Most extraordinary runots are afoet in this
city touching the unexpected return OF General
Grant from his Western tour, and it's relation
to the political canvass: From gu j can gather
among those best acquainted with the views OF
fbe members of the RepublE Ean National Com
mittee. it appears that private letters have been
received from members Of Grants party,
showing an anxiety on the part OF the
General to throw up the candidacy for
the Presidency. To this he has been
moved by overwhelming, evidences from
every quarter Of the utter Ysnt OF spirit in the
Republican canvass, and the tremendous pop
Illar Tide running in favor Of the Democratic
ticket. All the letters received here, both by
the Congressional and National Republican
Committees, are sorely diseeuraging the Radi-
cal leaders. nor are the letters from the South
lie "a alarming. The blacks cannot be CONTROL
ed, and all efforts on the part Of carpet-baggera
to prevent excesses have 30 FIR failed, and the
Radicals see thata continuance OF these riotous
and dincendiary acts ON the part Of the colored
population will add hundteds OF thousands to
sudden 'stoppage of Grants Western trip, hence
the rumors that he iss about to throw up the
candidacy, and the. .intimsHOns thrown out 10
nolitical circles that the Republican National
Convention will be called together again, and
rumors have it that the; nomination will be
rendered TO General Sherman. -
