Tho grssnbacks arc "obligstions Of the Gov
srnment" which edo not expressly state upon
their fAos," nor does the law under which they
were issued provide that they shall Be paid In
coin." According to the Democratic platform,
therefore, they ought to be paid In greenbscks.

Mr.. Seymour's near friends have repeatedly
been assured by him, when, In former years his
name was mentioned for the Presidency, that It
was impossible for him to entertain the thought.
The reason given BY him, when reason vssde-
manded, was that his family were affictod with
an hereditary insanity. which threatens him
also; and which he can only hope To escape BY
avoiding excitement and severe labor.
Mr.. Horatio seymour's high-sounding decls-
ration, in his recent New York speech, that
$500, 900 900 had been expended for the army
and navy since the close Of the war, 10 collapsed
BY the authoritative statement Of Mr.. Blaine,
on the floor Of the House, "that s626, 900 900
Of this amount had been expended Immediately
sfter Les surrender, In mastering out million
soldiers and nfsy thousand ailou. dischsrging

Seymour gained tho democratic nomination BY

ing Il.
weare panied to announce, upon the authority
Of Gov. Seymour himself, that he declines tho
nomination for the Presidency rendered him BY
the Democratic Cow ention. Gov. 8. stated, 70
long ago rs last Thursday, "that he COULD Sor
be the candidate Of the Democratic party" He
spoke with the air Of man whose mind Is made
up, and whose resolution Is not To be disturbed.
II any person, therefore, goes about assuming to
be Horatio Seymour, making speeches and be-
having himself like candidate, We beg the pub
lic not be deceived. II must be some impostor,
figuring under On alias. The real, genuine
Horatio has distinctly declared that DO "csnnot
be o candidate" Let the public beware Of pro
tenders!-.NsW York Tribune.
