The TRIBUNE ON SEwARD.-No man, now.
a-days, can make conservative speech
whether in the Senate or elsewhere, withou,
bringing down upon his head the denuncia'
tions of the ultras. The best evidence that
Seward has done himself credit lies in the
fact that while the Southern ullras denouncs
him, because he didn't go far enough that
is turn Calhoun Democrat outright-the ul-
tras of his own party denounce him for going
too far. The Tribune says:
In his speech in the Senate on Thursday
last he proclaimed that the Republican party
and its platform of principles was to pass
away in order to save the Union The ex-
tension of slavery, he also tells us, "has
ceased to be practical, vital question" If,
then, the Republican platform be renounced
and it the demands of slavery are no longer
to be sternly, unfiinchingly met with consti-
tutional resistance. but are to be treated with
new concessions and new compromises, how,
we ask, is there any longer vital relation
between Mr.. Seward and the Republican
party? He sets aside its principles, he re-
pudiates its policy, he places himselfin direct
antagonsm with the President it has just
elected aud SO far as his influence reaches,
he uctHorallLeS Ihe epirlI Vi ltS raHkS. lHese
are not pleasant things to say. We say them
with grief and sorrow. But they are facts
which cannot be hidden under ambiguous
phrases They point to the humiliation of
freedom and of the North; Just as did Mr..
Webster's speech of the 7th of March. And
in view of facts like these, are we TO be
charged with endeavors to expel Mr.. Seward
from the Republican party? We expel no
body; but why should we shut our eyes to
the truth that an eminent leader has adopted
new views and a new policy, and has aban-
doned and renounced those with which his
name has hitherto been identified? This new
position is one that he has chosen for himself
aud until he returns to the old standards he
does not. of course, desire to be counted

THE following items are from the Butte
Record, of Saturday:
CoNvIorED-Guy F. Seely, indicted for an
slult with intent to commit murder, at
Mooreville, some time last fall, has been tried
and convicted. The facts, as developed in
the trial of the case, are, in substance, as
follows: 1t appears that some time before
the assault was committed, Seeley and his
wife separated. After the separation, Seeley
solicited and obtained an interview with Mr.
John A. Crawford, who, at the time, was
confined to his room with aibroken leg, and
requested him to write letter to his (See>
ley's) wife, who was then in Forbestown, ex-
pressing sentiments of love for her, and to
show him the answer, if he received one, as
he wanted to get enough evidence against
her to enable him TO obtain a divorce. Mr.
Crawford refused to have anything to do
with the matter; but subsequently wrote a
letter to Mrs. Seeley, informing her of the
proposition which Seeley had made, and ex-
pressing general regard for her welfare.
Seeley happened TO be in Forbestown when
the letter arri rived-took it from the office
opened and read it. He then went to Moore
vile, exhibited the letter to several friends
and expressed a determination to kill Craw-
ford for writing letters to his wife, He then
went to Crawford's room and charged him
with receiving letters from his wife, and
threatened to kill him unless he gave them
up. Crawford denied having any such let
ters in his possession, whereupon Seeley
drew a navy revolver and discharged 1.-THE
ball passing close by Cra Words head with
out taking effect. Dr. Olds and others hear
ing the report of the pistol, rushed in and
prevented Seeley from firing again. He was
sentenced on Monday last, to the State Pris-
on for the term of one year.
BRDGE.-We are sorry to learn that q
controversy has arisen between Gen. Moore
and Mr.. Lathrop. regarding the right to build
a bridge across Feather river at this place.
Gen. Moore, we understand, claims the right,
from the fact of owning the land lying on
the opposite side of the river. Mr.. Lathrop
bases his claim upon a charter or grant here
tofore made by the Board of Supervisors.
The matter comes up again before the Board
of Supervisors on Wednesday next. when,
we hope, it will be decided one way or the
other The interests of the town, the farm
ers on the other side of the river and the
travelling public demand the building of q
bridge; but, unless the rights of rival claim
ants can be settled, we fear that it will be
some time before one is built Compromise,
gentlemen, and build the bridge

The LOVE OF THE WoNDERFuL.-Wha
stronger pleasure is there with mankind, or
what do they earlier learn or longer re-
tain, than the love of hearing and relating
things strange and incredible? How won
derful thing is the love of wondering
aud of rising wonder! IT'S the delight Of
children to hear tales to SILVER at, and the
voice of old men to abound in strange sto-
ries of times past. We come into the
world wondering at everything; and when
our wonder about common things is over,
we seek something new to wonderat. Our
last scene Is to tell wonders Of ours to all
who will believe in them. And amidst all
this. It's well if truth comes of but mod
erately tainted.
