The Snmttiri 1 . 1 ;..
At no season of the yi« aps wo »i> foreibly
reminded that “ God mnde the coimtry, aid
man made tbe town,” aa idhring the tmttry
months oi July and August. When Nature,
under the genial inflaence of tbe bright beams
of tbo sun, exerts her highest powers, no scene
can be more animated than ono of onr beaotU
nil Penßsyirnttla landscapes—with its rich
prodticti pkoadiy' atteatlnß'the fertility of the
soli,—its naat ftnn-heosea, surrounded by
graceful shrnbbery rising up as mouuments ef
thetastoand prosperltyofthetrowher!,—ita
fields dotted with hasbandmon, r bualod. with
their toils, and with beautiful cattlo browsing
upon rich pastures,—whiio in the background
rise up noble forests or commanding moun
tain tops. ■
Through jtho summer, tho busy hum ol the
city, to a great extent, is silenced. Doadness
und'dullness prevail where, at other seasons,
the activity of business life is incessant. In
thoutands ot fashionable mansions tho accus
tomed; gaiety mad animation are suspended.
Prom the, bustling] centres, of traffic but one
answer' is heard to the stereotyped inquiry,
“ How ia business?” << Dull.” The summer’s
heat, which works such magical transformations
in tho- country, which sends the currents ol
Vegetable lifo quickening through the reins ot
alt plants and stimulates them to rapid growth
—instead of also / increasing tho animation of
ear city, decreases and dmost destroys it by
driving away all who can conveniently Aban
don it, and leaving behind only thoso who now
consider a disagreeable necessity a residence
which, during nine months of tho'yoar, they
deem the most delightibl in the world.
Each warm day increases the number who
soek egresa from our city by tbonsands. It
is by no means certain that they all increase
their, comfort and enjoyment by departing
from pleasant homes to retreats which are
not always agrceablo—but« rather than bear
the ills they have,’! hare, they eagerly « fly
to others that they know not of,” braving all
danger* of toilsome jonmbys, extortionate
bills, bad flue, and small And uncomfortable
rooms, is the hope that fresh air and light
spirits, pleasant new acquaintances, and the
renewal of agreeable old ones, new sights and
new sensations, will provo an ample reward
for all minor inconveniences, and send them
back to their homes when the gales of autumn
begin to rustle through the trees, with reju
venated spirits and with new vigor, for the
commencement of a fresh campaign of busi
ness or pleasure.
No one who journeys through tbe region
surronndlng Philadelphia can fail to be deeply
impressed with ita beauty, and with the many
evidences, which are constantly presented 01
aa increasing disposition to adorn it. All the
resonrees of modem architecture and horti
culture are brought into' reqnlaltlon to embel
lish the numerous country seats upon which a
fair portion ef tho wealth of the city is being
expended, and as these monuments of taste
increase In number some of their improve
ments are. finding their way to every farm
home', and the whole scene is being quietly
and gradually, but .rapidly remodelled. The
day is not far distant when art will have done
so much for the naturally beautiful environs of
Philadelphia that no part of tho world will
present a more attractive scene.
Joint Electoral Tickets.
The Kichmond Enquirer, and a low other D
emocratic papers, North and South, as woll 09
Administration Democrats everywhere in the
North, seem very anxious that the Demo
cratic party should unite, as they say, so as to
boat the Republicans; but unfortunately all
’who are thus exercised■ mean only to unite
so as to elect Bskckisbidoe and Lang, or
one ortho other of them.. Now, wo"can tell
all these papers and persons who profess to
bo Democratic; bow the Republicans may be
dofeated—and tho only way—and that is, by
withdrawing their spurious Disunion nomina
tions, and every Democrat, North and'Soutb,
uniting on tho regular Democratic candidates—
Douglas and Johnson ; this is tho duty of all
true Democrats, andean alone secure tho party
victory. There .is no other way; all the talk
Shout running one ticket for Douolas and
Johnson and Bbeokinbidge and Lane must
end in smoke. The thing is impossiblo, and
an- attempts to carry, it out anywhere in a
Northern State, will bo certain of overwhelm
ing defeat.
How can any friend of Douqlas vote for
BMCKninisOE,' after, his friends teceiti thorn
the regular Convention, and became engaged
in breaking down tho party, by opposing its
regular nominations 1
The whole scheme is a humbug—a cheat—
contrived by tho Administration to cover up
its disorganizing and disunion schemes, by pre
venting (fee exposure at the polls in Novem
ber of tho Very few who will support themi
The Troubles in Japan.
-More' accurate accounts of the recent diffi
culty in J Japan than those received at tbe
time tho Japanese Embassy was in Phila
delphia, were forwarded to England, and arc
published in tfae London journals. Itappoars
that the party assailed was tho Go-tai-ro, or
Regent, and the attack was made whllo ho waa
ou hie'way irom his residence to tbo castle of
the. Tycoon—the two places being only about
five hundred yards distant from each other.
The assailants numbered but about sevonteeu
men and they evinced desperate courage as
well as military skill in tire daring enterprise,
bnt they were promptly repelled alter
several, lives wero lost on each .side.
Seeing that they would bo overpowered by
the numbers who quickly rushed to tho as
sistance T of tho Go-tai-ro, they fled, and ap
pear to havo escaped arrest and punishment.
The Japanese Government declares that the
assailants consisted only of «loonings,” as
tbay term disbanded soldiers and ruffians, but
it la believed they were retainers ot the Prince
of Mieto, whose-father, the former Tycoon,
was deposed, chiefly throngh the' influence ol
the Regent, to make room lor the present oc
cupant ot that position. . The motive appears
to have bean revenge, and the' hope of de
throning tile existing dynasty, and conferring
power upon the Prince of Mono.
The Oregon Election.
About tho time that the Secessionists aud
other friends of tho “distinguished statesman
and soldier,” Gen. Laee, whose speech at the
Secession meeting in Independence Square
gave our citizens a good opportunity of esti
mating bis mental powers, were forming their
scheme for his elevation to the exalted posi
tion of President of tho .United States, tho
people of Oregon, who have-been outraged by
his conduct in the United States Senate, were
quietly perfecting their arrangements for dis
placing him from - the position which he now
occupies, The resnlt is' briefly told in the te
legraphic despatch we pnblisb this morning.
Tbe Legislature, upon which will devolve tho
task of choosing new. Senators, will contain
sixteen members favorable to the re-election
of Laee and Smith and thirty-four opposed to
them. ' Tho turning point in Labe’s political
career is near at band, and the obscurity he so
richly merited by. his misrepresentation of tho
real, sentiments of his constituents shortly
awaits him. It is scarcely possible that the
people of tho United States will permit him
to gain a new lease of power in an exalted po
sition after this significant and just rebuke.
European News.
There is a later arrival, but little extra news
from Europe. Great discontent prevails in
England in consequence of the high pried of
batcher’s meat, owing to thfe scarcity and con
sequent dearness of fodder. Strangely enough,
the price of bread has not yet been niaterially
affected by the almost certainty, from long
continued bad weather all oyer Europe, of a
deficient harvest. The usual English habit,
when the crops fill, is to;haye a few bread
riots, which the military and yeomanry put
down by sword, musket, and pistol. Af
ter that' the rich subscribe liberally for tho
poor, • This time, if the American harvest be
bounteous, as there is every reason for hope,
England willhave an abundance of food—pro
vided that she' pay gold for it.'
/ GAuaai.ni is reported as upon tho eve of
making a descent upon the city of Naples, in
stead of wasting time In an attack upon Mes
sina, where the royal troops are concentrated.
He to endeavoring to obtain a loan of ♦6,000,000

WESHIHGTON CORRESPONDENCE
Letter from “ Occasional.”
[Ooii»pson<t»BS« of The Praaai '
Tashinoion, July 9, 1860.
Breckinridge and his friends have finally pur
chased the Washington Union, alias tba Consti
tution, and plaoed it In the hands of that recent
British subject and eolon of nobility,’WilUsfn M.
Brewne, General Bowman retiring not only con
siderably lacerated in bis bead since hie fraternal
encounter with Chevalier nchnsble, but greatly
damaged in his pocket and his feelings. A good
deal of negotiation took plaoe prior to the transfer
of this white elephant to tho young Vioo President
and his backers. They are extremely restive un
der the donble oharge of being Dlsunionists and
the apologists for the earruptidns of Mr. Buohansn;
and in order to get rid of some of the odium of tbe
latter, they will shape their course in the Con
stitution so es only to give a cold countenance to
the Cabinet and the President.- It is fitting that
the person who is to apeak in favor of tbe Seces
sionists should be an Englishman, one who looks
to Great Britain as his home, who cherishes the
hatred of that Government to bur own, and who
re-eohoes ail the hopes of tho European despots
that tbe experiment of self-government in the
United States may fail. He was in his proper
sphere when be assisted Mr. Buchanan in fats wild
and merciless pursuit cf independent Democrats,
and when he apologised for tbe disgusting incon
sistencies and dishonesties of the same high of
ficial . By an easy transition, ho is in a still more
natural position by joining bands with thoso who
are laboring to effeet the downfall of republtoan
institutions upon these shores,
Daniel S. Dickinson, of New York, has assumed
tho position of obiof executioner of tho Douglas
rebels is that State. It is said that he hts sent
word here, that if the friends of Breckinridge want
ed help at his hands, and tbo hands of hts Iriendß
in tho Empire State, they must agroo to the sum
mary dismissal of all thoso rebolß who oontinuo to
hold office in his qaarter.
The removal of North, of Now York, a spocisl
agent, who has boon seven years a fsithinl and
vigilant officer of the Post Office Department, and
dtstingnisbed for his tact and courage in ferreting
out defaulters and thieves, took plaoe beoanse of
bis known conscientious devotion to Judge Douglas.
A strong effort was made to save him, but the Pie
rident insisted on his blood. So, too, with the re
moval of the postmaster at Albion, where Hon.
Sanford E. Churoh, the ablo Douglas leader in tbe
Baltimore Convention, resides. In order to strike
at him, his triend la the post offioe at the plaoe
named has been ojeoted.
Spies are sot upon all men North and South who
are suspected of sympathising with tho Sonator
from Dllnols. Immense sums of money are spent
tn telegraphing to tho different States for informa
tion, and word hss been issued that no expense
shall bo spared by those who are co-operating for
Breokinrtdge in giving prompt notico of any dofeo
lions amongst the officials.
Hon. 1.1. Stevens, of Washington Territory, tbe
eheirmsn of the Secession-Breekinridge commit
tee, is eotive in his attentions at the guillotine.
Be is in foot the Directory which sends in the
names to the headsman. Governor Stevens being
in oonstant intercourse with the President, and
heartily sympathising in tho crusade upon the
Douglaamen, ts probably the most efficient ally
sad auxiliary of the proscriptive spirit that reigns
here supreme.
The gallant Bowdloh, collector at Burlington,
Vermont, has just been beheaded for his devotion
to Dougins. Less than eight months remain to tho
present dynasty, but these eight months aro
greedily contemplated by those who are assisting
it in breaking down the Domoeratle party. Mil
lions of patronage will be dispensed during this
period. Hundreds of parasites and traitors will
be rewarded, and good men, who 'dare to open
their lips in favor of Democratic principles, turned
out in the cold. Here in Washington, the seat of
patronage, and the oentre of tho official oligarchy,
numbers are dependent upon this patronage, and
are looking forward for such oroiabs as may drop
from the Presidential table. It is a humiliating
spectacle to see how men, formed after the image
of their Creator, debase themselves for the pur
pose of obtaining.the favors of the President. How
they crawl at the feet of powor, and bow thoy re
spond to the mandates of treacherous pnblio ser
vants !
To-night wo are to have a grand office-holders’
procession, another exhibition of the utter degra
dation to which American citizens sometimes -will
descend. Bonfires, and music, and cannon, and
fireworks, and speeches are to oelebrato the cer
tain overthrow of the Democratic party, and the
probable dissolution of tho Union itself. Men will
go there like the roareant Christians of ignoble
memory, and offer sacrifice on the altar of a des
pot Domitian to false gods,.and an infomons creed.
At no period ef time In our history, thank Hea
ven, have wo been called upon to witness suoh a
scene as will take placo to-night. The olerks In
the different departments wilt be out In brigades.
Every missing man will be marked for instant de
capitation. Poor fellows '.—sad plight, indeed!
—will be forced to fall down and worship a
devil, when they in a God believe.
Letter from “Ezok Richard**”
(Correapondenoe of The Frees.]
Washington, July 8,1860.
The indications of a general slaughter ere being
manifested. Another head has rolled off in conse
quence of the devoted Democracy of its owner.
The victim is Mr. Wilaie, postmuter at Albion,
New Tork.
Mr. Wilrieia tho friend of Sanford E. Churoh,
end waa appointed through his influence. Mr.
Church’s gallant demeanor at the National Demo
cratic Convention gave infinite disgust to the Dis
union Administration, and so, aa a rovenge on
Churoh, Wilaie’a head ia taken.
Daniel S. Dickinson counsels decapitation. He
say!—on tbo best authority—that there is no hope
for Breokinridgo unless torror is struck into the
office-holders; and thoy are coerced to be mis
sionaries in tho evil cause. This, while it shows
tbe venom, also exhibits the weakness of the
bolters.
The Constitution has changed hands again.
Bowman left the editorship yesterday, and an an
nouncement in its columns (last night’s edition)
informs its three hundred subscribers that W. M.
Browne is now proprietor and editor.
Browno was pressed, by himself and others, for
an appointment either in Europe or as a commis
sioner to settle the California boundary. The rup
ture of Girin—who is a close friend of Browne—
with the President knocked the latter on the
head.
When pushed about some or any appointment,
Mr. Buohanan naively and with his accustomed
wink said, “He ooutdn’t spare him ” This doubt
ful compliment appeased Mr. Browne, and be has
been installed into the more doubtful honor of be
ing chief organist to King James.
Legal Intelligence. Quarter Ses
mons—Judge Allison.—John Langan was put on
trial charged with committing an assault and bat
tery upon Bridget Malloy. The case was one of
the most curious tried in this court for a number
of months. Mrs. Malloy alleged thaten the eve
ning of the 6th of June she purchased of Mr.
Colgan, Booth street, near Sooono, a picture repre
senting the Infant Havleur. After her purohase,
she took a oar and went to Second and Prime, and
visited Mr. Langan’s store for the purpose of
inquiring the price ofa chair. While in the store
Mr. Langan notioed the picture under her shawl,
and immediately he accused her of stealing it from
him. Be took It from her and drove her out oftho
store, using her roughly. She then went back to
Mr Colgan’e store and obtained from him a letter
vouching for her purchase, and with this ehe re
turned to Mr. Langan, bnt that gentleman,still un
satisfied, accompanied her to Mr. Colgan’s, where
Mrs. O. described the picture which ho had a
half air boor before sold to Mrs Malloy. Mr.
Langan denied the correctness of this, inasmuch as
the picture whioh he alleged be took from Mrs. Mal
loy had a female figure depicted, and not tho in
fant Saviour.
Mr. Golgan testified in relation to the purchase,
aud to the fact that within a half hour Mrs. M. re
turned to his store, crying and oojDpJaining of Mr.
Langan’s conduct In taking the picture and ac
cusing her of larceny He then gave her the note.
A lady witness testified that she was acquainted
with Mrs Malloy; that she was in the oar when
Mrs M. entered, and that she exhibited to hor the
ploture ef the Infant Saviour. Tho witness accom
panied Mrs. M. as far as Mr. Langan’s store, and
saw her enter.
The defence exhibited the pseturo alleged to
have been stolen. It was a half-length female
figuro, and not the Infant Saviour. Odo witness for
the defence testified that she was in Mr. L.’e store
when Mrs. M. entered, and she saw her take up
the picture and hide it under her shawl, and Mr.
L, observing the movement, immediately aoensed
her of stealing it, and removed it from her per
son, and she ran away, The picture thus taken
was the one exhibited in court. Another female
witness testified that she was in the store, and
while she did not see the picture taken np by Mrs.
Malloy, she saw it removed from boneath her
shawl, and it was not the “ Infant Saviour.”
The jury rendered a verdiot of guilty after an
hour’s deliberation, and Judge Allison, who ex
pressed himseif dissatisfied with the verdiot, set it
aside, and discharged the defendant.
Mr. Langan had brought a oharge of larceny
agates: Mrs Malloy, ana this bill was tried while
the jury in the above case were deliberating.
After hearing all the foots, as detailed in the former
oase, the Dlstrlot Attorney submitted the oase as
one of doubt, and advised a verdiot of not guilty.
Such a verdiot was rendered.
James F. Walker was charged with the larceny
of a bureau, what-not, and other household furni
ture.
This was a family difficulty. The prosecutrlxis
the mother-in-law of the defendant, and she testi
fied that she gave the furniture to her daughter
and not to Mr. Walker, andyet Mr. W. insisted
upon carrying them away—and he did carry thorn
oft.
This hot constituting larceny, the Judge oharged
the jury to acquit, which they did.
Wo. Patten, John Andrews, Henry Biddle, and
John Day, were acquitted of a oharge of larceny.
The larceny oharged was the result of an effort
shade by the defendants to reoltlm porter and
mineral water bottles, under the aot of Assembly,
passed to protect bottlers.

Cushing:
Democratic National Convention, >
Baltimore, Md , Juno 23.1860 j
Snt: £em directed by a vote of the Democratic
National Convention to inform you that you fa&vo
boen this day unanimously nominated by it as the
candidate of tho Demoomtio party for tbe offioe of
President of the United Btates, and in their behalf
to request you to aoeept the nomination.
X beg leave, at tbe same time, to enolose to you
a copy of tbe resolutions adopted by the Convention
as the political platform on whioh tho party standi.
I have the honor to bo,
Very respectfully,
C. Cushing, President.
Hon. J. C. Breckinridge.
Washington City, June 20, 1860.
Dear Sir : I have your letter of the 23d inst, by
whioh I am officially informed of my nomination
for the offioe of President of the United States by
the Demooratio National Convention, lately assem
bled at Baltimore.
Tbe ciroumstanoos of this nomination will justify
me in referring to its personal aspect.
Ibave not sought nor desired to be plaoed before
the country for the office of President. When
my name was presented to the Convention at
Charleston, it' was withdrawn by a friend in obe
dience to my expressed wishes. My views had not
changed wbeu tbe Convention reassetublod at Bal
timore ; and when I heard of the differences which
oocurred thoro, my indisposition to be connootcd
prominently with the canvass was confirmed, and
expressed to maoy friends.
Without discussing the occurrences which pre
ceded the nomfaatlons, and which are or soon wit!
be woll undMßtood by the country, I have only to
say that I approve, as just, and necessary to the
preservation of the national organisation, and the
sacred right of representation, the action of the
Convention over which you continued to preside i
and thus approving it, and having resolved to sus
tain it, I feel that it does pot become me to seloot
the position I shall oooupy, nor to shrink from tho
responsibilities of the potrt to which I hare been
assigned Accordingly, I accept tho nomination
from a sense of public duty; and, as I think, un
influenced in any degree by the allurements of
ambition.
£ avail myself ot\tbi*.occasion-to Bay that the
-confidence itnny personal and public character,
implied by tbe action of tbo Convention, will al
ways be gratefully remembered; and it is but just,
also, to my own feelings, to express my gratifica
tion at the association of my name with that of my
friend General L&ce, a patriot and a soldier, wboae
great services in the field and in counoil entitle
him to the gratitude and C9nfidonoe of bis coun
trymen.
Tho resolutions adopted by the Convention have
cordial approval. They are just to all parts
of the Union—to all our citizens, native and na
turalized—and they form a noble policy for any
Administration. ' '
Tbe questions touching the rights of person and
Sroperty, whioh have of late been rtJuoh dlsouMed,
na in these resolutions a constitutional solution.
Our Union is a confederacy of equal sovereign
States for the purposes enumerated in the Fede
ral Constitution. Whatever tho common Govern
ment holds in trust for all t&e States, must be en
joyed equally by eaoh. It controls the Territories
in trust for all tho States. Nothing less than
sovereignty can destroy or impair the right! of
persons or property. The Territorial Governments
are subordinate and temporary, and not sovereign;
benoe they cannot destroy or Impair the rights o;
persona or property. While they continue to be
Territories they are Under tbe control of Congress,
but the Constitution nowhere confers on any branch
of the Federal Government the power to discrimi
nate against the rights of the States, or tbepro
perty of their oiUsens in the-Territones. It fol
lows that the oitizens of all the States may enter
the‘iorrltories of the Union with their property
of whatever kind, and onjoy it during’the terri
torial condition, without let or hlndranoc, either
by Congress or by the subordinate Territorial Go
vernments
Occasional.
These principles flow direotly from tbe absence
of sovereignty in the Territorial Governments, and
from the equality of the Btates Indeed, they are
essential to that equality which Is, and ever has
been, tbe vital pnnoipfe of our constitutional
Union They have been settled legislatively, set
tled judicially, and are sustained by right reason.
They rest on the rock of the Constitstlon. They
will preserve the Constitution—they will preserro
the Union.
It is idle to attempt to smother these great ismes,
or to misrepresent them by the ns* of partisan
phrases, which aro misleading and dtlusivo. The
people will look beneath such expresiions as “ in
tervention,” H Congressional slave e<de,” and the
like, and will penetrate to tbe real questions in
volved. The friends of constitutional equality do
not, aud never did, demand a “ CoDgrtsalonal slave
codo,” nor any other code in regard t* property in
the Territories. They hold the dootrine of non-in
tervention by Congress or by a Terrltirial Legisla
ture, either to establish or prohibit slavexy; but
they assert (fortified by tbe highest jidlolal tribu
nal in tho Union) the plain duty of tho Federal
Government, in all its departments, to secure, when
necessary, to the citizens of all tho States, the en
joyment of their property in the oomnon territo
ries, as everywhere else within ita jurisdiction.
The only logical answer to this would seem to be to
Claim sovereign power for the Territories, or to
deny that the Constitution rocognizes property in
the services of negro slaves, or to deny that such
property can exist.
Inexorable logic, which works its steady way
through olouds and pfission, compels tho country
to meet tbe issue. There is so evasive middle
ground. Already the signs multiply of a fanatical
and growing party, whioh denies that, under tho
Constitution, or by any other law, slave property
oan exist: and mtlmatoly the strugglo must como
between this party and tho National Democracy,
sustained by all tho other conservative elements in
the Union.
Kzik Richards
I think it will bo impossible for a o&ndld mind
to disoovor hostility to tho Union, or a taint of sec
tionalism, in tho resolutions adopted by the Con
vention. The Constitution and tho Union repose
on the equality of the States, which lies liko a
broad foundation underneath our whole political
structure. As I constiuo them, the resolutions
simply assert tnis equality. They demand nothing
for any Mate or seotton that U not cheerfully con
ceded to all the rest. It is well to remember that
the ohief disorders which have our coun
try have grown out of the violation of State equa
lity, and that, as long as this great principle has
been respected, wo have been blessed with har
mony and peace. Nor.will it be easy; to porsuado
the country that resolutions aro sectional which
command the support of a majority of tho States,
and are approved by tho bone and body of tho old
Dewoorsoy, aud by a vast mass of conservative
opinion everywhere, without regard taparty.
It has been necessary more than onc« in our his
tory to pause and solemnly assort the iruo charac
ter of this Governmont. A memoraVlo instance
occurred in tho struggle \?bioh ended in tho civil
revolution of 1800 The Republicans of that day.
like the Democracy of this, wero stigmatised as
disunionUUr, but they nobly conducted the contest
under tho Constitution and saved our ittlitieal sys
tem. By a like constitutional struggle itta Intended
now to assert and establish tho equally of tho
States as the only basis of union aud peato. When
this objeot, so national, so constitutional, so just,
shall bo aooompiisbed, the last cloud willdisappear
from the Ametioan sky, and with comcon hands
and hearts (he States and tho people wlltnnUo to
develop the resouToes of the whole country, to
bind it togethor with tho bonds of intercourse and
brotherhood, and to impel it onward is its great
career.' Tho Constitution and the equality or the
States! These are symbols of everlasting union.
Let theße be the rallying cries of the people.
I trust that this canvass will bo conducted with
out rancor, and that temperate argument will tako
the plaoe of hot words and passionate accusation?.
Above all, I venture humbly to hope that Divine
Providence, to whom we owe our oitein, our
growth, and all our prosperity, will continue to
protoot our beloved country against afi-danger,
foreign and domestic.
f am, with great respect, your friend,,
John 0 Brsckirupor.

tional Convention.

concerned in the burning of the building. Sualk
states that he was prevailed upon by tho two
others to go to the Lamb Tavern on the evening of
the firo to obtain some matohes for them, although
he did not know what they wanted to do with them.
It appears that they had a spite against Mr. Cen
rad, who has oharge of the dead house, and as his
horse and wagon were kept in a stable near that
building they determined to burn It down to be re
venged upon him. Suaik was hold for a farther
hearing.

precautionary measures, has oommenced arresting

Notwithstanding the fact that tho four princi
pal men in the recent delegation from this Btate to*
tho National Democratic Convention have, for
many years, acted in close alliance with each other
on all political queations—namely, Mersra. Rich
mond, Ludlow, Cflgger, and Church—the three
latter gentlemen aro now understood to be aspir
ants for the Democratic nomination for Governor,
at the next State Convention. Another member of
the delegation, Delos DeAVolf, of Oswego, a weal
thy banker, and one of tho strongest politicians of
Northern New York, is also looking with solicitude
in the samo direction, Mr. DeWolf enjoys tbe
confideoco of tbo Hards cf the State, generally,
and will prove a formidable competitor to any who
may be put forward by Bcbell, Mather, Diekinsoo,
A Co. Outside of New York and Westchester
county, where the custom hotu>e has considerable
patronage, there will be no serious Breckinridge
movement in the State In the country it'd all
Douglas. There aro only two or three Democratic
papers in tho whole State that have hoisted the
Bieckisrldge flag, and they are controlled by post
masters or employees of the customs.
A card is In circulation at the custom houso in
this city for a Breckinridge ratification meeting.
Every employee is expected to sign it and attend.
Whoever declines will soon find himself head- 1

Lola Montez, whoso life was despaired of on

Captain Judkins, Captain Joseph Comstock, and
tbreo gentlemen connected editorially with the

were present. Thofoastitself was one of unsur

There was a little speech-making, brief, witty, ami

John Brougham is playing his last, and one of

The reception of, and serenade to, General Lane,
at tbo St Nicholas, ou Saturday evening, was a
funny affair. By whom it was got up and engi-.
neered nobody seems to know. During the brief
specohes m&do by one or two persons, after tho
General had concluded, cheers were given for
Douglas, e\> numerous and hearty that people'
thought it was a walking Douglas meeting that
had stepped a moment out of curiosity to hear

The Tribune having predicted, Ist, that Lincoln

and Breckinridge and Lane the next highest; 2d,
that Brecklnriugo and Lane will have twioe as

3d, that Lincoln and Hamlin will bare four times
as many electoral votes as Bell and JBverett, or
Donglas and Johnson—the Express announces
that it is authorized by a responsible party to bet
$5 000 or less that neither of the Tribune's pre
dictions will prove to be true.
[From another Correspondent|
Pew Yo&k, July 9, 1860.
The last sensation Is one of blood. The mystery
surrounding tho Walton-Matthcws assassination is
as Impenetrable as ever, and our bungling and
blundering coroner has only been able to collato a
few vague iuxcotb and suspicions which bear on
tbeir faoe tbe impress of imprtbabUlty, and serve
only to smuso tbe item-fsmUbing reporters of the
morning journals In the midst of this excitement
we have another in the shape of a horrible tragedy
which took place this morning at the corner of
Eleventh avenue and Seventy-first street, out In
tho moral paitoflbe Twonty-second ward. The
details are of a most appalling oharaoter. It
seems that this morning, at about 7 o’clock, the
residents of a house at the corner oi Eleventh
avonuo ami beventy-first street, were surprised
tbat tho mistress of tbe house, a Mrs. Scbounmaker,
had not yet mado bor appearance. It was her
custom to get up at an oarJy houy, and some curi
osity existed to know what was ibe matter. Her
room was visited by several of tbe neighbors, who,
on entering, found the woman and bor child uj>on
the bed, looked In each other’s arms, and weltering
in tbeir blood. Roth ibelr heads and bodies were
horribly mutilated, as if with an axe, and it was
very evidoDt tbat the deed had been done with a
murderous premeditation. William Scboonmaker,
tho husband and father of the murdered people, Is
a gardener, and raises a largo quantity of vegeta
bles for tbe market. He keeps two workmen em
ployed, and this (Monday) morning they loaded up
Ills wagon, with which he prooeeded, at two o’clock,
for tho city. It is supposed that tbe murder was
committed about four o’olock. 9he bouse was
robbed of $175, which lay In a drawer near tho
bed, and it is presumed tbat to get this money tbe
murder was perpetrated. Suspicion fell upon two
workmen employed by Mr Schoonmaker, and they
wore arrested at noon to-day. The inquest is be
ing hqld this afternoon.
Our steamboat men—whoso avarice certainly e.\-
ooeds their humanity—are advertising “ hanging
excursions” to Gibbot island, on Friday, when
tho pirate Hicks will bo executed. Tbo Herald
\ this morning pathetically remonstrates against
this course on too part of the steamboat men, ana
hopes that New York, having behaved Itself to
well to tho tawny Orientals from Japan, will not
disgrace itsfalr fame by such unseemly and merce
nary exhibitions.
Speaking of tho Japanese and the way in which
they wete treated, reminds roe that the inside his
tory of tbeir stay in New York remains to be writ
ten. Some of the officials, storekeeper?, and oth
ers, mado a splendid thing of it, as well as a som
ber of nowspuper men who hung around the Kin
bussy like so many carrion in tbo rear of hu army,
devoting tboir time aDd attentions to acquiring
presents for tho Japanese.and writing articles about
their presonts fora “ consideration.”
The price of admission to the-Ureat Eastern Ijas
beon reducod to fifty cents for adults, aDd childreu
under twelvo years half price. Tbo management
of tho exhibition has been placed in the bands of
an experienced person—some say Baronin—and
the prospects of tbo ship, or rather of »ho directors,
are improving under the now arrangement. Au
excursion of the ship Is talked of, but na yet nothing
definite is known of the matter. People are tired
of this great nautical folly, and .they reg>rd it in
the light of a “great show” brought on hore to
raise money for tbe famishing stockholders. She
will probably virit Philadelphia in the course of
the summer, and drop In at most of our Atlantic
cities.
