New YORK, August Z

The testimonial, ordered by our Co
vernment for presentation to George
Peabody. is on exhibition in this city.
IT is in the form of a symbolical mon
nment, with an ebony pedestal three
inches wide, eight inches long, two
and a half inches high, on which rises
a purple velvet block two and a half
high and the same in length, on this
rises a massive gold plinth, resting on
the centre of which is an upright me-
daI. the disk Of which presents an ex-
ceTIent medal profile of Mr.. Peabody.
ON the diverse disk is the following in
scription, beautifully cut:
"The people Of the United States to
George Peabody, in acknowledgment
of his beneficial promotion of univer-
sal education"
On the right hand of the medallion
likeness. rises a female statue repre-
senting benevolence holding a laurel
bouph. on the left are two nude fig
ures of children, white and black.
The white child points proudly to the
medallion face, while the black point
ing to himself appears to look as if he
too was to be benefited. Behind
this group rises a three-trunked Pal
metto tree, beneath the diverse disk is
a collection of the symbols of educa-
ton; in the centre is a mounted geo
graphical globe which revolves at the
touch: below this are railroad maps
of the United States bibles andschooI
hooks at the right and left ends.

SeXmour,s Popularity.

Those who have an idea that Sey-
mOur is immensely popular in New
York, and can carry that State when
no other democrat would have the
ghost of a chance, will do well to con-
slider the following facts:
"In 1850 Seymour was defeated for
Governor, and received 314, 352 votes
Church, on the same ticket for Lieu
tenant Governor, received BIS, COS
votes Church over Seymour, 1861.
"In 1852 Seymour was elected Gov
ernor, and received 264, III Church,
elected on the same ticket, received
266, 147; Church over Seymour, POPS.
''In 1854 Seymour commanded but
1876, 495 out of nearly 300, 000democratic
votes in the State, and his popularity,
great as it was on account of his veto
ing the Main liquor law, could not Sc
cure his reelection, and he was de-
feated by Clark, the fusion candidate,
by a few votes.
:" In 1862 Seymour was elected Gov
ernor by a vote of SOC, $40; Jones, on
the same ticket for Lieutenant Cover
nor. was elected by q vote of BOG, 705,
and Skinner, Canal Commissioner, by
3O7, 3I6. Jones over Seymour, Sc

A New Mulch for the Grape.

find Ieached ashes and cut (green)
grass the best mulch I can use. The
ashes gather moisture, and repel heat
Cby their color. Grapevines that
were mulched at the commencement
of the drouth are doing finely. The
moisture extends not only to the sur
face, but into the grass (mulch). This
has been moist since it has been ap-
piled, some three weeks. 1t is partly
rotten, so that the ground derives nu-
triment from it. A shOwernOW would
aid this effectually. Thus the mulch
is both protective and ~enriching, and
the nutrimentOfa kind that is wanted,
the vegetable or carbOnaceOus. A
good mulch in the summer, and coat
in the fall of this kind, is all 1 want on
fair or even moderately poor soil, pro-
viding always the soil is in a healthy,
friable condition. / also want clay to
a considerable extent. Then close
pinching in the start, with plenty of
room on the t%rellis, and if the year is
not a bad GEOGRAPHICALLY a wet n
Il should have fruit. A drOuth, like
the present, with heat uneXampled,
seems a benefit rather than a hurt.
And should've wetsetin, here is extent
on the trellis that gives plenty of air
and takes what sun there is. l thus
am defying the drOUth, and fear little
more the wet season.. But for a drOuth,
cut a and leached ashes are a reli-
ance that it does you good to cOntem-
plate. The ashes also are q benefit,
manurially it requires but a thin coat,
so as to cover well the grass.
1t is time yet to benefit vines by the
application. First, mellow the soil
spread the grass several inches thick
sprinkle with water, and apply the
ashes. Weeds or garden refuse, are a
good substitute for grass. +. G.

ACopperhead Lie.

General Howard is a soldier and a
Christian, whose word was neverques-
toned. Seeing it asserted in a speech
by the Hon. B. NJ. Boyer, of Pennsyl-
vania, that he (Howard) had estimated
the cost of the Freedmen's Bureau for
one year at 81, 684, $50, he felt con-
strained to rebuke the lie. Not only
had he made no such statement, but
the total disbursement of that bureau,
up to the first day Of this year,
were less than six millions of dollars
and the entire expense, including med
ical and cOmmissary stores, andthe pay
of army officers detailed to serve in the
field, fall considerably below ten mill
IionsOf dollars. "And, (adds General
Howard a large part of these expen-
ditures were for the benefit of South
ern whites, reduced to poverty by the
rebellion"
When shall we see these facts and
figures going the rounds of the Copper
head iOurnals.-NeD York Tribune.

THE Rochester Democrat, says
"HoratiO Seymour, a few minutes be-
fore he was nominated as the Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency,
declared that he could not and would
not accept the nomination, if rendered
him. He has accepted it. He said
that he could not accept the nomina-
ton without placing himself and the
Democratic party in a false position
He has done so. He said his honor
was pledged not to receive the nOmi-
nation, and upon a question of honor
he must stand upon his own cOnvic-
tiOns against the world He has
accepted the nomination by that con-
ventiOn. He has accepted it. He
said that if he became the Democratic
candidate for Presidency, he should
feel a dishonOred man. He accepts
the situation. Horatio Seymour
stands before the people of the United
States, to day, by his own repeated
confession, pledge-breaker and dis.
hOnored man.

Quincy, Ill, July 9th, 1868.

THE Richmond Examiner, speaking
of 1.-THE courage required by the can
vass," assails the apologetic tone in
whichsthe leading organs of the party
andits prominent members in Cong
ress discuss the issues raised by the
New York Convention. Already says
the Examiner I'VE are not without
indications that some of the recognized
leaders OF the party are terrified at the
sound OF their own bugle blast" Re
ferring more particularly to speeches
in the Senate it remarks: "If this is
the mode in which the platform is to
be vindicated and defended, it would
be better to hold another Convention
and call it in. Better strike a flag than
defend it in such fashion. And if this
is the kind Of battle which the Dem
Ocratic champions r to lead, they
might as well abandon the field, for
they are whipped already. The South
at least, mean something when they
protest against negro supremacy re-
construction as intolerable, and as
eternal war and not peace"

The Young

Considerable surprise is manifested
by the old wheel-hOrses of Democracy,
that General Blair should go as far in
advance OfSeymour in firing the Dem
Ocratic heart. In Missouri, the Demo-
Gratis who denounced him, hurled stale
hen-fruit at him, and threatened to
tar and feather him, as he made eman-
cipation speeches here in 1858 and $50,
fairly open their antique visuals with
amazement to hear the old gospel Of
peace fall, in all its pristine purity,
from Franks lips.
IT'S true that Blair now excels We
all, o men of the faith Once fought for
by the saints; but it is your duty to
stop gaping with verdant wonder, and
diligently strive to grow in grace. st.
Paul, theyOung convert, was ten times
more Jealous, and fifty times more toll
Grant than the gentle John, like all
young converts, shoots far ahead Of
the old saints.-Sf. Joe Herald.

A recipe for purifying a room is thus
given: Set a pitcher of water in a
room, and in a few hours it will have
absorbed adj the respired gas in the
room, the air of which will have be-
come purer, but the water utterly fl
thy. The colder the water is the
greater capacity to contain these gases.
At ordinary temperatures a pail of
water will contain a pint of carbonic
acid gas, and several pints of ammo
mia. The capacity is nearly doubled
by reducing the water toa temperature
Office. Hence, water kept in the room
awhile is always unfit for use. For
the same reason, the water from a
pump should always be pumped out
in the morning, before any Of it is
used. Impure water is more injurious
than impure air.

THE issue YOU say, upon which
the contest turns. is clear, and cannot
be distorted by the sophistries of our
a~dversaries. They all resolve them
selves INTO the old and ever recurring
struggle of q few men TO absorb the
political power Of the nation. This
effort, under every conceivable name
and disguise, has always characterized
the opponents of the Democratic
party.N
Thus you affirm that the issue upon
which the present contest turns is the
Old and eVer recurring n of a few
men to absorb the political power of
the nation; and you add, "this effort
under every conceivable name and
disguise, has 0IeV0ys characterized the
Opp0neRts Of the Democratic pGrty.V
To transpose your language it means
this that the Democratic party has
always opposed the wicked schemes
of q few men to absorb the political
power of the nation. How long you
have been in finding this out The
lateness of the discovery is either dis
creditable to your intelligence or your
honesty. You al hang on whatever
horn Of the dilema you please.
1T the opponents OF the Democratlc
party have always been wrong, as you
now allege, and the Democratic party
has always been right, why have you
alwaysa acted on the wrongside? Why
has your whole life been spent in de-
nouncing the Democratic party?
Why did you and the "Blair family"
enter into the Van Buren, movement
of 1S48, and assist in defeating Gen
Cass, the regular nominee of that
party? Why did yoU1in your speech
at Lafayette, Indiana, in 1850, de-
nounce the Democrats as the most
miserable party thate ever had existed"
and Douglas as the "most pernicious
demagogue in the United States ?''
Why did you do the same thing in
this city, and in every other place
where you spoke? Why did you re-
commend Helpers Impending
Crisis a work which was generally
condemned In the North. and which
spread terror and CONSERVATION in the
South? Why were you SO long and
apparently so earnestly engaged in
oV~erthroWing the slave power of the
country and liber6ting the negro?
If what you now say of his barbarism
is true, your efforts heretofore III his
behalf are frauds and lies. Your pur-
pose, General, is too plain to deceive
any one. You desire to re-establish
the slave power of the country, and to
lay the North at its feet. If this can
be done ~peaceably, which you say you
do not believe, well. II il requires a
revolution to affect it, you say let the
revolution come. When it does come,
you viii be the Robspierre of it. Alas,
for your ambition, it has o'leaped it
self.

Death OF General HaIplne.

WC4GA u WCAACIME
The sudden death Of General G. G..
Halpine miles OiReilly) will occasion
sincere and profound grief in every
part of the land. A gallant soldier, an
accomplished gentleman, a man of
warm and genial nature, he had made
hosts of friends by personal inter-
course; but he was far more widely
known by his writings, under theROn9
de plume of " Private Miles O'ReilIy, +"
and as editor Of the New York Citizen.
Some of his poems WILDE remembered
and quoted as long as the memory Of
the war fingers. General Halpine was
elected City Register Of New York By
the Democrats, and was a man Oflarge
influence among them. The Citizen
was a Democratic paper, but was edi-
ted with good sense and moderation,
and gave no sympathy to the dislOyal
element which controls that party.
We printed lately its sharp comments
upon the ticket and platform set up by
the New York Convention, which
showed that the Citizen and the War
Democrats, for whom it spoke, would
be likely to give to Seymour anything
but a hearty support, and while the
paper nOminally sustained the party,
it is probable that the private infiu-
ence of General Halpine would have
been not at all 10 the advantage of the
ticket. AS a writer, a soldier and q
gentleman, his death will be greatly
regretted.

When Vallandigham was arrested
for treason, Seymour wrote:
eff this proceeding is approved by

will not only lead to military despot-
ism-itestablishes military despOtism.
If it is upheld, our liberties are over
thrown. The safety Of u persons,
the security of our property, viii
hereafter depend upon the arbitrary
wills of such military rulers as may
be placed over us, while III eOnstitu-
tfonal guarantees will be broken
down."
Vallandigham, the traitor, repaid
that letter of SeymOur's by proposing
him as the Democratic nominee for

The Buffalo Commercial, speaking
of HOratiO Seymour, says: The late
Dean Richmond, the Warwick of the
Democracy in this State, thoroughly
disliked him, couldn't speak of him
without evincing a sturdy disgust for
the tWO-faeed demagOgUe. He's a
humbug, boys, a id hUmbug,' the
the Dean was wont to say, when talk
ing with those who possessed his con-
fdenee. Don't bet your money on
him, boys, says Richmond, to his Cen
trail Railroad army, in the campaign
four years ago, in which Seymour was
defeated and run largely behind his
ticket.
