The New York correspondent OF the
philadelphia Leayer says :--'.fhe most
Interesting political rumor cfsthe day Is
that Mr. Seward, who passed through the
city yesterday, on his way to Auburn,
gavelhis friends to understand that be
was about to break ground in fayoro!
Gen. Grant. a brief editorial in one OF
the Republican morning papers has a hint
to the same effect but the Secretary, in
conversation Oh the subject, Ian, assured,
was much more outspoken than the hint
would seem to imply. The Democratic
politicians were not little perplexed by
this movement. They say they cannot
understand how the Secretary can take
such position, and yet occupy place
in the Cabinet of President Johnson
But in answer to this, the more knowing
ones on the other side intimate that, il
they will have patience awhile longer
President Johnson himself will be follow
ing the example of his Secretary of State
That is how bothsides are talking Time
must tell which is nearer the truth.Ygrs

The President is reforming. He for
merly violated the law first, and called on
his Attorney General for his opinion af
terward Now he asks Mr. Eyarts to in
form him whether he can lawfully appoint
a successor to Commissioner Rollins, and
whether he can regard Congress an hav
ing adjourned instead of taking a recess
and whether, consequently, he can make
appointments tothe Russian, Venezuelan,
aud Ecuador missions; and not only so
but he purposes to wait until Dir. Evarts
gives his opinion. tits not even certain
that he will not be guided by it when
given. We may thank the Democratic
Convention for having sat so early.

The Western papers announce the ap
pearance of most singular and fatal
disease among the cows in that part of the
country. It's believed that the disease
has been introduced by cattle from Texas.
II is ascertaiucd that upon all the cows
that have died there are immense mum
bcrs Of ticks and lice, such as are always
to be found on the Texas cattle. The
cows generally die Oh the third day after
they are .attacked No remedy has yet
been found for the disease. In the vici-
nifty of New Albany, indiana, over one
hundred COWS have already died. {.

sa5- We had designed this week, taking a
lengthy view of the Real Estate business ln
Monroe County for the last eighteen months,
and of the improvements which had grown out
of that business, through the ncentive given it
bv the efficient agency established, in this Bor-
onch and now conducted BY Mr. GEeReE<b u.
WALKER. BY means of this agency our coun-
tv has been literally opened up to the view Of
capitalists abroad, and as a consequence farms
town lots, and water powers in great numbers
have found ready purchasers at good piices, and
the demand instead of diminishing Is rapidly
increasing. BY Mr.. Walkers fair and squar'
manner of doing business, in so far as we car
learn, in every instance, both seller and pur
chaser has been made perfectly satisfied Will
his bargain. We will touch the matter mor'
at length in future number of our paper.
