TIE LAST CARD!

District Attorney Butler has applied the
match to the train which was to blow up Gen.
HARRISON The explosion occurred, the trag-
ments have faen the smoke has cleared away,
and Messrs. Butler, lIoyt and Edmonds arc the
only sufferers They with their "pgcon' Ste
venson stand exposed in flagitious attempt to
suborn Glentworth into charges against Gov.
SEWARD. TO accomplish this. the worthless
offered him the Consulship at lIavre and money
in hand They, of course, attempt to save
themselves by impcachng their own witness,
the man on whose information all their charges
of fraud were based.
There is no principle Of law better settled
than that a mans confessions, when relied
on, must all be taken together. Now Messrs
Butler, IIoyt, Edmonds & Co. found charge
of fraud against the wings upon Glentworth's
confessions to Stevenson. Glentworth then
goes on and tells all that occurred The consp-
rators wanted him to implicate Gov. SEWARD,
and when he hcstatcd he was taken by Ste
venson to Collector Ioyt's house, where he met
the pio,ls B. F. Butler and the honest J. w. Ed
monds, who urged him to make charges against
the Governor. The favor and protection Of the
President was pledged to Glcntworth. Mr.
Butler promised to "dvide his last cent with
him. Edmonds proffcred the Consulship at
Havre. Stevenson told him that the Collector
and District Attorney would give him $4,000 to
pay a pressing demand. And all assured him
that with their unlimited influence at Washing
ton, he would be provided for if he would rem
der them the delicate but important favor OF
falsely duplicating Gov. SEWARD in charge Of
fraud and corruption!
Such is the position of the conspirators =
They deny (who would not y that they made
these offers to Glentworth But in doing so
they impeach their own witness Besides, thei
dcnials arc not made under oath. They arr

Four such immaculacs as Butler, IIoyt, Ed

MAINE ELEcTIoN.-The Governor and coun-
Gil of Maine have counted and declared the vote
in Maine for members of Congress, given at the
time of the late Governors election. The
whole number of Wing votes given in the State
including 30 scattering, was 453l7, the whole
number of Van Buren, votes, including Lowell
and Wheeler in the Washington district, Ham,
bin and Ingalls, in the Penobscot district, Lit
tefed and Paris in the Oxford district, togeth-
err with 1913 scattering, is 49, ITO, making Wing
majority Of 237 and a net Wing gain of 6,734
votes compared with the clectian of $780,
This affords strong presumption that the re-
turns in the Wing papers, showing that Gov.
Kent is elected, is correct. Bat if this be not
proved, it shows couclusively majority of Wing
votes in the Congressional election over the
whole number of Van Buren, votes, and that
the same majority of Wing votes, with at lcas,
an equal prospect of increase with the other
side, can carry the Wing electoral ticket.

il Mr. Hoyt the collectorthey can do any thing; and

because deponcnt declined to involve himself, by
compliance with the overturcs made to dcponent at

And dcponcnt farther saith, that he is now satisfied
that he has been the dupc of conspiracy which,
der the pretencc of gaining the compel Gov.
Seward to continue deponent in Office and thereby to

object to induce doponen by promises of reward, and
then by THREATS OF PROSECUTION, to become

Sworn this 23d day of Octobcr 1870 before me,
J. p. PRissoN,
Commissioner of Deeds.
We ask honest men to look at this transaction
in its true light, and pronounce an honest verdict
Here are the U. s. District Attorney, the Colec-
Tor Of the port of New York, and other officials
offering to "divide their fortunes, even to the last
crust,'-tendering the offices and honors of the
govcrnment--ayc, proposing TO pay two thousand
dollars as an earnest; and for what Not to OBJ
tain the truth but to induce an individual to
"furnsh eridence 10 implicate Cor. Serard," in
a transaction with which he was not in the re-
hottest degree connectcd Such is the despcra-
ton of Locofocosm This is Mr.. Van Buren's
last card! We defy the annals of crime TO show
an instance of parallel atrocity. 1t should, it
will, stir up the Indignation of the American
people. What man is safe--of what avail is
the farest rcputation--while such unannointcd
miscreants occupy the seats of honor, and WELD
the power and patronage of the government =
When such men as SEWARD are pitched upon
as victims, God may know whose turn it will be
next No man is safe, whose character or intlu-
encc is worth preserving; and had Glentworth
been composed of the yielding material they sup
posed him, Gov. Seward might have fallen VIC
tim to these wretches. Can cause, propped
by such supports, stand the test of the ballot
box! 1t cannot; and the ides of November
will prove it.

A par AT.T.ET.

The conspiracy of Butler and Hoyt to destroy
Seward, though one of uncommon atrocity, is not
without a parallel. Bold and reckless as these
men undoubtedly arc, yet they had not quite
nerve enough, and sought out Glentwortli as the
plant tool to do the act they were afraid to do in
person. Aware that an act of such atrocity re-
CURED uncommon inducements, we find them
extremely lavish in protestations OF lovc-pedg-
ing him money, Office, honors, and moiety of
their fortunes, seven to the last crust" Client
worth, it seems, did not take the hint but an
swered in that dubious manner which left him
his own way, while he seemed to listen to their
entreaty. There is similar case on record.
The reader Of Shakespeare will remember the
passage in which King John intimatcs to Hubert
his desire that he should murder Arthur and
the manner in which Hubert answers him. The
cases are similar. Both are specimens of hints
from those who would acquire power, regardless
Of the means.
X. John, Come hither, Hubert, o my gentle Hubert
We owe thee much within this wall of flesh
There is a soul counts thee her creditor,
And with advantage means to pay thy love-
by heaven Hubert, ain almost ashamd
To say what good respect have Of thee.
Hub. am much bounden to your majesty
K John Good friend, thou has, no need to say Sc
YETI
----Yet love thee we'll
And, by my troth, think, thou lowest me well.
| HUB SO well that what you bid me undertake
Though, that my death were adjunct to to my act,
| BY heaven I'd do it.
| X. John. Don know thou wouldst?
Good Hubert Hubert, Hubert, Mro,r thine rye
TOLL Tra
| He is very serpent in my ,rdy;
And whcreso err this foo, of mine doth tread
| He lies before me Dos thou understand me I
| Thou duhiS keeper!
| Hubert. ----And I1riU keep him so,
That he shall not cgend your majesty.
Hubert, when called upon to act, and put on
the eyes of Arthur, revots, and exclaims
Il will not touch thine eyes
| For all the treasure tina, thine uncle owns"
The reader can turn to the passage whcr
the dialogue is given at length, and follow OH
the parallel at leisure.
To Butler and Hoy, Seward was "ver
serpent in the way" and wheresoe'r the part
trod he lay before it. TO dispose of him, S
that he should not "olfend their majestes,
was the service required of Glentworth; BIT
the individual they had selected as assassin, wa
not villain enough to carry out their designs
His soul rcvolted at the atrocty, and he spurno
the bribc. TO suppose that these foul conspir;
tors will escape the fate that awaited the
"llustrious predecessor" is to impcach til
Justice of an overrulng Providence.
