1t was Impossible to construe It into Al or.

undoubtedly have refused TO obey it. The
interview bttnetn the two gentlemen being

the staff Cficer who called upon the Judge.
But on Saturday afternoon the Copperheads

General has not really killed
some cherished scheme of vilIainy whicn had
been concocted AID Was ripening for exeeu-
tton on the day Of election. Not the least
prevalent are rumors as to the number Of
! troops sent here, their location, and where
| they came from. Ten thousand IRen we're
said to be encamped In the upper part Of the
| city; careful rtconnolseance failed to dis
cover any signs Of them. Seven thousand
were reported In garrison Of Fort Hamilton,
but, in fact, nothing more than the usual
number are present at that station One
thing, boseTer, Is certain, the troops are
within call conveniently located, and tu suf-
fcient force; but, as before stated, unless an
absolute necessity denands their appearance,
not an armed soldier will be seen in the clty
Of New York today. Among Union men,
the feeling Of satisfaction, upon the arrival
of the distinguished General, Is universal.
Many we'll known citizens have called upon
