Three more Greeley clubs in New York
have come out for Grant and Wilson.

The Presidential election will not take
place in all the States on the same day, as is
generally imagined 1t will begin in Louisi-
ana on the fourth of November. All the 9TH
er States, except Texas. viii follow ON the
9th. and Texas will close up the business with
a four DAYS election. from the 4lh to the Sth,
inclusive.
There is no mistake about it, New Jersey
promises a handsome republican majority on
the 9Th of November. Our friends there are
wide awake; Greeley republicans are few

was adopted, but the clause separately sub
mitted, excluding colored men from Office,
was rejected. The attempt at political retro
gression was thus happily defeated.
The Louisville Courier Journal, whose edi-
tors ran away from Grants armies fast
that their coat tails could not be seen for the
dust, have discovered that Grant is very in
ferior pers on, and that the only aptitude he
has manifested is for appointing :ncapa-
bic people, and people who disgrace the pub
lie service, to ill the important offices OF the
nation" And yet Grant has managed some
how or other to make his appointments wi h.
