CARD NO. =.
To the Citigens Of Montgomery
County.

The reply of Mr.. Ingram to my card
in the Chronicle of last week. issue
which will be found in the last issue of
the Tobacco Leaf and in a circular
which has been distributed generally
requires special attention by NE.
| refer you, gentlemen, to the above
publication for proof as to the cor
recsness of the quotations shall have
occasion to make and the grounds on
which | now present additional charges
with specifications against Mr.. Ingram.
1st. | said in my card that Mr.. In
gram saw me on the street and said he
wanted four or five hundred Radical
tickets for district No. 4, for one Con
stable Taylor, for the negroes of that
district He Qngram) said he was
afraid to order them or strike them, I"
&c. (See articIe.)
Ia his reply, Mr.. Ingram says: "The
statement made by Geo. Harris through
the columns of the Chronicle of this
date is wholly incorrect in many i'm
portant particulars"
This declaration is false, as I shall
prove by this and other quotations
which | shall make.
Mr., Taylor, of No. 4, told me On
gram) that the negroes in that district
wanted to vote for Smith, and that he
was a favorite of theirs"
You see by this Ingram admits that
he and Taylor had been negotiating for
lot of bogus tickets.
2nd. | said in my card that he In
gram wanted me to tell X. Ligon to
strike them (thc tickets) on Monday
or Tuesday night before the election
so that he Ungram) could have them
by Wednesday morning, ly the time
his paper came out
Hear Mr.. Ingram on this point. II
told Mr Harris that Taylor wanted
the tickets" &c, and that Ligon
would be the only chance to get it
done" | am again endorsed by Mr.
! Ingram.

eating to him UIigon) Mr., Ingram re.
quest, as stated in my card See how
he shifts his sails.
Ingram.-"Wc print Radical and
/ Democratic tickets, and try to suit all
customers" Il understood Mr.. Tay.
lor that the tickets were not intended
to be distributed over the county, but
only for the negro voters of No. /"
Now, Ingram, did you, or did you
not, comply with Mr.. Taylor's request
You have said in your card that yor

Ara Radical gathering in MARYLAND

AT Radical gathering in Maryland
TO prepare for the soldiers reunion at
Pittsburg, IL was solemnly resolved
that the bcys in blue will extend the
right hard of fellowship to the boys
in gray, provided the latter will cor
daily support Grant. Such a condi-
tion to such proposition very clearly
proves that the boys in blue, whilst
extending the right hand would, with
the left, pick the pockets of the boys
in grey. And the Southern soldier
who will accept the proposition to
shake hands on the condition annexed,
is none too good to pick the pockets Of
the bows in blue.

ANDY JOHNSON seems to think that
Greeley is not the right man in the
right place. A review of his own war
record, and his reputation Of the
terms of the surrender which opened
the way for the subsequent wrongs and
sufferings of the South, under the in
famous reconstruction policy, do not,
very clearly, indicate him as the right
man to assume the leadership of Ten
ncssec Democracy or to sit in iudg-
ment upon the merits of the man
whom that party has accepted as its
candidate for the Presidency. Andy

Hon. Landon G. Haynes Is the Dom

Memphis district. Should he be elect
ed to scat in the Capitol, old Brown
low will probably die of commissions,
superinduced by the proximity ef the

THE Paris Intelligencer was led to
believe that no efforts would be made
in that county," (Montgomery) by
any body, against Gen. Atkins, that
would bee personal character, and
wants its vote explained. If the In
telligencer has heard of any personal
efforts against Gen. Atkins, it has
heard more than we have, and the pco-
pie voted their preference, uninfuenc-
ed by anything personal in the offcns-
i've meaning of the term. Dorsey b.
Thomas was their choice for reasons
we can not attempt to explain; but in
expressing that choice we have heard of
no one who based itupon anything de-
rogatory to the character of Gen. At
kins. So far from it, we are satisfied
that the people of this county will sup
port him as freely as if he had been
their first choice. Personal preferences
are controlled by no fixed law, and
often can not even be explained. 1t is
impolitic, therefore, as well as unjust
to infer that such preferences are
based upon damaging imputations upon
private or public character.

IT seems that secret conclave of
eorcheads, recently held in Nashville,
have taken steps to nominate Ed. Bax-
ter as a candidate for Governor. 1t is
expected that he will get the entire
Radical vote, and enough of those who
oppose Conventions, and favor a free,
miscellaneous fight, to secure his cleo
ton. How we'll founded these expec-
tations may be, we are at a loss to say.
The time has been when such move
ment would have been crushed in the
germ, by the weight Of public indig-
nation and contempt, but the disor-
ganized condition of the people-their
opposition to any system of party or
ganization-aifords ground to hope
for the success of any movement that
mockingly invites the free, untram
melted action Of the people.

THE Grant party is becoming go
desperate that it proposes to nominate
leading Democrats for the Office of
Governor, hoping in this way TO divide
and conquer. This game is sometimes
successfully played, and will be again,
wherever Democrats are so unpatriotic
or SO green as to be caught by the bait.

ue WED DEFJYEs HIS POSITION

MIR. WEED DEFINES HIS POoIIIOh'
Mr. Thurow Weed just after Mr.. Lincoln's
first election deliberately proposed that the
Republicans should consent to o partition OF
the Federal Territories, so as to surrender to
Slavery all South of the parallel 3G' SV. 1t
was in earnest opposition to tins proposed sur
render that Mr.. Greeley evinced willingness
to leave the question of Union OF Disunion to
"A falr uncOnstrained vote of the Southern
people, after full discussion. IF Mir. Greeley
Numbered in making this proposition. anxiety
to save the Territories from Slavery, and the
Republican party from shame,iprompted him
to it.
In the very middle of the War for the
Union Mr.. Weed resigned the Editorship OF
The Albany EreniRg journal expressly, avow-
edly, because of his opposition to Mr.. Lin
COINS Emancipation policy, which he deemed
certain to defeat the restoration of the Union.
We do not question Mr.. Weeds loyalty.
He meant well. but made very great mistakes,
of which the foregoing are samples An Edi-
tor is more likely to make them than others,
because obliged to act quickly when Others
may Judge deliberately. lie ought, then, to
he very charitable in his judgments of Others.
Mr.. Greeley also made mistakes in the course
OF that terrible War He was most anxious to
avoid blOodshed, if that end could be achieved
without "a sacrifice of the cause of Human
Liberty. When hOstilitics had been inaugu-
rated, he was impatient of inactiOn, as were
thousands who cried "On TO Richmond = with
this journal, and turned square around and
laid all the blame on The TRIBUNE when ut
terly needless disaster had been incurred by q
dispersion of the Union forces which might
and should have triumphed at Bull Run. He
was impatient for Peace so soon "a it could
be achieved without a sacrifice of the Union
or of Emancipation.
Mr.. Weed thinks Mr.. Greeley's programme
of peace in July, 1868. was bad one. Presi-
dent Lincoln held the opposite opinion, ana
was eager To make peace on the terms sug-
gested in private confidence to Mr.. Lincoln
by Mr.. Greeley. The President was better
qualified to judge on that point than Mr..
Weed is.
Mr.. Weed strings together odds and ends
from all quarters to Mr.. Greeley's disparage-
ment and asserts that Mr. G. wished to
extend amnesty to persons guilty of arson
and murder. Surely, DO amnesty could screen
from justice those who perpetrated these
crimes, which the laws of war never justified.
Mr.. Weed plainly indicates that he cannot
vote for Mr.. Greeley. Who ever dreamed
that he would

LILLE POST on TRANSATLANTIC.

The unduestiOning faith with which The Erer-
ina Post, ever since its return 10 the bosom
of the Administration, has defended all the
frauds and denied all the shortcomings of the
Presidents political managers is curious to
contemplate. Such implicit confidence In man
kind is never found except IL he very old,
the very young, or the very foolish. We GER
tainly cannot place The Post in the second of
these categories, and we doubt whether it
would be polite to place it in the first. But
it must go in one of the three. Here it b., for
instance, declaring that there certainly was no
outrageous fraud in the Pennsylvania cleo
ton, and that nobody believes there was.
The majority was increased merely because
there was an enormous increase in the aggre-
gate vote. 1t is quite natural that The Post
should prefer to take the majority as it comes,
without impertinent inquiry where it came
from; for every ballot-box suffer and false
counter in the Republican party has had the
promise of "a liberal reward and no questions
asked" and the Administration journals well
understand that on these subjects discreet
silence is their principal duty.
But let us look at the "large incrcaser
which The Post has found in the aggregate
vote. The basis of comparison must be the
votes of 1868, which were much larger than
those cast in any subsequent year Up to 1872. In
October, 1868, the aggregate vote was 653, los,
and in November it was 655.6G2, ,he Republican
majority in October being about 1900. Now
the increase in the population of Pennsylva-
MIA between 1860 and 1870 was Gi5 ,47e; between
1868 and 1872 it may be estimated at about
half thoan hpnras or say in round pumharS
100000, which is doubtless considerably under
the mark. That ought to give an increased
vote of 10000, at the very loves calculation.
In point of fact, the vote Of October 1879
exceeds the vote of October 1868, by only
1921, yet the majority has been counted up
from 1000 N plQIn han 4QQQQ. p..0dy who
