State elections in 1870 by ma
jorities rangirg e from 1,70O to 4,500.
The white vote e>~aeds the black
by about 5000. T ( radicals have
pat on their ticket some native
white men Of good character.
Arkansas.-Is regarded certain
for Greeley and Brown. This
State up to this time has been
"ruled by the most desperate and
villainous carpet bag ring to be
found anywhere in the South. A
Liberal majority ofat least $4,000
is counted upon. It is said that
good many of the negro votes
are for Greeley.
Delaacare and Forlda.-Delaware
is certain for Greeley. In Florida
the white vote exceeds the black
by about 1000. Florida is re-
garded doubtful. The chances

by about $4,000 majority.

North Carollna-Chances are
SOOO lOE UIceieS.

the whites out-number the blacks
by nearly two to one. In Virginia
it is expected that Greeley's ma
ijoritv will be about 10000. AS to
West Virginia, the late election

The States which are doubtful,
but which will probably go for
Greeley are:
Alabama. ....... 10 Louisiana. 80. IS
Florida. ........4
AoIHl. ...... -
The only South State which is
counted as certain for Grant is
South Carolina-7.
The one doubtful State which is
probable is Mississippi--9.
Such is the view Of the situation
in the Southern States, as given
by d correspondent of the New
York Tribune, who claims that he |
has visited each State referred to,
and that his conclusions are based |
upon i fair, accurate and impartial !
examination in each case.
The reviewer thus concludes:
'If Greeley carries none Of the
doubtful Southern States, he can
be elected by the vote Of New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Indiana. with those States in
the South of which be is sure. If
he carries Alabama and Louisiana.
as | am confident be will, the vote
of New York and Pennsylvania
alone will come within one electo-
raj vote Of the 1S4 required for
choice. Or. he could lose Penn
sylvania and still succeed with
Indiana and New Jersey, and
either Connecticut, Wisconsin, or
any two ofthc three Pacific States.
The Liberals At the North may
be assured that the prospects at
the South are fully as encouraging
as | have represented above. If
Hartranft is defeated in Penn
svlvania in October, there will be
no further doubt about the result
in the States | haze classed as
doubtful, and in all the South
Grant will be able to expect no
