OF these 10 States, 1 think there is not par
ticle of doubt, except Nebraska, Nevada and
Oregon, casting nine votes. There may be
some doubt about these three States, although
1 feel confident their votes will be given to
Grant. Ii these nine votes be deducted, the
remaining ten States will be sufficient to give
Grant go votes. These added to the l6l votes
from the States first named will make 221.
1t cannot be denied that some doubt hangs
over the great States of New York and Penn
sylvania, casting 56 votes; although feel con-
fdent the electors of both States will vote for
Grant. If however we deduct these 50 votes
from the 221 before named, there will still re-
main 1872 votes sure for Grant. OF those there
can be no doubt And these are sufficient to
elect him. 1t is my strong conviction that
Grant will get the whole in both classes of
States, namely 230.
OF the five States newly organized, LOUISE
ana, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia and Florida,
there could be no doubt Grant would get all
the electors, if the Republicans could vote
freely and independently. But they cannot.
The national government has failed to put in
piers to secure the work. In the newly organ
lieu OIdteS, tue IeepuDhCduS are Sonetdlly
poor. They are largely in the power of trail
tors. If they vote the Republican ticket they
are in danger of being thrown out of employ
ment; in danger of starvation; and in danger
of being shot by traitors. All these things are
freely threatened. Under the circumstances
it is probable that Georgia will go for Sey-
mour, while Louisiana, Arkansas and Ala
bama are doubtful. 1t is understood that the
electors for Florida will be chosen by the Legis-
lature, and that the majority of the Legisla-
ture is for Grant.
The remaining States are Kentucky and
Maryland, where great majority Of the vot-
ers are traitors at heart to day, and New Jer-
sey and Delaware, which we do not claim for
Grant, though they are extremely doubtful.
Surprise may be expressed, that we claim
New York and Pennsylvania for Grant We
wish to say that large number of men in
these States and throughout the North will
vote for Grant, who are not Republicans
They will not do it because theE are particu-
larly attached to Grant. In many instances
they are hot satisfied that we have sufficient
evidence of Grants fitness. But they will
vote for Grant and Colfax to keep out Sey-
mour and Blair. They are actually frighten-
ed at the dangers likely to ensue to the coun
try if rebel administration should succeed,
triumphing in the names of Seymour and
Blair and will act on their fears. tek

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,

One of the most villanous attempts to carry
a State by fraud, is being attempted in New
York aid Pennsylvania. The free system Of
naturalization which is practiced, is one ggan-
tic swindle. it only needs to state facts to
show this SO conclusively that no one will
have the hardihood to deny it. We are assur-
ed by the Press, printed in Philadelphia, that
the Judge of the Supreme Judicial Court sit
ting at Ms. Prius, has naturalized since the
middle of September, FIVE THOUSAND AND
FoRTY-sIx PERSONS, of whom Segea hundred
and toenty were naturatzed on Monday OF
last week-allowing twenty five. seconds to
make man voting citizen
1t appears as trough there were railroad
from the depot, 1.-THE rooms of the Democratic
naturalization sommittee.) which passes into
the Prothonotary's office, and thence, on an
ascending grade to the Supreme Court room,
carrying with tightening speed the Democrat
ic gentleman and his witness into the presence
of two tipstaves of the Court, who in twenty
five seconds make him an American citizen!
After the shameful disclosure of the fact
that blank naturalization papers with the seal
of the Court and the signature of the Prothon.
otory affixed were in circulation in the streets
of Philadelphia, the wicked fraud has become
still more apparent, Mr.. McMichael brought
that fact before the court, and compelled them
to look into the matter! Twelve of these vii
famous frauds upon the ballot box were found
upon one man. The Republicans OF Pennsyl-
vania are carrying on the contest with hero
ic zeal, but they have, apparently, the basest
opposition that earth or the lower regions can
bring to the surface Yet they will glorious
ly prevail, as truth is went TO do over error.

CoRoNER's INQUEsT.-The inquest on the
the body of the man who was found on Browns
wharf with his head severed from his body,
was held on Saturday, and from the testimony
it appeared that the mans name was James
Clancy, native of Chelsea, Mass, and more
lattery a resident of Lewiston, where his
mother resides. Thursday afternoon he had
been seen in state of intoxication, and it is
highly probable he went down to the wharf at
night and either fell or laid down on the rail
road track. The train that run over him was
moving very slowly, not over three niles an
hour. His wife arrived in the city Saturday
morning on her way to Lewiston. She did not
know where her husband was, he having
while in a state of intoxication, left her at
Lawrence some days ago. Hearing of the
death of an unknown man she went to the
depot. and at once recognized the remains.
Her little boy who was with her also knew the
body, and exclaimed on seeing it shat is
father. Deceased leaves wife and two child
rem.
The verdict of the Jury was in accordance
with the above facts and exonerating the rail
road employees.

HORACE GREELEY FOR CONGRESS. = John
Morrisseys George Francis Train and Horace
Greeley are the three candidates for Congress
in the fifth New York district The latter
stands about as much chance of being elected
as he does of being struck by lightning or en-
quilted by an earthquake. The hard hitting
Morrissey or the versatile Train has a thou
sand chances Of success to one for the eminent
philosopher and philanthropist of the Tribune.
Greeley's honors have almost always been Of
merely nominal worth. He has served a brief
term IN Congress and has been member of a
constitutional convention and of the Republi-
can National Committee, but has had but very
little of the real bread and fishes of political
life He has done better--he has deserved
them. No man now living has been of more
service in raising the American people to their
present exalted position as the advocates of the
rights of all men. He is sometimes the victim
OF strange caprices, but the general direction
of his political course has been as true 10 truth
and right as the needle to the pole. He has
done things about the expediency of which
here may well be doubt, like negotiating with
Rebels on the Canadian frontier and bailiug
jeff Davis, but the American people have long
since forgiven these things to a man who has
educated his ceuntrymen to be patriots and
Christians. Yet the prize-fghter or the
mountebank will be elected to Congress- This

A friend who has travelled in Germany, re-
ports the following incident, for which he
vouches: During the summer, DIR. j. G. Aver
spent some weeks at Dresden, in conference
with the chemists of Central Europe, where he
was heralded as the inventor of.the world re-
nowned medicines that bear his name, and
considered one of the American celebrities
While riding, one day, his open carriage fell in
with the cortege of the King of Saxony, on a
drive from a review The Doctor soon became
the chief attraction and received the marked
attention of the people, who were even more
demonstrative in their courtesies to him than
to the King himself whom they see so con-
stantly. King John, observing this, wrapped
his military cloak around him and recliDed
upon his seat, while our great American med
icine man did the honors for the royal retinue,
graciously, bowling hat in hand on every side,
until wearied by his excessive condescension
by this old monarch's people. div

"a WORTHY GENTLEMAN CANED."-It is
very gratifying to realize the good will and
feeling exhibited between employer and EN-
ployees. Such an incident took place at the
residence of Mr.. John Meyer, No. Salem St,
in commemoration of his fiftieth anniversary
Early on the evening of October 9th his resi-
dence was besieged by goody number of
masked ladies and gentlemen while he was
absent at the Fair. About 10 o'clock he was
still further surprised by the appearance of the
whole humber of German employees of the
Forest City Sugar Refinery, of which Mr.. John
Meyer is the worthy superintendent and mana
ger. This party had selected Mr.. John G.
Meyer to represent them, and to explain the
real object of their visit; which the said gent
lemen did in a very satisfactory and pleasing
manner, in the Ellowng words: THAT it was
with much pleasure that they had met, and he
had the honor of representing these gentlemen
present to bestow upon him slight token of
good will and esteem which the employees I'M
der bis supervision felt towards him."
He further said Mr. Meyer-We have come
together to present you with this gift, as
token of good will and esteem of the German
capable superintendent and manager" The
gift consisted Of beautiful chased gold headed
cane, which bears the following inscription
Presented to John Meyer by the German en-
ployees of the Forest City Sugar Refinery,
Oct 9th, 1868.
After the reception of this handsome gift,
the recipient arose and made a neat and hap
Ply speech, saying: My friends-This is not
the first occasion on which have received such
beautiful tokens from you. For years past you
have bestowed upon me many such proofs of
your good will towards me, and L must hearth
~ thank you. for the kindness thus shown. So
loug as you doyour duty faithfully to me I shall
endeavor to do the same by YOU After the
conclusion of these interesting ceremonies they
all endeavored to enjoy themselves, which they
did hugely, and did not break up until near
the ''break of day"

CUTLER's METALLIC WEATHER House.
Among the many ingenious patent pending
articles on exhibition at the Fair, we forgot to
mention the above mechanical device. 1t
works in the following manner. The chimney
OF the house is movable piece OF cork, TO
which is attached a piece of catgut vegeta-
BILE root. AT the other end of the catgut is
suspended two figures Of woman and man
The action Of the atmosphere on these two
figures has the tendency in damp weather to
expand the catgut, or vegetable root, and cause
the man TO appear, and in dry weather to con-
tract it and cause the woman to appear. Geo.
Carver, IA Winslow's Court Boston, is the
agent.
