The attack on the French Republican Club at
the Jersey City Ferry and in Canal-st. on Mon
day evening, by Seymour's old Friends OF
July, 1863, indicates the existence of an active
Ku-Klux organization in this city The French
Club is strong organization, and will do effect
i've work in the campaign. Its President, Mr.
r. de Thouars, is an active young man, and an
effective speaker lie will soon take the field.
The German Clubs throughout the city and
State are working noby, and will turn ont a
rousing vote for Grant and Colfax Several
Irish Republican Clubs have recently Deen
formed in this State. but they seem to lack the
vigor and energy characterizing the French ana
German Associations. How lrishmen can sup
port Frank Blair in view of his Fenian speech
delivered in St. Louis in the Summer of 1866, sur
passes comprehension. We print the speech IN

HIS SEYMOUR BEEN SLANDERED'


When Gov. Seymour was first nominated for the
Presidency by the National Democracy, THE TRIBUNE
other Radical at once began throwing mud at
him, and they have continued ever since 80 10 40 &C.
We meet this charge with fiat cOntradic-
ton. We have thrown no mud at Gov.
Seymour. AS Tic World in effect confesses,
we have in no manner assailed nor questioned
his private character. But he is a candidate
for our very highest public trust and his public
life and utterances have been made legitimate
subjects of inquiry and criticism, not by us but
by our political adversaries. They have set
HOratiO Seymour before the country, and chal-
lenged a scrutiny of his past career as poll
tcian. We have taken up the glove precisely
as they threw it down. They virtually say,
" Here is our foremost statesman and patriot!
"scrutnize his course, and decide therefrom
chow he would serve and suit you as Presi-
"dent, and judge us and our aims by our de-
"liberately chosen standard bearerw We ac-
cept the issue as they tender it, and have en-
deavOred to show, from his own deeds and
words, why he should not be chosen President.
What else should we have dOne9 In what
scales should he desire to be weighed7 If to
quote SeymOur's harangues to prove SeymOur's
dislOyalty to Human Liberty and his imperiled
country be throwing mud" how shall we con-
duct the canvass so as not to evoke the
shrieks of The World?
Let us see what we have charged, and how
far our charges have been met
l. We have charged that HOratio Seymour,
throughout the long struggle between Liberty
and Slavery for predominance in our country,
has been the subtle, fluent, adroit, sOphistical,
INSCRIPTIONS, untirng attorney of Slavery
the champion of her successive aggressiOns on
the rights and the dominion of Free Labor in
the Annexation of Texas, the overthrow of the
Missouri Restriction, the Border Ruffian out
RACES in Kansas, the bred Scott decision, the
LecOmpton Iniquity, &c, &c. Has this been
denied Has it not been virtually confessed,
even by The World?
III. We charged that, when the Southern
Democratic chiefs. having deliberately divided
the Democratic party in order that Mr. Lincoln
might be chosen President by the Republicans,
mt once made that election q pretext for in
augurating Secession, Gov. Seymour, instead
of blaming them for such conduct and threat
ening them with fearful consequences in case
they did not desist from attempting to break
up the Union, pitched savagely into the Re-
publicans, and insisted that they (not yet in

THE MYSTERIES or UDOLPHO

There is unquestiOnably an occult and mys-
FERROUS relation between Mr.. Udopho Wolfe's
Schiedam Schnapps and the late National Dem
ocratic Convention. Mr.. Wolfe has published
a pamphlet, evidently intended for Southern
circulation in the compilation of which he has
| turned his talents as a mixer" to good ac-
count. First, we have q record Of the dOngs
| of the Convention. Then follows a short but
| thrilling biography of the gin-man, concluding
with the information that during the whole
"war no one in New-York stood up for the
South, and did more to alleviate the distress
| "of the Southern prisoners, than Mr. Wolfe. y
| This enterprising merchant seems to have de-
voted 80 much Of his time to the improvement
of his liquor that he has rather than else neg
lected the cultivation of his loyalty. 1t has
generally been understood that standing up
"for the South meant treasOn-a disease
which the Aromatic Schedam Schnapps, pamcea
as they are for all other complaints, has failed
to cure in Udolpho, or else he doesn't take his
own medicine. Whether the gin business is get
ting slack at the South OF not we are unable to
say but Udolpho prints in large type upon
the title page of his pamphlet: Stand by your
friends who have stood by YOU" which means !:
"Don't have anything to do with Bininger !!
" Discard Old Tom and Cream of the Valley
Give up your prediction for Bourbon
Drink nothing but my Aromatic Schedam
"Schnapps, which cure every complaint known
"to the human interior, and are just the thing to
"relieve that distress of mind which the failure
" of the Rebellion has Occasionedw If the unre-
constructed heroes to whom this touching ap-
peal is made can for moment resist it, we
think it must be because they have no money
and Udolpho, although the most benevolent
manufacturer Of gin in the universe, sells for
cash. He gives away his pamphlets, but he
must draw the line somewhere, and he does MT
give away his gin. If he did, pray how could
lie run that enormously extensive distlllery in
Schiedam, OF that great bottling warehouse in
Hamburg, which he informs us is $500 feet
"long and 100 feet wide 7" If he did, how
could he have "stood up for the South" con-
tributing, to relieve its distress, not hundreds,
but, as he boasts, thousands Of dollars 7"
No: there is balm in Giead and o physician
there, but the balm is one dollar bottle, and
the physician does MT intend to heal even Rebels
for nothing
The pamphlet before us contains two biOg-
raphies of two very great men. The first is
Udolpho Wolfe, and the second is Horatio Sey-
mour. Wolfe was born in Richmond, Va.
Seymour was born in Pompey, N. Y. Wolfe's
father was named Benjamin. Seymour's father
was named Henry. The parents of Udolpho
died when he was quite young-in fact, before
he had invented his Aromatic Schiedam
Schnapps, which might have prolonged the life
of the venerable couple to this very hour.
Henry Seymour was born III 17SO--an impor-
tant fact, which now for the first time comes
to our knowledge. Udolpho discovered the

The troubles in Hayti seem to be culminat-
ing, and the news we print this morning indi-
Gates with every appearance of certainty the
speedy defeat Of President Salnave. UnfOrtu-
nately, while these troubles are eliminating
they are not ended, and the triumph of the
Rebels will be the starting point OF new COM
plcations We took occasion some weeks ago
to remark that Sanaye maintained the best
relations with the American Consul, and to call
attention to the mOnarchical party i'll the
island who are DESTROYS of promoting European
interests in Hayti. Now, excuses on the part
of Salnaye are reported and the English Con
sui is said to have threatened interference IN
case they are repeated. The English are not
very fayOrably affected toward Salnave. and
Salnave is hostile to England, so that fuller
details are necessary to arrive at just conclu-
sions respecting these reported Outrages. How
far these hostile feelings and interests may
have affected the news we print to-day we
cannot say, but the troubles with the Consul
seem to be the first development of the Eu
ropean policy.

This is the beginningO of another demand upon

First, we must have set of Federal officers there
drawing large salaries; next, an army of occu-
patton also absorbing large amount of money;
and now we are to have steamers, paid by the
Government to carry mails from our people,

quency of fires along the great lines of rail
way, the destructive element in many cases
extending to the corn-felds adjacent to the

standing corn and cut corn. Nothing at all
like it has ever before been seen in England
every mile of the great trunk lines, 1t is said,
bringing picture of some blackened field upon
which the devouring flames have been at work.
These fires are attributed to the fact that loco

more fiery than they were, showers of cinders

volcanic shower, while the train is in prog

ORR CORN CROP.

From present appearances there will be fan
crop of Indian Corn this year. There can be n,
damage from drOuth because the fields are To-,
far advanced and too well filed with all the ele-
ments of ripeness, even if no more rain shonla
fall. In many sections additional moistars
would do more harm than good, for the reason
that only now, and for the first time this season.
the ground has become mellow. This refers %
the clays in positions naturally wet. A corn
crop never has been grown IN so short TINA
as this. Much of it was not planted until the
middle of June. As a consequence, uncommOny
short periods elapsed between each working.
weeds and grass could get no start, and there
was no check to the growth, for every hour was
warm. The utmost diligence of the farmer was
applied, because life and death, so TO speak, de-
pended upon his efforts. The several years
past have been what would be called much
more favorable for growing corn, and yet none
really were so much so as this year thus far
appears to be. The only calamity which can
befall the crop is an early frost, but whether il
will come no one can foTetell. We may say
that on an average a month of the present
weather is required to ripcn the crop, though
in the valleys of the tributaries of the Ohio,
such as the Miami, the Muskingum, Scioto.
and Wabash, it will be secure within three
weeks.
The Importance of this crop TO our commerce.
industries, and well-being is very great, and il
has often been dwelt upon, but not always with
correctness in details Estimates are often made
of the capacity of the crop to support vas.
population in the future but this Is based upon
what the soil has done in the past without
taking into account the rapidity with which eK-
haustiOn has been going on from repeated
groupings and contemptuous disregard Of
manures. Indeed when corn has grown
heaviest and with least labor, cultivation has
been most reckless, as though the soil contained
an inexhaustible supply of fertility and it is
to be noted that in such localities larger
breadths have been devoted to this grain. With
each year the rural population has actually de-
creased; rough species of aristocracy has
become possessed of many comparatively small
holdings; and social advantages were far from
being on the increase. This style of farming is
destined to have a disastrous end, unless
change in the management of corn ground shall
be superseded by one containing the simple
elements, at least, of good farming.

Mr. Gladstone's great speech to his electors,
the substance of which we publish this morn
ing, shows how the Liberals will meet
the No Popery cry of the Tories. The duplicty
of Disraeli has furnished them with powerful
weapons. Mr.. Gladstone proved, with con-
vincing force which no unbiased mind will be
able to resist, that the original plan of the
Tories with regard to Church Reform in Ireland
went so far as include the endowment of the
Roman Catholic Church. If the masses of the
English people can be made to understand the
undOubted correctness of Mr.. GladstOne's aSSer-
ton, it is the leaders of the Tories not the
Liberals, against whom the No Popery cry
should direct itself There are thousands and
thousands of voters who regard the Established
Church in Ireland as a strong bulwark against
the Roman Catholic Church, but who will not
hesitate moment to consent rather to the dis
establishment of that church than to the estab-
lishment of the Church of Rome. Already the
vast majority of the Dissenters are very decided
supporters of Mr.. GladstOne's plan, fact that
must in advance disarm all candid minds as to
the alleged alliance between the Liberals and
the Roman Catholics.
