The following is a well-authenti? cated Cabinet scene; Browning led off, declaring himself for Seymour and Blair, following his-remarks by the assertion that there should be harmony in the Cabinet. Wellsaud MoOullooh followed in the same strain not, however, so forcibly urging the chanoes in the Cabinet, unless Seward, Evarts, Randall and Schofield, who are absent, act in acoord with the President. A Democratic Conference, at New York oity, indicates that Hoffman will be the Democratic candidate for Governor. He is the Tammany favorite. Stevenson's majority for tho Ken? tucky Governorship, will exceed 50,000. There is a general feeling in Franco that Napoleon is preparing for some grand event.

Tho American Association for the Advancement of Science nv eta in Chicago during tho coming week, its session commencing on Wednesday. Tho Association was organized in 1818, aud has held sixteen meetings in as many different cities of the United States and Canada. After tho Newport meeting of 18G0, no meetiug was hold until 18G6, when the Association again carno together in Buffalo. Tho sixteenth meeting, in 18?1, was hold in Burlington, Ver? mont Since tho war, however, there has been a considerable falling off in the attendance. Seymour's Letter of Acceptance. NEW YOEE, August 5.-Seymour has written a lotter formally accept? ing the nomination by the Democra? tic Convention. He says it was unsought and unexpected, but he was caught up by the overwhelming tide which is bearing the country on to a great political chango, and he finds himself unable to resist its pressure. Tho resolutions adopted by the Convention aocord with his views. He delayed a formal accept? ance until the adjournment of Con? gress, for the purpose of seoing what light tho action of Congress would throw upon the interests of the country. The Congressional party not only allied itself with tho milita? ry power which is to be brought to bear directly upon the elections in many of the States, but holds itself in perpetual session, with tho avowed purpose of making such laws as it eliall see fit, in view of the election soon take placo. Never before has Congress takeu a menacing attitude towards elections. Under tho influ? ence of Congress, some of tho States aro proposing to deprive tho citi? zens of tho right to voto for Presi 0k, dontial electors; thereby the first bold step has been taken to destroy tho right of suffrage. Ho refers to . tho demands of tho tax-gatherers. Says mon aro admitted representatives of some of tho Southorh States with declarations upon their lips that they cannot live in tho States they claim to reprosent, without military pro? tection. Tboy owo their soats to thc disordor at tho South; and that very fact prompts thom to koop it in anarchy. In vain, the wisest Re? publicans protest against thia policy. Tbero is hardly an ablo man who helped to build tho Republican or? ganization, who has not, within tho past three years, warned it against excesses, whilo many havo been driven from its ranks. Personally, tho Presidential offico has no attrac? tions for him. During the war he had gi von 10,000 commissions to officers of tho army, and knew they demand tho Union they fought for. Tho largost meeting of these gallant soldiers ever held endorsed the ac? tion of tho Convention. Re does not doubt that there will be a tri? umph which will bring back peace and prosperity to our land, ana give once moro the blessings of wise, ' economical and honest government. -.- - UV A NCI AL A.>f?>.

Tho re-action in favor of the National Democratic nominees for President and vice-President con? tinues to increaso, both in volume and rapidity, with every passing hour. It is not that men have changed their opinions ns to Gen. Grant, but they are opposed, irrevo? cably, to the destructive principles of the party whose standard-bearer he has weakly consented to become. Let us give a conversation we chanced to overhear at Long Brauch, some few days ago, aptly illustrating this point: A party of five gentlemen, who had just bathed on the beach, came up the steps to tho crest of tho bank, and then commenced talking politics, as is so usual with Americans. ' "I confess," said one, who appear? ed a Democrat, while tho four others were well-known oflice-holdiug radi? cals, "I confess that when I first saw tho nominations of Seymour and Blair I threw up the sponge, and said to myself, 'There's defeat, and defeat well merited.' But within the last ten days, or fortnight, I find the re-action so strong in Seymour's favor, that I am confident he and Blair will be elected." "But, what makes you think so?" nervously inquired a fat Graut man, who is now worth $400,000 or $500, 000, niado duriug tho war from shod? dy contracts. "Give us some evi? dence of the change in opinion to which you refer." "Gentlemen, I can't give you auy precise proof," auswered tho Demo? crat. "But I have been a studcut of public opinion all my life, aud this chango to which I refer surrounds mo in the atmosphere. I can give you a good illustration of it if you wish, and one within the experienco of all five of us withiu the last half hour." "Let's have the illustration," hic? cupped a public officer of the Repub? lican persuasion, connected with whiskey, who, between gambling, fast horses and fast women, is pro? bably spending $100,000 per month at the branch this summer. "Let's have the illustration, by all means." "Gentlemen," rejoined the Demo? crat, pointing to tho breakers on the beach below, "You seo those billows rolling right in on the shore, as if with a power that nothing could re? sist-a power that nothing could boat out to sea against-a power that must strand, high and dry, on tho beach, whatever is opposed to it. And yet you all know, gentlemeu, that if any of you ventured out there one inch beyond your depth, in despite of all theso clamorously roaring, fonming breakers on tho surface-you would bo soized by a silent under-tow, rush? ing along in darkness and silence, with neither purado nor any external evidence of strength; and you would be carried right out to sea by this in? visible agency, dospito all tho clamors of tho in-rolhng breakers and all your individual struggles. This is my illustration for the under-tow now setting in favor of Horatio Seymour and Frank P. Blair"-but the four radicals did not liko thc illustration. [New York Citizen. The radicals tried another rally in Brooklyn on Thursday night. A Qrant flag-raising at the post office was the provocation. The attendance was slim, and the speeches so lean that the party organ only gave tho affair throe lines the next morning. A Wire-Whlpper Blobbed by Wornt n. ' Last evening one Mr, Downer pre? ferred a charge- of assault, with intent to kiil, uguinst a humber of his neigh? bors. Downer was a sorry-looking object-his looks giving the truth to tho assertion that he had suffered some hard usage. His clothes were torn and thoroughly soaked with water, his face was scratched, and he held in his hands bundles of his hair and whiskers, which ho said had been pulled out. He was sitting in his house down on tho bench quietly, doing nothing nt all to break the peace, when who should come in but all the women that lived about there, and before he said a word they assailed him with clubs, sticks, guns and brick-bats, and beat bim to a jelly. He knew all the women, and he wanted thom ar? rested and punished. A well known citizen came in and told the story in a manner which did not add much to the credit of Downer. Tho gentleman bad been on the beach for an evening promennde, when his attention was attracted by loud cries, which came from a knot of shanties some distance away. Upon going to thom, he found that Downer was indulging in his usual amusement-whipping his wife-and the woman, suffering from the blows, v/as uttering most heart-rending cries. The gentleman, well aware of the danger of interfering between husband and wife when quarreling, nevertheless was about to interfere, when his attention was attracted to the actions of a woman, who looked as though she had the strength of a young Samson in her limbs. She ran from shanty to shanty, calling out the women, who promptly re? sponded, and it did not seem to be more than ten seconds before a dozen were assembled, each armed with a mop, a broom, a fire-shovel or a pair of tongs. The band marched direct? ly to the house from whence carno tho cries, and, without the ceremony of knocking, entered. Tho gentle? man followed, deeply interested. There was a sound of voices, as if somebody were ordering somebody else out of his bouso, in very coarse h.rcruage, sadly mixed up with oaths, lucu there was a general onslaught upon tho wifo-whipper. Mops that had been soaked in dirty water swabbed bis.face; blows from brooms came thick and fast upon his head. The astonished wife-whipper dropped tho subject of his blows, and looked to his own safety. He struck at ono of the women with his fist, and this brought up tho rear-guard of fire shovels and tongs. On his head came tin? blows, thick and fast. Ho grappled with ono of tho women. The rest immediately dropped their weapons and grappled with him. Strong they were, their union per? fect, and their cause just. They fairly scratched Downer upon the floor, and scratched him up again. They loft the iuipriuts of their nails upon his face and hands and neck. They pulled out his hair. Itesist bc tried to, but ho was as a child in tho hands of tho strong-armed women, and be soon found it out. Cowed, beaten, demolished, ho bellowed like a mad bull, and begged that they would not kill him. A parley followed-a truce they call it in war times. The prostrate, thoroughly cowed individual was told that his abuso of his wife-a poor, sickly woman-had grown to be a nuisance, which could no longer bo submitted to. They had complained of him, but his wife refused to ap? pear against him, and be went un? punished. If ho would promise never to strike bis wife again, they would lot him go; if not, they would puuish him until there was not a breath of life left in his body. Downer was ready for anything; he was already the worst whipped man to be found. Ho promised, promised faithfully as a man could promise, but they brought a cross aud made him swear. He rebelled at this, but the upraised mops, and brooms, and shovels, and the clank? ing of a pair of tongs, brought him to his senses, and never did man take an oath moro earnestly. [Milwaukie Wisconsin. A RlOH THTNO!-Tho Bridgeport (Conn.) Fannel' reveals "a business transaction" that lately occurred in that city, which illustrates unmistak? ably the popular feeling in regard to the Presidential candidates. Some weeks since, tho great photographic establishment in Bridgeport received from a Now York house a largo order for "Grant and Colfax medals"-to be worn ou thc coat. But the salo did not como up to tho expectation of tho order, and within a week they have been re-shipped to the Bridge? port factory, with orders to chango tho portraits to "Seymour and Blair"-there being no other way of getting rid of tho medals! A correspondent of the World gives the most cheering account of the Democratic campaign in Illinois. The meetings aro largo and the enthusiasm intense. At a recent meeting in Mount Vernon, on the 18th ult., moro people turned out than have assembled collectively at every Grant meeting held in the State. H these indications continue, Illinois will give Seymour and Blair 40,000 majority, and elect nins out of fourteen Congressmen. HIGH-HANDED OUTRAGE-ABE WB AT THE' MERCY OF THE MTJDTTABY AND NEGROES?-A number of- the most respeoiable young men of Woodford County wero arrested last Monday night, without warrant or authority, by a band of Federal soldiers and negroes, and brought to this city yes? terday morning. Their names are Robert Davis, Henry Martin, John Gardner, James Pepper, Pell Ham? mond and Charles Gillespie. They were surrounded at the dead of night, when at homo and in bed, by a motley crowd, composed of an United States Marshal, armed sol? diers and negroes, who sported their navy revolvers iu the most defiant and insolent maimer. One of the young gentlemen (Mr. Pepper) was actually shot at by the soldiers. What does this all mean? Aro the radicals about to inaugurate another reign of terror here? Is the sanctity of Kentucky's homes to be violated again with impunity? Are the free white citizens of this State, guilty or not guilty, to be kidnapped in this outrageous manner by soldiers, aided by an unrestrained gang of brutal, armed Africans, animals that, when let loose, aro capable of any excess? It has not been a week .since a negro mob at Midway was chronicled, dur? ing which a young man by tho name of Benjamin Arnett was shot; and ?ow this Clime ia perpetruied against the right and liberty of free white citizens of this commonwealth, and the laws and authority of the State treated with the utmost contempt. It is high time wo were taking steps to protect ourselves.-Lexington {Ky.) Observer and Reporter, 28f/?. Tho New York Herald, like tho philosopher, J. N., bas defended both sides by placing itself alternate? ly in tho position of each and con? sidering matters from tho respective positions. On Wednesday it had a terrible loaning towards tho Demo? crats, whose comprehensive sympa? thies promised, in its opinion, to establish a "brotherhood" that would make tho heart of tho South and that of tho North beat responsively to each other. On Thursday it changed sides, and "saw another sight." Grant's election was neces? sary to avoid a war of factious. Again, on Friday it took up tho con? stitutional amendment with as much delight as would a boy a tin whistle found amidst ruins! The fourteenth article was tho philosopher's stone tho long-sought solution of our national troubles. It appropriates a long article to heraldish dogmatisms about the nature and utility of that amendment, and in a brief paragraph begs Gov. Seymour to endorse it. "If ho will sign that," (tho amend? ment,) says tho Herahl, "he will create tho greatest political sensation ever known in this country." In? deed? Would he not create a pro? founder sensation in tho Herald es? tablishment if ho were to pledgo to Mr. Bennett the mission to France in caso he is elected President? The Herald plainly has au objective point. Paris has loug been upper? most with it.-Richmond Dispatch. A CATHOLIC PRIEST IN PRION FOB REFUSING TO GIVE TESTIMONY.-Rev. Mr. Lambert Young, a Catholic priest of Frankfort, Ky., declined to give testimony in a case in the United States Court at Frankfort, and has been imprisoned in the jail at Louisville, Ky., by order of the Court, for contempt. The circumstances aro briefly these: On the 30th of January last, a mob gathered at tho Frankfort jail, took therefrom a negro man, charged with having committed au ou trago on an Irish girl, and, it is alleged, hung him. The civil authorities being un? able to suppress tho mob, sent for Father Young, who went to the jail, saved the lifo of tho jailor, and se? cured a hearing for tho Mayor. Father Young now holds, and very properly, too, that he was permitted to go into thc mob only because of his sacerdotal character; that it was improper for the civil authorities to use him as a pacificator becauso of his priesthood, and then endeavor to forco him to testify against parties whom ho saw on that occasion. It is not in any factions spirit, or spirit of contempt, he thus asks to bc re? lieved from testifying on tho witnoss stand, but purely from conscientious motives, holding that ho would, by so doing, bo degrading his priestly character, violato the obligations of his sacred office, and prevent priests in futuro from responding to tho call of the civil authorities iu similar cases. A NEW GERMAN DAILY PARER.-It is, perhaps, not known that tho Now Orleans Gazette, a German daily paper, which was extensively read in this State, has gone over to tho radi? cals, and wo are pleased to learn that tho German Democrats of New Or leaus at once withdrew their support, and subscribed $55,000 for the estab? lishment of a now German Demo? cratic paper, to be called the Now Orleans German Press. This paper is uow being published, and is already so popular as to make its success certain.-Oiinrleston News. London has been languishing nn?er a heated term of almost unex? ampled intensity.
