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,

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.

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.
