VTIiy Horatio Seymour Refuses
The lt'mocratic Xoliitudtion.
The Ohio State Journal makes the
following btateineht as to tho r fusalof
Horaii i Seymour to be a cuu iiJate for
President:
"We happen to know that there' is
on file in the State Department sworn
evieeoce of Horatio Seymour's com
plicity with tbe rebellion, for the rea
son that it became our duty while serv
ing in an of.ncial capacity, to prepare
and transmit to the government the ev
idence to which we refer Mr. Sey
mour is propably aware that should he
ever become a candidate for the Pres
ideiicy.the sworn statements of reliable
witnesses, will convict him of having
been, in the fall of 18G4, inconfdemial
correspondence with Clement C. Clay
and James P. Holcombe, then acting
as Commissioners of the Southern
States in Canada. It ii a somewhat
singular, but at the same time ignin
cant fact that the direct proof of Sey
mour's treajonable correspondence with
the enemy has never been made known
to the public."
Tfii? positive statement seems to de
mand attention. If there id any such
evidence on file in the State Depart
ment it ought to be published at once.
A ca'l from Congress would probably
brinsr it forth.
f3flt the folluwitig, ia reference
to Pittsburg be true, that must be a de-
ecable place to live in: Somebody
says Pit-sburg people never have fre.h
air, except when out of town. They
live on coal smoke. The people breathe
j smoke, eat smoke, chew smoke, and
carry it loose in tneir pockets. it is
seventy-two years since Pittsburg has
been warmed or reached by the tun's
rays. Once a streak of sunshine, for
several years condensing, undertook to
I nenetrate the cloud of smoke over' the
city, .got

coal dust to protect their complexion
Little boys and girls stat d on thr cor
ners with wet brrorns and sponges to
wash people's faces for five cents. Ev
erybody is of a color in Pittsburg. At
the postoffice window the clerk distin
guishes people by certain signs, it be
ing impossible to see their faces for
the layers of coal dust and smoke.

TA Democratic leader in Mar

was witty to a fault. At all events,
brief as it is, it expresses the soul of
Democracy, and we copy it for the ben
efit of shallow coperbead orators, who
will save themselves and their hearers
much trouble by adopting it. He said:
"Gentlemen, I am no speech maker;

A Queer Lawsuit.
The Danville, New York, Express
is responsible for the following:
One day last week a lawsuit took
place before Justice McCartney, the
case in point being Charles Ackley
against Michel O'Heara. The action
was brought for use of room, lights
tuel, meals, etc., wiuie defendant was
i . .
"sparking" his Lucinda'at plaintiff's
house. The rosecution bowed that
defendant was at his house from three
to five' nights in a week and usually
stayed until 4 o'clock in the morning,
and sometimes till after breakfas't
that be burred his lights and wood and
used bis room, and naturally concluded
we take it, that as he had alt the fun
to be derived from "sparking such
latehonrs.he ought to pay for the
privilege. The case was exceedingly
amusing, and of course attracted a large
crowd of the "sparking" fraternity,
who were interested pecuniarily in the
rt suit of the action brougtit, a it might
set a precedent whereby they might be
called upon to "fork over" a liberal al
lowance for fights and fuel if for noth,
ing else, and they felt materially re
lieved, no doubt, when the Justice ren
dered hi) verdict of "no cause .for
action." ' ! ' V 1" .
Ay I.ngekious Novelty. -Ao. la
genious Philadelphia!! has invented
and constructed an ingenious device,
by which persons sitting inside their
c'wn houses can see anything that is
pa-sing on the street not. only iu front
of their doors, but for many squares, in
both directions, a.id on both, sides of
the street. It is a simple arrangement
of two mirrors, placed t richtangleB
to each other, and set io a im or lotber
case or frame.Tt is designed to te set
in one 'of -the ' second ' stoyii windows,
and can be used while thtj shutters are
down. " Plasd iu .the tfroptr posii

bell, a matter of no.smaU
convenience
in these days'of troublesome peddlers,
importunate beggars and intruders
generally. But is .most interesting
employment is for the use of invalids,
who cannot look out of the window, and
who would still like the monotony of
th-i sick roam to be relieved by a sign
of what is going on in the street. For
this use it is admirable. It is called
the"window reflector," and is bothsiuv
pie in construction and inexpensive in
cost.
Ohio Mew. The New York Herald
says "the President of the Senate and
prospective Presideut .of the United
Slates, is from Ashtabula, Ohio . Ed.
win M. Stanton is from Stubenville,
Ohio The Chief Justice of the Su
preme Court is from Ohio. Senator
Sherman, of Ohio is Chaiiman of the
Senate Committee on Finance. Bing
ham of Ohio rules the radical wing
in the. House of Representatives.
These facts speak well for Ohio poti
ticiins, and are otherwise suggestive."
The Herald might add that the three
prominent candidates for the Presi
dency Grant. Chase anu Pendleton
are all Ohioans. ,
The New York Atlas a representa
tive Democratic juiirfinl, aud one of the
ablest in that puny, in an editorial urg
ing tbe Democracy to nominate Mr.
Chase for President says: It is idle
to deny the fact, distasteful as it may
be, that as things stand now, the pros
pects of the election of a Democratic
President next November are not very
brilliant." After speaking of other
reasons that tend to election of Grant
it adds: "to all these potent forces tbe
prejudices that exist in many parts of
the country against the organization
on the score of alleged complicity, or
at least sympathy with the rebellion,
and it will be seen that the Democratic
party snust accomplish miracles to win
so unequal a contest."
"Minnesota has made some im
portant changes in her criminal code.
She has practically abolished capital
punishment by the enactment o a law
declaring that no cnmiual hall suffer
the penalty of death without the unan
imous recommendation of the jury.
She has decided that in . all criminal
cases the accused shall be allowed to
testify in his own behalf. And, fur
ther, she has provided that an amend
ment to the Constitution shall be sub
mitted to the'people next November,
abolishing the Grind Jury system.
A KENTUCKY .DEMOCRAT
SEES THE ERROR OF HIS
vTAYS.
Mr. John A. Brooks, member of the
Kentucky Legislature from Webster
having become satisfied that the Dem
ocratic party, as now organized is hos
tile to the true welfare of the country
has resigned his seat in the Legislature
and announces that he will henceforth
support the Republican party. The
following is his letter of resignation.
To the Honorable, the Speaker of the
House of Representatives: ,
Sir: I was elected to represent tbe
county of Webster in the Lower House
of . the Kentucky Legislature, as the
nominee of the Democratic party
Since I have been in the Legislature of
Kentucky, and recently attended upou
the proceedings of the Democratic
State Convention I have become con
vinced that the course observed and
ihe principles now advocated by the
Democratic party are at variance with
the true system of republican govern
ment and tend .to the disorganization of
our social and foITucal fabric. I have
the best good of the country i t bean,
and : cannot longer consent to partic
ipate in producing-continued disorder,
disquiet, and lack of obedience to law
n the conduct of public affairs. Our
country must either be at peace, or
continually disturbed and agitated, our
institutions and laws, duly enacted,
must be maintained, - or we must
degenerate' into anarchy.' I, air, am
for peace, for giving to all men that
equal and exact -justice to which
they are entitled under our form of
government, and by the decrees of
tbe God of nature, l ' t '
iiayesojemniy and seriously
sid ered m yduiy? u nd er the circ
con-
circum-
sta&ees-i-Su'rroundiosr me,- and i have
come tl" ': ; MelitferalV Conclusion' to
puij jvifrpun iu li, a luiuie iu tout
organization which presents the near
est approach to the principles of our
Government.. The Republiaan party
of Kentucky seems to me to be this,
and I to it shall henceforth give my
support.
. It were improper, and perhaps in
delicate, that I should longer maintain
my seat iu the House of Representa
tives, having been elected to that body
as the nominee of the Democratic party.
I therefore, while expressing my pro
found gratitude for the uniform courte
sy and kindness with which my rela
tions with that body have been distin
guished, hereby tender my resignation
as a member of the House of Repre
sentatives. Very respecfully,
John A. Brooks.
The True Reason. Tbe newspa
pers are giving all sorts of reasons to
account for the fact that Jerry Black is
not retained as one of the President's
counsel in the impeachment trial. The
Republican pointed oat the true reason
neany a month ago, by quoting Black's
own language, in an official opinion
given to President Buchaoau in 1860.
We repriduce a portion of that opin
ion : , .
'To the Chief Executive Magistrate
of the Union is confided the solemn
duty of seeing the laws faithfully exe
cuted. But hi power is to
be used only in the manner prescribed
by' the Legislative Department. He
cannot accomplish a legal purpose by
an illegal means, or break the laws
himself to prevent them from being vi
olated by others.
"The acts of Coogresj sometimes
give the President broad discretion in
the use of the means by which they
are to be executed, and sometimes limit
his power so that he can exercise it
only in a certain prescribed manner.
Where tbe law directs a thing to be
done without saying bow, that implies
the power to use such means as may be
necessary and proper to accomplish the
end of the Legislature. ' But where
tbe mode of pertorming a duty is point
ed out by statute, that is the exclusiue
mode, and no other can be followed
The agency which the law furnishes
for its own execution mu-t be used to
the exclusion of all others."
How could Jerry stand up in the
face of that opinion, and defend An
drew Johnson for doirg just what he
unqualifiedly condemned in-the lan
guage quoted above? -
What Makes a. Cut OHffVr. We
commend tho following to' our readers,
"The Philadelphia Bulletin has a
suggestive article oo the causes which
make a city grow. There are many
causes that are , beyond the control of
the city, such as natural increase, ad
vantages of situation, communication or
production, but it is contended that the
character which its inhabitants give to
a city has vastly more to do with its
growth than all the other causes put to
gether. In other wotds, the public
spirit of the citizens determine the
growth of a city. A city attracts pop
ulation when from its many opportuni.
ties for instruction, rational amusements
and healthy recreaction, it becomes a
desirable place to liva in.
There is a constant tendency among
those who havj acquired a competency
in this country to drift toward the cities,
and especially the cities which furnish
the most facilities for living a cultiva
ted and pleasant life. . In this viewil
is seen that the public spirit which in
vejs a city with fine churches, parks,
I-rational and refined amusements, con
eett aiFSfubiic-aiCtaries, etc , is vioJ
reality a common-sense business spirit.
The more public improueraents of this
kind we have, the more certainly will
we draw to our city an increase of per
manent residents. Money invested in
these enterprises will soon be amply
repaid in the growth of the city, and the
growth of the city means the prosperi
ty of the inhabitants. "
' gjNotwithstanJing all Mr. Thud
Stevens brusqueness and contempt of
the little men around him, many stories
are told of his benevolence and sym
pathy with the suffering. Not long
since on hisaway to the Capitol, he met
a poor woman in great distress. sne
told him that she had lost seventy-five r
cents her market money, and that she
had -ao&to-1)5yo63 Tor e r ch rl
dren. " What a lucky woman you are,"
said Mr. Stevens; "I have just found
what you have lost!" putting his hand
in his pocket and giving her a five dol-
ar bill. A few days ago he was ap
pealed to, by a hardworking man who
said he could not get work anywhere.
Well," said Mr. Stevens, "I have
none to give you, but you may consid
er yourself engaged whenever I have;'
and with this he placed a liberal sun
in bis hands. These acts are sponta
neous, and have brightened a long and
tumultuous life.
Jgs5TA Washington correspondent
says that "Andrew Jbonson was strong-
urged to take Charles O'Connor
and William B. Reed for. counsel, but
be would have neither of them. He
has always bated Jeff. Davis, for whom
both these lawyers were counsel, and
will not permit himself to be defended
by the same duality. He selected
Evarts because he was tbe prosecutor
of Jeff Davis. Mr. Johnson would
bang Jeff. Davis the minute he had a
chance. The Mississippi fire-eater and
himself were always deadly enemies."
tySF Sumner's letter to Stanton ex
pands into prolixity when compared
with the letter from a coal merchant to
his agent, which read ";" (see my
coal on), and the answer thereto which
stood ': and signified "coal on," Sim-
arly concise was tbe letter of another
merchant to bis factor in the metropolis,
which consisted of a "?" and received
for a reply -O.''
6$iFAn exchange, describing the
ocation of three prominent institutions
of their city, says: ,
"Tbe medical college is on the road
to the cemetery; the divinity college on
tbe road to the poor house; and the law
school on the road to the jail.
gfThe hostility of Democrrts to
colored suffrage will not be abated by
the way the negroes acted at Memphis
recently. It seems the Memphis reb
els were not 'only beaten in the muni
cipal election of the 17ih ult., but they
were outwitted by the colored voters.
The latter were told by their secession
ist employers that they must vote the
"conservative" ticket or lose their pla
ces. They professed great zeal, and
were much petted by the men who ex
pected to get their ballots. When
election' day came only one hundred
negroes out of about five thousand,
supported the anu Republican candi
dates, and the one hundred, as the
Avalanche scornfully admits, cost' the
"Conservatives" 85,000. ' : '
STWe have heard a great , deaf
from Democratic orators ana .newspa!
pers in regard to the incompetency .."of
the Republican Senators to sit as juror
on the trial of Andrew Johnson. How.
is it with the Democratic members?
have they not been as loud-mouihed in
declaring his innocence as the . Repubv
licans hia guilt? Yea, verily! - - And'
does any one have any doubt how they,
will all vote when the final questfuu'
is submitted? The only question-in-.
the case is, can tbe House convince ihV
Republican Senators that ; Andrew' " '
Johnson has been guilty of high crimes''
and fnisdemeaniorn, for which he
ought to be impeached? The mind of
