what the rebel press has generally heral-

in rebel sheriff and crowd gathered for

Gov. SEYMoUR's ACCEPTANCE Ho-
ratio Seymour has at last published his
promised letter accepting the democratic
nomination for president, and the docu-
ment is chiefly remarkable for length and
the tone Of calm despair which pervades
1t. 1t has none of the enthusiasm or ring
OF expected success, and is chiefly devoted
to pointlngout the sins and shortcomings of
the republicans, as viewed from the dem
ocratic standpoint, in fact reads very
much like cold hash of World editor
ials. MIR Seymour disclaims all person
al ambition for the high Office TO which
he has been nominated, AMI very plainly
has no hopes being elected 10 it.
The old rebels are organizing in
military style for the support of Seymour
and Blair.

demonstrations of approval for themselves,
and INDIGNATION toward the home govern

ed protest against the decision of the House
of Commons on Mr.. Bright's motion. This
document begins as follows:
As that decision may affect the loyalty of

historical Importance, the undersigned, on
personal grounds, desire to shake themselves
clear of the responsibility which one House
of Parliament, acting under the guidance of
Her Majesty's Government, has assumed.

The marriage of Men)tt Garibaidi ID
Italia Bedeschina, which has just taken place
at Bologna, seems to have awakened consider
able enthusiasm in that city. According to the
Diritto, the people came forth in crowds to
cheer the young couple; addresses were pre-
sented to them; and music was played in their
honor throughout the day. In the evening,
when they went to the theatre, Garlbaldi's
Hymn was called for, and given several times,
amid cheers for Garibaldi himself Rome, Ita-
ly, and the newly-married pair. Garibaldi
owing to iil-health, was unable to be present at
the marriage ceremony.
Madame Jadot whose maiden name was
Jeanne Bernadotte, and who was the niece of

An improvement has been introduced in
to the practice of bull-fghting which will be
acceptable to the Society for the Prevention

other velocipede to take the place of the bull.
The bringing out OF one hundred girls to

Concerning PilIsbury.

1t is found to be useless to call upon Mr..
Pillsbury, formerly of Kingfeld, now the
Democratic candidate for Governor, to cor
rect any OF his false statements. Weeks have
elapsed since their exposure in these col
umns by letter from the Clerk of the ma
tional House of Representatives. Still no
response. Very WE'LL let it be understood
that those statements are deliberate false
hoods. Let Piisbury's moral status be re-
garded as established But irrespective of
any considerations of the kind above referred
to, what are his qualifications tor the posi-
tion to which he aspires? Some men who
have had no experience in public life have
been elected to office, but having peculiar fit
ness through special training or naturel gen
rus, have acquitted themselves well.
Chamberlain, man of cultivated mind who
had acquired a knowledge OF both men and
letters as college professor, finished his ed
ucation on the battlefield. Elevated to the
position which he now holds, he makes one
OF the best executive officers Maine has ever
had. The people Of Maine know Chamber
lain, having tried him in three eminently re-
spons.ble and difficult positions. What posi-
ton has Mr.. Pillsbury ever held that author
ICES him to hope to leap at once into the
highest position in the gift Of the State
Where have his powers ever been tried? He
is very respectable as a criminal lawyer, it is
true, but does that alone qualify him to man
age the complicated and delicate machinery of
State government? Before Grant was adopted
as the Republican candidate for the Presiden-
cy, his ability had been twice tried by as severe
methods as ever mortal man was subjected to
The vast interests of the nation rested upon
his shoulders during the war. The organiza-
ton, the discipline and the direction of
million soldiers were intrusted to his hands.
He succeeded. Napoleon himself who took
nothing on trust, would have required less
than ths as test of genius. The only thing
in Pillsbury's life corresponding to the mill
tary career Of Grant, is the encouragement he
gave to the inhabitants or Kingfed and the
adjoining towns to resist the draft. Since
the war, the complicated affairs of the War
Department passed temporarily into Grants
hands. BY the plain and unequivocal admis-
sion of Democratic journals he saved millions
of dollars to the government during his brief
tenure of Office. How does Pillsbury's ex-
hibit of financial ability in doctoring McPher-
sons report correspond with this?
Pilsbury is lawyer, and in criminal cases
is adroit and sometimes successful No one
claims for him, even in his profession, much
learning or very large experience. He at
one time edited the Pennington Patriot and
now edits the Maine Standard. That is the
whole case in his favor. We have told the
other side in a previous article. People of
Maine, whom do you choose. Chamberlain of
Little Round Top, or Pillsbury of Kngfeld?
