Bag~ Mr.. Mallory, the eX-confederate
Secretary of the Navy, has come out
for Seymour. He came out against
Grant some six years ago. Mr.. Mallory
had the honor TO commission Semmes,
who preyed considerably on the COM
merce of the State to which Mr.. Sey-
mour belongs. All that is needed now
is that those Seutherners who Were en-
gagged in the plots to burn the city of
New York and introduce pestilence
there should give in their adhesion to
Seymour. This would make the circle
of his friends" complete.

had spoken very respectfully of him of

defeats during the war with heroic calm
ness. Mr.. Fessenden, speaking of his
experience in the Treasury Department,
said it was the tlghtest place he ever

promised that the principal OF the bonds
issued while he was Secretary should be
paid in gold, and he pleaded earnestly
for unfolding the national honor. He
closed by eulogizing Gen. Grant as an
