The Nashville Union and american
says: I" MOsby is for Grant. Generals
BeaIregard, Dick Taylor, Hays, Hebert
and Patton Anderson are for Greeley"

party, and August Belmont, for the best
of reasons, desires the reelection of
! Grant.
Just as we feared, and was naturally

ises are not such as the Radical leaders
want to have used for campaign dOcu-
ments.
The first effect Of Mr.. Greeley's nOmi-
nation was the passage by Congress of a
general amnesty bill, so-called, which
! removes the political disabilities of every
one but Senators and Representatives Of
/ the ThiTty-siXth and Thirty-seventh
| Congresses, judicial officers, and the Off
Gers of the army and navy who resigned
during the rebellion.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, writing on the
twenty-third, says: "COlOnel Forney
and General Cameron, who have been
leaders Of the different wings in the
Republican party in Pennsylvania, met
tonight in Washington to heal their
differences and celebrate the result with
a banquet, which was attended by Sen
atOrs Chandler and Anthony, Speaker
Blaine, Secretary Robeson and Others.
The reconciliation was complete"
The New Orleans papers published
call for meeting of citizens at the st.
Charles theater on Saturday evening,
the twenty-fifth instant. to ratify the
platform and nomination of the Cincin-

Senator Ferry, of Connecticut, has |
written a letter in which he SAYS: +" 1t /
was in accordance with the platform of
the party when / proposed to remove |
the disabilities which cucumber a por-
tion Of the Southern people, and when l |
an unconstitutional attempt to 1
aeement of their local affairs. But /
have found Democrats and Republicans
alike giving me their support in the pO-
sition that / have taken upon these
and I am grateful to both.
The moral of the Senatorial election in
Connecticut is not that any party or
faction or individual has won triumph,
but that the people sustain independent
thought and action in their representa-
tives.n
Colonel Benjamin S. Ewell, says the
Nashville Banner, is out in letter, over
his own signature, favoring the re-elec-
ton OF Grant. BE Is a brother of the
late General Ewell, was Adjutant Gen
eral ON the staff of General Joseph +.
Johnston during the war, and is now
President Of William and Mary College
at Williamsburg. He states in his letter
that be was in favor of Grants election
In 1865, and is as decidedly in favor of
his reelection. His confidence i'm Grant
in the terms he gave at Appo-
matOx, and his tribute to the manhood
Of the Confederate soldiers, added fotbel
that the election of any or
posing candidate, opposed by maiorities
Of both houses Of Congress, would
serve no purpose but To increase the
general disquietude aud ill-feeling.
