This time I bid you GOOD-BYE, without a hope of ever meeting you again in the capacity, which I now, for a second time, sever. The years of incessant iabor which I have spent, for our mutual advantage, it is needless to say, have been, in very many respects, years of pleasure and profit. The only regret that I have is that so little has been accomplished. In every relation in life I invoke upon you, one and all, GOD'S choicest blessings. It is unnecessary for me to refer to my suocessor, who has been my companion in pleasure aud pain, "through good report and evil report" for three years and up am. "" - To my brethren of the PKESS, who have ever treated me with the greatest courtesy, 1 return my warmest acknowledgements and I assure them that they will ever find in me one who can appreciate their arduous labors. J. R. DURBORROW. Bedford, Pa. July 15, 1868. HORATIO SEYMOUR'S STATES MANSHIP. The Democrats, in selecting Horatio Sey mour as their candidate for President, urge his eminent fitness as a statesman for the high position. But in this particular his record falls far below that of General Grant, who has performed important civil duties since the close of the war, and has shown himself possessed of administrative ability equalled by but few men of the present age. Mr. Seymour s civil services have never been exercised out of his own State, he never having held aoy legislative or administra tive position under the National Govern ment. He has neither been in Congress nor in the Cabinet, and, in short, is nothing but a prominent State politician, the head and front of the Albany Regency. The whole civil career of Mr. Seymour, on which the claim of statesmanship rests, may be briefly and truthfully summed up as follows: 11c was in the lower branch of the New York Legislature from 1845, and was defeated for Governor by Washington Hunt in 1850, naming behind his ticket, the rest of which was elected. He was, however, elected Governor in 1852, the Pierce cam paign, but again ran IK haul his ticket. In 1854 he again ran for Governor, and was defeated by Myron 11. Clarke, said to be the weakest man ever nominated for Governor by the hig party in York. For the next eight years Mr. Seymour figured only as President of Democratic Conventions, and wrote a number of partisan letters, being entirely out of public life. In 1864 he again ran for Governor, and was elected over General \\ adswortb. It was during this term as Governor of New York that he ad dressed the New York orphan asylum burners, and baby killers as "my friends,'* and virtually instigated these rioters in their antagonism to the draft which had been ordered by President Linooln. He also, whilst Governor, prophesied the defeat of the Union armies, declared the war a failure, and at the time of the July riots was in formed by General Dix that he had troops enough to take care of the rioters and of Mr. Seymour also. He sympathized with the rebellion in every way in his power during his whole term as Governor, and but *or the fall of 1 icksburg and the victory at oUysburg, at the time of these riots, wou undoubtedly have greatly embar nssty the Government in the further pros ecution o the war. His term as Governor close in 1864, when he was badly beaten by ticket ag4in running behind hia The whole civil service of Mr Seymour therefore, on which is based this claim of f fi? Sl tt DS nS' 13 a^°ut the same as that of the Hon. Thomas Swann, with the ex ception that he has never performed the important duties of Mayor of a city or President of a Railroad Company. He was four years m the House of Delegates, served two terms as Governor ofNew York with an interval of ten years in private life, and has three times been defeated in run ning for the same office. He has always run behind his colleagues on the State ticket, and hence has shown more popu larity with the political managers than with the voters of his own party. Of General Blair's statesmanship it is not necessary to speak.— Baltimore Amer ioun. A TEXT EXPOUNDED. TBc following is what the democratic party in their platform, first of all, demand: "First. Immediate restoration of all the states to their rights in the Union under the Constitution, and of civil government to tbc American people." It sounds well; but before approving it, there are reasons for wishing to know exactly what is meant by each of its general terms. What, in the democratic view, is "recon struction?" What are the "rights of the states?" What do they understand by "civil government?" For, while the democratic party in New York were mokingthis platform and demad ing "immediate restorat on,'' the democratic party in Congress were working unanimous ly to defeat the bill for restoring the rebel states, It is clear, therefore, that they do not mean by "restoration" the same thing that the people mean by it The difficulty seems to be satisfactorily met by the comments of the democratic leaders. The kind of restoration they de mand is thus described by Frank P. Blair, their candidate for vice President, in tbe letter which he wrote for the Convention: "We must have a President who will execute the will of the people by trampling into dust tbe usurpations of Congress, known as the reconstruction acts." But how to get a President who will dis perse and overthrow Congress, is a previous question. This is answered by Mr, Wade Hampton, who declared at the ratification meeting in this city, on Thursday last, that his party must seize tbe polls in the South, and have the white vote cast alone. He de clared: "I want you all to register an oath that when they do vote their vote shall be coun ted, and if there is a majority of white votes that you will place Seymour and Blair in the White House in spite of all the bayonets that shall be brought against them." Of course he means that the mob thus to be raised shall decide who has "a majority of white votes But this language was evidently careful ly adapted to the latitude and to the some what sensitive ears of Governor Seymour's "friends." Mob law has its charms for them; but they do not like secession. But when the delegates get to Richmond they tell the people morejplainly what the mean. Thus Ex-Confederate Governor Vance, of North Carolina, there said "he could talk more familiarly of the wrongs of the South here than at ahe North." Accordingly, he declared himself still "a rebel," and argued at length that 11 what the Confederacy fought for would be won by the election oj Seymour and Blair." ' , Indeed, in the Richmond atmosphere there is a disposition to simplyfy tbe canvass to this one issue—Seymour and the rebel lion against Grant and the Union. Thus Ex-Governor V ise, in his eloquent way, reasoned that since the candidates were ac ceptable to the rebels, the platform was of no account at all. "He did not care for the platform. It told a lie in its first resolution. It said se cession was dead; that was not so; secession was more alive than ever. He supported the nominees, and especially Blair, becauae he had declared that ne would assume mili tary power." Now Mr. Buckalew, Senator from Penn sylvania, rashly denounces Mr. Blair and his letter, and protests that the Democratic party does not, and cannot mean to sustain him ; and to make war against the South ern State Governments and against Con gress. Mr. Bucdalew is wrong. He stands entirely alone, and must either retract all this, and adopt Blair and aparchy, or leave 1 **J.ijai'pait.y ueuuelaiely oppose mi. wnoic process of legal reconstruction. They de mand "immediate restoration" instead. Mr. Blair alone points out a means of accomplish ing this, and so makes the platform practical. He did it in a letter which presented this as his claim to a nomination, and the party nominated him at once. His interpretation of its doctrines is sustained, clearly and emphatically, in New York, in the presence of the Convention itself, and by Democratic speakers throughout the country. Nor is the Democratic platform itself with out a very plain declaration on this point; or, at least, one that seems meant to be plain, the style of the whole document being so loose, ungrammatical and extravagant that there are few sentences in it which are really intelligible throughout. It declares: —"we regard the reconstruction acts (so called) of Congress, as such, as usurpation and unconstitutional, revolutionary and void." Now, the phrase "acts, so called, of Con gress, as such," may mean much or little. Perhaps the writer wanted to hint that the body now acting "as such" is not really a Congress, since those bright lights of democ racy—J. Davis, Toombs and Rhett —have left it But however this may be, there is no doubt that the sentence is a direct ap proval of Mr. Blair's letter. If the acts by which Congress has recon structed the southern states are "unconstitu tional, revolutionary and void," it is surely not the duty of the President to obey and enforce them. What can he do but "dis perse" the state governments, and "trample under foot'' Congress itself, as Mr. Blair declares it his purpose to do ? If there be any men of peace among the democrats, like Mr. Buckalew—any men of thought or of patriotism who are not ready? to fight for the confederacy undera changed name—the party will doubtless quietly let them leave it rather than abate one jot oi its revolutionary doctrine— Evening Post. WHILE the rebel Democracy never tire of heaping abuses on the head of Thaddeus Stevens, he occasionally wins a tribute from some honest enemy like the following from the Galveston (Texas) Bulletin : "While we disagree with him and dis approve of many of his projects, we cannot but admire his terrible earnestness. No man not thoroughly convinced of his own rectitude and of the innate wisdom of his acts, would, day by day, follow them out with such intense anxiety, while the clods of the grave were crumbling beneath his feet. Day after day he totters or is carried into the House, straining the brittle threads of life, for the purpose of accomplishing a political act —an act from which he can gain no possible good, but which he professes to believe necessary for the good of the country and of its people. No man can read the daily reports of Congress, and doubt the honesty of this old man nor the pureness of his motives, however much he may doubt their wisdom. Right or wrong, still the sight of Thaddeus Steavens, battling for that which he thinks is right, with scarcely an hour's lease of life, is one of the grandest views of human nature that the manhood 1 of the present century has afforded us." CONQRXSS has just passed a bill abol ishing the Freedmen'a Bureau, to take effect at the end of the present year. The Congressional plan of reconstruction having now successfully established civil govern ments in all but three of the States recently in rebellion the necessity for protecting the helpless freedmen ceases and the expense with it. But for copperhead opposition this action might have been taken long ago and all the States been restored long ere this. BLAIR AND REVOLUTION. Gen. Frank P. Blair is the Democratic nominee jfor Vice-President. Gen. Blair teas a Republican, but has, for the last two or three years, been a bitter Copperhead. The following letter of very recent date, embodies Gen. Blair's bid for the honor he has achieved. It will be seen that he takes ground distinctly for overturning the new State Governments at the South by force and violence. A Democratic "President elect" is to treat those governments as nul lities, employ the Army to overthrow them, and allow others to by set up wherein none but Whites are to have any voice. And then Congress is to be "reconstructed" ac cordingly. Hear him: WASHINGTON, June 30.— C01. Jut. O. Broadhead —Slß: in reply to your in quiries, I beg leave to say that I leave to you to determine, on consultation with my friends from Missouri, whether my name shall presented to the Democratic Conven tion, and to submit the following, as what I consider the real and only issue in this con test: The Reconstruction polilcy of the Radicals will be complete before the next election; the States, so long excluded, will have been admitted; suffrage established, and the carpet-baggers installed in their seats in both branches of Congress. There is no possibility of changing the political character of the Senate, even if the Dem ocrats should elect their President and a majority of the popular branch of Congress. We cannot, therefore undo the Radical plan of Reconstruction by Congressional action; the Senate will continue a bar to its repeal. Must we submit to it? How can it be overthrown? It can only be overthrown by the authority of the Executive, who is sworn to maintain the Constitution, and who will fail to do his duty if he allows the Constitu tion to perish under a series of Congression al enactments which are in palpable viola tion of its fundamental principles. If the President elected by the Demo cracy enforces or permits others to enforce Reconstruction acts, the Radicals, by the accession of 20 spurious Senators and 50 Representatives, wijl control both branches of Congress, and bis administration will be as powerless as the present one of Mr. Johnson. There is but one way restore the Govern ment and the Constitution, an that is for the President-elect to declare these acts null and void, compel the army to undo its usurp<ttions at the South, disperse the carpet bay State Governments, allow the White people to re organize their oven governments, and elect Senators and Representatives. The House of Representatives will contain a.majority of Democrats from the North, and they will admit the Representatives elected by the White people of the South, and, with the co-operation of the President, it will not be difficult to compel the Senate to submit once more to the obligation, of the Constitution. It will not be able to- withstand the public judgment, indistinctly invoked and dearly expressed on this fundamental issue, and it is the sure way to avoid all future strife to put this issue plainly to the country, I repeat that this is the real and only question which we should allow to control us: Shall we submit to the usurpations by which the Government has been overthrown, or shall wo exert ourselves for its full and complete restoration? It is idle to talk of bonds, greenbacks, gold, the public faith, and the public credit. What can a Demo cratic President do in regard to any of these, with a Congress in both branches controlled by the carpet-baggers and their allies? He trill be powerless to stop the supplies by which idle negroes are organi sed into political clubs —by which an army is maintained to protect these vagabonds in their outrages upon the ballot. These, and things like these, cat up the revenue and resources of the Government and destroy its credit, make the difference between gold and greenbacks. We must restore the Consti tution before we can restore the finances, and to do this we must have a President who will execute the will of the people by trampling into dust the usurpation of Con gress, known as the Reconstruction acts. I wish to stand before the Convention upon this issue, but it is one which embraces .i* * 4 . *ki *lna in jt< lftrilA thing that includes all that is worth a con test, and without it there is nothing that gives dignity, honor, or value to the strug gle. Your friend, FRANK P. BLAIR Americans! if you want another Civil War inaugurated, vote the Blair ticket! He tells you just how he will set it going. Mark him! BKICK POMEROV ON THE CANDI DATES OF THE NEW YORK CONVENTION. Hasty speeches are proverbially danger ous. Brick Pomeroy is an infallible author ity with the unterrified in this section. Jus t previous to the New York Convention, in discussing the merits of the various candi dates he commented upon Seymour as fol lows: Governor Seymour is trying to put the pub lic mind asleep upon the bond question, and leave the ploughholders to sweat, and stag ger, and starve, under the load of taxation, to pay the bondholders their semi-annual in terest in gold, and their taxes in addition, by telling the country that the financial question should not be brought into the canvass this year, that everything is well enough as it is, if you will only make the Government econ omize in its expenditures, and that a genera tion hence will be time enough to talk about the national debt. How false and deceptive! It takes one hundred and twenty-five millions in gold—say $175,000,000 in greenbacks, at the present depreciation—to pay the interest on the bonds. This load upon industry—this drain upon the resources of the ploughhold ers —Gov. Seymour proposes to continue with out change for a generation or morel Why? Because he has not courage to grapple with the question like a statesman and a patriot! And because the bondholders have got him in their toils, and are using him to uphold their interests, and enslave the ploughhold ers 1 Our Copperhead cotemporaries can take all the comfort out of that, that they can get. The valiant F. P. Blair is disposed of in the following laconic style. Has the Democratic party fallen so low as to be used by such creatures ? Is it so cra ven as to allow such fellows to say what it shall do or what it shall not do I One of these Blairs has the impudence to say that the party cannot be united on any one of the candidates already named—some new man must be taken up! Think of it! Look it over! 0, the sublimity of this fellow's con ceit! Where's Train? Send for Train ! He only can match him ! Verily Brick was a little too fast this time; he spoke too soon and will doubtless find it a little troublesome to reconcile such spicy comments, with the fulsome adulation that he will now be called on to pay these iflustritius candidates. Verily Miles O'Reil ly is not the only one who put his foot in it. A CHANCE FOB SPECULATORS.— The fol lowing evidently gratuitous advertisements are going the rounds of the press.

SIGNIFICANT. —The Charleston Mercury, a. paper which did as much, if not more, to bring about the Rebellion, than any other jour nal in the Sontb, in a late article, asks why another rebellion should not be inau gurated should Seymour be elected. It takes its cue from Frank Blair's bid for the Demo cratic nomination. Significant, ain't it? Peace men, look at ill TO THE RETURNED VETERANS OF PENNBLVANIA. Speech of General Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, at the Democratic Soldiers' arid Sailors Convention in New York. Mr. Woodward, of Pennsylvania, presen ted the committee from the Convention of the Soldiers and Sailors. They were requested to take positions on the platform. This is the same gentlemen who, while Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, decided that you soldiers had no right to tote, and that the draft to fill your regiments was unconstitutional. Mr. Ewing said: If it were appropriate for me, it would be impossible for lack of voice to express this convention the thank fulness which I, and the members of the con vention, and of the committee, feel for the cordial and enthusiastic manner of this recep tion. We feel that the members of the two conventions, however widely separated their paths may have been in the past— meaning the paths through Virginia and Georgia— will march henceforth in one line. [Ap plause.] We earnestly wish to accomplish the purposes of the war, as we understand them [applause]—the truly cordial, unconditional restoration of this Union. [Applause.] We have no sympathy for those purposes that have been falsely and dishonestly substituted by the Republican party tor the avowed- ob jects of the war. [Applause.] We care not for the dogma of negro suffrage; we abhor their measure of wliite disfranchisement. [Applause.] We look upon them as enemies of the Republic, when we see them endeavor ing, by means of that power which a great, coufidiug people submitted to them, to under mine and overthrow the settled foundation of our Government. [Applause.] We cannot we shall not associate with them longer. [Applause.] We earnestly wish to associate with the great body of the Democratic party, North and South [applause], with thousands against whom we fought during the war [ap plause]— meaning rebels who starved your comrades to death at Andersonvillc— with thousands who, perhaps, felt coldly in the North towards the Union cause while the war went on— meaning the Nothern Copperheads who cal led you Lincoln's hirelings, cheered for Jeff Davis, shot down your comrades in the streets of Baltimore and New York, and hanged innocent negroes to street lamp posts — with all of those who now cordially accept as the established theory of the Constitution that the Union is unseverable, and who will stand by and defend the Constitution as interpreted by the Government and the Supreme Court. [Applause.] Since our meeting here we have had the pleasure of friendly inter course— meaning champagne-drinking and hand shaking with men who murdered your com panions in cold blood at Fort Pillow— with ninny of the most prominent generals of the Confederate army [applause.] "Confederate" is a pleasant term for "reb el." Knowing them to be men of honor, who stole the boots and coats of Union pris oners, shipped infected clothing to Northern cities, and attempted to destroy the city of New York by incendiarism, comparing views with them, and feeling that their views and our views as to the present and future policy of the Government coin cide, we will take them by the bands as brothers [applause] the hand yet red with the blood of the im mortal Lincoln. Forgetting past issues and passions, we will recognize as political enemies only those who are plotting to overthrow the Union of the States and our constitutional form of Govern ment, and we will recognize as political friends all of those who will sustain ns in en deavoring to overthrow that party. [Ap plause.] —meaning the great party which sustained you during the whole war. I thank you, gentlemen of the convention, for the very enexpected honor of being called ugon to address you, and beg you will excuse Three cheers were then given for General Ewing. W. I). Dowdell, of California, offered the following resolution, which was adopted : Jlexolced, That the address of the Soldiers' and Sailors, Convention, just read, be re ceived and entered upon minutes of our pro ceedings, and become a part aud parcel of the proceedings of this convention. In the name of the veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic we thank you, Gen. Ewing, for you frankness. — Philadelphia Pres. Till DIFFJBKBNCJE. Many people are at a loss to account for the declension of so many from the Republican ranks especially of those who came over during the war. Rut it can all be accounted for on principles as old as creation. The man who holds true Republican views occupies of necessity a higher moral position from which in the weakness of his human nature he is at all times liable to fall, and nothing but contin ual effort and advancement can keep him in that position. The moment he begins to decline his natural tendency by force of moral gravitation is toward copperheadism. On the contrary to rise from copperheadism to Republicanism requires a vigorous and sustained effort toward moral elevation and the moment the effort ceases, the subject inevitably falls back to his old condition. Many, who, quickened by love of country during the war, rose for the time to the ranks of Republicanism, lacking the stimu lus of the country's imminent danger to sustain them, will backslide and return to their old level and their last estate will be worse than their first because more hope less. W. B. MANN AND ISAAC HAZLEIUTRST the rival Republican candidates for the District Attorneyship in Philadelphia have both withdrawn. The withdrawal of Mann indicates the complete triumph of the re form movement over the ring and Hazel hurst's withdrawal will enable the party to put in nomination a candidate acceptable to the whole party, completely heal all dissensions and enable us to roll up an over whelming majority in Philadelphia at the coming election.

The San Francisco Bulletin says:—"An earthquake wave which followed the recent eruption in the Sandwhieh Islands was trans mitted to this coast and recored on the Government self registering tide gauges at San Franoisco and Astoria in about five hours. On the 23 of December, 1854, a similar wave was transmitted from the coast of Japan to the Golden Gate in 12 hours and 38 minutes. It will be recollected that this earthquake wave caused the wreck of the Russian frigate Diana in the port of Simoda and great loss of life. These facts, which are derived from the best authority, convey a very impressive idea of the tre mendous power required to disturb the whole body of an ocean, for a distance of from 3000 to 5000 miles, by a movement distinct from its ordinary tidal swing. It will be seen that the revulsion of the gTeat tidal wave at Hawaii reached the coast, distant over 2000 miles, in five hours, and was observed along a stretch of shore over 13 geographical degrees in length." There are said to be three Governors in South Carolina, and it is difficult to tell which is the real one—Canby Orr Scott. The Jews of Memphis have pronounced against Grant. It is not the first time the Jews denounced a Saviour. GENERAL GRANT. A DEMOCRATIC OPINION OP HIS "SOLID PUBLIC SERVICES," THE "STEADINESS AND STAUNCHNESS OF IHB PATRIOTISM," AND THE "UPRIGHTNESS" OF HIS CHAR ACTER. General Grant's temporary acceptance of the War Department causes a stir in the Republican party, which confuses the cal culations of those Republicans who, five weeks ago, counted securely on his nomina tion as their cundidate for the Presidency. Those Republican newspapers, therefore, which, like the Time*, are trying to identify General Grant with the. Republican party, are opposing a strong presumption by the thinnest and feeblest of shadowy inferences. Gen. Grant, to be sure,/neors llee execution of the Reconstruction acts, but so also does President Johnson. As they do not differ on this point, they probably differ on none which is pertinent to the present posture of affairs. President Johnson would indeed have had no such laws passed as he feels constrained to execute; nor is there, any evi dence that Gen. Grant ever favored, or tried to promote their passage. President John son concedes that Congress has practical control of reconstruction by consenting to execute the laws it has passed on that sub ject; and Gen. Grant finding these laws in force, recognizes their authority, without going behind them to inquire whether they ought to have been enacted. There is no evidence that the President and Acting Secretary of War differ on any important practical question. The fact that the Trib une and other Republican journals object to Gen. Grant that he has never signified his assent to their principles, deserves notice and consideration. Of the steadiness and staunchness of Gen. Grant's patriotism, or the. uprightness and the solidity of his char acter, no man in the country doubts, nor af fects to doubt. The most perfect loyalty, then, may stand with the most absolute iu difference to those objects which the Repub lican party regards as supreme. Or, to ex press the same idea differently, devotion to Republican shibboleth is no test of devotion to the country. On the scare of loyalty aiul solid public services, no man in the country can come into competition with this illustrious sodier. But measure him by the usual Loyal League standards, and it requires a magnifying glass of very extraordinary pow er to discover that he has any merit of pa triotism at all. The Tribune is clamorous to have Gener al Grant show his colors and take sides iu the party squabbles of the day. We rejoice that there is one man in the country who is above the necessity of such belittling partisan ship. We trust that Gen. Grant loves his whole country; that he desires the good of all its citizens, without regard to any divi ding lines—whether they be lines of party, or section, or race, or color. It is the no blest reward of great services like his, that it exalts the character of this high level; that it enables a man to act nobly without appearing to be pretentious. Gen. Grant is under a moral necessity of respecting the great renown of his past services. It is be neath him to play any common part in vul gar politics. The Presidency can lie noth ing to him; he has a more valuable office. JSnt if in the hands of Providence, he. could he an instrument for tranquilizing the coun try, that is an honor for which he could af ford to sacrifice ease, congenial pursuits, and the responsibilities of greater fame as a sol dier. God forbid that he should descend into the arena of party contests. If he cannot be elected President without such a decent, he can do no good in the Presidency. Our torn, lacerated, exasperated country needs soothing, needs pacification, needs oil on the troubled waters, which still toss and dash after the recent tempest. We would no more have General Grant become a par ty politician than, if we had lived in Wash ington's time, we would have wished him to give and return party blows. As Wash ington was elected and re-elected on the strength of his character and services, with out pledges either asked or given, we trust that General Grant will be elected, if at all, in the same. Icay, and with the same gener ous confidence. Having restored the author ity of the Government, we hope that he may add the highest civic to the highest military fame, by restoring long lost cordiality of feel ing.—From the New York World. A Southern View~ol IKe Democratic Platform and Candidates. [From the Charlottesville (Va.) Chronicle.] We of the South have no interest in this debt. We hold none of the bonds. We were injured by its contraction, inasmuch as it was the means by which our liberties were wrested from us; but still, as we have in good faith gone back into the Union, wc are willing— not anxious, by any means—to have it fairly paid, because we want tho country to settle down into a condition of peace and prosperity, so that we can develop our own resources. On the whole, we think the platform satisfactory, although we would have preferred an explicit declara tion of the unconstitutionality of the recon struction acts of Congress, as that is a sub ject so vital to us that we cannot afford to risk any misconstruction. We could not have asked either, a soun der man on the questions in which the South is interested, than Mr. Seymour. While we have no sympathy with bondhold ing interest, with which we believe Mr. Sey mour is interested and preferred the views of Mr. Pendleton, the suffrage question is the one which overshadows all others, and we wanted to see the strongest man who was sound on that nominated, without reference to anything else. General Blair was an Abolitionist and a war man, but those are dead issues, aud if he was sincere in his recent letter, he will answer our purpose. The Funding Hill. The following is the lull text of the funding bill passed by the Senate at a late hour on Tuesday the 14th inst. after five days continuous debate: SECTION 1, Be it enacted, &c, That the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby author ized to issue coupon or registered bonds of the United States in such from and of such denominations as he may prescribe, re deemable in eoin at the pleasure of the United States, at twenty, thirty and forty years respectively, and bearing the following rates of yearly interest, payable semi-annually in coin, that is to say: The issue of bonds tailing due in twenty years shall bear inter est at five per centum; bonds falling due in thirty years shall bear interest at four and a half per centum, and bonds falling due in forty years shall bear interest at four per centum, which said bonds shall be exempt from taxation in any form by or under State, municipal or local autboiity, and the same and interest thereon, and income therefrom shall be exempt from payment of all taxes or duties to the United States other than such income tax as may be as sessed upon other incomes; and said bonds and proceeds thereof shall be exclusively used for redemption or payment, at option of the holder, or purchase of or exchange for an equal amount of any present interest bearing debt of the United States, other than the existing five per centum bonds and three per centum certificates; and may be issued to an amount in the aggregate sufficient to cover the principal of all out standing or existing obligations as limited herein and no more, but not to exceed $700,000,000, shall lie of the issue redeema ble in twenty years. SEC. 2. And be it further anacted that there is hereby appropriated out of the duties derived from imported goods the sum of $135,000,000 annually, which sum during each fiscal year shall be applied to the pay ment of interest and to the reduction of the 'principal of the public debt in such manner as may be determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, or as Congress may hereafter direct; and such reduction shall be in lieu of sinking funds contemplated by the fifth section of the act entitled "an act to author ize the issue of United State notes and for the redemption or funding thereof, and for funding the floating debt of the United States, approved February 25th, 1862. SEC. 3. And be it further enacted, that any contract hereafter made specifically payable in coin shall be legal and valid, and may be enforced according to the terms, anything in the several acts relating to United States notes to the contrary not withstanding; provided that this section shall not apply to contracts for the borrow ing of currency or the renewal or extension of an indebtedness under a contract already entered into, unless such contract originally required payment in coin. A Roman Catholic Council to meet in Rome on December 8, 186'J ; will be the first of the kind that has met since the Council of Trent in 1545. These council are coin posed of all the cardinals, patriarchs, arch bishops of Rome, and of the world, and arc designed to adjudge all questions of schism and heresy, belief and discipline which afiect the universal Church. The Pope in person, or by delegates, presides over the Council, and all questions are decided by a majority of the votes cast. General Councils do not create new dogmas, but only interpret and declare what was originally contained in the Scriptures and tradition, and according to the belief of the Roman Catholic Church are infallible couccrning matters of faith. Dissatisfaction iuthe Democratic Hanks. BALTIMORE, July 17. —There continues to be much excitement among the Demo crats regarding the nomination of the can didate for the Third Congressional District in opposition to Governor Swann, Ilebel General Wade Hampton spoke at the Democratic Headquarters, last night to a very large audience. All orators of this kind are eagerly picked up. There is a growing dissatisfaction among Democrats at the preference shown by their leaders for Rebel soldiers for offices and places of honor and profit a large proportion of the city and State offices being filled by them. 3IISSISSIPPI, having voted to stay out in the cold, the Democrats begin to realize thai they have simply bitten their own noses off, for, had they adopted the constitution —they having a clear majority in the State—they would have had the Legislature, State officers the United States, officers, and, in November the Presidential electors. For abstaining from carrying the State, the Republicans cannot do less than thank the Democrats many times. As long as Mississippi chooses to act in this way and remain under military supervision, she will afflict nobody but her self.— lilt. Commer cial. A telegraphic company has just been or ganized for introducing a system of tele graphing into China by which all the prin cipal ports of that country are to be united. The principal capitalists in this gigantic en terprise are New York and Boston men, but they have selected ex-Gov. Andrew G. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, as their president., who will, of course, impart great vigor to the enterprise and render it a success. POLITICAL ITEMS. IT is thought that Seymour stands a fair chance of carrying the Dry Tortugas. The Netc York Citizen (Detn.) heads its editorial on Gov. Seymour's nomination, "Might be Worse." A Cincinnati paper suggests that the Re publicans offer a day of thanksgiving for a happy riddance of the Blair family. A Missouri paper calls the nomination of Frank P. Blair on the ticket with Seymour letting "the tail go with the hide." The Tipton 2'imes, the most influential Democratic paper in the Yllltb Indiana Dis trict, throws overboard Seymour and Blair. "FROST seats reserved for Freedmen," was conspicuously displayed in a handbill calling a Democratic meeting at Jackson, Miss. GKSCKAL ROSKCKAXS is in Chicago, and washes his hands of the Democratic Conven tion. So does Gen. Sherman, and every otbei fighting General. Way is the Blair family like the small-pox? Because every administration must have it once. —[Cincinnati Gazette. Not any for the Grant administration. As exuberant Democrat boasts that his party has stiffened up immensely of late, in fact seems to have suddenly acquired "back bone." Yes, Greenback bone. Gov. SEYMOUR says in his 6pee.. of accep tance he hasbeen "caught up by the tide." He has, sure enough—the tide that will take him up Salt River. LouL and defiantly exclaims, "Secession is not dead; 11 is alive than ever!" "BLAIK is unpopular iu the South-West," shout all the Democratic papers, finding him unpopular everywhere else. The further down you go, the more popular is Democracy. FRANK BLAIR says, "the contest before us is for the restoration of our race." Old Blair and "Gummy"' view it in that light precisely; it's "the restoration of our race," they all say. The Natchitoches (La.) Times is informed that at a meeting held at Ringgold (Bienville Parish) on the 20th ult., Mb colored men joined the Democratic Club. Whew! Think of 140 colored men joining a Seymour Club in this hot weather! THE Ohio correspondent of The Times says that Gen. Grant has only "dogged persis tency" to recommend him to public favor. That's just what Pemberton said. "If it was not for his dogged persistency." said he, "pd have held Vicksburg till doomsday." The Norwich Bulletin, having read Mr. Belmont's speech, in which he charged the expenses of the war upon the Republicans, says that Gen. Forrest ought to have followed in a speech charging the Fort Pillow massa cre upon the "niggers" who were butchered. The Hartford Times quotes the Blair shirt story, and says: "Keep cool gentlemen, Seymour and Blair will take your shirts off for you in November, beautifully." Bridge port Standard thinks this a friendly admoui tiou to Republicans to watch their clothes lines. The Louisville Democrat says: "We re gret to see that there is not that cordial unity among Democrats, that lonetiess of temper, that is needed to secure success. A rivalry, why we need not explain, exists in certain quarters and a jealousy." Can this mean Miles O'Reilly and Sam. Gary ? The New-Haven Register thinks it a ques tion of some importance to know who U. S. Grant is. Just so. Gen. Buckner, on whom Democrats can implicitly rely, can give the desired information. THE Hon. J. W. Gordon of Indianapolis, who of late years had cast his lot with the Democracy, is unable to swallow the Seymour Blair prescription, and says that he shall vote tor Grant and Colfax. SOME one has recalled the pat verse in the "New Gospel of Peace:" "And now of the Pahdees he was called Say mour, because he could Saymore and mane less than any other man livin." THE Democrats in Washington and Sun flower Counties, Miss., actually ran a "nig ger" for the State Senate. His name is Wm. T. Combash, and he turns out to be a deser ter from Co. K. 32d U. 8. Colored Infantry. IT is confidently stated that Gen. John A. Dix, now American Minister at Paris, is one of the thousands of War Democrats who, in refusing to support Seymour and Blair, will heartily sustain Grant and Colfax. THE New York Journal of Commerce, good Democratic authority, denounces the re pudiation platform of the New York Conven tion. THE CAlllKET.—Governor Randall, Sec retary McCullocb and Secretary Seward indi cate to their friends that they have no in terest in Seymour's success. IT is stated that General John A. Dix, now American minister at Paris, is one of the thousands of War Democrats who in refusing to support Seymour and Blair, will heartily sustain Grant and Colfax. GEXEKAL SHEIIMAN was stopped on the street in St. Louis on Thursday by some en thusiastic Democrats, soon after the Seymour nomination was received, and asked if he would support Seymour. He replied, em phatically, no: that he was for Grant, and that Grant would be elected. REPUDIATING SrrMOva AND BLAlK.—Law rence, July 10. —The Stale Journal, the organ of the Chase movement, says:—"The nomination of Seymour and Blair was coldly received here. The Democratic party has deliberately committed suicide, preferring death to life, choosing the shroud and the shroud and the grave rather than regenera tion and the new birth." PRESIDENT JOHNSON does not conceal his disgust at the New York nominations, pro nouncing the ticket a failure. After himself, he preferred Chase, and next Hancock, hat the New York and Ohio "ring" was too strong. THE Hon David Kilgore, formerly repre sentative in Congress from Indiana, and du ring the past three years a warm supporter of the President, has repudiated the Democratic nominations, and will take the stump for Grant and Colfax. ON July 4 18G3, while Grant was going into Vicksburg, and Meade resting on the glorious held of Gettysburg, Seymour was making a speech in New York in which he declared the resort to arms a failure , and denounced con scription. THE President and the Democratic National Convention each signalizes the National Holiday by similar acts. One pardons traitors while the other is scheming how to restore them to political power.— Detroit Post. TIIE speakers at the democratic Presiden tial ticket ratification meeting in New York at Union square were General Wade Hamp ton, of South Carolina: ex-Governor Vance, of North Carolina; ex-Governor Perry, of South Carolina, and Colonel Call, of Florida, all of the late Southern confederacy, and the Hon. Jack Kogers, peace Democrat, late of New Jersey. At this rate the grand campaign between General Grant and Gen eral Lee in the battle held will probably be fought over again this summer on the stump. AMOSG the "distinguished Southerners" who went to New York to "give counte nance and aid to the Democratic National Convention was General G. Toutant Beau regard. Among Jeff. Davis' papers captur ed at the collapse of Richmond was the fol lowing : CHARLESTON, S. C.. Oct. 13, 1362. Hon. William P. Miles, Richmond. Va : Has the bill for the execution of Aboli tion prisoners after January next been pass ed? Do it, and Englaud will be stirred into action. It is high time to proclaim the black hag after that period. Let the execution be with the garrote. G. T. BEAUREGARD. Of course no better evidence of the sound ness of Beauregard's Democracy could be found than this. It will be a sufficient credential to any Democratic Convention. WHT is it, asked a Republican of his re bel Democratic friend, that you have none but rebels in your Nstional Convention from the South? "Weil confidentially, and not to be printed, the reason is that all the Union men of the South are Republicans, and all the rebels Democrats, and we could do uo better.' GENERAL. NEWS ITEMS. WM. B. MANN has withnrawo his name as a candidate for District Attorney of Philadel phia. Sensible. IT is said that nearly all the members of Gen. Hancock's staff have declared for Grant and Colfax. Where is Gen. Hancock? IT is thought now that Congress will not adjourn until the first proximo, and it is ex pected that the President will convene the Senate in extra session alter the adjourn ment. JOHN F. M'DEVITT, financial editor of the Philadelphia PRESS, died on Tnesday last, mise, ana nis eany ueaiu is a loss iu vue jno fession. It is stated that tbt President will not send to the Senate any nomination for the position of Commissioner ot Internal Revenue, but will, as soon as Congress adjourns, appoint N. O. Cutler, Senator Henderson's friend, in place of Mr. Rollins. THE Hon. John A. Griswold, the Republi can candidate for Governor of New York, paid the whole expense out of his own pocket for building the Monitor, which came to the timely rescue and crippled the iron clad Merri mac which made such terrible havoc at For tress Monroe . Such persons constitute the Nation's jewels. THE Paymaster General estimates that an additional appropriation of $412,000 will be required to meet the expenses incurred by reconstruction up to the 30th of June, 1869- If his Accident - )' and the Democracy had not opposed their power to the will of the loya' people in the matter of reconstruction this great expense would he defrayed by the people of the South themselves, instead of the General Government. ENGLISH society was very much distuibed lately by a serious question. The (Jueen gave a breakfast in Buckingham Palace garden, aud no one could decide wbat kind of dress it would be proper to wear. The anxiety was relieved, as far as gentlemen were concern ed, by the announcement that they were to wear evening coats with moruiitg trowsers, but the perplexity of the ladies was as great as ever. THE proprietor ot the International, a j French newspaper published in London, has been sentenced by a Paris police magistrate to a fine and imprisonment for publishing an an article about one of the officers of the Credit Foncier, of France. English journals wonder how the police magistrate acquired jurisdiction of an act committed in Eugland. THE eldest son of the Crown Prince of Prussia, Victoria's grandson, speaks English as fluently as German. His grandfather, the old King, often uses the little boy as an in terpreter when promenading with him in the gardens of San 3 Souci, and conversing with English or American tourists. THE Senate has passed the joint resolution to stay the collection of direct tax in the South until January 1, 1869. Its passage took place in the House on the 10th inst. This species of illiberality to ward the Southern people will of course attract the attention of the Opposition journals. ABOUT ninety thousand mowers and reap ers are annually made in the United States for this and a foreign market. The intelligent part of labor dispensed with in the field is therefore afforded a market at a much higher rate of remuneration in the workshop it. mak ing machines than is realized from the field by their introduction. Yet the aggregate amount of wages paid is greater. A LETTER from Hanover states that one of the persons recently tried for high treason at Berlin, M. Ackermann, a saddler, and who waß acquitted, returned this week to his na tive city. The inhabitants went in a body to the station to welcome him, and gave him a perfect ovation. In addition, when he ar rived at his house he found it dressed out with flowers. MRS. STAMPE, of Washington, Mass., and her daughter bad a singular escape from death in a thunder storm ou Wednesday night. They arose to close the windows, when a bolt Btruck the house, and the chimney crushed through the roof upon the bed they had that moment left.
