As to Gov. SeymOur's patriotism, per
haps it is pretty well set forth in his little
speech to the July draft rioters, in the
streets of New York, but we will make an
extract from his communication to the
Government, in which he insisted that the
draft should be postponed till the court,
should sis upon the eonstitutionality of the
questlon--the rebels all the time gathering
their forces, and in every way endeavoring
to cripple the government. Here is the
extract: .-
1T is believed by at least one-half of the
people of the loyal States that the Conserip-
tiOn Act, which they are called upon to
obey because it is on the statute-bOOk, is in
itself a violation of the supreme .constitu-
tional law. There is a fear and suspicion
that, while they are threatened with the
seyerest penalties of the law, they are to
be deprived Of its protection.
do not dwell upon what l believe would be
the consequence of a violent, harsh policy
before the cOnstitutionality of the Act is
tested. You can scan the immediate fu-
ture as well as l. The temper of the peO-
pie today you can readily learn"
To this President Lincoln responded:
Il do not object to abide the decision of
the United States Supreme Court, or Oft the
Judges thereof, or the constitutionality of
the Draft law. In fact, should be willing
to facilitate the obtaining of it. But lean
not eOnset to lose the time while it is being
obtained. We are contending with an en-
emy, who, as 1 understand, drives every
able-bodied man he can reach into his ranks,
very much as butcher drives bullocks into
a slaughter-pen. No time is. wasted, no
argument is used.

Mooney said he would Oficiate in
my place"
''That was kind of him.
"But wait a minute. When I
/ got back and called at Maria's house
about II p. ~, l found the party
sitting around the parlor looking
very serious, except the bride who
seemed kinder frightened. What's
the trouble? said 1; what's happen
/ ed?''
ssWell the fact is says that
cheeky Mooney, "there's been a most
singular accident, the queerest mis-
take you ever heard OF in your life.
You see, we were rehearsing the
wedding service as usual, and I was
holding Maria's hand just like this,
when young Bings got sorter absent
minded, so to speak, and the first
thing we knew he pronounced us
man and wife in regular form, and
now be says we are married in real
earnest. Too bad, isn't it,"
singular mistake, said the edi-
tor.
"But the worst of it was the way
that false-bearted hussy took it. She
said it was pretty hard, but what
couldn't be cured must be endured,
and that she supposed they couldn't
get a divorce under year anyhow,
and lot of stuff like that"
appeared resigned to her fate, as
it were?"
Exactly; and then Mooney chip
ped in with a lot of stuff about net
crying over split milk, and said he'd
take the furniture off my hands and
pay for the ring. Said he'd give his
note for 'em. Cheek? W6v. that
man has more gall than a pawnbro-
ker's clerk, and want you, Mr.. Ed
itor, to show him and his red headed
big-fOOted wife up the worst wav.
Accident, inGeedl Why, it is the
plainest put-up job ever saw in the
whole course of my life. Just let
'em have it in italics, if you please,
and III take five hundred extra cop
ies!"
The editor said he'd attend TO it.
and has since written to Mooney to
say that position as a reporter was
always open to him on his go-ahead
journal.

We have heard a great deal from Eastern

anything more interesting has ever been
told than the following story of Goldsmith
Maid: Recently Charley Cochrane, who
was for many years her faithful groom,
arrived from California, and wishing to
see the grand old trotting mare and her
colt, called on Mr.. Smith, her owner, TO
obtain his permission to visit Fashion Stud
farm in New Jersey. Mr.. Smith accom-
panied Cochrane to the farm, and on ar
riving there remarked: Charley, the
Maid is very jealous of her colt, is very
cross, and will permit no one to approach
it," Cochrane arranged that Goldsmith
Maid should hear his voice before she saw
him, and although they had not seen each
other for two years a loud Whinny present
" assured the visitors that the mare had
recognized the mans voice. COchrane next
showed himself, when touching scene &C.
Cured. The old queen of the turf, who
for months would not allow any one to ap-
proach her, making use of both heels and
teeth if it was attempted, rushed with
bound to her old friend, forgetting even
her colt, and rubbed her head upon his
shoulder, her nose in his face, played with
his whiskers, and showed by her every ac-
tiOn that her heart was full Of Joy to see
him. Directly the colt cameup to them, and
old mare was deHghed when Charley placed
his hand on the little fellow. When
Cochrane left the place the mare followed
him to the gate, whinnylng for him even
after he had passed out of her sight.

''broken up" young man coming in.

of masher, as it were. He said
he'd try to make it lively and pleas
ant for the bridesmaids.
"Why, he actually made love to
oil four. Got the other groomsmen
furious by flirting with the whole
lot. Told 'em it was the correct
thing in Europe for the groomsmen
to kiss the bridesmaids all round be-
fore and after the ceremony, and
that they ought to meet and prac-
tice to get the thing in good run

"Did they practice?' asked the
editor laying down his pen.
"Did they! why it was just dis
gusting the way they went on ev-
cry evening. To see that william
Mooney pretend to steer down the
aisle and back up against the chan
eel rail, and then, when the mock
service was over, kiss and paw
around the girls, would have made

"Made love to the bride, eh?"

The lessons of the Maine and California
elections are just what the Solid South are
in want Of. Could Southern sectionalism be
brought to know with certainty that defeat
at the polls, within the three quarters of
the country not included in the Southern
Confederacy, was the only result to be
looked for, the information would be yalu-
able bevond measure. The South might
then trim sail to something reasonable and
patriotic, instead as now wasting its ener-
giesin hunting mp something to quarrel with
and FIRE the Southern heart with feelings Of
acrimony and rebellion.

Mr.. Secretary Sehurz made the state
meut that he did not think the Southern
people contemplated rebellion. This as
sertion seems to have proved rather graft.
fying to some Democratic journals of the
country. Although much of the some
spirit which prepared the way for and ac-
tuated the rebellion was ripe, especially in
the extra session of Congress. 1t may not
be that the current of opinion sits in that
direction, if blythe term rebellion is meant
forcible resistance to the Federal govern
ment. The results of. an effort of that
kind are too fresh in mind to encourage
a repetition Of its experiences so soon. 1t
has been tried and disaster followed
grievous disaster. Many of the Southern
Democrats have had all they.wa of thai.
Secession and the establishment OF a sepa-
rate government may not be what they
have in view. War rather legislated those
objects out of existence. This they admit.
Bat payment of damages for losses in
CARED during the war, and a fraternsl
equalization of bounties and pensions
among the soldiers of the blue and the
gray are among the objects to be accom-
plished Tits is not to be done by ''re-

CALIFORNIA ELECTION. net results
ofthe California eleetion-pivotal as is-are
highly favorable to the Republicans. The
plurality of Perkins, Republican candidate
for Governor, and of all the State ticket
which he heads, will be between 1000 and
$4,000. If there is any doubt of the cleo
tion of any one of the four Congressman,
it is in the case OF Horace Davis, who was a
candidate for reelection in the First, or San
Francisco District. As the returns from
that city are yet in confused state, later
news may change the result. But it is now
believed that the Republicans have elected
among the multitude of candidates in San
Francisco. Kalloch's election is, of course,
a foregone conclusion, and it would be pref
ty equally divided among the Working Men
and the Republicans, the latter having the
important advantage of electing majority
of the Board of Supervisors. As most Of
the Judicial officers chosen were on the tick
cts Of all parties, the result of part of the
canvass will be regarded as non-political.
But the Republican victory in the State is
substantial and important. ~ Y Times.

ANOTHER PACIFIC LINE.-A St. Louis dis

good reason to believe that there isa move
ment on foot among railroad men since the
consolidation of the Wabash and St. Louis,
Kansas City & Northern roads with view
to providing another line to the Pacific
coast in opposition to Jay Gould's scheme,
The plan most feasible and favorble seems
to be for the Pennsylvania, Pan Handle &
Vandalia roads, now forming one line from
New York to the Mississippi River, to make
a permanent connection with the Missouri,
Pacific & Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
and thus make a through route from ocean
to ocean, equal or superior to any now in
operation. The matter is understood to be
now in the hands of prominent railroad
managers in the East, and the probabilities
are that some definite steps will soon. be
taken in this direction.
