The Presidential Election.

The unanimity with which the Nomi-
nations of Seymour AMI Blair were cou-
lirmed by the New Yo.k Convention, and
the enthusiasm with which ihey have been
received by the Democratic masses, afl.,rl
the best anguties OF success. Lists have
been maje Of their probable strength in
the several States, and with tho following
encouraging estimate: Connecticut c.
New York 33-New Jersey 7-Pennsvl-
vania oG-Ohio 2l-Indiana l3-Wis-
consin G-Nebraska 3-CAIiornia s.
Oregon 3-Ncvada Missouri 1l-Ken-.

making lo9 votes which would he the
requisite majority. Add 10 tLcse The eight
votes o: Missouri, and wo have O total Of
ono Hundred and sixIy-seven votes without
the aid OF a sing'c State from The Sou.h.
Can these States be obtained for Scy-
mour and blair? Connecticut in the last
election gave majority of about one thou
sand for Governor English, and the ms
jori'y will likely bc largely incrcased.-
New York last year gave a Democratic
| majority Of nearly fifty thousand, and she
will likely double her votes at the coming
e'eclion-wih Seymour for President, and
Hoffman Tor Governor, the Democrats will
be aOle 10 bring ont their full strength.
New Jersey at the last election gave Il
Democratic majority Of over sixteen thou.
sand. Pennsylvania gave last year ma
Jority Of near one thousand Tor Judge
S'arswood, which it is supposed will be
increased teuf"ld. Iu Ohio negro suffrage
was defeated at the last election 5y ina.
jority OF fifty thousand, and though Thur
man the Democratic Candidate lost the
GOveruorsbip, his party carried both bran.
chesiof tho Legislature. The once divided
Democracy is now working there uni:ediy
and harnoniously. In Indiana o grea,
re action has been going on since 1866,
aud delegates 10 the, New York Conven.
tion pledged confidently their State for
Seymour and Blair. Or the remaining
States; Missouri aud Wisconsin are. alone
doubtful, but the Indications are very
strong that they will DO secured to tue
Democracy. ... .,,,
Tie indications of Democratic tri-
ua'ph in November aud certainly encour-
-agipg. The evils Of Radical misrule, are
SO patent, aud go widespread that the peo-
pie have become Tired of their rulers, and
demand change As General Hampton
announces, it is believed the Democrats
| can even carry nearly all, il, not all of the
Southern. States. >. - ~

She was very beautiful, not only
to my own ewes, but to those of
every one who gazed upon her; but I
did not love her for her beauty only,
it was her heart and soul which won
me. Heaven knows that If every
charm had vanished from her face
and form, she would still have been
as precious to me. Before she came
to dwell among US, had known that
she was betrothed to another, and
she was too pure and frank to make
q secret Of the fact. She spoke of
Edward Waring ian officer in the
navy, and who was at that time
absent on three years cruise,) with
the simple confidence of child, and
would run joyously to tell us of the
receipt of a letter from her absent
lover; and yet, despite this know
ledge, despite the fact that she re-
garded me almost as o brother, the
love L felt for her grew, against my
will, to be the master passion of my
soul. I never breathed one word of
its intensity to living mortal; and
she little knew, as she leant in sister
ly confidence upon my arm, that I
was praying all the while for strength
to hide my. y.love from her sweet, truth
full eyes.
Time passed on, and the hour of
Edward Warnings return drew nigh.
I heard from my sister that the day
for the wedding was already fixed
upon-soon visions of white satin
and orange flowers were often re-
vealed to me through an accidental
ly opened window, and knew that
beneath busy fingers and flying
needles, Stella's bridal dress was
growing to perfection. Yet now,
for the first time since had known
her, Stella was sad and abstracted;
for hours she would sit alone watch
ing the sky; or looking into the far
distance, with something like fear
upon her face. None seemed to see
the alteration save myself; but
lovers eyes are far-seeing, and had
watched her face so long and 80 fond
ly. Going to her one day, as she
fingered upon the piazza, I spoke of
this sadness, and asked her, as a
brother might, its cause.
mark, you will laugh at me if I
tell you," she replied. "It is very
foolish, and am ashamed to speak
of it. II have had terrible dream,
cousin, and I cannot shake off its
influence"
CONCLUDED IN OUR NEXT.
