Mr.. SeYmour's Health.

The people OF Utica, where Mr.. SEY-
MOuR lives, recently declared themselves in
his favor for the presidency. They know
whether he is well or not. We have given
the statements OF Senator HERMAN and OF
various other persons on this point. We
have cited the fact that majority Of the
Democratic members OF Congress are in
favor OF his nomination as evidence enough
that he is in sound health. We recently re-
published most excellent speech he made
ut an Irish relief meeting held in his town
over which he presided. That speech
proved that he was not afraid Of excite
ment, and was superior to any made by any
subject. We now give an extract from &
letter from Utica to the st. Louis Dispatch
"The Governor [Seymourl himself came
to the door and welcomed the visitor with
that charming courtesy which Is so natura
with him and so fattering to its recipient
He Is a thorough Democrat, in the best sense
of the word, easily accessible, hospitablt
aud sympathetic, and his manners are the
perfection of gentleman OF the old school
No one who visits the home Of the Deer6eld
farmer (as he delights TO call himself) will
forget che charm O.. his hospitable recep
fioS.o
After telling OF some Of Mr.. SEYMoUR's
talk, the correspondent says as to his health
al have given these extracts from long
conversation with the Governor to show
your readers how keeniy alive he is to all
social end political questions, and how ac.
tive and strong are bis mental powers. But
words cannot give the force aud grace with
which he spoke and the impression be made
on the visitor. There are no signs Of ply
steal ipdEmity, except a slight deafness,
which onig manifests itself occasionally, and
at the soNnd OF - hesitating syllable. He
looks scarce sixty years OF age, though
really nine sears older. His tall form is
erect and stately, his hair Is scarcely gray.
and bis clear, hazel eve Is full of fire. He
drives himself into the city every day, In
all sorts OF weather, aud Is as robust as any
tarmer OF bis sGe in this county. All the
stories sent out sn regard TO bis i'll heath
are political canerds, and have no founds-
tion whichever. To all appearance be has a
leake OF twenty years OF life yet TO come.
Having naturally aS excellent constitution,
he has taken good care OF himself, and the
result is seen Ia his eject form. rapid walk,
and clear, penetrating voice."

circulated concerning Mr.. THDES's health
which Mr.. sEYxoUR's Opponents circulate
concerning his.

Court Expenses.

The commission appointed by Governor
Proctor to investigate the causes of the in
crease in the court expenses of the state and
to suggest means to remedy the evil has
completed its task, and the result of its in
designations appears in report of forty
three pages. This commission consisted of
the late Hon. c. W. Willard and Hon. w.
G. Veazey. Mr. Willard, preoccupied with
the revision of the laws, had, at the time
OF his death, scarcely completed that impor-
tant work, and the entire task of investigat-
ing the matter of court expenses de-
volved, by the death of Mr.. Willard, upon
Judge Veazey. The elaborate tabulation,
from the confused mass of county clerk re-
ports, of the items which go to make up the
grand total of court expenses, presenting in
a clear and Ineligible form the statistics
of the case, and the valuable suggestions
made by the commissioner, afford the legis-
ture substantial and well-considered basis
on which to construct practical legislation
for radical reform of the whole matter of
court expenses. Judge Veazey has labored
indefatigably and sagaciously in the per
formance of his difficult duty, and we venture
to say that the general efficiency of his
work will be attested by the ultimate and
substantial embodiment of his recommends
tons in the laws of the state. We shall
have occasion to refer to this report more in
detail in some future issue.

Hopeful Southern States.

Those best informed assert that there are
three southern states the Republicans may
possibly carry, namely Virginia, West
Virginia and Florida. The only doubt of
either of them arises from the fear of vio-
lence, intimidation and false count. With
a fair vote and an honest count they would
all go for Garfield and Arthur. Florida is
probably the most hopeful OF the three, but
the other two are fairly debatable so much
so that it would not be wise to forego con-
test to secure them. And contest would
pay even though immediate failure should
follow; for if the gallant men who are
fighting for Republican principles in those
states are given. the cold shoulder by their
northern friends now, they will have but
little heart to engage in future contests.
They need encouragement and sympathy
and help. They are fighting against fearful
odds, even though they are in the majority /;
for very few of them are of the "ruling
classes" and because of this fact they find
it no easy matter to resist the pressure to
swerve them from their patriotic position
and purpose. We hope, therefore, that the
national committee may find it possible to
send some of their best speakers into each
of these states. If their labors prove abor-
tive very well; but if their presence will
embolden the brave men who keep their col
ors flying in the face of their insolent enemy
and perchance break the solid south +" by
transferring these three states to the north
ern column, it will be notable victory. 1t
is an experiment worth trying, but whatever
may be the immediate result the duty is
imperative.

The Candidates Contrasted.

In the minds Of such independents as the
Springfield Republican the preference for
General Garfield over General Hancock con-
sists in this General Hancock is good
man, but General Garfield is good admin
stration. That is the difference between
the parties and the candidates, and it is a
big difference. The Republican party under
Hayes is administering the government with
a degree of efficiency, integrity and wisdom
which conspires with other elements of thrift
to make us prosperous and happy. General
Garfield as president simply takes the place
Of Hayes in controlling and improving this
vast administrative machine. If Hancock
could fit in with as little jar and disturb
ance as Garfield would, there would be little
to distinguish the candidates, except Gar
fields civil experience. But Hancock can
not, or at least will not, fit into the present
administrative machine; he goes into the
presidency to turn out the existing civil
service and appoint new, untried and unse-
lected men in their places, and, on the math-
ematical law of probabilities, he will make
a mistake at least one time in ten. Garfield
in four years would have to pick out for of
fee but few thousand men, and mostly by
promotion; Hancock will attempt at once to
pick out 100000, with nothing to promote
from. His 10000 inevitable mistakes scat
tered over the country will make his admin
istration hurricane of scandal"

A WORD TO IRIsHMEN.-John Brennan,
who has been called the most brilliant ora
tor of the Democratic party in Iowa, has
written letter announcing his purpose to
vote the Republican ticket. He says In
my humble opinion there is only one ques-
ton in this canvass in which Irishmen as
Irishmen are interested. refer to the con-
fiict between the American policy of protec-
ton to home industry and the English pol
icy of free trade. Englands policy Of free
trade has literally assisted in destroying the
industries and the consequent prosperity of
my native island. Aud England's policy
and England's agents and agencies are at
work in this country to-day, seeking to ruin
the great industries of America and the
American laboring classes. As an Ameri-
can citizen, and as an Irishman | am in ia
vor of strong healthy tariff and stalwart
tariff legislation, and as such, am opposed
TO the election OF Democratic congressman. II
