BEHIND THE SCENES.

psper-denies that the National Democratic or
New York State Democratic Committee de-
manded change of Dsm oc-atic candidates, or

SECRETARY SEWARD,

The New York Tines, which has generally
been regarded rs the exponent of the views of
Secretary Seward, now calls pretty loudly
upon that distinguished gentleman TO define
his position in the pending political contest.
II says that in view Of bis past career, he can
afford less than any other man in the Country
to remain neutral al such time rs this, aud it
expresses the hope, also, that be will take Or
make some occasion yet before the close Of the
campaign tC declare whether he is IN favor o.
-Grart and CoIfax or seymour and Blair
Whather this Is honest call for in forma-
flcn by one actually IN the dark, or a shrewd
manner of paving the way Tor such an socca-
sion" as the TINES suggests, is not exactly clear
CuriOusly enough, however, the New YorI,
Sun, which so far has not been looked upou As
sustaining intimate relations with the head of
the Department OF State. undertakes 70 explain
his present position in regard to public sffairs.
According to this authority, be considers Gen
Grant a hTnl, prudent and patriotic man, who
VIII admIhiSter the Government with no par
pose except the good of the country: hut he
cannot give to the Republican party or its po!
1oy his appreciation or assent, particularly
with reference TO the recon struction Question
sun, 1t says, he is less able to IoIn or act with
the Democratic party, which he regards as hav-
ing been substantially opposed TO the country
curing the war, and this fact of itself puts 1t
out OF his power TO cooperate with 1t, even If
all other obstacles Were out of the way. The
result Is, that Mr.. Seward stands virtually out.
side OF all existing Political organizations, his
attitude II this respect being not unlike that of
Chief Justice Chase,-the difference between
the two former distinguished leaders OF the
Republican party being thai one separated
from 1t about the time OF President Johnson's
departure, while the o-her remained IN 1t up 10
a comparatively recent period.
This statement Of Secretary Seward's position
seems plausible and reasonable. though I, does
net pretend to b. in any sense or 10 any extent
official or inspired. We should not, however
Be surprised TO have from nm in his own Ian

WHO SINGi-Candor among ministers
ought to be as common as among other
folks, yet it is rather remarkable how
some of them can get the consent of
their consciences to the use of equiyo-
cal forms of speech, which regularly
slap the facts square in the face. For
example, in sanctuary where five or
six people in an elevated box, do all the
singing, it is refreshing to hear the
minister say, without moving a muscle
in memory of absent truth, "Let as sing
the 146th hymn" An exchange says
that the only honest statement of the
case which has come to its knowledge
was made in the presence of its editor,
a few Sabbaths ago, in the Pearl Street
Church, Hartford, Connecticut. The
pastor, to his equal establishment and
delight, announced, ave triU no'C listen
to the singing of the 36lst hymn" And
"listen" they al did, for not soul out
of the choir-lofJ peeped or muttered.
We commend this new outbreak of hon
esty to all similarly situated, whose
consciences may be troubled by the GUS
tomary forms.

ALLEGHENY ANTICs.-The Chronicle
has story Of a married woman residing
in Allegheny, who adopted novel and
very effectual plan for It venging abuses
received at the hands of her husband.
1t would appear that the husband is
generally very kind, but, unfortunately,
has weakness for the ardent. When
intoxicated he is very harsh in his treat
ment and his wife is frequently obliged
to seek refuge in the houses of neigh
bors to escape personal abuse. Matters
have been in this condition for some
time past, and the wife bore the i'll
treatment until forbearance ceased to
be a virtue. She determined npon re-
venge, and when "woman wills she
will, you may depend upon it," Tuesday
night the husband came home intOXl-
Gated, and, according to usual custom,
proceeded to abuse his wife. She es-
caped, however, and remained In q
neighbours house until the husband had
retired. She then returned home, and
securing a rope, firmly pinioned the
husband. After having secured him so
that it was impossi BILE for him to offer
any resistance, the wife proceeded to
chastise the husband in most vigorous
manner, and repaid with interest all the
abuse she had received. The husband
cried out with pain, implored cessa-
ton of hostilitics, and was profuse in
his promises of the kindest treatment
in the future. The wife, however, did
not desist uutil she felt confident that
the chastisement would be remembered.
Whether the plan pursued will succeed
in accomplishing the object desired re-
mains to be seen.
