to bet 500, 600 that Grant will be elected.
OF eighty-six counties in Georgia twenty IA
Yor Greeley. eighteen are clamorOus for a.
straight Democratic ticket, forty will abide the
Baltimore nomination, aud len are non~con-
initial.
JOHN PORE HoDNETT, somewhat known here
aFouts as q Fenian leader, has declared for
Greeley. Those who know him well, and the
amount of influence he wields, can make tlteir
own estimates Of how many recruits it would
take to place the philosophers defeat beyond
peradventure.
WARMoTH, according to the New Orleans
Picayune, will soon publicly announce his
| abandonment of all pretensIon to o re-nOmina-
/ tim for Governor. 1t is also stated that the
gentlemen nominated for state Offices by the
! Democrats will all decline. The object of this
! move is to facilitate d combination OF the op-
position clements.
| THE San Francisco Alta says that President
! Grant has "gone slow but sure, firm and de-
CIded and cautious IN every sense" and that
we have had peace during his administration,
and we will have four years more of peace and
prosperity if he is elected
HENRY WILSON is regarded as one of the
! most cOmmon-HensiblG men in Washington,
aud the one quickest sent for to arrange any
difficulty that may have arisen among friends.
He is inexpensive in his habits, and lives
among his books and his friends, visits great
deal, reads much never wines nor smokes, is
warm-hearted7 generous, and forgiving, and
altogether good style of man.
WHILE i'll New York, Mr.. Boutwell, conversed
alith many influential men, bankers mer-
chants and lawyers. All agree that that state
will give Grant a large ma iority, and that there
is every prospect that the city will also be car
fied against Greeley. Reports received il
Washington from other states are equally as
encouraging as the above. From Missouri as
surancGs are given that the state is sure fol
Grant by twenty thousand, and his majority
in Ohio is estimated attifty thousand.
A CORRESPONDENT Of the Macon (Ga.) Tele
graph writes as follows " Politically, we may
give su'len support to Greeley, but 1t Will be

Hon. HENRY A. WISE, of West Virginia, an
nounces that he cannot support the Creele,
ticket, and ii he is indorsed at Baltimore h,
sees no other cause open than to support Gran
and Wilson, and he will take the stump TO
them. Representative Platt says the republi
cans of Virginia will probably put Wise on tn
t Grant electoral ticket.

| WHEN q man signs his name ''H. Ct. Smith

who was asked that question, returned for a
5 answer, 'sDo you think my parents were d
