[Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.) ... Washington, July 10, 1868.—Tho New York nominations have fallen like a wet blanket upon tho Democrats and Conservatives .here. The leaders seem perfectly demoralized. On the other hand the Republicans are excitant, jubilant, and full of hope and confidence. Indeed ifthoyhad formed the ticket themselves, they coaid hot have been better pleased with It. Some of (lie patriotic soldiers attached to the Conserva tive Army, and Navy Union intend .“bolting” from the Seymour ticket, it- is said, and taking hides with Grant. They can do no less, to keep their record clear. I know there are many ,in this organization whose “hearts are In the right place,’' but they have been deceived by the pro mises that the Convention wonld pnt forward a soldier. Hancock was their choico, bat Han cock stood no chance in that Convention, against the wily Seymour, . who bad everything “cut and dried” beforo the Con vention met, to make him the nominee. He.co qnetted with Chase, with Pendleton, and like a coy maiden ho wanted to be coaxed to accept. Bis scheme succeeded. On every side ho is de nounced by the friends of Chase and Hancock in the most unreserved manner. As for Johnson, scarcely any one talks abonl him—for no one ex cept himßeif was credulous enough to suppose for a moment he would be nominated. Bat I as sure yon. for the last Six weeks, Johnson has hogged the idea to bis bosom that he would be the. n an, nnd I have reason to believe his'disappoint ment was more intense than that of either Chase or Hincock. The ouij fear now is that the Republicans will be too confident, and neglect to make the proper exertions to bring out their full strength, relying upon the weakness of the ticket of their oppo nents. Tills was what elected Polk in 1844, when ihc- old Whig party was so confident of victory that it failed to rouse itself to tho contest, and the result was, it was beaten. This is the opinioo entertained here by leading Republicans, and it would be well for those interested to moke a note ot it, lor many a batUo Uao been lost by under rating an enemy. CONDITION OF THE TARIFF BILL. General Moorbead, Juog" .Vlor-etl, and other Pennsylvania members, made a determined effort yesttruuy to get the Tanll bill up, and ihuv de served success, but the persistent opposition of General Bntltr and other Republicans opposed to the measure, defeated Us consideration that day. It will be taken up and acted on in the House, without doubt, before the adjournment, bnt its fate in tbe Senate is somewhat problem atical. Btiil. Us friends arehopefal, and will not relax anv exertion to get it through both Honses this session, if possible. IMPORTANT I’ATKST CASE TO PENNSYLVANIANS. Last week a bUI passed both Houses, reviving tbe expired patent of Bamnel T. Jones, upon the petition of bis Administratrix, Martha M- Jones. This patent was for the invention of a zincoxide, which has been extensively manufactured in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and Us extension or revival interests a large class of manufacturers in those Btates. The Jones patent expired July *23, 1864, bnt.wos extended by tbe Commissioner of Patents, February 1 24,1866,.near1y two years after it had become public property. The effect of the passage of tho bill is to declare that tt e patent was valid dnring the interval of its ex piration and its renewal oy the Commissioner up to the present time when the bill was passed This will enable the widow of Air. Jones to col lect a royalty upon the void patent, amounting to more than one hundred thousand dollars, from various individuals and companies who have been using the invention, and the parties inter ested are here, endeayaring to have a supple mentary bill passed, which will relieve them from the payment of this tax by inserting a proviso “that this bill shall have no retroactive effect, 60 as to render any persons liable for Using said invention after the expiration of the original term of the patent, before the approval of this act" They daim that the bill just passed by Congress does bave a retroactive effect, and is iheretore unconstitutional. John S. Noble, a manufacturer of oxide of zinc, has presented a memorial to the Benate, protesting against thi3 oil!, and the Lehigh Zinc Company, of Bethle hem, Pa., have also remonstrated against it. They allege that the extension by tho Commis sioner of Patents was improperly granted, and in proof of this submit a letter from Commissioner Theater, stating that he renewed the patent under a mi apprehension of the facts. The Lehigh Zinc Company declare that the royalty to be collected from them alone under this bill will amount to one hundred thousand dollars. While the dividends of the company have been small they have paid about 530.000 for usiDg this very patent, which they consider no lull compensation for all it is worth. The heavy interests involved in this case promise a very animated contest. Susquehanna. The Chateau.LafiUe Vineyards. The Paris correspondent of the London Herald soys of the recent attempt to sell the Chateau - Lafitte vineyards : “The celebrated domain was put up at public auction, but the price—nearly £2oo,ooo—was \found too high even for the richissimes amateurs' Who wished to bid, among them were the Duke .d’Aumale—his representative, I mean—Baron Nathaniel Rothschild, Count' do Greffalke, Mar quis de Nicolai, &c. A word about the flower of the vinevords of Bordeaux will prove palatable,l am sure." Lafitte was a lordship in'the district of Pauillac, near Bordeaux in 1355, Jean de Lafitte was sumamed the Prince of Vineyards. At the first French Revolution that estate belonged to President de Plchard, who was guillotined by sentence of the revolutionary tribunal of Paris. On his death Lafitte was confiscated without any form of process, and sold to a Dutch company, who resold it in 1803 to M. Vanlerberghe. The son of the latter died recently intestate; and his rich succession is to be divided amongsVhis three sisters. That explains why-the estate of Lafitte is put up for sale. “The vineyards contain about three hundred and fifty acres, producing on the average one hundred and thirty-five hogsheads—that is to say, five hundred and forty casks of 50 gallons eaeh. Now the Chateau Lafitte wine has to remain four years in the wqod to acquire its full flavor, and two or three years more inbettlo to be drunk jn good condition. After those seven years the cost price has doubled. And what is the cost price ? In 1865 six Bordeaux houses bougnt the vintage of Chateau-Lafltte at the rate of 5,6q0 francs th e hogshead. The next day the value of the hogs head was 6,500 francs, and now it is 8,000 francs. Et nunc, do not forget that the same wine will be fit for drinking only in four years, and conse quently yon will act wisely In mistrusting the contents of a bottle of Lafitte offered to you in most hotels in Franco ■ at flvo francs. ■ “The Chateau of Lafitte boasts of having in its vaults bottled wine from 1797 vintage till now: that rich and precious collection is unique in France. Marshal Richelieu, Louis XV. and iMadame de Pompadour had a great predilection for the Lafitte wine; it is now as much prized -through the whole.-world as formerly-at the Court of Versailles. I wish you ali a pipe of it." —ln Vineland, more than any other place in New Jersey, there is a constant and ever-increas ing desire. for more manufacturing facilities. Within two years a great many different kinds have been begun there. A button manufactory is to be the next attempt, which is. to employ twenty or forty persons, nrVjifefa&agl.— — I^l PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1868, pomicAfc, TAMMANY HALL. Ratification Meeting ia New York SPJSICHES OF SEYMOUR AND BLAIR SDom the N. Y. Herald,’ of today.} Tammany Hail was last evening the scene of the concluding act of the great Democratic Con vention farce commenced on Batnrday last B»- Governor Seymour, the principal candidate on the Democratic .ticket for tbe Presidency, on-. Bounced his. in tention to appear in public and accept the nomination made by the Convention appointing him the standard-bearer of the party in tbe coming campaign. General Blair, the candidate: for the Vice Presidency, it was also. announced, would appear- and go through 'bis part of tho act at the same time and on the stage. Eight o’clock was’ the honr fixed for the appearance of the chief actore, and prompt to time they presented them selves before their friends* the Democratic audi ence invited to tbe reserved seats thronghout tho h»l). Thobnlldlng was crammed to suffocation, while the street la front hod its thousands of spectators who, not being able to effect an en trance inside, were to have an entertainment out side. Thelront of the wigwam was brilliantly illuminated, and bands of music and firing of cannon gave all the needful iclal to theoccaeTon. - Mr. August Belmont called the meeting.to or der and nominated for presiding officer Samuel J. Tilden, who, previous to the arrival of. Gover nor Beymour, addressed the audience upon the issues of the contest He said that the Demo cratic party were destined to preserve and restore the great framework of American constitutional government and to refound the government on the liberties of the people, and that they were to restore in every part-oi the Continent local self government to every integral portion of the American people. He was willing to predict a gloriouß vlatory for Democratic principles under ihe lead of Beymonr and Blair. * Mr. Tilden—l now present to yon, General Morgan, of Ohio, the chairman of the commit tee appointed by the National Convention to ten der to Horatio Seymour the nomination for pres ident of (be United Btates, and I present to yon also Horatio Seymonr. General Morgan and Governor Seymour rose from their seats and advanced towards the presi dent’s desk amid a storm of enthusiastic cheer ing, which was repeated again and again. It was continued for some minutes, so that it was im possible for Mr. Seymour to do anything else but bow his acknowledgments for the compliment. FORMAL TENDER OF THE NOMINATION TO GOVER NOR SEYMOUR—SPEECH OF GENERAL MORGAN, OF OHIO. The chairman, after repeated demands to the audience to preserve order and be seated; secured comparative quiet, when General Morgan, of Ohio, said: Governor Sey mour, on behalf of the committee appointed for that purpose, I have the honor, sir, to present to yon this communication There Governor Morgan banded Mr. Beymonr the letter addressed to him by the committee] .announcing your unanimous nomination as candidate for the office of the Pre sident of the Unitedstates by the National De mocratic Convention, and on behalf, sir, of the conservative and democratic people of the States we have the honor to represent, we here pledge their united and cordial efforts in securing relief to the country from the thraldom which now op presses it, and in placing yon, sir, as the chosen Chief Magistrate of the nation, in the executive chair. RESPONSE OK GOVERNOR SEYMOUR. Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Committee — I thank you for the courteous terms in which you have communicated to me the action of the Democratic National Convention. I have no words adequate to express my gratitude for the good will and kindness which that body has obown to me. Its nomination was unßought and unexpected: It was my ambition to take an active part, fromwhich I| am now excluded, in the great struggle going on for the restoration of good government, of peace and prosperity to onr country. [Great cheering.] But I have been caught np . by the whelming tide that ia bearing us on to a great political change, and I find myself unable to resist its pressure. [Applause.] Yon have also given lo me a copy of the resolutions put forth by ihe Convention, showing its position upon all Lhe great questions which now agitate the coun i ry. As the presiding officer of that Convention, I am familiar with their scope and import, and as one of Us members I am a party to their terms; they are in accord with my views, and I stand upon them in the contest upon which we are now enterin ■: and I shall strive to carry them out in future wherever I may bo placed,in.public or private life. [Applause.] I congratulate yon, and all conservative men who seek to restore order, peace, prosperity and good government to onr land, upon the evidences everywhere shown that we are to trinmph at the next election. [Prolonged cheering.]. Those who are politically opposed to .ub flattered themselves there would bo discord in oar councils; they mistook the uncertainties of onr views as to the best methods of carrying ont out purposes for difference of opinion with re gard to those purposes." They mistook an in tense anxiety to do no act which should not be wise and judicious for a spirit ,of discord;, but during the lengthened proceedings and earnest discussions of the Convention there has prevailed an entire harmony of intercourse, a patient for bearance and a self-sacrificing spirit which are the sure tokenß of a coming victory. Accept for yourselves, gentlemen, my wishes, for your future welfare and happiness. [Cheers.] In a few days I will answer the communication yon have just handed me by letter, as is the cus tomary form. [Tremendous and long-continued cheering. | ' 1 ' At the conclusion of his speech Mr. Seymonr was again loudly cheered by the assemblage and immediately retired. Mr. Tilden—l have the honor now to present to this meeting Major General Francis P. Blair, Jr. This announcement was also received with' loud cheers. ADDRESS OR GENERAL MORGAN TO GENERAL F. P . . BLAIR, JR. General Morgan, in addressing General Blair, said: General Blair, the committee appointed by the Convention have made it my pleasing duty, sir, to announce to you your unanimous nomi nation as the Democratic candidate for the Office of Vice President'of • the United Btates—[ap plause]—and in tendering to you, sir, this nomi nation, we feel assured that it will not only bo hailed by acclamation by your fellow-citizens throughout the United States, but by thousands, of your gallant comrades who, on many aiwell fought field under yonr lead, will once again rally to the Stars and Stripes in defence of firee institutions. [General Morgan handed General Blair the letter tendering the nomination. [ RESPONSE OF GENERAL BLAIR. General Blair responded as follows; I accopt the platlorm of resolutions passed -by the late Democratic Convention,, and 1 accept the nomi nation with feelings of the most profound grati tude. And, sir, I thank you for the very kind manner in which yon have conveyed to me the decision of the Democratic Convention: I ac cept the nomination with the feeling that yonr nomination for the Presidency'to one which will because? believe that the nomination ia theraost appropriate nomination that conid be made by the Democratic ;. Convention. . The • contest, which we wage is for tho restoration of constitu tional government—[cheers]—and it is appropri ate that we should make this contest under tho lead of one who has given bis life to tho main tenance of constitutional government. [Renewed OmWHOIE COUNTRY. cheers.] We make this contest for the restora tion ot those great principled .of government which belong to our race. And, say fellow citi zens, it is most proper that we' should select for our leader a naan, not froth military life, but one who has devoted himself, to civil pursuits—ooe who has given himself to the study, to the under standing of onr constitution and its maintenance with all tbo force of reason and judgment. My fellow. citizens, I have said that thcoontcst bo fore ns was one forthe restoration of onr govern ment; itis also for the restoration of onr race. [Loud cheers.] Itis to prevent the people'Of one raee from being exiled from their homes— exiled from the government which they formed and created for themselves and for their children, and to prevent them, from being drireryout in exile or trodden under foot bjr jin inferior and a semi-barbarous race. Applause.] In thin con test we shall have tbe sympathy, of every man who is worthy to belong to the white race. What civilized people on earth would refnse to associ ate with ;tbemselves in all: tho rights and honors and . dignities of their country such, men as Lee . and Johnston? [Vocies, •‘None, none.”]; What civilized couutiy on earth would fall to do honor to those who, fighting for - ait erironeons cause,yet distinguished themselves by a; gallantry never surpassed ? |Applause.]; In that contest, for which they are sought to be.. disfranchised and to be exiled from tbeir homes —ia that contest they proved themselves worthy to be our peers., [At this point there was omi nous silence, followed by repressed clapping of bands and faint cheers.] My'fellow-citizens, it is not my purpose to make any lengthened ad dress, but simply to express my gratitude for the great and distinguished honor which has been conferred upon me; and now from my heart I reiterate the words of thanks that feu from my lips when I arose. £ General Biair resumed his seat, and shortly after left the ball. Speeches were made also by Generals Preston and Green Clay Smitb. There was an outside meeting, at which several speeches were made. Tbe Bepnblican National Committee.

Let me assure you that! am your friend. [/Uproarious cheering.!

[Cheers.] X wish to inform you that I have sent my Adju tant- General to /Washington to confer with the authorities there, and to nave this draft suspended and stopped. [Vociferous cheers.] I ask you as good citizens to wait lor his return; and I assure you thatl wilbdo all that I can to see that there Is no-inequality and no wrong done to any one. I wlsh.you to take good care of all property,asgood citizens, and see that every person Is safe. The safe-keeping of property and persons rests with yon,' and I charge you to disturb neither. It: is your duty to maintain the good order of the city, and I know you will do it' I wish you now to separate es good citizens, and you can assemble again wherever you wish to do so. I ask you to leave all to me now, and I will see to your rights. Wait until my adjutant returns from Washing ton, and you ehall be satisfied. Listen to me, and see that there ]s no harm done to persons or property; but retire peaceably.” ..V This is an excellent campaign-■ document Jt needs no comment. Seymour and Ilis jt'ricnds, tUo New York Rioters* [From the Now York Tribuuo.3 One of the most significant “latiGcatidn” meet ings held: since the nomination of Seymour and Blair wos thai of theContral Chase Association: ofNew.Yprk.. On thenlght of the nomination they met and resolved,in substance, that,whereas, they had for a time been displeased' with. Re-, publieanjsmj and had hoped in Democracy, -and whereas, with the adoption of the plat form add announcement of the nomi nations the scales bad fallen from their eyes, and they conid how tee as far into the Btone-fence bb anybody, and whereas they felt disinclined to* bntt against it, therefore they would vote for Grant and Colfax. These are very sensible reso lutions, and yre believe the Central Chose Associa tion represents hundreds of thousands of the drift ing and undecldud votc,trom whom we ehailsooa bear the some .response. . . . A ntmacraUc Orsun on tbo Platform. That old fashioned Democratic paper, the New York Journal of Commerce, speaks its mind in A. way .which will bring, the party pressure 'very, heavily upon ft. It says of the Democratic plat form: ■ '■■■■ V !i ' ■ “ This to out-and-out repudiation of a solemn obligation, as wo 'understand it, to pay all the bonded debt in gold.” That,' on the question of repudiation, - —“the democrats are boldly committed to the baser alternative, and will reap the main advan tage where this heresy is fondly cherished. There is no excuse for such a proposition. It is both, wicked and disgraceful. The authors know very well that the money was borrowed with the ex press understanding that it was to be repaid in coin, and that anything short of thisisrepudia tlon of A solemn covenant.” ' , - : The same leading democratic paper soys of the candidate i “Governor Seymour has always;warmly in sisted on the obligation to pay the bonds in gold. The platform is thus the very opposite or his well-known views, How the two are-to be re conciled Is not for us to deckle.” The democratic press has been inquiring where the enthusiasm for Grant and the Bepublican platform is to be found. 'Such enthusiasm as their own leading papers show cannot certainly be matched elsewhere. FROM NEW TOOK.
