BRIEF MENrION.-Some silly pers ons, not
content with the present election excite
ments, take the trouble to set atloat rumors
that must soen afterward be contradicted,
but the contradiction does not gain one
half the circulation that the first story
does, and the idle tales die or explode by
their own dead weight. For instance, last
Friday an idiot originated rumor that
Senator Burch had been murdered ct or
near Baton Rouge. and yesterday some
other lunstic manufactured Q report that q
somewhat notorious politician in the ninth
ward had been cut into shreds. This kind
of jesting can reeult in nothing good.
Seventeen bridges in the rear of the first
police precinct are reported as being en-
tirely ont of order.

THE next thing on hand for our
party to perform is to 60 to work
and elect our home ticket. 1t is no
Sunday job, and we may as well look
at it in that light at once, and roll
up our sleeves and 60 at it at once
The nominated candidates are the
ones to cut out the work and take
the start, the good start, in this vital
home matter, and we urge them to
understand there is no time to spare.
Registration is now open and under
way, and by reading the Registrars
notice in our columns they can be
come posted, and they should at once
fix among themselves and guard
their rights With that institution.
We believe we are safe with the pres
ent Registrar, as far as justice and
fairness 60, still some body of our
party should be on watch with him
all the time. The seekers of the
honors and emoluments are the pro-
per ones to do the guarding and
watching, and let them organize their
watches at once.

The Parish Executive Committee
on Saturday, Convention day, issued
the following plain and business like
address to the members of the Con.
vention, and we regret to state that
it fell still born among them. AS q
matter Of record we are authorized
to state that the sum of four dollars
was handed in by two of the Dele,
gates, and thus we are left to see
how our party is to get along without
money and without enthusiasm:
The political campaign which will
be opened by the nominations to be
made by your Body to-day cannot
be carried on without money. Elk
penses of various kinds have to be
incurred. Heretofore, or at least
for eleven years past, Che expenses
of political campaigns have been
paid by few individuals. No gene
raj call has been made on the Dem
ocratic- Conservative voters for con-
tributions for election purposes since
the war. It is unjust that a few
should bear the whole burthen, and
if it were not unjust, 1t is now i'm
practicable because they refuse to
bear that burthen any more. Unless
therefore contributions are made
more generally than heretofore, no.
thing can be affected by your Com
mittee outside of the ordinary rou-
tine,
The Executive Committee now ap
peal to all the voters TO send John
G. Rogers, Treasurer, money con-
tributions to the Campaign Fund.
They request the Delegates to make
this matter known in the respec-
tive Wards and neighborhoods, so
that each Ward may send it's fair
proportion. The amount thus far
collected is insignificant compared
with what is needed, and one person
has given one-fourth of that. Con-
tributions should be made at once,
and it is hoped that those who are
present to day will not leave Town
without handing to the Treasurer a
donation to the Fund.

THE TREE SPIRIT.

Some Of our Republican brethren
| do not approve of the remark Of Cor
ernor Tilden, that when elected he
will enter upon the duties Of his po-
sition, "not as holiday recreation,
but very much in that spirit of con-
secration in which the soldier enters
battle" To our mind this feeling Of
the importance Of the work before
him, Of the en0rmity Of the task
which it is for him to accomplish, is
one Of the surest auguries Of the sue
cess with which we feel confident
that his efforts are destined TO be
crowned. 1t displays just appreci
alton of the obstacles that will be
thrown in his way, Of the dangers
with which his path will be beset,
of the amount Of persistent energy
that it will be necessary to expend in
the prosecution Of his work. The
great mass of corruption which is
now rolling over the country has,
in its movement, acquired such mo-
mentum that to stay it's progress
will require the expense Of greater
force than most men possess. In
addition to this impetus, depending
upon its own inertia, every man whom
the new President will find in office
will have an interest in impeding his
endeavors and pushing on the hide
Gus heap. Tilden has, however,
shown his eminent ability to do Just
such work as will be necessary for
its destruction, and we have no doubt
about his success in whatever of the
kind he undertakes. 1t cannot be
done, however, by junketing about
the country, and engaging in series
Of varied pleasures and immoral rev.
elries, like Grant, who views his
position as personal gift for past
services, and thing intended only
to yield him as much sensuous graft
fication as possible. 1t will be hard
work to uproot Grantism. Hayes
could never accomplish it. He has
neither the necessary strength Of
will or capacity for the work. Tilden
has; but he knows that to the strong
est man it wifi be q most arduous
undertaking, and he will enter upon
it in proper and becoming spirit.

ONCE more we have Lad il
Haunted in our face, with somewhat

very well, and though in bad taste

help to elect the ticket they boast,
ingly claim to have nominated. We
are certain this is rather hard jot

The Latest News.

SARATOGA, August 81. The Dem
ocratic Convention reassembled this
a. m. Mr.. John Kelly made brief
personal explanation of some re-
marks yesterday, with reference to
the Liberal party. He had no inten-
ton to give any offense to Liberals
who were acting with the Democratic
party.
Hon. VIM. Dorsheimer, not Lieut..
Governor, was placed in nomination
for that position. EApplegate, from
Westminster, here announced that
Horatio Seymour had accepted the
gubernatorial nomination. Clark
son N. Potter and Marble were also
put in nomination, but Mr.. Dorshei-
mer was renominated by reclamation.
A committee was appointed to
wait on Gov, Seymour and apprise
him of his nomination. It is report
ed that he feels constrained to obey
the call of the people and accept the
nomination. -...
UTICA, n. Y, August 31.--It is sta
tied on the very best authority, all
other reports and rumors to the con-
trary notwithstanding, that Cover
nor Seymour has in no way qualified
his positive refusal to accept the
nomination for Governor.
New YORK, Sept. 1.---Gov. Sey-
mour in an interview with reporter
at his residence in Utica, last night
said: have done everything IN my
power to prevent my nomination be-
ing made and while [ appreciate the
honor nv friends would bestow upon
me I must say now chat the same
reason of refusal TO accept this NOM
ination which then existed still ex
lists. [ have this morning received a
letter from Dr.. Churchill one of my
physicians, forbidding me making
any mental or physical effort and de-
ciaring that the acceptance of this
or any other public position would
be detrimental, if it did not prevent
my ultimate recovery, In view of
these facts it will be impossible for
me to accept the nomination, and I
so informed the gentlemen from Sar-
atoga who waited upon me this morn
ing, requesting my acceptance. I can
not see how Mr.. Faulkner could have
been misied into making the state
ment he IS reported TO have made
1t may be that what l. really said
has been misconstrued. There are
number of good men in our ranks
who are eminentlv qualified to fill
the position Of Governor. The nom
nation now rests with the State Ex-
ecutive Committee, which is friendly
to Governor Tilden. and who will no
doubt, select one Of the number who
will conciliate all interests.
New YORK, Sept IA special to
the post from Utica; says nothing
can altar Horatio Seymour's determi-
nation not to permit the use of his
name as the Democratic candidate
for Governor. He says this morn
ing that he will listen to no more
gentlemen who wish to urge the nom
ination upon him no matter who they
are. He has been made sick by the
interviews and excitement of the last
two days,
