A large number of ballots were had, but without effecting a nomination. Mr. Douglas had 152 votes on the last ballot, lacking about 50 votes ol the required two-thirds. A number of the South ern delegates have withdrawn, but their places will be supplied at Baltimore, with truer am, more conservative men.

As a proper finale to the astounding frauds perpetrated at the recent election, the Black Kepubhtar managers of the City administration tiave rendered their iniquity berfect by "coun ting our- JOHN R. DOWNING, who was elected Controller dv several hundred majority. What else could have been expected, after the daring pollution cl the ballot-boxes in reference to the slier Democratic candidates. M. HCFTY ran so lar behind his ticket, that at first it was con tdered a hopeless task to make an effort to save him from deteatby altering the election returns; it on refiecfion, it was affirmed, ttiat the frau dulent victory for the balance of the Black Re publican ticket would be a profitless one, unless i lie custodian of the City Treasury could be se ured by the plunderers. Under this stimnla 'ing necessity, Mr. DOWNING has been wicked ly deprived of Ihe olh re to which he was un doubtedly elected. No Black Republican pre tended to dispute this fact, until Wednesday af tcrnoon last, when it was probably suggested by some official plunderer, that their work of fraud already committed would become valueless, un less crowned with the fraudulent return of the Controller. The deed has been done, and the >nly remedy now left us is an appeal to the Courts for justice. Frauds have sometimes hecn exposed by this process, when confined to two or three localities distant;from each other. How tnucli more readily can it be detected, spread as it season Tuesday last, all over the City 1 But even this genera) diffusion of fraud was insufficient to defeat Mr. DOWNING. It re quired some cunning manipulator of figures to achieve so great a wrong, after the result of the •■lection was known, and Ihe majority for Mr. DOWNING declared at the various division pools as required by law. Who did this infamous deed ' There are many men in the Black Re publican ranks capable of doing even worse ; but we are strongly inclined to believe that the suggestion came from one who has of late years become notorious in politics, and that the fraud tseit was elfected under his immediate direction. Although a cautious man, he is not always master of himself, and he must have hail accom plices. We ask our Democratic friends to per mit their minds to range through the vaiions ppjsons connected with office, that desire an ea sy access to the ( ity Treasury, and then fix up on the person who have committed this fraud. I hey can scarcely miss the man. As a guard against iheir intentions, we must now look to the Select Council, until we can have Mr. DOWNING installed in the Controllers office to which he was legally elected. What course the other cndidates on the Democratic ticket intend to take in the matter •ve are unable to say ; but it seems to us, from tacts that have come to our knowledge, paitlv obtained by actual observation, that there is am ple ground lor contesting the right of every one of the Black Republican candidates on the Citv 1 icket, who now hold the certificates of a frau dulent election, is this not worth a full con sideration. We have the evidence ol fraud m almost every division of the City Wards. Shall we not compact such evidence, and test its suf ficiency before the proper legal tribunal. I he Democratic party has the most ericoura- un* project More it for future access. It '> low (eels its Strength, and will use I vithmant effect.

Destructive Kire al Chicago. [From the Ctn rago Press ami Tribune, May '2.] The alarm of fire alrout 8 o'clock yesterday morning, wa caused by a fire which broke out in the extensive five story wholesale clothing ware-House ot Messrs. Barrett, King N. Co., I No. 2* Lake street. When first discovered, the fire was well at work in the rear of the fourth story, and thence spread iapidly, until it involved thejentire upper part'of the building. The fire destroyed the two upper stoiies anil roof ot the building, the entire floors below, , however, being deluged with water. The ad- j joining store in the same block, No. 25, was injured in the roof, and the fifth story beside being deluged by water. The premises next on the corner of Wabash avenue, were a three story brick building occupied by E. Price, used below as a stable and above as a billiard room. The upper part of the rear of the west wall ot No. 27 fell with a tremendous crash upon the roof of this stable, carrying everything to the cellar. The marble block of Cooley, Farwell & co., on Wabasn avenue, was at timber in much danger, but saved by vigorous exertion. Messrs. flarrett, King it Co., had in their establishment a very heavy stock, on which they had an insurance as follows : Home, N. Y., SIO,OOO : Relief, do., $5,000 ; Lamar, d $5,000 ; Niagara, do., $5,000 ; Merchants' Hartford, $5,000, Hartford, do., $5,000 ; City of New Haven, $2,500 ; Humboldt, $2,500 ; Northwestern, ot Oswego, $5,000. Total SSO, 000. Tneir stock was valued at $75,000, and. a bout one-half is saved in a damaged condi- j tion. Their building is owned 'y Liberty 'Bigelow Esq., and is insured for SIO,OO, as follows : Humboldt, $5,000 ; City ofSJi'ew Haven, $5, 000. The injury to the building is thus fully covered. No. 25 was occupied on the main floor and the two upper stories, by Messrs. Weber Wil liams & Yale, wholesale dealers in hats, caps and straw goods. Their loss, as it stands, is from damage by water, their premises being thoroughly drenched. Messrs. W. W. <s* Y. were insured for $20,000 in the following of fices : Indemnity, Exchange, New Amsterdam, Manhattan and Lamar—about equally in each. In the second and third stories over the last named firm, were the wholesale rooms of Messrs Rawson & Baitlett, dealers in hoots and shoes. Their stock was much ol it removed, but the re mainder was badly wet. Insured as follows : Howard S2OOO, Lamar S2OOO, yEtna SSOOO. The building No. 25, forming one ot a continu ous five story block, is owned by Peter Page, Esq. An insurance of $2500 more than covers the loss. Messrs, Bumham &. Smith, wholesale drug gists, occupied the third store of the continuous brick block, No. 23 Lake street. Their prem ises were badly flooded with water, caused bv the bursting of a hose. Their store was injured about SSOO. It was owned by Peter Page, who had on both stores an insurance of $lO, 000. The loss of Mr. Price in the falling of the wall upon his premises is a serious? one. The horses and carriages had been got out in season but the loft was tilled with valuable {sleighs be longing to him and various other parties for whom he was storing them. These were all carried through to the cellar, taking in their route five fables from the billiard room, valued at $4-50 each. The building is owned bv W. P. (iray,and was valued at $12,000, and the insurance on building and stock was SIO,OO in the Peoria, Humboldt, and Hartford offices.— The insurance on the building itsell was $5, 000, $2,000 of which was in the New Haven City Insurance Company- A BLOOD-CHILLING TRAGEDY. —The Howard County (lnd.) Tribune says that one day last week Mr. Levi Sizelove, in the eastern nart of that county, after lie had chopped down a tree, and had walked out on it to the top, discovered something writhing, and slowly approached it, thinking that the tree had fallen on a pig. What must have been his feelings when he discovered that it was his own six-year-old child I There was his child, its head almost en tirely cut apart, and one of its eyes lying on its breast! The lower extremities still moved, but life had been horribly taken. The child had gone to t he woods to seek its parent without any one ol the family knowing of its absence. Pur: EDITORIAL EXCURSION. —WheeIing, (Va.,) May 3.—The editorial excursion over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad will be very large. Over two hundred editors and reporters who are now here will slait to-moirow for Baltimore and Washington in charge of Wm. Prcscoti Smith, esq., the master of transportation. The female institute at Columbus, Miss., was destroyed by fire, 27th ; loss SIO,OOO. The fire originated from a tire balloon failing on the building DISCONTENT™ MORMONS Rr.BDF.EN.--Jt ap pears tljat Brighain Voting is annoyed by re ports and threats of apostacy on the part ol c r !a,n weak backed saints.

We are much bet ter off without such characters. When a man begins to find fault, inquiring in regard to this, that and the other, saying. • ; I)oes this look as though the Lord dictated it ?" you may know that thai person has more or lesg of the spirit of apostacy. Every man in this kingdom, or upon the face of the earth, who is seeking with ail his heart to save himself, has as much to do as lie can conveniently attend to, without calling in question that which does not belong to him. If he succeeds in saving him self it has well occupied his time and attention. See to it that you are right yourselves; see that sins and lolly do not manifest themselves with the rising sun. I repeat trial ij is as much as airy one can well do to take care of himself, by performing every duty that pertains to his temporal and eternal weffare. First believe in the Lord God Almighty, in his son Jesus Christ, and in his prophets tliat he sent in days ol old , then believe in Joseph Smith, and do the works of'the Father, before you question what I dictate to this people. A CAPITAL TRICK THAT ENDED WELL, — Here is good story wljich we have just beard. A young man (a brother to "Sly Boots" perhaps, for, like her, he enjoyed a good joke) was stud ying in college. One atternoon he walked out with one ol his instructors, and they chanced to to see an old pair of shoes lying by the side of the path, which appeared to belong to a poor man at work close byr "Let us have a little a musement at his expense," said the student. "Suppose we hide these shoes, and conceal our j selves in the bushes to watch his perplexity when he cannot find them." "I can think of a : better trick than that," said the instructor, i "You are rich, and supppose you put a silver ; dollar in the toe of each shoe, and then we will hied.,' The young man did so. The poor man finished his work soon, and went to put on his shoes. You can imagine his surprise when he stooped down to take out a pebble, as he sup posed, from the toe, and found it to be a hard | dollar, and then his absolute perplexity and as tonisbrnent when he found still another in the other shoe. His feelings overcame him; he fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven a.nd ut tered aloud a fervent thanksgiving, in which he thanked a kind Providence for sending same unknown hand to save from perishing his sick and helpless wife and his children without, bread. Do you wonder that the young man stood in his hiding-place deeply affected, and his eyes fillet! with tears? Young friends, and you. Mis "SJy Boots," when you want to en joy real funf real pleasure at witnessing the perplexity of others, see il you cannot in some way imitate the student. Such tricks are worth performing. FROM THE GOLP MlNES.— Denver City, Ap*l 21, 1860.—Emigrants are steadily increasing in numbers, and an increased activity in busi ness of all kinds is perceptible. Almost all classes ot men seem to have some "dust," but very few seem to be "flush." The mining news is important. 1 have not vet been able to visit the diggings, but I have met men every day from different points— Gregory's Nevada, Missouri Flats, Russell's Gulch, Tarryall, Blue River, and many other places—and ail are pleased and confident. "All we want," say they, "is quartz mills." There are mountains full of gold, but we must have machinery.— Some yili make it pay with sluices and rock ers, but the great mass ol wealth lies in the im mensely rich quaitz, and which, without good machinery, rock that will yield from five to eight hundred dollars per ton, is perfectly worthless. Old California miners, who have been in the habit of seeing men get rich by cru shing rock that would yield thirty and forty dollars per ton, may think this (five to eight hundred dllars per ton ol quartz) labnlous ; but sir, I have seen, and am posted. JAPANESE MICE.—The Honolulu Advertiser of March 1 has tile following : "While on board the Powhatan one of the sailors, who did not go to Japan for nothi g, exhibited to us a sam ple ot Japanese mice, wtuch were of various colors—some pure white, others spotted. They are perfectly docile and may be handled without being the least alarmed. It appears that in Japan, mice are quite a domestic crea ture and perfectly tame ; they are entirely of a different nature from our mice and are much smaller. In fact, these little creatures may be considered quite a curiosity, as they can be kept in open boxes without any tear of their running away. This sailor had about a dozen of them in a shallow box, with a partition in the centre, and rhree or four smali holes in it large enough to let them pass through, which they did continually, now aud then catching hold of each other's tail, forming a complete circle, and running with such speed that it was impossible to distinguish their heads from their heads from their tails. In another corner was a small box (inside ol the larger one) the lid ol which had two holes in it. They would enter th is in one hole and pass out the other as quick as thought—all for their own amusement. We were also informed that whenever the band played these little mice would dance and run round, keeping exact time with the music, and would stop whenever the music stopped.— Strange, but nevertheless true." ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS IN ENGLAND. —There are in England four lines of electric or mag netic telegraphs, namely, the Electric snd In ternational Line ; the British and Irish Magnet ic, the South-eastern Railway Line and the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway Line. The first of these lines extends over a distance,of 6,193 miles, and the second of 3,656 miles, the third of 308 miles, and the fourth of 119 miles, making the total length of all the lines 10,186 miles. The length of the wires u sed in all these lines amounted in the year 1858, to 48.990 miles . the number of stations opened for the public was 953, and the number of in struments was 4,085. SUGAR MANUFACTURING IN NORTHERN NEW HAMI'SHIRE.—A correspondent at Bethlehem, V 11., under date of April 2(ith, writes to us : '•Large rjuantities ol maple sugar and syrup are manufactured in this and adjoining towns, and the manufacture is extended far later in the season than in the Southern nortions of the State and in Massachusetts. The business has been remaikable good this season. It is scarcely finished here, very few of the buckets having been taken up. Many of our tanners ualize immense profits from their maple yards without any great extra exertion. Parker Beede, Esq., a farmer ol Sand which for one, has manufactu red about two tons without any special exer tion, and others in Carroll county, and in this direction, have made similar amounts. Tin or zinc spouts, about five inches in length, driven in'.o the bark about an inch below the hole, are in almost universal use here, to con vey the liquid sweet to the buckets. In Car roll county, the elder spiles are still in use, but many manufacturers are introducing long strings of wooden gutters to carry the sap from the hill-sides to their houses or to some conve nient place for boiling it. Large flat sheet iron vats are also coming in vogue, instead of the old-fashioned kettles and boilers." FURTHER FROM MEXICO. New Orleans, May, s.—The Picayune has received later advices from Mexico by the arrival of the schooner Star from Vera Cruz. A specie conducta of three million dollars was being made up, and would be escorted as far as the National Biidge. The Church Gov ernment was to receive an export duty of 7 per cent, upon the amount. It was to leave the capital on the 23d of April. The American consullate at Vera Cruz was fully organized. The U. S. sloop-of-war Saratoga and the steamers Brooklyn and Pocahontas, were at Ve ra Ciuz; all well The news of the army operations in the in terior was indefinite. The I rench and English Ministers were en deavoring to consummate an arrangement for the cessation of hostilities. John Iverson was recently arrested and im prisoned at the South tor aggravated polvgamj: he had thirteen wives. The daughter of the jailor whose hospitality this insatiable polygam ic was enjoying while awaiting trial, believed him innocent, pitied him, loved him, opened the prison doors, fled with him, became his fourteenth wife. After eight davi of domestic bliss, the husband disappeared, and left neither tract nor money behind. A reward was offered lor his capture ; a description of his fascinating person was circulated ; lie was recognized in a village tavern by a man who thought of the re ward offered,'and set about preparing his coils for the victim. In order to instil confidence j into his breast, he made his acquaintance, invi j ted him to his mansion, and then off to procure | legal assistance. When ee returned, his home was deserted alike by bis intended prey and his own wife, whom Iverson had led astray. A wretched man suggests that a proper, though a terribly severe punishment, would be to compel the polygainimist to live with his fifteen wives at once. A letter from Austin, Texas dated lSth ult., gives an account of a terrible irpedy which was enacted in that city on the 17th It ap pears some dozen men, living upon Onion Creek eight or ten miles from there, rescued a priso ner "from the hands of the sheriff" while having his trial for the supposed mnrderofan old gen tlemen named Edwars, living in the neighbor hood of the above-named parties. They shot thirteen six-shooter bullets into his head and body. He breathed for some two liouas after. The prisoner's name was Taney. He was ar rested in October, 1857, for shooting the son of the above-named Edwards, and was cleared in the spring or summer of 1858, on the ground of insanity. This happened in the court-house, and two of the parties engaged in the killing were arrested on the spot and are now in jail. LATER FROM UTAH TERRITORY.— VVe have dates from Utah to the 14th ult., Lt. Mullan, whose wagon road party'was at the northward, and who had lost all his animals through the intense cold, has sent to Camp Floyd for a fresh supply, but had to be denied. The troops in the Territory were in motion, complying with the recent general order for their lemoval. Hooes are entertained that the efforts ol Gen. Johnston at Has/iington may prevent the de parture uf the whole army. Gov. Gumming has written to the Department in regard to the lawlessness and disorder prevalent in the Ter ritory—urging the return of the federal jndges, 'he legalization of the acts of the Mormon Court ot Probate, or some other measure to restore the supremacy of the laws. A YOUNG man who is serving out a term in the Michigan Slate Prison has written a long letter to his friends, dwelling upon the causes which led him into crime, and summing up the conditions of "lip-top life,'' as understood by rapid young gentlemen. He says : "F:u may not comprehend this term, but let me explain. By living a tip-top life is meant first to be idle ; second, to drink whiskey or anything else, (and of course get drunk :) third, to frequent all places of coarse fun, such as cock fighis, box ing matches, negro shows, &c. ; fourth, to keep a concubine or two : filth, to steal all they can lay their hands upon. This, then, is living a tip-top lite. Thus have I fallen, and thus will thousands of young men fall." ABOLITIONISTS IN THE CHEROKEE NATION. We clip the following from the Fort Smith Times , Arkansas "We learn irom the Cherokees that the ab olitionists are holding secret meetings, and it is reported that all the newly initiated 'are com pelled to take an oath of secrecy, and are re quired to furnish a certain amount of powder and lead. We fear this organization among the Cherokees has its origin in another part of the country, and that it is spreading secretly in the United States. The pro-slavery party in the Nation are becoming alarmed at the growfng streogth _of the abolitionists in their coun try." A 1 RAGEDY IN EARNEST. —In Wilmington, North Carolina, on Saturday evening, Joseph S. Canady, a young mechanic, who had just purchased a dirk, while jesting with a compan ion, playfully struck his own breast with the knife, crying, "Lav on Macduff!" His friend told him that he had stabbed hiinsell. He sta ted he had not, but upon looking at his breast perceived the blood, when he utterpd ''Good Lord !" and, falling backward in the doorway, died almost immediately. It is supposed that when he struck himself with the dagger he in tended to do so with the handle, as he had of ten done before, repeating dramatic quotation, and "suiting the action to the word." I GOOD—AND PERFECTLY TRUE.—The Rock I Island Jlrgus relates a good story of a discussion ! between a Democrat and a Republican at that j place a few davs ago. The Democrat conten ded for the superiority of the white race over j that of the negro. The Republican claimed that, naturally the negro race was fully Kjual ! to the white race, and cited as an instance the I great abilities and talents ot Scipio Africanws ! The Democrat replied that Scipio Africanto* was a Roman, and therefore could not be'used to support his position. The Republic an as he thought, triumphantly declared that he was an African tor his name wis Jlfricinus ! This was a clincher, of course, and the Democrat gracefully yielded—but he had a sly twinkle in his eye, which caused some of t the bystanders to hold their sides. A LOUISIANA WILD MAN OF THE WOODS.— A wild man of the woods, who speaks Frpnch in a manner not at all wild, i furnishing a local topic to the New Oileans papers. He was caught in a clump of bushes on a plantation, thirteen miles below the city, armed with a re volver. which unpleasant instrument he pop ped at every passenger along the road. Having frightened an entire parish out of its wits, a strong force was mustered to capture hin., and that job was safely accomplished. Nobody knows him, nor will be give an account of him self. HANDSOME TESTIMONIAL.—A handsomely or namented gold box, valued at §SOO has been re ceived by Mr. Wetmore, a New York merchant j Irom the British Government, to be presented to Towsend Harris, Esq., the American Min ister to Japan, as an acknowledgement tor the services rendered by him to the English Am j bassador. ! A TRIAL ot skill for the "Championship" and j §125 aside, came off at Troy, N. Y., on Tues | Jay last, between two rival blacksmiths, named ! John M'Kenney, and Patrick Kennedy.

Sir Edward Lviton Buiwt-rone of the most prolific and brilliant of modern authors, in a lec ture recently delivered, said that he had pub lished about sixty volumes upon subjects requi ring more or less of patient research, and yet had never as a general rule devoted more than three hours a day to study, reading and writing, but that during those hours lie srave up his whole mind to the subject upon which he was enga ged.

Tfie shock, which was prerejlwi by a heavy jarring sound, lasted some five seconds. The wave,or motion, was from a little west of south. The shock was perceptible to people on the street as well as in-doors. A TALL FAMILY.—A Tennesseean who is six feet six inches long, and is buying horses in Cincinnati, says he is the shortest of seven brothels, the heaviest one of whom weighs 330 pounds. The shortest one is pretty nearly as long as a tence rail. AT LAST accounts the Mormons wpre some what excited at the introduction ot the bill in Congress making polygamy an offence against statute law. They were drilling and arming to some extent, and rt they will ever fight it will be in defence of their "pecuiiar institutions." Two ROYS have been tried at Burv St. Ed wards for the manslaughter of a young girl. They were romping with her, and, by the way ot a practical joke, had rolled her in thertieal b n. The poor child escaped trorn them, and, alter running a lew yards, fell down and died, choked by Ihe meal in her mouth and nos trils. Hon. Edgar C.
