Political Points Gleaned and Condensed from this Morn- gerl of the Democratic State Committee ant his secretaries have arrived here, but not ove a dozen delegates have as yet arrived, to at tend the convention which assembles 01 Wednesday next. In accordance with promises held forth on Satan lay the market opened with a considerable show of strength this morning, w\iich was somewhat interfered with, however, by demonstrations of the bear traders, which have continued off ami 011 during the ent ire day. The buying element, as far as we are able to estimate, has been chiefly eonflned to room trade also, and the market represents nothing more than a fight be tween these two professional parties. As regards the future it is still as difficult to speak, as everywhere short interest has been pretty much eliminated and the most ardent bears depreciate putting out fresh lines at present, which evidences a considerable degree of intimidation so far as it is possible to judge by the loaning rates of stocks the traders and commission houses are all long. The hands of the operators arc not visible, and we are still at a considerable loss to construe the real position of Mr. Gould. Of the Vanderbilt stocks it is almost useless to speak. It is generally accepted throughout the street that Lake Shore will declare a 2 per cent, dividend to morrow and it is an open secret that the road has fallen off $100,000 in earnings for the six months just past of this year. It has also rumored that ihe com pany has a floating debt, but of this we are unable to speak, although It is certainly a very plausible report. Mr. Vanderbilt, however, has returned with an excellent idea of the condition of the crops and the earning capacity of this road if we may judge by his utterances and that all adverse inference? and contingencies as being unworthy of consid- , The Bloonisburg Columbian advocates tho reflection of Judge Sharswood to the Supreme ing's Papers.

The dark faces of the occupants at the cells above looked down upon us and watched the Deputy Warden as ho described the mechanism of the machine of death. The high scalTold looks out of the barred windows of the outer wall on two sides, oast and north. An open field of daisies, a wide and sluggish stream shiraniering in tho sun, woods, cornfields and waiving grain beyond. That is the last of earth without on which the eyes of tho assassin will rest. Within bare walls and grated windows rise on either side, tier upon tier. And there is one cell and window just near enough so tho occupant might reach out and touch the scaffold on which the eye might linger, for in that coll is to stand tho man whoso hand will spring the trap which is empty now while al' tho others seem be occupied. On execution day this cell will bo occupied and all the rest will bo empty. This is the custom. Who will stand within that coll not ono of the eager, excited panting crowd that will stand below tho scaffold will know. For the barred window will be blinded so that the executioner will neither see (ior bo soon. He will hear the preconcerted signal the dull, heavy thud and perhaps tho pattering of foot on tho stones below as tho crowd files out. That is all. .
