Gossip Of Seward Family.

Gath's Telegram from Chicago:
Gen. Knapp of Auburn, N. Y,
is one of the delegates. / asked
him if he remembered how Seward
received the news Of his defeat IN
1860. cit was crushing blow to
him. said Gen. Knapp. ''He re.
covered from it, however, and took
some part in the campaign. He
fnlly expected the nomination.. The
first news he heard to the contrary
was the telegraphing of Lincoln's
name"
I asked Gen. Knapp how Sew.
ards family stood. t'Gen. William
H. Seward, his son, occupies the
old homestead at Auburn. He went
into the war and rose to a brigadier
general by fighting, not by favor:
Mr.. Seward left about $50, 600, and
his brother Augustus, paymastsr in
the army, died more recently, leav.
ing about 5000, 900. Neither Gen.
Seward or his brother Fred take
more than a passing interest in pol
itics.''
Sheridan Shook relates that when
Seward was beaten in 1860 Thurlow
Weed sat down and cried, saying
it was the first time he had been out.

Another Villainy.

Sometime ago, the agent Of a Phi
ladelphia house visited Minnesota
and exhibited a patent pitch used
for pitching the inside of beer bar
rels, and which was enrolled SO ex-
travagantly that a number Of
brewers gave their orders, and
among them were Capt. Bierbauer
of this city, and probably one or
two others whose names we have
not learned. In due time the pitch
arrived, Capt. Bierbauer knocked
out the bung Of his barrel, but find
ing that tar was a very prominent
ingredient, and not being what was
represented to him he notified the
firm that it was not what he bought
and it was subject to their order.
No answer was received, but in the
course of time he was notified that
the firm would draw upon him at a
certain date, the OATH, and hoped
the Capt. would honor the draft.
A day or two afterwards the Capt.
was served with a summons and
complaint to appear at the June ses-
sion Of the u. S. Court and answer
the charge of infringing upon the
patent Of another firm by using the
pitch. There is but little doubt
that the whole matter is put up
job between the sellers of the pitch
and those who sue for Infringement,
to yictimize the brewers, and the
10. S. Courts and patent laws are
the willing instruments through
which such infamies can be success
fully enforced. Fortunately for
Capt. Bierbauer, he has not used the
compound, which remains in the
Darrell, untouched, but he will be
put to considerable expense in going
to st. Paul and employing counsel
to prove his innocence.

The Speakership.


 There are several gentlemen named for the Speakership of the House. Prominent among the number are William C. Case, Esq.,, of Hartford county, and John M Hall, Esq, of Windham county, both able men, and either would if elected, bring high order of talent to the discharge of the duties incident to the office. While we speak thus justly of these gentlemen we call attention to the fact that Fairfield has elected Representative John H. Perry, Esq.-whose friends will urge his selection on the ground, first, that it is about time that Fairfield county should have some recognition for the important work it has performed in wiping out Democratic ma jorities, and turning defeat into victory during the last three years. Second, because Mr. Perry Is every way qualified to fill the bill. Liberally educated, graduate of Yale College and Columbia Law School; lawyer who stands high in his profession, the Houae can not find better man for the place. Mir. Perry has twice been a member of the Gen. eral Assembly-in the years 1877 and 1878. In 1877 he was chairman of that most inn portant ommittee-Incorporati as well as chairman of Contested Elections and member of Military Affairs In 1878 he was chairman of the Committee on Banks Sec- ond to none in the House, and frequently called to the Speakers chair, he invariably showed his ability in presiding over the de- Alterations of the House in each of these years. A clean, pure man, free from rings and chques, he can be trusted with every in terest.
 We bespeak for him the unanimous sup port of Fairfield county, and say to the mem bers of the House from other counties, you cannot do better than ratify the choice of Fairfield county
