SPECIMEN BRI‘jKs OF TH E, PARTISA’¢ PRESS. The El .gance of Political Literature. we ' Vallandigham the Finances, Y@rom the New York Tribune (radical republican), August 18. We print on another page so much of a Seymour ‘and Blair speech recently made at Fort Wayne, Ind., by C. L. Valiandigham as relates to the national Qnances and aebt. The more material falsehoods em! odied in that speech are as follows:— 1, That the republican party intend that the Rational debt shall never be paid. A law framed and passed by the republicans in Con- gress provides that not less than one per cent Of the principal of that debt shall be redeemed and cancelled in “each tiseal year. No republican, Bo far as we can remember, has ever pro; the repeal of that provision, But in fact we have nor very much faster than this law requires, The lebt was officially reported, on the 1st of August, 1885, as $2,757,000,000 over and above all the mone; then im the Treasury. On the 1st of this month It was oilicially reported at $2,510,000,000 over and above the money in the Treasury. That we had, within the Jast three years, paid off $247,000,000 of principal of ‘the debt is an officially established and undeniable fact. But we had in fact paid much more than this, ‘We had paid over $100,000,000 to soldiers for muster- ing out bounties, large sums additional for pay and allowances due those who have been mustered out es August 1, 1565, and at least $50,000,000 due to tes for the equipment, &c., of their troops for the war. Then $32,000,000 of the present aggregate of our debt is really owed by the Pacific Kauroads, to which the government loans its credit at a eertain rate per mile; but the bonds are pay- abie, principal and interest, by the roads, and are actually paid by them, The government savea enormous sums by using those roads for the trans- rtation of its troops, munitions, provisions, mails, -, &C., and stops the interest on the bonds out of these payments. These $32,000,000, therefore, are only an apparent, not a |, augmentation of the Hor which is actually but $2,478,000,000, We have im the last three years paid off considerably more than atenth of the principal of all we owed when our volunteer armies were disbanded, and can pay hereafter much more easily heretofore, It is ved false, therefore, that we do not intend to pay ie fone by the fact that we have paid and are pay- Mr. Vallandigham deliberately lies when he as- gerts that the republicans propose to increase the Gebt to $3,400,000,000. It was not $2,600,000,000 on the Ist inst.,’ but $2,510,000,000, and’ that is every cent that we intend to make It or to pay. Whoever Controverts this 1s a foolish, reckless ar. 3, Mr. Vallandigham asserts that uhe debt “was to have been patd in paper.” Here he lies again with malice prepense and in the faceof abundant and most peretngapie testimony. We have quoted over ain Mr. Thaddeus Stevens’ repeated aver- ments in advocating the passage of the Legal Tender act, that every greenback was fundable at the prepare of the holder im a six per cent stock (the ive-twentics) whereof the Runolpal was pavanie after twenty years in gold. Nobody then disputed or demurred to this; while most of Mr. Stevens’ associates on the Committee of Ways and Means ex- pressly confirmed it, That the interest of those bonds ‘was payable in coin is expressly and undeniably stip- ulated; and Congress provided that nothing but eoin should be received for duties on imports expressiy to furnish the wherewithal to pay the interest and one per cent of the principal of the debt in coin each year, as by law required, fome one having thereatter raised the cavil that per- haps the principal of the five-twenties might be paid m “legal tender,” Secretary Chase was appealed to, and promply responded that every dollar of the per- manent or funded debt of the United States was pay- able in coin. So said Secretary Fessenden, two years later; so said Secretary McCulloch, afer his accession. Every Secretary has thus assured those Who were solicited to take the bonds that they were wabie in cuin. The bonds were taken in virtue of assurances, given first in Congress, then reiter- ated by every Secretary of the Treasury who issued them. Any Villain who now says they are payable = [syarere would as readily say, if he could hope a Sustained in it, that they should never be paid iL. é Vallandigham asserts that the bondholder paid enly $500 .or a bond calling {%, $1 OR Herein the vil- lai lies no less basely than before. ‘The great mass of 3 \i8 gost the holders nearly or quite their face in Coin. Very iiany of them were taken before our legal tender currency Was seriously Sopeciared; immense gmounts svon after Lee's surrender, when there was Dut twenty-five to thirty per cent difference between. backs and coin. But, in, the West was ely in debt to the East, the farmers to the mer- nts, young business men to capitalists, at the be- eer of the war. All these were coin debts—con- when every dollar meanta silver dollgr or its full equivalent. ‘hese debts—tmany of them mort- gages—have been aimost entirely paid off in “legal tender” during and since the war. Every dol- lar of the “legal tender” paid a dollar of coin aebt; and the creditors were told, “You ean invest your ‘legal tender’ in government bonds, which are payable, principal and rest, in coin,” Hundreds of millions so. paid were so in- vested, the farmers paying off their moi ea with half the produce that would have been required but for the war and the consequent legal tender. It was the debtor interest, not the creditor, that profited by our currency debasement. The creditors took less than par for their debts, because the law prescribed it; and now all the scoundrelism of the country ‘would cheat them out of the proceeds al! ther. 5. Val. says he is ‘“‘infavor of one currency tor all id for all.” In this he lies, a8 usual, and the whole drift of his speech proves it. Such a currency is perfectly practicable, perfectly attainable. We need not wait three months for it. Let the people unite in the resolve. “We will have 8] ments restored furshwith,” and the end is achieved. There is no want of m but abundant want of will. Too many want to sell their property or pay their debts in a false measure of value, and so com- D.ne to clog the wheels of resumption. Vallan- digham is either one of them himseif or one who seeks to make capital out of the delusion. He pre- tends great interest inthe crippled soldiers, yet he knows right well that to pay of the bonds in backs must reduce the pensioner’s pitvance to far less than it now is, Every widow’s mite now de- phone in @ savings bank, the pay of every laborer rho works by the year and is at the year’s end and the Property of widows and hans the Trustees and guardians woul confiscated by the measure he advocates. Green- made so abundant being not even jundab'e, they would sink to a merely nominal value, like the French assignats or our old Contt- mental shinplasters, and speculation would ride roughshod over paralyzed and raat | ind re It would be the carnival of swindling the of productive labor. 6. Vall ham says that the rey of the debt will save to the taxpayers $1,079,000,- 8 that is about two-thirds the sum total of the Aave-twenties, he must mean that those are at once to be paid of in backs and the greenbacks e assert that the injury and loss mever paid at all, inflicted on labor and production by such a sudden and enormous inflation of the currency would exceed thrice that stupendous amount. A few would be made rich by At but the immense mi ity of aang 11 pond would be ruin He tes tier and Morton as Wo this plan, bot Bey‘that the tve-twenties may’ be pald'in the green. u e five backs already existing; it is quite another to say that fMfieen hundred mililons of green- backs be printed off expressly to swamp and extinguish the five-twenties. The former would pomewhat appreciate all money values; the latter would whelm all values in general ruin. Yet it is only by this latter that any such sum a8 $1,079,000,000 an be saved in paying off the five-twenties, 7. Finally, Val. comes very near the truth when he Qeserts that the republican party is hostile to his scheme while the democratic is pledged to it. He adds that Seymour ‘‘has emphatically and unequivo- cally ed the democratic platform— epeying the fve-twenties bi backs—and says ‘t his ad- ministration shal governed by it.” He may have Said °o, but his heart is notin it. His e8 last spring prove that he Knows this whoie scheme to be 8 ruinous as itis rascally, and if he now succumbs to it he covers his name with indelible infamy. Insanity in the Seymour Family. {From the New York World (Radical head), Aug. 18.) Horatio Seymour's father Inimeeit fo a tt of inaanity ; his mother was for ten years previous to her death an inmate of an insane asylum ; hls father's brother committed suicide while insane, and an aunt of ther also killed herself While insane.

BEYMO! WILLIAM. He was born in Connecticul; served as a member of the New York Assembly in 1832 and IsB4, and was a Kepresenta- tive in Congress from 1835 to 1837, Major Moses Seymour, Governor Seymour’s grand- father, was @ cavalry officer in the war for inde- pendence, He had five sons, all of whom were men of mark and distinction, and one daughter. In one of the local Connecticut histories—the ‘History of Litchfleld”—1t is related that ‘‘of these five sons, one e distinguished as a financier and bank presi- dent, two became high sheriffs of this county, one was @ representative, senator and canal commis- stoner in the State of New York; and one was for twelve years a United States Senator from Vermont— the most remarkable family of sons ever raised in Litchfleld. The daughter, Clarissa Seymour, mar- ried the Rev. Freeman Marsh, for many years the rector of St. Michael’s church in this town.” The heredit taint of insanity \if such there was) seems never to have been discovered or suspected by the numerous constituencies who elected so many members of this family to positions of oificial trust. Onice ing ry ir experience) would seem to be a prophylactic of wonderful sureness and efficacy in preventing the development of hereditar, insanity, a8 no member of the family ever exhibi the slightest symptom of mental aberration while in office, and nearly the whole ler have been public characters since the beginning of the Revolutionary ‘ar—that is to say, ever since the country had a separate history. Governor Seymour's father, Henry Seymour, who removed to this State, was @ canal commissioner, a member of the council of appoint. ment under the first State constitution; he served in” both branches of the State Legislature, was Mayor of Utica and President of the Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company. On his mother’s side Governor Seymour is also descended from a Revolutionary otticer. His maternal grandfather was Lieutenant Colonel For- man, of the First New Jersey regiment, and after the close of the war a member of the cele- brated Order of the Cincinnati Instead of an ancestry of invalids Governor Seymour comes of a vigorous, healthy stock, which has propa- gated an extraordinary crop of sound intellects of more than average ability. The objection which is made to him now was equally an objection to his election to the offices he has already filled; nay, it was a greater objection, supposing it to have any force at all, for his having escaped through a long career Creates a presumption that the supposed tendency is fictitious. It was equally an objection to every one of the numerous members of the Sey- mour family who have so often and so honurabiy discharged public duties; for if it be a hereditary tendency in the family it was lable to break out 1n any one of them. ‘he fair inference, the irresistible inference from the history of the family is that no ‘such hereditary tendency exists; and even if it be true that there have been one or two cases of insanity it must have been superinduced by accidental causes and not transmitted with the blood, Governor Seymour is no more liable to become insane than any other man in the country; but who dares aver that his competitor is no more liable to have his reason clouded by his own long standing habits than any other man in the country? The statements of aneye witness, which we copied yesterday from the Chicago Times, bregent @ melancholy picture—but not of ihe democratic candidate. Squabblitig_About Poor Miles O’Reilly’s Old Shoes. {From the New York Tribune (radical republican), August 18. The Tammany cormorants are hunting around after the shoes of poor Miles O'Reilly. Though a member of the democratic party ‘and a personal ally of its leaders, when poor Halpine died not one word ‘was sald and not one yO taken by the Tam- many leaders to give hus ly any assisiance, Now that a republican Governor has given the oftice to a ntieman who hold it for the benefit of the mjly, it would seem that common decency would suggest to Tamm: the retaining of him there for another year. We find the o1 of the party, how- ever, nominating President Thomas Coman, on the ground of his popularity “and that the Fourth ward, which he so ably represents, has not for many years possessed a county office, Tommy is a live man, and is backed up, I hear, by some of the most Prominent men in the city.” , then, we are to consider Tommy as a candidate for the bread of poor Miles O’Reilly’s children.

BERLIN, August 4, 1868, To celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Uni- versity of Bonn, an institution founded in 1818, ranking among the first of the kind in Germany, many thousands of former Bonn students, from the annual courses dating as far back as 1818 up to last year’s, also representatives from all other German universities, were gathered to that beautiful town, on the left bank of the Rhine, in the government dis- trict of Cologne. Indeed all the importance of Bonn is due to its university. Founded in 1786 by the Archduke Maxi- milian Frederick, 1t was changed under the French régime, in 1802, into a lyceum. The existing uni- versity was refounded in 1818 by King Frederick William III, of Prussia, It 1s an institution most generously endowed, boasting of splendid lecture rooms, @ library numbering over 200,000 volumes, a museum of Rhenish antiquities, scientific col- lections innumerable, an additional anatomical laboratory, botanical garden, an agricultural department, and last, though not least, the renowned observatory which has given birth to the far-famed celestial charts. The University comprises five faculties, in which over ninety professors and teachers give instruction. The number of students—formerly over a thou- sand—amounted in the years 1855 to 1864 to upwards of 800-860. Among the many distin- guished professors formerly and now attached to the institution are particularly to be mentioned:— Dorner, Rothe, Bleek and Lange, in evangelicai the- ology; Hermes and his scholars, Achterfeld and Braun, in Catholic theology; Walter, Blahme and Bocking, 96 jurists; Harless, Naumann, Albers and Mayer, in the medical faculty; in the different branches of philosophy, the philologists and antiqua- rians Weicker and Ritschel; the archeologist Otto Jahn, Brandes; the orlentalist Lassen; the mathema- ticlan Plicker; the astronomer Argelander; the min- eralogist Noggerath; the chemist Bischof; the Ger- manist Simrock; the Romanist Diea; the historians Arndt, Dahimann, Von Sybel, &c. With the usual German elaboration the oficial celebration was not designed to be an affair of a few or of twenty-four hours, but must extend over days. The town of Bonn was rigged out in ite hola attire, streets fairly covered with banners and wreaths; and, to give the stadents an oppor- tunity of showing their humor, there was, apart from the numerous triumphal arches and decora- tiona, an old pump, stand: in the market | ay) tranamogrified by these facetious gentlemen into a colossal obelisk. At the foot of it were it huge bears—not very di rous, it is true, aa they were closely chained up—looking as natural as life. The symbolic meaning in German student life is that when they borrow small sums of trades people, and the payment 1s contingent on papers replenishii their purses, this is called “chaining up the bear.’ AS one looks at the obelisk, somewhat higher, four harmiess les appear—the symbol of the Univer- sity beedies, corresponding in number. For the further perfection of our studies in this branch of soology, Which we may call “academic,” we now con- template two foxes and two camels, representing the new students and the old pat But on the very summit of this monument, embellished with coats of arms and emblems representing the various clans among the students, there is a crown, formed of those most necessary beer and wine house adjuncts so indispensabie to the stugent’s existence—namely, bottles, wine and beer giasses, corkscrews, 4c, But, oh horror! above the crown stands a gigantic tomcat, with curved back and wavy tai out in the air, while @ smaller cat creeps under his belly. What may this mean? This question was an- swered by 4 fine looking, sturdy Teuton, who seemed to take pity on our evident ignorance. “You well know,” he said to ua, “that the student's life, with- out beer and wine and creature comforts, would be erfectly unbearable; but the excess in these, hardly 4 be avoided when you meet with company, is dé signated by the cat, which serves as a symbol of that certain state bordering on happiness and not far off from misery, the best antidote for which you see up there near the cat—i. ¢., two large herrings, a fish, important in academical logy, a8 nature Las evi- dentiy designated it for such emergencies.” The opening day of the festival was the ist inst., monster trains having the previous days broughi their numerous visitors to the town. Iu the morn- ing at eleven o’clock the worthy Nestor, Professor F. G.

For months past the country was visited by a season of drought unparalleled for many years. Root crops were dried up in the earth; potatoes, the peasants’ food, showed » small, inferior yield, and predictions of ‘another bad winter’? were numerous, But the latest accounts of the cereal harvest go far to dispel such Gloomy prospects. It is represented to be the fines? both in quantity and quailty for several seasons past. Cutting operations are proceeding with great vigor, but the scarcity of fleld hands 18 much felt in many districts and has caused the rate of wages to reach the highest point ever known in Ireland.

The total area under cereal crops in 1867 amounted to 2,102,148 acres, @ decrease of 77,759 acres on the Year 1866, but wheat, oats and bere gave a larger yield by 0.4 cwt., 0.6 cwt. and 0.2 cwt, per acre, re- specticely, than in 1866.

Parade of the First Cavalry, N. G. 8S. N. Ye The Furst regiment of cavalry, National Guard, pa- raded yesterday at Tompkins square and went through a number of evolutions. Neither the colonel nor Lieutentant Colouel was present, and the attend- ance at the roll call of companies was much smalier in consequence than it would have been were those officers present. The regiment paraded nearly three hundred men and was commanded by Major John Madden, the senior major. The day was very favor- able to a military spectacle in our Champs de Mars; but very few people were present as spectators, a fact which the officers of the regiment should re- joice at. The various movements attempted were Movements of the Papal Troops—The Camp on the Alban Hill—Brigands ut the Base— Preparations Against Invasion—An Eastern Celebrity—Battle Painting. Rome, July 28, 1868, General Zappi’s brigade has returned to Rome and the camp on the Alban Hill 18 now occupied by General De Courten’s brigade, which consists princi- pally of zouaves and indigenous chasseurs, with the usual proportion of cavalry and artillery. These troops will remain in camp until the end of August and will be honored by a visit from the Supreme Pontiff on the 4th of the ensuing month, probably under more sunny auspices than accompanied his first appearance on the plains of Hannibal. The King of Naples is in comparative solitude this sum- mer, the Queen being in Bavaria and two of his broth- ers on their honeymoon tours, and his Majesty hag therefore resolved to combine econo- my and salubrity by making the little mountain village of Rocca di Papa his residence for this sultry season, whence, being in the immediate vicinity of the camp, he can modernize the military acquirements of his youth by participa- ting in the manceuvres of the troops and study the effect of rifled cannon and breech-loaders, and refiect upon the advantages which his troops would have enjoyed if they had been in possession of such weapons when assailed by the irregular bands and regular battalions of Garibaldi and Claldini. The presence of so many thousands of soldiers on the summit of the Alban Hill does not prevent its base from being still infested by brigands. on Satur- day last Sigior Santovelll, a landed proprietor of Frascatl, was stopped by two armed ufin at the | executed in a very bungling manner, aad it seer Molara, five miles from that town, His coachman, utterly itaponsibis tone tne regiment at any ae os fh eran Alt rs junction 0 ! quring the progress of the drill to form a ail up, but pu orses @ gallop, an : Uisappeintea Fobvers fired after thelr intended vic: | CofC line.
