According to the New York Herald's Wash
ington correspondence, an intimate friend of
Horatio Seymour, in an interview with Presi-
dent johnson recently, admitted that Seymour
had no idea that he aoould be elected; that he ac-
cepted the nomination after repeated declina-
tons only because he was assured there was
no chance OF his having to assume the harrass-
ing duties OF the White House for four years.
that had he (Seymour) supposed there was a
chance of his election he would have had moth
ing to do with the nomination, in spite of all
entreaties of friends, for the reason that he
considered that the strain upon his health re-
quislte to the duties of President would be IA

THE "BLoATED BoNDHoLDER. In March

have been Invested in government bonds The
vast amounts held by life and fire insurance
companies andsavings banks, are, in fact, held
IN trust for and are the reliance of the great
body of active business and laboring men or
women, or of widows and orphans.
Yet this same doubly Infamous Seymour
now accepts every word of the Democratic
platform that favors a financial policy that
would reduce the value of these bonds to zero.

A few days ago we published a communica-
ton from gentleman whom we know to be
entitled to entire confidence, in relation to the
alleged extraordinary conduct of the young
men of Bates college toward young lady who
is a member of one of the classes in that insti-
tuition. Our correspondent assured us that
he learned the fact in relation to the petition
for Miss Mitchell's removal from one of the Pc
TONERS and member of the faculty. Under
the circumstances we did not regard the Ian
guage of the communication as at all extrava-
giant in its harshness. One of the young lady's
class, however, denies the statements of our
correspondent and replies to him in the fol-
lowing terms:
To the Editor of the Press:
In your issue of Monday, July Goth, under
the caption of Extraordinary Instance OF
Narrowmindedness," you have given to your
readers an article, which, Notwithstanding
your confidence in the statements of your cor
respondent-is extraordinary only for misrep-
reservations.
Your correspondent, after mentioning the
name of Mary W. Mitchell of Dover, Me. as
the "sister student who has been so malig-
nantly prosecuted by these young sprigs of
divinity IN prospectu," says: "This young lady
teach, and work in the factory during her va
cations, but she has also been compelled to
endure the sneers of the five gallant young
gentlemen of her class. four of whom are in
tending to enter the Christian Ministry"
To the first part of the above we have only
to reply. that we believe it to be true, and we
as her classmates, are justly proud of the en-
ergy and perseverance she has displayed in
procuring the means for prosecuting her stud
les.
But the second part of the statement we
knoao to be untrue, and we challenge the lady
in question, or any other person. to point to a
single instance where other than uniform
courtesy and respect has been shown her.
And the third part is trebly untrue, for only
one of the class intends to enter the Christian
Ministry"
The last statement of your correspondent
we deny in toto "
No petition has ever been presented, and no
influence whatever, direct or Indirect, has ever
been exerted upon the faculty. by the class, to
induce them to remove the lady in question.

LINcoLN's THANKS TO SEYMOUR The
Democratic papers make much of the fact
that Mr. Lincoln thanked Gov. Seymour for
his promptness in forwarding troops to Wash
ington at the time of Lees Gettysburg cam.
paign. 1t was graceful courtesy from the
President to a political opponent, but we do
not see that Gov. Seymour derives any partic-
ular credit from his conduct. He did no more
than any Northern Governor must have done
mo more than bis official duty imperatively
demanded. The honor, such as it was, belongs
to the soldiers who volunteered, not to the off
cial who gave the word "March." A Govern
or who had refused in those days to do his
sharein the defense of the capital of the ma
ton would have Jared i'll at the hands of the
people for all time thereafter Why, Govern
or Seymour could not have stopped the SOL
dIers from going to Washington if he had tried.
The point against him is, however, that he OPP
posed the war, that he discouraged recruiting,
and that while that very campaign of Gettys-
Durg was at its elimination he was denounc-
ing the Government here in New York, and
stirring up the rebel mob to open that sire in
the rear" which our city remembers with 50

The EFFECT OF THE ELECTION ON THE
SoUTH.-The Bangor Wing publishes letter
addressed to y. H. Nickerson, Esq, of Orring-
ton, by General E. Kinks now military
commandment in Eastern North Carolina. He
says that it is question saoJtether there are
more freedmen IN North Carolina aoho cannot
read and oorite than there of aohites pho Ia
Dor aedsr the same peeulaarity" He also states
that it is shown by official data tin at in several
counties which gave majorites against the
Constitution in the recent election nearly one
half of the whites who registered were unable
to sign their names; and it is believed that the
q freedman votes more intelllgently than the
poor white whose prejudices are more potent
than his intellectual reasoning faculties.-
While, therefore, under other circumstances
impartial suffrage based upon the intelligence
ofth voter, commends itself to the Judgment,
1T cannot at present be adopted in these States
without denial of democratic privileges to
whites as well as blacks. ..t
He concludes as follows:
The reconstruction measures of Congress
have proved, at least temporarily successful
in most of the States and the election of
Grant, with continued enforcement of the
protection to the people which the Federal
eSiSi@oioh ploNhueS IeIupefeu WIN as much OF
clemency towards the vanquished rulers of
the South as the safety of the Republic will
admit, will permanently establish the demo-
cratic idea of universal suffrage and equal
rights, as practical fact. Then the burthens
of taxation may be lessened by the abolition of
the Freedmen's Bureau and a reduction of the
army, and also by proper corrective legislation
in civil affairs; and with the restoration of the
national prosperity, the asperities of the con-
fiict will be softened and national harmony
strengthened. -aJ 91! vnvr W-t f
On the contrary the defeat of Grant (if such
disaster were possible) and the elevation to
power of party hostile to the principles which
have sustained the nation through the con-
duet of the war, and in its efforts to secure a
permanent peace, would be a calamity greater
than any which has yet befallen the Republic;
1T would be a base surrender to the enemies OF
the nation at thevery moment when struggle
OF seven years duration was about to culmi-
nate In complete victory and perfect peace
and would result in renewal of difficulties
ald contentious of which no human tongue
could foretell the end. "Let us have peace"
