din oOmplisece with the request and
wishes Of many friends, I announce my.
self as a candidate for the office Of Gov

ne1t
Nv principles and views as Conserv-
ative, latter the strictest sect" are well |
known to the people Of the State. These
principles and views are what they Rave |
been. They will not be changed.

invite the people from their employments,
and add to the excitement which prevails
in the public mind, by hsranguing them
for their votes. We need all our energies
to meet the common enemy, and to pro-
vide means Of subsistence for our troops
in The field, and the people at home Let
the people 20 calmly and firmly to the
polls and vote for the man Of their choice.

whstever it may be.
If elected I will do everything in my
power to promote ths interests, the honor

The New York Times, in replying to an
objection to admitting the cabinet officers
into the House on the ground that 1t is un-
constitutional, ssys;
Hsursly it is as much in the power Of
Congress to admit Secretaries to seats in
the House, ss it is to admit Delegates
from the Territories. The Delegates sfs
not members, because they have not been
chosen as the Constitution requires, by
the people Of State. They cannot vote,
yet they have been given the right to speak
on'sny question before the House. We
don't ask even that much for the secrets'
ries. Let their right to speak be limited,
if thought proper, to questions affecting
their own respective departments. We do
not believe that they ought to be allowed
to mingle in the general debate. The
prime point is, that the head Of depart
ment shall be present when notice has
been gives that topic will be discussed
which relates to his sphere Of duty, shall
present his views and facts, and shall be
subject to as close Interpolation as the
public advantage shall demand"
The New York Tribune declares the reb-
Ell naval report published by the Sun in
New York, in December last, forgery
Who committed the forgery ii an interest
ing question, which itlesves unanswered.
The Copperhsads are already denOunc-
ing General Grant, and representing his
appointment as highly favorable to the
South. The Washington correspondent Of
the New York News, says:
"Ths appointment OF Grant as Lieuten-
ant General and commander Of all the ar
mics Of the United States, is not unsstis-
fatory to the rebels. Southern officers do
not place high estimate on his abilities.
They say he possesses great energy and te-
naoity but they deny that his successes
over those inferi.r Generals, Pemberton
and Bragg, evincs a military capacity of a
high order. They believe that when he
meets their fsYorite General Lee, he will

| At the late election in Tennessee for
members of State Convention, prepars-
tory 10 the civil reconstruction Of the
State, $4,000 votes were cast, and this, too,
under Governor Johnson's extra iron-clsd
oath.
Hon. Schuyler Oolfsx, in reply to re-
| quest to accept q denomination for Con-
eress, states that he had intended and no.
ped to retire at the end Of this term, but
on reconsideration Of the question he feels
/ that he should not decline if his constitu-
ents think otherwise, and that If nomius-
ted he will accepted.
It looks as though the supporters Of the
Administration will have another split on
Congressman in the Toledo District. A
csIl has been issued for 8 Convention to
meet in Toledo on May 81. The Blade OBJ
jects to the call ss calculated to continue
the distractions that have afflicted the dis
trict hitherto.
The people Of New York by majority
that will reach 100000 have decided to
amend their constitution Sc that soldiers
can vote. The Legislature Is therefore
preparing law to meet the case, and in
SO doing encounters the opposition Of the
Albany Atlas and Argus, and nearly all
the Democratic press of the State. In COM
menting upon the soldiers voting law, now
before the Legislature, the New York Tri-
bune advocates the proxy voting, and
makes very Tribunish suggestion that
the wives and daughters Of the:soldiers be
the persons designated to csst the vOtos.-
1t is confident they would not be insulted
at the polls.
