Standing Proverbs.

A thousand probabilities win not
make one truth. A hand-saw is a good
thing but not To shave with. Gontil-
ity, without ability is worse than beg
gary. A man may talk like wise
man and act like a fool. If we would
succeed IN anything, we must use the
proper means. A liar should have a
good memory. Charity begins at home
but does not end there. An ounce of
mother wit is worth pound of learn
ing. Short reckonings make long
friends. Custom is the plague of wise
men, and tho idol of fools. Every one
knows best where his own shoe pinch
es. A faint heart never won q fair
lady.

Our INDICTMENT OF SEyMoUR-GuN
Conflsyed.-Horatio Seymour stands in
dicted for
/. Inciting to Riot.
2. Yielding to rioters their demands
on the Government, at the peril Of the
Nation.
3. Threatening the President Of the
United States with the disorderly vio-
lence Of the people" il he proceeded
in efforts vitality necessary to the SAL
walton of the Union.
Horatio Seymour is confessedly, there
fore, o fomenter Of sedition, q champion
Of rioters, q menace Of government.
A fomenter Of sedition, In that he told
the turbulent masses Of New York City
that a mob had an equal right with the
Government to proclaim the law a
public necessity.
A champion Of rioters, in that he
espoused their cause, said that they
should be satisfied, and demanded Of
the Government that the draft should be
suspended and stopped, Mt their violent
behest.
A menacer of Government, in that he
warned it Of the " temper of the people"
if it did not yield to him and his riotous
friends.
And all this in criminal disregard OF
the imminent peril in which his country
and its defenders were placed at the
time.
Here are the counts aud the evidence
in this grave indictment. We have
asked the Argus 10 defend Horatio Sey-
mour, and It utterly refuses to do 80.
The plea of guilty is entered. What
friend of order will say that such a man
should be made President Of the United
States ?-ABany Evening Journal.

THE SYRACUSE EXPRESS ~RoBBEGs.-It
will be remembered that in March last
the safe in the American Express Office
in this city was robbed of a package Of
money containing 1912 II. The per-
sons suspected Of having committed the
robbery were John B. Borden, an en-
ploye, and Ira B. Seymour, n former
employe Of the American Express Com
pany. Although prompt efforts were
made on the part of Mr.. Alfred Higgins,
agent Of the American Express Compa-
ny in this city, to secure the arrest Of
the suspected parties, they succeeded in
Guiding the detectives sent after them,
and escaped, as was supposed, to Cali
fornia. Acting under this idea, Mr..
Higgins procured a requisition from
Governor Fenton, which, with complete
descriptions Of Borden and Seymour,
was sent to tho Assistant Surerintend-
ent, c. S. Higgins, at Buffalo, and by
him forwarded to Detective Henry John.
son, San Francisco, Cal. Detective
johnson, after considerable search, ar
rested both of the suspected persons.
They were placed in irons, and deliv-
cred to the baggage master of the
steamer Sacramento, in whose charge
they were brought to the city Of New
York, reaching that place yesterday
morning, and by him turned over to the
c%ompnny's detective, A. X. Littleield,
who brought them to this city, reaching
hcre last evening on the 6:30 train.
Borden and Seymour on their arrival
were taken before Justice Clifford, and,
on being arraigned, pleaded not guilty
to the charge, and were remanded to
the Court House cells until Friday
morning, when they will DO examined

H%IPPorHAGy, or h~orse-eating, is re-
ported by the French journals to have
failed. Beef is still preferred. AL
though the learned eIperimenters have
assembled around perfectly well ap-
pointed tables, and eaten horse steak,
with trufles and horse kidneys, with
champagne dressing, and horse tongues
with tomato sauce-all accompanied
with good wine, and have praised the
excellence of horseiesh, yet the poor
will run the risk Of starving rather than
accept a meal Of horse1esh. In ad-
dition to the natural antipathy to this
kind of food, they very well know that
the horses slaughtered are for the most
part, old, poor, worn out, and not I'M
frequently diseased animals. There
are twenty-five shops in Paris for the
sale of horseiesh, but it is asserted they
do an Insignificant business, and up to
March there had been slaughtered for
food only 3,72s horses, Sc asses and %
mules in Paris, making in all, say 1907
900 pounds Of meat. This, for a popu-
lation of two millions is not very strong
evidence that this article Of diet will
prove acceptable to the palates Of the
Parisians.

ENGLAND prides herself on the prompt
ness with which criminals, no matter
how high their condition may be, are
punished. Sometimes, however, this
headloug speed results in the conviction
Of innocent men. A recent instance OF
this cruel injustice, arising from this
pressure against a prisoner, is men,
toned in the English press. Seventeen
months ago Mr.. Wilkinson, manager Of
o large London Banking Company, was
tried for fraud, and was convicted and
sentenced to Eve years penal servitude.
The evidence that would have cleared
him was excluded, his own mouth was
shut. No stay Of proceedings, nc ap-
peal vas allowed, and his hair was
cropped, and he was hurried off to as
sociate with felons. His wife, children,
friends, and q great number Of the bust
ness men Of London, who had entire
faith in his integrity, appealed in vain
to the Home Secretary. He had proba-
bly, just been censured in the newspa-
pers for some act Of ill.judged lenity.
After nearly a year and q half, by
means Of a civil action against a com.
pany connected with the prosecution, i,
is proven that Mr.. Wilkinson is perfect
iy innocent, and he has received his
pardon from the Queen.

Frnnk BIair,s Revolutionary Lettcr-A
Rebel View Of 10.

The Memphis, (Tenn.) Avalanche
quotes General Frank Blair's letter to
Colonel Broadhead in its issue of the
2lst ult., and says:
"For utteriug similar sentiments to
the above we have been denounced and
called imprudent. Had the above extract
appeared in the Avalanehe as an editori-
al, the political fossils would have
raised their hands in holy horror, and
stigmatized US as q revolutionist. We
would have been tainted with the
WORKOUT, stereotyped complaint that
such %imprudent expressions injured the
Northern Democracy and the Southern
people in the North. But, strange to
say, it was the publication of the letter,
from which We take the above extracts,
that secured Mr.. Blair his nomination
for the Vice Presidency. Thus it will
be seer that the North is far ahead of
the South. They are rife for revolution.
They are determined that all the infa-
nous and unconstitutional legislation
of Radicalism shall be wiped out. The
position which General Blair has taken,
strong as it is, has been echoed by the
Democracy Of the North. This fact
shows an intensity Of feeling against
Radicalism more bitter than that which
exists in the South. In the Senate Of
the United States, u few days since, Mr..
Morton, Of Indiana, held up Mr.. Blair's
letter, and characterized it rs a procla-
nation Of war;"
"In reply, the Northern people In
nounce that the Reconstruction Acts are
illegal, unconstitutional and void; that
they are conceived in iuiquity and
brought forth in sin, and without var
rant Of law; that they do violence to
every vital principle on which our insti-
tutions are founded; that they arc arbi-
trary, unjust and despotic, and that they
| shall be riped out. The soldiers Of the
| North proclaim that they fought to re-
store the Union, but that ten States are
yet out of that Union; that peace has
not been restored, and that tranquility
and fraternity can never exist under tho
| Reconstruction Acts, and that they are
willing to fight for four years longer to
secure a restoration Of the Union. The
| fat has gone forth that the infam Gus
measures which an infamous Congress
has adopted, solely to secure the Radical
party in power, shall be disregarded,
declared unconstitutional, imperative
and void, and the people restored to
those rights and liberties Of which they
have been robbed. The people Of the
North begin to learn that there is no ap-
peasing Radicalism. We hope the po-
litical fossils will survive a perusal OF
Mr.. Blair's bold position, and in order
to prevent their lavishing their usual
~censure upon the .Araianche, we wish
them to distinctly understand that the
above extract is not editorial, but the
sentiments of the Democracy of the
nation"

PRAyER-AN IScrDENr.-For fourteen
years q father and mother prayed for a
Maynard boy. During this period they
many times fixed q date inside Of which
they expected his conversion. One after
another Of these times passed away,
until fourteen years had gone. The
father was going out one morning, when
his good wife laid her hand upon his
arm and said, Father, have you for
gotten prayers2" "No," was the
husky reply, haven't forgotten, but
it's no use. God does not hear u.s."
The wife's eyes were full of tears /:
" Well, let us pray that God will make
us more earnest, and then, perhaps, he
will answer onr prayer" He went out
to the barn, and then his wife's words,
his overburdened heart, and the habit
of years led him to fall upon his knees
and pray for more earnestness, and to
again bescech God to convert his boy.
His boy heard the prayer, and wishing
to get away so that he might not hear
more, vent to the house. Going past
his mothers room, he heard her yoicr
raised In prayer for more earnestness,

and kneeling down by her, and putting
his arm around her neck, said, "Moth.

Efforts to Stop the shipment Of Diseased
Cattle-Genernl Bufler ON the stump.
From Gcorgln-Eliglblllty Of COlored Men
TO Hold ONCE.

ATLANTA, Ga, July 25.-ln the
Senate, to-day, Mr.. Camden offered the
following:
WHEREAS, Ex-Governor Brown, one
of the ablest lawyers in the Republican
party in Georgia, rs we'll as other per-
o n distinguished for their knowledge
of constitutional law, held during the
late election canvass that persons OF
color were not entitled to hold Office
under the existing Constitution and,
WHEREAS, Such persons hold seats as
Senators on this floor ; and,
WHEREAS, Laws Of vital importance
to the people Of Georgia are to be en-
acted by the General Assembly, the va
lidity Of which should not be made I'M
certain, because Of the participation in
enactment by persons not entitled under
the Constitution to participate; there
fore,
Resolved, That the Committee on
Privileges and Elections be directed to
inquire into the eligibility of the several
persons Of color holding seats rs Sem
ators, and report at the earliest day
practicable.
Mr.. Hungerford (Radical) said there
IS n higher opinion than Governor
Browns. A United States Senator has
settled it, who holds n higher Office than
Governor Brown has yet held. mean
Mr.. Sumner, who, in n letter, says:
" There is no reason why colored per-
sons shall not hold office or anything
else. Any one can under the Consti-
tuition of the United States" The pas
sage Of the Fourteenth Article settles
that question forever in Georgia. The
Constitution Of this State proclaims all
persons born here or naturalized, who
reside here, are citizens Of the State,
and no law "a be made to abridge their
privileges.
The resolution was defeated.
