The New York SIN truly says: Though
the more INSCRIPTIONS partisan organs of
the Democracy affect 10 deny the truth il is
plain that since the Chicago Convention
they are ready for measures which month
ago they would have secuted. Most promi
Dent among these is the probable nomination
of Judge Chase as their candidate for the
Presidency. 1t is true that the Judge has
conducted the impeachment trial in a man
ner to give them satisfaction il is true thnt
he has announced his Reputation of Repub-
lcansm and his Willingness to receive the
nomination Of the Democracy; but even
these important events could not lead TO hi,
nomination were not the need great and
pressing. Perhaps he may not be nominat-
ed after ALL The tide which is now setting
toward him with such power may have a
still stronger ehb, and by the 4th Of july he
may be left high and dry and along on the
shore while Pcndleton, with banners pleam-
ing and his pockets crammed with green
backs, may be sailing away to the combat,
and possibly to victory; but however this
may turn out, the present willingness of the
democracy TO take the Chief Justice is a
plain confession that Grant and Colfax are
hard to beat.

DORCHESTER COUNTY.
The Cambridge News complains OF the
lateness Of the corn planting; INC wheat
crop is heading out finely, and judging from
the size of heads and length of straw we
certainly as yet have nothing to fear from a
failure of this crop. The rains have also
made the oats grow very luxuriantly, anu
although only small amount was sown, O
fair crop is anticipated. Peaches are not
promising, the trees are not as full OF fruit
as they were last season and haven't as many
growing peaches upon them as can mature

THE OUTLOOK TO-DA L. CERTAINTY
or GRANTS ELECTI0N.

There are some who pretend to believe
that the nominee of the New York Conven-
ton can be elected over General Grant.
There are probably good many who fancy
the contest likely to be close and large
number more who suppose there is just
enough shadow Of chance for the Democrats
to encourage them to exertion, and thus
make the race slightly interesting.
The last is true. There is no serious pos
sibility of Democratic success. 1t is not
possible, at this time to array in column the
States which they are able to carry, and
count up with their votes a majority of the
Electoral College. There is large majority
already certain for Grant, and nothing which
in any ordinary course of events can occur,
will change them. We count the following
States sure for Grant and Colfax, no matter
whether Pendleton and Reputation; Han

amendments to Wickliffe's substitute had beeu

In reply to communication from Govsrnor
Flanders charging the police jury of the Parish

commencing their removal, General Hancock
says these charges present a proper case for
Judicial Investigation and determination, and
it is evident to him that the courts of justice
can afford adequate relief for the wrongs COM
planned OF, if proven. He has therefore con-
cluded it is not advisable to resort TO the mea-

votes, thus giving the Democratic nomin ee
eighty-six votes, leaving Grant with one nun
dred and seven votes. Throw New York In
either scale, and still there is no election by
and Wisconsin with the above States, and there
is still no election.
These are the figures Of the Radicals, and
this is the way they argue to prove that they
will secure President after their own heart
in 1868. Despairing Of success before the peo-
pile, they hope to accomplish their ends
through the agency OF the Fortieth Congress.
Conservative Republicans are beginning To
realize the real plans Of The Radicals, and they
will, therefore, hesitate somewhat before
they admit the Southern States in such a
form as will give the Radical element the pre-
ponderating influence, and hand the country
over to the domination Of such men as Messrs.
Ashley, Boutwell,, Stevens, Butler q Co..
1HE DEMOCRATIC DINNER.
The Democrats OF the District are making
great preparations for their eighth of January
dinner. They are to have about one hundred
and fifty invited guests. The President has
promised to attend: All the members OF the
cabinet have been invited, including General
Grant. Ex-Presidents Pierce, Fillmore and
Buchanan, Generals Sherman, Hancock,
Blair, Harney and Steedman, and the leading
Democratic politicians from all parts OF the
country are invited.
AFFAIRS IN NEW ORLEANS.
General Steadman telegraphed the President
TODAY from New Orleans stirling that il an or
der was not issued before January l, reinsta-
ting Governor Wells in Louisiana, the law OF
the legislature authorizing loan Of three
millions for the repair of the leyees would
cease to be operative with the present year.
AS is well known the law in question requires
that the bonds should receive the signature OF
Governor Wells to make them valid, notwith-
standing the military edict Of Sheridan to the
contrary. The telegram from General Stead
man was referred to General Grant.
THE RECONSTRUCTION ACTS
II is true that some active measures are
being taken to bring the constitutionality OF
the Reconstruction acts before the Supreme
Court Of the UNITED States. The parties
moving in the matter claim to have the SYM
pathy Of the President, and have engaged
eminent counsel, but as yet no test case is on
the docket.
COLONEL SHERMAN.
The announcement that General Sherman
YVES to assume command Of the Department of
the East has led many to suppose that Lieu
tenant-G eneral Sherman was to be assigned to
this command, The officer referred to, how
ever, is T. w. Sherman, Colonel OF the Third
United States Artillery and Brevet Major
