| GEN. GRANTS PosITIoN.-The Washington CORE
spondent of the Baltimore Gazette, under date of the
1St inst, says:
The newspapers at distance have been puzzled at
the opposition" Of Gen. Grant l realise that anx-
iety. He is substantially the Radical candidate
for the next Presidency. The leaders of the party
which aims at usurping the Government, who have in
squads been visiting, at intervals the metropolis ever
since the emeute OF Stantons removal, some time ago
came to the conclusiou in view of their probable de-
feat III the coming elections, to keep Grant in the back
ground for the present. He anxious to promuige
written adhesion the dogmas of the destructives

TIE ELECTION IN ALADAMA.-As an incident of
the late election in Barbour county, the Clayton Ban
ner relates the following: "Many of the negroes
came armed and one wagon loaded with guns, most
Of them Government guns, driven through the
streets. As the result Of this consummate folly three
negro men were accidentally shot-one of them said
to be mortay woun1ed.'
The Henry County Register has another incident of
the election Thus: "While a large crowd of ne
groes gathered around the window where the
voting was done in Abbeville, negro came up push
ing his way through the crowd entreang the negroes
to give way and let him get the polls to vote as he
