The Seymour Letter of Acceptance.
IIobatio Sbtmour's letter of aooeptanoe is s
pcaroelv lees remarkable document than the
pronunoiamento issued by Frank Blatr as a
ild for the favor of the Tammany Hall Con
vention. Both the Democ ratio candidates are
trained and active politicians, possessing a
quality highly prized by the party which
nominated them a strong disposition to
."work" for their eleotion. By mutual oon"
Bent, or, at all events, by an arrange
ment that oan scarcely be considered
aooidestal, they have made an impar
tial division of their labors. It is
the task of Blair to satisfy the Rebels that the
Demooratio party is prepared and anxious to
go as far as the farthest to gratify their wishes.
This being the most obnoxious duty, yet at
the same time one of the most necessary, on
aooount of the exaoting disposition of the
Southern Demooracy, it was appropriately
Undertaken by Blair, partly as an act of
penanoe for his services as a Union soldier,
and partly because the Rebels acquired such
a profound oontempt daring the war
for their Northern sympathizers that it
la doubtful whether they would have
attached sufficient credence to any
assurance given by an anti-war Democrat.
Blair, however, has fully accomplished his
Bhare of the "work," for his letters, in adii.
tion to Wade Hampton's plank in the Demo
oratio platform, pronouncing the reconstructed
governments null and void, supplemented by
Seymour's cordial aooeptanoe of the platform,
hare removed all doubts and fears from Rebel
minds, and there is not in this broad land a
Single unrepentant foe of the Union who glories
in the lost cause and hopes still to make it
triumphant that will not support the Demo
oratio ticket.
Seymour's task is widely different. It is
bis objeot to win the support of conservative
Republicans. He is not oontent with simply
endorsing the Demooratio platform and an
nouncing his willingness to aot as their candi
date, but he proceeds, in a letter of unusual
length, to console himself for the privation, to
Whioh he feelingly refers, of being excluded
from an active part in the pending canvass,
by a formal indictment of the Republican
party, whioh is especially framed to persuade
those who have not fully sympathized with
the radical Republicans that they oan safely
trust Horatio Seymour. When it is remem
bered that the notorious Ohio agitator,
Vallandigham, first insisted upon Seymour's
nomination, and that his record is such as to
inspire the confidence of the most virulent
of secessionists, the boldness of the imposture
he has attempted will readily be understood.
The petty ward politician who is committed
on the one hand by pledges and ties he would
never dare to violate; but who courts, to de
ceive, a rival and hostile interest, finds a
worthy exemplar in Horatio Seymour. Con
servative Republicans who listen to the voice
of such a charmer must be weak indeed, for
nothing oan be more apparent than that the
Demooratio Presidential nominee is one of the
most prejudiced and ultra supporters of the
decrees of his party.
A large portion of the letter of aooeptanoe
is devoted to an insidious denunoiation of the
reconstruction policy of Congress, and espe
cially of the admission of the new Southorn
representatives and Senators. It is worthy of
notice that Seymour couples this denunciation
with a cowardly hint that, even if he was
elected, he would not attempt to remedy the
evil he deplores, for he says that "the eleo
tion of a Demooratio Exeoutive and a majority
of Demooratio members to the House of Re
presentatives would not give to that party
organization the power to make sudden or
Violent changes," a sentence which is designed
to throw doubt upon his readiness to pursue
the revolutionary policy prescribed by Blair
and virtually approved by the Demo
cratic platform, for it demands that
a Demooratio Executive shall overthrow the
reconstructed Governments. The adroit New
York politician apparently desires that two
interpretations shall be placed upon his let
ter, and he has availed himself of the power
of language to conceal his thoughts with
Skill that Van liuren could not nave ex
celled. On the one hand the Southern Rebels
Will point to his denunciation of the reoon.
Struoted State Governments as a positive
proof that he is determined to spare no
efforts to destroy them; and on the other
the conservative Republicans of the North
Will be assured that he would not counte
nance any "sudden or violent changes,
The New York World has advocated aoqui
escence in the adjustments of Congress
and Seymour apparently acknowledges the
foroe of the World s argument; but it is known
that the judgment and wishes of the Demo
cratio party are almost unanimously against
a recognition of the reconstruction polioy, and
Seymour is too faithful a partisan to oppose
the wishes of the mass of his politioal aaso
elates. There is on this question none of the
outspoken frankness of Blair, but a miserable
juggle designed to leave the publlo "still in
doubt whether the snake will wire in or wire
out."
The climax of Seymour's denunoiation of
the new Southern representatives is that
"they cannot live in the States they claim to
represent without military protection." If
this be, as in some instances it possibly is
trae, what a fearful oommentary does It afford
upon the ferocity and fiendishness of Sey
mour's Southern supporters I The drift of
his argument Is that inasmuoh as the Rebels
are determined to kill every man who op
poses their reaoquisitlon of absolute power,
the nation should therefore tamely ac
quiesce in their demands. This is
the old question of the war over
again. While it lasted the Rebels endeavored
to kill every man who attempted to enforoe
the national authority, or to reoapture stolen
forts and custom-houses. Since that form of
hostility has been subdued it has taken the
modified shape of opposing to the death any
political organization that would not leave the
entire South under Rebel rule; but the foes of
treason and secession are struggling to com
plete their work by scouring the infusion of a
loyal element in Southern politics, and every
true friend of the Union desires that these
efforts should be crowned with suooess.
The financial question Mr. Seymour does
not disouss. He has lately authorized a state
ment that he never owned a single Five-twenty
bond, and he probably considers this state
ment, joined to his endorsement of the Demo
oratio platform, a sufficient evidence of
his support of the Pendleton system
of paying the publio debt in green
backs; while, on the other hand, his
speech before the New York Convention assem
bled, will be cited as proof that he thinks the
bonds should be redeemed in gold. Here is
another deception, and another double bid for
the Presidency.
Gold.
What perturbations have been caused by this
auriferous artiole sinoe its disoovery and use
by man t What watchful fidgetty days and
nights has it occasioned in this country sinoe
the breaking out of the war 1 What predic
tions as to its ultimate value; what prognosti
cations as to its future decline; what strange
changes ! When gold had reached the high
est point attained du ring the war, real estate
could have been purchased at one-half, and in
many instanoes one-third less than it can now
be bought for. How bulls and bears have
exhausted every argument for its rise and fall,
and how it has constantly disappointed them
both I When California disclosed her golden
treasures, many eminent political economists,
M. Michel Chevalier, for example, supposed
that its value would be depreciated, from the
amount that would oome into use by reoent
discoveries; but such is the ourious nature o
this article, or so much is political economy
as yet at fault, that no certainty has as been
arrived at as to its positive value.
Perhaps in our country, where it has be
come an article of merchandize, in conse
quence of its no longer forming the circulating
medium, its value is regulated by the supply
and demand, like all other artioles of this
character. When cotton bills are scarce, or
bonds are not being shipped in large quanti
ties, of course gold must take their place.
We have known some of the shrewdest brokers
to be as completely at fault in venturing pre
dictions on the premium above paper money,
as some of the most ignorant in money
matters. There are only some circumstances
connected with gold that oan with any cer
tainty be asserted of it. Thus, the reason
why there 1b such an unprecedented accumu
lation at the present time in the banks of
France and England is due to the apprehen
sion about war entertained by the capitalists
of Europe. Whether there will be war Boon
or not, this fear prevents capital from seeking
ventures which, in ordinary times, it would do.
When the war broke out between Prussia
and Austria gold rose in value in this country,
from the fear of our securities being sent back.
The same feverish cause may even now foroe
it to rate at a higher premium than it other
wise might; but such calculations might easily
be upset in the event of another European
war breaking out. instead oi our seouriues
being Bent home for Bale there might be a
great demand for them; firstly, in consequence
of the greater rate of interest they pay; and,
secondly, because our country being far re.
moved from the theatre of war oilers additional
safety. We venture, however, no predictions,
and we merely think the latter contingency is
as likely to be realized as the former. In com
mon with the great mass of consumers we, of
course, do not desire to see the premium at a
high rate, and also because we desire the
credit of the Government to be sustained.
During the Napoleonio wars gold rose in Eng
land to 40 per cent., or a shade over. When
Napoleon Bonaparte assumed regal power he
caused a return to speoie payments, regard
less of all consequences to the paper ourrenoy
of France.
One of the profitable incidents of Napoleon's
wars was the management on part of the Roth
Bchilds of a quantity of gold. The transaction
was in this wise. The English Government
determined to dispose of a quantity. The old
Rothschild, who was then living, felt sure the
Government would afterwards require it, and
he bought it. Sure enough, they did require
it; but the best of the transaotion, as he re
lated, was the transmission of this gold to the
Duke of Wellington in Spain. Rothschild
undertook to convey It, and did so, through
France, and ever after said that it was one of
the most lucrative and suooessful acts of his
life. Until reoently gold was at a high pre
mium in Austria, and it is at a considerable
premium even now in Italy.
Thk United States Sdfbeme Court has
again formally and explicitly declared the or
diuame of secession null and void. In the re
oent case of White vs. Cannon, In error to the
Supreme Court of the State of Louisiana, Mr,
Justice Field, in delivering the opinion of the
Court said: "The objection that the Judgment
of the Supreme Court of Louisiana Is to be
treated as void, because rendered some days
after the passage of the ordinance of secession
of that State, is not tenable. That ordlnanoe
wag an absolute nullity, and of Itself alone
neither a Heeled the Jurisdiction of that Court
nor lu relation to the appellate power of this
Court."
Tna Irish Church. One of the most potent
argument of the opponents of the Irish Church
Establishment Is found in Its vast riches. They
call attention to the following figures, which
represent the amount of assets left by each of
twenty Irish bishops who died since 1822. The
turn does not inolude any real property the de
ceased may have purchased, nor any settle
menu he may have made on members of hit
lamlly, nor any stock he may have transferred
to avoid legacy duty or to avoid the name of
having died too rich for a bishop:

California Democracy Is made up some
what after the Dixie pattern. "It Is," says the
Sacramento Union, ''anolloeablefaotconneoled
with nearly all the Demooratio meetings wuioh
have been held in California since tbe nomloa
tion of the Tammany revolutionary ticket, that
the leaders Marshals, Presidents, Vice-Trent

From 1801 to 1867, these fellows were compelled
to "sing low" in California. This year, tbty are
again out in full feather, and the loyal Demo,
crecy which can't take down their egotisms
without signs of protest, has to take a back
teat. If the Tammany Convention was ruled
by Henry A. Wise, General Forrest, the Kbett
crowd from South Carolina, Rebel Commis
sioner Ould, and other prominent pardoned
traitors, why should not the party in California
submit to the yoke of understrappers of the
same sort?''

Which is Right? Democratic orators and
editors tell us the bonds are held by the rich,
While the poor pay the taxes. Seymour says
the bonds "have gone iuto the bands of inno
cent holders, who, to a vast amount are ooiu-
pule-ory owners. It la a tnlitlc. to suppou
that they are mostly lit Id by capitalists."
HABEAS CORfUS.
Eelease of tbe ami Prisoners.
Tbe Cuaileoton (8. C.) News pays:
The chance from military to civil rule induced
the counsel of the Camden prisoners, accused of
the murder ot Dill, to sue out a writ ot habeas
corpus, wun a view ot ootatcnia tnetr release on
bail. The application waa hHnra at urangeburs,
before Judcre Glover, In Chambers, on Friday
morniner, at 130 o'clock. Some sixty or seventy
atlidavits, all troni persons ot respectability in
Kershaw District, proving an a'ibi In each case,
were produced. These were responded to by
twenty or thirty atlidavits, with three excep
tions, from colored persons. The whites were
Mr 8. Dill, and Mr. and Mrs. Taj lor. Counter
atlidavits were produced by the counsel for
the prisoners, and Mr. De Pass stated that if any
doub's were still entertained, more than one
hundred atlidavits to the same effect could be
obtained by the next morning from the most
reliable men in Kershaw. Judge Glover took
home tbe papers from both sides, and reserved
bis decision until he could compare them. When
the case was resumed next morning he eranted
tbe application, and fixed the bail at $3000 each
tor the eleven white prisoners, and $300 for the
colored man, George Bowen. Captnu De Pass,
counsel lor the prisoners, arrived here on Sat
urday altrrnoon, and in less than an hour a
number of responsible sureties were obtained.

I be best of judges, to be worth at least $100,000,

BUTLER.
A Card from M Perry Falter.
In a letter to the New York World this morn
ing, Mr, Perry Fuller sayst
Will Mr. Butler plea-e state by whom the
charee is made that I stated that I had pat4
$12,000 and upwards for 8eta"or Kos' return to
the United 8tates Senatcf In rcplf to the above
charge I have simply to say that it is ftlne.
It would appear that the pure Senator from
Atrbeeon, Kansas (Pomeroy) was forced or
oorced to take his seat, and no mont or
influence was necessary to procure his
election. Now, I dll receive teletrrams
fiom Pomeroy, requests from Oajlorl,
aDd either lnends ot Pomeroy, to come
to Kant-as where his la t election wajppi dl .it.
Not one word did I receive by letter or despntca
from Ross to come to Kani-as; nor did I see Ro-s
after arriving at Toprka until a moment betote
tbe vote was token, and then on the siivet. If
Mr Butler bad called upon me lot iu'ormation
in reierence to m ney ma ters at Topcka, Kan-t-as,
I might, a ter a severe examination (i he
Mates about the $40,000), hve been compelled
to make 8' me statement not ul a. I pleasant tor
pubi. cation to the taste of a ceriin gentleman.
Un puee 0, Butler's report, J. V. Lennte s'ates
tliat u ruc-seuurr was scut to New York, which
he believes was Kuller, and I hut h? weut to New
York Mrv G. 1 did go to New York, h I s tiled
to the Committee, to attend a lawsuit, m
evidmro In offire of Cox & 111 ley, No. 137
Broadway, will th wj but never did 1 know of
aoy whisky seizure, or any biis ne.- ui that
nature. I never owned any wht-ky, or male
anv wlmkv contracts, dlrec'lv or indirectly.
On psee 4 Butler siates that Fullei pus-ed a
drHft ihroiikh the Treasury lor $17.916'10. of
date Slav 6. in stub ha te that, in his aonety to
rtceive the money, ho indorsed the draft of
Thomas Osborne, without pow-r ot attorney so
to do, elo, e c. Mr. Osborne Is now here, aod
states that I had hi authority to act f r htm,
wh ch statement I herewlih attich. As reiar.ls
the $1644oraii, relerted to ou pae 9, the courts
will hnvt tbat matter in cbatge, probably at an
caily dsy.
In conclusion, for the present (for there is
much moie to be said on this bubject), I would
state I am willing to eo before any committee
or uieei tie pur lies I re er to-, and tosupporttbe
statements I make. I have been advised to
make no reply to Butler's report, nor auy refer
ence to Senator Pomeroy, a their course wouli
deleat measures I bad beiore Coneress; but I
think the Government is responsible fribepny
ment of contracts awarded by it, and will not
violate Its faith to please tbe mernber and
i-nator who have already, 1 leain, refused jus
tice to innocent holders ot indebteduess against
the Government. Threats in ado bv Geueral
Butler that I stall be deieate I and ruined In my
lesitimate business transactions will have no
effect on me.

MR. BEECIIER'S SUMMER SUIT!
One of the New York papers says that Mr. Beecber
Iseujoylug his summer vacation at his place la the
Country. "WEARING A LEG H IRS HA 1 1MB A
6EKKNE COUNTENANCE." This Is a very flue
rig for the summer; a Utile to j airy perhaps. Cheap
too.
Tbe coolest costnme we bave heard of Is that of a
gentleman who was found a few days ago "at five
o'clcck In the morning " on tbe step of rndpn
df nee t'quare, with nothing at all, wr atsovr. noon
him In the tlutbes line Ashe couldn't give a good
account of blmseif or his clothes, the police asked
blm to march along with them. He said be wouldn't.
The police were going to grab him by the co lar, and
mate him "move on " but. baving no collar en, they
failed to collar blm. At the latest accounts the man
had '-moved on." He isn't there any more.
We are doing our best to keep people nleely
clothed. Our prices are so low that there Is no rtasou
why at ybody shouid. as a general thing, go wUhout
having at least something on bis back.
Come and see how cheap oar splendid Clothes are 1

This Company, National In Its character,
oners, by reason of Us Large Capital, Low Katos
of Premium, and New Tables, the most desira
ble means of Insuring Hie yet presented to the
public.
The rates of premium, being largely reduced,
are made as favorable to the Insurers as those
of the best Mutual Companies, and avoid all
the complications and uncertainties of Notes
Dividends, and the misunderstandings whlon'
tbe latter are so apt tooause tbe Policy-llolder
. Several new and attraoilve labl -r now
presented which need only to be understood, to
prove acoeptable to tbe publlo, such as the
INCOME PRODUCING! POLIOY and RETQUN
PREMIUM POLICY. In the former, the
policy-holder not only secures a life lnsuranoe,
payable at death, but will receive. If living,,
after a period of a few years, an annual incenna
equal to ten per cent. (10 per cent.) of the par of
hi policy. In tbe latter, tbe Company agrees to
return to the assured the total amount of money
he hat paid in, in addition to the amount of hi
polUy.
Tbe attention of persons contemplating in
surlug tbeir lives or increasing the amount oj
Insurance they already have, Is called to the
speoial advantages offered by the National Life
lnsuranoe Company.
