demonstrating New York.


The Radicals have decided upon ter.
rible riot in the city Of New York on
election day, if it is possible for them to
provoke il, says the Republicans special
from that city. A careful review indi.
Gates that the Democracy will carry the
State by about Fifty thousand majority.
But the Radicals ore determined il they
can to carry the State, not only because 1t
is the bost one with which to begin the
work Of subjugatiug the Northern States
to the rule Of the bayonet, but because
it is vital to the re election of Grant that
when the next Presidential election comes
the State shall be in Radical hands. To
carry the State there is but one way
open: they have resolved to throw ou,
New York city. An insult by Federal
supervisor, q knock down., volley in the
crowd, the polls seized by the military,
the city vote not counted, and Wood!ord
is elected. Gov. Hoffman. ex.Gov. Sey.
mour, all the leading men Of the party
are in the city and will remain till after
the election. They are taking every pre-
caution that human ingenuity can devise
10 prevent an outbreak, which would be
fatal to the party.
The Republicans special Of the Goth
ult. says: As the day Of election draws
near, the Radical conspiracy to carry this
State by the bsyonet becomes more and
more evident To day It, Col. Forney,
the hero of the Philadelphia election, ar.
rived with his marines, and is now quar-
tered in Flushing avenue barracks,
Brooklyn. Tonight i, is rumored that
two regiments Of negro troops will arrive
to morrow morning.
Marshal Sharpe began the task Of
swearing in ten thousand deputies. lie
said he would take every man known to
be good Radical. If he could get thirty
thousand, he would take every one. 1t
is not believed that he will be able to find
five thousand. Every honest Republican
is disguised, alarmed at Federal interfer.
encs in a State aud municipal election ;
and it is confidently predicte that Of the
forty two thousand Republicans in this
city one third will vote the Democrat
ticket, and QUO third will abstain from
voting at all.
There will be no riot on election day
unless it is part of tho Radical pro
gramme to force one; but the ballots
once in the boxes and counted, heaven
pity the marine or soldier who dares to
show his face in our streets.
"he true reason why the Governor and
Mayor will allow the Federal soldiers to
interfere in the election is that the militia
are not to be relied upon, the command
ing officers icing principally Radical
politicians appointed by Fenton. How
ever, the target companies IN New York
have wonderfully increased within the
last two months, and over sixty have been
organized within ten days. They are
not tho old fashioned companies that Dor.
row the cap muskets and target. Each
companyis armed with the best Springfield
muskets manufactured, and each musket
is the property of tho man carrying it.
Some Of the papers have quite innocently
remarked Of lato the large humber of
companies, thirty and forty in single
day, that pass through the streets. There
are probably two hundred and forty com
panies, averaging fifty men each, armed
and equipped and familiar with the use
of the musket. Should there be riot
on election day these twelve thousand
outre.gueri!as may be heard from.
A negro target company arrived from
Philadelphia tonight and had a jollifca
tion at the Cooper Institute. In speech
the captain said that they we're going to
become part cf the national guard of
America, aud that if Mr.. Greeley wante q
them at election day all be had to do was
to notify them Of the fact.
