late Wm. h. Seward was opened by the
family on the 10th. 1t is clear, auo-
cinot document, singnlarly free from
legal technicalities, and written entirely
in his own hand. He bequeaths his late
home at Auburn. with oil its contents
and surroundings, to his three sons, by
one or more of whom it will doubtless
be occupied and preserved intact, as far
as possible. in it's present condition. His
other property. consisting in part of &c.
curltles. but mainly of real estate in
Auburn and in that locality. he divides
into four equal shares among his sons,
Augustus, Frederick and William, and
his adopted daughter, Olive RisIey Sew
ard-the last two being depnted to exc
cute this provision of the instrument.
n. No other legacies or bequests are made.
Ihe property has not yet been appraised.
and it is impossible to say precisely what
it amounts to. Estimates vary, but it
will probably be not far from 5000, 900.

CLERGYMEN's STRIKE IN WAsH1HoroN
AT meeting held last Monday, the
evangelical cIergymen of WASHINGTON.
u. o., passed the following resolutions
by unanimous vote:
Whereas the burial of the dead on the
Lords day should be avoided, except in
caccs OF extreme necessity, for the fol-
lowing reasons, viz:
l. Because it involves unnecessary
work Oh that day, by undertakes, livery.
stable men, hackmen and horses. the
superintendent of cemeteries and their
assistants, in violation of the letter and
spirit of the fourth commandment:
''Thou shalt not do any work, thou. nor
thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man.ser-
want, nor thy maid.servant. nor thy cat
tie, nor thy stranger that is within thy
gates"
2. Because it prevents such persons
from attending divine services.
.. Because it seriously interferes with
the duties of ministers on the most i'm
portant and laborious day OF the week.
4. Because bands of music, PLAYING
the most frivolous airs on their return
from the grave, are often employed, at-
tracting crowds into the streets and dis
turbing public worship; therefore,
heSotued, That we earnestly protes!
against the abuses, and request the mem
Ders OF our congregations and the public
IN general, 80 far as possible, not to Sc
leot the Lord's day for the burial of the
dead, and whenever this day must be
selected, to avoid the honors Of public
service and the employment of bands of
music.

The Washington Capital, in speaking
OF MIR. Seward, says:
He inaugurated the fatal contempt
now generally felt Tor constitutional
protection, and, while known as the
author of the so-oalled "war power" his
"httle bell" that consigned citizens to
nntried imptiaonment was in fact the
death .knall to all the fathers labored to
establish In the way of free government.
The Ills he did live after him. Demora-
iized by his example. in the hot hour of
deadly strife. the people now view with
apathetic Indifference o coarse soldier
trampling. with impunity, upon all they
once held sacred. To appeal to the
Constitution now is to excite ridioule.
and subject the thoughtful patriot to
public contempt. Had William Fl. Sew.
ard been as pure as he was brilliant, he
would have labored to hold intact and
sacred at the North that which the Con
iederates were striving, with arms in
hand, to destroy at the South. But the
mean, selfish love of power overcame
his better principles, and turning bis
back upon the example of the illustrious
Washington, he sacrificed his country
upon the altar OF personal ambition.
He is dead now. We propose that his
memory shall survive as q warning and
example.

Military Order from Texas.

The following order from the Mili-
 tary Headquarters of Texas 10 so e1-
 cellent in its style and thoroughness
 that we reprint it for general public
 perusal:
 HEADQtARTERs DEPARTMENT OF TEXAS,
 SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, April 3, 1872.
 General Orders No. ,.
 The orders now existing in this De-
 partment, establishing sub-posts, and
 prescribing the number of troops at
 each post to be engaged in scouting,
 are recinded, and the following sub-
 stituted therefor:
 Every commanding officer will be
 held responsible that within the limits
 of his post, as prescribed in General
 Order No. 6, from these Headquarters, of 1871, the troops under his command are employed to the extent of their ability in giving protection to exposed settlements and routes of travel, and in guarding against Indian incursions; and in case the latter do occur, that they be not content with mere formal pursuit of a few days, then los ing trail and returning, but see that vigorous, determined and continued effort, even to the extent of privation to men and horses, if necessary, be made to overtake and punish the marauders. To this end, they will establish such camps and stations on mail routes and near settlements, and direct such scouts as, in their opinion, will most surely aid in accomplishing the desired objects. They will give particular attention to their cavalry; keep it we'll in hand, and in condition of preparation as to arms, am- munition horse-shoes, pack animals, water casks, &c.,, that when an op- portunity offers, it can be exerted to its fullest capacity. It should never be used for escorts, and for extra or daily duty men, only when unavoid- able. Cavalry scouts should be push ed we'll out iD the direction from which Indians usually come, and cavalry officers made familiar with the country, the watering places and grass, which of necessity must deter mine the general route of Indians, so that if the trail is lost at one point they may know where, in all prob ability, 1t may be re-found.
 All the settlers on the frontier, and 5he stage and transportation con- oanies, are greatly interested in break ng up these raids, and commanding officers are desired to communicate with hem and with each other, and ar 'ange some plan by which the ear jest information of the presence of Indians may be communicated to the learest military post, and this infor- nation should always be acted upon, lnless evidently incorrect. It is bet CT to be deceived at times than risk osing an opportunity to punish Indians.
 Judicious care should be taken not o send parties in pursuit of Indians, lnder officers who have made up their minds before starting that nothing an be done. With such leaders ( Iothing will be done, and it is mere oily to send them out.
 Commanding officers will report as oon as practicable what action they under this order, giving loca- ion of all sub-posts or stations, and heir general plan of scouting, and yill also report. at the end of each lonth, what has been accomplished nder 1t.

From our knowledge Of the two gentle

ent is somewhat mistaken, for, from what
we eau learn, Captain Swami is better
Republican than Judge Smiths, During
the late State campaign Judge Smith as.
serted on several occasions that he had
never voted but one Republican ticket in

crat than either of his four competitors for
the Judgeship. We very much doubt if
Capt. Swaun can say as much. We sup.

matter is, Straight Republican" sees the
uupopularity of Capt. Swami, in his fail

that Judge Smith could do a little better.
All We have to say in the matter is, if he
don't "want any parcel in political bar

vote for beside Judge Smith. In the end,
hover. it will make no difference. Major
Frank Hereford has given general salts.
