[CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK.] ?
-WILLIAM H. SEWARD. '
- 1
I bare never seen a more per* t
feet politician than William II. ]
Seward. Bnt he is greatly more and i
higher than a mere politician. lie i
is a Statesman of the first order of ]
intellect and attainments. He pos- f
Besses a great mind, and is oapa- i
ble of grasping great national qwes- 1
tions. As a Statesman, he mar t
see, and does see, every question If
in its true light and bearing, but|<
as a politician, moat dexterous and 1
adroit, well skilled in human na- i
tnre and the practical affairs of the 1
world, he may see, and will see c
the same question in a very dif- c
fercnt light. lie is a tall, spare t
man, with a long tace and nose, 1
and a head not very remarkable, r
His manners are free and easy and c
cordial. (
When I first met Mr. Seward, 1
after the war was over, I had iust \
left the Attorney General, Mr.
Speed, who complained to me, in
very unkind terms, ot a speech I j
had made a few days previously. (
I mentioned the fact to Mr. Sew- <
ard. Ho replied that he himself c
had jnst read my speech carefully, f
and that he thought it a very good <
speech, considering the stand point .
fiom which I made it. u You <
spoke1' said he, "for South Carolina, ,
and not for the Northern people. (
When I was Governor of New ,
York, I made speeches which were [
severely criticised in Charleston, ,
but I said, what the devil have the- t
people of Charleston to do with my {
speeches? They were made for t
New York, and not for South Car- }
olina.1' Mr. Seward is fond of a ,
joke, and has a great deal of wit <.
and humor. lie likes to tell a story \
on himself as well as others. He 5
told me of meeting, many years
ago, a young gentleman from
South Carolina, at the Virginia
Springs, who indulged very freel}'
in his abusoof Martin Van Bnrcn. .
uThis,"said Mr. Seward, 441 en- j
joyed very heartily, and found my ,
companion a good Whig. I }
thought then, that, as he had h^n .
abusing 'the great man of New f
York,' much to my satisfaction, I ,
would gratify him, as a brother t
Whig, in the same way?by abus- ,
ing irr. Calhoun a little, 1 the groat r
man ot South Carolina.' But, to '
rny surprise, he instantlv flew into t
a great passion, and swore that no i
man should abuse Mr. Calhoun in ,
his presence. I began to think j
that I should have to fight the fol c
low before I got away from the
Springs." :
Whilst acting as Provisional
Governor, I wrote Mr. Seward, j
complaining, in very strong terms, ,
of the oonduci ot the negro troops
in South Carolina. lie replied {
that he knew it was very offensive (
to the people ot South Carolina, to t
see their former slaves stationed
amongst them as soldiers; but *
that, according to the army regu- c
lations, no difference could be
made amongst the troops on ao- N
count of color. I replied, that we (
did not object to the oolor of the B
Federal troops so much as to their j
atrooions conduot. lie then wrote t
me that as soon as South Carolina ,
organized her State Govermrient, \
all the Federal troops Ghould bo
withdrawn. Unfortunately this (
promise was not kept, but Mr ^
Seward is not to blatne. He was nt
terly opposed to the Congressional (
policy pursued towards the South- *
ern States. He is too great a States- j
man I""-" 1 1 J

poti&m and oppression. I retnetn ?
Der receiving a letter from Gov y
jrnor Hammond, of South Caroli- it
ia, shortly after he took his seat ^
n the Senate of the Unite<i States, (j
n which he stated that Mr. Sew |,
ird was tho only Senator from the *
North, who was really and truly a
statesman, ami had thoronglily w
educated himself as such by study ^
ind reflection. p
When I first saw Mr. Seward, a
te was just recovering from his
rounds inflicted by the assassin, ,j
it the time of President Lincoln's ft
nnrder. ife had not long previ (
>usly lost his wife. X wished some c(
taper prepared the Rext day. He q
aid, 44 no, I must go to chnrch tosorrow,
for 1 have not been since j(
ay wife's death." Thinking he ai
ad mistaken the day of tho week, p
said to him?44 do you go to i
hurch on Saturday ?" * Oh no," c|
e replied, I thought to morrow j
as Sunday." Mr. Seward was p
nnn a m?hrtol o.
?v?wuvi iu \jourpft| |jt
nd he, good hnmoredly, enquired ^
t a delegation from that State, c,
rho called to see him, whether any
f his pupils were amongst thoin. w
lr. Seward expected the nomina e(
ion of the Republican party for w
president, at the time it was given 8
:o Abraham Lincoln. Bat being )
appointed Secretary of State, un c
ier Mr. Lincoln, he was in fact, (
from his greatly superior States- t
nauship, the President, lie was r
continued in office by President t
Johnson, and he has managed the s
State Department for the last eight ?
rears with consummate ability, r
Recently he has made purchases of d
erritory for the United States Irom c
Russia and Denmark, which shows p
m enlarged Statesmanship. In a f
ipeech which -lie made nine or ten s
/ears since, he assumed the bold e
jronna, that the United States
rnttft hare Canada and Mexico, ?
jefore the measure of her ambiion
was filled. Like most of our
treat Statesmen in the Inst half ;
entnry?Clay, Calhonn, Webster, f
Douglas, and others?Mr. Seward c
vill nevor probably reach the v
Presidency. The chief magistrate 0
>f this great Republic, it seems, is
lestined not to be filled again by [
he first Statesmen of the country. s
Hen ot inferior intellect, who have ?
iot made themselves prominent by 0
iriginating any great measure, are
:ons derea more available in a f,
Presidential.race. They have less \\
veight to carry. 1,
EDWIN M. STANTON.
I was not favorably impressed 1
>y Mr. Stanton, when I first called I
o see him as the Secretary of War. ?
Governor Orr and five or six othsr
gentlemen from South Carolina ''
iccotnpanied ine in my call on Mr. b
Stanton. President Johnson, af f
;er hearing my account of the con- 1
lit ion of South Carolina, was so ^
nuch pleased with it, that lie re- 1
[nested me to call on Mr. Seward,
\nd tell him about the willingness 1
if the people ol South Carolina to '
ibolish slavery. reform their consti- c
ntion and return to the Union. I 1
bought I would have the same 1
alk with the Secretary of War,
md that lie would be equally in- 1
crested with the Secretary of '
State, in hearing good news from f
he Palmetto State. lie listened 1
iwhile, and seemed indifferent to 3
ny narrative, lie stopped ine to 1
inquire what had become of Frank
Pickens. I replied thai Governor '
Pickens was still residing cm his
|ilantation, near Edgefield village, 1
n South Carolina ; and resumed 1
uy statements as to the feelings '
md purposes of the people ot my ^
State, lie again enquired about 1
tome one else, and 1 saw that he
vas not interested in my report to
lie War ofiice, and soon after t
vards, wc took our departure.? i
Twelve months afterwards, I call 6
;d on him again, to settle my ac- t
onntsns Provisional Governor.? c
;Io seemed more polite, and treat- [
id tne with more civility. I was [
mpressed, however, with his tal- 1
ints and ability as a man and an s
itticer. lie is a stout, good look- t
ng gentleman, very calm and dig i
lified in his manners, and has a c
ine head and face, lie managed t
.he War Department with great t
Ability, and Mr. Seward said his i
idministration wan almAot

Dolonel Viiilips, of Mobile, told mo j
bat be and Stanton wore law \
partners in Washington, jnst be- t
ore the war broke out, and that
jtanton was then more of a Sunt linn
mat) in bis feelings tlian lie
vas himself. It is a well known
act, that he said to Senator Brown, 1 J
is he wu6 leaving the Senate Cham
ier to return to Mississipp alter I
hat State had seceded, that he did (
tot see how he could do otherwise.

erts in politics, as well as in reli* I
ion, have to show more zeal and t
uerest to prove the sincerity of I
iieir conversion, which is general li
y doubted bv friends and toes. d
This has been remarkably the li
ase with Edwin M. Stanton, who t
'as originally a Democrat, and c
ittornov General under President it
tuchanan. Ho has persecuted
nd pursued with a tiery zeal,
lose at the Soutli, with wtiom he c
eeplv sympathised whilst ho was n
Democrat. The War. Depart- J!
lent was the reward of his politi
d ajKistasy. He remainded in the
'abinet of President Johnson for !
10 purpose ot thwarting his pol;y
and snWcrving the usurpations c
nd despotfem of the Radicals. ?
[q did what Senator Sherman, a c
lader of the Badioal party, do- t:
lared no honorable man would c
o, remain in the Cabinet of a r
resident, aftor an intimation that ji
is presence and services, as an s
Jviser of his ohiat, wore not ac* ti
sptable to him. But the most ro- tl
larkahle fact, that has ever occur,
i in the history of government, c
as his advising President John
on, that tho act of Congress deriving
the President of the right
>i dismissing a member of the
Cabinet was unconstitutional, and
hen attempting to hold his Cabilet
appointment under this act, af
er his dismissal from office. It
hows two qualities which Mr.
itauton must possess in an emilent
degree, boldness and utter
lestitution ot shame. But instead
if removing the President, and disgracing
the chief magistrate of a
;reat Republic, he removed hhnelt,
and hue retired covered with
ternal infamy.

stories told on the occasion
rero the following hard crust kind
fyarns:
Bill said : I know a big tree
hat 6even tncn chopped at for
even weeks, and then they took a
lotion to go round and look at the
>ther side. They traveled four
lays and then came to a party of
orty, who had been chopping at
t for four months, and not cut
lalf through it }-et.
Torn raid : I remember it well
t was an oak. and five million
jogs were fattened venrly on the
icorns that fell from it!
Sam 6aid: The tree was at
ength cut down, and live hundred
aw mills have been working on it
or two years, and it is not halt cut
ip yet. Two new towns, five
iridges, and i early a thousand
>arns have been built with the
timber it has produced. The chips
n cutting it down, when closely
leaped, measured four million
jords, and have supplied two furtaces
with charcoal for the last
wo years!
Jack said: Deacon Brown aferwards
dug out the stump, and
le turned the place into a pasture
or his stock. He kept so many
tows on it that ho made, every
ear, a million pounds ot butter
md nearly as much cheese!
Now came Joe Moore's turn,

Tiib education bill which passed
lie House recently, was originally
ntreduced by Mr. Perce, of Misissippi,
chairman of the Commitec
ou Education and Labor. It
lonsccrates the public lands to
niblic education. One-halt ot the
iroceeds of the sales of public
ands are distributed annually
unong the different States during
he first ten years upon a basis of
lliteracy, as shown by the present
:cnsus; the other half invested,
ind the interest to be used for edicational
purposes. No State loses
t share of the fund by legal enactnents
forbidding mixed schools.
\fter ten yea*s the distribution
vill be upon the basis of popula
ion instead of illiteracy.
A I'KKACiikr, whose onstom it
vas to indulge in very long sernons,
exchanged with ono who
ireached short ones. At about
he usual time for dismissing, the
uidionoe began to go out, until
icarly all bad left, when the 6exon
walked up to the pulpit stairs
ind said to the preacher in a whis?er
:
44 When yon have got through,
