EUROPEAN TRAvEL.-The American
Register, Paris, states that there are
more travellers from the United States
in that city at present than ut any time
since the termination Of the German
war. We may aud, that the Indications
here are that large additions will soon
be made to them. Within the week or
two past, the passenger lists Of nearly
all the ocean steamships have been
gradually increasing, anb this, no boubt,
will continue till far into the summer

they are always most welcome.

The National Committee.
The Montpelier, VI. Patriot saws

The Montpelier, Vt. Patriot says -
"The Democratic National Committee
holds office for four years, and consists Of
aae msmber from each State. It is com.
posed of men who are supposed to be most
saeacious, and who are most trusted in their
ssssxal States by the Democratic party;
and this committee so composed is the only
autlsorativs body within the scope of their
duties IN the United States. 0fthis Com.
mittse August Belmont, Of New York, is
Chairman. He is an arbitrary little man,
OF corrupt tendencies, who cares nothing
TOR his responsibility to the people whom
ne represents, and who supposes that the
Democratic party is kept on foot for the
benefit Of himself and friends.
We think ii would be well to reor-
ganize this body, altogether, and es.
pecially to elect . new chairman. Mr..
Belmont has forfeited the confidence of
the party, and his continuance in the
position he has heretofore held, will be
source Of continual dissatisfaction.
We Eould like to see 10 Mr.. Belmout's
position, the Hon. THOMAS r. BAYARD,
Of Delaware. Nr. Bayard is not only a
man Of eminent ability, but of great
weight of character, Who would reflect
honor upon the position, and command
fhs coafdsscs of the entire party. To
bis brief Senatorial career, he has al
ready established a national reputation,
and endeared himselft9 the Democratic
party 10 all parts of the country. In
compliment to bis great personal worth,
his distinguished talents and public
services, let him be made Chairman Of
hc National Democratic Committee in
'lacs Of the presont incumbent.

THE OLD SToRY.-The Hail claims
for Hagerstown six thousand popua.
ton, and says little advance has been
made ia the town for the last twenty
years. Skilled mechanics are standing
about the streets with their hands in
their pockets, and all because the CAPT
talists of the place prefer to keep their
money locked up ia safes and bonds, to
investing il 10 productive enterprises.
This is the old story, aud it is true Of
many other places besides Hagerstowu.
Cooperative associations Of mechanics
may overcome the evil to some extent,
but as general thing, they are slow to
enter iuto them. Where capitol is
wanting it is about the only practicable
way for mechanics to succeed. BY put
ting their small means and energies
together they may be able thus to build
up profitable business.
