Who made the Nominations ?

In order to produce dissatisfaction among
the Democrats of the West, the Herald,
Times, and Tribune, Of New York, and
many other Radical papers, are striving to
make it appear that Tammany Hall con-
trolled the Democratic National Convention
and worked the wires SO as to secure the
nomination of HoRATIo SEYMOUR. Nothing
could be further from the truth. The fact ID
precisely the reverse. Tammany Hall and
the New York politicians were outwitted.
The World speaks the truth when it says
that "the nomination of Governor SEY-
"MouR was in fact fairly forced upon New
"York and upon Governor SEYMOUR HIM
self by the 'PENDLEToN men, of the
Ohio delegation"
The Commercial Advertiser, one of the
shrewdest newspapers in the country, un-
derstood the real workings of the Conven-
ton. 1t says:
"WuosE GAME WAS IT THE Herald is
mistaken as to whose game has been played
and won. It was Pendleton's, not Sey-
morris. It is true Pendleton did not sue
coed in obtaining the nomination for HIM
self but in all else he was absolutely the
dictator Of the movements OF the ConVen-
ton.
"The South was victorious in the selec-
tion of candidates. The northern rank and
file Of the party were extremely deslrous
for the nomination Of Chase, and many OF
the northern delegates shared in this desire,
prompted though it was by fear, But the
southern wing of the party again asserted
it's supremacy, and under the skilful man
apement of the Pendleton-V allandigham
manipulators, they foored Chase, Hen
bricks, and Hancock, and placed Horatio
Seymour upon the PLATFORM
The New York San, edited by leading
Radical writer, says:
owe have no doubt that he [Seymour]
was perfectly sincere in declining it, and
that he really did not wish for it. The idea
that both he and his friends of the New
York delegation were guilty of duplicity
and trickery is as absurd as it is unjust.
Governor Seymour was nominated, not pc
cause he and his colleagues played deep
game for the nomination, but because II had
become plain that there was no other man
in the party who could so appropriately Us
himself be selected as the standard-oearer
of the Democracy"
This is the truth. There was no trickery
about it. The New York Citizen says:
"We say emphatically that Chase's re-
lection by the late Convention was not
thing of sound or calm judgment, but was
thing of strategy, organized and carried
out by men personally devoted to the for
tunes of Mr.. Pendleton, Of Ohio, and there
fore resolved to kill Mr.. Chase, who hailed
from the same State, and whose nomination
would therefore kill Mr.. Pendleton's chances
for the next eight or twelve years, under
Democratic ruling"
The Citizen is not mistaken as to the fact
that Tammany Hall had nothing to do with
the nomination. The Herald's story is alb
surd. 1t is sort Of metropolitan brag
game. The simpletons who write for the
New York papers did not understand what
they saw; and SO, cockney-like, they as
sumo that New Workers controlled the Con-
yention. They are verdant indeed.

The Registry-and Election.

Congress has ordered the people Of VIZ"
ginia TO go through the forms OF an election
at an early day. Before that time the
books for registration of voters not hereto
fore registered will be opened. Over .niS
matter the present commander OF TINS o''-
trict, General SroSEAAN, will have com
pletc authority. For many reasons there
is much confidence placed in the General
by the people Of Virginia. he is consi-
dered gentleman and fair-minded man.
From him the people hope for just and
fair conduct Of both registering and voting.
They know that they cannot avoid the hu-
initiating forms imposed upon them by an
unfeeling and selfish Congress; and they
know, further, that they cannot, in their
condition, demand anything; for demand
is presumed to be backed by force. They
can, nevertheless, ask for fair-dealing, and
do entertain the expectation, based on very
good grounds, that what is to be done WILL
as far as the commanding General can con-
troll it, be done fairly.
The new mode of voting by ballot 10 re-
pucnant to US all. We know how FRAUDS
may be practised through it; and since the
ballot-boxes are supposed to be nearly all
in the custody of persons who sustain the
party opposed to us, we may very reason
ably apprehend foul-play unless the very
best precautions are taken to prevent fraud
We are sure General SToNEMAN's atten-
ton is already directed to these important
subjects; and we trust he may succeed IN
preventing any ir7egularity or unfairness
that may tend to stifle the voice OF VIZ
rinia.

I'VE discredit these statements.

Chief Justice Chase declared five weeks
ago to your correspondent that he did not
desire the nomination, and deemed 1t an
unfortunate affair to have his name men
toned in connection with the Presidency
in view of the great questions being pre-
scented to the Supreme Court for adjustment
and decision. He remarked further, that
he would not be our candidate or take any
part in politics, as his judicial position
sealed his lips on the most important ques-
tons of the day, and that his great regret
was that he ever allowed his name to be
used in connection with that Office after
taking his seat as Chief Justice: Such
were the privately expressed views OF
Judge Chase. He now declares his recog-
milton in the Democratic nominee as a
patriot and statesman worthy to be the
standard bearer OF that great party, OF
which he considers himself fully identified

The Ne,o Yankee Doodle. Being on Account
of the Little Difficulty in the Family Of
Uncle Sam. BY TRUMAN TRUMBULL, A
Nj. New York: WM. OULAND BOURNE
We are indebted to the publisher for 9
copy of this book of doggerel verses
chanting the praises Of the Fedora,
armies in the late wsr. IF the memory
of their achievements pass away as soon as
this book, then these will have short-lived
existence. The author would much bet
ter have painted picture and induced the
Radical Congress to allow him to place ii
in the rotunda of the capitol; his name
could then have lived az long as the poor
painter whose "shin-piece" of the Decla
ration scene will hand down his fame as s
bad painter as long as canvass and colort
last, or as long as Congress allows it to re-
main where it is. If the sectional ami
mosities of the nation only die as soon a;
TRUMBuLL's doggerel, that will be o national
blessing indeed.

"The Hour OF Death "A scfenfihc
Investigations.

In Mr.. John limbs "Notable Things of
Our Own Time" ore some accounts of the
curiosities of scientific investigation among
them the following concerning the hour OF
death:
The subject of tie hour Of death (says
q Mr.. Hagiland, an eminent surgeon
in a paper read to the British Assocla-
ton has occupied the attention OF medl-
cal writer's from the time OF Aetlus-Wno
fourished at the court of Constantinople IN
the fifth century-up to the present date,
but no practical fruit has been the result
for the physician in his treatment OF
disease, He concluded that the time had
now arrived for thorough investigation OF
the facts in our possession, inasmuch as II
there be any latent truth in them OF I'M
portance to mankind, it is our simple duty
to evoke that truth, and avail ourselves OF
its teaching in the practice OF medicine.
He remarked that the physicians duties DO
not cease when he has ascertained the
disease of his patient and prescribed
medicine to remove it; by medicine
alone the patient is not healed; he
has to act upon the advice of Hippocrates,
and see that those in attendance do their
duty also, and in his absence watch every
phase and action of the living present.
But to so direct, the physician must know
each cause Of change, and by his KNOW
ledge anticipate what may occur lay down
simple rules for the guidance OF friends and
NURSES, and teach them how to watch each
circumstance of disease he must know the
changefulnegs of our bodies in health; he
must take due account OF this cnange1ul-
ness when illness supervenes he must
know when all our vital functions are at
their height he must know when they are
nj their lowest ebb for this knowledge Is
mos, necessary element Of success II his
combat with the enemy he is implored to
encounter. OF late years the art Of nursing
has more than ever occupied the thoughts
of physicians and the laity at large. We
have had noble efforts made IN the camp
and at home to soothe the anguish Of the
wounded and diseased.
The author had collected over FIVE thou
sand cases Of death, with the hour OF death
and other circumstances recorded, which he
| had tabulated, aad exhibited on a large
chart, the difficult collections being distin-
guished by colored diagrams. BY this chart
| he showed that in one thousand cases OF
death in children under five years of age
the periods Of the greatest mortality took
place between the hours of | and 8 A, Nj:
that an extraordinary depression took
place In the succeeding hours between 9
and u P. NJ, and that the ratio Of mortality
was at It's minimum.
He then compared these statistics with
two thousand ght hundred and nine:y-one
deaths from all causes, and the chart showed
how remarkably the wsys.lines Of death
