Engflsh's Letter of .Acceptance. LNDIANAPOLIS, July 30.-Hon. Wm. H. English transmitted the fol lowing letter of acceptance.of the nom ination of candidate for Vice Presi dent to the Committee of. Notification. to-day : - To. Hon. John W. Steven'son, Pres iden-of -onvention;.Bon. John P. Stockton, Chairman, and other members of Committee of Aotifica tion : GENTLEMEN- -I have the honor to reply to your letter of the 13th inst., informing me that I was unanimously nominated for Vice-President of the. United States by the late Democratic= National Convention, which assembled at .Cincinnati. As foreshadowed io the verbal remarks made by me at the time of the delivery of your letter, 1 have now to say that I accept the high trust with the realizing sense of its re sponsibility and am profoundly grateful for the honor-conferred. I accept the nomination upon the platform of prin ciples. adopted by the Convention, whieh_ I cordially approve, and I ac .cept it quite as much because of my faith in the wisdom and patriozasni of the great statesman and soldier nominated on the same ticket for the Presidency of the United States. His eminent services to his country, his fidelity to the Constitution, union and laws, his. clear perception of correct principle of government as taught by Jefferson, his scrupulous care. to keep the military in strict surbordination to the civil,authorities, his high:re-: gard for civitliberty, personal rights and rights of property, his acknowl edged ability in civil as well as mili tary sffairs, and his pure-and blame less life, all point to him as a man worthy of the confidence-of the peo ple. Not only a brave. soldier, a great commander, a wise statesman Snd a pure patriot, but a prudent, pains taking, practical man, of unquestioned honesty, trusted- often with important public duties, faithful to every trust, and in a full meridian. of ripe and vigorous manhood, he is, in my judg ment, eminently fitted for the highest position on earth-the Presidency of the United States. Not only is he the right mandor the place, but the time has come when the best interests of the country, require that the party which has monopolized the Executive Department of the General Govern ment tor the last twenty years should be retired. The continuance of that *party in power four years longer would Dot be beneficial to the public or in accordance with the spirit of our Re publican institutions. Laws of entail have not been favored in our systemu of government. Perpetuation of prop erty or place in one family or set of men has never been encouraged in .this country, and great and good men who framed our Republican Govern. m2ent and its traditions wisely limited the tenure of office of long leases of power. Twenty years of continuous power is long enough and has already led to irregularities and corruptions, which are not likely to be properly exposed under the same party that perpetuated them. Besides it should not be forgotten that the four last years of power held by that party were procured by discreditable means, and held .in defiance of the wishes of a majority of the people. It was a grievous worng to every voter and our system of self-government, which abould never be forgotten or forgiven. Many of the -men now in office were put there because of their-. corrupt partisan services in thus defeating the fairly and legally expressed will of the majority snd the hyproerisy of the professions of that party in favor of civil service, reform was shown by placing such men in offiee and turning whole broods of Federal officeholders loose to influence elections. Money of the ;people, taken out of thie public treasury by these men for.services of ten poorly performed or not performied at all, is being used in vast sums wvith the knowlegde and presu,med sanction of the administration to. control ele-c tions, and- even mnembers of the Cab inet are strolling about the co-untry making partisan speeecies instead of being in their depart-nents at Wash ington, discharging public d.uties, for which they are paid by the people. But -with all their cleverness and abil ity the- discriminating public will, no doubt, read between the lines of their . spee.ches that their paramount hope and aim is to keep themselves or their satellites four years ion'ger "in offce. That perpetuating power of chronic Federal officeholders four-yeare longer will not benefit the millions of men and women who hold no office, but earn their daily bread by honest in dustry, is what the same discerning public will no doubt fully understand, as they will also that it is because of of their own industry and economy and God's bountiful harvests, that the country is comparatively prosperous, and not because of anything done by these Federal officeholders. The country is comparatively prosperous, not because of;them, but in :spite of them. This contest is, in fact, between the people endeavoxing to re gain the political power, which right fully belong to them, and to restore the .pure, simple, economical constitu tional government of our fathers on the one side and a hundred thourand1 Federal office holders and their back ers, pampered with place and power, and determined to retain thema at all1 hazards, on the other. Hence, the con stant assumption of new and danger ous powers by the General Govern mienL, under the rule of the Republi can party. The effort to build up 1 what they call a strong government ; the interference with the administra tion of justice in the Courts of the several States; the interference witht elections through a medium of paidi partisan Federal officeholders, aio-1 terested in keeping their party in -rnment of the limited powers created I )y our fathers, and end-in a great con :olidated central gograment, .strong fo ideed for evil and Alkertheow of .c Republican institutions. Wise meog who formed our Constitution knew \ .he evils of a strong government t Ad the long continuance of political v power in the same hands They knew c chere was a tendeny~in-thisdiretio in all governments and consequent I danger to Republican institutionsl from that cause, and took pains to-o guard against it. The machine of a I strong- -eentrali-zed--General -Govern ment can be used to perpetuate the c same set of. men in power from term to term until it ceases to be a Repub lic, or sucb oily in "-ame and aEen- 1 dency of the party now in power inj that direction, as shown in various: ways, beside the willingness recently manifested by a large number of that party to elect a Prosident for'an un limited number of terms is quite appa rent and must satisfy thinking.peopl& that the time' has come when it wil. be safest and best for the party to be retired. But in resisting the encroaeh ments of Gen.eral Government upon the reserved rights of the people and States I wish to be distinctly under stood as favoiing a proper exercise by - the General Gveronat of all powers, rightfully , belonging to it under the .C9nstitutionu.. Encroach ments upon the eonstitutional rights of the Genei-al Geviroient or-inter ~ference wit Ythe'piiroper exercise of its powers must = ,be, ' earefully avoided. The uniou of :States ander the Con stitution.- must be maintained, and it is well known that this has al ways been, the position of both candidates. on the Democrati- Presidential ticlelt. It is aquiesced in everywhereinow and finally and forever-settled as one of the results of the war. .It is certainly be yond all question that the legitimate resu't's of the war of tie Union will not be overthrown or impaired, should the Democratie ticket be elected. In that event proper protection will. be given in every legitimate way to every citizen, native or adopted, in every section of the Republic in the enjoy ment of all the rights guaranteed by the Constitution: and its amendments. A - sound currency .of honest money value and purchasing power, corres ponding substantially ;with the stan dard recognized by the c dinmercial world, and consisting of gold and sil ver and paper, -convertible into-coin, will be maintained. Labor and inman ufacturing, commercial and business interests of the country will be favour ed and encouraged in every legitimate way The toiling niillions of our own people will be protected- from destrue ti.ve comnpetition of the Chinese,and to that end their emigration to our shores will be properly restricted. Public credit wilr be strengthened by rigid economy in public expendi tures and the liberties and the prop erty. .of the people will be protect ed by a government, of law and order, zdministered strictly in the interests of the people, and not of corporations and priviledged classes. I do not doubt the discriminating justice of the people and their capacity for in - telligent self-government,andl therefore, do not doubt the success of the Demo oeratic~ ticket. Itirsceess would bu ry, beyond resurrection, sectional:jeal ousies and. hatreds .which .have:so lang been the stock in a trade of.pestifer ous demagogues, and in'no other way can this be so effectually accomplished. It would restore harmony- and good feeling between all sections and make us, in fact,..as -well. as in name, one people. The only rivalry then would be in race; for the development of ma terial -prosperity, elevation of labdr, enlargement of human rights, -promno tion of education, morality,.religion, liberty, order and -all that would tend to make us the foremost nation of hu man progress.

PAm~A, July 24.-The Chilian transport Loa. purchased at the com mencemient-"of the present war, is the1 steamer which was blown up by a tor-c pedo ia .Callao 3ay on the 3d.instant-. The affamir caused great excitement. in Lima and much glorification amiongt Peruvians. The plan adopted was ihe e following, as related bj a correspon- t dent of the Berald : The Peruviane officer took an ordinary fruit boat, put a torpedo in the bottom, and over t this placed a false bottom resting on t springs, and kept down by the weight t of the cargo. He then loaded it with a very choice assortment of camnotes. yucas, chirimoyos, grandillas, fowls, turkey, green vegetables. &c., and, b towing it out towards the blockading e squadron before daylight, set it adrift. p All day long that launch floated about,. d but the Chilians could not see it un- t il about 5 o'clock in the evening; I fearing it would fall into neutral e aands, a boat was doing the duty and d eeing the boat from shore uwaking to-s wards netral vessels caught sight ofjlI ~he launch and at once t.urned towards p t. Seeing this, the boat from shore seat a hasty retreat, and the Loa low ared two boats to fetch in the prize mad it was brought alongside and its I lischarge at once commenced.

Riepublican Convention. ~ 11~*~ Cl. Chicago Tacties in Georgia. The Democratic State Convention of Georgia met in Atlanta Wednes day the 4th, to nominate Stafep cers. The contest between the Colquitt and anti-Colquitt factions has been raging for several months, and the feeling .is very bitter on both sides. Each side has can vassed the State thoroughly, and delegates were elected froi each County __according as they would support or oppose Colquitt. After the ogapization the following per sons were put in nomination for Governor: A. H. Colquitt, Rufus E. Lester, Thos. Hardeman, L. J. Gartrell and Chief Justice Warner. On the first ballot the votes stood: Colquitt 20a&, Lester 58{, Harde man 541, Gartrell 17}, Warner 11 -nebessary'te.a choice 233k, a two thirds vote. The balloting was continued Thursday' and Friday with scarcely any change in the votes. A proposition was made 'Fiday to witlidraw all the candi dates and "bring in another horse", but Colquitt's friends would not. consent. Hon. Patrick Walsh, of Augusta, sai'd': "We have come heeo to :nominate the man who is the choice of more than 'two-thirds of the Counties of the State, and we are going to do it. Mir. Watson, of I'cDaffie County, wanted a compromise by' leaving Iout all the candidates named and taking A new* man. He salid; 'If the terms offered by the gentleman from Richmond (Mr. Walsh) are the only ones'oi which the 'Dein ocracy eanaiie iet her die. I'll' be one of the'chief iburners. If the ship must go down we'll nail to the mast the shattered 'ig, spread every threadbare 4aii; and iv her to the god of the storms, the light ning and'the gale." The Convention reached the 25th ballot Saturday with Coliitt 210 ; ,no material change, and very little prospect of a compromise. Aiken's Nomination Sure. The Third Congressional District is composed of the Counties of Ab beville, Anderson, Laurens, Lexing ton, Newberry, Oconee, Pickens and Richiand. The caididates for Congress.from this District are .D. Wyatt Aiken, of Abbeville County, Wmn. Wallace, of Richiland, and Jas. L. Orr, of Anderson. The follow ing Coanties have, elected Aiken dIelegates.: Laurens 4, Lexington 3, Newberry 4, Oconee 3-total 14. TChe 6 delegates from Richland are for Wallace ; the 5 from Anderson are for Orr. So the figures stand now : Aiken 14, .Wallace 6 ; Orr 5, with Abbeville and Pickens yet to elect-the former sends 6 delegates, the latter 3. Abbeville will, with out doubt, go for Aiken, and Pick ens probably will; but with Abbe ville's delegation he will have 19 votes out of 34. His nomination is therefore assured. Col. Aiken has made a good Representative, and will make his own best suc cessor. *From present indications South Carolina will send back to Congress all . her present Representatives. Col. Woodward is making a vigor. ous fight against Col. Evins in the 4th District, but the latter has the inside track so far. The nomina ting convention will meet at Ches ter the 1st of Septemiber Chief Justice Willard claims that his term is not out-that he was elected Chief Justice for six yeai's. He and Governor Simpson, who was elected by the last Legislature Chief Justice, have agreed upon 'a "statement of facts", and will pre sent the case to the' Supreme Court for its decision. Dr. Tanner completed his fast of forty days Saturday at noon:' His weight at the beginning of the fast 'was 157k ; at the.:close 121j. His first. meal Saturday was milk and watermelon-.-He is recovering his strengthi gradually and appears to be out of: danger. The first' State Election took place in Alabama the 2nd inst. The Green backers, Independents and Republicans combined against the regular Democratic ticket, but were badly defeated. ~ Congressman Lowe, Greenbacker, was defeated by a Democrat Gen. Robt. R.

A Ires idential Candidate will meet the coni wittee of his party, arid there will be preseat one hundred.of: he:pritcipal "Capitalists of the country." This is practical politics with a veugance. The politiciaus and the Capitalists meet the Candidate to arrange plans, and it is. unnecessary to receive promuises. The National Repubian of this o worning;, says th.t at this mce!tiug, the financial affairs of the Campaign 1 will be discussed, probably. Else why the one.. hundred Capitalist ? Aut is t not this putting, the politics df the o countiy in a shameless condition ? -If anything of the kiun has?ever been done before, it has been done with a the decent - secrecy demanded by re s spect for the people. For much as Capitalists are interested in adwinis- I trations, there has always heretofore been a tacit understanding that elec tions, should _not, be- open y bonht. I am -nucihr mistaken 4f General-Gar field does not find, when the votes are conired this Fall: that This conference with "Caprtaiists" has cost him much. His political fortunes - have been thought to be at a low ebb indeed when his managers. devised and. be con sented to eac~h an ostentations display of servility to the money power. It must not be understood, from the report -that "all the Departments but;one "were represedied in yester day's-. Cabinet. meeting," that any one of the Departments is wholly with- a out-: Clerks, Messengers and Watch- I mnan. Such .is not -the fact.' .The Secretaries are away,~and the Assist- o ant Secretaries, and the .Bu.reau. ofi-p cers, -and tbe Chief Clerks, and many others. but whatever may be the ex igencies of the campaign, Mr. Hayes d will not allow any Department to be! without at least one night watc hman. He began his admiuistration. an a basis of civil service reform, and one' of his first official announcemeats was that the example of President Grant's administrations, in the matter of ab senteeism, would not be follow-ed, and it will not ; there will always be a watchman or messenger on hand.
