Insisting on Seymour's nomination, MIR.
Seymour approached the stand to again de-
cline, and, as he said, to nominate Chase,
according 10 agreement One of his parti
cular friends stopped him, having ascer-
wined what he intended to do, and said {:
II You do il you are forever politically
damned Mr.. Seymour then retired from
the hail."
The dispatch adds:
MIR. Seymour said to me last night at the
Manhattan Club that he was sincere in his
deSife not to be the nominee, but that now,
accepting the position and all its RESPONSE
p'iIues, he would enter the contest with all

MEacY At LAsT-A MOTHERS LOVE FOR
HER SoN.--Governor Merrill on Monday
pardoned Mrs. Catharine Macardle, the old
lady who has been in the State penitentiary
for four years. This old woman, full
Of maternal devotion, heroically sacrificed
herself to save her son from the gallows.
The son had killed his father. and the
mother, to avert the doom from her off
spring, claimed and confessed that it was
she who had committed the murder, and on
her own confession was condemned to be
hung. Governor Stone committed her SEN
tence to Imprisonment for life. The poor
woman, after one or two attempts to COM
NIT suicide in the Jackson county jail,
was finally sent to the penitentiary, and in
the gloomy clasp of that prison she has
been for four years, waiting and praying
for death. When we visited the peniten-
tiary last fall she was shriyelled in body,
and nearly so in mind. For four years she
had received no word or tidings from her
friends. Sixty-fve years old, with her right
arm palsied and helpless, abandoned by
all of her blood, a victim to heroic motherly
devotion, and with the light of earth, and
seemingly that of Heaven, shut from her,
she was truly as sad On object as ever trod
the wine-press of woe. Many persons have
interested themselves in her behalf; and at
last, through the kindness and conside-
rateness of our noble Governor, the disgrace
full chains are stricken from her aged
limbs, and she is once more free, but we
fear not happy.-Des Moines (Iol1a) State
Register, June Is.

HEALTH OF THE EX-EMPREss OF MEXICO
HER FORTUNE AND INCoNE.-The Paris
Debats of June 2 gives some details rela-
tive to the situation, mental and bodily, of
the ex-Empress Carlotta, Of Mexico, then
in Paris. 1t says:
"The state Of the Princess is still most
painful one, although it has certainly i'm
proved. Her reason continues to be deeply
affected, and if hopes are still entertain
ed of her complete recovery, no one can
foresee the period at which it may take
place. The intellect alone suffers, and that
even not continuously. On the contrary,
the Empress frequently seems to have re-
covered all her faculties. At these times
she speaks, reads, writes, plays, as in the
best periods of her life. Always melan-
choly, however, and taking delight in revert
ing to the past, and in calling back her
"reminiscences Of Mexico and Italy. Those
about her at such times see that she is per-
fectly conscious of her deplorab.e history ;
that she is not ignorant of any of the
gloomy incidents which carried her hus-
band off from her, and that she clearly IN
derstands her great misfortune.
awe may say that in all other respects
her health has become excellent since her
return to Laeken, where she resides IN the
almost constant companlonshlp OF King
Leopold, her brother, and of Queen Marie.
The chateau is d spacious and magnificent
residence, surrounded by fine gardens, and
where everything is contributed to calm her
Majestys grief. She lives there in the
midst of the memories Of her childhood
and early youth, and every step she takes
and every subject she touches reminds her
Of her father and mother, and of the care
and tenderness which they bestowed upon
her. The effect Of these salutary impress
sions is augmented by the incessant atten-
tons of the King and Queen. The specta-
ole is an admirable and touching one of
this royal family so united and subjected to
such cruel trials. The Empress Carlotta
has recently given two strong proofs that
she is conscious Of her misfortunes.
Learning that the city Of Trieste was
about to erect O monument to the memory
of the Emperor Macmillan, and that the
Emperor of Austria and the King of the
Belgians had each given ten thousand
forms, she also contributed similar
amount; and on the late anniversary OF
her husbands death she sent to Vienna, to
be placed upon his tomb, there to remain in
perpetuity, funeral crown in gold, first
watering it with tear of unaffected grief.
"The fortune Of the Empress Carlotta
has often been spoken Of. Everything con-
corning this subject has been settled by ar
rangements agreed to between King Leo
pold and the Count de Flandre on behalf OF
their sister and the Emperor of Austria,
heir and representative Of his brother
Macmillan. In the name of the Empress
all stipulations in the marriage contract
advantageous to her have been renounced,
and also every right which she might have
claimed over the property Of her husband:
Her marriage portion alone remains, and
perhaps share in the Inheritance Of the
King, her father, who died at Laeken on
the 10th December, 1868"

Brigham Young has pronounced fune-
raj Grafton over the remains Of Heber G.
Kimball which was quite as significant in
its way as Marc Antony's remarks over the
corpse Of Caesar. 1t was matter OF great
joy to Brigham that while his predecessor
brother Joseph) had lost three OF his
counsel by apostacy he had never been
under the necessity Of mourning and Ia
menting over the apostacy Of any one of
his counsellors, and, added Brigham, " l
hope 1 never shall" This hope was sup
plemented by faith, significant, If not
sublime, in the further declaration, Il had
rather bury them by the score than see one
of them apostatize." This hint at posi-
bic funeral il the event Of apostacy will
not be lost upon Brigham's brethren.-Ne10

LORD BRouGHIA's HOUSE AT CANNHs.-
This house, SO we'll known to visitors in the
south of France, has been sold to Count Won
Bismarck. General Bulow lately visited
Cannes in order to sec if he could obtain
the residence in question for the Prussian
Premier, though scarcely hoping to obtain
it. Mr.. Morton, who is acting for the pre-
sent Lord, sent to London for instructions,
and received telegram the same evening
"Until now the Chateau Eleonore has not
been to let, but We can refuse nothing to
Count Won Bulow OF Count Won Bismarck. :"
The affair is now concluded, and the resi-
dence Of the illustrious Englishman is to
become that Of the still more illustrious
German.

TIE TIDE TURNING.-We learn that there
is quite rejection in the political senti-
ments of the negroes Of Amherst county.
A well-informed and observant gentleman,
resident in the county, informs us that many
Of them announce their purpose of voting
against the Constitution, and are using their
influence to prevail upon other negroes to
do so. He says, however, that the leaders
of the League have induced the more igno-
rant of the negroes to believe that they will
be severely punished if they do not vote
for the Constitution. Many of them think
they will be hanged unless they support the
Radical ticket, and the Conservatives con-
sequently meet with no little difficulty in
their efforts to make proselytes among them.

General Francis P. Blair, the Democratic
candidate for the Vice-Presidency, was born
in Lexington, KY, February 10, 1921. He
graduated at Princeton College, New Jer-
sey, and is lawyer by profession. He was
three times elected to Congress from the st.
Louis district-in 1856, 1860, and 1862. AT
the outbreak of the late civil convulsion ne
was the first man to make effective resist
ance to the supposed disunion designs OF
Governor jackson in the State Of Missouri.
He commanded the First Missouri regiment
in the first campaign in that State, and was
at its head in the battle of Wilson's Greek,
where General Lyon fell. Subsequently he
was made brigadier and major-general,
commanding in the Army Of Tennessee
under Sherman, and Grant in the Vicks-
burg campaign. During Sherman's march
in 1864 he commanded the Seventeenth
army corps.

MURDER OF COLONEL H. W. AsHBY.-The
Lynchburg Republican Of Saturday has the
following sad piece of news:
"By private telegram received in this
city on yesterday evening from Knoxville,
Tenn, by Captain Thomas O'Connor, we
learn that the gallant Colonel Henry W..
Ashby was shot and instantly killed at 6
P. NJ. on yesterday by one Camp, said to
be an unmitigated carpet-bagger and an
attache of the Knoxville Wing. We have
none of the particulars Of this sad event.
Camp was OF once arrested and confined.
1t was but very few weeks ago that Colo
mel Ashby was acquitted on trial for trea,
son. A noble son of Virginia by birth, and
Tennessee by adoption, his life has doubt
less been paid as the forfeit for his devo-
ton to the cause Of the South. Such ira
gedies as this are the natural results of the
deviiish teachings of Brownlow and his
minions. ~

have been most intense"
