Charles O'COnor Declines the Bourbon
Nomination.

Mr.. O'Conor has written letter, in
which he positively declines the nomi-
nation for the Presidency tepdered him
by the Louisville Convention. He
says:
Whatever l might do in respect to
any other office, | could neither accept
nomination or become candidate for
the successorship to Washington. Like
many others which my taste and judy
ment have concurred in adopting, |
know that these ideas are unfashion-
able. Every voice that has reached my
ear concurs in asserting as Gospel truth
that the Electors cannot vote for any
one but the nominee of a convention
who has accepted its nomination. So
be 1t. | do not pretend to subvert
established usages, but self-respect and
modesty unite in forbdding me to play,
in these days of political degeneracy,
the part of chief postulant in any such
drama. Some censure will no doubt
attach to this opinion itself, and still
more to the utterance of it. l have
long withheld it, and, if possible, L
would now avoid expressing it. Many
a man, the latchet Of whose shoes | am
not worthy to unloose, has subscribed
to a platform and stood as q candidate.
Perhaps, however, it was in times less
corrupt. do not suggest or believe
that any of them did anything which,
in their day and under attendant cir
cumstances, was unbecoming. | know
also that you, my fellow citizens, and
your high y-respected convention, has
prescribed 10 me no tests, but in con-
formity with usages not now to be
parted from, you request me to accept
nomination and become candidate.

Marshal BaZaine.

A private letter from a prominent
French military officer 10 friend in
New York city, intimates strongly that
Bszaine is very likly to be condemned
to death, for infidelity to duty, by the
court marshal which is now trying him.
The idea Of executing a man like
Bazaine, who has distinguished himself
by as fine a military record as any man
now living in France, is q repugnant
one. His surrender of Metz May posi-.
bly, have been injudicious. Gen. Sher-
man, who has been studying the situa
ton, says that in the first place he
should never have permitted himself to
be shut up there. But Bazaine's pa
triotism, however weak his Judgment
may have been, requires the strongest
kind OF evidence to impugn. He is 81
years of age, and has been an officer in
the French army for over forty years
When only % years old he received the
Cross of the Legion Of Honor on the
field of battle. He has been engaged
in all the French wars during his time,
and advanced steadily in rank and rep.
utation. He distinguished himself es-
pecially in the Mexican expedition,
which had such a tragic termination,
and In consequence was made Marshal
of France. We know not what evil
dence has been brought against him,
but should he be sentenced to death a
general feeling of regret will prevail
everywhere. France has spilled enough
blood already.

The English Ballot Law.

1t is a curious coincidence that in the
first election under the new Ballot Law
in England, the principal candidate was
Mr.. Childers, one of the Oldest advocates
of the ballot in public life. He was
obliged to give up the Portfolio OF The
Admiralty because of illness. Having
recently received the appointment of
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster,
yice Lord Dufferin, according to custom,
he was compelled to take his seat in
Parliament in order TO hold his new
Office. The contest was that for the old
borough of Pontefract, at which Mr.
Childers was elected over local mag
nate, Viscount Pollington, by fair ma
iority. In England the elector is pre-
sented with two ballots, with the names
of the candidates upon them, and COM

his face to the wall, and mark that one
which he proposes TO vote.

A Tale of Horror.

A tale Of Incredible horror comes to
us from Illinois. 1t is well for the jour
nalistic mind that it is not often called
upon TO describe an event of such inky
and unmitigated gloom. The time was

pride and tenderness, the bride all bon
net and bushes. As the slow train
moved from the station, the fair young

Steam In Canals.

The company that proposes to build a
ship canal across the lsthmus of Tehu-
antepec has collected and published
some valuable information in regard to
the use of steam in canals. The great
objection to it has been the rapid wear.
ing away of the banks caused by the
great agitation of the water by paddle
or screw. The only method of meeting
this difficulty is to face the banks with
stone. The great Caledonian Canal, of
Scotland, the largest in the world ex-
cept that of the Isthmus Of Suez, is thus
faced. Steamers drawing II feet ply
through it, at the rate of from to II
miles an hour, without inuring it. The
expense of dredging is greatly decreased
by this substitution of stone for sand.
If the Erie Canal is enlarged to a width
of 20 feet at the top, and So at the bot.
tom, as has been proposed, and is lined
with stone the cost OF which would not
be over $1,000 mile), large steamers
can pass through it. Such consum.
nation would do much to relieve the
West from the present excessive rates
of freight.

A letter from Dover to the London
Times gives the following account OF the
attempt of j. b. johnson to swim across
the British Channel:
Many thought il was hoax, and old
salts considered it maddess to attempt
IL, because it was impossible to get
across, owing TO the swiftness Of the
currents that run mid-channel, and the
distance ne would have to swim before
he could hope to accomplish his object.
johnson, with his breast adorned with
some twenty or thirty decorations,
walked to the pier. The steamer Pal.
merston, with members of the press,
steamed a few feet away. At l0:40 Mr..
johnson appeared on the deck, attired
in bathing costume, and, having AS.
cended the paddle box, he, amid the
ringing cheers of the crowd, dived into
the water III splendid style. At theste
of the steamer a small boat containing
Mr.. Johnson's brother and Mr.. Callared,
was towed along, SO that, in case of
necessity, help was Immediately at
hand. Striking out TO sea, the swim
mer soon made headway, taking some
most powerful strokes, which appeared
TO send him at least distance of six
feet each time. johnson kept on swim
ming in splendid form, and accom-
plIshed two miles in twenty minutes.
He kept his pace, ana at ll:20 took his
first refreshments. At ll:3O he again
partook of stimulants. The tide had
now taken him nearly off Folkestone,
and he then put on such squirt that
he overhauled the steamer, which was
some distance ahead Of him. On reach
ing her, he remarked that he shonld
like something 10 eat, and, though he
was neither exhausted nor tired, the
surgeon saw that his circulation was
failing, and advised him to come out.
This was at ll:45 a. N. Taking his adj
vice, he got into the steamer, having
swan over seven miles in an hour and
five minutes. He did not appear the
least tired, but his legs were benumbed.
When he got all right he had the pluck
and desire to continue the feat, but, the
water being very rough, it was con-
sidered a physical impossibility to con-
tiLue. He then went below, and the
Paimerston steamed direct for Calais,
arriving at p. Ia. just before going into
the harbor Johnson appeared on deck
again, and, with his brother, jumped
into the water and performed various
aquatic tricks.

ENGLISH financial authorities report
that the recent failure of Gladstone 81
Co. and other houses in London and
Liverpool have had the effect of de-
pressing consols and causing general
feeling of insecurity. The failures are
directly attributed to attempts to cor

grain, as was done in Chicago by Ger.
tain grain firms, and in New York by
the gold brokers. If so, the revulsion
is of sporadic, not general, character.
