Seymour 10 be President.

The New York Round Table is lite.
rary and professedly neutral paper. But,
as is the fashion of such papers, it has
always shown leaning to the popular
side. 1t has leaned to the Republicans,
and, sometimes, plainly advocated their
cause. But. to remain popular, it must
20 with the tide. Iii is now on the ebb,
and speaks candidly. We extract as
follows:
If signs are to be trusted which are
fast spreading exultation through the
ranks of one political party and doubts
and dismay through those of the other,
the chances that Horstio Seymour will
be the next President of the Usited
States are steadily on the increase. Un-
forseen circumstances may undoubtedly
defect or restrain the current of popular
feeling, but its present direction is un-
mistskable. Eight State elections will
DO held, however, between this time and
that Of the great event in November, and
from their results that of the Presidential
contest will probably become quite evi-
dent OF course, should the struggle be
very close in Pennsylvania and Ohio the
prognostication may be less trustworthy.
But there are several States which a
short time since were assigned to Grant
and Colfax, which even Republicans now
concede to be doubtful; and should this
process of mutation continue, not even
the vote of the Keystone or the Buckeye
State would alone necessarily be decisive
in the Republican behalf. Thus should
its opponents lnse Ohio and gain Penn
sylvanis, or rice versa, from calculations
generally accepted at this time, the
Seymour ticket will carry the day. Sup
pose, for example, the following-which
now appears sufficiently plausible-to
show the FINAL result:

FoRyEY charges that the mission Of
General Rosecrans to White Sulphur

Forney is smarting under the exposure
which Rosecrans has made Of him.

that Seymour is a man worth concili-

MILES O'RE1LLY, Of the New YORK Cut
ION otherwise called General HALP1NE,
mode a visit to the South not many months
since, and saw and conversed with num-
bers of our people. He has somehow or
other arrived at the sage conclusion that
we are !" q simple people, who believe what
ever is told % US, I" if it harmonizes with

of the boy O'RErLLY to the consideration

PETERSBURG, July ~ 1000.
When in my last congratulated the city
on brief respite from the rogues, was
not aware of the series of thefts which had
been perpetrated the night before on the
premises of sundry citizens. They were
not made public till late in the day, that
the police might have better opportunity
to prosecute their searches. No discovery
has vet been made except in the case of the
robbery of the Second Presbyterian church,
tie stolen articles from which have been
recovered, and the culprit found to be q
half-witted white man. One citizen lost a
gold watch and a hundred dollars, another
several articles Of silver plate, &c.
A splendid flag was raised thus morning
at the Inder Office in the presence OF o large

1t has been several weeks since we paid
our respects to the lunatics who tsrun y tie
Church Union. They are either great
knaves or great fools; and we confess we
are not able to decide which. They profess
to oppose the Democratic party as matter
of religion or conscience. They claim that
the Church Union has-and we suppose it
has-the largest circulation of any religious
paper in the country. Yet they dabble in
politics all the time, never emitting an OPP
portunity of giving the old Democratic
party stab in the side. They admit that
SEYMOUR is a Christian man, and attends
great many religious assemblages," and
that GRANT is anything but Christian :;
but they balance GRANTS radicalism
against SEYMoUR's religion, and decide that
it were more pious act to vote for GRANT
than SEYMOUR. At the same, time they do
not conceal their belief that it would have
been much better for the country if the
Radicals had nominated FRED DOUGLASS,
or ut least some out-and-out negrophilist
and woman 's-rights candidate. 1t speaks
Of GRANT in this wise:
"As to the remaining question: What
"of the Republican candidate, General
"GRANT? All is lost or oil is won, just as
he may prove true. Perhaps our only
hope here is in making it so hot, as by
coal upon turtles back, that he will
"move right. At any rate, it is safe to
make it hot. Keep thrusting the woman
question, the negro-suffrage question, the
Christian-party question, and all other
"questions that involve right, before him.
Give him no rest. Mayhaps if we can
keep him sober, and clear the smoke SO
that he can see what is the matter with
the nation; /. c., that no reconstruction
that does not put the black man into
"power equal with our own is worth fig,
we may with the rest shout, Hurrab for
"GRANTr"
This Church Union has circulation not
much less perhaps than that Of the La
Crosse Democrat, and is not one whit less OF
an Arab than the Democrat. The one is
the opposite of the other; and we. know OF
no good reason why Brick might not pub
lish Democratic religious paper with as
much propriety as the crazy Union men
publish a Radical religious paper. Why do
the northern people sustain such papers as.
these Evidently they are kept up by
partisans--the one by the Democrats, the
other by the Radicals. BRIcK's paper
would not live six months if there were no
such nominally religious papers as the
Church Union and no political parsons and
IA natical school-marms. The Democrats
had become tired Of being traduced when
BRICK started his paper and as he paid of
he Radicals in their own coin, sparing
,either preachers nor scho0l-marms-ths
