Pendleton. He sent the following account of his reception and of the information elicited: CINCINNATI, June 8,1868. "Mr. Pendleton?" "That's my name, sir. Walk in. Take a seat," The inquiry was mine. The response was that of Mr. George H. Pendleton, Democratic (Candidate for the Vice-Presidency in 1864 and lim aspirant for the Democratic nomination for President at the New York. Convention next month.. He was. seated at his desk and had suspended writing a letter to answer the inquiry which I addressed him from the threshold of his law .of? fice, a plainly, bot substantially furnished apartment, about twelve by twelve in size, situated in a Chancery court of law chambers on Third-street, in this-city. Waving me to the proffered seat with a genial smile which made me feel at home with him, on the instant he wished to know what he could do for me. The, brief interval ..which had elapsed .to this moment WBB' sufficient to give me an opportu? nity of perceiving: that' he is a man or about forty-two years of age, and possessed of a manner which readily accounts for bis person? al pormlarity. His face seemed not at all strenge; it was even familiar, though I had Jever seen him before. The person who makes his acquaintance hereafter w?l recognize the truth ot this observation : his face is one .ot the kind that haunts the mind with, the impression that'it has'been somewhere seen before, though for what reason the spectator w?l be at a loss to conceive. In height Mr. Pendleton is a little above the me? dium, the excess being unnoticeable from a very slTght tendency to embonpoint. Not that he is stout or portly. The best description of him would be to say. that he is very hearty, witix -a full, robust figure. He is proportion? ately well built, and by the ladies would he deemed a handsome man-dark (though not black) hair covers a large, finely formed head; moustache and. whskers, worn in the prevailing style (the latter Brightly sprinkled with gray, beith inclined to be curly, and with a fineness and silkiness indicative of elegance of temperament), surround a face which seem to perpetually wear the winning smile above referred to. A suit of black and dark bine completos the picture of the candidate whom ?Hie weet- is press?t*; so strenuously for the Democratic nomination. BDesuite the public notoriety which Mr. Pen ~ . . j : ?J : i te di ti ol w ra m in hi tv a T ol cl ta n< se ol Fi ht PI ht rii F< W( wi Ul Hi cr Bl th be 8! wi dleton has achieved he is steadily and earnest? ly devoted to the business of his profession, and it is a wonder how he has contrived to get time from his private duties to transact tho public business whioh has made him so famous in the West. He resides in the country out? side the city of Cincinnati, coining in every meaning to ms office and desk, where, or in court, He labors industriously all day until the hour for his return to his suburban borne. No doubt a great deal of his success is due to the efforts of his friends, whose number is legion, and whom he has united to himself by the peculiar magnetism of his character. What ne has been quick to conceive in politics they have been - as quick to execute in his interest. They are bound to bim by a tie which it would seem impossible to sever. Their devotion lo him is of the warmest kind, and he has become their leader without any apparent effort on hie part. The details of any policy of bis origination they have delighted to carry out. The understanding between man and party is of the most harmonious kind. I give these particulars concerning Mr. Pendleton because he is not known at the East, and especially as he will doubtless prove one of the most prominent candidates in the con ven tiou of July 4. I made known my business without any cir? cumlocution. The smile of interest changed, to one of surprise. That a person should travel Dearly nine hundred miles to hold a conversa? tion with him was something a little out of the routine of matters coming within the range of J bis daily observation. Had I been a politician sven from New Tork to make a bargain regard? ing the nomination it would have been surpris? ing enough, particularly as the object might t>e attained just as well by letter. He had no >bjection-none whatever, he said-to talk with ne upon political matters, but " did I want to )rint the conversation ?" I explained that such ras my wish, as the natural sequence of the nterview and as a part of the business which lad brought me to see him." Had Mr. Pendleton been a tortoise I have no ioubt that at thiB moment he would have ren? dered himself totally invisible to me excepting lis shelL As be is not a tortoise such apiece )f zoological strategy was impossible. He did something approaching to it in the human way, io we ver. The smile of welcome, which had ?hanged to one of surprise as I told my mis? ti?n, bad now changed to one of startled ap? prehension. "AB a friend, sir, I shall be happy to converse freely with yon on any and all political eub ects, but I will not do so for the sake of hav? an it printed. These conversations between ?rrespondenta and public men are very ridicu ous-very ridiculous." And move bim from this determination xrald not. It was in vain that I plied every ar rument I was capable of. He was unalterable a bis decision. "No, sir, I could not think of it. Such a thing vould do no good. Not that I have anything 0 conceal. My sentiments are well known. Chere is nothing I have to conceal. I will tell ron everything in a private way, if yon promise tot to print it." Of course such a promise was oat of the [uestion. Not despairing yet, I exerted every artifice within my capacity and employed every reapon in my reportorial storehouse to induce . change of his decision. It was of no avail. "I have no objection to telling yon all I bink," he continued, "but I do not wish to lave a conversation with three or four bon Ired tbousand readers of tho He: aid before ireakfast." The old smile came back to bis face and the onveisation turned upon the weather or some ?qually interesting and important topic. This ecord of the interview, while serving to show Ir. Pendleton's sensitiveness and bis deep-root d conviction of the ridiculousness of holding 1 conversation on political subjects for the lenefit of the community, will also illustrate ba difficulties under which a correspondent ometimes labors, and will convince the reader hat a correspondent s duties are not always ouleur de rose. "TH'S DE KB Y DAY." ^ j ! 1 N* INTERESTING CHAPTER ABOUT "THE DEBBX" | 1 1 AND Hg WHO HAVE L08T OB WON IT. 1 What is called "The Derby Day/ held as a | ? reat holiday by the Londoners, is invariably j le second day- (Wednesday) of the grand' pring races which take place at Epsom, in ur rey, every May in the week succeeding rin i ty Sunday. On this second day the fa ions Derby stakes, instituted in the year 1780 I j y the twelfth Earl of Derby, grandfather of j 1 tbs Eupert of debate," who lately resigned the Bice of Prime Minister of England, are always in for, the best horses being entered for the rise. For the first Derby there were thirty x subscribers at ?50 each, with ?25 forfeit t case of non-starters; bat the number i" subscribers is cow 60 large that the value T the stakes is between ?5500 and ?7000 lat ie from $32,500 to $35,000 in gold | - he horses are ridden ia Baddie, by trained, got-weight jockeys, who generally act fair to? ar J their employers-it being their interest j be boxest. For instance, two or three i jars ago, when a French noble (Count de La range) won the Derby by the excellent nm- J og of his horse Gladiateur, be made his ckey a present of one thousand pooods. The erby coarse at Epsom is only a mile and a| j alf iu its circuit, and the shortest time that iis was ron over was in 1861, then being twrt inutes, forty-three seconds. On "the Derby \ ay," according to a custom which has pre- ? tiled for a long period, both Horses of Par- e iment do not Bit. In fact, it would seem as I , on that day, London, voluntarily and simul- 8 neously, had turned its inhabitants out of j }ors, and discharged them en masse upon I peom Downs, by means of coaches, chariots, 1 tbs, four-in-hand "drags," vans, wagons, ? Dukey carte, besides tens of thousands who a avel thither on horseback, on foot, and by a tilroad. It has been estimated that nearly a t illion of persons have been present at the t luuiog for " the Derby "-the English call it i ? the Darby") on some occasions. Our latest a ail accounts give the following details of the a ?ult of the "Derby Day" of 1868 : c THE DEBBY DAT. g The weather was magnificent, and the at- j ndance might have been numbered by hun- t reds of thousands. The parade is very beau- j fol. Past the stand in single file go eighteen i .' the finest horses in England, every one of e hich is plainly the worse for his last year's r .cmg. U anybody doubts it, let him wait two inutes, and he will see one horse go to pieces ? i his first dozen strides with the tendons of I soff foreleg snapped. Let him wait then, and c to more will have broken down, and there are v iree horses out of eighteen mined in one race, t hey are simply raced ao bard at two years i d, and trained so fine at three that it is a c lance whether they are barely fit to do a fixed t sk, or are destroyed in attempting it. v The shining silk jackets of the jockeys are t )t handsome enough to outweigh the pain of v teing these noble horses limp on three legs 1 F the coarse. They are Pace, bamsoa and fe rancbise, neither of whom was supposed to ive a chance of winning. At the head of the h rocession came Sir Joseph Hawley's three I >rses, with jockeys all in cherry Bilk. Wells o rles Blue Gown, and is second in fame only to p urdham, if indeed to him, since Wells has r un two Derbys, and is about to win another, 1 aile Fordham, lucky in every other race, is e ducky in this. It is said that Sir Joseph i awley would wio a fortune with either F.osi- r ucian or Oreen Sleeve, and nothing with s ne Gown. Yet he rans the latter because 1 e public have backed bim heavily, and, if this il i true, it is a piece of fair dealing, or even of c nerous sentiment in such striking contrast a th the usual practices of the turf that it de- h rves honorable mention. h Lady Elizabeth is amare so uncertain in rr mper that she is cot saddled with the rest, r Drought oat with them for exhibition. She c. the miracle of horse flesh for whom the ii irby has so long been a sore thing, and who. BI one time has been backed even against the ri ld, though now the odds of seven to four are fi d against her. She carries Cte sar and bis. d rtunes. She is (or is not) to redeem the lost venues and mortgaged estates of the Mar- ci is of Hastings, and make that young prodi- T 1 once more the idol and the banker of the ei ng. Bather ladyship is unluckily a vii en, fe and in the hope of bringing her quiet to the post, her trainer keeps ne away from a crowd that is ready to eather-and that after the race will declare she ought to be eaten. . For the same reason, when the horses have finished their canter and are marshalled for the start, Lady Elizabeth is kept in their rear. Her jookey prefers to loBe a few lengths rather than risk his mare's temper by the side of her rivals. All these precautions are of no avail. From the stand, which ls a quarter of a mile distant from the starting ground, we can see the Lady's head between her knees and her feet in the air. She pulls till she nearly pulls Fordham out of his saddle, and plunges in a way which at least keeps everybody off but the boy at ber head. The odds in the ring go up against her. There is no difficulty about get? ting the others in line, and it seems to be agreed that the mare snail wait till they are off, and then take her chance. At the third ef? fort the starter drops his flag. The seventeen start away together; the great cry "They're off," comes ringing along the line, and the most ex? citing three minutes of the year-" are be before you. Exactly how each horse ran for every yard may be read in the proper reports, what could be seen from the roof of the stand with a strong glass was this: An irregular oval course, tolerably level, fenced in by thick rows of people, by white? washed rails, by furze bushes in some places, and for all the distance from Tattenham Corner home as clear as the sea, or as Rotten Row un Sundays. Round this circle goes a compact, confused mass of heads of horses and men, and silk jackets of every hue lying close together, all ready to be covered with the traditional blanket, if anybody bad it at hand. The pace is tremendous, but for half smile the seventeen cling to each other as if shot out of the same sling. The oherry and blue and gold, the rose a'jd violet, are still a cluster of costumes borne in a single carriage. Only the scarlet and white, which Fordham wears, are in the rear, and they keep In the rear of everything else fiast the first corner, past the straight reach ar opposite the stand, past the second bend. Tattenham Corner is almost reached be? fore there is an opening in the flying throng, and Fordham calls on his mare to go to the front. To the dismay of the thousands whese money she carries, she refuses even to try. The lash comes down, and she still re? fuses. She never once got near the front, and, from the start to the finish, was as much out of the race as Franchise or See Saw, against whom the odds of one hundred to one were offered without takers. Sir Joseph's Cherry seemed to be all in front when the horses came in fu'l view round the Corner. Two of the three gave way: the dark blue of Roths? child was first of all, and there were twenty seconds when the crowd shouted with one voice : "King Alfred wins." But his jockey has made his effort too soon. The King has done his best, while Wells still keeps Blue Gown in hand. Opposite the stand the cherry tacket creeps up to the violet, and the two torses are racing neck and neck. In another second Wells is to the front, passes the poet half a length ahead, and has won the eighty ninth Derby by knowing how to ride. Lady Elizabeth was last but one. By the winning of this race were the for? tunes of the noble house of Hastings to be re? stored. By the losing of it they ought to be irretrievably smashed, bnt it is said are not, unluckily. Here is one of the mysteries for outsiders. Sir Joseph Hawley wrns nothing, with Blue Gown, while the Marquis of Hast? ings * ins a considerable sum. No doubt if Lady Elizabeth had done what she wu 8 expect? ed to do, the Marquis would have carried off much more money; enough, perhaps, to have paid his outs tending debts of honor "(') and nave started bim once more on the road to min. He has flung away in an uncommonly short time one of the finest fortunes in England. Even the men who helped pluck him say he has brought discredit on the Turf, an institution that half England thinks not less sacred than the church, and with which they would much more reluctantly dis? pense. This noble young pigeon was allowed to appear at the Derby only beoause his credi? tors hoped he would win, and would pay them jut of his winnings. By the rules of the ring le ought to have been excluded SB a defaulter, tor he has paid but twenty-five per cent, on the amount of his last year's losaos. -What he ivins on Blue Gown will go but a little way toward making up th is enormous deficit, lt is a question whether he will be allowed to run HIV more horses or appear again, as he did at the Derby, to receive the cheers of the flun? keys who are ready to forgive anything to a Marquis. Of the whole amount lost and won m the race nobody can form an estimate, but me authority asserts that two commission tgents have to pay to the backers of Blue Gown ?301,976, mor? than a minion and half of dol? ara in gold. These may be the two largest, mt there are some hundreds of such agents scattered all over England. a. Horrible Scene in Japan-The Hart? Karl. A correspondent of the New York Times, m ting from Hiogo, Japan, under date of darch 18, gives the following account of a cu ions and h omble propitiatory ceremony : On the 2d of this month, at 1.15 P. M.. in one )f the Hiogo temples, Izeda Ise, the author of he recent troubles, suffered death. He was he secretary of Prince Eczo'n, and gave the or 1er to fire on the foreigners. The combined >owers demanded his head, and neither his >wn position nor the influence of the Prince :ould save him. But he was permitted to com nit the han-kari, thus rescuing his property rom confiscation and his name from dishonor imong bis countrymen. Up to the last mo nent his friends sought bis pardon. Each of the six legations sent a representa? re as a witness, ana to this number was ad led an interpreter. The closest mystery hrouded the whole affair, and as few witness? es as possible were permitted, in order to im tress the Japanese that the execution was to atisfy the ends of justice and not gratify a irurient curiosity. The chosen ones left the egation during the evening and walked to Logo, where a guard of Japanese soldiers met hem ard conducted them through several nar ow streets to one of the larger temples. One if the ante-rooms was placed at their disposal, nd there they indulged in pipes and cigars nd awaited the event. At a few minutes past ll P. M. w;rd came hat all was ready. They arose and followed heir conductor into the main temple. Here, n front of the large and elaborately finished .liar, was spread a green cloth, and over this i smaller red covering. Near the centre stood . tray containing a number of small knives, orresponding to the sharp short sword ot the "ap??ese, unsheathed. The seven Europeans at down in silence on the matting, after the 'ap??ese fashion, and the same number of na? ive officials located themselves opposite. Lbove them glimmered several Japanese paper interns, shedding over the alter a dim and pectral light, which lost itself in the myste lous darkness beyond. With a slow but Arm and unfaltering step the loomed man entered and approached the altar. Ie wore the white-wing state dress, indicative if high rank, the "Karoi-Shino." Turning to rard the dimly outlined images of his gods, he lowed and muttered a prayer. Then gather ng his feet beneath him he eat down, re ting m his knees, in the usual Japanese manner, leside the tray. It is customary for the indi idual performing the hari-kari to complete he act by cutting his own throat. But this mhappy man, fearing that at the last moment iis resolution might tail, caused one near of in to assume the duty of headsman. The executioner took his position behind lim, seizing the long handle in both hands. Ie raieed the sword, and assumed the attitude f one about to strike. It was a tableau im ressive and awful. The long razor-edged blade eflected the lantern light with horrid effect, .'he executioner's eyes were fixed with fearful arne8tnees on the victim before him, watch ?g eagerly every motion. The doomed man aethomcaliy prepares his dress, and selects a word, grasping it firmly m his right hand, .'hen summoning all his resolution, he pluuges : into his side and completes a transverse in ?sion. At this moment his head falls forward, nd instantaneously the poised sword of the eadsman flashes through the air, and the ead falls with a dull sound upon the heavily tatted floor. The seven robed and sworded Japanese ofli ials bow their heads to the ground, exclaiming i a loud voice: "Are you satisfied V" and the aven Europeans bow their faces in return, and jply, through their interpreter, "We are satis ed." They arise and are immediately con neted away. This is the famous hari-kari allowed to om ars of position as an alternative of disgrace, 'he incision saves their honor and their prop- ' riv, and the gash in the throat terminates sui- ' nmg.

A medical gentleman inquires "if the Resolvent is a cure for Spermatorrhea, Impotence, and Discharges from the System, that threaten dissolution," .tc. The RENOVATING RESOLVENT, whea prepared under the old process, cured many persons in this city and elsewhere, who, from self-abuse, had almost placed themselves beyond the reach of cure, but who were cured and since married, and have chUdren, This is good evidence of its powerful curative and fruitful efficacy. As a Blood Purifier, it is superior to all Sarsaparil? las-these decoctions are mere washes compared to the powerful, stimulating, strengthening and life invigorating effects of the true SARSAPARILLIAN RESOLVENT. So quick is this remedy in passing into the circulation that it may be detected in the Blood and Urine in ten minutes after lt is takes. ? In ordinary Pimples, Blotches, Worms or Insects in the Skin, Black Spots, Sores, Eruptions, kc, a few doses is sufficient to make the skin clear, smooth and healthy. In aggravated Diseases of the Skin, Sores, Ulcers, Fever Sores, Salt Rheum, Syphiloid, Secondary or Primary, this remedy cures permanently, and has cured after the treatment of Bicord, Velpeau, Du Barry, of Paris, and the same treatment in this coun? try, failed. (For the theory of cure, see Dr. Bad way's new medical bock, False and True, now ready;) also, many other diseases not proper to men? tion in a public advertisement But so powerful is this remedy, that physicians, who formerly had no faith in Sarsaparilla, are deeply interested in its wot - derful effects, as prepared by Dr. Radway in the SARSAPIRILLIAN RESOLVENT. It is acknowledged to be asuperioi, a safer, and more rapid cure than Buchu, Juniper, Cubebs, Tur? pentine, Copabia, kc, for all diseases of the Urinary Bladder, or Uterine Organs, and the only sure cure for Ulceration and Degeneration of the Kidneys. Dr. Radway has for several years given special at? tention to diseases of these organs, and his trea? tise ou Kidneys Bladder, and the Urine in "False and True " is the most thorough and explicit of any published. THE SARSAPARILLIAN RESOLVENT is the best remedy in tte treatment of Consumption of the Lungs and Bronchitis. It purifies the blood and loosens the phlegm, so that expectoration is easy. It supplies the waste and decay of the body with new and healthy material, and repairs the emaciated body with new strength-it secures a good appetite, and checks tte waste and dissolution of the lungs.

Some time since, mercury, in the disguise of pills, powders, kc, was given for all diseases of the stomach and liver, while quinine was freely administered for the chills. At length HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS mode its ad? vent, and an entire new system of healing was In? augurated. The beneficial effects of this valuable preparation were at once acknowledged, and mine? ral poisons suffered to sink into that obscurity to which an enlightened age has consigned them. There have been many spurious Bitters palmed up. on the community, which, after trial, nave been found perfectly worthless, while HOS TETTER'S has proved a blessing to thousands, who owe to it their restoration to health and strength. For many years we have watched the steady pro? gress of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS in public estimation, and its beneficent effects as a cure for all complaints arising lrom the ^omacb, of a morbid nature, and wc are free to say nat it can be relied upon as a certain relief and remedy. Its pro prietors have made thc above preparation, after rears of careful study and sitting, and are now reap? ing the reward claimed by this valuable specific, and ifhich they 60 richly merit. It is the only prepara? tion of the kind that ls reliable in all cases, and it herefore demands the attention of the afflicted. Jone 13 6 ?.NEW MARRIAGE GUIDE.-AJ?
