There is great activity at the republican and
liberal headquarters over the October cleo
tons. Cheering reports have been received
from Indiana by the republican national COM
mittee. Mr.. Foster, chairman of the State
committee, writes that the republican party
in that State was never before so thoroughly
organized. There is every reason to believe
that the State will be carried for Grant by an
increased majority. Gov. Jewell leaves this
city tonight to take part in the Indiana can

Hartrantt' election in Pennsylvania, and are

and scores of others will follow. The central
committee of that State have thoroughly can-
vassed every county, and report that not
withstanding the reported detection in the re-
publican ranks, there is strong probability of
the defeat of Mr.. Buckalew. Gov. Jewell
said this morning that he thought Hartranft
would be elected by a moderate majority, and
even in case of his defeat he believed that the
vote for congressman at large would prove
that the State is largely republican, and GER
tain tor Gen. Grant in November. A letter
was received at the republican headquarters
to-day from member of the republican State
committee of Mississippi, promising an I'M
precedented majority in that State for Gen.
Grant. He writes among other things that
the colOred men are unanimous for the re-
publican candidate, and says that thousands
of democrats refuse to acknowledge Greeley
as their candidate. In Colfax county three
hundred democrats have signed an agreement
not to vote for Greeley.

Political Notes.

The political canvass in Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indiana occupies the attention of the
National Grant and the Greeley headquarters
in New York. The Greeleyites, who here
tofore have been very slow in organizing their
forces in the Keystone State, are at last wax
ing up and making desperate efforts to secure
the defeat of Gen. Hartranft and carry tho
State for the Greeley cause. They assert that
the defeat of the Republicans in Pennsylvania
would exert such an influence upon the other
doubtful States that Mr.. Greeley's prospects
for the Presidency would be much improved.
The regular Republicans there, however, are
confident of Gen. Hartranft's election. Ar
rangements are being made to send more ora
tors into Pennsylvania. Very favorable re-
ports from Indiana are being received at the
Grant headquarters. The party in that State
is thoroughly organized. A letter from a
prominent politician of Mississippi promises
that the majority in that Stateifor Grant will
be large. p

Attorney General Williams has written :

Attorney General Williams has written a
letter to Alexander H. Stephens, in reply to
his letter urging the pardon Of the Ku-Klux
now confined at Albany. Stephens, the Vice
President of the would-be Southern Confed-
eracy, took it upon himself to lecture the
Administration on its sins and iniquities.
The Attorney General answers his appeal
and criticisms in good faith, and defends the
Administration from every charge alleged,
while he aims to prove the tallacy of the
naughty Southron's argument. The opinion
is entertained that the letter was written for
political effect. If so, the reply will neutral
ize all of Stephens sarcasm and sophistry.
If the correspondence is to be made public
Mr.. Williams prefers that Mr.. Stephens should
make public both letters. .-..--....:
