After rresiilcat Johnson litul notificil Congress that Uo lmtl signed tlio bill, lie was prevail ed upon by tbo "Whiskey King" to recall it, abut finding that Congress were resolved to pass it over his veto, ho wisely concluded to consent to its becoming n law. Had tlio "Ring" been ablo to defeat tlio bill, thoy would havo divided the one hundred mil lions of dollars, of which they havo been robbing thu government and people in the whiskey business, and furnished tbo Demo cracy with millions to carry on their cam paign. It is well known that the Whiskey King saved Johnson from Impeachment by expending largo sums of money. They bad. therefore, claims upon bim. Had tho King succeeded, they would have raised a fund so enormous which, in the hands of unscru pulous politicians, would havo endangered the institutions of our country. Tho follow ing is a summary of the main features of tho bill: The first section taxes every proof gallon of distilled sprits fifty cents, to bo paid be foro removal from the distillery or ware house, which tax is a lien until paid upon the property and apparatus. Section 5 provides that distillers shall register with the assessors of the respectivo districts within sixty days from tho time tho bill takes effect. Section 13 imposes a tax of two dollars upon every twenty bushels of grain convert ed into spirits. Section 50 imposes a special tax of $100 annually upon every 100 barrels of spirits manufactured, and also provides for licenses of $100 for every $23,000 worth solid, and $10 incrcaso for every $1,000 increase of sales. Dealers ia tobacco, selling not exceeding $10,000 worth annually, pay a tax of $35, and $3 extra for every $1,000 worth sold. Kaisers are Dot taxed for sales of their own production. Dealers, selling between $100 and $1,000 worth, are taxed $5 ; those above $1,000, $3 extra for every additional $1,000 worth sold. Manufacturers of tobacco pay $10, and $3 additional for every $1,000 their bond is in excess of $5,000. Manufacturers of cigars pay $10 where their sales do not exceed $o,000 annually, and $3 additional for every $1,000 in excess of that amount. All snuff and chewing tobacco is taxed 83 cents per pound ; smoking tobacco 10 cents per pound. Manufacturers of cigars must pay $5 for every thoufend made, without regard to quality, aud on all cigarettes, if they weigh less than three pounds to the thousand, $1.50 ; if over that weight, $5. The time in which the bill goes into effect is fixed at 60 dnys. Adjournment ok Congress. Congress adjourned on Monday last, taking a recess until September 21. It had been the deter mination of Congress to adjourn to the usu al first Monday in December, aud this would havo been done had not President Johnson's veto message of tho Electoral College bill made'uso of revolutionary and extraordina ry language, which, following up Frank Blair's violent letter, aud Hendricks' decla rations in tho Senute, alarmed all loyal men for the peace of tho country. It was deem ed prudent therefore to tako a recess until September, when, if Johnson's acta require! atteution, it can bo given in timu for the Presidential election. A Unit. Xinetueu-twcutitths of all the papers in the country nominated Gen. Graut for the Presidency without even knowing his political sentiments ; becauso they all knew him to. be honest, patriotic, and de tei ving of the honor for his national ser vice. Such a tribute to the honesty and patriotism of a citizen never occurred buforo in this country, unless it was to Washing ton, who even had his bitter enemies. Gen. Grant has not changed one iota bincu then, and ho stands before the country tho samo honest and patriotic citi.en that ho was then; therefore the honest men of all par tics can support him without violating any party heling whatever, as all panics have eudouud him. . Tue I.NDEi'ENOE.N r. We observe that this paper, published by Mr. J. J. Auten, has passed into the hands of C. A. Iteimen snyder, Esq., who propose? to cnlurgo and improve the paper. Mr. lioiniensuyUor, in his salutatory, promises to make his paper equal to "tho best Democratic paper in this .uu omcr counties," and as he has the ability and inclination to do so, we presume he will successfully carry out his purpose. Tnu nomination of lion. John I.. Dawson, of Pennsylvania, as miuiater to Kussia, was rejected. Gen. McClernand, as minister to Mexico, met the fate he courted at the New ork Convention, and by his ungenerous Attrition of Gen. Grant. Henhy M. Watts' nomination as minister io AUiri nu been confirmed by tU Senate The Democrat in Pennsylvania boast that they will carry rennsylvania.on account of Laving elected Judge Bharswood last October. An examination of tho vote will dissipate effectually all such ideas. The highest vote every received for a Democratic candidate was 800,391 for Mr. Clymer, in I860. The vote last fall was as follows! Williams, 200,824 ; Sharswood, 207,745. In 1864, the vote for Mr. Lincoln was 200,301 ! for McClellan, 270,310. In 1806, General Geary received 800,374 ; Clymer, 390,391. A. the case stood last year the Democratic candidate was elected solely because of dis affection in tho city of Philadelphia, and be cause more Kcpublicans than Democrats neg lected to vote. Tho difficulties in Philadelphia have been adjured, and that city will giro a majority for IMrtraiirt and Grant. That of itself will bo sufficient to determine the vote of the state despite tho voting manufactory existing in Luzerne county. A full'voto is morally certain; the canvass will bo thorough, and that ensures a handsome majority. In Grant's letter of acceptance wcreod : "If elected to tho office of President of tho Tinted States, it trill lie my etideacor to adminhler Al.l. Till! laws in goodaith, with economy, ami Kith ft vice of yicing l-KAil-., O.I MET, A."U I'UOTIXTION KVUllVWIILllK." In Prank P. Blair' letter before nomina tion wo read a very different doctrine: 'There is but ono way to restore the Gov ernment and the Constitution ; mid that ih or the Pntidtnt elect to declare the reconstrue tinn arts null and roirf, compel tho army to undo its usurpations at tho South, iiisimcupk TIIK OARPF.T HAfl fTATE OOVKUNMKSTS, al low the white people to rc-orgnnizo their own governments, and elect Senators and Kepresentativcs." In the former we havo obedience to law, protection and peace; in tho hitter, disor der, military despotism and civil war. . . .

A despatch from Atlanta, Ga., 23d inst., to the Cincinnati Oa:ctt gives the follow ing account of the speeches at tho Democra tic Convention in that city on thnt day : The rebel Democracy have for ono day at least re taken Atlanta. Their Delegate State Convention assembled this morning, and also their great State mass meeting, the latter of which was a highly successful affair. Larno numbers of people commenc ed comiug into the city as early as last evening, and this morning the whole place was alive with tlio shouts ol multitudes, mc music of bands and tlio roar of cannon. The Delegate Convention met at ten A. M., at Davis' Hall, and was organized by calling W. Kcdding, of Harris county, to tho chair. The roll of counties being called, all in the State wero represented. A committee was appointed to select per manent officers. Whilo they were out Col. J. 15. Weeius was called on for a speech, who told them that the result of their suc cess in tho contest before them would be to expel from Georgia tho cntiro brood of Northern vagrants, Northern rapscallious and Northern paupers, and Southern mis crcauts now infesting her. Tho sentiment was received with tho usual compliment of a rebel yell. A. J. Kamsey, of Columbus, mado a vio lently rebel speech, declaring that in the late war the South mil nothing but main tain their rights ; that tho government wrongfully made war upon her, and that the very day the war commenced tho Con stitution was overthrown. Mr. Clarke made a speech plednina himself before God to fight to the last tho new governments that had becu set up in tho South, and then the Convention adjourned tine die. M ade Hampton lie Makes n t'liar- nctcrJhlic Speech. Wade Hampton has just made a speech at Charleston, explaining ins connection with the Democratic Convention. Speaking of the piattorra, lie says : "As it was my good fortune to be on the committee which framed this instrument, it may be interesting to yon, perhaps, to learn the dotails by which it was perfected, aud the views of those who made it. As you are aware, the Committee on Kesolutions consisted of oco member from each State. On assembling, it was found that a very great ilirlernncc of opinion existed. Among other resolutions offered were some declaring that tho right of suffrage belonged to the States, and this was announced to bo good Democratic doctrine. I agreed to the pro positions, but at tho same time said that it seemed to me thoy had omitted ono very vital point, which was to declare to what States the doctrine applied. I thought it was necessary to guard and limit that decla ration, and to tho end that we might know at what time we could go back and say who were the citizens of the States, I asked that they would declare that these questions be longed to the States under their Constitu tions up to the year 1805. Gentleman were there from North, South, East and West, and by all we were met with extreme cordiality. They said they were willing to give us everything we desired; but we of tho-South must remember that they had a great light to make, and it would not bo policy to place upon thut platform that which would engender prejudice ut the North. They, however, pledged themselves to do all in their power to relieve the South ern States, and restore to us the Constitution us it had existed. As we wero met in such a kindly spirit, I could not but reciprocate. I knew that I was representing the feelings of my peoplo when I did so, and I told them that I would withdraw all the resolutions I hud offered, and no doubt other Southern delegates would do the same, and would accept tho resolutions offered by Hon. Mr. Bayard, tho Senator from Delaware, winch declared that the right of suffrage belonged to the States. I said I would take tho reso lutions if they would allow mo to add but three words, which you will find embodied in tho platform. I added this: "And we dcclaro that the Kecnnstruction acts are revolutionary, unconstitutional and void." (immense cheering.) When I proposed that every single mem ber of the committee and the warmest men in it were tho men of the North came for ward and said they would carry it out to tho end. Having thus pledged themselves, I feel assured that when tho Democratic psrty como to triumph they will show us a remedy for our misfortunes in their own good time, for which I am perfectly w illing to wait. Such is the history of our platform, and such were tho motives which governed the committee in its formation. As tbo rcpresentivc of South Carolina on that com mittee. I preseut that platform to you in uie earnest nope mat it will meet your cor dial approval. As to iny own sharo of tho work performed in the committee, I can assure my fellow-citizens that the onW oh. jects for which I labored were to make it a strong ana honest platform, one that would secure the rights of the South and protect the honor of my State. It is for you to ay how these objects have been fulfilled." It will not escape genoral observation that while tbo Kepublicaus in Congress are restor ing the Southern States, one after another, to their old places in the Union, every Democratic member of both bouses reeulai lv votes aia'tnat nip), rtf.r.ii..n i - o wm. iiaviry Deatrneilre Flood In Maryland. TERRIBLE LOSS OP LIFE. Baltimore, July 24. Early this morning rain commenced tailing, and after a slight intermission, it began at about nine o'clock to pour la torrents, and up to this hour (two r. M.) has continued to fall incessantly. That portion of the city adjacent to Jones' Falls is inundated, and travel is entirely suspended in that vicinity. Frederick and Harrison streets are completely flooded, also the Marsh Market Space. The Maryland Institute is surrounded by a sheet of rush ing, foaming water, that is carrying every thing like bogheads, barrels, bales of hay, etc., with it. The floors of the stores on the streets named are under water, and the merchants have been compelled to remove their goods to the upper stories. Tho loss will bo Very heavy, but cannot now bo estimated. No loss of life has yet been reported. Baltimore, July 24.-3 r. m. The water commenced rising a few minutes before ono o'clock, and rose at the rato of two inches per minuto, and has continued to rise up to this hour. Calvert street is Hooded to Lex ington, within a few feet of Monument Square. North street is flooded nlmost its entire length to a depth of four to eight feet. Holliday street to Fayette street is Hooded, Ford's Theatre being entirely surrounded by water, which is passing down Holliday and Baltimore streets. Gay, Frederick and Harrison streets sro entirely submerged. Tho water on Jones' Falls is several feet abovo the bridges, and it is not known whether they havo been swept away. On many of the wharves near tho Falls the wa ter is sevefal feet deep. A city passenger car was swept from tho track on Gay street down Harrison street, with n number of passengers in it. Tho wildest rumors pre vail in regard to tho numbers drowned, some estimating the number at seven : others say all wero saved but one, Mr. Ward, a printer. A large number of dray horses and some drivers are lost. There is no commu nication between the eastern and western paitsof the city. The water is sweeping everything before it. There is no commu nication north by telegraph. The flood is the greatest every known here. Bai.timouk, July 2410 o'clock p. m. The tlood to-day subsided as suddenly as it arose. Shortly after 4 r. m., the water was carried off within tho banks of Jones' Falls. At this hcur, the damage cannot bo proxi mately estimated, but none of the estimates place it below $3,000,000. Hundreds of stores were submerged, and many hogsheads of molasses on tho wharves and sugar in the warehouses, were entirely destroyed. A number of buildings and stores wero under mined and damaged. Denmnad's foundry and Bently's iron works were partially swept away. Tho gas works supplying the eastern part of tho city were submerged, and that sec tion is without gas to night. Kuno of tho water mains aro reported to have been carried away. The loss of life in the city has not been ascertained, but four persons were drowned. Mr. Ward, who was reported drowned, was saved, and is well. Tho trains to Washington ore running, the damage to tbo Baltimore and Ohio rail road being comparatively small. On tho Northern Central rood the damage is greater, mid it is reported that the trains will not run for several days. Tho Potapsco rose higher by many feet than ever known before, and swept away all tho houses on tho low streets, contiguous to its banks, in tho town, including Gambrill's celebrated Flouring Mills, together with the mill bridge, the county bridge, and injured the granite cotton factory considerably. The house of Dr. Owens, in which was his wile and six children, was carried off and all drowned. Eight or ten other persons wero also drowned. Five men were seen on the roof of the Putapsco mill when the founda tion had nearly given way. Five houses at Elysville were carried off and two or thrco persons drowned. It was heartronding to behold the distress of tho sufferers here. The discoveries to morrow will give us tho details of this great calamity. All who can aro rendering assistance. I have just learned that tho Granite Mills, at Elllcott City, fell from tho pressure of the Hood, uiul sixty of the operatives perished. The de struction at this place is much more teniblu than first represented. Many of those above mentioned as lost in Granite Mills were women. I. ate it. Bai.timohr, July 25. Tho losses by the flood yesterday will foot up several millions of dollars. Tho following firms lire among tho sufferers : Head fc Co.'s tannery, $'.'0, 001) ; Dcumcud iC Son's machine shop 5(100 ; Armstrong Co'a soap and caudle manufac tory, partially destroyed; Woods, Weeks & Co.'s sugar refinery, $:JO,()00 ; Fisher Bros., importers, lose $10,000 in sugar and molas 6es. Beutly, I.arrabeo & Co.'s iron foundry gave way, and the west walls fell, causing a heavy loss. Many piivato houses were more or less damaged. Also, Warfield it Co.'s Monument Flour Mills. A largo quantity of sugar and moUssc3 on tho docks was washed away, and many wharves were de stroyed. Nine bridges over Jones' Falls on different streets were swept away. At Ellicot City the destruction of life and property was very great. About th'nty houses were swept away, some of them con taining wholo families, who wero carried with the current und drowned. Several bodies have been recovered to day at and near the Belay House. The following aro reported drowned at Ellicot City : William Patterson, wile and son; Mrs. Farren and her two children; Fanny and Emmy Duval ; Wm. Reese, wife, son aud daughter; tho family of Dr. Owens, und a number cf others, names not given. The losses on property at Ellicot City are as follows: Grambrill's lower Putapsco Flour Mill was entirely swept away, ami the upper mill partially destroyed. The Granite Cotton Mill of Ben. Deford, which cost $100,000, is a total ruin. Gray's large cotton factory was also much damaged. The Union Company's cotton mill, half a milo above Ellicot City, was badly damaged and much cotton lost. The stores ot George O. Bradley and Joseph H. Leyster, with all their goods, were swept away. Tho Aval Ion marl and iron works, uear thu Relay House, were destroyed. Several days must elapse before an accurate estimate of tho losses can be made. The loss of life in Baltimore city is not positively known to exceed four, only that number of bodies being yet found, but there is uo doubt some were swept into the river. Bai.i imiihic, July 20. The number of per sons missing and drowned at Ellicot City, as received at the offices of the city papers to night, reaches thirty seven. In Baltimore city, six. Tho long bridge over the Putaps co, tioin the loot ot Light street to the Au- ue Arundlu shore, is blocked with debris of the flood. The' river surfaco for several acres is jammed with tho wrecks of thirty bouses, and all kinds of moveable mutter, factory fixtures, boilers, putts of engines uud every species of property. Nearly two huudrod bales of cotton were taken out of the water. The railroad track through Pratt street has been repaired, and the cars of the through trains pass through the city. Thousands visited the flooded district to day. Many steamers were at work pumping water from cellars, and a heavy force ol workmen aud carta are employed in clearing up the mud and dirt from the market and streets On the flau below the Belay House, eight dead bodus were recovered to day, and nine yes terday, most of which were recoguiied by friends and relatives from Ellicot Cit y. The bodies were those of persons from 4 to 60 years of age, and stripped of all cloth ing. Inquests were held on the bodies as soon is found, and all wera taken to Ellicot City for interment. The l'renlict In the Lehigh. Bethlehem, July 25. There is a tremen dous rise in tho Lehigh Valley. At this place the water rose twelve feet in six hours. All along the vally, from hero up, tho da mage has bcea terrible. The Lehigh Valley Railroad bridgo ot Slatington ia gone, and the track badly washed at Lehigh Gap. The Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad bridges at Perryville and Lehigh Gap, also, ouo below, and the acqneduct at the Gap, havo been carried away. Passenger travel will not be interrupted by tho North Pennsylvania and Lehigh Val ley Railroads. Ali.kstown, Pa., July 25. Tho Lehigh and Jordan rivers roso suddenly at two A. M., nnd soon tho water was eight feet above low water mark. Much damage has been dono to property. Two bridges havo been carried away and ono man drowned by run ning over a dam in a small boat. Several loaded canal boats havo been carried below. ritO.VI AVASIIIAtJ ! ). Washington, July 27. No Congrc.?s ever adjourned so quietly as did the Fortieth Congress to day, and nono with tho public business more completely finished. The Senate corridors were so densely packed for the last two hours that it was with difficulty that members could pass between tho two Houses. Many waited in hopes of getting access to the galleries to witness the closing scenes. Beyond the usual noiso and confusion consequent upon a full House, and matters of interest pending, there was nothing un usual. At nine o'clock, there were not thirty members present, but they soon gath ered in until there wero 130 present, 111 be ing a quorum. Mr. Schenck liied in vain to get the small Tariff bill through for the relief of the copper interests, but Mr. Banks fillibustered away tho time, so that with really only thirty members behind him, he effectual ly defeated it. Seeing that it was in vain to try to pass it, Mr. Schenck called up tho conference re port on tho funding bill, which is really Sherman's bill, but with reduced rato of interest. This was resisted by the Democrats untill tiicy could resist no longer, by the Speakers ruling, then it passed 102 to 32, and was hastily enrolled and signed and laid before tho President. A last and feeble attempt to pass tho Cop per bill was made, and pendHig tho cull of the yeas ana nays upon tho dilatory motion of Mr. Banks, Mr. Colfax adjourned tho House, and in an hour not a dozen members were to be found in the Chamber. All the trains North and South, were crowded with members and others, and in less than a week's time not a dozen members of both Houses will bo found here. There weio not over twenty bills left upon tho Speaker's table in tiie House, none of them of any national importance. The President stated to day that he should not remove Mr. Rollins. Internal Revenue Commissioner, but would await the confir mation of his successor by the Senate. Mr. Rollins is going North, to be gone a few days, and will not make any appointments under tho new law until his return. Among the lust actions of the Senate, was the confirmation of a Democrat for Post master of Washington, vice Bowen, the new Republican Mayor. When tho nomination of Mr. Cumuiings was taken up, a motion was made to lay it upon the table, and a cull mado for tho yeas and nays. It was not carried, the vote being 29 to 21 ; but as there was less than an hour remaining, seve rul Senators rose to debate it, and talked it past the hour of adjournment, when it and all other nominations not acted upon fail, and must, at the next session, be renewed, if actions is to be had upon them. It was understood by the President's Cabi net, at the close of the session, that he sign ed tho Funding bill, but when tho clerks came to look over their notices and the numbers of tho bills, they did not find it. It has sinco transpired that ho carried it off with bim and dues not intend to sign it at all. Speaker Colfax and family left at two, p. m., for South Bend, Ind., where be is to have a grand reception on Thursday, and will make a short speech, but not on political matters. Ben. Wade and his family start to-morrow morning for their homo in tho Western Re serve, Ohio. Ben. But'.cr left for Lowell, Muss., on tho evening train. Thnd. Stevens will not leave for several clays, having considerable business to do ut the Departments for his district. (From tho N. Y. Tribuno 'I lie I'rcxiat'iK-y. Facts for the Peoplo Col fax !

At the Democratic ratification, in Rich mond.

The papers announce the portrait of Frank Blair, taken in 15 different positions. There is ouo characteristic conimou to them all ; in every position ho is in pursuit of ollice. When Horatio Beyinour said ho must "stand upon his convictions of duty and houor against the world," ho did not antici pate YtillaDdighaiu and Pendleton both coming out for him. Against "the world" he stood it vory well, but "the flesh of the devil" weru too much for hint. It took tho Democratic National Conven tion three days to nominate a condidate, but only three minutes to pass a resolution requesting President Johnson to Dardon Jetr. Davis. A Western paper says that the Democrats in Indiana are so enraged at tho defeat of Pendleton, that they actually show symp toms of oppoplexy if a greenback is exhibit ed to them. Tho Deraocratio National Convention opened an eloquent prayer by tho Rev. Mr. Morton, and closed with eloquent curses, not loud but deep, by tho swindled Pendle tonians. The Cc-mmontccaUh says : "We are ex pecting every day to bear some enthusiastic Democrat give as a reason for Colfax's un fitness for tho Vice-Presidency, tint ho never was drunk iu his life." Miles O'Reilly ho who writes verses in piuise of Graut calls Seymour "an ayyle of gold in a basket of silver." Say a basket of greenbacks, Mi!os, and you havo it right. But O, what nu npplo rotten to tho core ! Mr. Pendleton, with his theory ot unlimi ted greenbacks, clings around ! ho neck of Seymour like the Old man of the Sea on tho shoulders of Sinbad. Seymour is sure to bo choked unless ho breaks his tormentor's head. When people aro drowned, cannon aro sometimes fired for the purpose of rising their corpses. Tho Democrats havo been firing cannon over Seymour and Blair. But there is no hopes of getting their heads above water. Pollard, the Rebel author of "Tho Lost Cause." publishes another book. "Tho Lost Cause Regained," in which he says he is now "convinced thnt the truo case fought for in tho late war has uot been but, im meustirably or irrevocably, but is yet iu a condition to bo regarded by tho South an ultimate issue of the political contest," He had seen Blair's letter. At the Democratic ratification meeting in Fourteenth street, New York, Rev. Dr. Bow man, of North Carolina, said that "the negro was no moro like tho race that God had created in his image than a jackass was like a horse, or a carrion crow like an eagle." Thu Reverend Doctor was followed by Mr. Henry (Iwin, aouailnion and Jormcrhj a shire. This "hybrid," w ho was no moro like a man (a Democratic man) than "n jackass is like a horse,"grcntly edified thcDemocruts to whom ho "brayed." But what hhall be said of the Democracy when it nllows itself to be ad dressed by a "nigger VSaanlun L'ejmUi can. An old soldier who has lost an arm says : "I am waiting to see If tho people of this country are going to elect Horatio Seymour, and if they do I will swear that I lost my arm in a threshing-machine, not in defonsc ot my country." A New York paper savs that Blair takes whisky for medicinal purposes. 7h lltrt- ! ford port says: "Wo are inclined to think it tra.i "for medicinal purposes" to wit, for corns. Ho was dreadfully corned all the , time ho was here." i Doolittle, too, says that Seymour fought tho battle of Gettysburg. Well, if ho did he had a very queer way of talking about that exploit in the famous 4th of July speech delivered in New-York, whilo tho 'fighting was going on in Pennsylvania. Tun CharksfoirnlS. O.) Xiirt says : "Give us but a little warning, and the young Dem ocracy of Charleston will prove to their delegates that they have fire and vigor enough to make our victory certain." Sure ly, these aro chickens of the old Rebel Democracy. Tim Detroit Pont says : "Tho Democratic party proposes to run the Presidential race with a three-legged horse. Seymour is the 'bloated bondholders' ' candidate. Blair is the candidate of tho revolutionists. Their platform is the candidate of tlie remiilia- I tionists." Many of the delegates and visitors at the Democratic Contention in this city com pluined bitterly becauso tho price of whis ky was put up to 15 cents a during tho Convention. But they took their re venge in nominating Blnir. Ho will put whisky down in spite of Now-York. The Sing Sing Pi'puUifan, speaking of the third-party movement, wants to know if a fourth party can't be gotten up for Andy J. In which caso wo could have Grant fighting on tho "square," Chase "catacor nering," Andy on the "circulur," and Sey mour dodging in and out." It has been stated that Gov. Seymour never originated anything. This ia a mis take, for hu was the first to inform Presi dent Lincoln "thnt it was believed by at least one-half of tho peoplo of the loyal States that the conscription oft was in it self a violation of tho supicme constitution al law." The I'os'oii Pest complains of the vigorous manner in which tho Republicans conduct tho campaign, and says : "Tho blood hounds havo been let loose." To which The Transcript responds: "Yes, and be fore tho campaign closes our neighbor will sen tho foxy Seymour loso his brush, and tho wolfish Blair, his ears." An exchange says: "Gen. Grant and the Democracy have dono a great deal of business together within tho p.ist few years, (ien. Grant has dono the tanuinrjr, and the Democrats liave furnished tho hides ! They banded in two moro last week th()50 of Horatio Seymour and Frank P. Blair. They will be dono eurly in November. Gov. Seymour said that his privato honor would not permit him to became a candi date for the Presidency. Ho said, also, that public honor required the scrublous fulfill ment of our financial obligations. His piivato honor, however, did not preveut him form becoming a candidate. Is his regard for public honor no greater ? . (Jen.
