It is not merely to float with popular currents without a policy or a purpose. On the contrary, 'while our Constitution gives just weight to the public will, its distinguishing feature is that it seeks to protect the rights of minorities. Its greatest glory is that it puts restraints upon p3wer. It gives force and form to those maxims and principles of civil liberty for which the martyrs of freedom have struggled through :ages. It declares the right of the people to be s:.cure in their persons, houses, and papers against unwarrantable searches and s.3izure ; that Congress shall make Well, General,' replied grant, I did the best I could ; I was not expecting this attack, and Wallace has neglected either to move on the enemy's flank, or to come to my assistance.'

It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en gagements to employ these pupils after the completion of their course of study; and they must rely on their own worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ ment in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils to bo selected this year is one shipwright and one engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward their names, with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the Admiralty, not later than the Ist September.

Horatio Seymour's letter, accepting the nomina tion for the Presidency, is dated Utica, August 4. He says he delayed it to see the light the action of Congress would throw upon the interests of the country. Alarm, is what he sees in Congress lest a change of political power will give to the people a clear statement of what has been done with the money drawn from them during the past eight years. We would be sorry to think that that was all the good likely to accrue from such a change, for however curious as history, it would be more to the point if Mr. Seymour busied himself with the best means of meeting the liabilities in curred by the country, a subject he nowhere touches on in his letter, although the strongest plank of the Democratic platform. " The Congressional power," he states, " has not only allied itself with military power, which is to b 3 brought to bear directly upon the elections in many States, but it also holds itself in perpetual session, with the avowed pur pose of making such laws as it shall see fit in view of the elections which will take place within a few weeks. It did not, therefore, adjourn, but took a recess to meet again if its partisan interests shall demand its reassembling. "Never before in the history of our country has Con gress thus taken a menacing attitude towards the electors. Under its influence some of the States organized by its agents are proposing to deprive the people of the right to vote for Presidential electors, and the first bold steps are taken to destroy the rights of suffrage." He repeats that it is the dread of some exposure that drives the Republican party to acts so despe rate and impolitic, which many of their ablest leaders and journals have openly deplored. While the people are haragsed by taxation, while the hours of the labourers' toil are lengthened through the cost of living, and people of all parties desire the restoration of order, confidence, and peace. "Yet at this moment those in power have thrown into the Senate Chamber and Congressional Hall now elements of discord and violence. Men have been admitted as re presentatives of some of the Southern States with the de claration upon their lips that they cannot live in the States they claim to represent without military protection. Those mon are to make laws for the North as well as ihe South. These men, who a few days since were seeking as suppliants that Congress would give them power within their respective States, are to-day the mas ters and controllers of the actions of those bodies. Entering there with minds filled with passions, their first demands have been that Congress shall look upon the States from which they come as in conditions of civil war ; that a majority of their populations, embracing their in telligence, shall be treated as public enemies ; that mili tary forces shall be kept up at the cost of the people of the North, and that there shall be no peace and order at the South save that which is made by arbitrary power. Every intelligent man knows that these men owe their seats in Congress to the disorder in the South." They are prompted to keep the South in anarchy, for while confusion reigns they dispense the profits and honours growing out of a Government by mere force, and they hold positions enabling them not only to urge their views of policy, but enforce them. Without constituents they have more power in the Senate than a majority of the people of the Union in nine of the great States. These people clamour ously insist that they aro the only friends of the Union, though without ability or influence, and the mere creatures of civil convulsion, while the chiefs of the rebellion are quietly engaged in the support of their families and by force of example trying to lead back the Southerners to order and to industry. The last acts of Congress must make it clear to many Republicans—who, though clinging to their party, have regretted its extremes of violence, and cherished the faith that the motives were good, though mistaken—that the party is in such a con dition that, whatever its motives, it cannot carry out a wise and peaceful policy, lie shows it to be a misfortune even to the governing party when its action is unchecked, for the result is to carry out the views of the most unwise and violent of the Radicals. The ablest leaders have ceased to control ; its best members who have warned it against excesses have either been forced to give up their convictions or been driven from its ranks, and with such addi tions as the adventurers from the South what can be expected ? And it is evident that a division of political power is necessary to check the violence of party action. "The election of a Democratic Executive and a majo rity of Democratic members to the House of Representa tives would not give to that party organization the power to make sudden or violent changes, but it would serve to eheck those extreme measures which have been deplored by the best men of both political organizations. The re sult would most certainly lead to that peaceful restoration of the Union and re-establishment of fraternal relation-. ship which the country desires. I am sure the best men of the Republican party deplore as deeply as I do the spirit of violence shown by those recently admitted to seats in Congress from the South. 'lke condition of civil war Which they contemplate must be abhorrent to every right thinking man. I have no mere personal wishes which mislead my judgment in regard to the pending :election. No man ?flu , had iyeighecl aid lawitutcl thQ clutio Vf the Oaco 0 no law resp'cting an establishment of religion, or the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, or the right of the people to p3tition for redress of grievances. It secures the right of a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury. No man can rightfully enter upon the duties of the Presidential office unless he is not only willing to carry out the wishes of the people, ex pressed in a constitutional way, but is also prepared to stand up for the rig7its of minorities. He must be ready to uohold the free exercise of religion. lie must denounce measures which would wrong personal or home rights or the religious conscience of the humblest citizen of the land. He must maintain, without distinction of creed or nationality, all the privileges of American citizenship." The President must be ready not only to undergo the falsehoods and abuses of the bad, but the censure of the good, misled by prejudices and misrepresenta tions. A great change, in Seymour's judgment, is going on in the public mind. The mass of the Re publicans are more thoughtful, temperate, and just. The energy of the Democrats springs from devotion to their cause, and not to their candidates, and never in their political history has a position been hailed with such universal and widespread en thusiasm as that of the National Democratic Con vention. This arises from the desire of the Con servatives to change their political policy, and from confidence that they can carry out their purpose In this they are strengthened by the great body of those who fought for the Union, and having given nearly 16,000 commissions to officers Governor Seymour knows their views. "The Military Convention called on the Government to stop its policy of hate, discord, and disunion, and in terms of fervid eloquence demanded a restoration of the rights and liberties of the American people. When there is such accord between those who proved themselves brave and self-sacrificing in war, and those who aro thoughtful and patriotic in council, I cannot doubt we shall gain a political triumph which will restore our Union, bring back peace and prosperity to our land, and will give us once more the blessings of a wise, economical, and honest Government." Frank Blair made a speech to a great meeting_ . at Leavenworth, Kansas, on the Radical Reconstruction of the South and Gen. Grant's record. He said the Republicans, having lost the confidence of the white people, had resorted to the blacks for support, not from love of the race, but to maintain themselves in power. He had nothing to say against General Grant personally, bis military services would ever be remembered with pride, but since he had en `ered the arena of politics, his acts politically were proper matters for public criticism. Grant had changed his views on the subject of recon struction inconsistently, having at the close of the war urged the immediate admission of Senators and Representatives of the Southern States chosen by the people of the States. The secret of the ad herence of Grant, Sheridan, and other regular offi cers to the Radicals, is that that party, ground ing their policy on a military despotism, must give prominence to officers of the army. He denied that his New York speech was revo lutionary. The people had repudiated Negro Suffrage upon which Reconstruction stood, and a Constitutional overthrow of Reconstruction is but carrying out the express will of the people. The Radical party is the only revolutionary one, and, answering a remark from the crowd, he said it had made Copperheadism respectable. STORIES OF 71IE CANDIDATES. General Grant's father sued Messrs. Mack Brothers, in St. Louis, to recover his share of some speculations in which that firm was engaged. Ac cording to Mr. Grant he obtained a permit from his son for the Mack Brothers to trade in cotton with the South, on condition that he received one-fourth of the proceeds, but that the plaintiffs, after thus realizing a large profit, refused to give him his pro per share of the spoil. Of course such a tale is ' eagerly seized on to show him up as using office to make an illicit profit. Great play has already been made with the Christian names of Grant, and it would never do to let his rival, Seymour, off oo this point. Why, it is asked, has he dropped the second name of "Nelson," his true designation being, it is said, Horatio Nelson S3ymour. It is clear that his name, whether directly or indirectly, reached him from the great English Admiral, and that, coupled with his own " bloated" British aris tocratic appellation, might be offensive to a genuine democratic mob. If Horatio Nelson Seymour be not as English as Grant is Scotch there is no virtue in a name, and even supposing that the Democra tic candidate was able to drop the " Nelson" it would scarcely be possible to obliterate the English of what remained to pit against the " Mailed Scotch tyrant." We learn that in 1863 -Seymour nearly filled (as the Nation says) " a bloody and dis honoured grave." A party of gentlemen, at lunch, were drawn into the discussion of politics, when one, a good Democrat, on being asked if he did not intend to vote for Seymour, answered with a frown, " Never." The speaker, among others, hid aided to defend the Tribune buildings in the riots in 1863. Horatio Seymour was addressing the infuriated crowd, and the speaker, rifle in hand, mentally re solved, as he covered the Governor's heart, that he would send a bullet through it if the mob should leave Seymour to surge towards the buildings ; and he added, "My bullet never fails." General Grant has returned to the plains, and will remain at Galena, Illinois, until December. When at Benton, on the North Platte, he met General Blair ! but notwithstanding the high ap preciation held of him by the latter, who said at St. Louis that he was worth all the others " banged into one," they did not rush into each other's arms, but coldly saluted and passed on. At St. Joseph a crowd assembled on the 29th July and shouted for a speech from Grant. Both parties were pretty equally represented in the mob, and so great was the uproar around the hotel that Gen. Sher man appeared on the balcony and said—" Both General Grant and myself are used to large crowds and cannot be disconcerted ;" adding, " I think the 1 General acts the part of wisdom, considering the position he occupies, in declining to make a speech." As a man here called for three cheers for Seymour, Sherman continued, " If I were a citizen of St. Joseph I would duck that man in the Missouri. We have fought rebels, and we thought they had enough of fighting ; I am about to eat my supper and go to bed, and you out there may do as you please." The following incident is said to have been omitted from the many published biographies of Grant. Of course its truth is vouched for :—" On the evening of Sunday, after the firing had ceased at Shiloh, and Buell had disposed of his forces for the work of the ensuing day, he, for the first time, expressed a desire to see General Grant, and an aid being dispatched, that officer, attended by a few members of his staff, made his appearance, Grant, apparently unsteady, and this time minus the ever lasting cigar. Buell, almost bursting with indigna tion, drew aside from the mingled staffs, and motioned Grant to follow him out of earshot, when the following colloquy (as reported by two reposing soldiers,one of them a drummer in an Ohio regiment, and an intimate acquaintance of the narrator) took place :—" General Buell—' Well, sir, is this a dis play of your generalship ; two-thirds of your army retiring binne daylight, being almost massacred by a superior enemy, and the remainder wan dering leisurely along the banks of the Ten nessee ?' (alluding to General Wallace's, which comprised nearly one-third of Grant's army, s and had not been the enemy during the day).' but a treacherous Democrat has balanced this by thus eulogizing the candidate of his party : "Mr. Seymour is descended from the nobility of England and has bright aristocratic blood in his veins !" Our readers may imagine the horror with which Mr. Seymour read those words. Although Blair is away. in Kan sas the penny-a-liners are busy with his name, and have thrown in, as an apple of discord, that it was he and his soldiers who burnt down Wade Hamp ton's house and stole his plate at the taking of Columbia. Of course substantial proof is forthcoming —at least enough for electioneering tactics. When the war ended, Blair addressed a General Order to his army corps, wherein he told them of the Roman custom in conquered lands to give homesteads to their brave soldiers, which the United States ought to follow. The Government had ample means of doing this from the lands of rebels it had seized, and homesteads should be carved from them. After some of his operations in Tennessee, in reply to Grant's question whether he had taken any pri soners, he said " No, but he had burnt a sight of houses." The investigations into his college career have as yet only produced the assertion of a class mate, who states that " poor Blair's only distinc tion at college was the amputation of a class-mate's nose with a carving-knife in a tipsy spree." Little of late has been heard of Colfax, but the notion gains ground among the Irish that his " Know- Nothing" oath will prevent him from giving office to a single citizen of foreign birth. THE WAR 1N PARAGUAY. The mails from the Brazils and the River Plate, by the French packet Navarre, bring news of the change of Ministry at Rio - de Janeiro ; which is Conservative, composed of men known to be favourable to peace with Paraguay, and it was hoped in Brazil that the war which has cost Brazil so much will now come to an end, either through negotiation or mediation. The Chambers having refused to vote the necessary supplies have been dissolved, and a new one is to be convoked on the 3d of May next. This is a long delay for a country situated as Brazil now is. The new Cabinet (considered to have been elected unconstitutionally) will have to issue pacer money, without any authority to carry on the war, which, if not ended through negotiation of some kind, appears as far from a termination as at first. The last accounts show that the Paraguayans are as determined and brave as ever. On the 9th of July two hundred and fifty Paraguayans, in open canoes, attacked two of the Brazilian ironclads. Nearly all the officers and men of the Rio Grande were killed ; but owing to the fire of the bat teries of •Tayi sweeping the decks of the ironclads, the Paraguayans were unable to carry away their prize, but destroyed the machinery of the steamers. Ilumaita still holds out, and its communication with the Chaco is uninterrupted. Its fall "is still a question of time," as the Brazilians say ; but. that time so anxiously expected during the last three years has not yet come. As usual it was reported that a grand attack wourd be made on the 10;1 of July (the day after the sailing of the steamer) on Timbo, the Paraguayan fort in the Chaco, and " if " curie 1 an assaulton lltunaita would take place immediately. Meanwhile the Province of Corrient3a, whence the Allies get most of their supplies, has been for weeks is open revolt against the Federal Government, and General Caseres has been ravaging and de stroying all the military stores he and his lawless band could get hold of. General Urquiza, the Go vernor of Enter Rios, the neighbouring province of Corrientes, has been calling out the National Guards of his province, and is said to have 16,000 men in arms to oppose the entrance of Government troops into his province; and, as others state, to oppose the election of Senor Sartniento as President of the Confederation. 'Whatever reason General Urquiza, the most powerful military chieftain and friend to Paraguay, had for calling out his troops, the Argentine Confederation seems to be again on the eve of a long and bloody internal strife. At Buenos Ayres the Chamber of Deputies had re jected, by twenty-four against seven, the Protocol annexed to the Treaty of the Triple Alliance. This and the nomination of Sarmiento and Alsina for President and Vice-President, the personal and political enemies of Mitre and his party, was ex pected speedily to break the alliance with Brazil, which is highly unpopular in the River Plate. The monetary crisis in Montevideo still exists, and has greatly affected the money market at Buenos Ayres, where National Bonds are quoted 432, and discount to 2 per cent. per month. The Government at Montevideo ordered that paper money shoald still be taken, and that the banks have as yet no need to resume specie payment, but must redeem 3 per cent. per month of this paper circulation, which is a very heavy amount considering the immense quantity of paper afloat. All the gold has vanished from the market, and people have no money to buy the every-day necessaries of life. News to the 31st July has been received from Rio de Janeiro, which, if confirmed, will finally settle the question between Brazil and Paraguay. The long-delayed attack on Ilutnaita was at last made on the 16th July by 10,000 Allied troops, who were disastrously re pulsed. Their loss is stated, even by the Brazilians, to be 3,000 men ; and therefore when the whole truth is known, will be found to be far more. Au attack had also been made on the position at Chaco, which met with the same result. This furnishes the best proof of the reliability of Brazilian news— the fall of nutnaita having been regarded as a cer tainty ; the only question being the number of days before accomplished. The Chinese Government has employed Dr. J. M‘Gowan, who visited San Francisco some two years ago, to write a book on mining and metallurgy. A Mr. Martin has also been called upon to prepare a work on natural philosophy ; and a Mr. Fryer to make translations of seve ral scientific treatises.

An adjourned inquest has been held at the County Hall, Dolgelly, by Mr. Griffiths Jones Williams, coroner for the county of Merioneth, upon the body of David Jones, aged 58, carrier, of Dowlais, who died on the previous Tuesday from the effects of a fall over a wall on the turnpike-road leading from Dolgelly to Bala. The inquiry had been adjourned from the previous Wednesday in order that Mr. Howell Jones, the landlord of the Howell dda Inn might attend, it being stated by some of the witnesses that the deceased, in a dying and exhausted condition, having lain in the place where he was found for nearly thirty-six hours, was refused admittance to the inn because the lord-lieutenant (Lord Mostyn) and his brother (the Hon. Pryc3 Lloyd) were staying at the house. In summing up, the coroner said that this was the most painful and distressing case that had ever been inquired into before him during his long experience as coroner for the county. He considered that there was a great deal of blame attached to Howell Jones for his treatment of the deceased. It was the most cruel thing that he (the coroner) had ever heard of to refuse admittance to a man who had been found as the deceased was, and who had evidently lain out, in much pain and suffering, all night and the greater part of the following day. It was horrible to think that any human being should be so treated in a Christian country. At Dolgelly, again, it was shown that they had a great deal of trouble to get the man lodgings. He thought the deceased had been very badly treated indeed. He wished such inhuman persons could be reached by the law and treated as they deserved. The jury, he hoped, would append such words to their verdict as would teach such people, if possible, to treat their fellow men in a more humane way for the future. The jury returned the following verdict :—" We find that the deceased died from concussion of the brain, caused by a fall ; and we wish als ) to add, that we are of opinion that the deceased had been very badly treated at Drws-y-nant and at Dolgelly." LAW AND POLICE. EXPENSES IN A PARLIAMENTARY CONTEST.—At the Liverpool Assizes an action was brought by Messrs. Lace and Co., Liverpool attorneys, against Messrs. Hayes and others, who were prominent members of the Chamber of Commerce, for charges incurred in conducting a parlia mentary contest. The defendants were greatly interested in the speedy completion of the great bridge now in course of construction by the London and North-Western Railway Company over the River Mersey at Runcorn, and had taken steps to raise an opposition to the bill by which in 1866 that company sought to obtain a two years' extension of the time for the completion of their works. The petitioners were heard by counsel, but the preamble was proved. The plaintiffs now sought to recover charges amounting to £.325. Mr. Falk was called for the defen dants, and stated that Mr. Bardswell, one of the members of the Chamber of Commerce (who died in October 1866), had expressly consented that the defendants should not 'recur any personal liability, and that the costs would be got out of the London and North-Western Company. DAMAGES FROM SMOKE.-At the same assizes an action was brought by a nurseryman to recover damages for injuries sustained by smoke falling on his fruit. The plaintiff was a nurseryman at Newton-le-Willows, and the works of the defendant were distant about three-quarters of a mile from the gardens of the plaintiff. The jury gave a verdict for £5O. ATTEMPTED DOUBLE MURDER.—At the Leicester Police-court, John Scampton was charged with shooting Robert Parr, and Eleanor Parr Scampton with attempt to murder them. Mrs. Parr, the mother-in-law of the prisoner, raid that the prisoner had been released from en asylum, but had lately lived with his wife. On the 15th instant he &ought home a carving-knife, which circumstance so alarmed his wife that she left the house and went home to her parents, where she with her child had since been residing. Scampton had several times requested his wife to return to him, but she feared to do so, and remained with her father. On Monday morning, having eluded the vigilance of his keeper, Scampton went to the house of Mr. Parr and was refused admission. He went away, but returned again about half-past twelve and knocked at the door, which Mr. Parr went to open, but on perceiving who it was ho attempted to close it again. Scampton, however, placed his foot against the door and kept it a little way open ; he then thrust his arm through the aperture, having a six. chambered revolver in his hand, five of which he fired off in rapid succession. One of the bullets took effect in Mr. Parr's left arm, which was broken in two places. Another of the bullets struck Scampton's own child, a little girl three years old, named Eleanor Parr Scampton, the charge passing completely through the skull. Traces of the other she is were found on the walls and doors in the passage ; one after striking the wall rebounded and passed through a back door into the yard. Three bullets were found in the passage, and another in the street imme diately in front of the house. The accused was remanded for a few days. THE CASE OF MADAME RACHEL—The solicitor of Madame Rachel has given notice to the solicitors for the prosecution that he means, on Friday next, to apply to a judge in chambers to admit her to bail, and has tendered; in the meantime, the names of four persons, two of whom he will then propose as sureties. Before the recent trial she had originally been admitted to bail, herself in £l,OOO and two sureties in £l,OOO each ; but at the sessions before last, when it became necessary for her to enter into fresh recognisances, the previous sureties having declined to stand again, she was unable to find new ones to satisfy the court, and she remained in custody nearly six weeks until her trial.

BARON CLEASBY. —At the judges' chambers, on Tuesday, the newly-appointed Baron of the Exchequer, Mr. Cleasby, attended the hearing of summonses by Mr. Justice Wiles. Either the new baron, or Mr. Justice Hannon, will be the only vacation judge in town. NEW ACT ON PUBLIC DEP ART AI ENTS .—A very beneficial Act was passed on the day of the prorogation to enable public departments to pay sums not exceeding 8100 to others than executors or administrators for civil "services. Hitherto such sums might be paid for " military services," and persons deceased entitled for civil services need not appoint executors for that purpose ; the law is extended to them. INFLUX OF HOP PICKERS.—During the present week many thousands of hop pickers have been conveyed from the metropolis by railway to the hop districts of Kent and Sussex. The picking has already commenced, And will be general during the week. Last year the first train containing hop pickers did not leave London until September 8. The recently-formed society for improving the lodgings of hop pickers has proved most beneficial, as it has prevented much of the misery which these poor persons were formerly compelled to endure. THE RAIN AND THE WINE CROPS IN FRANCE.— After a long drought, rain has become general all over France. In the neighbourhood of Lyons the wet, which has come on at last, continues at intervals to the great satisfaction of the farmers. The vines were losing their leaves on some bill sides, and the grapes were being burnt up by the sun. The present change will not repair the harm that has been done, but it will prevent a further extension. The moisture is softening the skins of the fruit, and is favouring its ripening, which is already advanced. ERUPTION OF VESUVIUS.—A communication from Naples states that Vesuvius is again chewing disquieting symptoms. Deep rumbling sounds are followed by jets of incandescent matter thrown to a great height. The lava frequently appears at the brink of the crater, and then stops. About three in the morning of the 17th instant the spectacle became imposing. Columns of thick smoko rose high in the air, followed by burning stones. After shining for a moment, they fell and rolled still red-het down the sides of the mountain. ,At daybreak the fire $, )
