General Grants Communication with
General Pope on the Convention i'm
Georgia.
New YORK, Oct. 25.-The Tribune's spe-
cial says: The President to-day, referred
to the Secretary of War ad Interim, for
consideration and report, the petitions of
citizens of Georgia. mentioned in these dis
patches in Wednesday mornings paper, in
which complaint is made that Gen. Pope,
in appointing delegates for the Conven-
ton, gives undue advantage to the colored
over the white race. General Grant re-
turns the petition with his Endorsement,
substantially that it seems to him that the
allotment should be made by counties in
stead of Senatorial districts, as directed byT
General Pope, but as the time for the elec-
tion, the 29th, is so near at hand, he cannot
see how the matter can be remedied. He
has telegraphed to General Pope asking if
it is practicable to make the changes
sought, and whether it would not be better
to fix representation by counties instead OF
by Senatorial district. The reply of Cen
eral Pope is not yet received. 1t is to be
observed that General Grant does not claim
the power to direct the district command
ers, and therefore his communication is
merely suggestion. O.. e. ..z- I'd
