WHAT is SAID IN WASHINGTON.
THE-P0SITI0N OF MR.. CHASE
THE GERMANS FOR BLAIR AND
SEYMOUR.
ATTACKS UPON THE NEXT PRESIDENT

The Washington correspondence of the New
York Tribune contains the following Wild re-
port:
Rumor has it that Mr.. Seymour, while the
Convention was in session, consulted DIS pny-
sicians upon the advisabllity OF his accepting
the nomination in case it should be rendered to
him. and that they unanimously protested
against it and advised him to decline. They
thought that the cares and anxieties incidental
to the campaign and to the Presidential ot1ce,
in the event Of his election, must be extremely
dangerous to his health, and might possibly
1 result fatally.
THE CHINESE TREATY.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Times, under date of the 14th instant,
says:
The Chinese treaty, the substance of which
WAS given,in these dispatches last night, was
before the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions this morning for consideration, and 1t was
substantially agreed upon. Mr.. Sumner will
prepare one or two amendments, and 1t WILL be
reported to the Senate for action within day
or two. The treaty, in brief, may be consider
to the family Of enlightened nations. Its prin.
cipal feature is, that it recognizes China as
a nation, to whom We are 10 accord inter-
national rights and obligations, and in
that respect is matter Of more Importance
to China than to us, since this country is
very willing to accord such recognition, while
France aud England have been backward in
that respect The treaty further recognizes
the right of the Chinese Empire TO the integri-
ty of it's own territory, by providing that no
system of internal improvements shall be
forced upon her without the consent OF the
Emperor. It recognizes the principles OF rei-
gious federation, the right OF emigration and
. 11an,, md
provision regarding schools and education. IL
contains no commercial provisions, as was at
first reported, and is looked upon here as pre-
| limipary to other and more important negotla-
tione hereafter, when the principles OF the pre-
sent treaty shall have been recognized by the
leading powers Of Europe.
THE POSITION OF MIR. CHASE.
The Washington correspondent OF the New
York Herald gives the following Delphic para
graph concerning Mr.. Chase:
Chief Justice Chase declared to-day to q
Western friend that while he could not person
aIly accord with the resolution against the Re-
| construction acts, and believed that the. pres
ent constitutions South ought to stand till
changed by the people of each State, all voting,
| vel he was Democrat, State Rights Demo.
crat, and in full sympathy with the Democratic
party.
THE GERMANS AND THE NOh1ShTlOSs'
Avery largely attended meeting of the gene
raj committee of the German Democratic Union
party OF New York was held on Tuesday even
ing. Oswald Ottendorfer, ESQ.,, editor Of the
staats Zeitung, presided; A. Gottmann, ESQ.,,
secretary. After brief speeches, the following
resolutions were adopted
Reso!red, That We heartily endorse the
| nominations Of the Democratic National Con-
vention, and that we shall do all in our power
to secure TIE election Of Horatio Seymour,
the foremost man in the ranks OF the pemoc-
racy of tine Empire State" and Of Francis
Preston Blair, tie brave and gifted warrior OF
Resoiued, That We consider perfect under
standing to exist between the platform Of the
Democracy, adopted at the last Convention,
and the principles the nominees, and We are
satisfied that their election will nd the people
OF the burdens and woes which have befa!.en
them since corrupt Radical party has taken
charge exclusively Of the national affairs.
| Resolued. That in our sincere belief q con-
tinuation OF the prevalence Of the Radical party
must unavoidably lead to the ruin OF the credit
and welfare OF The country, and it's happiness
and progress, and that we consider it an i'm
perative duty TO put an end 70 Radical Republ-
| canism for all time to come.
ATTACKS ON GOVERNOR SEYMOUR.
!. The New York Sun notes the fact that some
Of its Republican contemporaries attempt to
prejudice the prospects of the Democratic
ticket by intimating or asserting that Governor
Seymour is OF go delicate constitution that
the duties of the Presidency will break down
the balance Of his mind and make him insane.
In that event, as Senator Nye has asserted,
General Blair would become President, and at
once carry out his programme Of anarchy and
bloodshed. The Sun very justly says
This appears to us very improper mode of
political warfare which must recod upon those
who employ it. Il seems designed to wound
private feelings rather than to advance any
legitimate purpose. Governor Seymour is now
| 6fty-seven years old. He has been many years
in public life; he has repeatedly been Governor
OF New York, On Office whose discharge exer-
cises quite as great strain upon the nervous
system and the mental faculties as that ofthe
Presidency. In this station, and in every
other, Governor Seymourhas exhibited capaci-
tJ and ds;cadinees which have given him great
reputation as statesman. There has been
nothing in his public career tojustify this bug
bear Of possible insanity
