• WE have apparently reliable authority for
the statement that Chief Justice Chase has
declared himself well satisfied - with the Dem
•cratic nominees, and announced his deter
mination to give them his support. The
statement iu the 'Radical papers that the
Chase Committee in , Nett' York had "come
out in favor of Grnut," is flow pronounced
false, and a leading member of that Commit
tee has written'• a letter saying that Mr.
Chase's friends trill sustain Gev. Seymour.
Their influence in the canvass will ensure
us Ohio certainly, and be of valuable assk
mime in a number of other States..
PILFADEtit JOHNSON has vetoed . the in
iquitous bill referred to in our last, enabling
Congress to deprive- any of the Southern
States which may sustain Seymour & Blair
of its representation in the Electoral Col
lege. With cluiracteriblic shamelessness,
Congress refused the Message The conution
courtesy of a reading, awl both Douses im
mediately passed the bill over the veto. IC
enough Northern States, go Democratic, to
elect ouriandidate with the aid of the South
ern vote, and the Radicals use this bill to de
feat his election, we warn them in advance
that they can prepare for one of the liveliest
times chronicled in the history of nations.
ANOTHER LETTER OF' THANKS.
The conspicuous part which Gov. Seymour
took in putting down the rebellion is au
thenticated by authority ,;f such a character
that none but anoqt. depraved enemies
will dare to as,ail him on that point. On
our first page we publkh a letter of thanks
which President Lincoln directed to be sent
him for his efficient services when Pennsyl
vania was invaded by Lee in 1863. Below .
we publish another epistle froin one who
stands only second to Lincoln in Radical es
teem, and which wns, like the one first
alluded to, purely voluntary on the part of
ifs author :

IN accordance with the Reconstruction
acts, North Carolina, South Carolina and
Louisiana are again represented in Congress . ,

AMENDMENTS KUGGESTED,
The President, on Saturday, t.ent a special
message to Congress, wherein he recom-
Mends an amendment of the Constitution, so
that the people may vote directly for Presi
dent and Vice-President, instead of, as k now
done, through the cumbersome machinery of
Electoral Colleges:' and that they hold olliee
for six years instead of four ; and that if both
become incapacitated, the Secretary of State,.
and so in order through the members of the
Cabinet, shall fill the otliec of President till
another election be laid. lle also advises
that United States Senators be chosen direct
ly by the people, instead of by the Legisla:
tures; and that the Judges of the Supreme
Courthe appointed for terms of twelve iears
instead of for life. Some of these recommen
dations are very good, but with the present
compcAtion of Congress and the State Leg
islature; they will receive no attention in
those. quarters. The Radical hate azaiust
Johnson is so intense that if he were to send
ift , a message advocating the Christian relig
ion, Congress would receive it with jeers
and denunciation.

THE Democratic ticket is at length ac
knowledged by the Radicals to have carried
Mis-issippi by seven or eight thousand major
ity. The Legislature has a Democratic ma
jority of six in the Senate and four in the
House. The negroes voted the Democratic'
ticket by thousands, ss they will in every
Southern State this fall, if the right means
- are employed. The reasons which induced
them to do so in Mi-si , sippi are explained by
corresponlent of the New York Times,
writing from Grenada, in that State:
'The real cause of MC: action of the ne
groes can be found to have grown out of the
many outrages inflicted upon them by un
scrupulous Freedmen's Moreau agents and
mercenary business adventures, added to the
violent manner in which the various garri
sons almost invariably treat them when off
duty, and, in filet, while on duty too, as when
ever called upon to check any branch of the
peace by them, they manifest a desire to ex
asperate the negroes to that resistance which
will cover rough treatment of them. There
is much bitterness e>isting On both sides,
and the negroes-at first regarding them as
both deliverers and protectors, now deem
them their worst foes. These things ,have
combined to cause this abused race to. turn
to their former ne - e,ters for advice and gui
dance in all things, and produced that mu
tual i•onti,lence which, beyond all else, mo. i t
effeetively - comluves to the future prosperity
of the South, that prosperity being depen

NEGRO RIOT IN TEXAS.
Telegraphic di-patches from Galveston,
TeNils, inform us of a serious riot at Millican,
in that State, on the 15th inst. A mob of
about twenty-live negroes;led by a white
school-teacher and a negro preacher, named
Brooks, attempted to hang u man named
William Halliday, but the white citizens in
terfered to prevent the execution, and headed
by the sheriff and the agent of the Freed
men's Bureau, attenipted to suppress the mob.
The result was the death of ten or twpvc
negroes. On the IGth inst., the numbers in
creased on both sides, and skirmishing oc
curred during the day, the ttintateil number
of casualities being twenty-five. A small
body. of troops arrived and disperled the ri-•
oters, after killing three negroes. The latter,
numbering between three and five hundred,
had fortified themselves three miles from ,
Millican, and refused to lay down their arms
until the troops dispersed them. The entire
loss was between fifty and sixty persons.
The dilliculty is said to haye arisen from

meeting in Cleveland, of which we give a
few extracts to show its general spirit:

been laboring, not to heal sectional wounds
and the - bitterness engendered by war, but to
see by what assumptions of power they could

The gentle Anna Dickinson will not be as
great a favorite with our lecture goers here
after as she has been in the past. There was
a time when the male andlemale Radicals of
this city idolized,, and would have travelled
fifty miles to hear her; but that immortal era,
alas! has departed. The secret of her faded
glory may be told' in a few words—she can't
support Grant. Haying a mind of her own,
as none who have nut her will dispute, being
strong ire her convictions of duty, and know
ing Grant to be unfit for the Presidency, she
bad the unparallelled effrontery to say what
she thought, and intolerant Hadicalism drop

red-hot poker. Some extracts from her late
lecture at Elmira may not be without inter

loving way in which she deals with those
who fall beneath tier dislike:

memory of its good deeds.

It is not sufficient that Grant was a soldier.
McClellan was a soldier—Fitz John Porter
was a soldier. It is not sufficient to write
against any man's name—soldier.

the champion of Proscriptive and Prohibi

Enrron OusEuxF.n—Dcar
seen through all the Republican journals
statements that the Democrats were disaffec
ted by the nomination of Seymour and Blair,
I have concluded to give you a few facts.
Haying occasion to pass through a large part
of Erie county and portions of Crawford, and
having talked with very many of both polit
ical parties; I - find that the Republican state
ments are the exact reverse of the truth.
Gov. Seymour his a hold upon the affections
of the people which no other Democratic pol
itician has ever had, and being long known
and adinired as a leader of the party, the vo
ters in the rural districts are unanimous in
their support of him. They say, also, that
the platform adopted by the Democratic Na
tional Convention meets their views entirely,
and that the choice of Seymour and Blair as
our standard bearers ensures - success to the
Democracy. I have also talked with many
Republicans who profess to be pleased with
the Democratic nominations, and some have
said that no change could be for the worse,
and they believed it absolutely necessary to
reverse .the order of political things before
they could be bettered; consequently they
would vote the Democratic ticket. I recall
to my mind one now with whom I have la
bored In times. past, trying to convince him
of the error of his ways without success, and
who informed me this week that lie would
hereafter act with the Democrats. lam hap
py to say that he is now a subscriber to the
Observer. The facts which I have stated can
be proved, if not to the entire satisfaction, at
least to the entire conviction of any doubting
Republican. Truly yours, AJAX.

• Feeling Dreadfully Bine!
[From the N. Y. World.]
In canvassing the otiestion witli the dele
gates to the Convention since the nomi
nation was made, the following States are
put do wn as sure for Seymour and Blair :
• Connecticut 6, New York 33, New Jersey
7, Pennsylvania 26, Ohio 21, Indiana 13, Ne

Kentucky 11, Missouri 11, Kansas 3, Wiscon

One hundred and fifty-nine ate all that is
necessary for election, and in the above
tables there are one hundred and sixty eke
toral votes without counting one of the
Southern States engaged in the rebellion. In
the list of States given, every one, save three
in which a:State election has been held in the
last eighteen months, has gone Democratic.
l
i
In all, the local elections have e. 'Whited
great Democratic gains, sufficient to insure
the State for the Democracy this fal . We
have not counted Illinois in the list, but the
delegates to the Convention declared that
there was no doubt but Pendleton could car
ry that State. if it would be certain for Pen
dlelon, then it can be safely counted for Sey
mour and Blair. Iu addition to this, the States
of Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi, are cer
tain to give a Democratic majority with any
fair chance for voting, which will give 24
more electoral votes and swell the Dein
cratic column to 184. The Republicans arc
)slating to exclude the votes of the States
of Virginia, Texas and 'Mississippi, by legis
lation in Congress. If the electoral votes of
these States are not counted, then there will
be in the Electoral College 294 votes, and 148
will be all that will be necessary to elect.
The Democracy can then lose Ohio, and still
secure a majority of the Electoral College,
without counting any from the South ; orgy
carrying Ohio, they can lose Missouri, Wis
consin, and Kansas, and still elect their ticket
without receiving a vote from the South.
There is, therefore, every reason for encour
agement to the petnocracy, and the election
of Seymour and , Blair may be put down asm

[From the N. Y. Tribune.]
We have a glass of Republicans who
would have tried the patience of Job. When
ever the current sets against us,---as it did
last Fall—they will do nothing; arguing that
success is hopeless and effort fruitles-; ; 'and,
when the current is with us, they will do
next to nothing, arguing that effort is need
less—that we can't help winning. Hence, in
our gmattimes, they are worth exactly their '
own votes • while in other imes, they do not
even vote, but, by their di. ml croaking, de
moralize those who otherwise would.
Just now, this class have taken up the cry
that the adversary has ruined his prospects
by his preposterous nominations at Tammany
Hall. * * * They regard
the Democratic nominations as a joke, and
arc quietly settling don in the comforting
delusion that there will be no contest—that
Grant and Colfax will walk over the course.
And now, should the October Elections go
against us, these very men will insist that
we are beaten beyond hope, and will be as

We have not a doubt that a large majority
of the American people prefer the election
of Grant and Colfax to that of Seymour and
Blair. We confidently expect that majority
to vindicate itself in the result of the can
vass. Yet, were the Republicans to forbear
effort, on the presumption that effort was
needless, they would be defeated. We shitll
carry the election, because we shall deserve
success by solid, steady work ; and they who
imply that such work is not needed are the
most dangerous enemies of our candidates
and our cause.
POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.
HON. GEORGE H. PENDLETON has taken
the stump for Seymour. and Blair.
'WANTED. -A. fishwife to swear at Gover
nor Seymour from now till November. Ap

THE Wheeling Intelligencer says: "Mr.

vote."
SomMtony asks ' the question: "'What
should honest, patriotic men do to save the
country ?" Vote the Democratic ticket, to
be sure.
SEYmorn and the abolition of the negro
bureau ; Grant and the maintenance of four
millions of blacks at the expense of the North.
Make your choice!
Tim Pittsburgh Commercial 'says that Gen.
Grant has "boldly played his part." lie
has on several occasions done more than
that—he has played a double part.
THE New Turk Sun (Independent) gives
up New York 'to the Democrats, saying:
" Our conclusion, looking calmly and impar
tially et the whole question, is, that the De
mocracy must carry New York in spite of
everything."
GEN. FR.4.14:1: P. Brim fought in more than
two score battles, and yet he is denounced in
unmeasured terms by the men who stayed at
home and sold shoddy cloth, bad coffee and
paper-soled shoes to the soldiers. Such
Radical loyally.
Two papers are issued from the printing
establishment of dames Gordon Bennett, New
York; the Herald in the morning and the
Telegram In the evening. The former op
poses Seymour and Blair, the latter supports
them. Bennett is bound to win on one track
or the other.
'Din Radicals in Congress have declared
that for the
_choice of a President every
Southern State which votes the Democratic
ticket cannot vote ; any State which testifies
its fidelity to Radicalism in advance can.
This Is the Grant idea of a Republican form
of Government.
" LET us have peace said Hiram Ulysses
Grant to the Chicago convenlionists ! and
Hiram is having it severely. He arrived last
week in St. Louis, not having been disturbed
by any evidence of enthusiasm, during the
whole route from Washington. • Again we
say, "Let us have pewter'
Ttm N. Y. Commercial Advertiser say;;'
"Several Republican papers take it for
granted, since the nomination of Seymour
and Blair, that Grant and Colfax will walk
over the course next fall without any trouble.
Mistaken Republicans! Do not be deluded.
You must work for victory. You cannot
win without haft' work,"
Tar Republican` papers are delighted to
quote extracts from the London Times and
other English organs, denoudeing Horatio
Seymour. We arc glad John Bull shows his
hand thus early in the campaign and that he
is opposed to the Democracy as usual. We
;should begin to think there was something
wrong if the British were in fityor of our side .
A GREAT meeting to ratify the nominations
of Seymour and Blair, was held in New
York. Among the speakers who addressed
this meeting, was Maj. Gen. Green Clay
Smith, of Kentucky, who was - elected to
Congress from that State, in 18(15, as a "Re
pubhcan." He endorsed the nominations
most heartily, and predicted their triumphant
SUCCESS.
SENATOR HENDRICKS opened the campaign
last week in the Senate in an able speech ar
raigning the Jacobins, and placing them on
the defensive. Ile spoke of Grant as a dis
ling:tithed soldier, and of Colfax as an emi
nent civilian, but charged home on their
platform and the political record of their par
ty. Ile eulogized Seymour and Blair, and
expressed entire confidence in the success of
the ticket.
Trim nomination of Seymour for President
is already giving confidence to the country.
The'money article in the Philadelphia Led
ger of the 10th inst., says: "There was more
activity in the market 'for Government loans
yesterday, and after the announcement of the
nomination of Horatio' Seymour, of New
York, by the Democratic Convention, as its
candidate for President, _there WM a ruther
adynnvo in prico."
IT is in vain that our Republican cotem
pnraries endeavor to revive the passions and
the prejudices of the war. Their owl]

people would not share it. The party cries;

which were sucees,ful liatr year- ago becau se
of the eNcited and p.l- . .donate temper of the
public mind, to-day not only tail, bill they

IN a eertain sense the Radical party, as a
;tarty, fins been an immense stweess. It has
done its best to les , en the liberties, of the
people and to increase their taxes. Since the
close of the war, more than fifteen, hundred
millions of dollars bare been taken by the
tax collectors front the people's pockets, and
since ,Lee's surrender the Government has
borrowed eight hundred millions of dollars
more. What has been done with tire money?
Has the debt been paid with it ? It is larger
thanever. It baq , one - to llpii. , rl idle negroes
at the South ; it ruts been used to maintain a
huge standing army in time of peace, for the
sole purpose of keeping the white citizens in
ten states under the law of the bayonet;' it
has gone into the pockets of the 101 l "rings."
In November the people will dispose of these

Titu Wwhington corie.pondent ..f the N.

and have no reason to believe that any great

the approval of all MOll who were candidates.

the ruinous policy of a large majority in both

Nor long ago, the Independent published
a statement that a certain candidate for the
Presidency had "bven seen unmistakably
drunk in the streiqc of Washintrton tlw An

on the snlijeet and the Tri mute gave-tit - cu•

same man had been seen in the Executive
Mansion. "zo drunk that he could hardly
stand on his legs." That there might be no
mistake as to the man, Wendell Phillips, in
a speech at Worcester, said that Grant "could
not stand up before a bottle of liquor with
out falling down," Did tliey tell the truth
then, or do they falsify when they deity now
that Grant is intemperate'
A ttitts.vr dual is skid about repudiating the
Federal debt. Some,pcople arc very nervous
upon this subject. Did it ever occur to such
people that 600,(H)0 blacks will vote for mem
bers of Congress at the next election ? And
are those who profess to bc.in so great trepi
dation about the safety of the "nation's hon
or," such ,fitnb-skulls that they cannot see
that these MAO blacks have not a single
rusty nickel at stake in this matter? Nay, is
it not their interest to favor repudiation, in
order to relieve themselves-of taxes Which
they already complain of as oppressive? •If
there be danger of repudiation in any quarter,
it is, as a contemporary very truly remarks,
in the negro vote.
WITII three or tl.ar exceptions, there have
been no men in the Pre , idential chair, since
the origin of the Government, possessing, the
eminent qualifications and superior talents
and cultivation of Iloratio Seymour. He is
one of the truly great men of the country,
for whom every one may be proud to cast a
vote, It is about time that we hail a first
class ststesrnan in the Presideatial oftice—:
when thalposition - was givenito the most
brilliant m intellect and the Most solid in

and rudeness have bad the. rae , ideney fin ,

alone, was put in high places.

Everybody to his taste ! It is the taste of
Mr. Grant to prefer black to 'White. He

policy, disgusted with a candidate who has
"no policy," and eager to support a party
that has a positive candidate and a positive
policy.
A cdmtrsroxm:NT from Flori.la craves a

ME New York Tribune interprets Gem
Grant's no policy as follows! "If Congress
remains Republican, Gen. Grant executes
Republican laws' witb out question. If
.Con
gross becomes Democratic, he executes Dem
ocratic policies with equal readiness and
decision.' This, according to the Tribune,
is "the true theory of Republican Govern

Fon a young, man to mist his vote for the

THE New York Herald, during the sitting
