UTICA, N Y, May 3-The Utica
Observer publishes the following let
ter from Governor Seymour in refer
snce to the Democratic nomination for
the Presidency:
UTICA, May 2, 1876.
To THE EDITOR OF THE UTICA Oh
SERVER:
I have not felt that few compli-
mentary notices have placed me in the
list of those seriously thought of as
candidates for the Presidency. While,
therefore I have constantly answered
to all those who have spoken to me on
the subject that [ could not accept a
nomination, even in the improbable
event that one should be rendered,
have not thought there was enough in
the suggestion of my name to make 1T
Il matter of good taste to say anything
over my signature, but an article in
yesterdays Utica Herald may en-
barrass others and place them in false
positions. 1t assumes that certain
delegates that it names are in favor of
my nomination and against that of Mr..
rilden. know that many of them
are his earnest supporters, while SO ne
of tuem would be in my favor if [ was
a candidate. / feel that it is due to
the delegates named, many Of whom
hre warm, personal friends, to save
them the embarrassment of denying
the statement that they go to the
National Democratic Convention with
any views of bringing forward my
name or of opposing the nomination OF
Mr. Tildsn.
1 am, very truly yours, etc.

The Morganton BLADE in giving an
account OF the trial has the following
passage:
The main reliance of the defence
rested on the testimony Of Lilly, FL
iot, Pemberton ana oth-rs who
brought in the declaration of Strange
just after the commission of the deed.
This, His Honor, Judge Watts, after
an exhaustive argument on the part of
Cot. Gather, for the defense, and
Capt. McLoud for the prosecution,
ruled y be part of the transaction
and admitted.
The declaration was made in re-
sponse to Mr.. Patterson's inquiry,
Tommy, what have you done? when
Strange said, I did 1t IN self defense-
he was coming at me with knife.
DIR. Rogers testified regarding the
post na0rtein examination of Murray s
body, that he vas ~hot IN der the left
collar bone, the bal Eanging down
ward. The Immediate cause of death
being strangulatlOn from flow OF blood.
Jhe defense agreed t. waive the
right to last speech, in consideration
of what appeared to them important
advantage of Introducing testimony as
to character. No young man in the
State, subjected to so severe scrutiny,
ever passed better examination. The
venerable Bishop of North Carolina,
DR.. Watson his pastor, Major Lynch
his teacher, DR.. Thomas his physiciaa,
and others who had known him from
childhood, gave him character
"without spot or blemish."

Judge Brooks.

The United States District Court
which has been III session il this city
for the past week, adjourned yester-
day, and Judge Bronks and the Dis
trict Attorney, Maj. Badger, took the
evening Weldon train for their res
pective homes.
When Judge is enabled in these
warped aud degenerate times TO dis
Charge the duties of his office, so as to
merit and receive the commedatiOn
of all good men, a knowledge of the
fact becomes for him a crown, as his
conciousness of rectitude is always his
shield We believe that the good
people of this section heartily bestow
upon Judge Brooks the former, and
his uniform bearing upon the Bench
gives convincing proof that he possesses
the latter. We can scarcely conceive
of a higher type of humanity, in the
secular walks of life, than the up
right Judge" who holds the scales
with an even hand, and enforces the
respect. whilst he wins the admiration
men. Judge Brooks, we believe has
risen to this most enviable height.

WASHINGTON, May2-O. E. Babcock.
it is now reported, was the prominent
official who met Miles. the safe-burglar.
at the Metropolitan Hotel on the night
of the Odd of April, 1874, and told
Miles not to be afraid, that there was
no one TO harm him; that he must 60
back and fulfill his engagement, as 1T
had already been fixed that he should
escape. The party who scared Miles
was John o. Evans, who took a hand
in the conspiracy just for fun, and
lodged himself in the small room In
the rear of the office where the safe
was located. The arrangement to per
feet the escape of Miles was entrusted
tc a. 3. Williams and j. A. w. Clar~
voc, at the head of the detective corps.
1t does not appear that Clarvoe was
willingly a party to the conspiracy, but
an obedient follower of the scheme as
perfected by Harrington and that par
ticular part carried out by Williams,
all of which will be developed IN
