MIR. Seward.

No one disputes now that its dealings (those
of the Republican parity with Seward and
Chase were just. They dug their graves with
their own hands.-Kennebec Journal q
Why will Republican papers persist ih class
ing Mr.. Seward with Judge Chase, Carl
Schurz, &cP He has never left the party or
failed to support its candidates, nor has he
ever threatened that he would do so. He
voted for Gen. Grant in 1865 and there has
been no intimation that he does not propose
to do so in 1872. Mr.. Seward has never CO.
tangled himself in alliances like those which
are being prepared for Liberal Republicans at
Cincinnati. 1t is true, that, to the deep re-
greet and sorrow of many friends he remained
in the cabinet of Andrew johnson to the
end of his bad administration, but when it is
remembered that by doing so he held that adj
mnistfation from total surrender to the
copperheads and secessionists, into whose
arms the Blairs and others had conspired
to throw it, that he may not improbably have
saved the country from another civil war, we
ought at least to make wide distinction be-
tween him whose action was intended for his
country's safety and was taken at the peril OF
his own political life, and the man who OPEN
ly deserted his party and abandoned the prin-
ciples of a lifetime that he might he Presi-
dent by the help OF men whom he had al
ways opposed and who had just come out of a
rebellion against his country and which he
had abored to put down. .

A CHANCE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
Mr.. Gilmore's latest Boston notion is to use the
Atlantic cable to fire an artillery accompani-
ment in London while playing "God Save the
Queen" at the Hub. The only objection to this
