MRssRs s. F. CRoss & Co., Canton, Ohio.
GENrLKMES: your letter of the 4th inst,
calling our attention TO an article in the
Pittsburgh Gazette, headed, GALVANIZED
LIGHTNING RoDs, is received for which
please accept our thanks. The object of
the article is so plain and the contents so
absurd that we feel sure it will, like all lies,
recoil on its lying authors. This cowardly
whelp seeks to injure our celebrated Star
Galvanized Rods by appearing to the public
in the shape of an Editorial caution against
our goods and puff for his own, we pro-
pose to unnask this lying article and show
the public how it came to be published. 1t
is fact and knowing that you can get al
most any thing published that you will PAY
for, this party got this article, written by
himself, published in the Pittsburg Gazette
for MONEY, when ever our business requi-
res us to stoop to such business We shall
quit, we have nothing to say about Munser's
Rods, all we have have TO say we say open
ly over our proper signature we never
skulk in the dark and stab our neighbors
secretly or leave such bsseness to such
creatures as delight in il. For the last five
years we have Manufactured and sold to all
parts of the continent over p million Of
feet annually of oar Star Galvanized Light
ming Rods. We have during the whole
time offered reward of $500 TO any par
son who would prove uiat sny building has
been injured by lightning upon which our
Rods, ''in sufficient number" had been
properly and scientifically erected thereon.
We have erected over nine thousand feet on
one College, Cvasser College N. W we
have put our Rods on most of the colleges
in New England and il is supposed that they
understand Electricity as well as this Mum
ser Puffer. Very Respectfully yours,
REYBURN HUHTKR & Co

MORE PARTICULARS.

A dispatch from Mansfield, June 29th
says 1t has transpired that q servant girl
ns1hed Carrie Dean was a party to the
Boyd Mercer robbery case, last week. She
confessed the crime, and implicated a man
from Indianapolis named Frank Gardner,
who is not known here. She says at his
suggestion she wrote the bogus despatch,
and on Friday afternoon admitted him into
the house, where he remained all night and
committed the robbery, while two police
officers were about the premises. He left
after the officers had retired in the morning,
leaving the gold with the girl, which she
hid in the cellar, where it was found-$lT5.
The value of the money and property Ia
ken was about SIOO. No arrests have been
made. .-' u4-

A NEw HEARsE.-Messrs Haas & Prince,
undertakers of our city have recently pre-
cured a beautiful new Hearse which is q
great improvement on that one they have
been using for some years which was really
also very fine hearse. This new hearse
was built by our friend Henry Walser of
Alliance, and is got up in the best style of
the art. Its cost was one thousand dollars
and by no means dear at that.

Just as we were going to press, the

HORATIO SEYMOUR, the grand
statesman and glorious Democrat, and
earnest, Patriot, and true Representa- :

reaches US, and we rejoice TO say it is

from the Cincinnati Enquirer, July 10. ]
For twenty years no man has ex-
erted wider influence upon public
affairs in the Democratic party. No
mani is better known or more admired.
He not only has no equal in any party,
out he has no rival. Gifted with a
fine presence, with a remarkable and
copious flow of language, with ele-
CANT diction. he is unsurpassed as an
QFdCOFs ne Is the prluc anu Orna-
ment of the Empire State. He COM
menced life as q Democrat, and has
never wavered in his advocacy of that
political faith.
In his private life there is no blem-
ish, his morals are pur,, hisrepu q ion
untarniShed. He was not a candidate
for the nomination for the presidency,
but repeatedly declined, and it was
only upon the solicitation of the west
and the unanimous voice of the con-
vention that he accepted the nomi-
nation. Why then should he not be
supported by the democracy of the
country? What objections can relia-
bly, be urged against him? His char
acter and qualifications are eminent /;
he is eminent as an orator he is dis
tiDguished as staLeSmRn; there is no
comparison between him and Grant,
either politically or personally. He
will supported by the democracy
and will be nphantly elected.
He was not originally the choice of
the West as is well known, for they
preferred with extraordinary unanim-
ity Hon. Geo. H. PendIeton, but ow-
ing to adverse circumstances he has
bean defeated, and the nomination
has fallen upon GeV. Seymour thro'
the action of Mr.. Pendieton's friends.
We do not hesitate to pledge him
their cordial support. g

SECOND DAYS PROCEEDINGS.
NEW York, July 6.

Various delegations paraded in procession,
passed New Tammany Hall and arrived at
the great hall of Cooper Union at twelve.
Torn and tattered battle flags from nearly
every field of strife of the late war were
present, prefacing the entrance of delsga-
tions, and in their rear arrived various del
egatiOns, rapidly filling up the hall. During
the filing in of delegates and officers of the
Convention, the various bands, by concerted
arrangement, played Hail Columbia, Rally
Round the Flag, &c. Cheers were given
and shouts of applause rent the air, and
| bedlom was epitonlzed. There was unanim-
ity even in confusion, and such names as
Mcclellan, Hancock, Packer, Slocum and
Franklin were greeted with invariable ap-
! plause.
At noon the Chairman, Major General
William B. Franklin, of Connecticut, called
! the Convention to order by vigorous raps
! upon the Speakers stand. B.
| The Secretary, Colonel O'Brien, then road
the rules of order as reported by the Com
mittee on Resolutions.
General Slocum, of New York, from the
committee on Resolutions, reported thai
that committee was not yet prepared to re-
port its draft of platform, and reported al
address to the National Democratic Conven
| ton in response to an invitation to the floOl
of that body, declaring the object of tht
| Soldiers and Sailors Convention to be the
| same as those which animated them during
the war; deploring radical legislation, de
nouncing the apostacy of men who wer,
once Democrats, censuring the prescription
of legal war at the South, and declaring
General Grant a renegade.
i motion was made that the report jus
read should be accepted and committee o
tWenty-one appointed to present the same Il
the National Convention. Unanimously
carried
General McQuade addressed the Conven
tion, advocating order, deliberation and de
corum, stating that there were doubles
men present who had been sent by organi
cations representing the opposite parties, ant
whose sole object was to make disturbance
He therefore moved that the call of State
be made and resolutions therefrom be rea
by their respective ChaiImen in their Orde
