PERSONAL AND POLITICAL IrEms.

In Nashville, on the 18th, the governors Office
was crowded with negroes from Maury county
who had left there from fear Of the Ku-Klux.
gentleman who saw Hon. John Bell few
days ago, says he is partially psralyzed, but in
fair health, Notwithstanding, and says he hopes 70
live to see Seymour elected, and to die free man.
The New York correspondent of q Msrseilles
paper says that II President johnson had been
convicted Ben. Wade would have appointed Ben
Butler chief justice in place of Chase, who would
have been legislated out Of Office.
Chlel Justlce chase is going to Minnesota, TO
visit the widow Of the Hon. John Mclean, late
Justice OF the Supreme Court, who resides with
her sons. Messrs. Gerard, at Frontenac The
mother Of Judge Chase's youngest daughter was
favorite niece OF Mrs. Mclean.
Gen. Thomas Ewing, Jr., concerning whose DO
lucal views and intentions, since the New York
convention, good many false reports have
been circulated, has positively declared his iuten.
uon to support the Democratic tcket-Seymour
and Blair.
The New York Herald has evidently reversed
us usual policy. Generally, heretofore, il has
supported the Democratic nominees until within
ABOUT month of the election, when II invariably
deserted TO the enemy. This year it will talk
Grant until within just Is days of the election,
when, seeing how the wind blows in October, il
will veer round to the side. of Seymour and sue
cess. -.
The New York Sun (Dsna's papsr) says that
Gov. Seymour Is " the most distinguished member
of the Democratic party" and that "he is the
most popular candidate that could have been Sc.
lected to command the vote on this side Of the
Aleghenes." II might have added the predic.
ton that next November will witness his tri.
umphant election to the presidential chair.
The Cincinnati Chronicle is a prominent radical
organ, and sets forth the real feelings of the
radical party in the following words "This is
trying Ireland by the Irish rule. Paddy Whack
echoes the Democratic cry of a white mans gov
eminent on the ground that negroes are not
capsule of self-government. We will not be
guilty OF uttering the atrocious sentiment that
says negro is better, or good, as an Irishman;
but we will say, without fear of a successful cen.
tradicion, that in all the qualities going to make
up citizenship, the negro is the superior"
Says the Commercial Advertiser Governor
Seymour is not TO be beaten by being called a
copperhesd, or Frank Blair to be distanced in the
race because he is a revoutionist. Ridicule Sey-
mour as some Republican journals may, he is the
most popular man In the Democratic party. Eter.
nal vigilance is necessary TO elect Grant" I'm.
fortunately. the radicals are preparing for "eter-
nal " punishment, and " vigilance cannot be ex.
pected of them.

ARTEMUs WARD AND HIS ExECUToRs.-The fol.
lowing letter from Mr.. E. H. House appears in
the Daily News of June 30:
Sri have seen in your issue Of the oath inst.
an article copied from the Daily Advertiser, of
Boston United States which contains some very
singular statements concerning the disposition of
the English property Of Artemus Ward, Mr..
Charles F. Browne,) and in regard to which
feel bound to ask you to allow me to say few
words. The idea conveyed in that article is that
the affairs of Mr.. Browne have been improperly,
or at least carelessly administered by the gentle
L en- to whom they were intrusted in this country.
Mr. Browne was one Of my intimate friends, and
believe there are few of his acquaintances in
America upon whose opinion touching his bust
ness matters should not be accurately informed.
His principal executors there, owing to peculiar
circumstances of old association, would never
have withheld from me any facts likely to inJuri-
ously affect Mr.. Brownies rights. i desire, then,
TO state that have never heard q single word OF
complaint from any person upon the subject Of
the settlement Of his business affairs in England.
If any such complaints have ever been seriously
made, they must inevitably have come to my
knowledge. / believe / am correct in denying
that the faintest suspicion Of any such feeling
that indicated by the article IN the Advertiser ex.
lists anywhere in America. At the same tina,
must add that the character of the Advertiser Is
exceptionally high, and that il is one OF the last
journals that would willingly publish an erroneous
paragraph on point like this. some uolucky
Misunderstanding probably existed, which the
late Mr.. Brownies friends 10 England may perhspa
wish TO clear away, but which certainly cannot
disturb the confidence Of his American friends 10
those whom he selected 10 fulfill his last and most
important requests. ] am, etc., e, u. HOUSE.
