WASHINGTON Oct. 25.-The President
takes the deepest interest in the proceed
ings In your city about the enforcement
of the election laws. He has made it 3
matter of personal concern to elect
WOOdfOrd, whose nomination was made
at his special instance, and no efforts
will be spared to secure this result,
AttOrney-General Alderman was clos
eted with the President several hours
last evening. He left Immediately for
New York, and carries instructions to
resort to every legal eXpedient to reduce
the Democratic vote in EeW York. But.
Ter was telegraphed to, and requested
by the President, as a special favor, to
aid the AttOrney-General with his adj
vice.
The President states that he will turn
the guns of the forts Of New York on the
city, in case of opposition to the enforce
ment of the Radical election laws.
ShreWd old politicians here thing that
the President is needlessly raising Issues
in New York, the failure Of which viii
crush him and his party politically
This policy has reOpened the bitter Re
publican feWds in thel Empire State, and
gives the Democracy a hold ON 1t that
cannot be relaxed for years. But Grant
clings to the idea that he can elect Wood
ford by the aid of Ben Butler, Tom Muir
ply, Sharpe, and MOrrissey, and hopes
for great things from the alliance be-
tween the corrupt wing of the Republi-
cans and the rotten sore-heads Of the
Democracy.

ELECTION,
As the day Of election draws nearer,
the Radical conspiracy to carry this
State by the bayOnet becomes more and
more evident. To-day Lieutenant Col
Onel FOrney, the hero Of the Philadel-
phia election, arrived with his marines,
and is now quartered in the Flushing
avenue barracks, BrOOklyn,o Tonight t
is reported that two regiments of negro
troops will arrive tomorrow morning.
Marshal Sharpe began the task Of
swearing in ten thousand deputies. He
said he would take every man known to
be a good Radical II ne could get tllir-
ty thousand he would take every one
It is not believed that he will be able to
find five thousand, Every honest Re-
publican is disgusted and alarmed at the
EuCIul luLGIACEGuCO III - olEtt6 bllu Ulue
nicipal election, and it Is confidently
predicted that Of the forty-twO thous-
and Republicans in this city, One-third
will vote the Democratic ticket and one
third abstain from voting st all.
There will be no riot on election day,
unless it Is a part of the Radical pro-
gramme to force one; but the ballots
once in the boxes and counted, Heaven
pity the marine or soldier who dares to J
show his face In our streets. The true
reason why the Governor aud Mayor
will allow the Federal soldiers to inter |
fere in the election is that the miiitia ere |
not TO be relied on, tho commanding Of |
flcers being principally Radical politieI- |
ans, appointed BY Fenton. However,
the number OF target companies in New
York have wonderfully increased with. |
In tho last two months, aud over HiEtv !
have been organized within ten days.
They are not the Old-fashioned eolapa- |
MES, that borrow the cap, muskets and !
target.
Each company is armed With the best
springfield muskets manufactured, and |
each musket is the property Of the man !
carrying 1t. Some OF tho papers have
quit lnnocently remarked OF late the |
large number Of companies, thirty and |
forty in day, single that pass through
