1t will be seen by this table that the
great States of New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Missouri are conceded
to the Democracy. They also give up
Alabama, Georgia. Texas and Virginia
but claim Mississippi, State which
has already gone Democratic-and by
claiming the latter they still lack eight
votes of enough TO elect their ticket.
But conceding that the vote Of Virginia,
Mississippi and Texas will not be
counted, this takes seven votes from that
table, and by giving them all the other
States claimed, which we do not concede,
it still leaves the Radical ticket, By
.heir own showing, four short Of an cleo.
ton. But in addition TO this the States
of Indiana, Nevada, Nebraska and Wis.
consin claimed in the above table, arc
sure TO 90 Democratic, which will reduce
their electoral vote TO one hundred and
seventeen, or thirty-one short Of an cleo
ton, with the vote Of Virgins, Missis-
sippi and Texas excluded. Let them do
as they please, the Radicals are certain
to be defeated. Their own organs and
leaders reveal enough in their figuring
and actions to prove this fact, and tina,

RprroRs LEpokR: You saw thai Gen.
GilIsm recommended, through Gen.
Grant Tor to him). that Congress 30 mod
ify the Reconstruction acts as TO author
ixs the appointment to ofiice OF men who
had registered and were qualified voters
under that act, giving as his reason that
if the test oath is applied he cannot get
men to fiIl the Offices. Last week, Gen.
Gillem, upon proper recommendation
and at the request Of citizens of Sard's,
made the following appointments Of town
officers: Mr.. J. NJ. Henderson, Mayer;
Messrs. G. W. Ballentine, s. F. Dunlap,
J.H. Proudfit and SIR Blann, Alder
mes; c. c. Doisop, Constable. The
test oath (iron claa) was cent along with
the commissions, aud Of course not one
of the appointees conld subscribe to i,
and had therefore to decline the appoint
ments. So with nearly every town in
the State. Capt. NJ. Lathrop, agent Of
the Freedmen's Bureau, has been ap'
pointed Sheriff vice r. B. Jones, re-
moved Why Mr.. Jones was removed we
cannot imagine, and We had right 70
EXPECT that Gen. Giilem would treat nj
better than to remove our county officers
Heretofore elected by the people,, unless
! upon good cause. Mr.. Jones has been a
very faithful aud popular officer, and the
people of the county regret to give him
up, but the fiat has gone forth: "Of
with his head. So much for Bucking-
ham !"
The weather is very wet; indeed, we
are now having too much rain, and /
fear the cotton will be considerably in :

The Times says the election in Vermont
demonstrates the popularity Of Grant, and

The Herald says The Republican victory in
Vermont is owing partly to the unwise course
Of Southern 6re-eatina 1ators, proclaiming
their devotion to the h9hal aag aid the YER
monters went to the ballot-noA as if expect
ing to fight the old battles over again.
The World says the Republican triumph in
Vermont is like the Dutch taking Holland.
The Democrats allowed the election to go by
default, 1t not being considered an indication
Of the sentiment OF the country.
The Tribune saws the victory in Vermont
surpasses it's highest hopes. The Democrats
made desperate struggles. It was the Issue
of Sumter over again, and the result is de-
cisive victory.

The correspondence that recently took

Thornton, British Envoy At Washington on
the subject of the Fenian prisoners Warren
aud CASTILLO who are naturalized Citizens Of

Seward writes to Lord Stanley to the ef-
feet that the House Of Representatives had
passed resolotion requesting the Presi-
dent 10 take the proper measures to secure
the release Of the prisoners that we're con>
yicted and sentenced in Great Britain for
words and acts spoken and done in this
country, and he therefore urges the condi.
lional release of these prisoners instantly.
In reply Mr. Thornton says he regards the
allegation that they were convicted and SEN
fenced for words spoken and acts committed
in the United States rests on total miscon-
ception of facts, and that the prisoners were
convicted Of treason and felony at Com
mission Court for the most promine overt
acts as proved against them, they being that
they had come over to ireland and cruised
along the coast, with the intention to effect q
landing Of men and arms in Ireland, in order
to raise an insurrection against The Queen.
The evidence aduced against these people in
course Of the trial, OF words spoken or acts
committed by them iD the United States,
was given in strict accordance with the rules
