SEYMOUR DECLINES.

We find the following in last even
ine's dispatches:
New York, September THE Herald
publishes an interview with Seymour
this morning. The Governor says: Yes
terdsy morning received letter from
DR.. Churchill, my physician. forbidding
me making any mental or physical effort.
and declaring that the acceptance OF this
or any other public position would be
detrimental, il 1t did not prevent my III
innate recovery. In view Of these facts.
il will be impossible for me to accept
the nomination. and ] SO Informed gen
tlemen from Saratoga who waited upon
me this morning. requesting my ac-
ceptapce.
An Evening Post special from Utica
says: Nothing can alter Horatio Sey'
mour's determination not To permit the
uss Of his name as the Democratic can
,li,lats for Governor. He SAYS this morn
Inc that he will listen to no more gentle
men who wish 10 urge the nomination
upon him, no matter who they are. He
had been made sick by che interviews
and excitement of the last two days.
There is ons Democrat in New York
who 10 quite match Tor iiitie Sain III
dem. That man is Horatio Seymour.
His declination is an oniuous event to
the Democracy. 1. means two things:
First. That Seymour is unwilling to be
used IS q Jack alta pinch TO serve the
selfish aims of Tildsn; and. second. that
Seymour has 70 faith in the power OF
the Democracy to carry New York AT the
coming election. 1t means also. that
Tammany Hall is not willing that the
sins of its adheren,s should longer be
employed as Tilden's Reform" capital.
and Tsmmany itself be left ont in the
cold. Tilden has evidently over-played
his hand.

SOMETHING OF A SWIMMER. OF
The most singnl"r rescues ever reported.
he Sontb Australian Advertiser reports,
occurred during the voyage OF the Ma
Marole from Frem.ntle. The schooner
was running ut the rate Of ten knots per
hour, before heavy westerly gale. when
the alarm wss given of man overheard.
One Of the Sonth Sea Islanders had been
relieved from the wheel, and. in a heavy
D .ir of boots and an oilskin coat, was
going forward when he was knocked
overheard by heavy sea which came
OVER The side. The waves were running
mountainously as he dropped astern. but
the report was no sooner made than the
schooner was rounded to in the bare
hope of saving the unfortunate man.
She came to the wind under the press of
sail, made short reach, and was soon
about on the other tack. To Judge OF
the time on such occasions is difficult.
but the master considers that a quarter
of an hour elapsed before the position
where the man was left overheard was
regained A sharp look ont was kept,
aud on heading over an immense sea the
voice OF the man was heard above the
gale. The way of the craft was at orce
stopped, and the man swan up 10 the
side aud WAS taken on board. He had
thrown off the heavy boots, but brought
the oilskin coat bnck.

pcrfyS of the Black Hills.

Before any OF our friends start for the
BLACK Hills let them carefully read the
following:
Omaha, August 3l.-A. A. Jones. agent
of Clark's Pony Express at Deadwood
CITY, arrived at Sidney this morning, and
reports that Indians raided the road pc
tween Custer and Deadwood on the goth
instant, and killed Weston Smith. a min.
lister. and three miners, named Mason.
Polins and Ike Brown, carrying OF their
stock On the 22d they made raid on
a party five miles south Of Custer City,
and killed James Kidd, Samuel Wallace,
Jacob Weilby and Mr.. Thompson. The
Indians are supposed to be Northern
Sioux from the hostile camp, on their
road to the agencies. Jones says the
country is full of Indians.
An inter-Ocean Yankton special says:
The steamer Western brings returning
Black Killers, who give the startling in
fellipepce that some hundreds of Sitting
Ruli's Indians have arrived in the Black
Hills and are raiding on the settlements.
Between the 18th and 2lst of August II

THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY CON.
YENTION TO-DAY.

Tho Republicans Of Ormsby County
through their chosen representatives
will meet in Con vention to-day for the
purpose OF selecting candidates to fill
the various county offices for the en-
suing two years. 1t is duty involv-
ing great responsibility and demand
ing much careful elaboration and
wisdom of selection. 1t is likely that
several of the incumbents, known TO
he faithful and efficient officers, will
be renominated. This is wise course
to pursue and one which will COM
mend itself to the voters of all parties.
For several of the positions to be
filed, new and untried men will
doubtless be selected. The Conven-
ton should bear in mind that i; is one
thing to namo candidates and another
thing 10 elect them. In all justice
party fealty should be among the first
prerequisites to party recognition. 1t
is folly TO ignore personal ayailabil-
ny. Sound Republicanism allied to
capabiliiy and record for honesty
and fair dealing should be recognized
as Indispensable prerequisites. No
man should be intrusted with a NOM
.nation to either branch of the Lesls-
Iature who is not Il thoroughly relia-
bic supporter OF the bullion-tax. We
hone to see The admirable resolution
adopted by the State Convention,
touching thls subject heartily reaf-
iirmed to-day. The solvency of the
state depends upon the snstentation
of the existing act, although 1t Is
among the things to be hoped for that
the time is not far distant when tan
alton upon all descriptions of prop
erty can be safely diminished. In
conclusion let us say that we have
high hopes that the labors of the Con-
vention will proceed i'll harmony and
result in tho promotion OF the true
interests of the party, the county and
the State.

WEED AT SARATOGA.

The services of that Nestor OF New
York politics, Thurlow Weed. were
OF great avail in promoting harmony
at the New York Republican State
Convention. Commenting upon the
excellent and beneficent offices of this
powerful old chieftain, the Herald
saws: "He has made Governors. has
made Senators, has determined the
choice of foreign ministers and places
in the Cabinet, but has never sought
any official position for himself, and
when such places have been offered
and pressed upon him he has always
declined them. Had he been a vulgar
oflice-seeker he could not have exer-
ted that controlling influence in Amer
lean politics which made him the most
influential man of his time. Mr.. Weed
has loved power, but has scorned the
ostentation of it; lie has seen public
men rise and fall in ephemeral pros
perity, while his own influence was
perennial'sO long as he chose to be ac-
tive i'm politics. In late years he has
retired from the political arena ana
sought the secusion suited to his
years. Nothing short of great crisis
in the fortunes of his party could have
tempted him to forego his ease ami
make a journey to Saratoga. lie ac-
comrlished the object for which he
went, and the Republican party Is
probably more indebted to him than
to any other influence for the harmony
which prevailed in its State Conven-
ton and the excellent ticket which 1t
put in nomination. He went to Sara
toga with the intention to make Gov
ernor Morgan the leading candidate,
and he accomplished his purpose.
This is probably the last occasion in
which this astu.e and peerless politi-
clan will exert his influence. If Mr..
Morgan is elected, and the electoral
votes of New York are given to Hayes
as fruit of the republican victory,
Mr.. Weed will deserve great share
of the credit Let the result of the
election be as it may, this is probably
the last occasion on which this re-
markable man Will take an active part
in the politics of the country

How Democratic Reform Works in
San Francisco.

Asa specimen Of Democratic Reform
the Sacramento Record Union presents
the following account:
1t does not appear to be sufficiently
known that the Democrats OF the last
Legislature contrived to enact law
which has since operated almost solely
"a an aid and comfort to hoodlnmism
Until that body in its wisdom changed
that system, the Police Judge of San
Francisco had complete jurisdiction over
cases OF misdemeanor, but when the
Democrats undertook to provide for Mr.
Robert Terrell. now commonly styled
Judge Bob Terrell, they thought 1t
necessary to create some work for bis
Central Criminal Court TO do, and II
seems possible that i'll the plan adopted
they were further inspired by represen'
tatives from the classic precints OF Tar
Flat. However this may be, it is certain
that they so changed the law rs to
provide that whenever defendant In
the Police Court in misdemeanor cas-
demanded u jury trial the case Shouts
be transferred to Mr.. Ferteii's Cour'. 1t
ia not difficult to understand why tbs
change should be acceptable to the dan
gerous classes. Judge Louderback. OF
the Police Court, has long been terror
of evil doors, and hood!ums have ioa2
known that they had only stern justice
to expect from him. He has always ad'
ministered the full penalty of the law
in cases of ruffanisn, and few rogues
have slipped through his hands. Bat
Judge Bob Terrell has no such reput:-
ton: As Rhadamanshus in fact lie i
generally held to be failure. Hood
Iums transferred to his Court from
Judge Louderback's tribunal as often
rs not escape scot free. 1t has even
been intimated that juries have been
packed, and notorious ruffians acquitted
in he face OF the clearest and strongest
proofs, The result Of course Is to en-
courage scoundrals and dishesrten
honest men and peaceable citizens
This, however, is not singular Issue
of Democratic political maneuvers,
though it affords some food for reflection
at q time when Democrats are SO fond
of taking about reform:

The Danger Of Being n Republican
I'm Mississippi.

Hon. G. W. Welles, member Of Con.
eress from Mississippi, addressed the
HAYES Inviucibles at Horticultural Hall,
San Francisco, on Wednesday night.
He described the condition of things
political in that unfortunate State a.
follows:
We have in Mississippi 10000 major
ity. and if shot guns do no; drive Amer
leans from the polls the State will he
carried by the Republicans. In ray
State there are 10 less than 10000 Re
pubiicans who dare not go to the polls.
They have an organization called the
"Black Line" which declares that any
black man who goes to the polls shall
not be employed. Now l speak what L
know when say that 500 men have bee N
shot down in my State because they
dared to vote. When We took tho Gov
eminent Of Mississippi We found the
State bankrupt. The State House was
dilapidated, not dollar in the treasury,
and We repaired the Capitol, provided
food for the iunatics, purchased a home
for the blind and dumb. When We taxed
the people to pay for this. they sen, Il
over the country that We were robbine
the State. We built school houses, and
the Democrats burned them down. We
rebuilt them, and they burned them
down again. and we rebuilt them again,
and taxed them till they were sick OF 1t,
and then they cried louder. thieves: The
fires burn to-day in the South as brightly
az they did in 1861 in regard to the lost
cause. Aud if we are defeated the col
ored people will be in worse condition
than ever before. and if Tiden is elected
1, with every other white Republican IN
the South. will have to move out. say
it seriously, for no white loyal man IL
Mississippi aver goes to bed without
closing his house and guarding against
rebel bullets and rebel assassins.
For thus telling the truth about the
condition of parties and politics in Mis-
sissippi. that gracious conservative print,
the San Francisco Examiner, speaks OF
Congressman Welles as " another Radi-
cal miscreant.' Is this the persuasive
language Of " Reform
