POLITICS IN THE souTH..lN NEW YORK STATE.
Special Despatch to Ths Chicago Tribune.
NEW YoRK, Oct. 29.-The political news stirr-
ing here indicates that the Grant managers are
actively spending money in North Carolina and
Alabama. The Liberal cyphering on the Elec-
toral vote On the basis that all Southern States
except South Carolina will elect the Greeley
ticket, has spur1ed them into further invest
mont in g1eenbacks. The Times hae special
from North Carolina, announcing that the Great
ley Elector in Ashe County is out for Grantt .
Is also an agent sent from New York to distribute
Liberal documents among the negroes, and that
the Shelby, N. O., Banner has hauled down the
Greeley flag and hoiated that Of O'Conor and
Adams. These sudden changes are tho result
Of Administration bribery, pure and simple, and
the news Of all reach the public on the same
day to increase thoir moral effect. North Caro-
lima is claimed for Grant BY dfteon to twenty
Thousand majority. The same sort Of strategy
will be practiced in Alabama
Secretary Boutwell, pronounces New York
Icans claim q strength Of aityrfive
thousand in this State, as shown by tho actual
canvass. Greeley's majority in New York is e1-
pected to reach II, 1000. Clerks at Grant head
quarters in this city have been occupied lately in
mailing printed communications to various Con-
suls and Vice Consu1a abroad, requesting contri-
buttons for defrnying the expenses Of the can
VASE. The diplomatic representatives seem to
have boon remiss, for written communication
attached to circular states that ae the first
communication had met with no response, a
second was Forwarded, and prompt attention was
requested.
Six hundred mechanica had been appointed to
the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The employees on the
pay-rolls nov exceed 8, 900, though there Is but
little to do.

great industry. pictorial circular has been
distributed ali ever the city, With his portrait

words $3.50, 600 for the poor" Owing to the
peculiar composition of Grantism in New York,
Mayor. This will make Tom Murphy the power
behind the throne in New York City, as he will
be also in the nation at large, if Grant is re-
elected.
ADMINISTRATION PREPARING FOR MORE OUT
RACES IN NEW YORK.
NEW YonK, Oct, 29-The ontrages hitherto
perpetrated by Commissioner Davenport pale
into insignidcance before others that are
threatened by him. The Commissioner has en-
ployed large force Of clerks at the Government
expense to manipulate the registry, and they are
at work in his private residence, 149 East
Forty-ninth street. About twenty-five clerks
are comparing names on the present registry
with the fraudulent census taken by Marshal
Sharpe and where such nameR do not appear
on the census or on the registry Of 1871,
the fact Is recorded on q separate list as good
ground for arrest. This accounts for the asaer-
tion OF Commissioner Davenport that hundreds
ofarrests would be made on election day. The
question is universally asked, why was there
none Of this Administration scrutiny in Phila-
delphia just before the October election 2?
