POLITICAL ITEMS.

-Nasby calls Greeley "The Bushwhacker
of Chappaqua."
john G.. SAKE, the poet, has announced
his intention to take the stump for Greeley in
Maine.
Lieut.. Gov. Pinchback, colored, of Lou
isiana, has declared for Greeley and Brown,
and will stump his State for the Liberal nom-
inees.
- The electoral vote of the next Presiden-
tial election will aggregate 1926, making 1874
necessary to choice.
One hundred colored men have united
in letter to Mr.. Sumner, praying his advice
in the present political situation.
The Charleston Courier gives currency to
rumor that several prominent colored men,
of Northern birth, intend coming to South
Carolina to take the stump for Greeley and
Brown.
1t is stated upon the authority Of Colonel
Ethan Allen, Chairman of the Liberal Re-
publican National Committee, that Charles
Sumner has consented to deliver half dozen
speeches in favor of Greeley and Brown in
the Southern States.
Hon. Robert Toombs, Of Georgia, and
Judge Mackey, of South Carolina, think that
"no Southern man can ever object to vote for
a man because of his radicalism, after having
voted for Horace Greeley"
1t begins to crop out that the carpet-bag-
gers will not be able to carry the colored vote
of the South for Grant so unanimously as they
and their employer expected. The intelli-
gent negroes are finding out that the "Union
Leagues" are leagues for the promotion Of the
selfish interests of unscrupulous white Radi-
Gals at their expense.
The New York Tribune publishes letter
from a prominent German, showing that,
with one exception, every German Republi-
can paper which favored the Cincinnati move
ment gives cordial support to its candidates !;
that the leading Germans are all going the
same way, and that larger portion of the
Germans than has ever before been united on
one candidate, will be cast for the Liberal
ticket in November.
Mr.. Lincoln's first Cabinet consisted of
Messrs. Seward, Chase, Cameron, Welles, Blair,
Smith and Bates. The two last named are
dead. Cameron is for Grant; Chase, Welles
and Blair are for Greeley; Seward is uncom-
mitted. When Lincoln first became Presi-
dent there were thirty-one Republicans in the
Senate Of these Senators six are dead !;
thirteen are for Grant and ten for Greeley.
The opinions of the two others are unknown.
Horace Greeley declines to aid in the
establishment of new Liberal Republican pa
pers In reply to letter received a few
days ago, soliciting such aid, he said: 81 de-
cline decidedly to ask my friends to furnish
money to sustain newspaper in Washington.
1 do not consider this legitimate political
expenditure. If the people will not support
newspapers that favor my election, we must
get on without them as we may"
w. u. Sanders, the colored Maryland ex-
Grant elector, who has changed his position
in favor of Greeley, is now canvassing in
North Carolina. He writes from that State
to Senator Sumner that from all he can gather
it will be carried by the conservatives in the
election two weeks from to-day by a large
majority. He adds that since his arrival in
North Carolina he has been treated just as
any white man, and received all the privileges
that Mr.. Summers new civil rights bill pro-
posed to guarantee. Saunders says he is sue
ceeding in dividing the colored VOTE
In accepting the democratic nomination
for Congress, D. w. Vorhees made a long and
carefully prepared speech at Spencer, Ind,
on the 18th. He gave his adherence to the
Greeley ticket, though he thought many
democratic statesmen could have been elected
President over Grant He thought the ad-
ministration of public affairs in the South had
been the worst ever known in the history of
civilized people, and he could not wonder at
the demand from that section for anybody to
defeat the reelection of Grant. They believe
the election of Greeley will afford them relief,
and therefore they demanded his nomination.
It had been accorded more in Difference to
their condition and their wishes than any
other cause. If Greeley is elected he will
stand pledged by the strongest obligations
that ever rested upon candidate to accord
the South the blessing of just, kind and fra
ternal government. Failing in this, he would
