WASHINGTON, October 70, 1909.

,'.her of these voters dld not take

o9 9oro of a months sojourn in the places
pr Lain as their homes, although they
no been living in Washington for elght
naars II is int;mated that some OF these
Iort;es voted here at the municipal elections,
In which case they cannot legally vote lor
President in the States. a LIST OF tnese
narties vas recently made out, ana mas
been put in the hands of the State commit
tees. por1
vania. Ohio, and Indiana has not had the
effect the Radicals hoped it would, ana
there are many indications Of the activity
If the Conservatives. Hope is by no means
dead within them. Many are confident,
ond the Radicals not altogether sangulne
NJ either Pennsylvania or Indiana. Helm
holds immense wager staggers them con-
siderably. Some, however, continue to De
very enthusiastic on the subject of Radical
maiori.ies, and predict forty thousand III
Pennsylvania, twenty-five thousand IN ne"
York. sixty thousand in Ohio, and ten thou
sand in Indiana. 1t remains to be seen
whether or not these predictions are the re-
suits of sound judgment.
The public debt statement will De our
~73hsspt the usual time-that is, on the NTH
u uassrt that at pthfvs~I The department officials
whatsoever as to the exhibit "a1- lhdlcatloh
made, though it is generally believed II
financial circles that there will be fiatter
ing decrease as compared with the las
three or four statements. The disburse
ments this month have not been heavy, ano
the customs receipts have been between
twelve and fifteen millions in gold. The
receipts from internal revenue sources have
been very light, but the deposits to the
credit of the Government for the last two
or three DAYS in the month are generally
large and taking all things into considera'
ton there is reason to believe that the be-
lief of decrease in the debt by the next
statement is well founded. The immense
sum in gold which will be required to pay
the interest on the ive-twenty bonds next
week will, however, cancel the decrease to
be shown. -2s~
Immediately after the recent elections
the Republican Committee sent requests to
each of the clerks in the different depart
ments here, requesting subscriptions in
further aid of the cause. Many Of the
clerks responded favorably, but quite a
number of others, having families depend
emit on them for support, could not, owing to
their small salaries and the high price Of
living in Washington, make donation !;
while some, knowing from the envelopes
they received the contents Of the enclosures,
refrained from opening them. 1t may be
deemed very probable that those who did
not attend to the demands upon them have
been marked out for removal; but they
think it doubly hard, particularly as their
piteous appeals for "twenty per cent"
additional compensation were treated so
unceremoniousiy BY Congress last winter.
The I" female rights women, assisted by
some the Of sterner advocates OF the measure,
meet here in convention in December next.
They have innumerable wrongs to present
to the American people g through their
representatives in Congress assembled"
hoping for redress ; and the circular call
ing upon the women of America to join i'll
the cause teens with high-fown declara-
tons of the wrongs and outrages to which
these aspirants for the elective franchise,
&c., have been so long subjected by tyran-
meal man.
1t is generally believed that the Presi-
dent will relieve General Reynolds Of
his command in Texas, although no order
has yet been prepared to that effect. 10
be of any value, or rather to render null
the recent orders Of General Reynolds con-
corning registration in Texas, the military
order relieving him would have to be issued
Immediately. 1t is not believed there will
be any general order issued by the military
authorities here with regard to the general
election in the southern States next Tues
day. Some parties have tried to make it
appear to Secretary Schofeld that there will
be great trouble in many Of the States
under military law; but the commanding
officers will use their discretion with regard
to violations of order without special in
structions in the matter. ,
Every two or three days there is splurge
AT the Treasury Department on the super
visor question; but the appointments are
fastened very slowly. 1t snot improbable
that Congress will repeal that portion Of
the law relating to these appointments this
winter-possibly in November, when it IL
believed the session will be commenced, Il
continue until the fourth Of March next.
The officers at army headquarters have
ceased sending General Grants mail tt
him, which leads to the impression that hi
viii. soon return to Washington, and
would not be unexpected should he return
in the latter part Of next'wee TIMoN. !,
