because it is ga copy of
royalty, and dangerous to the Repub-
lic," look at the question only In an
ultra republican view. It might DO re-
torted that a Government not created
with q President, or executive officer Of
somo kind, would DO in danger of an
archy. 1t would be an oligarchy, and,
if not q copy of royalty, would be quito
as dangerous and injurious to the inter-
ests of the people. Possibly it will be
difficult to suggest any better form of
government than we have in the United
States. The President is, when he acts
in accordance with the Constitution, q
very necessary and useful officer. He
executes the will Of the community, and
where tho people make the laws, through
Congress, it is the duty of the Presi-
dent to give them force and effect. He
is quite as necessary in his way rs any
subordinate officer, and all that can DO
asked Of him is that he does nothing
more than his duty, and then there will
be no cause of complaint.

We clip the following from the Chey-

euue Argus of February 2lst:
The delegate from Utah, VIM. H.
Hooper, and E. D. Holbrook, delegate
from Idaho, amused themselves on
Wednesday in one Of the Hobbies of the
Senate by a little pugilistic exercise,
which, fortunately for the interests OF
their constituents, resulted in no bodily
harm to either. The dispute arose
out Of the appointment Of nj Gibbs as
the Governor Of Idaho, which has not
yet been confirmed by the Senate. Hol-
brook, as tho champion of Gibbs,
charged that Hooper had opposed his
confirmation, and saying that be wanted
no more oft. Hooperdenied the impeach-
ment, when Holbrook politely told him
that he did not believe him. Then
Hooper took exceptions to the charge so
emphatically as to shake his fist in Hell
brooks face. Holbrook objected to
Hooper's method Of enforcing his argu-
ment, and, becoming very wroth, imme-
knocked down the gentleman
from Utah. By this time a large crowd
had collected, and the combatants were
separated. Holbrook appears to be of
a very quarrelsome disposition. He
was in u Gaming encounter last Winter.
