The CONSEQUENCES OF THE DEFEAT or SEWARD
AT CmcA0o.-There Is no disguising the faot
that everywhere throughout the North the
republicans are filled with deep disappolnt-
ment at the action Of the Chicago Convention
In rejecting William II. Seward, an able states
man-the man who created and built up the
republican party. Nowhere is this disappoint-
ment more keenly felt than In the State Of New
York, where q visible gloom hangs over the
whole rank and file of the republican host
Whatever some interested leaders may say to
the contrary. As for Mr.. Seward himself, there
is every reason to believe that he will retire
from public affairs utterly disguised with IN
uDgrateful party, who knew not how to appre-
ciate his merits or Its own situation. Had he
been defeated by the democracy, that would be
nothing. But to be 80 wounded In the house
Of his friends Is political death. Thurlow
Weed will probably sell out the Ecening
Journal and retreat into private life; and
many of Stewards personal and influential
friends will maintain sullen reserve and keep
aloof from the party, while the general effect
upon II will be that the democrats who Joined
draw and return to the democracy; so that in
q short time there will be nothing left of the
great republican organization but the old abo-
nton rump.
Greeley and Blair intrigued against Seward
because they could not bend him to their
selfish views. They succeeded in overthrowing
him; but with him they have overthrow the
party, whose head and front he was The re
publican managers, envious Of his superiority,
and unable to control him, have offered him q
sacrifice; but they have lost everything and
gained nothing by the course they have pur-
sued. They have lost his ability, statesman
ship, and successful prestige in the Empire
State, and lost that enthusiasm which
the name of the prophet of the higher law
would be sure to inspire among his followers
while they will fail to conciliate the conserva.
tism of the Middle States-the ostensible object
for which they brew him overheard. The OBJ
security of Lincoln has been calculated upon as
an element of success; but 1t Is known that
be preceded Seward in the announcement Of
the 'irrepressible conflict" and his language
was even more violent than that of the Roches-
ter manifesto. Lincoln, too, Is . man who
would be more likely to be driven to extremes
by his party, If successful, than William H.
Seward, whose cool and cautious sagacity
would perhaps restrain him within the bounds
of moderation, so soon as he reached the sum-
NIT of his ambition and he felt the weight of .
vast responsibility pressing upon his shoulders
Is President of thirty.three united States.
In fine, the republican leaders have done
their party such irreparable mischief at
Chicago that 1t only remains for the democrats
to unite upon good candidate in order to
have q walk oyer the course In this State, to
say nothing of other Northern States, and to
carry the election In November by sweeping
majority.

SEr THIEF TO CATcu ATHrEF.-we see that
some Of the Boston police have been arrested
on the charge Of being aecompliees In Sc
veral burglaries recently committed In that
city. Similar facts were not long since brought
to light In connection with the police Of Phila-
delphIa. Az regards our own police, It Is GER
tain that unless there was frequent completely
on their part one half the burglaries that are
committed In New York could not be effected.
We are not one bit better of In the way Of
protection than the people Of Mexico. The
only difference Is that there the thieves and
bapditti are recruited from the army, whilst
here they are recruited from the police.

The RICHMOND CoNvENTI0N-WHAT IT OUGHT
TO Do.-The democratic party have the game
In their hands If they only play their cards
right But there is some danger that the per-
verseness of faction will throw away the
chances which the blunder of the republican
party, In nominating Lincoln instead of
Seward, has given them. That there will be
two democratic conventions Is evident-one
meeting ct Richmond on the 14th of June,
representing q majority Of the democracy of
the Southern States In point of delegates, and
representing the whole fifteen Southern States
and two Northern In point Of principle, thus
constituting ell the democratic States and
majority Of oil the States In the Union-the
other meeting at Baltimore on the 18th Of
June, representing Northern sentiment alone
a. regards principles, and for the most part
Northern and republican States - regards
delegates.
II these two conventions should run seps-
rate tickets, what chance ID there Of the success
of either! None whatever. The members Of the
convention which Is to assemble at Baltimore
are supposed to be 20 welded to one man that
they viii not have any other; and the members
of the Richmond Conventions are believed to be
80 hostile to the same man that they viii not
have him In any event. Butifthey will nothave
him, his election IL impossible. Under these
circumstances therefore, the Richmond Conven-
ton, which meets first, ought to make good
nomination for President, selecting q sound
Northern man, whose record isunimpeachable -
such as Lane or Dickinson-with Southern man
for Vice President. They would thus throw
the onus upon the other convention of either
adopting him, or putting itself In the wrong,
by losing the election and breaking up the demo.
cratic party forever. We have no doubt that
II the Richmond Convention will pursue this
course the Baltimore Convention will be COM
PEELED to follow suit. The cohesive power Of
the public plumber Is strong ct the North, and
no convention Of Northern democrats will, with
their eyes open, reject the only chance that 10
left them of securing the spoils, and rush upon
their fate, for the sake Of Stephen A. Douglas
or any other living man.

EFFORTS TO BRING OR HoRArIo SEYMOUR
ron THE PREsrDEScY.-There Is an intrigue on
hand to bring out Horatio Seymour, Of this
State, at the Baltimore Convention. But II
will not do. He has been too long and too in
timately connected with the Albany Regency
the clique who are responsible for the break
ing up of the Charleston Convention. 1t Is
their game TO strip him for the race as soon o.
they can kill Off Douglas. But they are In too
bad odor with the South to succeed In this
scheme. They were sufficiently found out at
Charleston. The opinions expressed Of them
by Judge Brooks, to their faces, In one Conven-
ton, by Mr.. Bayard In another, aad in the
speeches which we published yesterday OF Mr..
Yancey In Alabama, and Of Mr.. Butler In
Massachusetts,, are the prevailing sentiments Of
the whole country, North and South. The

WASHINGTON, March 26.-In the Senate on Fri
day last Mr. Toombs reported bill repeating the
second section of the act passed in June 1858, which
provided for the settlement Of certain land claims
in Missouri and which has been made to include
the Houmas land claims of Louisiana.
Toombs' bill gives the District Courts OF Louisi-
ana jurisdiction in these cases, and authorizes
claimants to employ counsel at their own expense
It also compels claimants to commence judicial
proceedings against the United States within two
years after the passage of this bill, in default of
which, or in case of failure to establish their claims,
the lands will be treated as a part of the public
domain.
To-day the Senate passed the Pacihc telegraph
bill by vote of rs yeas to Is nays
The diplomatic appropriation bill was taken up,
amended and passed.
IN the House, Mr.. Curtis introduced Pacific
Railroad BILL which was referred to the Committee
appointed for the consideration OF such bills.
Mr. Garnett, of Virginia, introduced bill to en-
able the citizens of the United States to carry theii
property freely and without molestation into the
Territory of Kansas. The bill was referred to the
Committee on Judiciary, after the Introduction o
several resolutions and the inquiry as to the adop
ton of others-all possessing no Importance
Mr.. Blake, tRepublican) of Ohio, offered pre-
amble and resolutions to the following effect.
That holding persons as property is contrary t,

By the above table, there were received last
year after the lst of April, at all the ports $40 532
bales The overland receipts last year were, in
full, s5 1921 bales; but what part of this quantity
was received after the LIST of April is not very i'm
portant item just at this time. It will be observed
that, although the general footing up at all the
ports only count up 3,T22, OILS bales by the above
figures, and 3,72l, ,97o by cur New Orleans Price
Current, yet when the yearly tables and state
ment were made up the standard footed up 1851,
4s1 bales. If the same course is followed this sea
son. that is after all the receipts at the ports are
brought in, and the same ratio of bales counted in
as 10000 were last year, we may come to the
cusion that fully 1l5 900 will have to be counted in
next Augustin the general statements of New York.
There has not been much talk lately about sandy
and dusty cotton. We, however, hear of much
talk about many tens of thousands of bales of low
qualities composing part of the stock now on the
market or in the warehouses. Quantity appears to
be the ruling feature in gathering the crop of 1859
Qast Year,. In fact quantity, as in ls57'5s, has
taken the precedence of quality. Good and clean
cotton, chasing from Middling up, say worth from
| lOs@1la and l2c., will be in request. From our
| English correspondence we observe that Mr. Sey-
mour White of Texas, has been endeavoring to en-
| tighten the Manchester and Lancashire spinners.
| His communication appears to have attracted the
notice of the Manchester Examiner. We publish
under our financial head the remarks of our trans
Atlantic customer or representative of our good
cousins. 1t will be an uphill work for the Texas
gentleman to remove the prevailing impressions o
Britshers in regard TO sandy and dusty cotton
| There is new invention attached to many gins
now sold which is intended to clean cotton from al
sand, dust, leaves and notes in general, which
with some little more attention given by planters
in person to their gn-honses, cleaning and baling
will, it is hoped, obyiate complaints hereafter.
