A2fTU0 Y II. KOEMEll. OBITUARY. Hon. William H. Seward. lion. Williao II. Seward died at his residence in Auburn, New York, on the ium insc. xlr. Seward's health has been failing for some time, and he, him self, was aware of the rapid declination ot his physical powers. His mind, how ever, was bright and vigorous, and he engaged in literaj labors until a very short period before his death. Since his return from his journey around the world he has confined himself principally to his residence, where he engaged himself in writing memories of his busy and event ful life, as well as a narrative of his recent tour. Latterly his system became so weakened that he became bedfast, and, gradually sinking, he breathed his last at twenty minutes past three o'clock Thurs day afternoon. Hon. William II. Seward was born in Florida, Orange county, New York, May IG, 1801, and wa? the son of Judge Samuel S. Seward. He had three bro thers, the two eldest of whom, Benjamin J. and Edwin Polydore, are dead, aud the youngest, George W. Seward, resides in Georgia. He had also two sisters, both of whom have been dead lor some years. Graduating at Union College, Sche nectady, in 1820, he studied law under John Duer and Ogden Hoffman, and was admitted to the bar in 1822. In the following year he removed to Auburn, where he has resided ever since, and entered upon nis career as a lawyer. He soon rose in his profession, and made his mark as an able aud thorough jurist. Iu 1830 he was elected to the State Senate for four years, and in 1834 he was nominated on the Whig ticket for Gov ernor, but was defeated. He was again nominated for the same office in 183S, aud being elected, he entered upon the discharge of his duties iu 1S39. During his administration he devoted himself with energy to the prosecution of internal im provements, aud to reforming the public school system of the State. Mr. Seward held the office of Governor for four years, ami ou the expiration of his second term he declined a re election, and returned to the practice of his profession. In March, ISPJ.he was chosen United States Senator, and held the positiou until he was invited to enter the Cabinet of Mr. Lincoln, in March, 1SG1. During his Senatorial career Mr. Seward became the acknowledged leader of the new Republican party, and for many years he was the foremost man in its ranks. Ou the 25th of October, 1858, at Rochester, New York, he delivered a speccii. in which he laid down so thoroughly and clearly the principles in volved in l lie "irrepressible couflict" be tween freedom and slavery, that it be came the key note to that conflict until the war of words was ended by an appeal to the sword. When the National Re publican Covention assembled at Chicago in May, 18G0, be was regarded as the most formidable candidate for the nomin ation. , On the first ballot he received 173 J votes, Mr. Lincoln receiving but 102, the whole number being 465, and 233 necessary to a choice. Ou the second ballot the vote ftood for Seward, 154 J, and for Lincoln, 1S1 ; on the third ballot, for Seward, 180, and for Lincoln, 231 J, within 2 votC3 of the number required. Ou the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln he received the first position in the Cabinet, and one for which he was eminently fitted. His course as Secretary of State is still fiesh in the memory of his countrymen, and hia efficient services in the couduct of our foreign relations had no small effect upou the grand result of the war. Rut for his sagacity aud good management there is little doubt that a foreign war would have been precipitated upon the country when such an event would have undoubtedly secured the independence of the Southern States. His conduct of the case of Mason aud Slideil, was marked by broad and statesmanlike views, and calculated to advance his reputation as a diplomatist. On October 12, 18G1, Messrs. Mason and Slideil embarked for Europe, the for mer as Confederate commissioner to Eng land the latter in a like capacity to France. On the 24th the party arrived at Havana, where they embarked, on November 7, on the Royal English mail steamer Trent. On the following day, Admiral, then Captain Wilkes, in command of the United States man of war Sui Jacinto, overhauled the Trent in the Rahama Channel, and seized the two commis sioners and their secretaries, in defiance of the protest of the commader of the Trent and of the English mail agent, Commander Williams. Admiral Wilkes carried his prisoners to New York, whence they were re moved to iort Warren, in the harbor of Roston, by order of Secre tary Seward. Finding a war with Great Britain the inevitable result of a persistence in hold ing these persons, and justly forseeing its disastrous effect to the cause of the nation at such a lime, although the generaldrift of popular sentiment in tha United States was at first in favor of holding on to the four rebel diplomats. Secretary Seward coatrived, by biii-adroitness, to satisfy .the sense of national honor, and, by the course of his argumeut, even placed the British Government iu a humiliating position ou the question of international obligations to respect the flag of neutral aud friendly Powers in time of war. Another achievement which reflected the greatest credit upou his diplomatic career was the French evacuation n Mexico, which was largely brought out uy ma euorts. Under President Johnson's adminlstrji tion he commenced the agitation of the Alabama claims question, and secured ine purchase ot Alaska. The attempted assasination of Mr Seward on the ever memorable niht of April 14 is still a vivid recollectiou of . . the American people. On his recovery he was continued at the bead of President Johnsons administration, and was an ardent supporter of his policy of recon struction. After holding the Secretaryship of Ct- f HI r, . ... oiaie lur eigut years, iur. oewara with drew entirely from public life, and in the fall of 18G9, made a journey to the Pacific coast, where he was lor some time guest of the city of San Francisco. About the 1st of October he left on a visit to Mexico, at the capital of which nation he was re ceived with the greatest enthusiasm by both the government and the people. tic returned by way of V era Cruz aud Havana, arriving in New York citv in March, 1870, where he was tendered a formal reception by the citv irovernment In August, 1870, Mr. Seward, aeain started on an extensive tour, making the entire circuit of the world, bv wav of San Francisco, Japan, China, Rritish India, Tuikey, and several of the European States, and was everywhere the recipient ot the highest honors as an eminent re presentative of the Great! Republic, and as a tribute to his worldwide fame as a statesman. More Mormon Recruits. The steamer Minnesota, brought out five hundred steerage passengers enroute for Utah, uuder charge of one of Brigham Young's most successful agents. Many nationalities were represseuted, English and Welsh predominating. The Danes, however, were in great force and Swiss, Germaus, Scandinavians, and Dutch were not wanting, but to the honor of Ireland, be it said, there was not a single repre sentative of the Emerald Isle. If the Mormon saints are looking to Europe to supply them at once with fresh blood and vigor, they will undoubtedly be disappointed by the general appear ance of this batch of recruits. A more unpromissiog lot never landed at Castle Garden. The majority are young child ren, the woman having an average of about three each. These are for the most part strong and healthy. From the ad aults, however, but little can be hoped. By far the greater number, both males and females, are between the age of sixty and ninety. Helpless deformity is common among both adults and children. Several are lame, two or three hunchbacked, and four blind ; but all, young and old, halt maimed, and blind, were looking forward with eager expectancy to the new life, full of hope and promise, which they have been led to believe awaits them in the far off Mormon territory. The decrepit group, however was not without its attractions in the shape of feminine youth and beauty. Some eight or ten young girls, between the ages of fifteen and twenty, gave life and vivacity to the party. They wero looking for ward with perfect composure to the mar tial fate in store for them. One of them, a remarkably attractive English girl, about . seventeen years of age, gave the reporter her reasons for embracing the Mormon faith. "Many hands," she said, "make light labor. In England one wo man is obliged to do all the work of a household, whereas in Utah it is divided among six or feven ; the more the bet ter." Having neither the ability nor inclina tion to refute so ingenious an argument, the reporter addressed a red haired wo man of about sixty, who, with some two or three others was in charge of a blear eyed gentleman, with a short clay pipe in his mouth. Her husband, she said, had gone out a few weeks before her. Another had left her partner in England, and he was to follow her shortly. Very few more accompanied by their husbands, though nearly every man had charge of more than one woman. N. Y. Paper. A Louisiana Planter for Grant. Mr. Henry Ware, a large planter of Iberville parish, Louisiana, ha3 written a letter to the New Orleans National Re publican, in which he denies a current report that he favors the election of Gree ley, and says : "I prefer General Grant first, because I think he is decidedly the safest and best man for the postion, and secondly, because I think it unwise in the people of Louisiana at this time to form or encourage a party in opposition to the 'Grant Republican party,' for the reason that a very large portion of our voting population (I mean the black po pulatioq) are Grant Republicans from the very nature of things, and we could not expect them to be otherwise." The Rev. W. A. Card said in a recent sermon at Sandwich, Illinois : "God took General Grant from a tannery and placed him in the White House, where he has been for years, aud where I lwpe he will remain four years longer. I am going to give him my vote this fall, and if he dou't get every one of yjur votes, I shall pray God to forgive you,." That Card, is trump. AFTER. When the history of the late State campaign comes to be written there will pe said of that it was remarkable for noth ing else so much as for the spirit of per sonal malignity permeating the whole con test, and showing itself in all forms and expressions of vituperative abuse. Iu this wrong acainst the sanctitv of private character a large number of those journals wnicn blindly owe their allegiance to the one party or the other, fully and un scruplously participated ; they not only attempted to debase in the public mind the characters of the promineut political leaders, but, losing self-control, in par tisan real they waged a Billinsgate war upon each other. In such a strife The Inquirer felt that it could not, in defer ence to the respect it owed itself as well as that which it owed its readers, have any part. We did not believe that such a contest had the sympathy of the peo ple, and the result has showed that we were right. We doubt if any other case, whatever, contributed so largely to give General IIartranft so overwhelming a victory as that of the personal abuse which his enemies poured upon him. The people of this country are not only intelligent to seize the truth, but they are quick and sure to be just. The record of the Gov ernor elect had been open to his fellow citizens for ten years. During the war of the rebellion he had fought wisely and bravely for the Union, and afterward he had served the State intelligently and honestly in a high civil capacity. The people, to whom he appealed for higher honors, did not for forget the spleudid record he had made, and, though a par tisan pres3 sought to deface it aod to dis honor him, the people used their intel ligence, and, seeing the truth, they were, above all, just to the soldier and civilian who had deserved well of his country His victory was a protest against the malignant slanders of this enemies and a vindication of his character. In a little while he will enter upon the duties of his office, and, while as general in the army and auditor of the Common wealth, he has compelled confidence, his future is to be judged by what he will do, not by what he has done. The people have elected him Governor because they believed he was best fitted for that place, and if he governs so as to make their be lief good, he is now only at the beginniug of his upward career. The additional news which we print this morning from Indiana and Ohio seems to determine definitely the re clcc- tion of President Grant in November next. This result cannot detract in any way from the respect that the Americau people entertain lor the personal charac ter of Mr. Greeley, but it shows that they preler that the administration which has largely reduced taxation, rapidly ex tinguished the vast war debt and main tained peace at home and abroad, shall have another lease of power. Under it the country has been successful be'ond example, aud the country grows in wealth only as the many arc prospered in their daily ventures. The nation, Fpeaking through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Nebraska at the polls, has expressed its coDhdcnce in l'resident Grant, and de clared him to be its choice for the Presi dency. We think this verdict its con elusive ; and it was made especially em phatic in I'ennsylvania against 31 r. Gree ley by the Protectionists, who were not williug to trust his anti tariff allies. There is scarcely a single interest in this Commonwealth, scarcely an employer or employee, who is not directly interested in the maintenance of a protective tariff. It is a measure vital to Pennsylvania, and no candidate, no matter what his personal character may be, can hope to succeed to the people s support who is not fully trusted as a Protectionist. The complexion of the Legislature is changed. In the Senate there will he a working majority, and iu the House Re ublicans will largely outnumber the op position. They say they did what they thought best for the good of the Com mouwealth, aud now, finding that the people's view were not theirs, they sub mit to the will of the majority, and arc willing to use whatever influence they possess toward helping (he Republican party in November to a more assured and nigual victory. Will 31 r. Eruett and Mr. Mann decided to take them in out of the cold or not ? Philadelphia Inquirer. Decline in the Gold Yield of California. From the San Francisco A'ta, Sept. 2'3. The yield of this State in precious me tals is decreasing tdowly but steadily. Numerously claims that have been work ed by sluicing and the hydraulic process are exhausted every year, and very few are opened. The productive aurilcrous quartz mines are not increasing in num ber and importance, perhaps because many of the most intelligent and enter prising miners aud mining engineers find a larger profit in the Nevada silver miues, which more than compensate, by their rising importance, for the decline in the yield of California. At present the Ely district is the favorite ol both miners aud speculators, aud the wonderful pro ductiveness of a few mines, and the rich ness of the ores found in a number of others, contribute, with the rapid iucrense of the yield for the last two ye tra, to ex cuse, if not fully justify, the expectation that Pioche will iu 1S73 export more sil vcr thau iriuu City. Delaware Water Gap. The "season" at the Delaware Water Gap, as at all the places of summer re sort, is now near its close. Last week the number of boarders at the hotels was quite small probably not much exceed ing one hundred in all. The cool nights have led the crowd to seek their homes in the cities and towns, and only a few lingerers are left to enjoy the sceuery which brightens with, each successive day. The frost is already tinging the fol iage on the mountain sides and clothing their massive surfaces with variegated beauty. In many respects the present is the best time for a transient visit to this romantic region. The proprietors of the hotels and their assistants now recognize each individual guest as "a man and a brother," instead of lumping him with the indiscriminate throng of travelers who resort to their halls in July and August. The boatmen are considerate aud com municative, and row you tenderly and carefully to the very brink of the rapids beyond Mount Minsi. The man with the "cold air cave" unlocks his door with politeness and bows you into his deir with wonderful consideration. The photograp her has plenty of time to wait upon you, and show you his assortment of stereo scopic and larger pictures. It is just the time to go to the Water Gap if you wish to enjoy yourself and be flattered into the belief that you are "somebody." The past season, we are told, has been a pleas ant and successful oue. A large new ho tel, on the highest point of the mount above the railway station, has been filled with visitors, and many have been turn ed away. This house has "all the mod ern improvements, and somewhat re sembles the large hotels at the sea side. Its porticoes command a beautiful view. The height above the Delaware is 400 feet. The old Kittatinny House is half way up more accessible and more home like. It is comfortable without preten sion, and lively without frivolity. Both ol these houses are kept by members of the Brodhead family, who are the great people of the Water Gap world. The Glen wood House is back from the river some distance, but is frequented by many quiet families. The sensation of the lat season has been the discovery of a "cold air cave, ou the south side or .Mount 3Iinsi, two miles or more below the sta tion. The finder was a wood chopper who one day perceived a current of cold air proceeding from chinks ia the jumb led rocks near the base of the mountain. He concluded to investigate, and after great labor moved enough of the stones to find an opening into the side of the cliff. He built these stones into the walls of what seems very much like a bear vault, covered with a slate roof, and serv ing as a vestibule to the mysteries be yond. The idea of a beer vault is further sustained by a cider barrel, with a straw bung, and a number of glasses beside it. Away back in the rear ia a bulwark of huge boulders, from the crevices, of which a perceptible current of air rushes from the interior of the mountain. Where it finds ingress none can tell The temperature is said to be from 40 to 50 degrees much colder than the outer air. It is a big refrigerator. To those who expect a grand natural curiosity it also appears to be a big ' sell." It was asserted that a person had crept in to a depth of sixty feet, finding there a space large enough to turn a wagon in. The one who did this must have been like au eel, for the visible cranny was but a few inches wide. Other features of this mountain region arc attractive to those who dwell among tamer scenery, and there are beautiful drives over toward Stroudsburg. Pike fishing is said to be pretty good in the neighboring creeks, and doubtless there is plentiful game iu the thick forests arouud. The Water Gap is about the nearest accessible moun tain wilderness to the large cities, aud its fame as a healthful and pleasant resort is constantly extending. A Tennessee Democrat for Grant. Colonel V. A. Gaskill, of Chattanooga, Tenn , after supporting the Democratic party for a quarter of a century, and fre pucutly taking the stump in its behalf, lias declared for Grant. Alluding to the Baltimore Convention, he says : Since its adjournment I have tried hard, and some times thought I would stand to Greeley and what now calls itself Democracy. As a Democrat, consistently, 'it cau't be did.' No Democrat, still adhering to old fashioned Jeffersonian Democracy, can consistently support Grant or Greeley. But, as between the two, it appears clear ly to me that a Democrat can more easily support Grant than Greeley." He then enters at large upon a statemeut of his position, and says that "the reasons why Grant, should be preferred to Greeley would make a book." "Dear old Benjamin Shaw," as 3Ir. Genit Smith calls his old abolitionist friend in Vermont, has written a letter to 31 r. Smith, favoring the election of Grant and WiUou. He says that he does not "grudge bis labors aud sufferings for the slaves, but if the Greeley party undo what we have done he could almost weep tears oi blood. Iu Iowa they compare the enthusiasm for Greeley to the raciog qualities of the mud turtle. O'Conor's Opinion of Greeley. The New York Herald's Richmond' correspondent says that Charles O'Conor, iu a letter addressed to him by Jamca Lyons, l'resident of the Louisville Con vention, inquiring whether he would give? an assurance that he would serve if elept ed, and if it was true that he said that 31 r. Greeley was a man of transcendent ability, wrote the following letter"; New York, Sept. 30. 31 y Dear Sir :' If I have said or writteu anything' differ ing, in the slightest degree, from what is contained in my two published communi cations one to the Louisville Convention and one to the committee I posses r.C power of lauguage which would enable me to speak more plainly on any of the subjects there treated of. It may be true, as you Suggest, that the' people will not vote for any man who will not announce, in a public manner, that if elected ho will perve them. If so they will never" vote for me. I should regard such an announcement as one mode of soliciting their support. If the southern people did not know, be fore I said anything on the subject) thafe one of the candidates is a man of tr'aus cendent ability, they are singularly slow' ofapprehension. The desolation of which they complain is attributable to him. The long and disastrous war' that filled his "bloody chasm" with fratricidal slaughter, and involved'the whole coun try iu debt and demoralization, is due to the unequalled energy, combined with folly, of this one exceedingly able, ex ceedingly amiable and exceedingly mis chievous man. I regard the possibility) of his election with inexpressible aver sion. If the ideas of heathen times prevailed1, I would cheerfully surrender my person as a sacrifice on the alter. of that deity whose controlling of events might thus be propitiated and induced to save my country from the impending evil. Tdo-' not write this letter for publication. With unchanged and unchangeable" friendship, respect and esteem, I rem'ainj my dear sir, yours truly. Charles O'Conor. Plants for Sunny Windows;- Vincs for the window, whether in Sum mer or Winter are now' the fashion of all foud of window gardening. A pleasant' idea of what plants to ' place in the win dow is gained from'the following sugges tions of a Boston 'exchange : If your window is suuny, there is no limit to the flowers you may have from Christmas until the wild ones comes again. With two nyauradias, one white and the other purple, with a high colored dwarf nasturtium (or troajolcum, as it is called), and English ivy, and a vigorous plant of German ivy, (or seuccio scandens); you can make a screen for your window more' beautiful than auy Raphael or Da Vinei ever desinged ; for yours is is' the perfect original of their defective reprcstdtatiorx. The vines should be at the boxy so as to-' be trained on the sides and over' the top of the window-frame. Then, close to the door for true to its name, it loves the sun put a heliotrope or two, a trailing Winter blossoming fuchsia, a scarlet geranium, and for the sake of contrast, "a white one, whose flowers have a bright eye in the centre. Do not bo afraid of crowding the plants ; but sow mignionettc: and a sweet alyssum seed, as well as the tiny ones of linaria cymbalaria or coliseum ivy. If not intending to have but one box, do not forget a plant or two of the neat handsomely marked petunias, for they will give you a mass of flowers from, the first week of blooming uutibput out' in the garden in the spriug. Yellow myrtle and the plant commonly called wandering Jew aud ice plant, and.welbas a variety of scxifrage, known as beaf steak geranium, may be made to droop over the front ol'your box, aud their grace ful sprays will reach even to the floor, if. you wish. A Burned City Growing- at the Rate of a House an Hour. The amazing growth of the "new" Chicago is illustrated by the following condcused statement from the Tribune of. that city : "We know of no words that will bet ter convey to persous residing outside of. Chicago au idea of what has been dona in the way of rebuilding the city than to say that beginniug on April 15, 1S72,. and ending December 1, 1872, exclud ing Sundays, counting two hundred work ing days, and each day of eight hours, there will be completed ouo brick, stoue or irou building, twenty-five feet fronts aud from four to six stories high, fo? each hour of that time. In other words, the buildings of that size and charactt r completed, aud that will be completed by December 1, will average on8 foi eaoh. sixty minutes of two huudred days of eighty hours each." The Republicaua of Nebraska are sur prised to find that State put down among the doubtful cues iu eastern papers They consider its electoral' vote is assure for Grant and Wilsou as that of 31aiue and Vermont. 3Jr, Routwell says 3Ir. Greeley asked him, during iho past three year and a half, to do twelve thiugs inconsistent with each other, aud either of which done iu the way he proposed would ba fatal to the buoiuess iutercati of tho country. mi r..!ftiJL lllUIUNfUM
