Liberal Headquarters.

Liberal Headquarters.
Matters looked rather dull at the liberal heads
quarters yesterday, the heat seeming to have got
the better Of the politicians who usually crowd the
rooms.
John P. Finch of Indianapolis, chairman Of the
State Liberal Committee Of Indiana, gave some l
particulars OF the progress OF the campaign In his
State. He says that owing b Senator Hendricks
war record and what he did that time, or, rather
what he did not do, some Of the liberal republicans
regard him with a certain amount Of distrust, 4
which may probably have the efrect Of keeping
them from the polls In October. Only very small
portion Of the party, however, seem 30 dis
posed, and they may reconsider their deters
mination betcre the election day comes
on. In the southern part Of the State there Is .
slight disafrection among the democrats, an In
dividual Of some local prominence, Jason B. Brown,
Jason nf the Golden Fleece, having taken the
stumr for Grant, course to which, it was said, he
was strongly urged by an inducement held ont to
him in the shape Of $40 900, which furnished BY
the Grant party. His following, however, is not
large and has diminished in numbers since he first
commenced to speak. Senator Morton Ia indefati-

the commencement Of the canvass, and his

Letters received from the Southern States assert
that 1t Is absolutely essential to the welfare Of the
country that the colored vote should be split; and
the National Committee are strongly urged to send
speakers to south Carolina, Mississippi and Als3
three electoral States could not be secured, the
moral eject Of dividing the vote would be incalcu-

Greeley will carry the country, and think the
main efforts OF the liberals in the Southern States
should be directed to secure, If possible, q ma
COnQreSSmen.

furnish further particulars about the split. White,

The Democratic Headquarters.
Among the prominent visitors at the democratic
headquarters yesterday were Senator Doolttle,
Wisconsin; General N. p. Banks, Massachusetts
Hiram Crozier, Maine, and Colonel Hatch. New
Orleans.
Colonel Hatch expressed great regret at the fall
ure Of the Pinchback party to fuse with the liberal
republicans, ana thinks that the action Of the for
mer means the solidi1cation OF the negro vote.
Great expectations were entertained that hsrmo-
NOUS fusion would have been effected, but the
negro element in the Convention was too strong
on the side OF Grant. Colonel Hatch still enter,
tains hopes that II coalition Of all the factions Cd.
posed to Plnchback can be formed, Louisiana viii

doubtedly go for Grant. strong effort is to be
made to bring about q combination, and now that

.Advices from Maine continue to be favorable.
Messrs. D0olitte and Crozier report great enthusi
