Utica for quite number OF years ;
and the world and his party have
only caught glimpses OF him
through the interviews Of enterpris-
ing newspaper men, who have oc-
casionally elcited some observations
from him, not particularly remark
able in themselves, but which have
been framed and hung up, as it
were, for the general admiration.
The copy maiden has attractions
which other descriptions Of maidens
do not possess. When the coyness
of Mr.. Seymour evaporates, as it
will in case he becomes candidate,
his attractions will have, in great
part, vanished and the overdone
enthusiasm will react strongly be-
fore election day, for really there is
nothing in him to give ground for
extraordinary popularity. There
are better and ablsr men than he in
the Democratic party. Gov. Sey-
mour's record is not unassailable in
a Presidential light, by any means.
His wartime record is not eyhilara-
ting and his "sweet reasonablness"
with the New York city rioters, at
the time they we're hanging negroes
to lamp posts, was far from inspiring.
Mr.. Seymour's age and health, both
initiate against his candidacy;
and it is owing, il reports are true,
more to the iDjunctions Of his physi-
clans than to anything else that he
has kept aloof from the excitement
of politics for Q number of years
past. There was . season when
Mr.. Seymour's brain was said to be
affected, so as to be unable to en-
lure excitement OF such q nature as
involve in . Presidential campaign.

GARFIELD AS A SOLDIER.

The Democrats have opened fire
on General Gsrfield's war record.
They know little about it or they
would not have made such a mistake.
Did any one ever hear a soldier or
soldiers friend say aught against
Garfield's courage, enterprise. or ef-
ficiency as a soldier? Did General
Rosencrans ever speak other than
words of highest commentator OF
the tireless officer who was for 50
many years his chief of staff? Did
he not give him full credit for sns-
gestions and plans as to important
campaigns. x:
There were twenty or thirty
thousand disheartcned soldiers gath
cred around Thomas on the second
day of the battle at Chickamauga
when Garfield came with the all
important information that caused
a new formatian of lines. Did any
one ever hear q single one of those
thirty thousand soldiers say that he
was not proud of Garfeld's courage,
persistence, and pluck.
In 1862, Giddings' old district in
Ohio elected Garfield to Congress.
He told his constituents that he
could not leave the army. They
replied that they would keep the
place open for him, and they did
until December, 1868, when he took
his seat.
He had just been promoted Major
General, and had he been after hon
ors simply he would have remained
in the army. But the soldiers and
officers of the old Army of the Cum
berland and his old supporters at
home wanted him in Congress, and
he went. Was there any wrong in
this The Democrats may blaze
away at Garfeld's war and Congress
sional record until ,hey are tired,
and then the old soldiers, the men
who know al about it, will rise and
give them volly that will make
them wish they had never touched
upon the question.

THE first speech that General
Garfield made in the House Of Rep
resentatives was in reply to Alex.
Long, of Cincinnati, who advocated
the recognition of the Southern
Confederacy. In the course OF his
remarks Garfield said:
But now, when tens of thousands
of brave souls have gone up to God
under the shades of the flag !; when
thousands more, MANNED and shat
tered 10 the contest, are sadly await
ing the deliverance of death; now
when three years of terrible warfare
have ragged over us, when armies
have pushed the rebellion back over
mountains and rivers and crowded
it into narrow limits until roll of
fire guards it; now. when the up.
lifted hand of magnetic people is
about to hurl the bolts Of conquer
ing power upon the rebellion ; now,
in the quiet of this hall. Matched in
the similar dark treason, there rises
q Benedict Arnold and proposes to
surrender all up, body and spirit,
the nation and the flag, its genius
and it's honor, now and forever, to
the accursed traitors of our country!
And that proposition comes-God
forgive and pity my beloved State
it comes from q citizen Of the time
honored and loyal commonwealth
of Ohio. Il inplore you, brethren
in the House, to believe that not
many births ever gave pangs to my
mother State such as she suffered
when that traitor was born. l beg
you not to believe that on the soil
of that State another such growth
has ever deformed the face of nature
and darkened the light Of Gods day.

Kinsella, editor of the Brooklyn

field, several years ago, though q
prominent Democrat, says; at
gressional associates of any party
that he is not an honest man in a

revive the exploded Credit Mobilier
and De Gollyer charges. General
Gsrfeld's whole life is sufficient

teresting ones in the history of
Madison. First we have been hon
ored, entertained and benefited,
financially and mentally If not spirit
ually, by the session Of the Presby-
terian General Assembly. The oc-
cssicn called hither galaxy Of
noted divines such as q town is
rarely favored with more than
once in century perhaps. The
session was of full two weeks, on
almost every day of which time op-
portunities were afforded for hearing
words Of wisdom and eloquence of
the highest character. On the two
Sundays Of their stay the various
pulpits of the city we're supplied by
members of the Assembly, and at
tracted congregations to the church
es which resident clergymen are
seldom able to draw. The Assembly
and its attaches numbered nearly
1000 people; representing every
State of the Union, and many for
eign countries. The residences of
the city we're generally transformed
to boarding houses; the hotels being
unable to accommodate but q small
portion of the visitors.
Following close on the heels of
the great assembly came the session
of the Wisconsin Grand Lodge of
Odd Fellows, which terminated On
Friday last. The tbree-link fellows
came in hundreds strong, filling
much Of the space vacated by the
Presbyterians. Many brought their
wives with them, and all seemed
pleased with their visit, despite the
unfavorable weather which prevail
ed during their stay. Iowa county
was represented by about score
members. among them DR.. and Mrs.
Vivian, Josiah Jacka, N. Treweek,
John Eden and A. Huxtabie of
Mineral Point.
A severe wind and rain storm
passed over the city Friday night,
causing considerable alarm, but doing
little damsge. Old residents say it
was the heaviest wind ever known
here. People generally were arous-
ed from their sleep, and were ap-
prehensive Of serious consequences
many families retreating to their
cellars for safety. Probably storm
of the same character would have
caused greater CONSERVATION in Min
eral Point; and the apprehension
here was no doubt heightened by
the tornado in Iowa county in 1873,
and at other places more recently,
of which the people of the West
generally have read and heard SO
much.
Among the notable events of the
recent past was the marriage Of Miss
Iyah Benson and Doctor Without on
Tuesday evening, June LIST. The
ceremony was performed at 8 o'clock
in the NJ. +. Church. A full hour
before the appointed time the spac-
:uus room was crowded aud on the
arrival of the bridal party the aisles
had TO be cleared to admit their
passage. Rev. DR.. Benson, father
of the bride officiated. assisted by
Rev. d. Huntley of Appleton Uni
versity. Miss Spensley of Mineral
Point stood as first bridesmaid, and
young lady of this city as second

themselves as groomsmen. Judge
