urging the construction of q railroad from ST.
Louis to Texas, says that between the Neuces and
the Rio OTande rivers there are million head of
cattle, and one hundred thousand head of horses

would take a railroad fifty years to carry ali the

NEW YORK. June 25.-Gov. Seymour delivered
a speech 10 night at the Cooper Institute to a
crowded audience. A large portion of his speech
wss devoted TO the financial question, on which
he repeated and enforced his former well-known

elaring contraction impracticsble, aud urging the
maintenance of national faith and reduction of
expenses TO bring the bonds up to their par value.
This, he thinks, can be done only by the triumph
Of the Democratic party. He opposed negro suf-
frsge as likely TO increase our difficulties, placing
as II did, political powers ia the hands of untu
tored classes, and giving three millions of blacks
more senators than fifteen millions of whites. he
