I ? i .tiratz Brown's Letter of Accep table, ST. LOUIS, June 1.-In reply* to a notification of his nomination as vice President by the Cincinnati Conven tion Governor Brown makes the follow ing response : EXECUTIVE OFFICE, ) JEFFERSON CITY, May 31 1872. J GENTLEMEN-Your letter advising me of the action.of the Liberal Re publican Cou v??fibn at Cincinnati has been receiyed, and I return through you my acknowledgment of the hon or which has been conferrer! upon me. I accept the nomination as a candidate for Vice President, and en dorse most cordially, the resolutions setting forth the principle? on which this appeal is made to the.whole peo ple ol the United States. A century is closing upon our experience of Re publican government, and while that lapse ot time has .vitnessed a gr at expansion ol our free institut-ions, yet it has not been without illustration j als?'of grave' dangers to the s:ability j of such a system. Of th'se success fully encountered it is needless to \ speak. Ol' those which remain to menace us the most threatening, are provided against, as I firm y believe, in the wisc and pacific measures pro posed by yonr plat form, lt has come to be the pru-lice of those elcva^-H to thc positions of national au tho) to re^nrd the public service ii": public trust,ljur oiry mean; ..... $W?MV.I.U\ 'Piis y>.Stilts ''? ''C1' tuting.; mete party orgunixatic thc government itself, which im all independent IhoirglU:, enabb few to rule the meny, and make sonai allegiance the road to favor. It requires little forecast to perceive that this will wreck our lil cities un less lhere be interpo ed a timely re form ot the Administration i'roiu the highest to thc low'St Station, ..hi oj sha!] not only forbidttbuses, but like*- j wise take away the incentive to their ! practice. Wearied with thc conten tions thai aro carried on iii the ava rice of spoils, the country demands re pose, resents the eifert of officials io I dragoon it again into partisan hostil ities, and will zealously sustain any movement promising a sure deliver ance. Of the perils which have been connected with the war it is safe to say thaPthose are now to be feai ed which come of an abuse of victory into permanent estrangement, The Union is fortified by more power than ever before, and it remain's an imp? r atiye duty, to cement our nationality by reconciliation. At the North a widespread sympathy is aroused in behalt, of those States of the South which, long after the termination of resistance to rightful Federal author ity, are still plundered under the guise of loyalty, and tyrannized over in the name of freedom. Along with this feeling is present, too, the recog nition that in complete amnesty alone ann be found the hope of any return to constitutional government as of -old, O'-any development of a more enduring rfnity and broader national i life in the future. Amnesty, howev er, to be efficacious, must be real, not nominal, not evasive, but must carry along with it equal rigbys as well as [equal protection to all. For the re moval of disabilities as to some, with enforcemei t as to others, leaves room for the suspicion that pardon is meas ured by political gain, and especially will such preferred clemency be fu tile in the presence bf a renewed at tempt* ai prolonging a suspension of rhe iidlras corpu?, in the persistent resort to martial rather than to civil law, in upholding those agencies used to alienate the races, where "Concord is most essential, mid in preparing another elab?rale campaign o'n a ba sis of dead issues ai d arbitrary in-" tervention. All will rightly credit such conduct as but a u?oekery of amnesty and demand an administra tion which can give a better waorant j ot honesty iii the great w<brk of re construction and reform. The array of sectional interests of a public so wide sprean as ours is never entirely safe from >evious conflicts. These be come stil[ more daugerous.wtien com plicated with questions jf taxation where unequal burthens are believed to be impo-ed on one part at the ex pen-e ot another part. It was ti bold as well as admirable policy in thc interest of present as well as future tranquility to withdraw thu decision of industrial nnd revenue matters j from the usual arbitration of an Elec toral College, oho?en with a single animating purpose of party ascen dency, and refer them for a more direct popular expression to ea h Congressional- District. Instead of being muzzled by some evasive de clarat'ou. the country is theieby in- j vited to its-frankest utterances, and sections which would revolt at being denied a voice out of deference to other success would be content to ac quiesce in a general judgment hon estly elicited. If' local government be, as it .undoubtedly is, th. most vital principle of our institutions, much advance will be made towafds re-establishing it by enabling the people to pas's upon'questions so near ly affecting their well being' dispas sionately through their local repre sentation. The precipitancy which would force a controlling declaration on tax or tariff through a Presiden tial candidacy in only a disguised form of centralization, involving haz ardous reaches of executive influence. The conclusion will be much more impartially determined, and with less disturbance- to trade and finance by appealing to the most truthlul and diversified local expression Indus trial issues can be thi'S likewise eman cipated from the power of great mo nopolies, each canvass made to deter mine its own specific instructions, and each representative held to fidelity toward his immediate constituents. These are the most prominent fea tures of that general concert of ac tion which proposes to replace the present Administration by one more iii sympathy with the aspirations of the masses of our contrymen. Of course such concert cannot be attain ed by thrusting our minot past dif ferences into the foreground, and it will be for the people- to determine whether these objects are of such magnitude and present urgency as to justify them in deferring other ad-' justments until the country shall be first restored to a free suffrage, unin fluenced by official dictation, and ours become in fact a, free republic, releas ed from apprehension "ol a central domination. Without referring in detail to the various other pr?-posi tions, embraced in the r?solutions of the Convention, but seeing how the?e all contemplate a restoration of the power to the people, peace to th nation, purity to the Government, that they condemn the attempt to establish an ascendancy of military over civil rule, and affirm with e x plicitness the maintenance of equal freedom to all citizens irrespective of race, previous condition or pending disabilities, I have only to pledge again my sincere co-operation.

At noon, yesterday, a despatch was received at the Convent of the Sisters of Mercy in this city,.!non New York, announcing .the sa>! intelligence of the death of this mucii esteemed gentle man and levered pastor, t?nt a few days ago he ventured upon his last journey, to seek recovery pf fail ing health in a mort bracing atmos phere; but lus strength continued to Jail, and now he is among the dead.

His first mission was to Columbus, Georgia, which was then included in this diocese ; . lrom thence he was transferred to Cultimbia and Edge field, South Carolina, where for years he discharged the duties of pastor. lu this latter missiou'he was engaged and faithfully' served until war be came, fiagr.-^t in 1862. It was while he was in chai g ? of this misiion that he erected the beautiful granite church which now adorns th< village of Edgefield, raised at a cost of over $3U,000, which he gathered together in small sums from his friends in ev ery part of the country. His deter mination in prosecuting this, work was indomitable, and his zeal and en ergy were only equaled by the suc cess which crowned his Undertaking. In this, and other works of charity, he was occupied during the whole o his active life. At the close of the war, upon his return to. Chai lesion, he was appoint ed by the Ht. Kev. Bishop Lynch, Vicar-General < f the Diocese ol South Carolina, and this dignity, with which h?' was then invested, he retained tb the day of his death. The last two years ul his life he chiefly devoted outside "t the charge of his ?spiritual duties-to the erection of a worthy" edifice of Catholic worship, on Sulli van's Island, suitable to the growing population and importance of thia s- a-side summer resort. ?

Four little boys,' returning home from-school, went into tae mill pond bathing, and were all dnwned. There , was no person present t) direct, as sist or save them. The parents were first alarmed by their net returning home at the usual hour and follow ing the path to the sdiopl house, their DOOKS and clothingwere found at the foot-log over the sreain. The water was immediately drawn off, and the lifeless remainsDf the four little boys were ,found, vithin a few feet.of each other, in ^tfe bottom of the stream. Two were ;he sons of Mr. Joel Ellison, one tb son of Mr. Thos. Couoh, and one . th son of Mr. Sidney Couch. These f mi lies live close to each other, an t#ie little boys were on the best trms, going to school and returning tgether. Thus, in a mtment, aa-thesepar ents bereaved and overwelmed with sorrow. Mr. Sidney Cach has lost his only son, a little spightly boy of eight summers,* who ms his fath er's staff and guide; fo.he it was who directed his fathcB f otsteps aud lead him by the hnd.in his 'blindness.

Ex-Senator Buckalow, i n his speech accepting the nomination for gover nor of Pennsylvania, said : ?. My ideas o? the duties of the gov . eruor of the Commonwealth are, I ? suppus?. somewhat pt etti iar.

He ! is not to Jet loose a cri mi u al fi um your penitentiaries becauie political I favorites demand his ' release. Geui I ilemen, I believe there is a disposi tion at this time in our own Com monwealth to get a little beyond and outside of that circle ol' intense party passion whicn raged over this country dunng trie war aiid during the first years after the conclusion 01 the war. Our people .are beginning to uuderstand that there are many matters, and those of the greatest significance, upon, which gentlemen ot intelligence ' and liberal opinion can heartily unite. to subserve and promote those purposes for which po litical society was organized. Nuw in view of the general disposition to have reform introduced into your ?State and into our national govern ment, we are entitled, when we set up candidates for whom and around whom public confidence can gather, we are entitled to appeal to men ot all parties and shades of opinion to gp with us, and to establish a new departure which shall be one of puri ty, energy, faithlulnesa, integrity ?md justice in government.

The old Satterwhite, who was a miser and died ina lunatic asylum, lived in a log shanty which formed the kitch en to Mr. GJchrist's house. It was built forty year's ago, and occupied j i by Satterwhite, and. it is said ?by , ! some of "he o.d citizens who remem ber him, that r. was one of the idiosyn- ? cracie- of his constitution to eon' eal his money by hiding it about the walls or in the cracks or other out of the way places, and that in 1846 he became so iuuci deranged that his . friends carried him back to South Carolina, and that they believed there was a large sum of money con cealed about tin pi>-mi.-es, vMi val uable papers, bj Satterwhite, aaa, portion of his moDey was missing; but the maller passed off and nothing has been ?aid about, tho .fact, as Sat terwhite died without revealing ary thing in connection with the io6l treas u e.
