The Democratic TIeket-Mere Of the
Worlds Opinions.
New YORK, Oct. 19.-The World says q
party cannot subsist upon vspor1ng and
make believe. Unless we can change the
aspect of the canvass, We shall have a
repetition in November OF the result like
that which has overtaken US in the pre-
liminary contest. IL any body tells the
people that things look well as they stand,
that nothing which could now be done
would better them, he is in the first case dis
honest. and in the second mistaken. Gov.
Seymour, can now aid Us much, but Gen.
Blair can aid us far more, aud in different
way, by atchiValric action, superior TO all
eloquence
Il is stated that leading Southern Demo-
Gratis have issued an address Teque5ting
Seymour and Blair to resign in favor OF
Chase and Franklin. .E
George Francis Train has been notified
by cable of his nomination to Congress
in the Fifth District of this city.
The committee urged him to pay the
claims against him and return at once.
The committee yesterday received dis
patch accepting the nomination, and stating
he had offered the money to pay all claims,
as his Imprisonment is for purely political
reasons.
New York, Oct, 19.-The number OF
persons naturalized in this city thus far is
$4,000, and in Brooklyn nearly 5000.
The Democrats have nominated John
G, Schumacher and Gen. Slocum, in Brook
lyn districts, for Congress.
The Republican nominees are Henry ,.
Bellows and Samuel Booth.
The Times, to-day, estimates the Demo
cratic majority in this city and Brooklyn,
in November, at $4,000, and claims the
State for Grant by 5000.

what John quincy Adams Says Of the
south and the Political Situation
GENERALLY
PETERSBURG, Va, Oct. LIN a con
veTsaiion with John Quincy Adams, who
WAS on his way home, he said the Southern
people were as loyal a. any people in the
North. The two races he found friendly
disposed towards each other, and the ne
proes were psaCeable in all cases except
where thev we're melted or influenced by
Garnet. haggers. Nothing was calculated TO
do greater harm than the Acknowledgement
Of the whites, which was more extensive,
Than he had any idea Of, and If the people
of the North could see the condition OF the
South AZ he has, reconstruction would soon
20 to the wall. The negro now ruled the
South despotically, but that could not last,
for when people were properly appealedto
on that question, the North would nf1er
. submit that ten Of our best States should be
goyerntd bv an ignorant and semi-barba-
Ious race. On the subject of the Presidency,
he said it was now too late TO change the
candidate The election OF Gen. Grant
gas inevitable and such a movement would
damage the interests of Democracy.
lie never believed that Mr.. Chase could
have carried the day against Grant, and
certainly not now; nor was he thought an
available man in the field even If time
were afforded. lie condemned the plat
form Of the Democracy more than the can
didate-, and thought the only Issue uPor
which they should have gone before the
rcople was reconstruction. He considered
II very uriavorable that such men as Wad'
HAMPTON, Forrest, and men like them
ever participated in the campaign. From
lie administration he had the best hope
that peace would be restored, and the ques
lion Of negro domination and consequen
min Of the South be speedily disposed Of
Ere long we would be living under the Cor
s,itution as il was. As regards his owl
chances for the GovernorshiP Of Massa
chuselts, he said his nomination was NOR
Of a compliment to him than anythiu
else. lie had no idea Of being elected.

The junction of Mosby avenue and the
Old Raleigh road was the scene OF a tragic
affair about seven o'clock last night, in
which the notorious Bill Porter was shot
and instantly killed. He left the city be-
fore dark, considerably intoxicated, and on
his Way home stopped in house at the
noint already mentioned. Soon afterward
he went out into the road. Amos Curtin
was standing outside with double-barreled
shotgun. Upon seeing Porter, he suddenly
and without a word, aimed the gun at him.
A loud explosion followed, and Porter fell
To the ground dead, fourteen buckshOt hav-
ing lodged in his breast. Two or three
persons we're present and witnessed the
tragedy. Curlin fed after firing, and up to
one O'Clock this morning had not been APP
pretended.
Porter was a turbulent, desperate char
acter. in often difficulties, and frequently
under arrest, charged with cattle stealing.
One night few months ago he was badly
shot by party of gentlemen OF the netsh-
| borhood, who came to his house aiIer cat'le'
which he was charged with having stolen.
His arm was amputated in consequence:
Some of the CurIins have also been in jail
on similar charges, and though at one time
| they and Porter were quite intimate, bitter
enmity has existed between them Tor
! months. We could not learn whether
| CurIin's terrible vengeance was the result
| of apy threats of violence made recently
| by Porter but either such was the case OF
| the vendetta had reached a point when
! bIoodshed could be no longer aVerted
We learn that when Porter left the city ne
was armed, as usual, but understand nc
weapons were found on his person wher
| shot. 1t is not probable that he antIcl
pated the bloody meeting which, without
| a moments warning, sent him to answer
his reputed crimes before court WHERE
iustice cannot be swerved.

The Radicals in St Louis attempted to

revoked, and openly and squarely de-
clared against negro equality, the main
plank in the Radical platform. They re-

the negroes. Attempts ut paciicatiOn

not see that it was all right, and she

Excitement W New York.
WASHINGTON, Oct 1S.-There is the
best authority for saying that President
johnson has neither approved the prOpO-
sjtion to withdraw Seymour's name, nor
intimated his wish to be nominated, or
willingness to accept such nomination,
but on the contrary, he has looked upon
the proposition for a change of candi-
dates as injurious and ill-timed.
Urea, Oct. lS.-A conference took
PLACE Yesterday between Gov. Seymour
and certain members Of the National
Democratic Executive Committee in re-
lation to some important measure to be
adopted in the present canvass. During
the conference Gov Seymour alluded to
the suggestions in some quarters as to q
change in the Presidential ticket He
said any change which should be made
should include his withdrawal; that he
WAS nominated against his wishes, and 1t
would be a relief TO him If any other
man were substituted for him The
committee replied that no change had
been contemplated by any Of them, and
that in their judgment nothing could be
so injurious to the Democratic cause as a
change Of candidates, and they refused
to entertain any such question.
New YORK, Oct lS-The excitement
among the Democrats continues, though
it is less lively than yesterday. Seymour
and Blair tclegraphed to the Executive
Committee that they viii act for the best
interests Of the party; but, from present
indication :, they will have no occasion to
resign. Democrats are betting five e
