Speaking Of the Democracy Of Pennsylvania
the New York Nation says: 'In Philadelphia
for example, they have q convict and blackies
among their nominees" atsg-
The Chase men among the Pennsylvania De-
mocracy were particularly active In persuading
Gen. Hancock to keep out Of politics, for fear,
1t is said, that he might prove troublesome
rival in the Presidential competition.
In one Of his eccentric speeches Senator
spaguc said that nothing in the world was
more mean and cowardly than million Of dol
lars, except two millions. Asa Packer. the
Democratic nominee for Pennsylvania, is worth
twenty millions g...s. --
A fierce contest is waging in Missouri, as in
Tennessee, upon the enfranchisement Of the
rebels.
A Washington special says on nuthority-it
is not known how rcliable-in Richmond, that
Gen. Candy has written to the members elect
Of the new Legislature. individually, to find out
how many are competent to take the test oath.
In case there is quorum able to qualify, he will
call the Legislature together, excluding those
unable to take the oath, and have United States
Senator's elected and the fifteenth amendment
ratified. The incompetent members may then
come in under the State constitution. II there
is not quorum, he will order new elections to
be held in districts represented by those who
cannot take the oath. By this process two rad
ical United States Senator's will be elected, prob
ably Governor Wells and L. ii. Chandler.
A Tennessee correspondent Of the New York
Times says that Senter's system Of registration
by giving up the control Of the ballot-box to
desperate men Of the cx-rebel stamp, cannot fail
TO secure the election Of Andrew johnson to the
Senate of the United States. II Is part OF the
programme which Is certain to be carried out Y
Scnter is elected. lie may not favor 1t, for 1t Il
understood he has such aspirations himself, bu
IL cannot be ayerted.
II Is said that the testimony taken by tn
Louisiana investigating committee, when mad'
public, will show very startling condition o.
affairs in that State how elections were carrc'
by fraud, intimidations used to prevent voter
from exercising their rights as citizens, and
disorganizcd condition Of society, generally.
A report of Governor Walkers interview
with the President says that the former, allud
ing to the nomination Of General Rosecrans II
Ohio by the Democratic party, said that he wa
not conscious Of having sweryed one iota frou
the views entertained during the war, when h
was known in Chicago as War Democrat. III
then stood on the same platform with Genera
Rosecrans, who. he regretted to know, had nov
become the Guberpatorial candidate OF the Val
landigham party in Ohio.
Il seems that Asa Packer has been nominate
by the Democrats Of Pennsylvania, and no
Gen. Hancock. Mr.. Packer is an orphan an
said to be worth twenty millions Of dollars.
