Extract from the letter of Delegate
to the late Constitutional Convention of
Mississippi dated July Is:
"The Constitution has been defeated
by about 5000 votes-defeated by the
most audacious rascalit les ever perpe-
trated in an election on this continent.
Had every man been permitted to have
gone up and voted his sentiments with
out fear, the Consultation would hon
estly believe, have been ratified by 30,-
600 majority, Prejudiceg and wicked
passions have got such complete con-
troll of this people that the life of a
Union man is in constant danger. Not
only so, but such are being WicF e,fly
mobbed and murdered in different
quarters of the State. Only day or
two since, B. II. Orr, Delegate from
Harrison County, was foully murdered
by political adversary. For my own
part, have been notified time and
again to change my quarters, else
I would be missing. Such is the state
of affairs that, unless there is a strong
probability Of change for the better
soon, I must leave"

The Damoorats Of the last Legisla-
ture were hard on a good many leading
men in their own party. They passed
q law declaring that no man should
vote in the State who had the least
particle of black blood coursing
through his veins Fortunately the
Supreme Court came to the relief of
their visible =admixture Democrats,
and declared the law unconstitutional
IF the k.w had not been declared un-
constitutional, it would have been the
means of disfranchising the present
Democratic Treasurer Of one of the
GtreET Democratic counties in Ohio,
whose fathers vote was denied in that
county on account of visible admix-
ture, prior to the old decision of a
Democratic Supreme Court, that a
man having prepondeTanee of white
blood was entitled 80 vote. 4la sssI
The present Democratic Represents
tive from that county in the Ohio Leg
islature would also be disfranchised
under the law for which he voted. An

Williams district would also be dis
franchised.-Kenton Repubgi =.

Before Seymour was nominated for
President he made speech st COOPER
TnsEitate, New York, IN which he took
especial pains to charge that the ex-
penses of the war and naval establish
ments had been ruinOusly extravagant.
His statement was that:
Since July I, 1855, about three
months after the surrender Of Lee. up
to July 1. 1868, the cost Of Govern
ment viii be, by official reports aid
estimates, $50 390, ,208. "
In a recent debate in the House OF
Representatives Hon. James e..
Blaine Of the Augusta District, in
Maine, explained the matter, and
showed that Mr.. Seymour's charge Of
prodigality is not true. He explajnod
that Immediately after General Lees
surrender one million of soldiers and
fifty thousand sailors had 70 b. mus
tered out, and money had to 0e pro-
vided at once for their back pay, their
bounties and their prize money, and
for these objects @625, 900, 900 were ex-
pended as soon as the accounts could
be settled after the final viStery of
Gen. Grant, and all within OEe SllS-
QrSu ana uEGE days.
Mr.. Blaine asked if Gov. Seymour
and his friends objected to this pay
ment Of the honorable debt Of the
Republic to the men who Fisked their
lives TO save the life of the nation.
Mr.. Blaine further stated that accord
ing to Gov. SeymOur's own figures
only $40, ,000, 900 had been expended
in three years for the current and
legitimate expenditure Of both army
and navy, or SIS, 900, 900 per annum
for both branches of the seEvice--a
far less sum per regiment for the army
than was expended for the same ser
vice in Buchanan's administration :
and Buohanan's expenditures we're in
gold, while the present disbursements
have been in paper. The army had
never been so economically admins
tered as under General Grant. Any
one who should attempt TO follow the
inaccuratenStatem aud insinua-
giUuE of Mr.. SeymouF's speech would
have the entire document to review
a Sisyphean labor. The four or Eve
men who put the different parts of it
together for delivery, are men who
prefer making a plausible statement
before true one; and Mr.. Seymour
himself is rather partizan than a
statesman, deDouncer rather than a
patriot. But he ought to BE more
careful of his reputation as a man of
fact and sound judgment.

Hon. 4. d. EIlot-Dear Sir In the
speech of the Hon. B. M. Boyer, of
Pennsylvania; June 80 1885, printed
il The Globe July ID, there are many
statements and inferenc8s calculated
to make false impression respecting
the expenses Of the Freedmen s
Bureau. By confusing estimates with
eefual expenditures, and BY repeating
both costs and estimates, he foots up
amounts nearly four times the true
sum. For instance, he gives Gen.
HOWard's estimate of the probable eX-
penses for the year ending June 30,
1867, as I'll $50, ,450, and says, this
estimate is much under the actual
cost" This estimate was reduced to
SO, ,944, AGO, which amount was appro-
priated By Congress. But the actual
expenditure for all purposes during
the same year was q, $40, ass, 80. A
correct exhibit Of the cash receipts
and expenses is given In your report Of
March 10, 1868. This makes the total
sum expended from the organiza ton
of the Bureau (ineludIng assumed ao-

abandoned lands, sales of crops, taxes,
fines and all miscellaneous sources are
accounted for In this exhibit. All sup
plies furnished By the QuarteFmaster

Bureau and paid for out of the appro-
priation. The supplies furnished pre-
Yious to that date, not paid for, were

would have received the same pay had
they not been detailed for this duty,
which according to Mr.. Boyer's figures
amounted the first year to $54l, 1874
Multiplied by three, this gives 81 ,623,-

The Germdaia, an influential
paper, heretofore Democratic, publish
ed ia GAINESVILLE, Ohio, repudiates
Seymour and Blair. It says the nomi-
nations show q retrogFading in the cid
ways of Democracy that once Destroy
ed the party and nearly ruined the
county; and asks If the nomination
of Blair, who in bis letter to the New
York Convention preached quasi re-
belli0n, and the Installation of the
President as a dictator, be sign that
Democracy will open q way to the
prosperity and freedom of the cOun-
try. It alludes to the fact that Val
landigham was the first to bring the
nomination of Seymour on the carpet;
and that a notorious rebel General
Forrest a Wade Hampton, and more
of the same caliber, frame the plat
form and give the keynote. The
article concludes as follows fSueh
acts rs these certainly are greatly ap-
plauded by rebels, but received with
great indignation on the part of War
Democrats, who, finding themselves
loose from the party enacting them.
The fact Of the matter is, they are
speaking already. CONSERVATION and
anguish are In the Democratic camp.
Nowhere, not even in New York, Is
there true enthusiasm. Gen. Sherman
declares Tor Grant against Seymour
and so, up TO this time, do all hitherto
Conservatives. aaa

The Chicago Journal says: "One
significant fact in connection with the
recent Democratic National Convention
has not yet been mentioned in public,
namely: that every delegate in that
Convention from the Southern Ssates
was Secessionist. Not one of the
entire number had been loyal Union
man during the war. We presume .it Is
also true that there is not 3 man In the
South, white or black, who was loyal
to the Union during the war who will
support Seymour and Blair. At all
events, there is not solitary Southern
Rebel, or Northern sympathizer with
the Rebels, who is not for that ticket"
