ScylnOus.'s speech.


The DEBORAH Republican Of last
week quotes from the Cooper 1nsti-
tute speech Of Gov SEYMOUR and
alleges that he makes a ''hard hit
at the PESDlEroS theory and I'LL
schemes that in any manner impair
the national faith, or dsprcciate the
national credit -
We presume the Republican will
concedc that PExDLEroN's name had
been spoken Of" in connection
with thc4 democratic nomination
prior to the delivery of the Cooper
Institute speech, quite us prominent
y, as that Of any other individual.
That Gov SEYMOUR did not refer to
PESDLEros in the extract published
by our ncighbor is shown where near
the close cfthat speech the following
language Is Used: t#8

been named who is not in favor Of using the
money drawn from the taxpayers to pay
the public debt. No man has been named
who is not in favor Of general amnesty

stitutional lights. No man has been nam

would not help the tn pay er the pensioner,
the laborer and the bond-holder. On the
other hand, the candidates Of the Republic
can party are pledged to their past policy,
which has sunk the value of our currency
more than eight par cent in the past TIVE
years. Thediscount upon our paper money
was twenty per cent in April, 1866; it is
now about twenty-ninc per cent. It will
continue to 50 down under the same policy.
As it sinks it will increase taxes, 1t will
cusoe I'LL labor and>busincss, it will en-
danger still more the public credit, for the
greater the premium on gold, the harder it
becomes to pay specie to the bondholder,
and his claims become more .ious.'
If this paragraph in SEYMoUR's
speech did not escape the attention
ofthc Republican, its construction
is downright knavery, for here was a
refutation of that construction. If
it did escape its attention it can pre-
serve its reputation for candor by
permitting this viadioation. Of those

thoughtful men Of all parties, as
was that Of the Convention whirh as
sc,nblcd in the city Of New York
on the 4th Of July 1868. The men
assembled in. 1916, charged with
the grave responsibility Of asserting
the causes that impclled them to res

people to full and complete rcstora-

declaration to George the Sd may

The platform ofprinciplcs adopted
is in strict keeping with the de-
mands made ly the tax burdencd
people Of the west, through their
public presses and speakers during
the past two years. It demands
equal taxation for every species Of
property including government
bonds and all other public securities.
This principle is right and must
prevail. Even Congress has rccog-
ni1ed its truth in voting to tax the
interest on t..csc bonds. 1t is re-
cognizing principle that the pco.

adequate. That the party in power

The Louisiana Vote.

New ORLEANS, November 26.-The re-
turns telegraphed some days since as off,
cial were those transmitted to the Secretary
of State. Yesterday the Governor, Secre-
tary of State, and the Judge of the second
district, examined the returns, and declared
the result of the election. They throw out
the entire vote of the parishes of West Fe-
liciana, Franklin, Jackson, Jefferson, Or
leans, St. Bernard, st. John the Baptist,
St. John, Terrebone, and Washington, for
informally, and declare that no legal re-
turns were received from these parishes,
making the entire vote for Grant as returned
by them 27,911; Seymour, 1858. Not
withstanding the rejection of these parishes,
Democratic Congressman are declared elect
ed from all but the second district. La
fourche, st. Charles, and st. James, are
counted, giving certificates to Sheldon for
the full and Menard (negro) for Manus's
unexpired term. Hunts majority in the
district for both terms is nearly 10000.
In the first district st. Martins ma
iority over Scupper is reduced by this re-
lection from 9,400 to 653.
The Republicans this evening say there
is some ambiguity in the law as to who the
returning officers for the parish of Orleans
are. The report of the proceedings of the
Governors Committee show some diversity
of opinion as to the construction of the law.

WASHINGTON, November 26.-The i'm
preston increases that General Grant will
be subjected to all the restrictions by Con-
eress which have cramped the administra-
ton Of Andrew Johnson.
The seating Of the Louisiana congress-
men chosen at the last election is highly
improbable. The opposition to their admis-
sion is strengthened by unofficial state
ments to the effect that General Rousseau
concurred with the Radical leaders in the
opinion that the negroes could not safely
vote.

mercial. We give an extract:

POSTAL CONVENTION WITH GREAT BRI-
TAIS.-The new postal convention between
the Postoffice Department of the United
States and Great Britain was received on
Tuesday morning by Postmaster General
Randall, who approved it, and then took it
to the President for his signature. Being
thus signed, this convention will supersede
the one now in force, and 60 into effect on
the lst of January next. 1t is not mate
rally different in its general provisions
from the one now existing. Great Britain,
however, has abolished the double, and
will after that time charge only single
rate, while the United States will reduce
the rates on newspapers, small pamphlets,
and periodicals. All hostages will be di-
vided between the two countries as at pre-
sent.-National Intelligencer.

The Florida Middle Answer OF
Iieufenanf.GOvern Gleason.


TALLAHASSEE, FLA, November 26.-The
Supreme Court met to-day and adjourned,
as it was Thanksgiving day.
Lieutenant Governor Gleason's answer to
the rule of nisi says he ought not to be
made to show by what authority he holds
the office of Lieutenant: Governor on several
grounds. He questions the jurisdiction of
the court, and says that A. R. Meek, the At
torney- General, was appointed by Governor
Reed after his impeachment; that il the
court has Jurisdiction, yet public policy and
interest require that it should refuse to issue
the writ of quo parranto; that Governor
Reed sues out the writ from malicious mo-
tives and to crafty revenge against said
Gleason that Reed knew when Gleason
was elected how long he had been citizen
of the State; because the Constitution
gives the Assembly the right to impeach the
Lieutenant Governor, and empowers the
Senate to try him and remove him, and
that these bodies will soon be in session,
and can exercise that power if necessary
For these reasons he asks that proceedings
in the case be quashed. Nothing in the
answer claims competency to qualify for the
Office Gleason now holds.

SAD CASE OF DRowNING.-Port Deposit,
Nd, November %, 1968.-A sad case Of
drowning occurred here yesterday, wherein
TAYLOR Mcdowell, an only son of widowed
mother, and two colored men named Hop
kins, brothers, were lost. 1t appears that a
party of six men were employed in rolling
logs off the islands and rocks, that they
might drift down to the boom. In passing
the piers Of the old bridge their skitf took
in great quantity of water. Those who
were drowned, being able to swim, jumped
out, and becoming chilled, were not able to
make the shore, while the others chung to
the skiff and drifted ashore.-Baltimore

over, and results in the abolition Of the

administration by the Mikado. The young
Mikado has now reached his majority, and
has been crowned Emperor. The Tycoon
has notified the representatives of the
Foreign Powers Of his submission to the
Mikado, who was on the point of leaving
Kioto for Yeddo. The war against the most
powerful of the Northern Daimios, Aidzu,
is still progressing, but the young Mikado
