MIR. SEYMOUR CoNFIDNETy OF HIS Own
ELEcT1oN.--I can communicate to your
readers the gratifying intelligence that on
Wednesday last, Gov. Seymour, in q con-
versation held OF Utica with member of
the State Committee, expressed his entire
confidence in the coming success of the
Democratic ticket. The Governor feels
assured that he is to be the next President
OF the United States, all the evidence in
regard to the progress of the canvass
throughout the whole country now point
ing in that direction. He acknowledged
that at first there were not visible these
evidence of success. 1t took some weeks
after the nominations had been made for
some sections of the country to reconcile
themselves to his (Seymour'sl position on
the finances, but now all is working admir-
ably, and by the day almost the strength
of the ticket is increasing. In one word,
Mr.. Seymour is convinced that the De-
mocracy will succeed. He does not at
tribute this to his own personal popularity,
but to the almost universal desire for a
change of party to administer the affairs Of
the Government. / am personally acquain-
ted with the gentleman who had the above
conversation with Governor Seymour, and
he informs me that he has known the Gov
ernor for the last thirty years, and always
found him correct in his prophecies in re-
gard to election matters, not only where
they related to his (Seymour's) own chances
in this State, but also to national cleo

GAs.-Although an act of habeas corpus
has been applied for in the United States
Court of Florida for the release from mill
tary Imprisonment of Mudd, Spangler and
Arnold, the assassination conspirutors,
there has really nothing been accomplished
to that end. The Judge has, SO far, taken
no steps in the matter; at least, the acting
Attorney General is not informed Of any
action ofthe Judge aud until the writs are
granted, there can be no importance at
tached to the proceeding. Should the Pc
tition be granted, and the writs issued,
they will be served on the officer command
ing the military post of Dry Tortugas, who
cannot Of course, resist their execution. II
the case comes to trial, the point at issue
will he the constitutionality of military tri-
bunals for the trial of capital business and
the validity Of their sentences. The Uni
ted States Marshal has telegraphed to the
Attorney General for instructions, but that
officer, in the present state of the case, has
nothing whatever to do with it. The tele-
gram was, however, forwarded to Mr..
Evarts, at his home in Windsor, VT, but
no reply has yet been received. The At
tOrney General is not expected to return
for several days, and Assistant Attorney
Gen. Ashton Is performing the duties Of
the Office. The Office, however, is in con.

ONE REcRuIr.-Several newspapers, here
tofore Radical in politics, have hoistei
the names Of Seymour and Blair. The
last two reported are the Ulster Democrat
published at Kingston, New York, and
the Pittsburgh Republic, the organ of the
workingmen.
On the contrary, we hear of no instance
when reliable Democratic paper has en-.
dorsed the Black Republican platform
The Dispatch of this city, rejoices over the
fact that the Mohonoy Gazette, q small
weekly published in schuylkill country,
has hoisted the names of Grant and Col
fax. The Mahanony Gazette, while pre-
tending to be neutral, has always been q
Black Republican pape-owned by Radi-
Gals, controlled by Radicals, and edited
and published by graduates of the Miners
Journal office, the blacklist of ultra Black
Republican sheets. Our able contempora-
ry the Pottsville Standard, has frequently
had occasion to animadvert upon its politi-
cal attacks under cover of"neutrality."
And this is "the only recruit. of the
Radical press, though perhaps they may
be able to buy q few more occasionally.

Facts for the People.

Take away two staples Of defamation an,
falsehood from the canvass of the Radicals
and but little would be left. Here ar
some new facts in proof of this list, Gov
Warmoth, of Louisiana, in his campaign
clared that 80 murders, all of Union men
had occurred within o month and half, il
four parishes of the State, but it SO hap
pens that there are several Bureau agent
in these parishes, who made their regula
returns for the term specified in his letter
aud the sum total of all, Democrats an,
Radicals, white and black, murdered i
just IA or l36 less than the number Ger
tilted to all over the North and West b.

number of physicians and the relatives
and friends of the unfortunate subject of
this investigation, give the following tcs-
timony; The infant J. Myrtle COrban. has
organs of generation, with two external
openings of the urethra and two external
openings of tho double rectum. Tho ex-
ternal genitonrinary organs are as distinct
as 1t they belonged to separate human be-

(most generally simultaneously, particn-
larry the urine) from both external uriana-
ry and intestinal openings, situated res
pectively between the left and right pairs
of legs. IE Er
The head and trunk are those of living
well developed, healthy, active infant Of
about five weeks, whilst the lower portion
OF the body is divided into the members of
two distinct individuals, near the junction
of the spinal column with the os sacrum.
As far as our examination could be prose-
cnted in the living child we are led to the
belief that the portion of the spinal COL

two pelvic arches supporting the four
