TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION IN New YoRK.-
Maine and Massachusetts, can by no means
claim monopoly of temperance agitation
The restrictions imposed upon liquor selling
by the New York excise law are not severe;
yet it causes the dealers as much anguish to
suspend business for one day in the week, as it
does New England operators to discontinue
altogether. "Burleigh" of the Boston Journal
writes as follows in relation to the repeal of the
law by the New York legislature: ''-
1t is uncertain what the legislature will do
about the present excise law. That an effort
will be made 10 repeal it there can be no doubt
That the Governor will veto any such attempt
is equally certain. Nor can two-thirds vote
be relied upon to carry the repeal over the
Goveronr's veto. The Republicans hurt them
selves greatly at their convention in passing a
resolution asking for repeal of the present
license law OF the State. They did it to catch
the German vote Of the city. They gained
nothing by it. The Germans went in q body
with the Democrats, and the resolution divided
the temperance men in the country. 1t is now
said that there are enough of the Republicans
to make a two-thirds vote for the repeal of the
law should Governor Fenton forbid the repeal

The Now York Freeman's Journal, a rebel
sheet in war and in peace, has the following
leader, which contains food for reflection for
weakened Republicans:
The action, on the same day, of the Demo.
cratic State Conventions of Ohio, Indiana.
"West Virginia" and Nebraska-each naming,
with enthusiasm, Geo. Fl. Pendleton for Pres-
dent, is significant and potent, This is, partic-
ulariy, true of Indiana. A few months ago
Horatio Seymour was the favorite among the
Democratic leaders in that State. At that time
inquiries were made OF us from that quarter, in
regard to the position Of ex- Governor Seymour
on the question of paving off the 20's in
greenoacks. The public position taken by Mr..
Seymour at our late State Convention, indicat-
ed how he wished to be understood, He auoid-
ed committing himself.
There is no doubt that the announcement by
Mr. Seymour that he was not candidate for
the Presidency, understood as it has been. as
irrevocable on Mr.. Seymour's part. and ba, ed
ON reasons not to be done away with, has caused
great many friends OF Mr.. Seymour to throw
themselves into the movement for Mr.. Pendle-
ton. But the great cause of the popularity OF
Mr. Psndleton, besides his high character, has
been that he stands as the exponent of the
justice and the necessity of paying off the 500
bonds in the currency in which they were
contracted, and in which it was promised to
pay them. Mr.. Pendleton, with his very high
reputation as man OF untarnished personal
substantial wealth to be affected BY the pros
perity or by the misery of the country, has
thrown himself forward as the exponent Of this
most just and equitable plan of paying an OBJ
| jectionable debt.
As Governor Seymour has peremptorily re-
fused the use of his name as a candidate for
the Presidency, there can be indelicaey In his
friends making their arrangements for pre-
venting any Objectionable man such as the
bondholders will be urging-for that office.
Mr.. Pendleton, having so large an influence
deyoted'y declared for him, and being so desir-
able candidate, in the regard of all who are
Democrats on principle, is the right man for
all to rally on. We have some reason to be-
lieve that he is now stronger in Pennsylvania
than any other candidate. Nothing more seems
to be needed than to give expression to the
strong and growing sentiment in his favor, and
to organize SO as to give effect to this, at the
proper time. Mr.. Pendleton can ante the
earnest good will of the Democratic party, and
carry more States, in the canvass, than any
other man. We consider it piece of rare
good fortune that, for once, popularity and in
corruptible principle go hand in hand.

millionaire of that name. and brother of

feeble to an extent that disqualified him for
engaging in either business or pleasure. 1t is
stated that his father caused every effort that
wealth could procure to be made for his recov-
cry, but without success. He then built on
Fourteenth street in New York mansion for
his special use,proyiding for careful attendance
upon him. Around the honse was high
