George Francis Train has been notified,
by cable dispatch, Of his nomination for
congress in the 9th district, in this city.
The committee urged him to pay the claims
against him and return at once. Yesterday
the committee received a dispatch accepting
the nomination aud stating that he had Of.
tered money to pay all claims, and it had
been refused, as his Imprisonment is for
purely political purposes.

sation with John Quincy Adams, who was
on his way home, he said the southern peo-
pie were rs loyal as any people of the north.
The two races he found to be friendly dis
posed towards each other and the negroes
peacable in all cases, except where they
were melted or influenced by carpet bag
gers.
Nothing was calculated to do greater
harm than distranchisement of the whites,
which was more extensive than he had any
'dea OF, and If the people Of the north could
see the condition of the south as he had,
reconstruction would soon 20 to the WALL
The negro now ruled the south despotically
but that could not last, for when people we're
properly appealed to on that question the
north would never submit that ten of our
best states should be governed by an ignor.
ant semi barbarous race.
On the subject Of the presidency he said
1t was now too late to change candidates.
The election Of Gen. Grant was inevitable
and such a movement would materially
damage the interests of democracy. He
never believed that Mr.. Chase could have
carried the day against Grant and certainly
not now; nor was there, he thought, an
available man in the field, even if time we're
afforded. He condemned the platform of
the democracy more than the candidates
and thought the only issue upon which they
should have gone before the people was re-
construction. He considered it very I'M
favorable that such men as Wade Hampton,
Forrest, and men like them ever participated
in the campaign.
From the administration of Gen. Grant
he said he had the best hopes that peace
would be restored and the questions or NE
gro domination and consequent ruin in the
south be speedily disposed of,and ere long we
would be living under the constitution as it
was.
AS regards his own chance for the govern
orship Of Massachusetts he said bis nomina-
ton was more compliment to him than
anything else. He had no idea of being
elected. The foregoing reported converse
ton of John Quincy Adams is either radi-
cal fabrication for the purpose of injuring
the democracy, or else big bid, gu his part
for republican votes for governor of Massa-
chusetts.-ED ARGUS.
