the Quartermaster General to have war
rant issued for its payment.
In this latter department It has now stuck
for about twenty-four hours. Somebody
with conscience evidently declines to take
the responsibility of paving claim which
has been so long in dispute, and the mo-
nves for paying which are SO manifest and
palpable.
Grants Policy of"wfnnins'' Recruits.
Ever since the outbreak of the Liberal
Republicans Gen. Grant has been firm
believer IN the policy Of winning recruits
from the Democratic party to supply the
gaps caused by disafection in the one which
elected him. The nomination of Gen. Dix
as Republican candidate for Governor of
new York, with the uneoncealed determi-
nation that it was made to win Democratic
votes, recalls similar sentiments expressed
py the President some time ago. For the
truth OF what follows Senator John 4. Lo-
gan ear rctch: Just before the Cincinnati
Convention, the President became very much
disturbed over the assaults which were then
Oelng made upon him in the Senate. In
conversation at that time with a distin.
gulshed BaltimOresD, who has long been
prominent In Maryland politics, the Presi-
dent sharply criticised the conduct of the
Liberal Republican Senators, and said that
ne hoped that they would leave the parry.
"rheir theories and actions embarrassed
ms Administration greatly; and he would
IKE nothing better than to supply their
places with some good, honest Democrats"
and continuing on this topic he said that if
any number OF Democrats voted for him
for reelection, he should recognize that
element both in his Cabinet and in the
general administration of affairs. This was
said long before the present campaign had
assumed its present shape, and when Blan-
ton Duncan was simply an obscure citizen
having claim against the Government
which was not worth more than the price
OF old paper. IL the Presidents statement
as above given is incorrectly reported, Sem
ator Logan can make the proper correction.
Telling Effects Of Summers letter.
In Loyds, Essex county, Virginia, a
Greeley and Brown Club has been organ
lied, four hundred colored men belonging
to it. This is said to be tie effect of Sum-
ner's letter in this county alone. In the
adjoining counties the same state of things
exists, only the men who.are employed by
GRANTEES are afraid to attend the Greeley
and Brown meetings in day time. The
most Of the colored political meetings are
held on Sunday evenings.
Greeley stock Advancing I'm Maine.
A prominent Republican writing to an
official In the Treasury Department, from
ork county, Maine, says that Greeley
stock is constantly gaining, and that large
additions are being made to the Liberal
Republican ranks there. The prospect, be
writes, Is good for carrying the first district
for the Liberal party. He thinks that Gen.
Banks stump speeches in that State will be
followed with much good, as he is we'll
known and admired throughout the State,
Notwithstanding Grants haired and opposi
ton toward him because he was civilian
soldier and refused to sink his manhood
and do Grants bidding, and dirty work.

Senator Sumner Hopeful,
New YORK, Aug. ga correspondent
who saw Senator Sumner at Boston this
week, found him about to depart for Ma
liant, bis physician having ordered him to
the seaside. He will enter the canvass If
his health improves. "From all l can
learn" he said, sand, my correspondence
covers good deal of country, am disposed
to conclude that Greeley and Brown will be
elected by an overwhelmingly large ma
jority."
Greeley's Strength in New York.
Several weeks ago the Herald detailed a
veteran political correspondent to travel
throughout the State of New York, to as
certain the Liberal streBgth. In his final
summary, to day, he says: "Judging from
all have seen during my travelling through
various counties, can hardly see how the
result can be other than Liberal triumph.
Present indications in the interior all tend
to foretell Liberal victory"

swollen by still others, it is said, among
whom will be Harlan and Caldwell, of this
State, who was Adjutant General here
after the war, and then taken care of by
Hamlin in the South American mission.
For few days Grant managers have had
decided advantage in point of noise, but
the tables are turning again, and with the
advent of Trumbull, nsworth, Banks,
and other Liberal Republican speakers, the
hands of Conservatives will be strengthen
ed as never before. Everything looks well
for the cause Of reform. Nearly every
county has effected substantial union Of
the opposition to Grant, and among the |
people changes are significant against the
Administration. Hundreds of men all
through this State are going to vote for
Horace Greeley of whom no word has been |
