The Enquirer of yesterday, calls on the Times I J for tho proof of a charge against the Hon- John j 1 Bell, copied from the Richmond Enquirer. The article appeared in the Times without comment, with itsendorsor. It is not our own assertion, ; but that of the first democratic paper H Virgin j ia. Waivoring, however, the right of our cotem | porary to demand of us a proof of the declara j tion* of others, we will examine Mr. Bell’s record I —a very black one, by the way—whon we get j the Congressional Globes before us, and, if we I j cannot substantiate the charges of the Enquirer, j j justice would require of us t© place Mr. Bell right I before the ountry. In tho meantime, the En i quirer may explaiu to its readers, wh Mr. Bell i voted against the repeal of the Missouri Comj.ro ; raise Hue, which restricted slavery below 30° 30', ; ; as long a* it remained on the Statue books. j Making Facts It is well calculated to excite a smile to notice | the snoer with which tho Enquirer affects to ro- J gard the conduct of the Southern delegates at ‘ Richmond. It finds fault with them for doiug j nothing when, really, the time for action has not j arrrived. The Enquirer needs to he informed that these gentlemen , stand before the public i not in their individual capacity but, as their ti tle implies,they are representatives of the peoplo, ■ and therefore should have some regard for the Instructions of those whe commissioned them. j But if they were to ignore those instructions and i do nothing al Baltimore, and, returning to Rich mond, do nothing there, or what is worse,tncouti- i nen ly back down from their former position, j they and those who endorsed them would occu- j i py ideniically tho position now held by the Eh- \ i quirer and its party. Our neighbor should hide his faoeiu very shame at the bare idea of “back- { i iug down from brave words.’’ What did the op- j i p sit ion party of Georgia do? It met in Mil-I j lodgeville and put forth a serios of resolutions ( ! on the territorial question which everybody could approve. The party pros? applaude 1 its action, j and the Democratic press accorded It tho meed of credit. These resolutions, without equivocation, claimed the right of protection to slave property iu the Territories, by Congress—almost the only political question which has agitated the public mind in tho South for the last twelve months.— What followed? The representatives of this par ty met in National Convention at Baltimore and did what? Nothing! Not a word was breathed about ‘'protection.” Not a resolution, that wo can ascertain, was offered on the subject. They forgot it. They made a platform without a soli tary principle, and when we inquire if their nom inees have any es this article, we are referred to their records. Is not the climax of humbuggery reached? Verily our Opposition friends should become proficient in that business. They have been at it just twenty years.

Wo lay before our readers tu-dny, a letter from Major Howard, addressed to the stockholders if tho SfoMlo and Girard Railroad. As tho Prc.M dent of that Company, ho felt It to he his duty to inuko this communication in order to answer soiuo charges, which havo obtained circnloiion. disparaging to tho management of the road, as well as to vindicate liis opinion in rcfereucu to a proposed deflection of tho road liftin’ its prusunt line in the direction of Troy. Tn regard to the former wo think the President lias given u satis factory reply. To censure is an easy office. To uggest and practically operate a proper remedy for t';o thing* complained of, is n very difficult matter. Railroads, like every ot Hot interest, bare to rely, in their operation, trpoft vnm, not as wo would hare them, but as they nrr, and until tho Almighty sh ill cotno to their assistance, R ia quite ‘ probable that delays un 1 accidents will occur to ’ provoke tho indignation f those who cannot oven send a waggon and team to market without u “break down.” If tho stimulus of duty were wanting, tho promptings of tsjf-lutercst would compel the officers of a road to select men com petent, in their estimation to perform tho duties pertaiuing to their various niatiors. In theso appointments they are sometime* deceived, and whoa such is tho ease, tho only remedy is to re move them mil fill their place, with others. In tho administration of iho Mobilo b Girard Road, this, wo aru assured, has bcou invariably and promptly done. These charges of inefficient runuagomoat have boon repeated bof.ro, their periodicity is becoming re mark able, aud leads us to think that thoy arc not always suggested by dt.i in teres tod motives. Wo have tho faith, hrav oym, that as heretofore, an intelligent and dia erning public will give tbum the neccasary cxacul- j uauou and accord them tlicir due weight. The queatiou of “dofieotion” is a mnttor atl dressed solely to tho interest of the stockholder*. Will they make or lose by tho chango? Tire I‘residout ia decidedly opposed to it, and tho cor lideratious which ho urges in support of bus (•piuran, are such that no ordinary advantage* can <>( weigh thorn. Wo ate not sufficiently vein ed in tho latter to hazard a judgment. Tho mat ter will bo duly investigated, before any notion is taken, by those inqj.t deeply interested, and to their decision wo are ooutent to leave tho quo tion. Illinois Democratic stair Convention.

A hue and cry has boon raised against the managers l *f tbo road, for the accident.! of tho road in losing for a time the uto F infnc of the locomotive-, which prevented the transportation of cotton to Colum j bus in proper time. Thin was truly iinfbrtenati*, j an nobody could be bUnned but the rtvoengmeers I who brougiu eu tbo colfision. Tlu engineers wore disehurged, wfirh was all that could be done. Ills said by persons who will not inves tigate the condition of thing#, that wo should have had a schedule for the freight trains by which th.i accident would have been avoided. Y>'o hud a schedule for the parsefigi-r train, but could not have one for the freights, for the reason thatfrora the want of bauds, we could not tell when they could be loaded. From tho great s arcity of la. bor, wo had to depend Upon a white force, which could not be commnndcd nhd therefore v.ry un cert'iin in It* movements: at time* wo would have a sufficient number of hands, then the next day, fewer perhaps none at all. Xb ruumrt of tho freight always knew the time of tho passenger fralflj and kept out of its way, and geucrallyknew where the freight of the other was loading, and could at u/f times at leu ft avoided u collision.— Other roads freqaeutJy meet with accidents and nothing compluinod of, but our road is subject to tho scrutiny an l severe reprimand of whoever volunteers in iti abue. The accident occurred to us; it was too late to avoid it; the question then wur, bow *btll it bo remedied? Bouio uaid wo ought tu have had more engined; that wu out of tho question, os wo had no money, and more over, no additional steam power would (but for tho accident) have beau necessary. Tho only remedy to be found wne in time t*< repair. Wo could have obtaioed an engine, but t'ol.

We have sent to Baldwin k Cos., of Philadelphia, for two euglues, which will arrive in time; hut i thoy wore bore to-day, they could not bo put up on tho line until tho railroad brldgo it complof ted. The second attack is on account, as they assort, of tho slow progress of the rail road bridge, and further, that I nave boon prodigal in tho expen diture, ns nrcording to tbdir statement I could have proonred a contractor to build tho bridge at much less cost, and that contrary to a resolut ion of the board of directors requiring nn advertise ment for contractors. I went on and built it ns fur us husgunout tho expense of the company by day labor. ; All this is wrong, and tho people who as sert it are simply mistaken and misinformed up on the subject—there never wua such a resolution of the board. I made great efforts to obtain a competent contractor and failed. I was codk- to tbo course I pursued as a dorr* or resort. The peoplo of Alabama and Ooluadus both demanded tho bridge, and I have proceeded with it with all theeconoiuy I could use. It will cost more than I expected, but from tho scarcity of and high price of labor it may well be expected to cost more than tho estimate of Mr. Bbmbb, the engineer of tho South Western Road, who was employed upon that survive; hut notwithstanding die advance in tho wages, we hope to make the connection with tho Muscogee Road within tho radimiUis tnadu by Mr. Sltfobb. If the bridge cost much or little it in tho best wo could do.

Our reader* are referred to the telegraphic dts patches in another oolnmo, for the latest intelli gence frran Baltimore, whore the Democracy aro now aftHetnbled to nominate candidate* for the President and Vice-President of tho United State*. At the period of the present writing, tho Cont ention is harmonious. Ou the lftth iuat., tho first day of the Convention, a resolution was of fered by tbo New York delegates to tho effect that the claims to seats by the delegate* from the oot ton States be referred to the committee on cre dential:*, and that the report be final, with the understanding that no one shall be admitted to a ■eat in the Convention who will not pledgo him self to abide by its decision*, and support ita nom inee. This resolution was lost; showing that the tem per of the Convention is not to force the South ern State t to the support of any candidate who might bo selected as the ntandard-bearer. Rome of the Douglas States must have voted for this resolution, otherwise, it could not have passed.— The position of the New York delegation is now thoroughly understood. The candidate of the par ty will receive their cordial support, and they will make war upon the seoediug States, who might, upon certain contingencies, oppose the nominee. Tbo credentials of the delegates claiming seats n the Convention have been referred to the Com mittee on Credentials. Those seceding States, where there are two sets of delegates, vk; —Ala- bama, Georgia and Louisiana, are denied admia aion into the Convention, until tho Committee on Credential* make their report. The remainder of the delegate* from the receding States, whore seats are not contested, have had issued io them tickets of admission by the President. The dele gate* appointed by the regular Convention iu Georgia will doubtlchk be received. In fact, wc are not advised that the intention of the “Nation al Democrats,” as they are called, i* C- contest their seats. In Alabama and Louisiana, the case is done what different, and it may be argued by the Doug las party, that the Charle*ton delegates, having j vacated their seats by seceding, that uuder the i resolution of adjourntaent to Baltimore, that their j “vacancies” have been supplied by other dele- i gate*. The Convention called by the proper an- | thority, will and ought to be recognised, and their delegates received. In our opinion, the Baltimore Convention will nominate a Southern man, as the chances of Mr. Douglas are out of the question.

One thing is certain, he has made it all that it is, and ho did it when nobody else and every body else connected with it either could not, or would not do anything with it ; since nobody else could or would do a* well a* he has done for the past, is there any security that any body else will do any better for the future ?

The Washington Conetitutioi% contains an ac count of a most otninoua and pregnant Cuuver.a tion reported by the Paris Pretee, a* having oc curred between Napoleou and the English am bassador, Lord (.'owley. It any* : The language of Napoleon appeals to have been high aud imperious, denying all respouri billty on his part with regard to tbe Ricili-tn In surrection, and the invasion of Garibaldi, fra which latter he blames the Rardlniao government and declaring that he, being called upon to “eon template the success of tbe notional party in the .Southern State of the peninsula, and th* comple tion of the great kingdom of the North,” (Sardin ia) the balance of j ower thu* agatu disturbed •‘mutt, in the cuee of France at laaet, aauin be re 11retted by the territorial exteneion of the empire Th* Emperor adds, that there may be no ntisun ere tending in hit mean iug, he makes these remarks in the presence of his Minister of Foreign Affair*. In tbe course of th# reported conversation hs also says, “the warning which I have given to th* Sardinian government 1 would now give Her Majesty’*."—Something Is to come of language like this. If It is eorrsctly reported, England has not been spoken to In such a tone since the day of the first Napoleon. What Is t&ougbt of the Richmond Convention a brand Row at Baltimore The aotiftn of the Democratic Convention at Richmond meets with the general approbation ot tbe Democratic member* of Congraes. But there appears to boa gloomy foreboding in the mind* of most of them Hint there is a crisis al hand which cannot bo averted, and which is pregnant with the most tremendous result*. The Douglas dele gates aro resolved not to admit the speeding del egates, as far as they have tho power t- exclude, but to admit iu tbeir stead bogus delegates ap pointed to fill the vacuut place*. Very much de pends on the delegation from New York, which hold* the balance of power. ‘J hat an explosion will take piano i* almost certaiu, and it will be brought about iu tlila w y. Judge Bmal'ey, the Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements at. tbe Charleston Conveiri.on, who acted ao unfairly in excluding tho Wood delegation frmu the floor, claim* the right to issue tiek.t.i h.r the Baliitoore Conv ntiou. Tho claim ia denied, as his powers •■eased when the Charleston Convention Urgun ited. But tho new National Demecrauo C m mittoe was not appranted, on acoouut. of tbo sud den breaking up of the Convention. Under theao circumstance*, Mr. Caleb Cushing, the chairman of tho Convention, hns the right to issue the tick ets, end he will issue them. Tbeea will be thus a doubb’ set of tickets issued. Atari events, Mr. Cushing will supply the Southern seraiding dele gates’with tickets, and they will bo admitted; und the question will then arise, how aro they to be put ou ? The Douglas leaders, finding them present, will ask them whether they will be bound by tho decision of tbe Convention if Douglas should he nominated? It they .should not give a satisfactory answer, the Douglas faction will pro tost ag uust tbeir right to tm thero, and if they can, will expel them, and admit their own friend a frran the rum# Slate nod thus nominate their fu v write. It ia needless Ui any that undonheyireuinriuneig tho seceding delegates will secede a second time, and perhaps bring otbors with tb cm,and that there will be another democratic candidate in tbo field. Th.s breaking up will probably take place on Tuesday, and the Richmond Convention will meet on the 20th, one day earlier than named, and in pursuance of the call of the chairman, who is vented with discretionary power to convene the seeeders sooner if necessary.

Rlonhin atNiauara Aoaix—The groat tight rope walker has, this seasou, changed tho loca tion of hi* “uoste&dfnst footing” on the Niagara. Last year the rope was s retched from points be tween the J* a 11m and the suspension bridge. The Niagara Falla Garotte says that it now hnngs over the wildcat of tho rapids, Just below the Suspension Bridge and above the whirlpool. At this point tho gorge of the river abruptly nar rows, and tho vast volume of water as it leaves the broad area above and enter* the narrow channel, is violently agitated and the velocity greatly increased. The banka arc very high, nearly two, hundred and fllty feet,.— and arc also very steep —in /act, nearly perpen dicular. Over this fearful chaaut, ivud on this mere thread, tho rope-walker proposes to travil to and front the Queen's Dominions. As fearful as the undertaking seems, those whowitnesged his per formances last yenr enteriuiu uo doubt as to his ability lo do all he promises. .£4l, The Troy Budget understands that Mor rissey, the pugilist, in to go immediately into training, at the Abbey, near Troy, with a view of lighting ffoouan in August; He has left New York, and expresses bfs dolcrmiuation to van quish the cbnmpioli of the world, notwithstand ing he/Morrissey) is threatened with consump tion. f&f* lu Warren eonnty, Mis.*., some teu days ago, a.Mr. Dee, who bad had trouble with his wife and her family bee*use of bis ill treatment of hor, deliberately shot her nt her brother’s table, ami wn* himself instantly killed by the brothei The wife survives, but in a critical eon dlt ion. • A few wailing!- utter, in the urne county Dr r got into u difficulty with Dr. Beil about ihe latter’s visits to tho former’s sisters, and was killed itifttnutcr, us waa his brother-in-law, Col.
