The National Election Law.
On Saturday Geo. A. Heinrich, promin-
ent Democrat of the Eleventh Ward was
arrested upon an accusation of q special
deputy Marshal for an alleged interference
with the latter's duties as canvasSer for
election. On being taken before DaVen-
port, Federal Election Commissioner, who
is also United States Commissioner, bail
was refused and Heinrich was ordered to
the Ludlow Street jail. To-day Heinrich
was again brought before Commissioner
Davenport who admitted him in bail of
$1,000, and adjourned the hearing OF the
case to Thursday. The case excites a
great deal of interest, inasmuch as it in
wolves the principles arising under the
new election law for this city.
Appeal of Southern Merchants Against
the Continuance Of the Grant Admin
tstratiOn.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
NEW YORK, Oct. ia circular has
been received at Democratic headquarters,
addressed to merchants of the city, by mer-
chants ofthe South. 1t asks them, as they val
ue the prosperity of the Southern States, to
do what lies in their power to defeat the re-
election of President. They claim that four
years of carpet-bag rule will fix upon them
commercial paralysis. In supporting Horace
Greeley they say they give every possible
evidence of their desire for reconciliation
and peace; that four more years of Grant
at the South means probably war of races,
certainly a re-enthronement of carpet bag
gers, and they express the hope that if
commercial men of the North value the re-
vival of the industry of the South, they will
unite in saving its people from impending
calamity. These circulars have been sent
from every portion of the South, especially
the cotton States.
The Liberal situation.
At Liberal headquarters cheering lie tier
have been received from all the doubtful
States. Reports from Mississippi pro-
nounce that State certain for Greeley. In
Tarboro, North Carolina, it is stated club
of Greeley colored men, counting over d
hundred, has been established. There were
only fifteen colored Conservatives there at
the first election. The news from Illinois
and Wisconsin is encouraging. The New
ark Journal has table of probable major
ties in New Jersey counties, giving that
State to Greeley by over 5000 majority.
The Times to day admits that the Liberal
cause is not killed, and calls for continued
exertions by the Grant party. r.
The Herald thinks Greeley's defeat prob
able, but proceeds to say: "There has, how
ever, been a sufficiently powerful aud dang
erous rebellion against the existing Admin
| istration to mark a serious disaffection in
the public mind toward the party in power.
The strength of the opposition has been
thus far astonishing, even if it should not
again rally in threatening manner. With
! out any regular organization, with old par
ties shattered and scattered, without money
or official patronage, it has forced the Ad-
ministration to extraordinary efforts in
order to prevent it from becoming an
| Overwhelming success. In North Caro-
lima, at the opening of the campaign,
it struck down the unusually large
Republican msjorities, and won a
substantial victory for the Liber-
ais. In Ohio, it seriously impair
ed the Administration strength. In India
ma it achieved a brilliant and decisive
j triumph. In Georgia it showed strength
that shook the accepted belief in the posi-
ton of the Southern States. ALI this was
accomplished in the teeth of patronage
that is becoming alarmingly influential, and
of moneyed power probably uneqUaled
since the initiation of political contests in
this country. These States by no means
settle the question of the Presidency, al
though they unquestionably greatly
strengthen the chances of an Administra-
ton triumph in November. Above all we
desire to impress upon the opposition the
Importance of maintaining the fight to the
last hour and using all legitimate efforts to
secure success"
