Ho snid : "1 am ut a Iohr to uniloratand tho moan ot this talk, and of tkeeo proceedings. 1 found The Sun't loiter conicd into tho Rochostor Union, of which Mr l'urccll is editor, and I And that hia namo figure iu tho Now York oonfor- onoo.

My health is in a very precarious slate. It is an cmntv oompumeni to ton mo that 1 look well 1 Know, unlortunatoly, that I do not feel well. 1 am wholly inclinable of protracted exertion of any sort. An ammatod conversation will sometimes Bush my faco and givo mo, perhaps, me appearanco ol streni'lh : but that is usually followed by a reaction, under winch 1 am often obliged to keep my room for diivs toirotkor. I nnnni writo, except at rare Intervals and for snou periods. . Jt is unspeakably die tasteful to mo to advertiso mv sink ness, but it seems necessary in order that some of mv friends mav nmlnr. . j . stand what I mean when I say that I coma not accept an office under anv circumstances. It would bo an act of immortality for mo to run for Governor for 1 am not capable of discharging mo auuos, ana Iboellurt would hasten my death. After this frank avowal, I hope to be relieved from the importuni ties of over-zcalous friends.'' The Govornor was reminded that in 1868, when he was tho Democratic candidate for President, he seomoti lo gathor strength from the excitement oi the campaign, and that alvruva in earlier life ho appeared to enjoy him- sen most during tho aotivity of a po litical canvass. IIo mused a moment and said : "I am now as I was then. A rlrr.,.n or twenty years sometimes add a great weigui 10 a man's lite. Aly health was not broken then. But as it wa. 1 ran for office much oftoner than was wiso. I nover loved the oxoroise of power. never cared particularly for publio places, but I alwavs liked nnlitina anil what is more, 1 like politicians. Tbey aro a much-abused class. It is the fashion to sneer at them, but I think they are better men a a ruin than merchants and bankers and other ran. resentativos of what is called respect ability. They make moro sacrifices and do mora unselBsh work for others than buSinoss men over think of doinir, They cultivate a oortain chivalrio sense ot honor. Evon tome who aro naturally corrupt will refuse the mnat tempting bribes whon the integrity of toeir pany is involved. I have snen enough of political lifo to satisfy mo affections of tho party which We should not othorwiso have had." Ho was roininded that lonif before mat no bad been Speaker of tho As sembly and Governor of Now York, and a statesman of recognized Influ ence. Ho" anuworod : "In thoso early days 1 was not a leader but one of the youni; men on whom the leaders bo- stowed some marks of their favor. The caucus which named me for Spoakur of tho Assembly was very closely divided between the and Barnburners. Tho JIunkors adopt- oa me Decauso I was the only one of inoir uunioerin tbeAoscn.bly who had any legislative experience. I received throe or four moro votes than the can. didalo of the other faction, and, as wo bad all agreed to abide by tho result, that settled it. When I was nominated for Governor In 1850, it was not my triumph but the triumph of lluw and Beardslcy, and Brcnson, and their friends. Thoy fought for the control of the Convention and when they gained it thoy thought it would be good policy to put a comparatively unknown man at tho head of the tickot, and they happonod lo select mo. This lud tn my renominalion In 1852, when I was eiociod. During my term the prohibi tion legislation canie up, and Ibo ex citement which that engondered com. polled me to mnko another canvass in 185-t. But by that timo new changes naa occurred and my old friends Beardslcy and Bronsoo wore against mo. 1 boy differed from mo on tho question of nominating William 1, o ... Maroy fur President in 1852. But if Mr. Miircy had been tho nhoico nf il, Democratic Convention, tho civil war would have been everted. II would not have gone lo the extremes that Pierce went ; he would have built tip a belter fooling between the North and South. Marcy was a statesman." Gov. Seymours devtjtion to Gov. Marcy's famo and memory ia note worthy. It was as a member of Gov. Marcy's staff that Iforalio Sev mour. then a young man, first appeared in publio lifo. To the end of Murcv'a life tho friendship and affoction bo- iwocn mom nover cooled ordiminished. This is tho reason, porliaps. wbv Gov. Seymour treasures and often repeats one of the last remarks that Marcv made to hirti :"Tho most difficult dutv that a politician has to norform is to retire gracefully from the stage of pub lic uie when ho is too old to be ot any further use." Gov. Sovmour nd,l. 'Appreciating the truth of this rn. mark, I rosolvod to rotiro oariv : and considering my broken hoalth and ad vancing years,, my friends havo no right to find fault with this decision." As Horatio Seymour stood before mo, lull, graceful, erect, his dark oyes shining, his voice ringing and reso- imui, 1 couia easily understand whythe uomocrats of new York were so loth to relinquish his leadership. But from this decision thore is no appeal. Xew York Sun. REBEL CLAIMS AHD RADICAL FRAUD.

Columns of figures have been piled up in their newspapers to show the enormous amount the Confederates would take from the Treasury in payment of their claims on the advent of a Democratic majority In Congress. Throe thousand millions in theso claims constituted the lowost estimate of tho stalwart Tribune whose columns groaned for months preceding every election with Ihe dismal load. That Democratic ma jority in Congress has como and the ttrst step ol one of its members. Gen eral Bragg of Wisconsin, a brave Union soldier, was to move to abolish tho "Southern Claims Commission" as an umondmont to the civil appropria tion bill. Gen. Bratir's obioct. as ho declared in tho debato, was to close tho payment of fraudulent Southern claims through this commission and at the samo time to stop the loyal cry that the Domocrats designed to rob tbo Government Whon tho vote on this amendment was taUn the Republi cans of sho House under the !iad nl Gen. Garfield voted in the ncgativo, and the Southern cluims commission is preserved through tho aid of a few straggling Democratic votes. Had the liepublicans voted in accordance with their professions tho commission would havo been abolished by an overwhelm- mg vote, as nearly all tho Democrats supported tho amendment of Gen Brairif. This Southern claims commission was created on tho lost day of the session of 18, 1, and rushed through uiigremi wunouv acnato, jt wn8 passed as a "rider" to tbo civil appro printion bill, that "revolutionary oro- ooss," as it is now styled by the stal warts, Tor coercing the Executive. The members ol this commission for de termining the validity of millions of claims were not selected lor their judicial acquirements and integrity but lor their partisan sorvices. Thev make their own rules of evidence and have powor to appoint "investicatinir agents," whoso function it is to go about and gathor up testimony in re gard to claims and tho loyal character 01 tho claimants. Upon the evidence presented by these detectives the valid. ity of the claims bus beon for the most part determined. A moro infamous machindry for tho encouragement ol fraud upon the Government was novor devised in tho highest flights of Radi- cal ingenuity. Under ila nniio not loss than 1 159:000.000 taken from the Treasury to oav South. ern claims, and tbo commission with its dotectives is busily engaged in grinding out moro. Whon a Demo cratio moiubor of Congress moved In arrest thisjvillanious agency of iraud ana robbory, ibis blot on the iurisorn donco of the ninoteonth century, the stalwarts with almost unanimous voico voted no. Thoy had a reason for their course. Thoy know that most nf h. wards 01 this commission are fraudu lent. With spies and informant mIIaH 'investigating agonts" to gather testi mony lor the commission, to am.b among carpet baggers and lreedmen for proof oi the loyalty of claimant and the validity of their claims, the awards in most instances could not help being fraudulent and corrupt. auiirom tbeawardaoi this commission has been drawn a large share of the Radical corruption fund, and this ac counts for tho affoction with which the stalwarts in Congress have .rallied to its support. 'Ibis commission afforded the largest portion of the sustenance of carpot bag rule in the South, elect ing carpet baggers to Comrraaa ami I State Legistures through its fraudulent awards, until carpet baggory broke down with the woight of iu own rot, tenness. The stalwarts in Conirres still insist that the commission shall ha maintained as long'as an Investigating agoni can discover a loyal claimant, but the Democrats have resolved that it must be swopt away with the bavn not election law. jurors' test oath Marshal Kerns'. ballot stuffing deputios, ana an the post of the mach narv for defeating the will of tho poople and plundering their Treasury.
