the LAKE ERIE DISASTER.


From the Troy Times, June al
The names Of Misses Mary and Caroline Patchen.
OF this city, granddaughters Of the late General
George K. Davis, appear among the missing by the
accident on Lake Erie on Saturday. They were
aged respectively twenty-three and twenty years,
and were young ladies OF the highest accomplish
ments, OF great beauty and unusual promise. Ten
derby beloved by large circle OF attached relatives
for their many amablc traits Of character their sad
death has awakened the most poignant emotions Oh
sorrow In many hearts. One week ago last saturday
the sisters left the residence Of their mother, near
the Of Ninth and Hoosick streets for the West,
with the view OF visiting their uncle, Darwin Patch
en-, at BufYao. and then ourneying to Cleveland to
attend wedding. They took their departure rom
BUFFALO on Tuesday last for Cleveland, where
they remained until saturday last, when they
embarked on board the Inflated steamer North Star,
bound for Detroit and met their sad fate. me FIRST
intelligence OF her terrible bereavement was cOmmu
ncated TO the aiiicted mother yesterday afternoon
BY Mr.. George G. Burdett aud John Sherry.

1t is stated with an appearance Of
authority, that Chief Justice Chase
will vote for Grant and Colfax, and
that he regards himself al ill-used
by the Democratic leaders, who, by
making him believe that they were
going to nominate him, got from
him various cemmittals and then let
him slide. 1t is also surmised that
the reason why Governor Seymour
repeatedly declared in the Tammany
Convention that he could not be
their candidate consistently with his
own honor, was that he had, on his
part, given some sort Of pledges to
the Chief Justice which he felt him
self bound to make good. However
that may be, it is evident that tho
nomination of Frank Blair must
drive Judge Chase from the Demo-
cratic party, just as it drives away
thousands of older Democrats than
he, as well as all the moderate con-
servative men, who of late had been
inclined to vote the Democratic
ticket, but who can't stand Franks
programme of revolution and civil
war. Probably, too, there IS no
man in the country more dlstastelu!
to the Chief Justice on personal
grounds than Frank Blair. In his
dav. Jude Chase has had a fair
share of enemies but none of them
has been more bitter and undisguis-
ed than the present Democratic can
didate for the Vice Presidency

nomination ~. Y Sun, Ind.

SIanders of Radicals Successful
Iy Rcfuted.

We are pleased to learn that the
Radical ISLANDERS, against the ever
loyal and faithful democracy will
be triumphantly refuted on the
stump during the coming campaign.
by undoubted exponents Of Demo
cratic sentiment. We copy the pro-
gramme from the Hartford Post
1t will bee seen that not o vestige
Of the Loyal libels will remain:
The Democrats are about organ
izing their campaign. Orators will
will be selected with especial regard
to their fitness for certain localities,
and their adaptation to the Business
of meeting and refuting certain
Black Republican ISLANDERS.
1t has been charged that Seymour
was not loyal man-that he did
not contribute to the support of the
Rebellion. Mr.. Vallandigha,n will
answer the charge upon The stump
in the North and Wade Hampton in
the South. Both Of these gentle
men support Seymour on account
of his loyalty.
1t has been charged that he was
in sympathy with the New York ri
oters in July. James and Erastus
Brooks and Isaiah Rynders, who in
cited the mob, will answer that
charge. They support him because
he put down the riot.
1t is charged that he is in favor OF
paying the interest on the national
debt in ''irredeemable currency" G..
H. Pendleton will be put upon the
stump to answer this. Pendleton
supports him because he is the bond
holders candidate.
tits charged that Seymour is in
favor of paying the coupons in gold.
Mr.. Belmont, who is great stick
ler for equality in taxation and now
supports Seymour as plow holder
against the bondholders, will put
several speakers on the stump to re-
fute this charge.
1t is charged that Frank Blair is
in of favor overturning the govern
ments of the reconstructed States
by military interference. Henry
Clay Dean, who is eminently man
of peace, will throw his whole in
tellectnal ssheft'' on that SANDER.
1t is charged that Blair drinks
Salisbury of Delaware, will reply to
that accusation.
1t is charged that the platform is
in favor of reputation. Brick Pom
eroy, an eminent upholder of the
national debt and honor, will devote
himself to answering this charge.
1t is charged that the election OF
the ticket will secure to the Confed-
eracy what it failed to obtain. in the
field. In answer to this base Sian
der such distinguished patriots as
Henry A. Wise, G. T. Bureaugard,
Wade Hampton, Gov. Vance, Jeff
Davis and A. H. Stephens will take
the stump.

Mr.. Seymour's political record is
a vulnerable one. He is cautious
in speech and timid in action
While he did not go to such ex-
tremes in opposing the war as Val
landigham, Jesse D. Bright, the
Woods, H. Clay Dean and C. Chaun-
cey Burr, his course was equally, if
not more, mischievious to the cause.
He kept up the fire in the rear,
made no effort to sustain the credit
of the Government or encourage
volunteering, and at a very critical
period, while Grant was toiling in
the trenches before Vicksburg, and
Lee, with a victorious, army, pushed
his way into Pennsylvania, a mob
broke out in New York City, in
which Mr.. Seymour's "friends" en-
gagged, and believing they had his
sanction and would have his protec-
ton, they destroyed OF plundered
public and private houses, and mas
sacred unofending men and women
in the streets.
When the Democratic Conven-
ton assembled in Chicago, in 1864,
Mr.. Seymour was made the presid-
ing officer. His speech on that oc-
cassion did as much toward dis
couraging the public mind as the
platform which pronounced the war
a failure and urged a compromise.
Could Seymour then have had his
way, the Union would have been IT,
retrievably destroyed, and he would
have no occasion to stand up in
Tammany Hall four years after and
thank God that s'we can call through
the whole roll Of States, and find.
men to answer to each"
Mr.. Seymour is not a liberal and
progressive Democrat. He stands
by the traditions of the party, he
shares its prejudices, he sympathizes
with every effort to continue So
cial caste created by slavery, and
appeals to the antipathies of race
solely for political ends. His par.
tisan record will prevent the Repub-
licans of the East from going over
to the Democracy. His sympathiz-
ing with the bondholders will SER
iously affect his prospects in the
West, and he will no where be able
to poll more than a strictly party
vote. He is a weak man for the
Presidency and ought easily to be
beaten CHM. Com.

Frank Blair on Gen. Grant.

The Hon. Frank P. Blair, after
his speech in this city, in the pres
ence of number of gentlemen,
in reply to q remark that "Grant
was a fool,'. said:
"Sir, you are mistaken. Grant is
no fool. 1 knew him before he went
into the army, and when he used to
haul wood into the city of St Louis.
| met him often in the service. I
know the man. He is, by, the
greatest man of the age. Sherman,
Sheridan, and Thomas are good
men, but Grant is worth more than
all of them.
"Oliver Cromwell aud Napoleon
Bonaparte were both great men, but
sir, tell you that Grant is a great.
er man than Cromwell and Napol-
con Bonaparte put together. He is
not talker, but he is ono of the
d-est thinkers in the world.
"He is ambitious, but he don't
show it; and tell you that if he is
elected President, he will set up q
monarchy and establish himself EN-
peror.
81 tell you that the people are
mistaken when they suppose Grant
to be fool. They have good rea-
son to fear his greatness.
Eyes, but don't you think that he
will be controlled by such men as
Sumner, Wilson, and Washburne 7''
eControlled ? ControIIad WIN
by Cd, he would sweep them away
like straw
"But, General, don't you think
that circumstances have done q
great deal for Grant ?''
"Why, h-ll, the fellow has made
the circumstances. tell you that
| it is no luck.
"The man that can spring right
up from poverty and obscurity, and
do what he has done, is no mere
creature of circumstances. Circum-
stances don't run so much in one
way"
Il am a Democrat, but if Gen.
Grant is such great man as you
say he is, I am a Grant man from
this out"
"Well, if you want despotism,
vote for him; hut if you want re-
publican form of government, yeu
will have to vote against him. I
know that he is great man, and
by G., in saying SO, I simply tell
the truth

while it was pending, and asserting
that no more Constitutional amend
ments were needed, and then caus
ing this conversation to be published
and circulated among members of
Congress, Mr.. Stevens said, "this
authorized utterance was made in
such way, that, centuries ago, had
it been made to Parliament by a
British King, it would have cost him
his head. But, sir, we pass that by !;
we are tolerant of usurpation iE this
tolerant government of ours"
At another time, on the debate
upon the reconstruction measures,
speaking Of the section prohibiting
rebels from voting till 1870, he said !:
''here is the mildest of all punish
ments ever inflicted on traitors. 1
might not consent to the extreme
severity denounced upon them by a
provisional governor ofTennessee !:
L mean the late lamented Andrew
johnson of blessed memory; but I
would have increased the severity
of this section.'''
Yet again, speaking of the third
section of the 18th amendment of
the Constitution as he had drawn it
Git was much weakened in the pass
age through the Senate), and of the
opposition it had excited in the
House, he said, "Do not I pray you,
admit those who have slaughtered
half million Of our country-men
until their cloths are dried, and until
they are re-clad. I do not wish to
sit side by side with men whose
garments smell Of the blood of my
kindred"

Were Mr.. Grisweld, the Republi-
can candidate for Governor of this
state, to dismiss from his employ
ment, and deprive of the means of
life and their daily bread, the twelve
or thirteen hundred Irishmen enga-
ged in his works at Troy, because
they were !going to vote for Sey-
mour, his conduct would be justly
denounced as mean and cruel. And
yet Wade Hampton, one of the most
prominent Democratic leaders, pro-
poses to deprive of employment and
their daily bread, all voters of the
laboring classes of the South who
may vote for Gen. Grant. Such
meanness and cruelty on the part
of the capitalists and employers OF
the North, would raise a storm about
their heads.

ces in 1S61-Letter from Sena-

The following letter from Sena-
tor Yates, of Illinois, was written in
reply to one asking for the inform
alton it contains:
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 8.
DEAR SIR: 1 received your favor
of the 9th inst, inquiring whether
the report is true that "Gen. Grant
begged nae for commission in the
army while I was Governor of Il
linois. I answer no. At the com
mencement of the war he came to
nae and modestly offered his services
in whatever capacity he could be
useful. He rendered important aid
in the Governors and Adjutant- gen
erals offices, and places of military
rendezvous in the State. While he
was absent on visit in Kentucky, [
offered him, by telegraph, the ap-
pointment of Colonel of the 21st IL
linois Infantry. He did not ask the
appointment, and I have reason to
believe that he knew nothing of my
intention Of rendering it until he re-
ceived my dispatch, nor did he ex-
pect it. 1 never saw anything in
Gen. Grant before his appointment
nor since that looked like begging
me or any other person for Office.
He has none of the ways of the pro-
fessional Office seeker, and his whole
history shows place seeking him
rather than him seeking place.
When he called upon me he seemed
to feel that he owed to the Govern
ment which had given him military
education the benefit Of that knowl-
edge, and that in the hour of her
peril he should not be choice in the
place assigned him in the service. I
am sure he was moved by the most
unselfish patriotism. Inclosed here
with please find copy of speech
delivered by me, in the Senate, on
the bill to revive the grade of Gen
eral of the Army, which details at
greater length than is suitable to a
short letter, the history of his first
engaging in the military service in
1861, and of his connection with the
raising Of troops in Illinois; also,
my views of the character and SER
vices of the great General, who, at
the head of our brave boys in blue,
crushed the rebellion, crowned our
arms with victory, and saved the life
of the nation. Yours, truly.
