The National Intelligencer fires into the
81 National Democratic Executive Committee, !"
and its Chairman, Mr.. Belmont, for want of
,exertion during the canvass, and, says the
Committee and its Chairman have wax ed up
too late, aud even now seem most intent upon
securing the Democratic triumph in New York.
We know nothing about these things; but
we should think this is the worst possible time
todiscuss such matters. It is but justice to
add, however, Notwithstanding the Intelligent
cars approval of a change Of candidates. it
continues earnest and steadfast in opposing
Radicaism, and in urging Democrats and
Conservatives to press forward in their noble
efforts to effect, i! possible, a Conservative
victory. z

A ScuooI REFORM IN GERMANY.-A new
and not unimportant reform is about to be in
troduced in German schoos--viZ., the aboli-
ton of all afternoon classes. It was principal
~ during the past summer moaths that the cx-
pertinent was almost forced uTson the authori-
ties. The result arc on all sides reported to
have been more than brilliant. The forenoon
classes are somewhat, but not much, longer
than formerly, but it is said that the pupils
show an cagerness and vigor in those short
morning hours which have never been known
BEFORE and their progress is quite IN keeping
with their keen and energetic assidulty. The
most curious point about the matter, says the
Pail Mall Gazette, seems to be the fuiIy-au.
thenticated fact that the schools having hith-
erto only closed expcrimentally earlier or later
according to the wishes OF the respective head
masters the progress shown by the various
schools stands in an inverse ratio to the duration
of the classes-or in other words, the less
hours beyond the four or five Of the morning
in school, the more did the boys get on with
their work

West VIRGINIA RETURNS. Wheeling (W.
Ka.,) Oct 23.-Complete returns from Han.
cock and Ohio counties show that the Radical
gains are over the vote of 1866. The Demo
cratic majority in Ohio county has been re-
duced to 100. Brook county is very close
The Democrats will probably have a small ma
jority in Wood and Harrison counties. Jeffer-
son, Mineral and Marion counties show large
Democratic gains. Marshall county is claimed
by the Radicals by roo majority.
7 Partial returns from Mason county show
small Radical gains. The secretary of the Rad
ical State Central Committee claims the State
by reduced majority, and the election OF Gen.
Duyal to Congress in the First District be-
yond doubt. The Democrats expect large
gains from the southwestern counties, which
have not been heard from yet. The chairman
of the Democratic State Central Committee
claims the State by small majority. It will
be several days before sufficient returns are re-
ceiyed to indicate the result.

WASHINGTON, October %, 1868.
Hon.. rHoratio Seymour:
Is [ see it announced in the papers this morn
ing thatyou will enter the Presidential canvass
ia person. [ trust this may be So, as the pre-
sent position Of public affairs justifes and de-
mands it. 1t is hoped and believed by, your
friends that all enemies to constitutional gov
ernment, whether secret or avowed, will not be
spared, and that their arbitrary and unjust uSur-
pations, together with their wasteful, prohigate,
and corrupt use of the peoples treasure, will
be signslly exposed and rebuked. The masses
Of the people should be aroused and warned
against the encroachments of despotic power,
bow ready to enter the citadel of liberty.
I trust that you may speak with an inspired
tongue, and that your voice may penetrate
every just and patriotic breast throughout the
land Let the living principles of the violated
Constitution be proclaimed and restored, that
peace, prosperity, and fraternal feeling may
return to our divided and oppressed nation.
