WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-The bubble has
burst. The Washington politicians who
went over to New York to compel Sey-
mour TO withdraw have returned crest
fallen, and the World recants in an article
ingenious, but by no means ingenious.
Seymour and Blair are our candidates and
the Democracy will fight it out on that
line
A prominent Southern politician, just
returned from a tour of the Southern
States, reports 4 complete revolution in the
sentiments of the people regarding negro
suffrage. Already prominent journals have
announced their adhesion to that policy,
and State Executive Committees have
passed resolutions in favor of admitting the
negro to suffrage, az part of the Demo
cratic or Southern platform, and an address
to this effect will shortly be issued. The
effect oflhis policy will insure every South
ern State but one for the Democratic ticket.
Radical employees in the departments
squirm under the assessment Just made on
them for the Presidential canvass, but they
must pay up under the penalty of losing
their places.
The Radicals spent enormous sums in
the October canvass, and are making
frantic appeals for aid, and conceding that
they still have apprebensions of the result
of the Presidential contest.
The officials of the Treasurer Office sub
scribed nine hundred and fifty dollars to-
day for the Radical election funds, Gen.
Spinner giving three hundred dollars.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-The Intelligencer'
this morning in double-leaded editorial
again demands a change of candidates. 1t
says, "If the contest is to be continued some
conclusive action, which will be recognized
by the Democratic and the Conservative
voters throughout the country should be at
once forthcoming, in such form as will give
it full authority. The change, if made,
must be thorough, and the demand for that
change is so general as to require the i'm
mediate attention of those who have
authority to speak TO the Democratic and
Conservative voters of the country. Two
weeks yet remain for action. Something
| decisive should be done and at once; not
in the form of Individual opinion, but in
order TO give force to whatever may be de-
termined upon. The National Democratic
| Committee should be convened and their
/ voices heard. In this crisis it is folly TO
deny the fact that a very general de-
sire exists for the proposed change, but
whatever is to be done must be done i'm
mediately."
