THE ABsENTEEs -Prssidont Grant
left Washington City on the 1lth Of June
last, and only returned on the 9th of
September, making q total absence of
about three months and q half, during
which time he has received for doing
nothing $1,000. The Secretaries of
State, Treasury. Interior and Navy, the
Attorney General, Postmaster General,
Register Of the Treasury, Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, Commissioner OF
Patents, and . number Of other bureau
officers and numerous clerks, have also
been absent nearly all of the time for
electioneering purposes. Osing to these
numerous leaves Of absence and the sx.
citement over the Presidential elections,
the departments are greatly dsmorslized
and the pnblie business is 10 arrears and
confusion. There is some talk Of 70.

The most Influential and widely circu-
lated German daily in New York, the
S'aat' Zsitung, which has been on the
fence regarding the presidential struggle,
says. concerning Grants and Cameron's
pardoned peni'entiary birds in Phlidel.
pha. THE Liberation OF the swndlers
Mercer and Ycrkes from the Pennsylva.
MA state penitentiary is an act in regard
to which the fruest purpose of the
hrmest man to keep his blood cool in
this contest of parties is placed on trial
which is too difficult to bear. The Cam.
eron clique, by this act of desperation,
has given up Pennsylvania. What will
our Pennsylvania neigbbors do? We
should not only despair of them, but of
the whole American people, if Pennsyl.
vania does not strike just such a decisive
blow against the Cameron ring as New
York did against the Tweed ring. Grant
is personally mixed up in this matter.
People will form their judgment of
Grants case from these circumstances
and eventually throw Grant and Hart
ranft overheard together.

Senator Osborne of Florida arrived in
this city to day, and tried to revive the
dropping spirits Of the Administration
party and the committee here by stating
that, in bis opinion, Gen. Grant has got
the best hold Of the state and our friends
are sure Of success in Georgia and Flor.
ida" lie estimates that tho Liberal
strength in Georgia is on the decrease,
so much SO that the Liberal ticket will
be easily defeated, Senator Osborne saws
that, from his recent visit in New York
and Pennsylvania, he thinks that the
Administration party will be successful
In the mean time the Georgia election
will be held to Observation-Disclosures

The election in Pennsylvania ana
number Of other states took place yester'
day, Tuesday, bu, as yet We have n T"
turns fro n them. 1t is conceded by the
Radicals, however, that Pennsylvania is
sure CT a Democratic victory. They
have worked hard to prevent it, but the
corruption and crime Of the party in that
state has told strongly against them.
Hartrarft, the Radical candidate for Gov
srnor, is gully Of crimes for which he
escaped punishment, while his accom-
plices, at least two Of them, were con.
demned and imprisoned, and to clear the
worthy of the charges made against him
by his own party, as we'll q, by the Dem
ocra,s, il was proposed to release his con
federates on condition tha, they would
make O sworn statement exhonorating
Hartranft. One of these ccnvic's,
Yerkes, accepted the proposal, and the
statement was prepared, the convict
signed it to procure his pardon, aud in
half an hour after the perjurer was out
Of prison aud Tlartranft. private attor-
ney took the statement of ierkes to the
newspapers. This statemrnt denies the
truth Of his former sworn affidavit, fixing
the guilt on Hartranft. The Press
(Forneys paper) supplies number of
facts which completely establish the
guilt Of IIartranf. How is tina. for
honor, buying up convict to perjure
himself for the purpo.e of clearing
their leaders, character They couldn't
find a man outside Of the prison walls to
clear him. nor inside either, for that
matter, except as price for his pardon.
What further expresses their di-confit.
ure is the colonization of negroes and
rou.tabou's in the state, for the purpose
of voting the Radical ticket. Washing
ton City is almost depopulatcd fits col.
ored citizens, uho have left Oh this mis-
sion. But the Democrats are confident

enough to forever disgrace the Radical
party in the eyes Of homes; men, but they

to keep their corrup; leaders IN power
