WHILE discussing candidates we
confess that we can't see why,
should Horatio Seymour be found
intractable, and 1t should become
apparent that Bayard could not
carry Indiana, Gen. George B. Nc
Clellan should not be the Demo-
cratic nominee. 1t has been the
fashion to abuse "Little MAJ" ]"
without stint, but Republicans,
while indulging in the practice,
have themselves realized that he
was, with perhaps the exception OF
Gen. George III. Thomas, the best,
the brightest and most patriotic of
the Union Generals. Gen. McClel-
lan's ability to carry New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut and 1ndi-
ana can hardly be disputed by any
Democrat. He is the present Gov
ernor of New Jersey, elected by a
handsome majority, and his per-
sonsl popularity all over the Union
is paralleled by that of no other
man. All classes would feel secure
under his leadership. His nomi-
nation would evoke a spontaneous
enthusiasm without parallel.

The Creation OF Man.

We can boast one of the most in
telligent Piute Indians ever given
birth to in this sagebrush land. He
is a tall, stately, good looking fell
low, and Is the nephew of Chief
Breckenridge. His name is Joe,
and he reads tolerably well and can
write little. The other day o
Christian gentleman undertook to
tell him the story of the Creation as
given in the Bible. Joe interrupt
ed him in the midst of his narra-
tive and said: "Oh yes, my tribe
understands all about the first man.
The first man, long time ago, went
over to saltwater and made two
boys. Bye and bye the boys had a
fight aud one killed the other with
a bow and arrow. The boy what
killed the other was the father OF
all the Indians. Joe's instructor,
thinking to corner him, said: "Joe,
who made the man that made the
boys?u Odd If 1 knowW Joe

AS we intimated yesterday, it is
to be regretted that General Han
cock happened to be Military Com
mandant Of the District of Column
bia when Mrs. Surratt was execut-
ed for the crime of enjoying the
personal acquaintance of John
Wilkes Booth. But for that unfor-
tunate incident he would have
made an exceptionally strong Dem.
ocratic candidate, not on account
OF his military record, but be-
cause of his assertion OF the
superiority of the civil to the
military power during his COM
mand of the Department of the
Gulf. Our latest Eastern exchanges
contain a conversation between a
leading Catholic priest of Balti-
more and newspaper correspond
ent. In this conversation the Rev.
erend gentleman states positively
and OF his own knowledge. that
Gen. Hancock personally declined
to allow the last hours of Mrs. Sur
raft to be solaced by the ministra-
tions OF a clergyman of her own
church. The mere fact that such
an impression had taken hold of a
large portion Of the Catholic voters
of the United States would rule q
candidate out as not in any sense
available. That fact Of itself would
decide the vote of the State of New
York adversely to the Democracy.
