Ohi of the moBt significant and Important In dication b of tbe opinions held by Horatio Sey mour 1b given by a passage In the "Diary, North and South," published by W. II. Ras sell, the correspondent of the London Times, who Tlsited this country In 1S61. Ia describ ing a dinner party at New York In the early part of that year, he says: "Tbe occasion oflered melf in Mr; Horatio Bcymoor to Rive Due bis views of the Conalllu tlou of l be United States aud by Uo ret s too tbeme spread over toe table. Toerewtg not a Wian who maintained that tbe Govern ment bad any power to coerce tbe people nt a Biate, or to force a Hi ale lo remain Id tbe Union or antler tbe aoilou of tbe Fedoral Uoveininint. Although tbey no mined tbe 8 unborn lenders bad meditated ine treason against the Union jears hro, l. ey could not brlug thetn Selves lo allow tUeir ' Id opponents tbe ReDttb Ucttus, uowln power, to dispose of me armed force of the Union agtlnxt tbeir brotonr D-tdo-crals In IbeBouihern SIhU-8. Mr. Hey moor Itt a inun ol corn promise but. bis views g') fur ther than those wnlcu wpr entertained oy rils party two yearn ago. Although tc.ce.ixion would produce revolution, tt was nevertheless, in hit opinion, a rivht, founded on abxtrnct principles, which could icarcr-.ii be abrogated with due regard to the original compact " Skillful professors of comparative anatomy are able to judge, from a few bone, the char acter of any animal, and those familiar with the political history of this oouotry can glean from the foregoing extract a volume of infor mation in regard to the views of the Demo cratic candidate for President. When we are told that he deuied the right of the Govern ment to ooerce a rebellious State, that he was one of a party which "could not bring themselves to allow their old opponents, the Republicans, to dispose of the armed force of the Union against their brother Democrats in the Southern States," and that be believed that "secession was a right, founded on abstraot prlnoiples, which oould scarcely be abrogated with due regard to the original oompaot," we oanuot help peroeiving that he was a true disoiple of the miserable old Bohool of Northern men with Southern princi ples, and a supporter of the opinions which tended more than anything else to precipitate the Rebellion, for the Southern traitors would not have commenced their war fare againit the Republic if they had not ex pected their Northern allies to divide, and thus render LelplesB the people of the loyal States. At one period comparatively little attention was given to the abstract opinion3 held by public men iu regard to the right of Secession, bat it baa been clearly demonstrated that the belief that the Union could be rightfully severed had a mighty Influence in reoruiting the ranks of the Rebel armies, and in sweeping away the old landmarks of loyalty in the South, and that the doctrines avowed by Mr. Seymour in 18C1 are the most dangerous that have ever been held in this country. They have cost more money and more lives than all other heresies combined, and as the men who cherish them belong to a class which prides itself upon consistency, they would not hesitate, notwith standing the bitter experience of the past, to reaffirm their disorganizing and destructive doctrines if a favorable opportunity was pre sented at some future period. Henry A. Wise only gave utterance to the general opinion of the Rebel leaders when, in criticizing the Democratic platform, he said "seoeBsioa is not dead," and in expressing his entire confi dence in Seymour he was no doubt aware of Seymour's cordial endorsement of the secession heresy. Of all Bingular, contradic tory, and unwise things nothing oould be more inconsistent and dangerous than the election of the Democratic Presidential candi date, in view of the opinions we have quoted. It is not probable that an intelligent people, after fighting and conquering in a long war, costing billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives, mainly to establish the doctrine that the Union is indestructible, will finally close the contest by electing to their highest office a believer iu the traitorous dogma that the nation is always at the mercy of its traitorous foes. What to Ileud, and How. Tub prevailing style of light literature is often very eevertly criticised as exerolsing an in jurious effect upon the reading oommunity; but it is not so much what is read, as how it is read that causes the evil. The best book Bkimmed over hastily and thrown aside like a broken toy, which has furnished pastime for au idle moment, may have a more injurious effect upon the mind than even the silliest trifle perused seriously. The comparatively few hours that are allot ted in any life to severe study are not suffi cient for educating the intellect into habits of attention, cultivating the memory and im proving the taste, and any employment of leisure which interferes with these acquire ments is thus far a hindrance to intellectual improvement. A mathematician would net permit himself to find relaxation in a false and careleBB calculation; then why should any one who aims at a considerable degree of mental education "gobble" up a book merely beoause It is a novel. ':'.... Many parents are much to blame la per mitting the acquirement of indolent andoareless habits in this respect. The girl or boy who Las been oonflued all day to unattractive school Studies, will crave food for the imagination. ; It is a natural wane, and must be supplied, bnt as careful a supervision is necessary here as in any other branch of education, (live a child it good wholesome novel, and fortunately such are to be found among the choioest works of the language, and - he will not seek in after time for relaxation and enjoy ment in a trashy "yellow cover." There need be none of that officious interference whioh so much detracts from the enjoyment of an inno cent pleasure, but an occasional word of oriti cl8m, or a question upon style, or the compa rative merit of authors, will awaken attention and excite interest without making the ohild feel any of the irkaomeneBS of ft "lesson," while, at the same time, it shows that ft book worthy of ft place in the parent's memory is worthy of ft oareful perusal by a child. A prudent friend was earnestly remonstrat ing with a mother for permitting ft girl of seventeen to devour with ravenous appetite the contents of ft publio library, aud the mother's answer was: "Oh, it is no matter what she reads, she forgets it as soon as the book is closed." If that were indeed the case, that young girl should be rigorously de barred from all light literature, but it would be far better for her mind to be fallow until riper years bring maturer judgment than to allow her mind to be deteriorated by so de structive ft habit. But there Is too general a belief that suoh reading has no effect either for good or bad, as if the habit of mental in attention were not ft mo3t serious fault, and one almost impossible to correct. The reading of all imaginative works is so generally considered as a mere pastime, or the indulgence of an nnoooupied moment when mental or physical fatigue prevents their em ployment, that many people, even of conside rable culture, are not ashamed to confess that they have read the last novel at a gallop. For a mature man or woman to avow freely that they have "rushed through" a story to get to the end seems a lament able confession of weakness, revealing either an unbalanced brain, great mental indolenoe, or illiterate taste. To the educated reader the style of a book, the method upon whioh it is constructed, the artiatio evolve men t of the plot, the mere mechanical portions of the authorship are in themselves suoh a subject of interest as to exolude the feverish desire for the mere incident of whether the heroine dies of a broken heart or is happily married in the last chapter. The man who sits up all night to unravel the involvements of Wilkle Collins, or the woman who "had to" finish Natalie, will rise from the perusal as if from a dose of opium, and, we fear, unable to ex plain wherein lies the peculiar charm of either author. As a general rule th b 3St novels are not of this engrossing character. Those that live a3 the chosen embodiment of the intellect and imagination of the period in which they were written are not actually sensational. Of course we must allow for the peculiarities of the vari ous epochs, but yet they were not regarded in their own day as narratives of absorbing in terest. They are descriptive and natural,exhibit ing men and things as tbey really exist and bo accepted by the foremost intellects of tbe period. The human mind craves notion by a natural and healthy instinct, and the greatest intel lects of every age have produced it, either iu prose or verse. High or low, true or false, every individual seems to demand it. The desire should, therefore, not be treated with contempt, but cultivated to the highest capa city for good. Let good books be well read, carefully perused, without that apologetlo haste which seems to be begging pardon for wastiag time on "only a novel." This form of fiction has been the chosen me dium of the beat thinkers, and also of some of the noblest preachers; let it hold, then, its own true and high position. Those that doubt the truth of the assertion ought not to read them. If ft thing is worth doing at all it is worth doing well, and if novels are not worth reading carefully they ought not to be read at all. ' Uknky A. Wish has always been figurative. Long ago he astounded ua by making the Allegheny Mountains tower to the heavens for the express purpose of milking the clouds. Tbat was tbe height of the sublime; but now he condesoends to every-day talk when he accepts the Democratic nomination beoause "straws show how the wind blows." This is certainly not very complimentary to Seymour, hinting pretty broadly that his form of seoes sioniEm can be tolerated by the South beoause even the way a straw, or a straw-man, tends will show the direction of an expeoted storm. Eemmes, the pirate, too, can aooept the nomination as a hopeful sign of the times, and vow his allegiance to the flag not the star spangled banner that now floats in the breeze, but the flag as it will be after the Democratic ticket is elected. Wade Hampton eulogizes White's battal lion (Maryland troops) for always being in the front, and advises them that the daring, courage, and devotion with which they then met their invading foe must be turned with equal fidelity to the duties of peaoe, and the best way that they can perform this work is to vote for Seymour and Blair. If the badly reconstructed continue to say more and blare in this fashion about the coming revolution, the people will remember another old adage forewarned is forearmed. A Short Memory. A leading Demooratio journal says that the faot that General Lee some years ago surrendered his sword to General Grant, is ft very insufficient reason for makirg Grant a Presidential candidate. ! The singular indefiniteness of that much used word some, seems to be a good means of pre paring the way for passing an aot of oblivion over the great events of the last decade. If the war is now treated as an event that occurred some years ago it may presently be forgotten entirely. -- --1 Qdkby. If the war was "a failure." as tbe Democratic party doo'ared In WH, why are they po anxious to prove that Seymour was la favor Tub Tbbatt with Chiha, recently negotiated by Seoretary Seward and Minister Burllngame and his Chinese companions, was ratified by the Senate, at half-past eleven o'olock last night, after being nnder consideration and dis cussion for nine hours. This is an event of more than ordinary importance, and we can afford to congratulate ourselves on the fact that, as ft nation, we have enjoyed the first privilege of entering into such amioable rela tions with the Celestial Empire. Pkymoub in 1881. In 1891 Bull Hun Ru'sell, of tbe London Timet, dined with Horatio Bey. mocr. In New York, and gave tbe following account of tbe conversation: "The occasion offered Itself to Mr. Horatio Seymour to give me his views of tbe Constitution of tbe United btales, and by degrees tbe tbeme spread over the table. . Tbere was not a man wbo maintained tbat tbe Government had any Cower to eoerce the people of a Stale, or to force a State to remain In tbe Union or under tbe action of tbe Federal Government. Although tbey admitted the Southern leader bad meditated tbe treason against tbe Uulon jeurs ago, they could not bring themselves to allow their old opponents, the Republicans now In power, to dispose of tbe armed foree of tbe Union agatntt taelr brother Democrats In tbe Southern States. Mr. Seymour Is a man of compromise, but bis views go further than those which were entertained by his party two years ago. Although secession would pro duce revolution, It was, nevertheless, In his opinion, a right, founded on abstract principles, which oould scarcely be abrogated with due res pect to the original compiot." Firk-eatinq Is still a passion to the semi reconstructed Journals of tbe South. It has taken a fresh start ulnco the Tammany Conven tion adjourned. The Vlksburg Herald Is an ex ample. It says: "Here Is tbe easy solution of all these troubles. We claim that we have these rights secured to ns by every law. Then let us execute them, and If they are prevented, let the onus rest upon those who Interfere. In other words, we owe It to ourselves to demand our rights and endeavor to exerolse them, otherwise tbey will never be forced upon us. It is the duty of the people of Mississippi to seat them selves square upon their rights at once." THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT. h. States Which Ilatlfled m.m& KOUS II.

Tale College Ureen. The New Haven Journal says: Yale College Is going to abut Itself up In a cloister, Instead of continuing to present tbat frank, open, ebeeiful face to tbe world that has made Us giounds so attractive. It Intends to dihtrry those old elm groves around whioh so many sacred memories cluster, and build up a line of brick and mortar barracks, with their back lo tbe street, to abut In the oeauty and re. Hutment of the college from the rude smeb of the outer world.

Tbe innovation is to be commenced at once, the const! uoiit not a brick dormitory, some 150 frt long, in frontof South Middle, within a few feet ol College street. It is expected that this artificial substitute for the Temple of Kims, which now adorn the College Ureeu will, iu the course of time, be supplemented by another dormitory, extended on the same line in tbe direction of Kim etreetr, separated from tbe first building byasnaoeof 176 feet, in which it la proposed lo erect, tbe Soldiers' Memorial Cbapel. Af'er tbe Kim and Cbapel street sides of this beautiful square will be Inclosed by other buildings, all the present cheerful .and beallby Academlo groves in whioh our citi zens lake mo much pride will be effectually de stroyed.
