[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.

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

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.

Five years ago this month—on Tuesday, July

in this cityin these honeyed phrases;
“My Friends: I have comedown hero from the

“We are, : and will be again !”I—and now, I assure

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.

A Plan fonr Hundred Tears Old,
There recently arrived here a lunatic—-a
scholarly man or 38—who has been employed
as a teacher in schools. He has always.lived
a quiet, temperate life, and never exhibited
any symptoms of insanity until within a
month past He converses Well and intelli
gently on the topics of the ■ day, but soon
drifts away into the past to recount some of
the events .. which occurred two or
three hundred years ago, and ac
cording to his account, he him
self mingled. He knew Shakspeare
well, he says, and was present when he made
his first appearance in London as an actor.
He speaks of having loaned “William" five
dollars, which he forgot to repay. “But,
never mind,” he says, ‘‘Billy was a good fel
low, and he wasn't as well fixed as I was.”
A gentleman remarked that if he was four
hundred years old he must have been quite c
young man when Columbus sailed in search
of the New (World. Oh, yes, he remembered
it well. He was present at a presentation of
a bosom pin which was made to ■ Columbus
by some of his friends on the liight previous
to his departure. “They hag h gay time,"
said ho, “making speeches and drinking
toasts. Chris. Wanted me to go along with
him, but I told him I believed I would wait
for the next steamer.”
After musing a little time, the four hun
dred year old man suddenly remarked:
“Ever know Lib?” ■ J
“ Lib who ?” said the gentleman addressed.
“Why; Elizabeth, !Queen of England. 1
Great- friend-of mine. I—was the ody one
she allowed to call her Lib. Splendid woman.
magnificent woman a little haughty,
though, and self-willed. I never liked the,
way she used- the Queen of' Scots. Told b'ar
so at the time.”
