rrRoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENCE

There Is the greatest anxiety to hear abou
the progress of the campaign In Pennsylvania
Ohio and Indiana, and the great daillea, ap
preciatiug the fact, have their correspondent
perambulating those States from one end Il
the other, and give long columns Of theL
speculatlons every morning. The represen
taliVes Of the Tribune, World ant
Herald unite in bestowing Pennsylvania
upon Buckalew by from fifteen thousand Il
thirty thousand majority. Edllorially thu
Tribune and World are both confident o
Liberal triumphs In the three central State!
in October and November. The Herald con
cedes Indiana to the Liberals. and Ohio to the
Radicals next week, and contends that Penn
s~ylvanla is very doubtful, with the chances
slightly in favor of Buckalew. The Times

Buckalew's majorities outside OF Philadelphia,

The use we can put 1t to is this, that we can

One OF the standing boasts of the Grant peo-
nile In this city has been that the business men
are unanimously opposed to Greeley. They
suspect his financial vagarles, and fear that
he will Introduce changes which will be
followed by revulsions In business. None
of our merchants have more at stake than A.
T, Stewart. His caution and foresightedness as
q business man are unqnestioned. He has
Inst made the emphatic declaration that In his
opinion the election OF Mr.. Greeley would
cause no financial trouble. He approves Of
Greeley's policy of RELOCATING the tariff ques-
tIon TO the people, and criLlcises the course of
the present secretary of the treasury In pnr-
chasing government bonds, not yet due, at q
large premium, very severely. Mr.. Stewards

After several mysterious ontglVings by the
World, the name OF the gentleman who Will
be the candidate of reconstructed Tammany

mayor has been at last made public. The an
nonncemept WAS made simultaneously, aud
apparently by concert, by the World, Herald
and Tribune. The name ls that of William

mayor, Havemeyer, has been nominated for
mayor already by some of the minor local fac

The deaths OF two conspicuous New Workers
have lately been announced; Rev. DR.. Vim
ton, of Trinity Church, and Professor Francis
Lieber, OF Columbia College of this city. The
latter is as well known In South Carolina as
here from his twenty-three years. residence
in the capital of your State, which extended
down to the year 1858. DR.. Lieber, who had
been extremely popular In the South, greatly
offended its people when, after hls removal to
the North, he became one OF their most viru.
leat and persistent detamers. He had ex.
perlenced naught but kindness at the hands
of the Southern people, and he was one oil
the loldest to hound on the war which aubse'
ouenlly broke out against Them. This course
Of DR.. LIeber's was u~naccountable to his for
mer friends, and remains without salisfacto'
~ explanation to this day.
