Seymour Opposed to Praying for Our
Armies.

| The Pittsburgh Commercial says
that il was not as a politician solely or
chiefly that HoratiO Seymour acted,
and proved himself in perfect sympa-
thy with the rebels. As a PROFESSOR
oFTHE CHRISTIAN RELIGION AND AN
| ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN AN lMPOR-
TANT RELIGIOUS BODY, HE SHOWED
HIMSELF AT HEART \ TRAITOR-FOR
HE WHO AS \ PROCESSING CHRISTIAN, ,
REFUSES To PRAY FOR HIS COUNTRY,
CAME No PATRIOT AND SHOULD NOT
BE TRUSTED. That Seymour did thus
refuse we will show.
The Triennial Episcopal Conven-
ton in 1862 was held in Trinity Church,
New York City. The eighth day of
October was set tapart for services spec
tally appropriate for the gloomy con-
ditiOn of the country. 1t was n period
of deep distress and pervading ankle
ty; when Christian patriots all over
the land looked to God for strength
and succOr. Patriotic resolutions had
been moved in the Convention by
Murray Hoffman, DIR. NintOn and
others, which DIR. Goodwin supported
in a speech of rare elOquence and un-
common earneStness. When the
question was about to be taken on the
resolution of Judge Carpenter, of New
Jersey, calling on the Bishop for q
form Of prayer in relation to the iCick
edre6eHiOn nOIC preUdiiiRg in the ldRd,
FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR COUNTRY
AND THE SUCCESS OF OUR ARMIES,
HORATIO SEYMOUR TOOK THE
ADOPTION!
1t was then that the cold, polished
traitor exposed himself. He was OPP
posed TO asking Gods blessing on the
LOYAL cause. He desired not Divine
interposition against the rebels. He
was with them, and what prayers he
had to offer would be for their success. |
He said he "1Cds opposed to prOHOURc-
ing an opinion against Our Southern |
brethren. The measure seemed to him |
like the POpe's bull against the comet. |
He begged them to pause before con-
demHjRg the absent, cORdCDlHiRg thou |
sands and hundreds Of thousands Of
brethren, not q man Of JghOHl 1Cds |
thee to speak for himself"
Had HOratiO Seymour openly join |
ed Toombs, or Wade Hampton, or For
rest, or, like them, accepted Gener-
ais commission from JEFF. Davis in |
the Confederate service, he would not
have manifested his opposition to the
Federal cause more absolutely than in
this speech. That which one
desires not to have blessed by Heaven
has nothing but his hate. HOratiO
Seymour, in 1862, was opposed to Of
fering prayers for the success of our
armies and invoking the favor of
Heaven on our distressed country.
Shall he, in 1868, as the candidate of a
great party for the highest honor, re-
,eive the support Of true and loyal
men?

his Historr Is Knonn to AlI.

The Hon. William Whiting, SOlici-
tor of the War Department under
President Lincoln, speaks thus of
Gen. Grant:
We have chosen to lead US on to
victory next November that conf
mander who has so often met the
same enemy before. His history Is
known to all. He is honest, modest.
generous, prompt, decided, firm, per-
sistent, fearless, cautious, silent, sim
cere, and faithful. To what living
man are we under greater obligations
than to General Grant, the hero of a
hundred battles? Suppose that he
had fallen, or suppose that his iron
will had faltered, that his clear and
comprehensive mind, by which he
had controlled the complicated militia
~ operations of two vast armies, had
been Overtasked and had failed, what
would have hefallen our country and
its brave soldiers in the field? What
would have been the fruit of all the
sacrifices of patriotic millions of loyal
men and women?
It is the first dictate of gratitude
that a great and generous people
should pay its highest honor to the
hero who served his country. Gen.
Grant is not merely a soldier He has
great executive ability, and wonderful
sagacity in Judging of men-sO as to
put the right man in the right place.
1t was he who first brought forward
General Sherman and Phil Sheridan,
and most of the brilliant soldiers of the
army. 1t was he who quietly set
aside many of the empty celebrities
who stood between us and our success.
While he was in the War Depart
ment he gave conclusive evidence of
high administrative power He is no
orator, but what he says is to the
point. Not with sounding phrase,
not with vain rhetoric has this stern
warrior sought to captivate the fancy
of admiring friends; but he has
plunged his iron arguments from the
mouths of his cannon into the ranks
of his enemy. One of the proofs of his
real greatness of character is his readi-
ness to appreciate the merits of others
and to confer honor upon those who
rendered valuable service. No jeal-
OUsy, no rivalry, no meanness ever
soiled his noble nature, or prevented
him (as it has prevented others from
making known his obligations To all
who aided him.
Owing his high position to no clique
or politicians, but solely to his own
powers and character, his position is
absolutely independent. Holding al
ready one of the highest offices i'm the
Government, he will not be allured by
visions of fame or glory to swerve
from the path of duty.

Wonderful SfnrE.

A. wonderful story is in circulation
in this town this morning about a
manat Crisfield who has been stricken
down for blasphemy. The story runs
thus: The man I'VE can't learn the
name) ON Sunday last started off very
early to go fishing. His wife per-
suaded him not to go, insisting he
would be violating the laws of God
by so doing. The man remarked that
he could 90 and "catch a mess of fish
before Jesus Christ was awake" and
proceeded to the AnnamessiX river
On arriving at thcshOre he sank down
in the sand up to his neck, where he
still remains, notwithstanding every
effort to eXtricate him by digging
away the sand, This has been done,
and his boots cut to free his feet, but
he still remains there as inextricable
as ever.
Mr.. Wilson, our telegraph agent at
Clayton, sent a telegram last night to
learn the facts in the case, and the
operator at Crisfield replied that they
were as stated above. The greatest
eXciSement is reported to prevail there.
We give the item as furnished us by
the railroad employers here, without
vOuching for it in any way. 1t beats
the ghost stOry.-SBl5y'Rd Times.

Ia Whatever may be thought and
said of the political honesty of the
New York HeraId, it is universally
conceded to have great sagaeity, and
scents the issue of a political fight
from afar. In a recent issue it throws
cold water on the hopes of the already
badly discouraged Democracy in this
wise:
All eyes are turning towards Penn
sylvania. What is the prospect in
Pennsylvania? is the universal ques-
ton among the politicians. Is there
any hope for Seymour in her coming
October election? None, from all the
signs of the times. If, then, on the
18th of October the Republicans in
the State election of Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa carry the
day, what hope will there be for Sey-
mOur in the general national election
of the Sd of November? None in the
world. VIII the Republicans in
October carry the States indicated,
including Pennsylvania? We think
they will, and by handsome majOrities,
from the tone of the Northern pulse,
as indicated in Vermont and Maine.
What then2 Why, then the Prcsi-
Dental election will be reduced to the
mere fOrmality of casting and regis
tering the popular and electoral
majOrities of General Grant.

The Decisions Of the Supreme Cour

. 1Ht DtClSlOnS Ol tHt supreme COurIs
The New York Sun has the follow
ing short but significant article, which
goes to the root of the reconstruction
question
"a Lawyer" wants to know in
what cases the Supreme Court has
made the decision referred to in a re-
cent report of a conversation between
a gentleman of this city and General
Blair.
If "a Lawyer will turn to the
prize cases reported in . Black, he
will find the following principles
laid down by the Court:
''The parties to a civil war in the
same predicament as two nations who
engage ina contest, and have recourse
TO arms.
''The present civil war between the
United States and the sO-called Con-
federate States has such character and
magnitude as to give the United
States the same rights and powers
which they might exercise in the
case of a national or foreign war.
''Now, it is a proposition never
doubted, that the belligerent party
who claims to be sovereign may eXer-
else both belligerent and sovereign
rights"
In 20 Howard, 176, in the cases of
LeitendOrfer and others against
Webb, "a Lawyer" will also discover
the following:
''The executive authority of the
United States properly established a
provisional government lin New
MeXicO), which ordained laws and es-
tablished n judicial system, 'all Of
which continued in force after the
termination of the war, and until
modified by the direct legislation of
Congress"
We trust that this will all prove
satisfactory.

A eOlOred man named Johnson, who
was a drum major during the war,
and who resides in Memphis, was Wis
tied at his residencerecently by a num-
Der of Ku-Kluxers, who conceived
that Johnson had affrOnted a white
man.-They wanted Johnson to apoI-
Ogize. He refused. The Ku-Klux
made their last visit at night, when
Johnson sprang from his bed, beat the
long roll, and in an instant the street
was filed with armed negroes, whose
sudden appearance caused the coward
ly Ku-Klux to run for their lives.
johnson fought like a tiger at AIilh-
ken's Bend, and is determined to hold
his own against the Ku-Klux.

The Copperhead party has formally
and officially committed itself to the
principle of equal taxation of all prop
erty for the support of the government.
The only question now to settle is the
proper rate TO be levied. Leading
Democrats in Congress vepropOsed
t'CO per cent. as the rate of taxation
for bonds. If this figure be adopted
the farmer will be taxed two dollars
per hundred on the cash valuation of
land That is, land worth fifty dollars
per acre will pay a dollar pea. acre of
taxes when the COpperheads come
into power. Some people may like
this mode of raising revenue, but We
suspect that the agricultural class will
demur. They had better do so at the
pOlls.-ChicGgO Tribune.

WHOLE NO. 27I5.
Getting Discouraged.

From the Freedman's Journal for Sept. 2G.
The Democratic party blundered in
making a political issue on Maine
The Republican majority is several
thousand short of what it was two or
four years ago. But it is a sweeping
majority still. Democrats of New
York, &C., ought to have turned up
their noses at Maine, and told it to 90
to the Black Republicans, or to their
master, the DEVIL
But, now, comes the silly work of
accounting for the defeatl "The bond
holders pay big prices for voteslp Of
course they did !! Superintendent of
factories Overawed their working
men," To be sure they did! Demo
erats were not properly organized"
Then they be damned-pOlitieallyL
We decline being bumbugged by
political parties, There are principles
at stake, or nothing is at stake we care
for. A year ago General Grant was a
great favOrite for the Presidency
among Democrats. Mr.. Chief Justice
Chase was their dread. This year
even Mr.. Seymour was the advocate
of the candidacy of Mr.. Chief Justice
Chase, as funny candidate of the
Democrauc party. The idea was not
accepted. Mr.. Seymour himself was
in nomination by the very interest TO
which he had shown himself most bit
terly OppOsed-the party that insist on
paying off the five-twenties, in green
backs. He has accepted the platform,
and must sink or swim with it.
Affairs are very remarkably mixed
up Men may be excused for getting
their heads muddled. We are called
on to support candidate, on national
grounds, that was himself avOwedly
in favor of another candidate, most
antagonistie to all decent and proper
ideas of federal government.
We acknowledge that the affair is
''muddled." Our correspondence is of
a character to excite ouralarm.s There
is no use Of distinguishing the fact
that there is distrust and dissatisfae-
ton among very many Democrats.
