The New York Tribune OF yesterday
gives an emphatic denial to what it
calls the "Binghampton Republicans S
roorback," the whole gist and force OF
which was that bargain or compact,
or some sort of arrangement, had been
made between Horatio Seymour and
some one else, whereby Seymour was to
be made Secretary of State in case OF
Greeley's election to the Presidency
For a year prior to the Cincinnati Con-
vention men of divers politics had
written to Mr.. Greeley suggesting him
as a candidate for the Presidency; but
the Tribune says he wrote to no person
whatever, except in reply to those So
licitations, and never named himself,
except to say that he did not think the
orposition to General Grant could be
concentrated on MIN (Mr. Greeley.
The Tribune adds:


"If any one has any letters from him
of a different tenor from these, no mat
ter how confidential, we are authorized
BY Mr.. Greeley to challenge their pub
lication.


"As to those recently pretending to
give the substance of any letter written
by him, we are also authorized to pro-
nounce their statements grossly untrue.
He never invited any person to visit
New York in order to confer with him
on the subject OF the Presidency. And
be never invited any person to visit
Horatio Seymour, or any one else, In
order to win his favor or secure bis sup
port for any office whatever. We repeat
that, while quite number have ad.
dressed Mr.. Greeley on this subject, and
some OF them have evinced disposition
to run where they were not sent, Mr..
Greeley has pursued the even tenor OF
his way, and oftner repelled than invited
proffers of support for the Presidency.
If any one has letters from him which
are alleged to conflict with this state
ment, now produce them or be forever
silent"

New YORK, July 24.-There has

Executiv. Democratic Committee since

The rooms used by the Committee are

the most extensive and luxurious Of all
the campaign headquarters in New
York. The Erprsss says of this Dem"
ocratio move: at is proposed to keep
up q distinct organization and to en-.
gineer a distinct campaign, although
at all times cheerfully cooperating
with the National Liberal Republican
Committee. This is out Of Difference to

United States, who neither wish nor
will permit the old organization and

Our genial friend, Major John W. Swords
finds it necessary to intimate to the Liberal
parish convention that he is not desirous
that his name be placed before it as can
didate for civif sheriff. Some of his partial
friends, who, by the way, are thanked for
their good wishes, have been urging the
claims of the major upon the convention,
with poor prospect Of success. cjs not
likely that any one who is or has been
prominently identified as a Republican Will
be offered any important place in the grand
rattle for spoils about to take place among
the parish Democracy. And as Mr.. Swords
is nor emulous of complimentary vote
under such circumstances, he asks his
friends to withdraw his name.

The Conservative convention met las
evening in Turner Hall at six o'clock, Mr.
Archibald Mitchell in the chair.


The usual crowd present in the lobby.


A communication from the Reformerf
was read containing specification of the
platform and resolutions in relation to con
ference.


Received and referred to the conference
committee


The notification of the appointment by
the Independent Republicans OF confer.
ence committee, was read. A motion was
made to lay on the table.


This was amended by a motion that it be
received and referred to the conference
committee. 1t was finally referred.


Mr.. Joseph Collins, on behalf of the con-
ference committee, reported that meeting
would be held at seven o'clock and PROPOSE
tions received.


The Reform party communicated the fact
that they were unwilling to withdraw the
names of their candidates until it was seen
what kind of men it was proposed to sub
stitute IN their places, and also enclosed an
extract from their platform
The proposition received from the Lib
erals the committee were not authorized to
act upon, Mr. Collins said while it was the
opinion of the gentlemen that the Reform
ers' proposition could not be acted on at all.
He asked that the convention either extend
the powers or give further instructions to
the committee.


An appeal for cash was made by the
president, the parish committee being en-
tireIy out of funds.


A number of motions were made which
resulted in adjournment until ten o'clock
Friday, to await the action of the various
conference committees.

We find the following paragraph in. an
exchange:


A Connecticut man bought a ticket to the
Rhode Island State fair, but by mistake
went into furniture warehouse and wan
dered around for a time. He said he didnt {
think it amounted to much for a State fair,
but then he took into account what State it
was in.


If the same man had come to New Or

magnificent furniture warehouses of Mr.. J.
B. Hubbard, corner of Rampant and Per

entirely different opinion, especially if he
had inquired the price of the goods, which
are sold wonderfully cheap.

At breakfast there is more or less hur-
ry. The mind, refreshed with sleep, is
elastic, confident, eager to encounter the
labors and duties which have come with
the morning sunlight, and there is little
inclination to talk or think of other mat
ters than those which are connected
with the work of the day. 1t must be
conceded, that in this country the tea
hour is the fme. and the tea table the
place for the introduction Of topics of
conversation which require forgetful-
ness of everything that is personal or
selfish. 1t is peculiarly the time and
place for social converse upon the VOL
derful and beautiful things in Nature,
which modern research has so clearly
unfolded, and which when understood
are SO well calculated to make us not
only wiser but better.-Journal Of Chem

The TEA HOUR The tea hour, in thou
sands of happy homes, is the hour OF
the day looked forward to with most in
tense delight, as it calls around the ta-
bic the members of the household after
the various cares and labors of the day
are completed, and season of rest and
social intercourse is anticipated. The
dining hour is with most people the
time when the appetite is craving, and
the sense of hunger is apt to beget a
considerable amount ofsimpatience OF
perhaps fretfIlness.


If there is any hour in the day when
the man of business is unamiable or
testy under his own roof, it is just be-
fore dinner, when he is waiting for the
signal which is to summon the family
to the dining room. Children. guided
by their quick instincts. seldom ask for
favors at such unpropitious moments
and often family pets, the dogs and cats,
learn to skulk away into some quiet cor
ner, and wait until the meal has fairly
begun, before they venture to intrude
themselves into chairs, or come within
reach of the paternal boots. a


Dinner may be called the business
meal; it is the one which requires the
most labor and expense to- provide, and
it is too apt to,be partaken of when the
mind is loaded with the business per
plexities of the day. In the nature Of
things it cannot be the season when the
family shut themselves in from the out
side world, and tarnth current Of theiI
thoughts upon. pleasant themes.

EXCELLENT VARNIsH FOR HARNESS.
Pulverize and put in a jug or bottle half
a pound to pound gum-shellac, cover
with good alcohol and cork tightly. Put
the mixture in warm place. In about
two days, if shaken frequently, the gum
will be dissol ed and ready for use. If
the liquid appears as thick as thin mo-
lasses, add more alcohol. To one quart
of the varnish add one ounce of good
lamp black and an ounce of gum-cam-

THE ALDINE, while issued with all the

1t is an elegant miscellany of pure, light and

the rarest specimens OF artistic skill, in black

affords fresh pleasure to its friends the real
value and beauty OF THE ALDINE will be
most appreciated after it has been bound up at
the close of the year. While other publications
may claim superior chea ness as compared with
rivals OF a similar class, THE ALDINE is n un-
