FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENCE
NEW YORK, July 27.
Ex-senator Doollttle was in this city yester- |
day fresh from his North Carolina campaign. +!
The newspaper reporters were after him all
day, and he was appropriately interviewed.
The most interesting TACT connected with his
appearance In the city Is, that he is here en-
route to Maine, where he will at once begin
to canvass the State for the September cleo
tion. Maine is the next important State to
vote after North Carolina, and her verdict
will be almost as significant. 1t was the break
In the Democratic column In Maine, In 1855,
that heralded the coming triumph OF the new
Republican party, and "Maine shrieks for
freedom" was the cry that gave tremendous
impetus to the movement. ), ,;.,ss....;-t;.,..!l-
The Liberals have the start OF their Radical
opponents In Maine this time. For the last
three weeks General Fitzpatrick and Theodore
Tllton have been speaking to sufocatingly
crowded meetings, and arouslngra q regular
furor among the Republlcaus:E By this means
they are getting g great many Republicans
really begun. The friends Of the administra.
tion are strangely lethargic, and have not yet
put any speakers In the field to counteract the
efforts OF Grants eX dragoon and the ambro-
sisl.locked editor OF the Golden Age. Senator
Doolttle, one Of the most impressive and con-
vinclng orators in the country, goes now to
take up the work which the Liberal Republi-
can campaigners temporarily leave off, No
doubt he will attract very large audiences.
and the Radicals will be stung 10 the necessity
of importing Morton or some other heavy
administration gun to reply to him. MY
private advices from Maine are TO the eject
that the Liberal Republican detection Is as
suming such proportions that there ls an e1-
cellent chance OF carrying the state for the
Democratic Liberal candidate for Governor IN
September. IT North Carolina goes Demo
cratic 1t is almost certain that Maine will fol-
low In the same track.
I met yesterday the notorious Colorado jew
ett, who, by the way, bears wonderful re-
semblauce to NasC's caricatures Of Carl Schurz.
levitt was saving the air IL his wild demon, h Sas
strative way, and telling about visit ne mad
just made 70 Grant, az Long Branch. He
asked the President If he was sangulne about
his reelection. Grant, he says, became very
excited at the question, and replied,
with energy: "Now look here, Jewett, DO you
suppose II possible that the American people
are going to forget all the blood that was shed
and the money that was wasted In the war,
and elect Horace Greeley In the Interest OF the
Southern whites? I tell you no, sir They
are not going to wipe out the results OF the
war. It Is impossible ]" r
JeweLt says the man Is evidently earnestly
convinced that he will be reelected, and IS
almost impatient Of anybody's doubts. JeWett
subsequently, went to see Greeley, ana repeat
Reform candidate quite as confident OF his
election; 30 that 1t is certain somebody Is go
ing TO be dreadtully disappointed IN NoVem-
DER.
This campaign Is going to be the bltterest
ever had In this country. The Radicals nave
Greeley, and 1t will have the effect OF giving
vIrulent tone 10 discussion everywhere -Tne
attack of ex-Mayor Bowen, OF Washington,
upon his late friend and political associate, o.
8. Grant, charging him With "cheating" MIN
out of $25, 900, "wlLh GOODNESS and delibera-
tion that would do credit TO any blackleg,"
will not tend to restore the amenities OF
politics. Ii Bowen puts Ills threat IN eXecu-
tIon OF bringing suit against Grant at the
next term OF the District Of Columbia Court
as common swindler, aa ediylng spectacle
will be presented 10 the nation. Senator
Schnrz and General Pleasanton unite In this
mornings papers Ia branding Grant as an
tlCLHTeE
Times is bnsily engaged Ia striving to prove
that Greeley was privy to Jake Thompson's
scheme to burn tue Northern cities during the
war.
There are desperate intrigues going on be-
tween the Grant managers and some OF the
leading Irish Democratic politicians OF this
city. The purpose is to induce break IN the
Irlsn ranks for Grant. Jimmy o'Brien, ex.
sheriff. aud present State senator. IL the most
popular young Irishmau on Manhattan Island,
and as he has AL ambition TO be The next
mayor, he is the one who has been selected by
the Grant managers to operate upon. Inc re.
port Is that they have entrusted O'Brien Witn
two million Of dollars, In consideration OF
which ne contracts to carry over twenty to
twenty five thousand Irish voters 10 this city
10 Graut. He Is also to see 10 the arrange
men.s for repeating and ballot.box stuf1Dg,
of which he Is VIGOROUSLY the best msnipula-
tor In New York. 1t is known that the gov
ernment will have troops In the City on elec-
ton day, under the pretence OF putting down
riots, and Jimmy expects to have full swing.
The first move in the game has already been
made by the announcement that Alderman
/ Conan, an influential member of the old Tam
many Ring who has several times been act
inc MAYOR, has come out for Grant. Others OF
the ilk will follow, and then 0'Brlen will make
a noisy and conspicuous bolt from the De-
mocracy, with the expectation that his admir-
erS Will come G0mOllUR dlteE uim llho o HUN
of sheep. I shall be very much astonshed,
though, If O'Bren or any other man VIII be
able to swerve the Irish from their allegiance
to the Democracy, or from their belief that 1t
is their duly now to vote for the grandson OF
an Irishman for the Presidency.
Colonel Blauton Duncan, of Kentucky, VINO

ING around The New York Hotel for the past
fortnight, occasionally holding secret consul. !.
talions with Squire Flanders, Mr.. Van Allan
and Brick Pomeroy In some of the inner re-
cesses thereof. He keeps up q cheerful
countenance, but am told that he is dread
fully discouraged at the miserable responee he
has had 10 the Maryland Institute call. The
Louisville Convention will undoubtedly be
held, but 1t Will serve to show how feeble ls
the opposition to the Baltimore nominations
among the Democracy. There ls still In some
sections great Indifference among Democrats,
but very little disposition TO vote for third
candidate or for Grant. The boilers are In the
most trouble about candidate for President.
So far they are confined in their choice to
Colonel Duncan, Governor Wise, ex-Judge
| Clarke, OF this city, and Squire Flanders,
neither of whom could draw enough votes
from Greeley 10 elect Grant, which Is the OBJ
lect OF course. The colonel might perhaps
find candidate by advertising tor one through
the personal columns of the Herald.
The city papers are paying out great deal
of money for telegraphic dispatches. The
