Who is Leopold of Hohenzollern I?

Hohenzollern Hechingen and Hohcn-
zollern Sigmaripgen were formerly
two small sovereign principalities in
Germany. BY treaty Of the seventh
of December, 1849, the reigning prin-
ces of Hohenzollern ccded all sovereign
rights over their respective principal
tiles, whi ch were Baden and Wurtem-
burg, to the king of Prussia, the chief
Of the Hohenzolern family. Prince
Anton, of Hohenzollern Sigmarigen,
the father of Prince Leopold. the pres
ent candidate for the Spanish throne,
received the title of highness by roy
al decree, with the prerogatives Of tho
younger princes of the royal house of
the Hohenzollern. Prince Leopold is
the eldest son of PRINCE Anton and Of
a Princess Josephine, of Baden, his
wife. He was born in 1S45, and was
married in 1851 to Princess Antonia,
the sister of the present king of Por-
tugal. He holds the rank Of major
in the first regiment of royal guards
at Berlin, and is said to be a very ins
teligent, modest and good looking
man. His younger brother Charles is
the reignirg prince of Roumania, Tho
Hohenzollern, to ch Prince Leo-
pold belongs, is side branch of the
reigping family Of Prussia, with no
right of succession to the crown.
They are moreover Catholic, and al.
Ii ed mostly by their wives to catholic
princely families. They nevertheless
recognize the King Of Prussia as the
head of the whole family of Hohens
zollern, and they would neither marry
nor accept a position such as the one
offered to Prince Leopold, without the
advice and express permission of their
king.

Every Democrat: every Conserva-
tive, all persons opposed to Radicalism
should cast their votes for the nominees
Of the Democratic party. This is a
duty they owe to their faith and to
their count9. 1t is eviden1 that few
moro years Of Radical rule will prove
disastrous to every section and every
interest. Our only hope now is that
the Democratic party will come into
power. We are told by the Dem ocatic
Congressman, in their address to The
American people, that if we are true to
ourselves anu the Democratic party we
will have a mojority in the lower
House of the next Congress, and in
two years more will control the Senate.
Is not such @ consummation worth q
struggle? Is thero any sacrifice that
we should not make to attain such a
desirable end?
The people of the North. East, and
West are rallying to the Democratic
standard. New York has rolled up
81 900 as Democratic majority and
sho expects the Kentucky Democracy
to show no sign of faltering now
If any bolter, independent, or Radical,
flashed over the wires on Monday night
Of August the 1st to all of the Radical
strongholds that they had gained VIC
tory-that the nominees Of the Demo-
cratic party had been defeated. a
bolter or independent now is worse
than Radical. Let the people be-
ware of them, and shun them as they
would Courier Journal.

THE WAR AND CoTToN.-Thc

THE WAR AND CoTToN.-The St.
Louis Democrat has an article on the
question "Will the war cause cotton TO
decline p and says:
Now, as far as regards the status of
cotton during the war, we reason that
the demand for fabrics will he fully as
great throughout the civilized world
as if the world enjoyed peace, and our
own experience has shown that war
times are periods of great waste, and
we presume the same improvidence
will attend the operations Of tho con-
tending armies of Europe. We ex-
pect, therefore, an augmented demand
and an increase in the price of cotton
rather than closing of factories and
a serious decline, as many seem to fear.
This country will be q neutral, and
will run every loom, lathe, forge aud
capacity, if the war is Of even six
months duration, and the prospects
are that it will be of much greater
length. Should all Of Germany Russia.
Austria, Italy, Denmark and France
men would be engaged iE des-
| trOying iaOrlcs as well as lives, very
| rapidly. These fabric smust be re-
placed promptly. Soldering is des-
tructive to clothes, as all soldiers
know, and the raiment thus worn out
must be manufactured somewhere.
England will do a large part of this
manufacturing, and will demand in
creased quantities Of cotton to do il
with. We shall also do a large share
of it, and our home consumption will
be much larger than it has been sine
the war. In short, we canuot see any
reason for supposing that cotton wit
decline, while other products will ad'
vance.

A Tennessee correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial says: "lt is not
absolutely certain that the Democrats
will carry every district in the State;
but, with the exception Of Maynard's
district. where the chances are about
equal, it is highly probable that they
will. The Republicans have no posi-
BILE chance except in the three East Ten
nessee districts, and not much in them
These districts are the First, Second
and Third now represented by Butler
Maynard, and Stokes. Stokes will, in
all reliability, be the Republican eau
didate in the Third District, and, to il
lustrate his brilliant chances of fsuccess
it is only necessary to refer TO the fact
that at the Gubernatorial contest last
year, Senter beat him, in the thirteen
counties composing this district, over
5000 votes"

that Secretary Fish has instructed

to Prussians in France for reason tina
many of our natpralized citizens come
from Prussia, and that the Prussia
Government has no representative ir

had an interview with the President
last evening. All agree in the belief
that their will be general European
war, and Boutwell, is of the opinion
that it will soon be precipitated. The
President is known to be averse to
calling Congress together, bot said las
evning that it looked quite probable
that contingencies might soon arise
necessitating him to do SO.
Arrangements have been made by
which our ministers at Paris and Ber-

the rate from 5 to 81 per cent. The
result Of this will be to relieve moro

tax and to reduce the charge upon the
others. In 1860 the whole number Of
persons paying the tax was Oil Sal;
of these, 107 900 paid tax on taxable

of none of these exceeded $40, and per.

THE NIGHT LAMP.-There are many
families who use night lamps, and through
inability to provide gas, have been in the
habit cf burning kerosene oil, a very good
thing when properly used. A few words
on the subject of its use at night may prove
interesting, to the general reader. When
the light of the kerosene lamp is turned
down low, the combustion is not perfect,
and the atmosphere of the room becomes
vitiated by the unconsumed oil vapors. by
the gas produced by combustion, and also
by the small particles of smoke and SCOT
thrown of, to be taken into the lungs Of
the occupants. Air thus poisoned is dead
ly in its effects, and the wonder is that the
people are not Immediately and fatally in
jured by breathing it. Its consequences
are the unaccountable and mysterious head
aches, irritation of the throat and lungs,
dizziness and nausea
