DEMOCRATIC TICKET
FOR PRESIDENT,
HON. HORATIO SEYMOUR,
OF NEW YORK
FOR VICE PRESID EJVT
Gen. FRANCIS P, BLAIR,
OF NEW YORK.
OF MISSOURI.

The order of the President, as comman.
der in chief relative it the rights of States I'M
der the Constitution to vote for Presidential
electors without hindrance from the military
authorities, issued over the signature of the
Asst. Adjt. General, and by command Of
General Grant, and published in another
column, is an important document just al
this particular time. Many have feared thai
the military would interfere to prevent ar
election being held in Virginia, Mississippi
and Texas in November There can be no long.
er any such fear entertained, and as ne conten.
ded in the outset, it is the incumbent duty of
those authorized to see that elections are held
in these States Our DemocraticState Execu-
tive Committee should act at once, select and
publish list of electors and make the nee
essary preparations for holding an election
in this State. If the Republicans in the
State choose to vote well and good, we can
carry the State any way. If they stand aloof
so much the better.
AS to the Radical Congress contesting
the rights of these States to vote, we have
some doubt For the benefit of others we
give the views Of the New York Herald on
this subject. It says: 1.-THE Radical Con-
gress is estopped from contesting the right
by its own action. To form West Virginia,
the consent of Virginia was necessary; and
to obtain that consent, Congress recognized
Virginia as State under the Alexandria
Constitution. That Constitution has never
repealed, and if it was not valid. West Vir-
ginia has no legal existence. The recoy nj
ton was part of Radical trick, but the
Radical party must stand the consequences
of its own tricks, when they take the shape of
laws"
One thing is sure the votes will not be
counted if elections are not held. Let us
take the chances and if the Radical Congress
belle their own acts and refuse to count the
electoral votes of the States named let them
bear the onus. 80

A newly invented armor plating was re-
Gently the subject Of interesting experiments
in the presence Of the Emperor Napoleon
III. This substitute for steel plates is made
Of felt, vegetable fbres and woven fabric,
and is compressed by the action Of powerful
machinery until it becomes as solid as cast
metal. At the trial it was tested both as
coating for ships and as a breastplate The
Chassepot gun, it is stated, could not pene-

close to the surface produced no effect The
Emperor, it is reported, has given orders for
trial Of this substance on large scale, SO
as to ascertain its applicability to ships Of

WASHINGTON, October 9, 186S.-The re-
port telegraphed to the New York press to
the effect that Chief Justice Chase had ex-
pressed himself warmly in favor Of the cleo
ton Of Grant and Colfax is without any
foundation in truth The chief Justice has
given no authority for any such statement,
but, on the other hand, in conversation
with friend to-day, he made frequent al
lusions to the excuses of the Radical party
and his hostility thereto. At the same time
he spoke Of Governor Seymour as states
man of great purity of character, and one
who would, if elected President, administer
the Government upon strictly constitutional
principles. Such is the opinion of Judge
Chase as freely expressed to-day, while it is
well known among his friends he entertains
contempt for General Grant as a statesman
or a man Of brains-high respect for him as
a successful General. Correspondent Bait.
