The State convention of the New
York Democracy met in Saratoga on the 30th,
and nominated Horatio Seymour for govern
or by reclamation, notw outstanding the re-
ceipt of telegram from him that his health
would not admit ofhis acceptance. The con-
vention adjourned for one day and a commit
tee was sent to urge upon Gen. S. that he re-
cede from his decision. The committee re-
turned and announced that the nominee felt
constrained to obey the wishes OF the people
and would, accept. The convention then
nominated Mr.. Dorsheimer for lieutenant
governor and the convention adjourned. It
is now positively stated that Gov. Seymour
instead Of signifying his acceptance, unqual-
ifiedly declined, and that the report Of the
commftt 46 was false. Il - =

{. The Cookies Once More. :,

The Philadelphia Ledger of the Goth
says: We see it stated that the son of
Henry D. Cooke, at Washington, has
recently paid to the comptroller of the
currency a sum sufficient, to enable the
comptroller to declare a final dividend
to the creditors of the First National
Bank of that city, of which the Cookies
were the principal stockholders. This
dividend, it is said, was in full for the
entire amount of the claims. The en-,
tire indebtedness having been paid,
the Cookies are released from the pen.
alties of the National Banking law, and
almost simultaneously came the an
nouncement that the banking firm of
Jay Cooke & Co. had been released
from bankruptcy. 1t is now said that
the Cookies ask that the right to. reor:
organize the First National Bank of
the District of Columbia be granted
them. TO this there would seem to be
no obstacle, and they may now go into
the banking business under the act of
Jan. H. 1875, but whether they can
claim the old title is,a matter. Of con-
sideration in the Treasury: Department.
It is understood that the, First Nation

.:r;Mure Turco-Servian War Reports.

\ dispatch from Belgrade: Of the
aoth, says the keenest anxiety is felt to hear
OF an armistice. Every day increases the
danger Of the. war spreading. The Servia,l
army is fast becoming q Russian auxiliary
force, fighting on servian. soil. Russians are
exposing themselves in the bruht Of the bat
tic withksmarlablevalor. : Out ofsixty-eight
who fought as q company at Alexinatz, thirty
warGleft dead on the field. The Servians are
becoming jealous and afraid of the Russians!
They feel the control of the army slipping
from their hands, and will joy1ully accept
peace if it can be obtained on good terms.
The seven days. fight before Alexinatz has
been greatly exaggerated. 1t is estimated
the servians' entire loss is only few hun-
dred killed and about 1900 wounded. No
lists Of killed and'wounded have been pub.
lished here since the beginning OF the war.
Another dispatch from Belgrade says the
popular feeling is warlike. 1t is generally ex-
pected that the porte will refuse an armis-
tice. s"M ! + s: %a@'~.
