published. Not long ago THE SUN began
the Illustration OF new era in American
journalism. The governing principle in
its news columns was the stripping of Of
the mere husk and the presentation Of the
Kernel in shape so trim, compact and
accurate that one could assimilate from its
pages the news of the day without losing
time In wadiug through the rubbish Inn
posed upon him in many other newspapers
by those who lacking the ability to con-
dense judicously or the sense TO see that
such work was needed, threw the crude
mass into their columns, leaving to the
reader the task OF digestion.
Thus our circulation has extended until
now " Everybody reads The SUN" II may
be found in Baxter street and in the Fifth
avenue alike, in Avenue d and In Wall
street. The poor man buys IL because from
its clearly arranged columns he may keep
up with the current Of affairs without ell
croaohing upon bis hours Of labor; the
rich man buys IL because IL Is sure to give
him the latest news, and the broadest and
most accurate information; and every
body, Of all classes, buys II because it Is
bright and cheerful, and not only con-
demns and resolutely opposes the false and
dishonest, but recognizes and encourages
the good and true.

MIR. SeYmonr,s Sickness.

1t has for some time been reported that
Gov. SEYMOUR was quite sick, and two or
three kilograms from him speaking Of the
unsatisfactory condition of his health have
been published.
We ascertain upon inquiry that some
time ago Mr.. SEYMouR's neighbors chose
him path master, as the official is called
who in the State of New York has charge
of repairing the public roads. In dis
charging the duties OF this post which he
went about Economically, like any other
farmer he exposed himself to the hot sun
and suffered, not what is called q sun
stroke, but something similar TO IT, which
compelled him TO put himself In charge Of
physicians, and for a time rendered 1t i'm
possible for him to leave the house.
From this malady Mr.. SEYMOUR has now
so far recovered that he is able not merely
to sit up and walk, but to drive about the
country; and he has also regained his
usual appearance OF health. He still re-
mains, however, under medical advice
and, being OF a delicate constitution, he
finds it necessary, for fear Of relapse to
take constant care of himself, avoiding
everything that might over-excite or over
task the nervous system.
There is, however, every reason to be
confident of Mr.. SEYNouR's early restora-
ton to complete health and vigor.

The Sort of Civil Service Reform
which Mr.. Hayes Likes.

The practice Of arbitrarily assessing the
ofhceholders to carry elections has been
bad enough heretofore under the present
Administration, and has caused great scam
DIAL. But no previous experience has ut all
approached the present disgraceful exhi-
bition at Washington. On Wednesday
last, the Post Once Department. now
managed by the back-pay grabber TYSER,
n creature of MoRToN's, was the scene OF
the latest forced levy.
An agent OF Postmaster EDMUSDs, who
calls himself Judge FIsHER-not the for
mer District Attorney-occupied one of
the rooms of the department, attended by
two Of the official messengers. The clerks
had been notified that they were expected
TO pay two per cent on their annual sala-
ries and that refusal would he followed
by removal. They responded to the tax

moras have repeatedly responded to the

department would have witnessed spec

did not voluntarily appear, the messengers

The GROWING meanness of the black

Advice to Pittsburgh.

At the close of the war, Pittsburgh was
probably the most thriving city OF its size
In the Union. The Government had been
mighty customer to Its foundries, mills
and factories, and the business Of the place
had grown TO enormous proportions. But
somehow under GRANT, Pittsburgh has
ceased to prosper. Her fires have gone
out, her work people are idle, her banks
are full of money with nobody able or
willing TO borrow 1t, and al the miseres
that were to come in with DR.. GREELEY
have come in with his rival
The business men of Pittsburgh are now
looking for the cause of the calamity.
They do not, 1t appears, find it in the cor
ruption and extravaganza Of their rulers,
or in the policy which has impoverished
the South, and thus out off an immense
trade which naturally belonged in large
part to Pittsburgh, and would have more
than supplied the place of the Govern
ment custom when that custom ceased
with the war. They attribute it to another
nursing OF the Republican party, to the
freight hend,' rs he Is described in the
local press. This "nend," as they tell us
Is no other than Col. THOMAS A. SCOTT,
and his numerous associates and satellites
who, in sets Of threes or nves, get charters
from the corrupt Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture, and then organize transportation
lines, with special rates and special privi-
leges which crush out competition, while
these privileged parties wax fat aud inSo-
lent at the public expense.
Pittsburgh has done wonders for the
pennsy wanna Railroad in mora ways than
one, and IN return for its unbounded liber-
atty, Mr.. ScorT, as they allege, deliber-
ately prepares one scheme after another,
intended manly to destroy Its business
ana incidentally to enrich himself and hi,

Both the Turks and the Servians have
displayed immense vigor, during the present
war, IN keeping newspaper correspondents away
from their articles. Both sides have nllcd the
world with contradictory faisehoods, through
their oficsl reports, about the operations aud
successes OF their troops In the neid. These re-
ports sent out from Constantinople and Bel
grade have become the laughing stock Of man
kind. Though marked with tho official stamp
In both cases, they are universally discredited.

Horatio Seymour and the Saratoga
Convention.

The Herald AYERS that on Thursday, I'M
medately after the flnal action OF the Con-
vention at Saratoga, one OF its reporters
went directly from that place TO Utica,
and in an interview with the Hon. HoRA-
ITO SEYMOUR, was told by him that he had
never agreed to accept the nomination,
and that the announcement made in the
Convention was not authorized.
We learn that the two gentlemen who
went to Utica as n subcommittee on behalf
Of the Convention to ascertain whether
Mr.. SEYMOUR would reconsider his pre-
vious determination and become the can
didate, were his intimate friend, Mr.. j.
THOMAS SPRIaGs OF Utica, and Mr.. SIDNEY
7. FAIRcHILD OF Cazenovia. These gentle.
men saw Mr.. SEYMOUR, and telegraphed
back the words: go on. Complete the
ticket" these words having previously
been agreed upon to be used in telegram
from them to signify that Mr.. SKYMoUE
nssented.
From Mr.. SPRIGass peculiar relations
with Mr.. SEYMOUR, tho responsibility OF
this telegram and OF the subsequent action
Of the Convention rests upon him more
than upon Mr.. FAIRcHILD; and If the re-
port OF the Herald should prove to be ao
purate-and it will prove so ifMr. SEYMOUR
should adopt its declarations aud persist
In peremptorily refusing-we have M
doubt that Mr.. SPRIoos Will furnish an ex
PLANTATION that will relieve him and his Us
socate from the suspicion Of any delb
crate purpose TO deceive the Convention
md the country.

Information for an Advertiser.

To THE EDITOR OF THE suN-Sir: Very fire.
SaeG aad a.sys clearly ana iorco YOU 80 t2rla
and rrut' 10 conform 10 me new order Of tang; but
Ntrtlsins IN InE sun MERCHANT.
Our correspondent speaks hastily aud
without due reflection. The fact 10 that
the cost OF advertising III THE sun has
been very materially diminished in the
last few wears, and II 10 still steadily diInin-
ishing; indeed, there is no necessity Of life
or business that has undergone q greater
reduction. Our correspondent loses sight
of the tact that while THE SUNS prices
have remained stationary, its circulation
has immensely increased. Four years ago,
when our rate for ordinary advertising
was the same rs now, forty cents line,
The SUNS circulation was about 100000,
affordilg beyond all comparison the cheap
est advertising ever offered in New York
an advertisement Of one line in $500
newspapers for one cent; and since then
ii has incI eased thirty-fve per cent. while
the price of advertisements remains uu-
changed.
To understand the subject more clear
ly, let us take for example thriving
newspaper In prosperous city Of 30
900 inhabitants Such a newspaper might
have n circulation of 5000, though more
probably il would be less. Suppose its
charge for advertising 10 be five cents
line, and every experienced advertiser
knows tins would be very low Now, the
cost OF advertising i'll that newspaper
would he one cent IA line for each thousand
copies, and tins would he thought reason-
able and profitable TO the advertiser; and
yet IL is clear that this rate would be more
than three times dearer than the present
rate Of THE Sun, and twice and IA half
dearer than our rate four years ago when
The suns circulation was only 100000
copies daily.
Suppose the price OF sugar four years
ago was ten cents pound, and that now,
the nominal price being still ten cents, q
certain grocer should give twenty-five
ounces to the pound everybody would
admit the advantage OF buying from that
dealer. 1t ia in this way that THE SUNS
rate for advertising has been reduced.
The price remains the same but the cir
culation is now constantly over 1876, 900
daily, something utterly unprecedented in
American newspaper history; a eiroula-
ton whose vast magnitude even many
journalists fail to realize.
II THE SUNS rate OF one cent line for
each $500 copies was unprecedented low
what shall We say OF printing one line in
0,875 newspapers for one cent? That is
what THE SUN is doing every day. 1t is
beyond all comparison the cheapest adver-
Using in the world no other journal gives
SO large return for the money expended
Next to extent, the advertiser considers
the character Of newspapers circulation.
There was time, though it is now some
years ago, when THE SUN was read mainly
by single class Of people Now its oircula-
ton Is doubtless more cosmopolitan and ar
reaching than that OF any other newspaper
