The two most prominent Democratic
favorites for the next Presidency arc
Horatio Seymour, Of New York, and
George II. Pendleton, of Ohio. They
are both distinguished as men of ability
and experience in political affairs, and
each is popular among the Democratic
masses as faithful exponent Of Demo
cratic principles Seymour, in 1862, on
his platform of "a more vigorous prose-
cution of the war;" carried the State Of
New York by ten thousand majority,
against Republican general, engaged
at the time in the war but was defeated
in 1864 on the peace platform of the Chi
cago Peace Convention, which also car
ried down Mr.. Pendleton, the associate
of General Mcclellan on the Democratic
Presidential ticket. The war record of
Seymour, however, is much better than
that Of Pendleton, who can boast with
Valandigham only that he never voted
a man or dollar for war which he
believed to be unconstitutional.
But the war is now among the things
of the past, and the great living ques.
tons of taxation and the payment of the
national debt are coming into the fore
ground. Upon the important question
of the national debt Seymour and Pen
dleton stand as widely separated as
Greeley and Ben. Butler. Seymour, like
Greeley, holds to the redemption Of the
national debt in coin; PendletoR, like
Butler, goes for paying off the bondhold-
ers in greenbacks. Seymour represents
the Belmonts and other democratic bond
holders of the East; Pendleton repre-
sents the Democratic masses, if not the
masses of both parties, in the West.
"Down with the system which gives gold
to the bondholders and paper to the
workingmnn," is a war cry which will
probably be as effective, if tried, as was
the cry in 1910 against Martin Van
Buren's sub-Treasury system, of Down
with this system which gives gold to the
officeholders and bank rags to the peo-
pie"
Al all events, in choosing between
Seymour and Pendleton as their Presi-
dental candidate nextspring or summer,
the Democracy will have to choose
between the plan of paying off the
national bondholders in gold and the
plan of paying them off in greenbacks.
This is the issue between Seymour and
Pendleton, and from the drift of the late
election in Ohio, Pendleton has the
inside track for the Democratic nomina.

1@~ Says q Louisville Courier dis
patch: "Senator Trumbull thinks the
question involved in Stanton's restora-
ton in the War Department a much
more complicated difficulty than gener-
ally apprehended, and says should the
Senate decide that the civil office tenure
bill deprives the Executive of the consti-
tutional power TO remove member of
the Cabinet, it does not follow that he
could not remove Stanton. The law that
a Cabinet officer shall not be removed
during the term of the President
by whom appointed, is the ques-
ton to first be settled - when
did Mr.. Lincoln's term expire? The
Presidential term is not necessarily
four years, for should johnson die,
new election ordered and new term
commence, being thus settled the Pres
idential term not necessarily four years,
it may be decided that the term closes
with the death and new term com
mences with the successor Mr.. Trumbull
thinks several knotty questions will have
to be settled before Stanton secures
restoration"
