TRENTON, n. j., January 6.-For some

Company have kept an engine on the
track at Hopewell to prevent the Dela-
ware Il Bound Brook Railroad Company

On the approact OF train the engine
would run on the siding, and resuming
its former place when the train had
passed. Last evening, as soon MS the en-:
gine passed on the siding, about 200
laborers in the employ OF the Delaware L.
Bound Brook road suddenly appeared
and tore up the siding and built n tempo
rary structure to enable Them to 60 on
with their work. The Pennsylvania road
being Informed Of this act sent an engine
and broke through this temporary
structure, but in doing so was thrown off
the track and was knocked down the
hill. In the meantime the frog was put
down and a Bound Brook engine placed
on il and ohainedf fdown TO the ties with
immense chains and barricade OF rails
and wood built around it. The excite.
ment has become intense, and 500 people
were on the ground this morning.
Reinforcements for both parties are

The Louisville Courier.Joarnal, which
alone Of the Southern Democratic papers
has the gift OF saying true things for the
sake Of their, truth, has long article on
the political Situation, which will' read
strangely to some Of its Bourbon sub
scribCrs. Cnriously enough the Courier
Journal does not sec a clear field and
walk over for the Democratic candidate
Fho may have the felicity to be nominated
for the Presidency next year. On the
contrary, it sees clouds in the sky and
dangers in the Democratic path, 1t says ::
There is no use denying the fact, for
fact it is, that the Republicans enter the
Centennial yearmith improved prospects.
The loss OF the lower house Of Congress
places them just enough in minority TO
put them on their good behavior, whilst
the possession OF the other departments
Of government leaves them considerably
more thana moiety OF substantial power.
The Republican leaders are progressive
in their tendencies; keen, resolute and In.
formed in their perceptions. They see
quickly, they discern clearly and they
act promptly. More's the pity for the
Democrats, who seem to have fallen into
hopeless way Of dividing upon their
blunders; and Of laundering in their di-
visions; one set OF errors producing an
other set OF follies, and time-about and
vice versa, round and round, an endless
circle OF disaster.

The repentant rebels who came home
from Brazil, the other day, in the United
States trigate swutara, are full Of the
story OF their suferings. They were
literally starving to death in the great
Brazilian forests. Their crops were de.
vOured BY ,myriads of insetcs, and them.
Selves were prcyed on by the greedy land
agents, who stripped many of them Of
every dollar they had in the world. They
were glad'cnough 10 get back, even when
brought on a government vessel, and fed
before and during their voyage on gov
vcrnment rations. Like the Southern
refugees to Mexico, who trooped home
long ago, they "were getting homesick, |"
and wanted to see the old homC place
once more"

CAssIus NJ. CLAY.-This old time Re-
publican, SO old that his RepublicaniSm
antedates the birth. Of tho party, has
placed himself in the hands OF his friends
as Democratic candidate for the Vice
Presidency at the coming National con-
yentiOn Of the party.
The idea Of Cash Clay becoming a
Democratic candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency sounds as odd and unnatural as
Greelcy's Democratic candidacy for the
Presidency. St. Paul did not fight the
wild beasts at Ephesus, that would
iain have torn him in pieces, more des-
pcrately than did Cash Clay the Kentucky
Democrats for half his life time. lie
bears on his body scars from theirhands,
received in the defense OF freedom Of
speech, and that he is alive to-day, to offer
himself as their candidate, is Of the mercy
of Divine Providence and not Of the
Kentucky Bourbons.
Still the old time Republicans in
and around Wheeling will not soon for
yet the fact that the gallant Cash came
here once and rendered them good SER
vice in speech at Washington Hall, at
the time. the directors Of the Hall were
PUZZLED to ascertain, whether there would
be a. mob that night, and whether>it would
lie well to opan the dodfsnnder the cir
cumstances. They did open them how
ever and Cash made his Republican
speech. The crowd at the door way parted
for him rs he entered and parted also for
him rs lie passed out again, not one % all
the bullics present daring to lay finger
on him. They knew the man they had
to deal with and had wholesome dread
Of his reputation.
We opinc that our old friend will
make poor out as Democratic candi-
date for the Vice-Presidency. In the
first place he will not get the nomination.
The Democracy have not forgot the
Greeley campaign, nor lhe'Frank Blair
campaign preceding. They have no
need to bait their hook with even. the
honored name of Clay to carry Ken
lucky. That State is as sure for the
Democracy as Vermont for the Rcpub.
1icans, and nothing could be. surcr. than
that save death and taxes. Therefore
Cassius may rs we'll hang his harp on
the willows as to base his hopes Of pre-
siding over the Senate'on Democratic
nomination. Because the Democracy
toyed and coquetted with Chase, Greeley
and Blair, it does not follow that they
will try the same thing on for all time
to come. The indications are that they
got such heart-scald the last time that
they will go 70 the other extreme this
year and probably take up a couple OF
rank Bourbons.
