GENERAL GRANT on NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
In his speech in New York city the other
night, Judge Pierrepont (Radical, though he
was Democrat at the time he held the con-
versation with Grant, said:
One day at bis house in Washington, while
he was Secretary OF War, told him that L
| thought he would make good Democratic
candidate if he was right on the question OF
negro suffrage. He replied that he had no
wish for the Presidency: that ho had now
much higher Office than lie had ever expected;
that General Sherman would make go)d
President, and that he would gladly give the
| half that he wae worth to make Sherman or
anr other fit man President; that his feel
ngs and sentiments were entirely opposed to
negro suffrage; but that he did net wish to be
restrained by any pledges from the right to
change his opinion in future il new exi-
gences convinced him that lie WAS wrong; for,
said he, YOU Will remember that early in the
war. when was in command OF the West, l
publicly stated that if the negroes had an IN.
| surrection would hold my army in check until
1t was put down. But long before tho war was
over l should have BEEN glad Of negro lnsur,
reclion, and would have moved my army all
the faster. What I want is the Union-the
whole country returned to peace and submis-
siye to the laws. l do not like universal negro
suffrage now, but the freedmen ought to be
protected, and if the only way to protect them
| in their helpless condition is to give them the
suffrage, then shall be in favor Of letting
them vote. I want the Union restored, and to
have the South come back, obey the laws, and
submit as good citizens; and If the future
proves that they will not do it without negro
suffrage, then would give them negro suf-
frage." [Applause.l

The Chicago papers publish the following
telegraphic correspondence
FA1RBURY, ILL.,, October IA.
TO Governor Oylesby, Decatur:
At Potosi polo hns been raised with two
butternuts on the top. An armed force Of De-
mocrats and Republicans has collect 2d-one
party to take it down and the other opposing.
| The matter is serious. Both agree 10 await
your decision. Shall they come down or re-
| main?
PHILLIPS & MCDOWELL,
Republicans.
DECATUR, ILL, October Is.
Hay & Wilson, Philips s. NcDO'oelt, Fair
bury, H.:
NV opinion is that the Democrats acted
very silly in raising pole Of such character as
to make their party odious, and that tho Re
publicans arc acting very silly in getting mad
and resorting to extreme measures about 1t.
Let no gun be fired, no man be hurt. Tho he
publicans must desist and go homo quietly;
the Democrats must do tho same. The Demo-
Gratis ought to take down the pole, or assure the
Republicans that they do rot moan by this
symbol what it once meant. In tais way peace
Gun be restored, the Republicans be brought Ia
reason and the Democrats can save their nuts.

THE MILITARY AND TIE JUDICIARY IN TEXAS
ORDER OF GENERAL REYNOLDS IN A CIVIL
sUIr-ApPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT.
The Washington correspondent of tho Bal
timore Sun, writes under date OF October 27:
The President to-day received from R.ch-
mond, Texas the following dispatch:
To t5e President-The following order was
received here by telegraph: TO Judge McFar-
land, Richmond, Texas-For reasons made
known by the Governor and States Attorney,
you will continue until next term the cases ll-
volving the question OF hersbip to tho estate
OF J. e. Clark. deceased.
J. J. REYNOLDS,
Brevet Major-Gcneral.
sWe regard this order as q great military
usurpation. 1t is addressed to Judge OF
Civil Court, directing him how he shall decide
the question Of continuance. Both plrtic' are
present and represented By cnunsc. tic Case
ready for trial. Shall the commander of the
district control the jul;cary? We ask you to
revoke the order. Answer.
R.C. TRIGG,
JOHN L. HARCCURT,
| Plaintiffs Counsel"
Tas President, under the Reconstruction
laws, has no authority over the military COM
manders so far as thoir control over tho States
under military rule is concerned. Of course
he cannot revoke the order OF General Rey-
nolds, as requested by the attorneys signing
the foregoing dispatch. This order of Rey-
nolds is Of piece with his recent edict forbid
ding an election in Texas for President and
Vice President. He has evidently full ap-
probation of the unlimited power vested in
him as district commander by the Radical
| laws.
