The Loudouu Republican, ultra Radical, !
MONDAY, OCTOBER IA, 1872.

The Loudouu Republican, ultra Radical, Is
severe 10 ITS comments upon the nomination by
the Radical Convention, which net IN this
place, of candidate for Congress for this dis
trict. 1t says that ''the idea of the Repubh~
cans nominating man for Congress IN this
district of their own party is too absurd prop
osition for sane man to entertain who IS not
in the interest of the enemy and 1t adds:
1T happens that during and since the war a
few persons in Alexandria have held and con-
troed all the Federal offices in this end OF the
State This squad of men have ways found
it convenient to oppose every man for ottlce who
wears not their pusillanimous yoke. Ii there
is any inclination to run Republican for Con
gress here it gains all its inspiration from these
few men who are struggling desperately to con,
troll this patronage. and not from the rank aud
f'e of the party anywhere.
In reply to the assertion that unless noml-
nation was made, COL Mosby would have the
control of the patronage, it says:
'We happen to know that Moshy has Meth
or one nor two eyes on the plumber, as the ring
imagine. If MoSby were.to control 1t he could
do no worse than the ring, by putting 1t 10 his
pcckct or spending it to get more. We are sick
aud tired of this patronage question, and We
trust it will all be abolished.
To which latter question, will go up u

Some time since it was made to appear that
the exodus of French citizens from Alsace and
Lorraine would be towards Canada. Now we
are informed on the authority Of the Govern
ment emigration agent at Quebec that none
can be received who lack the means to sustain
themselves without being burden to the peo-
pie Of the Dominion. la view of this state of
affairs and the fact that French Canadians are
coming to the United States in increased num-
berS every year, it is regarded as probable that
the South and West will ultimately absorb the
greater portion of the emigrants from these
provinces If these Immigrants will seek home
in this State instead of Canada they will find
that willing industry will be deemed an acqui-
Sition, and their labor will soon put money in
their pockets

Hartranft, the newly elected Radical gov
crnor of Pennsylvania, is not inclined to be
magnanmous in his hour Of triumph; indeed,
"on the contrary, quite the reverse" In a
speech at Norristown on Friday night last he
said "A few men who had assumed to be
leaders deserted to the enemy while the battle
was raging; but nobody followed them, and
their going has given US peace and harmony
and increased our majority So far as am
concerned, intend that they shall stay outside
of the party until they repent of their treason
Even then they must take their place in the
rear, and not assume to lead the troops they
attempted to betray.'' That is the way the
rulers of the party crack the whip over the
heads Of offenders and bring them under

The Louisville Courier-Journa in referring
to the defeat of Mr.. Voorhees, for Congress in
Indiana, says: "Mr. Voorhees, made mistake
in the beginning of the Liberal campaign; he
put words in the mouth Of the enemy. 1t is
true that he did what he could to repair the
damage, and made most brilliant canvass, but
after all it beat him. No matter how adroitly
politician may handle his detours out of the
straight path Of one leading idea, maintained
with faithfulness and daring, there is still a
feeling in the people that candor is better than
policy: and so, in spite of personal magnetism,
distrust will creep in.''

PRESIDENTIAL CALCULATIONS. The follow
ing are the calculations of the Washington
Capital as to the result of the Presidential cleo
ton. The reader can judge for himself, con-
ceruing the probabilities:
The States that may be set down as nearly
certain for Grant are Maine, 7; Massachusetts,
-; Vermont, 5; Michigan, IL; Mississippi S;
South Carolina, I; Pennsylvania, 20; Ohio, -.
Total, lU2
The States that may be set down as nearly
certain for Greeley are New York, IS; ~ a
bama 10; Delaware, 3; Georgia, Il; Indiana,
Is; Kentucky, y; Maryland, S; Missouri, IS;
Tennessee, II Texas, S; Virginia, il; West
Virginia, 5; Connecticut, G. Total, Isl.
The States that are considered doubtful are
Arkansas, 6; New Jersey, Q; Florida, 8;
Louisiana, S; Nevada 3; North Carolina, 10;
New Hampshire, s. California 6; Illinois, 81;
Kansas, 5; Minnesota, 5; Nebraska, 3; Ore
gon, 3; Rhode Island, T. Wisconsin, 10: Iowa,
H. Total, III.
Thus, it will be seen, Mr.. Greeley enters
the doubtful list with majority of torty-nine
over his competitor. Thirty. three Of their
votes will secure his election, while it will need
- of them to secure the election Of General
Grant OF these Arkansas, 6; New Jersey, g.;
Florida, I; Louisiana, S: Nevada, 3; North
Carolina, 10; New Hampshire, >; total, As,
may be set down as morally certain for Mr.

votes, II more than is necessary to an election.

that are counted in his favor California, s.;
