POLITICAL, _ Governor Seymour's Mendacity. llarper's Weekly contains the following: "Mr. Seymour says: 'Since the war closed in 1865 the Government has spent for its expenses. In addition to its payment on the principal and interest of the public debt, more than one thee ..sand-Million of dollars. Of this sum there has been nearly eight hundred millions spent, on the army and navy and for military purpoisce. This Is nearly one-third of the national debt. This was spent in time of peace.' There is a very ex plicit assertion. A third of the national debt has accumulated since the war closed, and the country is paying for its army and navy nearly $270,000,000 in a time of profound peace! Could there be a guiltier extravagance ? Could any thing call more loudly for H. Seymour & Co. ? "-Now Mr. Blaine, a very attentive and able representative in Congress from the State of Maine, heard, through the Democratic papers, - these smooth and fluent assertions of Mr. Sey mour, and he immediately went to the Treasury Department to ascertain their accuracy. And this was what he found. When the war ended "Aber° were nearly a million of men in the Union armies, and nearly five hundred vessels, with 'their proper crews, blockading three thousand miles of coast. This Immense force was mus tered out of service as rapidly as possible. Months of pay were due to more than half the army; the closing bounty was due to all; and the sailors, besides back-pay, had millions of prize money to receive. This vast sum wa's to be pro vided at once, and the people supplied it. Thus, within one hundred and seventy-four days after Grant's closing victory, the Treasury disbursed e 625,000,000. That is more than three-fourths of the sum stated by Mr. Seymour as the war and navy expenses of the last three years, and intended by him to convoy the impression that such was the current rate of those ex penses—and these three-fourths of the whole amount he mentions were disbursed in one sum at the close of hostilities, as the necessary ex pense of mustering out the vast forces of the 'Union. These $625,000,000, being deducted from Mr. Seymour's total of $800,000,000, show that the current legitimate expenses of both branches have been $175,000,000, or a little more than $58,000,000 for each year.. Now, as to compara tive Democratic economy, it appears that in the year 18b8, under Mr. Buchanan, the ex penses of the navy were $14,000,000 in gold, and —of the army nearly $26,000,000 in gold: for both nearly $40,000,000 in gold, for a' smaller army anctliavy than those which the re bellion bas rendered necessary. That Is to say, thearmy to-day, under the management of Gene ral Grant, costs much less per regiment in paper than it cost per regiment in gold under the last Democratic administration. "Mr. Horatio Seymour, it seems,quotes figures, and partly by concealing, party by distorting their true significance, produces an entirely false impression." Genuine .. Democracy. The Old Guard is the only avowed Democratic 'magazine in the North. What it says, therefore, on the political situation, has special weight. Hero is what it, declares will be the result if its party regains power • The return of the Democratic party to power willtintore - ttte Constitution - and the-Union. With rhio rpfitnratinn of the Constitution and the Union will return also the rights, t'e equa y, an' sovereignty of the States. Then the status of the negro in each State will be fixed and con trolled by the State itself. All that has been done in violation of the Constitution, or by the sup pression of the sovereign rights of the States, is null and void; all that the States have been made to do by threats and intimidations is also utterly void in law. The restoration of the Constitution and the Union will make all things right again, and the negro will remain politically and socially where nature's God has placed him.' It then proceeds to argue that nature's God has placed the negro in a condition of slavery. Btit to put the climax on It all, it adds: "The cause upheld by Jefferson Davis is the -cause of God, liberty and American civilization, while that upheld by Abraham Lincoln, which blindly and impiously strives to reverse natural order and amalgamate races, is the most impious, =cursed, and monstrous that ever insulted heaven or outraged earth since time began. "Under the military rule of Congress and its negroes, those communities of the South are no more States than the raid of a banditti is govern ment. All that Congress has done, or is doing, is null and void in law, and will be swept clean Pau ay the next hour after the Union is truly re stored. Then, if the States so please, they may .awfully treat to halters all caught within their jurisdiction who have been concerned in over throwing their government." Is it possible that any loyal man, especially ony Union soldier, will vote with a party that in dorses such atrocious sentiments as these? The Old Guard is more frank than politic. The Neg - ro at Tammany. The Cincinnati Oommercial says: "It has been stoutly denied that there was a negro delegate in the Tammany Convention. But the fact is now pretty well established that Joseph E. Williams, a colored man, was a Demo cratic delegate from Tennessee. He is a black carpet-bagger at that, having been born and raised in Philadelphia, and having resided in Washington at the outbreak of the rebellion. What manner of man this Williams is can be in= -ferred from a sketch of his subsequent career, which we fled in the Detroit Post. The writer, an Mt army officer, says: "'When Major George Stearns, of Boston, was sent by the Governor to Nashville, in 1863. to raise and organize colored troops, having become acquainted with Mr. Williams, he took him along to assist in raising recruits. Not meeting his expectations, Williams was as igned to my regi ment (Thirteenth U. S. C. 1.) as se jeant major, from which position he was reduce to the ranks ke withln two months, "for incompeten y and diso bedience of orders." From that time forward the "guard house report" will give his principal record. He was court-martialed th.ree times, and sentenced to "hard labor with ball and chain, and loss of pay;" was sent to the guard-house dozens of times by his com manding officers for insolence and disobedience; was always taken sick when a march or tight was anticipated, was never in any but fist-fights, in - which he was always at fault and sure to get whipped; was "missing" at the battle of .N.lsh vile and the subsequent campaign against Hood; in which his regiment took 'a prominent part, and was held in contempt by the lowest private in the regiment.' "Just the man q for the occasion—a black com- Tiement to the White Boys in B.uo, and the proper clay out of which to model a Plampton- Blair Democrat." Presidential Paragraphs. A correspondent with Ot. eral Grant sends this ctory from the plains: In crossing the Plains from the terminus of the Kansas Pacific Railroad to Denver City, one •of the liveliest and most agreeable incidents was the meeting of the upward and downward bound `stages. At once, upon the meetings of the two , coacher away out on the boundless prairies, out of sight of land elsewhere, the passengers of both dismounted and proceeded to strike out a "left-land" acquaintc.nce. The strangers were introduced 'o Gilueral Grant and his party; as great an amount o' 'ollity as was possible was compressed into the limited space of a few ml- nutes, a Leneral :retching of limbs and inflation ~ 1 - lungs was indulged in, there -were loud and long cheers fur the distinguished Gc - • -a:s,a rapid mounting to inside seats an .1 top, a waving of hats in the air, a cracking of whips, a rattling of wheels and -a good-bye, for the party were off. On one of these occasions a solitary individual maintained his seat in the down coach while all others, what ever their political sentiments, eagerly dis mounted to greet the General. At the conclusion of the interview three cheers were unanimously given for General Grant. The "solitary indt viduar thereupon blurted out,with his proboscis through the woadotv: "lioo-ray far Seymour!" A groan from the drivers greettxl this Demf era ir- iffit itErfiptban, Said the driver of the tourists' coach to Jehu No. 2: "Moze, I be blessed if I'd drive that cuss So the station for the coach and the homes to boot!" —The &. Louie Democrat tells the following : 'General Grant was walking in Fourth street on Saturday, when he was accosted by a promi -nent Democrat of the Copperhead persuasion, as follows: "All, General, yon are looking ; I .am glad to see that these Rebels pitching into yon do not wear you down much." "No," the General quickly replied ; "you Rebels have been pitching into me for several years, and it has not troubled me much." - "But during the war,Geueral, we were divided, the War Democrats. Aped you. Now you have them all against you "Well I think not; I think the real War Dem ocrats.are as much o 'posed to Rehellion as Way were during the war,. nd will vote as they tought, to sustain the Gove • ment and the laws " The Copperhead • raked away unhappy. —An Omaha co •spondent of a Democratic paper says that Mr. Seymour promised before the Convention to address the people "west of the Big Muddy," bet that his nomination pre vents his doing it. We are sorry for the people "west of the Big Muddy," but Seymour has done the next best thing for them, in writing a letter which gives them another "Big Muddy.' —Since the operations of the Vigilance Com mittee in Seymour, Ind., they call lynching"Sey mouring," out West. This is doubly hard on Horatio, us he of course loses a vote in each case of "Seymouring." Well Answered. John A. Bingham, of Ohio, was speaking at Bangor, Me., when a drunken fellow shouted-, "How, about Mrs. Barrett?" There was a me thod in the fellow's madness, for he know that Mr. Bingham was chief Government counsel in the trial of the assassins of Mr. Lincoln. " How about her?" instantly responded Mr. Bingham. "Go an d consult the records of the court that tried a t fil convicted her. Go and ask Gen. Han coc , ho Issued the order for her execution in spi of a writ of habeas corpus which had been served upon him ; and, if you are still unsatisfied, go and ask that apostate President, Andrew John son, 'why ho refused a pardon after a petition had been sent him signed by every member bat one of the court who tried her, and drawn up in the handwriting of the man you seek to insult."

The Congressional Convention will be called at an early day, after which little busi ness will be attended to outside of politics. Meet ings of various kinds are being prepared for in all the villages and cities, similar to that held in Atlantic City -on Saturday afternoon, and a general up-rising of the people in favor of Grant, Colfax and the entire Republican ticket, is ma turing. Candidates flit Assembly are to be selected from the best men, and everything so arranged as to give efficiency and strength to the Union Republican cause. ON A Tom—The Camden Boat Club started on a cruise along the New Jersey coast on Saturday, to be gone two weeks. A number of prominent gentlemen accompanied the expedition, and as the excursion is one designed expressly for a pleasure trip, the party will stop at Cape Island, Atlantic City, and other points, before they re turn home. REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. The Camden County Convention has been called for Septem ber 3d, at Chew's Landing., for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Sheriff, and three Coroners. A muss meeting is,, to be held in the afternoon, and able speakers will be present to address the people. GRANT AND COLFAX.—A day or two since a splendid Grant and Colfax polo was raised at Twelfth and Market streets, in Camden, and an other is soon to be placed in position at Fourth and Plum streets. Flags bearing the names of the Republican candidates will be thrown to the breeze from these poles, on suitable occasions. OFFICERS APROINTED.—The police force of Camden hes been increased by the appointment of Charles Stiles, William B. Hawkins and Samuel H. Rider. Covent Garden Bouquets are usually made with one grand centre flower. The makers tie a long piece of thread to the stem of this flower, and then flx all the other flowers round it in circles, or they use single stemless flowers and wire, mixed with moss, accord ing to the Parisian fashion; but Spanish ruffles art the best—they are much superior to wire. The rush most in request among French flower girls is a species of Junctis, remark able for its closeness; it is tough, when dried, and quite stiff. _ All these rushes_coate_trom Spain, and with them and stalkless„,bottorns 1 • • wi m a very ew momen s construct a pretty nosegay. Say lilac is the flower about to be arranged: Take a rush, double it, put the flower at the point of doubling and secure it with thread; then give it a necklace of moss fastened by the same, and turn the thread round the rush, fasten it off, and dip the so ornamented stalk in water. The moist moss will keep the flower fresh, Proceed in the same way with other blossoms until you get all the colors you require, then bind them all together, and few persons will imagine that your exquisite bouquet is composed of flowers which an ordinary English flower girl would have thrown under her board. One advantage in these rush-made bouquets is that the stem is so fine. You get a large bouquet, ten inches in diameter, and a handle to it about the size of your finger: were the flow ers on their own hook or handle the affair would be very bulky. Every person who attempts to fix a bouquet ought to have an eye for color. It is now an established fact that those colors called "com plimentary, " look better than the ones said to "harmonize" with each other do, in a nosegay; so place blues with the orange, and yellows with the violet; let white divide dis affected hues, and above all things give to whites and reds lots of foliage. The following is a good rule for finding the contrast of any color: "Cut out a circular piece of the petal of any flower and put it on white paper, lobk at it fixedly for a few seconds with one eye, then look off the color on to a piece of white paper and you will see bilght ring of another color; that ring or circle is the right complimentary color or contrast to the color in the petal." Red will harmonize with orange, but green is the contrast to red; a rose surrounded with moss or leaves looks better than it would placed next to a yellow calceolaria. Follow "nature" as closely as possible in your ar rangement of colors and you cannot fail to produce a good effect. Study nature's blend ing, and copy it when you make up your bouquets. Did you ever see a fair girl who understood color in an orange dress, or a dark one in blue? I feel quite vexed at times to witness the entire disregard of color shown by some women, and more especially to see how they carry the most unsuitable bouquets—why, the bouquets ought to match the dress. A camelia alba is a nice centre flower for a bouquet encircled with heliotropes,red rose buds, white heath and blue violets. The fol lowing is the arrangement for a "winter" Faris nosegay ; Centre camelia , Ist circle, heliotropes; 2d, red rosebuds half open; 3d, white heath, in spikes; 4th, red pinks; th, blue violets; Gth, red rosebuds again; and 7th, white heath in spikes. The French six-quartered bouquets, which were fashionable some years since, were made in two colors, and were very formaL Fern leaves, parsley and carrot leaves are used largely in France; they are elegant and graceful looking, and that is the chief point, not the costliness of the things; but parsley' has one objectionable quality, it has a strong and, to some people, disagreeable smell. Somebouquets are made by enclosing the large flowers in a circle of small ones, Take, for instance, a white rose and secure, with rush and string, a circle of blue Gentiana acaulis round it, then take another white flower, and encirce it with pink blossoms, a third with red, a fourth with yellow; and so on, taking care when you put all the centres together in your bouquet, that you do not disarrange the different circles. Ido not like this style any more than I do the six-quar tered—they are both formal. Influence of Marriage on Longevity. The Journal des Connaissances Medi cates publishes some statistics, lately commu nicated to the Royal Society of Edinburgh by Dr. Stark, on the effects o Marriage on f\ tt longevity. It appears that bet' een the ages of 20 and 25, the number of d aths among bachelors is double of those that occur among married men. This inequality of mortality diminishes during the subsequent ages, but the advantage always remains on the side of the votaries of Hymen. Thus, from the age of 20 to the termination of life, the average attained by married men is 594 years, while that of bachelors is only 40. In other words, after the age of 20, the former are likely to live 19i years longer than the latter. After the age of 25, the average life of married men is somewhat more than 60, while it is not quite 48 for bachelors. This curious fact shows that the chances of life vary with every age, and that the mere fact of our having attained a certain period is a sort of earnest of sufficient vital powers to carry tie to a later age. Styles of Bouquets. !From an English paper.] "About one-balf of a bachelor Who:idle be fore thirty,while.on the contrary the ithmense majority of married men live to between CO and 80. Regarding females, the difference in the duration of life between married and un married women is not so great as among the other sex, nevertheless, it is still considerably in favor of the former. In wedlock, it is true, females are more subject to premature death than otherwise during three quinquen nial periods, viz., from 15 to 20, from 20 to 25, and from 25 to 30; but they find ample compensation between the ages of 30 and 40, when spinsters in their turn die in much greater numbers. The latter get ahead again between the ages of 40 and 50; but beyond that period the advantage constantly remains with married women." The. Truffle—What it le and How Weed., The truffle is a kind of mushroom, or a fleshy, fungus structure, and of a roundish figure, found buried in the soil of woods at a depth of several inches, and it is much es teemed as an esculent. It is not very exten sively known in this country, but it is very popular in France, where the yield this year is reported to be enormous. French dishes dressed with this vegetable are considered more thrupting than when dressed in our fashioif The history of the truffle has a de cidedly classical character. The earliast notice of it that has been found, is in the annals of Athens, by whose wealthy popula tion it was held in high estimation. The best and most valued roots were found in Thrace. In Rome this vegetable was even more appreciated. At splendid banquets where many thousands of the tongues of birds were served at table, the rarest truffles were used as a condiment to stimulate the sickly appe tites of Lucullus and Vitellius. Modern natu ralists have likewise devoted some attention and inquiry to the matter, and -the general opinion is that the truffle is a kind of mush room or gall nut, growing beneath the sur face of the earth on the root of the oak, just as the real gall is formed on its branches. It is also found near birch, elm and other forest trees. The best` specimens are--black.-A white variety is found in the deserts of Arabia in profusion, where it is of the same use to the inhabitants that potatoes are in this coun try. In India a liquor is distilled from it which is highly prized by the na tives. It Aequires a year to bring the roots to a state of maturity. .In France spaniels, are used in searching for these underground vegetables. The value of the crop is not generally known in this coun try. - In the year 1885 over ZDO - ,000 pounds of truffles were exported from the French ports to supply the English and American markets, as well as those of Sweden, Russia and Turkey. The value of this export was about $11:21),Olia, __Thu exports; have gradually__ been increasing from year to year, amounting .• r. . ear y one an. a quarter million dollars. Among noted gen tlemen, Nvho were passionately fond of truffles, we find mentioned Emperor Soulouque, of Hayti, the first Napoleon, M. le Dec de Cam baceres, M. de Talleyrand, M. de Martigne, Lord Byron, Rossini and Baron Rothschild. —English paper.
