The Case Well Stated.

Ex-Governor Horatio Seymour address
ed a large meeting at Bridgeport, Conn.
last week. From his speech we make the
following extract, and ask for it the atten.
ton Of. every reader:
"I ventured to ask to-day yerv intelli
gent man, whose position in life is proof Of
his capacity and fsagacity, bow much il
would cost the laboring man, or how many
hours a laboring man would have to toll in
order to support himself if he, had no such
thing as taxation IF, for example, q work.
ing man could procure his food and cloth.
ing at first cast, how many hours he would
have to soil to support himself? and the
answer was, ''six hours" which we may
consider very fair estimate. Now, YOU
are to remember showi much the cost Of
every thing is multiplied by taxation in it'd
various forms. Now, all labor above Six
hours is put upon you by the tax gatherer.
It is ,put upon you By the policy Of the
Government. Ofcourse we can not lift the
load Of taxation altogetl yer from the people.
You can not reduce the hours of labor to
six hours per day (; but I tell you, those Of
you who toll in the workshops, when you
have labored your six hours, when you are
.heginning to feel your arms weary, and you
desire either mental occupation or enjoy
,nent with your families, the tax-gatherer
comes Iin sand says No; we own four
hours Of your labor yet-you must pay
them to u.s. [Applause,] Now I ask you,

FUNERAL OF GEN. John H. MORGAN.

FUNERAL OF GEN. john FL. MORGAN. A
special dispatch dated Cincinnati, April
18th, contains The following :,5r g.
The funeral of Gen. John II. Morgan, of
Kentucl y, took place at Lexington, Ken
lucky, to- day. The attendance was not re-
uarkab'y large. There were delegations
from Ohio aud Virginia, but the majority
Of those who participated were personal
friends of the deceased and his followers as
Confederate soldiers during the war. tThe
remains were brought from Virginia by
a committee of citizens, and taken charge
by the friends in Lexington The funeral
took place from Christ's Church Episcopal
/ The coffin was literally covered with
wreaths and floral tokens. I've services
were conducted by Rev. Jacob Shipmau.
The pall-bearers were the chief officers Of
Morgan's military family, including Basil
Duke as pchief mourner. The coffin of
Thomas D. Morgan, killed at Lebanon in
1863, was laid beside his brothers in the
Morgan lot, which is beneath the shadow
o, the famous Henry Clay monument.
The services throughout were quiet, and
bore no indication whatever Of his military
career. The graves Of. the brothers were
heaped with flowers, after the grave ma
kers had concluded the work ofinterment.

son, the General, Immediately, with acopi-
Gus illustrations, "Hnot forgetting the most
prominent Of them all, that Of Grant, Jun.,

The Herald then continues:
"Whichever animal he rides, he always

Of the politicians. What effect this litera-

We know, however, what was the effect Of
General SCOTS speeches about the sweet
Irish brogue and the delightful German
accent, the delicate illusions to q garment
which shall be uncomfortable, and the has
ty plate of soup, the fire in the rear, and
all the other Welltimed, yet ill-timed, allu-

be Of this paternal biography on the
fortunes Of General Grant"

How TO RAISE EARLY CUcuMBERs. "A
good method to raise early cucumbers is
the following; Ia
1. Make trench in the warmest place
Of the garden into this put old manure
about three inches; on this plant the
seeds and cover them with sawdust, two OF
three inches. Cucumbers thus treated are
said to come earlier, endure rain, drouth
and even little frost, far better than
those treated another way. Against Sc.
we're night frosts they should be protected
by boards. :.
2. Take middle-sized foWer-pots, fill
them two-thirds with good soil, put the
seeds on this and cover with sawdust
sprinkle with warm water, and put the pots
near the stove. On the appearance Of the
plants, place the pot near the window
Care should be taken to harden the plants
before transplantipg them into the garden
by admitting air to them both day and
night.
3. Take eggs-shells the hole to be in the
upper end, three-quarters ofan inclI) gil
them with good soil and therein plant the
seeds. Plants thus raised, kept either it
the house or hot-beds, are easier trans
planted.

The Frauds Of the Carpet aggers.

In spite Of the Infamous, unblushing and
unparalleled frauds committed by The va
grant and mendicant carpet-baeoers. the
Democrats have carried their whole city
ticket, and, probably, their parish ticket
likewise, by handsome majority.
The atrocious attempt ofthe "trooly loil'
mendicants to sink the white people d
New Orleans beneath food Of frauaulen,
negro votes was, fortunately, unsuccessful
Nevertheless this, community will long re-
member the hrazen impudence with which
these creatures endeavored to consummate
their villainous programme. Such sights
we venture to say, have never before beer
seen sin any civilized country. Hordes o.
deluded, ignorant negroes, imported on
Friday from the contiguous parishes, were
marched up to the polls the next day and
voted on afidavits which had been prepar
ed in advance, and which were furnished
without scruple and without question BY
the facile instruments of this villainy.
There is not afraudulent expedient OF
device thai was, rot used by the radical
conspiratoTs. Double. and triple. voting
false papers, counterfeit papers. false affidaa-
Wits, aud an enormous colonization,i espec.
tally in the third and seventh wards, were
some oftlle articles to which the carpet
baggers resorted,
The impudence with which these things
were done is only equaled by the efirontery
Of the enraged radicals in changing fraud
on the Democratic party. We do not
make these statements lat.random. Hun
dreds Of persons looked on, with mortiGca-
ton and disgust, at the crowds Of planta-
ton negroes, who were marched up,to the
polls by their troo1y loil !" leaders, ali
armed with fraudulent ballots to be thrust
into the faces Of vainly protesting commits
sioners. An effort was made to check this
aagirous and shameless fraud; and, happily,
with some success. Had thesradicals con
sumated their plans they would have oyer
whelmed the white majority beneath del
uge of black ballots imported within the
previous twenty-four hours. As this col
onization of negroes from the, rural dis
tricts was effected principally on Saturday,
tits probable, indeed almost certain, that
the same negroes bad voted the previous
day in the country, ''t.is'9 7 ls't .i'ssif
We repeat that SO gigantic, open and
systematic an attempt to defraud an ac-
knowledsed majority of their rights, was
never before witnessed in this city. The
lannon's eplaoiu on, IN a. frar IL Of 7S11 onh
the Know-Nothing callot-box stuffing of
1855 were mere ipfantile efforts in COMPARE
son with the matnred villiany Of the New
Orleans carpet-baggers at the election of
last week. The ''troo|y loiR radicals may
rest assured that the success achieved by
the Democrats will not lessen their deter
mination to expose the swindleby which an
attempt wasimade to- cheat the people Of
this city of their rights and impose on the
acknowledgement ofthe commanding general.

The Assassination Of Ashburn.

We sincerely hope that the men who
murdered George w. Ashburn, on the
night Of March 80, in Columbus, Georgia,
will be discovered and brought to the pun
isbment which murderers merit. Justice
demands this--justice to the people Of the
South who, by this outrage, are made tar
gets for the shafts of.unprincipled Radical
sheets at the North. The Tribune, which
made such efforts to manufacture a /" mar
tyr" out of the remains of Destie, at New
Orleans, finds fresh subject in the MUIR
dered Ashburn. 1t declares that because
Ashburn .shas been a Radical Unionist
for years." and "has efficiently promoted
,'the organization Of the Radical party re-
CARELESS of color" he has been murdered.
Here are the exact verbs of the Tribune:
/" For this, he was marked out for destruc-
ton" We unhesitatingly pronounce this
"a wholly unwarranted assumption, reckless
ly made for purely partisan purposes; and,
indeed, in the very article from which we
quote, the Tribune makes this murder the
occasion for an indecent attack upon the
President Of the United States, whom the
Tribune characterizes as a" dead dog
We published on Saturday a letter from q
correspondent at Columbus, who sends the
first suecinct account Of the murder of Ash
burn. The letter is temperate, truthful,
and is written by a gentleman whose per-
sonaI and professional standing in Column
bus is unquestioned. He is otrthe ground,
and his testimony is worth more than the;
partisan declarations Of the editor of the
Tribune in this city. The Radical Union
list for years /" was violent secessionist
when the rebellion broke out "nothing,"
says the Tribune, " was ever alleged to his
prejudice" and yet he was slave overseer4
noted for his cruelty; the Tribune may
not consider it to his prejudice that he was
living with negress in a negro boarding
house at the very time when be was shot,
though the fact materially modifes. bis
claims to moral martyrdom; the fact also
that he was excessively obnoxious to many
of the white Radicals has led to surmise
that they might have murdered him. Not
a shred Of evidence appears to- tell who
murdered HIM, or what was the object of
the murder. The authorities, civil and mil
itary. are searching for the murderers we
hope the search will be speedily success
