The New York Sun (RadicaD has the
fairness and honesty to vindicate Governor
Seymour from one of the charges which has
heen preferred against MIN. It says:
1T is vehemently asserted that Cover
nor Seymour obtained his nomination thro'
the trickery and artifce of himself and his
friends, and to secure it he was guilty of
double dealing, aud the New York delega-
ton Of duplicity aud chcauery. Though a
superficial view Of tho case might seem to
warrant this assertion, we are convinced
that the real facts will not sustain the
charge.
"We believe that, for reasons satisfactory
to himself, some of private and some of a
public nature, Mr.. Seymour had firmly re-
solved not to take the nomination.
THE call Of the roll went on, and when
Ohio was reached she gave her twenty-one
votes to Seymour, amid protracted cheer
ing, whcreupOn MIR. Seymour in the face of
the convention, unequivocally declined
Immediately that eminent Democrat, Val
langdigham, of OHIO, rose, and in tones of
earnest eloquence, put TO Mr.. Seymour as q
duty to obey the voice Of the party. A
similar appeal was made by the Hon. Fran
els Herman, the delegate from Gov. Sey-
mour's own district. Hereupon North Car
olina, which had voted for Hendricks for the
first time, changed for Seymo and other
States began to follow her lead. Under
this impulse, the convention and the spec
tators instantly resolved themselves into a
tumutuous, Uncomfortable, shouting mob,
and during This ipdescribable uproar every
State went over to Seymour.
owe believe accordingly, that for salts.
factory reasons, Governor Seymour did not
desire a nomination to the Presidency at
this iuucturc; that he did not plot to obtain
it that he was sincere in declining it ; but
was cOerced into its acceptance by circum-
stances which a more persistent courage
than he possesses might, perhaps, have con-
trOlled or successfully resisted -

A STREET FIGHT IN TENNESSEE. The
Nashville banner gives an account of a
bloody atfray that recently occurred in
the streets Of Fayetteville Tenn in
which several hundred persons were en-
gagged. The fight was between radicals
and conservatives, and the Banner takes
especial pains to make it appcar that the
blame was all on the side of the radicals.
but the details render 1t pretty certain
that the rebel element had quite as much
agency in causing the fearful tragedy as
the radicals. The trouble is said to have
begun by a radical named Kemp rid ing
into crowd and declaring that he could
whip any man who was not radical

man dsmounted and fed, fearing an at

store OF a friend The affair raised bit.
ter feeling among both parties, and soon
after an encounter took place between
radical and conservative. Each had a
crowd of hackers, who took part in the
quarrel, and for some time the air was
literally filled with rocks, bricks and mis-.
siles. As the blood of the combatants be-
came still more heated, pistols we're
brought into requisition, and hot fire
was kept up on both sides The radicals
were obliged to yield to superior numbers,
and while retreating one of their leaders
named Pamphlen' was shot through the
heart in store where he sought refuge
aud died instantly. His deth caused q
suspension Of hostilities, when it was
found that another Pamphlen and two
men named Brown, all radicals, had been
seriously if not mortally wounded.
Three other radicals also required medical
assistance. None Of the rebels were killed
bat several were badly hurt.

out a very considerable discussion. The
other paper is upon the Episcopal Clergy

1t was from this qualification that we

call US "a little rascally dog skim" rath
