of the Legislature, yesterday, passed bill
amending the present law so that the addi-
tional Presidential Electors allowed by the

present law providing for the election of
electors at large.

interior postmasters and other Federal
officeholders have announced their OppOsi-
ton TO the State ticket; and as a conse-

party in open hostility to the Administra-
ton, and thus insure a Democratic triumph
in October beyond all doubt.

hald it by the grossest fraud. There are
no charges made against the present post
