what is coming next.
WITH Senator Cameron in Europe and
Mitchell in Dakota, the clans who gather
at the Republican state convention at
Harrisburg to morrow will look around
for some indication of the fine Roman
hand of the Donegal statesman, and some
OF them, at least, will breathe freer if it is
not discovered.
Down in Memphis, Tennessee, another
duel was fought yesterday between two
newspaper men, but it was quite an i'm
promptu affair. The editor of the Mem
phis World was suddenly attacked by a
correspondent, and firing began promptly
on both sides. The casualty was one man
wounded. These gentlemen proceeded in
the wrong way. They should have her
aided the affair in all the newspapers in
tho land. Such action gives eclat to the
duels of the present DAY.
THE number of yellow fever stricken
vessels that are quarantined near Southern
ports is SO significantly large that much
apprehension is felt for repetition of the
ravages of the plague in the South. The
country has not forgotten when SO short a
time ago some of the Southern cities were
overrun with the disease, and it is to be
ferventIy hoped that strict sanitary ar
rangements will enable the authorities if

They were charged with being implicated
in a murder conspiracy which had for its

Irish cause.
The Count DeChambocd still lives,
Plon Plon's manifesto remains unissued
and the fighting Paul de Cassagnac of the
Pays is no farther towards royalty than
before. Certainly this state of affairs is not
his fault, for ever since he was fed on the
| ambrOsial food of royalty and received his
| imperialistic ideas at the fallen Tuileries,
| he has been firm to the cause of the Bon
apartes and bitter opponent to the Re-
publicans, against whose representatives
his rapier has ever been turned, often with
deadly results. in lonely spots on the Bel
gian frontier. NJ. de Cassagnac is not the
most prominent, but he is one of the most
powerful and relentless, foes to popular
government in France, although he avows
his undying love for his country, and with
his paper to disseminate his views and
principles, he wields no small influence
| among MS fOilOWerS.
AT 4 meeting last evening of the Jeffer-

| of which Lieutenant Governor Black is
president, letter from Governor Butler,

governor has the following, concerning

descended into government of tho few,

gance of one tylant, in a government OF
the few the people have many tyrants to
contend against, until they become an in
tolerable burden, only to be removed
through such tremendous upheaval as

Jefferson's example and teachings have
thus far preserved us. If the country
wanders much farther away from Jeffer-
sons doctrines aud the burdens of mono
poles and special privileges increase much
more a despotism must be the result, if
the people are not obliged to appeal to
