Mr.. Horatio Seymour has hardly ceased

Mr.. Horatio Seymour has hardly ceased
speaking OF " the simple virtues, princi-
pies OF honesty and wisdom OF our fathers
whlch the Democratic party has ever up
held"-especially during the Tweed as
tendency in New York-when the Con-
neeticut branch Of the party, in illustra-
ton OF Its devotion to simple virtue, hon.
esty, wisdom and administrative reform,
selects as the colleague OF Mr.. Eaton Mr..
w. II. Barnum, who.is openly described
IN the papers as a 'corruptionlst' and IA
rich and VIGOROUSLY unscrupulous poll
tlcian," who has outwitted Mr.. English,
his competitor, in intriguing and briDing
Tor the place. Here's richness, as the ex-
cellent Mr.. Squeers said. And amidst the
solemn exhortations to an afflicted coun-
try to seek peace and purity and reform i'll
the yearning Democratic bosom, this per-
Torrance, not of an individual, but Of the
Democratic majority of legislature, is
richness even beyond Squeers.
The Democratic brethren are constantly
insisting that Belknap and Babcock and
certain other Republicans are effectively
the Republican party. But if that party
must indeed bear the ugly responsibility,
how about Pendleton, and Bafnum, and
Hill, and Tucker, and Fernando Wood,
and the Democratic Legislature Of Con-
necticut? Where in the Democratic press
has there been any hearty and unmisak
able condemnation OF the doctrines OF
Tucker, or the spirit OF HILL or the con-
duct OF Pendleton, or the shameful sale
OF the Connecticut Scholarship? On the
other hand, where has there been more
trenchant and unsparing condemnation OF
every kind and degree of Republican Of
ieHses and Offenders :han in the Republi
can press and by Republican orators?
There has been no indication whatever
that there is even any serious wish OF re-
form upon the part OF any considerable
number of Democrats. Gov. Tilden has
certain kind OF reform reputation. He
is most adroit politician, and he is the
most available candidate OF his party for
the Presidency. But he and his re-
forms VIGOROUSLY do not represent the
real forces OF his party. The selection
OF reformer as party figure-head may
be considered desirable as stroke OF
policy. But there is no sign anywhere
that the feeling or purpose OF the party or
OF any important part of it is for reform.
Reducing the salary of the Minister to
England from ST. 800 to $14 900 does not
prove ii, and the holowness of the action
was shown by the conduct of Mr.. Hewitt,
Democratic member from New York,
who declared that the present salary did
not support the Minister properly, yet
who voted to reduce it, This is good H.
lustration of the whole pretense OF Demo
cratic reform. The Democratic party,
said Mr.. Seymour, has not gained the con-
fidence of the country. And the SenatO-
rial bargain of Mr.. BaTnum will not help
TO gain it.--Hd,per's Weekly.

suppression of the rebellion was proclaimed
in 1866. Meantime, in July, 1866, m act of
Congress, by changing the circuits, had de.
prived the justices Of the Supreme Court Of
jurisdiction in the Southern States, and
Jurisdiction was not restored till March,
1867, when Congress passed the necessary
act. OF course from July, 1866, to March,
1867, neither tn. Chief Justice, nor any
other justice. could try any body in Virginia;
sny editor of auy newspaper would have a.
much right. At the time Of the act OF
March, 1867, was passed, the Supreme Court
was sitting in Washington, and the Chief
Justice was bound to be there. But he
wrote the district judge at Richmond that
he would come down and join him in hold
ing the court as soon as the Supreme Court
adjourned in May.
Davis however, was brought before Inc
district Judge and bailed in May, before the
Supreme Cour. adjourned. This seems to
have been done by . sort OF consent, and it
was done without any conference with the
Chief Justice, and was matter OF which
he chad no control. The counsel on both
sides were informed by the district judge
that the Chief Justice would come in few
DAYS, and if trial had been desired on
either side it could have been had then, in
that very month Of May.
In October, 1867, an adjourned term hav,

on the thirteenth of November, the Chief
Justice caused the parties to be notified
that he would attend at that time' IN ORDER
that the trial might take place, II parties
were willing. He did accordingly attend;
but the parties were not ready. II. This ,, vas
Justice has been obliged to attend the
Supreme Court at Washington. One thing
is certain. There has been no term a.
Richmond since the capitulation OF Lee
which the Chief Justice could have at
tended, which he has not attended. And
another thing is clear, that the trial Of
Davis might at any time have taken place
that is, since his capture in May, 1865
either by military commission, when mill
tary commissions were being held for the
trial of offenders, under the authority OF the
President. or by court held by the district
Judge The Chief Justice, therefore, is II
no sense, or in the least degree responsible
for the delay which has taken place: Until
last May, ne could not try him, and since
then he mas always been ready.

NOT A HAPPY FAMLY.-William Harris
and his wife fail to dwell together in that
unity and peace they promised on their
wedding day, which was more than dozen
years ago Their unhappy home is on
Grod, near Basin street, and when quee-
items of great import were recently brought
to the family surface the pair agreed to
disagree. Harris pere heard Harris mere
Say that he was DO better than he should
be, and that was the feather which broke
the canel's back. The loving husband,
with the best intention, pulled out q re-
volver and blszed away at the wife, but
fortunately and unfortunately his aim was
bad, for the bullet, instead of severing the
thread Of Mrs. Harris life, struck twelve
year old son in the neck, making only a
flesh wound. The husband and father was
arrested.
