WASHINGTON, Oct. IL.
The results Of the October elections terri
fy and confuse the managers here. They
are afraid of defeat in the States recognized
to be in the Union, and are turning their
attention to the rebel States! Banks goes
back to Louisiana to manipulate its cleo
toral vote; andi am attempt will be made to
get up ticket In Florida. The Tennessee
usurpatiol will be persisted in.
Mr.. Lincoln will not nominate Chase to
Taney's vacant seat. He has not magnanim-
ity enough. He cordially dislikes the Ohio
leader. Personally he would prefer Stan
ton; and strong movements will be made In
that direction, while the prize is held out
to Senators and others, until after election.
Mr.. Seward quietly holds in his hand
what he considers the winning card, Will
liam M. Evarts, of New York.
There is secret but strong movement to
give the vacant seat on the United States
bench to Senator Harris, of New York, in
order to place Raymond in the vacancy in
the United States Sanate. All the influences
combine against Chase.
NEW COIN WITH MR.. LINCoLN'S EFFIGY.
regret to say that Mr.. Lincoln is, like
all paruenus, carefully avoiding everything
which can call to mind his humble origin,
and that he Is fast adopting the habits and
customs of personages of high rank. You
have already heard of that splendid sixteen
wheel car built expressly for his use at the
enormous cost of eighty thousand dollars, a
sum almost equal to his four years salary.
This is, however, nothing compared with
the new contrivance tried by some OF his
friends, for the purpose of raising him above
his present station, and OF making him
stand OH level with the crowned heads of
Europe. They are now testing the power
of endurance of the American people by
circulating coin Of the value of a cent
bearing on its face the portrait of Mr.. Lin
coin with these words around it, Pro grdttd
Del ct Populi, Lincoln. by the grace of
God and of the People, Lincoln, President
of the United States" The reverse is eX-
actly similar to that of the common cents
now in circulation. This new step in the
direction of monarchy marks the immense
distance which separates us from the past.
ANONYMOUS LErTER-wRITERs.
There is also another guilty practice en-
ployed by his creatures to silence the oppo-
sition-it is the practice Of writing anony-
nous letters to newspaper editors and poll
ticians. These letters contain the most ter
rible menaces against the delinquents, stat
ing that the day of retribution has come,
that their papers will be suppressed, the
liberty of speech impeached, and their per-
sons incarcerated. / have in the circle of
my acquaintance two editors who, during
the last two weeks, have received at least
ten anonymous letters warning them against
the course they are pursuing, and advising
them, il they persevere in it, that they will
be exposed to the most severe punishment
Immediately after Mr.. Lincoln's election,
which, they say, cannot fail to take place.
1t is said, also, that among Mr.. Lincoln's
secret police there is committee especial
ly appointed for the purpose of writing
these letters the effect of which is to intim-
idate the weak-minded, and frighten into
obedience those who are making opposition
to Mr.. LincOln's election.
