DEcLISATioK oFHoRArIo SEYMOUR.
The nomination Of Horatio Seymour for
Governor of New York without his priv
iiy and against his wishes was blunder
Of the democracy Of that State-this and
nothing more. The attempt ofthe oppo-
sition press 10 attach moral delinquency
to tits only laughable and isjustly meet
ing the ridicale it deserves. No blum
der is worse than crime, the old saw
TO the contrary notwithstanding. and
nobody but rascal ever supposed that
il was. The blunder of Cincinnati in
endorsing Grant and his following
stands on very different bottom from
that Of the one in question. The Cincin-
natl case involved the conformation and
even eulogy Of acts avowedly incrusted
with immoral faint, and this, too, from
a mean and cowardly Difference to cul-
prits of proven outlines whose sup
port, however, was too essential to be
afronted or discarded. The error of the
New York Convention cleaned to vir-
tues side" Mr.. Seymour is a man OF
wide public experience and eminent
ability. His private and public life is
without reproach or suspicion of wrong
doing. After Tilden, he is the most
popular democrat in New York and is
probably the most eloquent speaker
in that State. What more natural,
therefore, than that his party should
seek to secure character and qualities
lions such as his in its candidate for
Governor The whole blunder OF the
the Convention consisted in nominal
ting Seymour without first consulting
him and in adjourning without receiv-
ing final and unmistakable answer
from himself. In justice to the Con-
vention, however, it should be stated,
that it adjourned under misconccp,ion
that he had accepted. Fer this Sey-
mour is not and the Convention is re-
sponsible. But what, after all, does
this tempest in teapot" amount to:
1t amounts TO the substitution of another
name for that of Seymour's and the
delay of a few days in obtaining it,
The adjourned Convention can recon-
vcne at once and make another nominal
ton, or the party authorities can call
q new Convention within the next ten
days and accomplish organization, and
then have sufficient margin of time
left to roll up the old Tildcn majority Of
fifty thousand for its gubernatorial can
didate, whoever he may be. Since
writingthe above, we notice that a new
Convention has been called by the par
~ authorities of New York to fill the
place vacated by the deelination of Mr..
Seymour.

and the unavoidable delay consequent
thereon, the speeches which had been
expected to be delivered were no,
forthcoming, but eloquent speakers, we
feel ourselves authorized to state, will

Consequently We are unable to publish it to-day.

QUEER DIsCovERY.-For some years the
 existence of large deposit of micaceous
 iron East of the East Fork of the Hassay-
 ampa, some sixteen or eighteen miles South
 of Prescott, has been known, and in times
 past assays have been made of it from time
 to time, but nothing more valuable than
 iron discovered, until one day last week
 when Mexican came to town and sold to
 Vim. NJ. Buffum some 15 ounces of silver
 bullion, which he afterwards said he ex-
 tracted from seven pounds of this ore, sam-
 pies of which he showed. An assay was
 made, by Blake, of the samples brought in,
 which gave $446.10 in silver and $71579 in gold. Wand and Saffenberg with the Mexi- can went to the mine, on Thursday, and brought in some of the ore. Kelly made an assay of it and found no trace of any metal but iron. Blake tried another piece and obtained $1,541 .99 in silver and $25.11 in gold, aggregating sl,5671O Martin Saffenberg, on Monday, went again to the mine and selected sample himself, with which the Mexican had nothing to do; this he broughtin, and Kelly made an assay of it and found $1 ,41O.32 in silver and S1OS. 76 in gold, aggregating Sl,579.Os. Blake then assayed piece taken from a very large chunk brought in by Wand and Saffenberg, and found $GsO1s in silver and $12.54 in gold; another gave only s3i4 in silver and only traces of gold.
 No one at all acquainted with the brittle iron ore, as it is called in California and Ne vada, would ever suspect this to contain anything but iron and mica. Some have called it plumbago, from the fact that it is quite black and shines with a bright metallic | lustre. It is easily pulverized, and when rubbed in the hands, has the appearance of being mixed with oil; for this reason many have given it the name of -blacking. which it very much resembles. Altogether is curious discovery, and puzzles the Issayers and experts, who are unable to tell my more about it than those who make no 'retentions. It may be that an entirely ew mineral has been discovered.

THE CENSCS----LETTER FROM HASSA-
 YAMPA.
HAssAYAMPA DISTRICT, Sept. 27, 1876.

HAssAYAMPA DISTRICT, Sept. 27, 1876.
 EDITOR MINER:-In looking over the census returns of this County, we notice that this precinct is set down as having a population of 155. After careful observa- ton we are certain that these figures are too low. From information which admits of no doubt, we are satisfied and stand pre- pared to prove, that this precinct at the present time, contains at least, 175 inhabi- tants. Ours is entirely mining section and the different camps are scattered over a large extent of mountainous country; be- sides new camps are being established, and new mines opened steadily, and one not fully acquainted with the District would be likely to overlook some of them. This will account for the mistake in the Marshal's return. We deem this statement called for at the present time, in view of the despair ing howl which has been raised by that un- scrupulous clique who by mendacity and fraud, have so long controlled the political destinies of Arizona but the handwriting is on the wall, and though they may try to avert the blow and postpone the day of their doom, not all the hard swearing of every unprincipled tool in their interest can save them. Their time has come. To those em- isaries, equipped and furnished with rowing commissions by the Tucson Juata and now prowling around through the highways and byways of Yavapai, we say, should they doubt the accuracy of the above figures, call and see for yourselves.

Colonel Bigelow and J. R. Darroche having secured the control of the old Often mine on the lower Hassayampa, left Prescott on Thursday to go to work on the vein. The mine was worked in 1864 and paid well in gold. There is shaft on it 90 feet deep, which they propose to clean out and resume work where the previous owners left off. This mine has always had a good name and we hope it may be kept up.
