-Horatio Seymour is of the delicate
organ sun that his whole life has been one
of painful anxiety. Mental disorganiza-
ton is hereditary in his family, and to
escape it has been the grand object of all
his plans. The people have had in j ohn
Tyler and Andrew johnson strong in
stances of the care that should be taken
in the selection of Vice President who
may succeed to the Presidency. The
health of Seymour renders the accession
of Blair, should The Democrats succeed in
the election, of strong probability; and
who is there in the United States. of anv
party, Republican or Democrat, Unionist
or Rebel white man or black man who
imagines Frank Blair as President of the
United States without horror? To vote
for Seymour without voting for Blair is
not possible, and to vote for Seymour and
Blair, is, under the circumstances, vote
to elect Frank Blair President. DO 8
In case of the death or the incapacity
of Mr. Seymour, if elected, the office Of
President would devolve upon Blair, than
which no greater calamity can befall the
country Let those. who think of voting
for Seymour think also of the dread pos
sibility which has haunted him during
his life, and then remember that in the
event of Seymour's disability or death
Blair will succeed him 1t is only nec
essary to mention the probability 20 make
reasonable men anxious TO avoid it

Elk President Buchanan left an estate

Elk President Buchanan left an estate
worth $3.50, 582. Much of his property
was in state, railroad and city bonds, but
net dollar in national securities. For
nearly half a century he filed Offices of
honor and profit under the Government,
and his political service accumulated his
fortune, yet when the nation was in peril,
when every patriot who could not take up
arms, but who had riches was called upon
to contribute of his abundance, Elk. Pres
ident Buchanan refused to buy single
bond. =Il 1858 70 a.'.H .

r THIRTY THOUSAND DEAD FISH IN A
CANA1.-~The following curious sight is
recorded by the Harrisburg State Guard
of Monday :,
IS. Yesterday a curious and unusual 81 ght
was witnessed in the Susquehanna canal.
From early morn until nightfall, dead fish,
turtles, frogs, and cells were floating down
and the water changed to beautiful green,
and became so clear that the bottom could
be seen without difficulty, It has been
estimated that twenty or Il irty thousand
fish must have foated down Turing the
day. The real cause of this wholesale
slaughter is yet unknown. Some assert
that it was caused by the sinking of a
canal boat loaded with lime; others that
sulpher spring above Clark's Ferry suds
denly burst yesterday morning and others
again that they were effected by coal oil
refuse from refinery near Rockville"

The Alta Californian, after careful
review Of the previous elections IN that
state, comes tolthe conclusion that there is
a reliable majority Of at least fifteen thou
sand for Grart and Colfax It shows that
the largest vote ever polled for any Demo
cratic candidate-that given for Haight in
1s67-was 1905; and that his vote on
that occasion was increased several thou
sand by his personal popularit y and his
record as a Republican, and the unpops
ularity of his opponent. AT the same
election the candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor on the same ticket received only
$4,000. On the other hand the Republican
vote in 1863 was "a. AS and in 1864

4 SINGULAR WILL.-Gov. Helm, oi
Kentucky, one of the oldest and most
highly esteemed public men of the State,
died not long since, leaving will, in
which was found the following, after
proper disposition had been made there
in of his large estate. As part of his
will he says:
The South was conquered, but in my
firm conviction the North will sooner or
later learn that they are the whipped
party The race of intellectual giants
has passed off the stage. The moral
tone of the people is gone /; corruption
and vice rule the hour and the day.
The mass OF the whole people have lost
confidence in the rulers and the govern
iuent they place no reliance on its JUS
tice and honor This is a melancholy
picture. But my mind is made up, that
the future of this government will have
n downward tendency, and ultimately,
and at no very distant day, will result in
disintegration or central despotism
This IS an unseemly place to introduce
my political opinions. i do it to solemn
ly impress my family with my opinions,
in the firm hope that they will stand by
the form of government as it came from
the hands of our Revolutionary fathers,
and oppose modern reform

THE Congressional Globe of the Thir

THE Congressional Globe of the Thir-
ty-seventh Congress contains two speech
es. one made in March and the other in
April, by different gentlemen, which are
duplicates, the Bohemian who undertook
to supply them having sold the same
speech to both purchasers. This is but
a repetition, however, of what had hap
pened in Philadelphia in 1898, when a
ready writer furnished one of the ''letters
10 constituents, in which Congressman
then aired their eloquenee, to Hon.
Di,ffslfTct. ss6niiieh5w tlre tho letters were
compared, and although each gentleman
endeavored to show that the other stole
the letts from him, their constituents
refused to re-elect either.
