THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
Future Action Of the Democratic
Party.


Correspondence of the Baltimore Gazette.
WASHINGTON, November Il, ISL
Prominent Democrats now here and re-
Gently in this city represent that avery gen
eral interchange of opinions is going on by
letters and personal conferences among
Democrats, relative to the future action of
the party in the coming Presidential can
vass. Some advise a convention of the
Democratic party and regular nomination
of candidates for President and Vice Presi-
dent, irrespective of the action of the Con-
servatives of the Republican party. Others
suggest a nomination by Conservative Re
publicans, or those opposed to the present
administration, and afterward, if practical
bic, coalition of the Democrats with the
Conservative elements.
Generally it is advised that the final set
Element of this question be postponed until
the meeting of Congress, when a caucus of
the Democratic Senators and Representa-
tiyes, with the lights Of the party outside,
will consider the matter and recon mend
the proper action. 1t is regarded as certain
success for the Democrats il they shall
nominate a candidate of great power in
Pennsylvania; but the fear that iniudicious
counsel may prevail and prevent such selec-
ton, induces some influential members,
otherwise disposed, to advise coalition.
From an analysis of the votes in the State
elections Of last week, it is found that, gen
orally, where fair test was had, the Demo-
cratic or Conservative vote has gained, and
this fact should assure the Democrats that,
by a wise selection Of standard bearers,
men whose record is unimpeachable, and
whose past history is typical of the advanced
ideas of the present day, the Democratic
party can carry the next Presidential cleo
ton beyond a reasonable doubt.

MEXICO.
Battle with the RebeIs Near Monterey

Hattie with the Rebels Near Monterey.
MATAMoRAs, MEXICo, Nov. I0.-The
telegraph line to Rio Grande has been COM
pleted. A courier arrived yesterday from
Monterey bringing dates to the 4th. At
that date 200 cavalry sailed from SatillO on
foraging expedition, and encountered
rebel forces. The Government troops are
driven back, with a loss of one-half their
number. The rebels are exultant. Two
regiments of Government cavalry have ar
rived at Saltillo. Trepina has carefully
fortified Heelaz. Mueritas is commanding
the road between Monterey and Saltillo,
heading off the arrival of reinforcemenJs.
They had commenced firing, and began
making preparations for an attack, which
was set down for the 9Th.
Escobedo has placed at the disposal of
the government all the San Luis forces.
His cavalry are now at Ekaron, on the
border. The government forces from Tam
aulipaS, under Cortona, have advanced in
to Nueva Lem. Navaris fell back to Mon
terey. Cortena is now at CamalOs, having
advanced twenty leagues from Monterey. 1t
is said that Covajah viii head the revolu-
ton in Tamantap.

GRANT TO BE SLAUGHTERED.

correspondence Of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
NEW YORK, Nov. Is, lS71.-The gather
ing of large number of leading Radical
politicians at the Fifth Avenue Hotel is not
accidental, but in accordance with appoint
ment. Among those present are Butler,
Blaine, Fenton, Carl Schurz and George
Wilkes, all of whom were in conference
last evening, and are again discussing this
evening the propriety of uniting upon an
other Republican candidate for the Presi-
dency and dropping Grant. Boutwell,,
though not on hand, has his agents present,
who profess to be here with the view of as
sisting Blaine in the formation of the Con
gresSional Committees, but really to cut
Grant. While the President was at the
hotel yesterday to bid good-by to his son
Fred, these politicians all kept shady. To-
day, however, they are exceedingly active,
especially Schurz, who points TO the success
of the German vote last week in favor of
reform as guarantee that any man no1ni-
mated in opposition to Grant will receive
their unanimous support. Butler is as yet
non-committal, but is willing to sell out
Grant if it pays.

THE LAWYERS FEES IN THE RAIL.
ROAD CASES

To the Editors of the Union and American:
The stand you have taken in the case of
the exorbitant fees Of the lawyers in the
railroad cases justly entities you to the proud
appellation of the 'People's Paper" for you
are clearly defending the rights of the far
mer and tax payer; persevere in it, and the
people will sustain you, and if there be any
remedy point it out, and then if it is not
corrected the fanlt will rest with the people.
If we are in the hands of the legal fraterni-
ty, it is high time the people were awaking
to the fact, and high time they were shaking
of their lethargy. l am surprised to see
some Of the names giving affidavitS as to the
business and fairness of that charge. The
people are not in condition to stand such a
drain u!'on their hard earnings, and they
will not stand it, especially when the labor
of the lawyers was light, as compared to
other cases, and no pecuniary liability at
taching to the attorneys in the case. Hur-
rah for the Peoples Paper.

OBERLIN, O., Nov. l5.-The National
Congregational Council convened at ODER
lin to-day, and opened its session at the
Second Congregational Church, at eleven
O'Clock this forenoon. About 400 delegates
are present, including many distinguished
doctors Of divinity from different States
The principal work of the forenoon was
the temporary organization of the Council
for the adoption of constitution to govern
the present and all future sessions of the
body. The Rev. DIR. Hatton, of Milwaukee,
was elected Moderator pro tenl., and Rev.
DIR. Holmes aud Rev. DR.. Moore, Secreta-
ries. Committees on credential and nomi-
nations were also appointed.
Considerable time was occupied with the
taking of the credentials of the members.
1t was decided by vote to admit one dele
gate from each Congregational Benevolent
Society and Theological Seminary, TO be
restricted only in the right to vote.
The Business Committee, the most i'm
pOrtant of all of the committees, consists
of Rev. Dr. 4. L. Chaplin, Hon. IL. p. Ha-
ven, Alpheus Hardy, Rev. J. II. Fairchild
and Rev. Jas. w. Strong. This committee
withdrew at once, and returned with a
programme fer the daily session, which

and proceeded to discuss the draft of a
constitution to complete the organization
of the National Council. A cross discus
sion arose on the question of creed, few
being satisfied with the completeness of the
definition Of faith. 1t was proposed to an
mex to the constitution the whole declara-
ton Of faith as set forth at Plymouth, but
the length Of that document offers a Sc
rious objection to such action and after long
debate the meeting finally adjourned with
out taking definite action upon the article.

To the Editors Of the BRien and American:
The imminent prospect of Gen. Grants
renominattoR for the Presidency forbid
any discuSsionof probabilities on that hand.
1t Is ioreordained, and it is doubtful even
whether the formality of a nominating
convention will be INDUCED. The Radical
party belongs TO Grant and is the Grant
party of the country. Now, If gentlemen
connected with the Republican party desire
10 defeat even Grant, there is but one prac-
acablo way Of doing it, and that is to call in
each OF the States IN battlefront c5s5csstiOn
and let that convention nominate an cleo
toral ticket, composed say, equally Of Dem
ocrats and snti=GraRt Republicans, selecting
Tor the places the purest and best men in
The respective States. Let this ticket be
run in ca h of the States on its own merits
unoomplieated with anybody's candidacy for
Tor the Presidency. Let this college of cleo
tors If elected such go on the day prescribed
10y law and cast their votes for President
and Vice President. ] verify believe that
such ticket would prevail over the Grant
ticket in New York, PENNSYLVANIA, and
Ohio, and in enough other States to insure
the defeat of Grant beyond peradYenture.
This was the original intention of the
Constitution. The convention system prac-
tically did away with it and made the cleo
tiers mere cyphers. This plan recurs to
fundamental principles, and has the advan-
tage of taking the whole field against Grant.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. lj.-The excitement
in Clark county over the Park tragedy is
slightly abated. There is no danger of
lynching the prisoners. A number of other
negroes have been arrested on suspicion,
including Squire Taylor, John Taylor,
Early Hill and another named Clay.
A search Of Taylor's house brought out the
fact that he has been receiving quantities
of stolen goods from Chicago since the fire,
a large lot being found packed in a
box. The grand jury were in session all
day at Charleston, where the prisoners
have been taken, examining into
the affair. The prosecutor thinks there is
evidence enough already to find bill.
