POLITICAL ITEMS.

UB Since hearing from the Pine Tree
State, the Copperheads have been pining

Influential and intelligent Germans in
New York city, says that a majority of
the Germans of that city will vote for

aT Our Democratic friends have taken
sudden interest in the development of
the water power of New England. They
want the whole State of Vermont damned.

gY A vote was taken of the operatives
of the Ohio and Mississippi railroad tele-
graph line, between Cincinnati and St.
Louis, recently. The vote stood 81 for
Grant to IA for Seymour. iu8s
gB The editor of the True Rentuchadas
calls Grant numbskull. The Hon. Geo.
H. Pendleton says Grant is the greatest
commander of this or any other age.
Well, the wisest of men will differ.
gB- The Germans everywhere are al
most unanimous in opposing Seymour and
Blair. In Missouri they are against the
Democratic ticket, almost to a man, In
Ohio, in the interior, of New York, and
in New England, the German vote will
be more decidedly Republican than ever,
and similar reports come to us from nearly
every Northern State. sgI n ri
GB- One of the negro speakers in the
Georgia Legislature, being sneered at for
his rude speech, replied: " You laugh
at my ignorance; would you have been any
more learned than / Iam if, for fifty seven
years, you were not permitted to own a
spelling book without running the risk of
the lash?" This was a home thrust, but
it was not appreciated by the chiyalry.
uW A gentleman in Pittsburgh, Penn,
who has a few idle thousands ON hand,
authorizes the editor of the Commercial to
offer the following bets $3.50 that Penn
sylvania will go for Grant $3.50 that
Ohio will go for Grant $3.50 that Indiana
will go for Grant and $500 against $3.50
that Grant will be elected. He will double
or even quadruple these figures, if re-
quested. Address or call at the CONNER

GH If our Copperhead friends are not
satisfied with Radical reports and specu-
lations concerning Maine, they may read
what one of their number-the Richmond
Dispatct--says on the subject. That is:
"If Maine shall show gain, large or
small, for the Radicals, Seymour may con-
slider his chance for being a successor OF
George Washington as small indeed"
Small it is let it be recorded. zaaas5
gY Hon. George S. Houston, ,oof Ala
bama, long member of Congress, and re-
garded as man of moderate character
and disposition, in a recent speech at
Florence, directed particularly to theicol-
ored men in his audience, "told them, y
says the Florence I,eGeD, " in the most
pointed words, that the man who votes for
Grant and Cclfax is an enemy of his and
of the white people of the South, and that
he inteldrd to treat all qc7to 50 c0te as enc

shall have if Seymour and Blair arc

Eser of the 18th, says: 1--WE have the
most cheering intelligence from the south
ern tier and the central part Of the State

mingling with the people write that Re
pubiicans never were more active, and

/ Erie railroad, and through the central and
western part of the State, will be larger
/ than in 1864, when we carried the State BY
thirteen thousand majority Republican,
