leave Washington on their return

surance of the President, that an
order will be issued to Gen. Meade to
take the necessary precautionary
measures to prevent distur Dances at
the ensuing electIOu by the proper
distribution of the troops now In
Alabama and oe those which may in
addition be furnished.
j VI LnG Leg
islsture are not connected with the
committee now here.
Governor Smiths veto of the bill
authorizing the election of Presiden-
tial Electors by the Legislature has
not yet been considered by that body.
1t will probably be sustained, but a
popular election to choose members
of the Electoral College rt quires ad-
ldition gisl1tion, about which there
is doubt.
A majority of the Legislative Com
mittes now in Washington are repre-
! scented as opposed to any election, be-
ing apprehensiYe of bloody results,
unless he Republicans allow it to go
by default. The Governor, however,
and a minority of the committee, and
possibly a majjrityzot both branches
of the Alabama Legislature, do not
entertain this fear, aud are favorable
to taking the sense of the people at
all hazards .s.se-a s.
