Notwithstanding Democrats are hope
full Of defeating him.
Fred Douglass (colored) is spoken Of
among Republicans as a candidate lOE
Congress from tine New York Twenty

casiOned by the resignation Of Judge
Davis.
John Fisher, the present incumbent,
and Seth Y EBan, who tried to be
such two year asg, are the Republi-
can candi- g the Congressional

The Utica New York; Observer
/ gives the following as the slate for the
Republican ring in that county: For

Charles A. Eldrldge, about as smart
a Democrat as there has been in Con-
gres5 for many years, has been renom-
mated bv the Democrats of the Wis
cOnsin Fourth district. His majority
in 1868 was more than four thousand.

fuI.
The St. Joseph Union, abiding to
the st. Louis Democrats biographical
sketch Of Hon. b. GratZ Brown, eX-
presses surprise that the Democrat

of the State Convention"
The Columbia P501ir says: "The
people that formerly stood by Judge
Orr stand by him no longer. His pU-
litical influence in the u]p-cOuntry is
gone" Governor Orr appears to have
made an awful mistake in this bust
ness, so far as his personal popularity
and friendships are concerned, but
how far twill affect his political inter
csts remains to be seen.
The Chicago Journal states that the
friends Of Governor Palmer in that
city say that his EXCellenCy viii not
be a candidate for United States Sena-
tor in the Legislature next winter.
The contest will be between eX-GOver-
nor Richard Oglesby and General
John A. Logan. Senator Yates, we
believe, will make no effort for a re-
election.
The Knoxville Chronicle states that
J.. NJ. CIementsOu is stumping in
Monroe county, Tenn, with a view
to securing the Democratic nOmina-
ton for Congress. On the other hand,

didate for reelection to the State
Senate. Glenn. is evidently in for
something.
The Republican party in the First
Congressional District in Tennessee IS
in the ranks and bitter rivalries
among the leaders are leading to its

they differ among themselves, they
are all working to the same end, viz:
his political martyrdOm.
Itseems that Governor Orr, of South
Carolina, is likely to be Te]pudiated
by his old friends. The Anderson

GrgeuVille Enterprise, the Abbeyille
Press and Banner, the Laureuville
HerUI4, to say nothing of other jour
nails more removed from the seat of
Judge Orr's supposed strength, all re-
pudiate his recent letter and its eX-
ua~Ordinary sentiments.
