especial attention at Washington.

Dickens was presented to the President to the

The Mobile Tribune mentions the fact
that many Of the Mobile negroes refuse
to vote in the election now going on in
Alabama. They are not able to see how
electing the white Radical ofice-seekers
is to do them any good.
The Tribune also states that major
ity of those who have voted in the city
have come in from other counties and
been permitted to vote over again. The
longer the election is extended the bet
ter the chance to duplicate the votes
and enable each one to vote twice
or thrice day in the same and
different counties, no step being taken
to stamp the registration certificates,
so as to show whether and how many
times they have been used, and every
one coming to box with his certificate
of registration being permitted to vote.
The committees of the Democratic clubs
are doing all they can to prevent these
frauds. And, Notwithstanding al, and
the extension of the time for voting, it
will still be with the utmost difficulty if
the constitution is ratified.

The House then went into a Commit

sideration Of the legislative and judicial
appropriation bill.
A long and animated discussion arose
on the question of adding an appropria-
ton for the Congressional employees, for
the twenty per cent additional allowed
last year, and which is omitted in the
bill as reported. Finally, by adding the
twenty per cent. clause to the employees
of the Senate, it was passed. by vote of

In New Hampshire the political con-

ANYTHING else is spoken Of Public
meetings are held in all the towns and
sections, campaign documents fill the
mail bags, and Republican, Democratic
and Grant clubs, with constitutional,
equal taxation, peoples liberty and other
clubs are formed or in the process Of
formation everywhere. An immense
Democratic central organization is at
work without stint; and a correspondent,
protesting to be rather neutral as poll
tician, writing from Concord, says
To-day there are no less than hun
bred leading Democrats in the city from
all quarters Of the State, their mission
being to report progress and consult
upon the details necessary to push the
campaign through to a successful ter
mination. They are all very sanguine
of carrying the State, and claim that
every day they are gaining accessions to
their ranks from disaffected Republicans
From close observations in this and
other sections of the State must confess
that am not prepared to dissent ma
terialIy from the confidence manifested
by the moderately sanguibe Democrats.
The work which is being accomplished
by the Democrats through the ?. l.. LIS
will prove 10 be most effective, and the
other organizations will undoubtedly do
something towards swelling the Dem
ocratic vote. The reports received
by the Democratic State Committee
to-day show that there have been organ
lied ninety one p. l.. L. councils Though
out The State; and twenty-four Of this
number we're instituted during the pres

have it is claimed, been brought over

There the object aimed at was liquor
license law; here the only end sought il
a triumph Of democracy. With the &C
cessions gained to their party from this

claim that they can elect Sinclair fol
Governor by a msjority nearly equal t.
that by which they we're defeated las
wear While the Republicans do no
confess that defeat is in store for them
they manifest considerable uneasiness a

whelming radical majority in that body
Scarcely any subject is discussed into
which, as 10 the case of debates in com
mittee of the whole on the state OF the
Union, this important subject does not
enter. sItis evidently felt to be the one
great absorbing issue Of the next Pres'-
dental campaign, which. with the BOND
question. will absorb all others. And
Notwithstanding the conservative minor
ity is so small, the terrible blows oil the
Johnsons and the Doolittles have gained
the vantage ground. and the democrats
already haye the radicals on the hip A
vote not excused by sound reasons is mere
brute force. And the Radicals are thus
in a strait in the passage of bill, which
they cannot plausibly present in argu-
ment to the country. Even their extreme
favorite Chase himself is now reported
down on the abomination. And the
members delay trembling, counting the
chances and considering the possible
consequences OF perpetrating on the
country the browning iniquity. The fol-
lowing paragraph from the New York
Herald is significant;
The most remarkable thing in the de-
bate is that the dominant party is all the
time on the defensive. The Conserva-
tive opposition have but a corporaIs
guard in either house. The Radicals
have a compact, powerful army. We
say the Radicals, and include all the
Republicans, because even those mem
beers of the party who are more moderate
and disposed to be more Conservative
90 solidly and blindly with the Radical
leaders in the most revolutionary mea-
sures for the sake of keeping their party
united. In both the Senate and House
of Representatives their numbers are
overwhelming. They can, as we have
seen, easily carry any measure by a two
thirds vote over thePresidents veto Yet
this powerful party in Congress are fight
ing on the defensive all through, not
withstanding the insignificant number Of
its opponents. The speeches of Morton,
Howe, Trumbull and the rest of the
ablest Radical Senators, as well as OF
the declaiming politicians Of the Viii.
son stamp, are of the same defensive
character. tits so, too, with the speeches
of the Radical leaders in the House OF
Representatives They have no ground
to stand upon; they have nothing on
which to make square, direct and up
right fight. they have no principles, and
nothing but the negro theories, which |
are condemned by the people every
where, for an issue. A party, like an
army, that has no principle, cause, or |
ground to stand upon must become de-
moralzed and defeated.
