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."
