The Washington correspondent Of the Balti-
more Gazette writes:
Decidedly the m ,st inpudent proposition
which ever emanated even from the Radical
dictators is that looking to transfer of the
power to elect Presidential electors to the bo-
gus Legislatures of the Southern States. I
SPARED of carrying the reconstructed" States
even by the votes Of their own chosen dupes.
simultaneously, however, with this new and
shameless dodge intelligence comes that the
so-called Legislature of Georgia has repudia-
ted the dastardly wretch, Joe Brown, and the
indicted felon, Blodgett. Another change Of
tactics in that State is, therefore, now neces-
sary, and it has been suggested that Georgia,
together with Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri
and Delaware be ignored in the count by the
House, the latter four States not having
squared their electoral votes with the re-
o1irements of the stfourteenth article" The
excellent letter of General Blair is held up as o
scare crow to hide the Revolutionary purposes
of the, Jacobius. A blind man may see to
what point things are tending. The Radicals
do not intend to be beaten without plunging
the country into war. They are The real au-
thors Of the recent war, and are determined to
maintain their power at oil hazards.
In this view it becomes the Ieople Of this
couptry to scan 'sthe situation in earnest.
The regular army is under. the command Of
Grant, the candidate of the Radicals. Awide-
spread secret military organization, under the
command of Logan, called .oThe League" has
it's headquarters here in Washington. The
negroes are being armed, under Nb.command-
ers at the South. and orders Te being daily
issued by the cabal, Of which S(henck is the
head, at the National Capital plainly con-
templating the use Of force in thrusting Grant
into the Presidential Office tForewarned"
shoula lead to being sforearmedn If the peo-
pIe expect their voice in the November election
to be heard and regarded at all, they must be
prepared to enforce it. II they show anything
like the white feather, nothing can save the
nation from revolution, anarchy and blood
shed. The Radicals have no longer hope OF
fairly electing their ticket. The! are looking
solely to revolution to effect their purposes.
THE CHOICE OF PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS IN
THE souTH-ANT1CRATED TROUBLE.
A Washing dispatch to The New York
Herald says:
The project of choosing the Presidential
electors in the South by the Legislatures OF
the newly reconstructed States is causing no
little alarm in the official circles Of Washing
ton. Should the Radicals in those States, in
their desperate effort TO hold On to the reins
OF .DOWeI, T6HlJ huupb PlIh VI SnOdu1u6 D
the popular will, even though in strictly
legal sense it be constitutional, it is feared
that the people Of these States and also Of
many in the North and West, would not quiet
ly submit to be ruled over by Radical Presi-
dent thus elected in antsgonism to the popu-
lar will. However this may fbe, it is certain
that o deep feeling Of indignation prevails
here at the idea that such q plan as that now
proposed by the Radicals should be really en-
tertained.
BETTING ON THE PRESIDENCY.
The New York correspondent OF the Cincin-
matt Enquirer says:
The Tribune the other day stated that ten
thousand dollars were on deposit at the st.
Nicholas to be bet on behalfof Grants cleo
ton. Yesterday John Morrissey stepped in
and offered to cover it. He was told that no
such money for such q purpose was there, OF
ever had been. All reports ahsus Johns read, e
first place, he never bets against his party; in
the second place, he offers to bet even on Sey-
mour and Blair any day between THIS and eiec-
ton. Morrissey is queer, and, In some re,
spects, q great man. Some time soor viii
give you letter all about him OF facts not gen
erally known. His facility for naming the
Winning horse, the winning card, the winning
man. amounts to q certainty. No odds can be
had here On the Radical candidates. Betting
is even with plenty Of Democratic takers.
GRANTS PAPoosE.
Miss Anna Dickinson sound Republican au-
thority-declares that General Grants Indian
baby record in California" is far more "infa-
NOUS" than his whiskey record. The Indians
have been in the habit Of calling the President
of the United States their "Great Father" It
seems that some Of them can call the Radical
candidate for the Presidency their "Great
Father" even though he has not q shadow Of a
chance Of election. For shame, Miss Anna,
you make US blush.
