HoRArIO SEYMOUR.

Ex-Governor Seymour's name will un-
doubtedly be presented, but probably
only for a complimentary vote. The
New York delegation viii stand by him
until it becomes certain that another will
be nominated, though it is well known
that he has no desire to be candidate.
Whether nominated or not. and the lat
ter is most likely, Gov, Seymour will en-
ter the canvass as speaker. and do all
in his power for the ticket. With the
highest regard for Gov Seymour as a
gentleman, true Democrat, and pro-
found statesman, / must say that his
nomination, under the present circum-

the party, simply because he lacks GER

Spiritual Worship.

Mr.. Spurgeo d, in recent sermon
upon praising God, delivered himself
OF these sentences:
II have noticed one thing-I have
jotted this down in the diary of my
recolectons-that you always sing
best when you are most spiritual.
Last Monday night the singing was
better than it was on Sabbath eve-
ming. You kept better time and bet
ter tune not because the time was
any easier but because you had come
up TO worship God with more solem-
nifty than usual, and therefore there
was no slovenly singing, such as pains
my ear and heart sometimes. Why,
some Of you care so little to give the
Lord your best music that you fall
full half a note behind the rest 9th,
ers OF you are singing quite false
note, and few make no sound of
any kind. hate to enter place of
worship where half dozen sing to
the praise and glory Of themselves
and the rest stand and listen. like
the good old plan of every body sing
ing singing his best, singing care
fully and heartily. If you cannot
sing artistically never mind. you will
be right enough if you sing from the
heart, and pay attention to it, and do
not drawl out like musical machine
that has been set a-going and there
fore runs on mechanically. With a
little care, the heart brings the art,
and the heart desiring to praise, will
by-and>by train the voice to time
and tune"

Another Traitor Gone.

Howell Cobb, Of Georgia, who died
of apoplexy in New York on the
morning of the 9th, has been prom.
inent figure in the political history
of the country for many years. He
was born in Jefferson county, Geor-
gia, September, 7, 1915, but at the
age of seven years his parents res
moved TO Athens, in the same. State,
which has ever since been his home.
He graduated at Franklin College in
that city, in 1884. was admitted to
the bar in 1886, the next year was
chosen Solicitor. General Of the vest
ern district of his State, was elected
to Congress in 1912 and continued to
hold his seat until 1850. He was
elected Governor of Georgia. After
serving his term of two years he was
again chosen to represent his district
in. Congress. On the accession of
Mr.. Buchanan to the Presidency, he
was offered and accepted the posi-,
ton of Secretary of Treasury. This
Office he held until Georgia passed
the ordinance of secession in Dozens
Der, 1860, when he resigned. Dur
ing the rebellion he was member OF
the rebel provisional congress. and

Or The Decline.

In Columbia, the Copperhead dem
ocracy exhibitsymptoms ofapproach
ing dissolution. The party is unable
to get up a county ticket. Men don't
like the opprobrium of such associa>
tons. They don't like to be public
ly connected with party that oppos
es such a patriot as Gen. Grant, and
supports such a rebel sympathizer as
Horatio Seymour. The democratic
nominee for District Attorney, Mr.. J..
S. Carr, of Portage, gives notice
through the Register that he declines
to be candidate. The democratic
nominee for Clerk of the Court, l.. j.
Lee, Esq, makes similar announce
ment in the Columbus Republican,
In his letter to the editor of the Re-
publican he says: ~ wish to say to
you, and through you to the people
of this county, that l do not train in
that company, and that if | live till the

General Grants Views.

A German traveller recently visited
General Grant at his residence in Gas
lena, and had free conversation with
him, in the course of which General
Grant gave the following views of tho
political situation:
"The Southerners are passionate,
and lose out of sight their own inter-
ests in serving the Northern copper
heads, who will laugh at them when
their aid is no longer required. 1t is
absolutely necessary to give political
passions sufficient time to pass away ;
the young generation comprehends
its duties and interests better. A
new war is impossible, and az to war
of races, | do not believe in it; the
Southern negroes are not so reckless
nor so determined as those in ST. Do
mingo, and if ever the whites should
take the initiative in such q conflict,
the Federal army would soon put a
stop to it. The pacifcation of the
country will come by and by, and
whatever occurs. the North, which
has abolished slavery, decreed the po-
litical, not social, equality of the
blacks and whites, and opened the
South, hitherto closed to emigration,
is always ready to go to war, if un,
fortunately circumstances should de-
mand it. Jealous Of it's work, the
world will never permit it to be i'm
periled by any facetious doings"
The whole interview was related
in letter published in a German
news paper for which it was original
ly written. The writer says that the
General cannot be called man who
conceals his opinions for in familiar
conversation he is ready enough to
express them.
