Wise Counsel.
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. The
day for that is past.— Sanbury brmotrat.

Klar Router* on Trial.
The Jury Impanelled Without lieltty.—A
Court that Will iSit all Ay hi, tj Aeees-
Bary, to Clote the Ca*c* l>y July 4.
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 ake<l the Court tocaution
the jury against having intercourse with
any parties relative to these nisi e. lie
also desired them to abstain from read
ing the newspapers, and he rniicised
severely the attacks made by loc-i news
papers u|ion the prosecution. I'odue
influences, lie said, had been brougut to
bear bv these parties which he would
j make tin- ground lor further a< lion.
Judgs* Wylie said that p-rl| s be
ahould consider it bis duty lo tiring these
newspa|ier allacks to the attention of
the liiai d Jury.
Mr. Totlen said the defend ints might
I claim the same privilege. II anybody
had tieen Vlllifb-d It *< llie defence,
and he ma lea bitter attack Upon what
iie called the lying newspaper enrres
' poiidenl* woo Da l been rent here from

Mr. Wilson said be would l.ow pri ■
' setil h s motion to c tnpel the prosecu
tion to make a severance stui elect
which cases they would prmeeJ with
tin se against the public i tliceis or Ibcee
: sg -int rititens.
This motion had already been passed
upon, and was now again overruled by
the Court.
In answer to an inquiry from the pros
erution Judge Wyliesaid they should
have the opening aiguniei I, arid it was
! arianged that Mi. B.is* should give an
' explanation at h-rig'h to the jury ol the
j particulars of the esses, and should state
what the Government ex pes-ted lo prove.
Tina argument will probably be deliver
;ed to morrow. The Court also added
i I hat the defence would he allowed but
; one opening argument, l>v 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.

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 Lt<uler.
The Stalwart Moon In a liloodf Phase.
W ASIIIKUTON, June 4 Poor Don Cam

an ulcerated tooth drove bun so nearly
wild that he was drawn into making
even wilder threat* to the bu*ines* in

which ensued Cameron opposed the toll.
Crossing over to the iHller'a seat and
shaking his head like an Mrigry bull, I<o
gan exclaimed, "I thought you were a
man of your word; I'll ncvei ullow you
in future to make an agreement in com
luittce only to break it in open session.
I shall light Sherman wiiti all the energy
of my soul." The lull will come up
again as unfinished business and a large

mutter shall be finally settled. I) >n 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

A Senator Charged with I'erjnry.
II vnßisncao, IV. June L—An ac'.ion
haa h.en instituted against State Sena
tor Roberta of Ttlusviile, charging bim
with perjury in taking his oath *• Sena
tor. The information is laid by Patrick
ltovle. of Kichhurg, N. Y , who claims
that the Senator obtained his nomina
tion by improper means *nd consequent
ly could not leg.By have taken the
.oath. Ihe bearing has been fixed for
June 13. Boyle, who makes the inhu
mation. is editor of the 'hi KelU, and is
tinder indictment in McK.-tn county
for libel. Senator Roberts being the
prosecutor.
!>*. Franklin Staple*, of Winona,
Minn., who haa been carefully studying
; lite characteristic* of that fat*) ntaladr,
- diphtheria, classes it at undoubtedly
I contagious and infectious. He thinks
that the strictest sanitary regula
tions, rigidly enforced, are the only
mean* adequate to prevent it* at,read
in communities where it has made ita
apf>e*rance. Filth, whether from dirty
rooms, aotled clothing, defective drain*
and cesspools, ill ventilated rooms,
l*vionou* inodorous gaaea, etc., he re
gards a* conditions which invite the dis
ease. To guard against contamination
it ia necessary "that the apartments set
apart for the patient should be diverted
ot all furniture, carpel*, eurtain* and
fabric* of any kind not absolutely re
quired ; that discbarge* from the nose,
mouth and howela should be carefully
collected and destroyed, and that all
personal clothing, bed linen, elo.,
should be thotougely disinfected before
being sent to the general wash. In
ra*e of death, all clothing and unimpor
tant article* should be burnt, the body
should be immediately disinfected and
put into ita coffin, which should be kertt
pctmsnenlly closed. There should he
no public funeral." He sugfeau
ch)< rine gaa and thorough ventilatioti
to disinfect the room*, and aaya that
nothing short of these precaution* will
avail to pievent the apread of the in
fection.
