Mr.. THOMAS DoNoHo.-Charles Lanman,
ESQ, the well-known author OF the "Summcr
In the wilderness" and an artist OF no me IAN
reputation, has lately been writing some we'll
timed letters to the New York Evening Post,
and In one Of the last numbers Of that sterling
Journal he says the following well-deservcd
tribute to q well-known and highly valued
citizen Of the District, MIR. Thomas Donoho.
Mr.. Donoho was connected with the National
fnieiiigenecr for full half century, and IL some
ject for a valuable citizen to contribute to the
current literature OF the day his experie nee
for fifty years, 1t would not only make read.
able but n valuable book. But let US hear Mt
Lanman's story in his own language:
THE chief business man and bookkecper OF
the Intsiligencer establishment, and the warm
personal friend OF the editors, was Mr.. Thomas
Donoho. He was born in Maryland, and was
connected with the journal for about fifty
years, and during all that time never made but
ton, he won and commanded the highest re-
spect OF those who had business with them,
and the devotion OF the former to the welfare
OF their country has only been equaled by the
faithfulness OF the latter to the interests OF his
distinguished friends. When the iHiciiigenccr
office had been sold, and an entire change
made in Its affairs, Mr. Donoho was asked TO
continue there on duty, to which request he
made this characteristic reply: NO, | cannot
be happy over the grave of the IHicHigenccr;'
the heart even to make a visit to the
old quarters. lie asked one boon OF the
new proprietors, however, which was, that
they would give him the old signboard Of the
office, under which so many famous men In
the olden times had passed into the sanetums
OF the editors. The request was granted, and,
true to his character, Mr.. DOnoho deposited
II In safe place at the shop OF q cabinet.
maker, with the injunction that II shall form
part his coffin when he comes to die"

his choice of the articles. Many were the at

very slim, but during the evening the street

for the first time, with thirteen children and
seven teachers, Now they number one hun.
dred scholars and sixteen teachers, five OF
whom are now useful members OF the church
They have also valuable library of over 100

happy day for them.
We were highly pleased with the progress
Of the school, and particularly with the inter-
est manifested In its welfare by the teachers
They have our good wishes for stili greater

hinly Is room enough for all such praisewor-
thy efforts as this, and we hope the teachers

Seymour'S Honor.

In what did the honorable obligation
consist, that made Mr.. Seymour declare re-
peatedly that he could not accept the nom-
ination without personal dishonor? Was
it simply that he had stated thathe was not
candidate, that he did not desire the NOM
ination, and that he could not accept it, and
that if he should accept after all these pro-
fessions, it would create the reflection that
he was insincere in making them?
If that is all, it would at the worst only
give rise to the suspicion that he had re-
fused when he was willing to receive There
is no deep and tremendous dishonor about
that, even if it were true. But the fact
that he did refuse in the Convention, and
that the nomination was pressed upon him
with demand which would take no refusal
would exonerate him from all suspicion of
insincerity in declining.
This was not that which constituted the
dishonor 1t was that Mr.. Seymour had
entered into a negotiation to bring in Mr..
Chase as the candidate, and that in that ne
gotiation he had pledged himself that he
would not be used as a candidate to pre-
vent the nomination of Mr.. Chase. And
vet he did allow himself to be so used
This was what constituted the personal dis
honor, and he embraced it. He was used
TO defeat Mr. Chase, after he had pledged
his honor that he would not, be under any
circumstances.
We remark this is in no spirit of dissat-
isfaction with the nomination of Mr. Sey-
mour. 1t is intensely satisfactory to us for
several reasons. In the first place, with
Mr.. Seymour as a candidate, the Democrat
ic party goes into the contest under their
true colors This is an assurance of their
defeat. The object of the Chase stratagem
was to use a nominal Republican to divide
the Republican party, and bring the Dem
ocratic party into power. Mr. Chase was
to undertake to restore the ascendancy of
the Democratic party in consideration of
their running him for President
And who supposes that the Democratic
party would change its nature in such an
operation? The platform, whether MIR.
Chase or Mr.. Seymour had fixed it np.
would be bat form of words to delude.1
1t would not have changed the Ethiopians s
skin nor the leopard's spots. The game
was TO bring the Democratic party into
power in all departments of the Govern
ment for a personal consideration. Mr.
Seymour's nomination makes a square con
test And, furthermore, we desire that the
Democrats shall nominate their best man,
We do not desire that the country shall
take the remotest risk of the election of
their worst man, for the sake of beating
him more easily.-Ci Cincinnati Gazette.
