Horatio Seymour is one of the I)emo cratic sage* to whom the party can al ways safely turn for wor'ls of wise coun sel unselfishly irivon. In a late inter view with a H'orW correspondent he gives utterance to some views, more specifically on New York politic*, which may with great fitness lie applied in the main to the condition and the prospect* of the party throughout the country. The entire self abnegation which in spires him may he inferred from hi* declaration that the parly made a mis take in nominating him, and not .fudge Church, for President ;n I WIT. and that he accepted the nomination againt his own better judgment onlv "men will do the tiling which they know they oualit noi to do." To Mr. Seymour and the millions like htm whose loyally and patriotism have kept the Democratic organisation intact, Democracy is a living faith. He says : "We Democrat* love our party. It is a sort ola religion to us in the rural districts and we hnve always tried to keep it pure and honored. When I have been a candidate for office I have had strangers gr*p tne by the hand with tears in their eyes—not for my own sake, hut hecuuse I was the repre sentative of the principles to which their lives were dedicated, I feel a* sured that the Democratic party ha* it in its power to regain it* supremacy in the Stale and in the country. It may be said that its organization is bad, and so it is. Rut the llepuidican party i* in a much worse state, and that parly is without the power to rehabilitate itelf. It can take no step hack ward. It t impelled forward hy its own weight to dissolution. It* tendencies, unhappily, are all toward* centralization, and the machinery of our government has grown so enormous and complex in its hand* that it has got beyond control. The officials go in and out of oltice, hut the lobby are in foi life, and dominate all. The Republican p*riy has been unatde or unwilling to prevent this and it must give way. "Under these circumstance* the Dem ocratic party ha* the opjmrtunity to win a gresi victory by standing up for con stitutional method* of government. Ry its past tradition* and history it is com mitted to this popular line of jwlioy. which the Republican* cannot adopt if they would. It is our* simply to be guided by the msrvelou* wisdom which originally distributed jurisdiction be tween different local departments, snd which bad been lost sight of in the tumults of war and in theextraordinary measures arising therefrom. The Dem ocratic party is in the position to make that issue. The disposition of the peo ple, which had it* origin in self relianre growing out of the condition* of the first settlements, instead of growing weaker on the point of local self-gov ernment grows stronger. The masses prefer to keep political affairs under their own eye*, and have no sympathy with centralisation. The growth of in tercourse between the different sections and the increase of agricultural and commercial interests have created a conservative, intelligent interest, which will rebuke all purges and passions that threaten peace and harmony. I have no doubt of tbn success of the Democratic party and of the enduring triumph of ita principles." Mr. Heymour see* promise of this in the increasing tendency of the Demo cracy toward harmony, while the Re publiejint tend more and more to dlsin tegration. The factional disputes which have weakened the Democracy hnve been mostly person si quarrels, and. Mr. Heymour says, "it is a wise maxim that young men should not take up old men's quarrels. We have but a few more years to remsin bere at best, and our like* and dislikes are of compara tively little consequence. The young men have their own battles to tight and their own honors to win, and it is not worth their while to trouble themselvee about us. Let them go to the front and enter the list for themselves." All of this is eminently true of our State, and such sentiments have been making their wav very rapidly in the past two years. There is no power now which can array the Democracy of Penn sylvania in two factional bodies and make their strife the chief interest at taching to n .State Convention.

Wasuinoton, June 1. —To-day had been et down for the beginning of the trial in the Btar Route coses, and not withstanding the disagreeable weather there wax a lull attendance in the Crim inal Court room. Mont of the defen dant* and all of their counsel were present. District Attorney Corklull notified the Court of f h Government's readiness to proceed, and Judge Wylie inquired if they were ready to proceed to the selection of a jury. Mr. Ingeranil asked leave, on behalt of his clients, the two Dorsoys, to with draw their pleas of not guilty and enter a motion to quash on the ground that the Grand Jury was not selected in <• outdance with section - of the act of June, 1879. This motion was denied, and the de fence announced their readitu to call the jury. Some discussion ensued as to the num ber of peremptory challenges to be allowed the defence, the prosecution contending that they should tie confined to four such challenges and the defence cluitning the right to challenge four jurors lor each defendant. The Court decided in favor of tho claim <1 the de fendants' counsel. Ten jurors only had been obtained when tiie regular panel was exhausted, and the Court directed the M irni.al to call four talesmen, and from tin ->• the two additional jurors were obtained. The following compose the jury chosen to try the ease: \V illiam Dickson, fore man ; Matthew NcNelly, John If. M<- Carthy, Edwin J. McLain. William K. Brown (colored), Ed win D. D niphnii, Henry A. Olcott, William Holuieivl, Thomas Martin (colored), Cn-oige W. Cox, K. T. Murray and Zacti iriah To briner. Mr. Merrick akev one of their i counsel. "It is my intention to bring these i rases to s closw before July 4," *aid Judge Wylie, "even if we have to sit up all night and on Saturday to do it; ' ( -till he thought the usuvl Court hours would suffice. The Court then adjourned until to j morrow. The l.dlibj. That grand ohl man, Horatio Sey uiour, eloquently cni| haaue* thi< point wo have arriving to itnprea* ii|>on our (PnHrri, that a simple tranihril of the government officers from dishonest to honest men. will not bring the coun try thp relief it needa. What ia wanted ia a change of methods, na well a* of men. Mr Seymour says of the Itepub licana: "Their tendency haa been to centralize ita power at the general capl tal and to swell the bulk of legislation tranaaoted there until it haa not only gone beyond their control, hut beyond the comprehenaion of anybody but the life membera of the lobby. ' That ia the important fact. Republican* may be a* pure, peraonally, aa Ceasar's wife ; yet *o long aa their ideaa are what they are, ao long aa the lawa they enact are what they are, ao long a* the general ayatem of legislation and administra tion to which by the paat of their party they are committed ia what it ia, the re aulta muat ncceaaanly he offirial demor alization and the destruction of the people's rights. Republican methods at tract and sustain the lobby, which, aa Mr. Seymour significantly puts it, is a continuing bod*, and therefore practi cally the controller of that government by plundering which it feeds. All the vile frauda that stain the Republican escutcheon—all the Credit Mobilier, and Wliiaky Ring, and Rahcock and Belknap steals originated in the lobby. Rut for the lobby they oould not have lieen carrier! through ; and because there waa • lobby they would have been con summated, no matur how honeat, per aonally, the Congressmen and other officials it used had been when elected. The only way to get rid of corrupt lawa and corruption in office ia to get rid of the lobby. The only way to get rid of the lobby is to return to the simple and constitutional principles and practice# ol the Democracy. it is a matter of history (bat while the Congress waa Democratic there waa oo lobby. Remocratlc methods destroy ed it. Hince the Congress is Republican again, the lobby ia hack, if anything, in atronger foroe and mora insolent than ever.— ('ifion Ltn is reported to have a-iid tli.il he did not propose to have Shcrmun retired ; to which I.ogan replied that he (Cameron) "might bos* the small try politician* ol I't-nnaylvnrua, but that sort of thing was played out in Washington ; that Sh r man had long since passed the age lixed in the bill and ought to be on the re tired list now.
