Seymour ia their second It is believed that they control over one hundred and sixty votes. Washington McLean and Judge Flynn of Cincinnati, had a private interview with Seymour, Tilden, Church and Green of New York.

To-morrow being the Fourth of July and a national holiday, no paper will be issued from this office on that day. "ijo i The Fourth of July. With to-day the ninety-second year of American Independence is completed. In most of the towns and Tillages of the state to-morrow will be appropriately celebrated. In this city there will be no formal celebra tion, but Yankee Robinson's grand show will afford amusement for the crowd, and picnics, drives, and -boat excursions will be among the more select entertainments of the day.

The Democratic National Convention. The Ku-Klux Klaus have gathered in.Nef York, and will meet in form.ll convention to-morrow to nominate their candidates for President and Vice President. Upon whom the choice will fall, it is impossible tdan ticipate. The probabilities are, however, that the candidate for President will not be either of the gentlemen most prominently mentioned as likely to receive the nomination. There is great division of opinion both as to candidates and platform.

It is a division, however, that may be the more easily reconciled from the fact that it is i no way concerned about principles, and only relates to availability. Any candidate or any. platform wonld be adopted if a majority thought success would follow. The difficulty and theperplexity of the copperhead fraternity is to decide' what man and what platform would most promote their chance eff winning. Consequently, when the decision is once made, we look to see general harmony prevail among the old stagers of the party, whether it be Pendleton, greenbacks, and a- "wince man's government," Chase, specie payments, and negro suffrage, or any variation or "visible admixture" of, these heterogenous elements.

Eneonraging Perjury. The New York World is giving instructions to the Southern Democracy on the subject of the test-oaths. It lays down the proposition that the Government lias no right to require an oath of allegiance as a condition to the restoration of rebels to citizenship; and that such oaths when taken, may be very, properly disregarded. It ex-presses the hope that the white citizens of the South will not allow themselves to be disfranchised by their own squeamishness in relation to the test oaths," and urges them to "accept the new governments for the time being, rote under them, gain control of them, and use their ascendancy when they have gained it." We suppose this is good Democratic doctrine. The solemn ith thev had taken, tci ohev th eruistitution and laws of the United States Was no obstacle in 1861 in the way of Democratic Senators and members of Congress 'when ther engaged in rebellion and sougnt to destroy the constitution and laws.

Surely such men will not now be squeamish" as th World calls it. They will not hesitate to add new perjuries to the old. Practice makes perfect. For so trifling a-thing as the violation of a solemn oath will any Democrat hesitate? Never! The World need not be disquieted. There will be no squeamishness." Its friends will stoutly swear to -whatever is necessary to enable them co-operate partyJ with the Democratic Jas.

A MEXICAN MUSS. San Francisco, July 3. Mazatlan advices of June 22d state that a serious difficulty is reported to have occurred between Commander Bridge, of the English war steamer Chartillan, and the Mexican authorities. The Chartillan got into a dangerous position and fired signal guns for assistance. A pilot went out and released the Bhip from danger.

The captain refused to pay for the services rendered, and went to Mazatlan. The collector of the port of Mazatlan was notified that one of the officers of the Chartillan was conveying specie aboard to avoid the export duty, and had him arrested and searched, and found gold on his person. The Captain of the Chartillan. came ashore in great excitement and declared that his vessel and himself were insulted by the search of his subordinate. Words followed, which ended by the collector ordering the captain to be searched on suspicion.

He was also implicated in smuggling. The captain then went aboard the Chartillan and notified the inhabitants by proclamation that he would bombard Mazatlan for the insult offered to England. Numerous notes passed between Commander Bridge, Gen. Carona and the civil authorities. The American Consul acting as mediator, ultimately induced Bridge to modify his proclamation so as to place the port of Mazatlan under blockade so far as Mexican vessels were concerned, not interfering with others, until he receives orders from the Admiral commanding.

Bridge first demanded that the offieer who searched his subordinate and seized the money should be sent on board the Chartilan to be dealt with as he saw fit. Carona replied that sooner than submit to such an outrage he would allow the city to be bombarded, telling him in significant language that if he had any recommendation to make, he would make it in the manner customary to civilized nations, through the proper channel.
