land we are determined to carry to success
ful issue this Fall in the election of Horace
OCCASIONAL.
GETTING DEsrERArE.-Tha Grant and
his unscrupulous hirelings will not hesitate to
resort to any means. however foul. low and
rascally. in order to compass their ends, no
man can deny. In their despera-
ton they will attempt anything; and the fol-
lowing extracts, which we take from a lead
ing Eastern paper, exposes dirty trick which
was attempted, but fortunately failed. BY which
the Administration hoped to secure the elector-
al vote of Louisiana, or at least to crush out
all opposition in that quarter by resort to the
most desperate measures: l-lt
HUMBOLDT, Tenn, Sept. 2O.-The great
race. 458 miles in nine hours, Grant against
Greeley. Greeley wins by 1O3 miles. Pinch
back aad Warmoth both were in New York
few days since Pinchback gave big
dinner to Warmoth and suite, and in the con-
fusion caused by an abundance of wine, the
former suddenly disappeared through back
door. Warmoth smelt mice, and cent run
ner to the depot, who returned with the repert
that Pinchback had started to New Orleans,
having first sent dispatch to have the Leglsla-
ture convene Immediately. Warmoth took the
next train after for Humboldt. having ordered
special train to be in readiness on his arrival.
He arrived at Humboldt at II p. n. WedRes-
day, and learned that Pinchback had gone via
Memphis Signing a release from all DANA
ges to life and limb, Warmoth jumped aboard
the special, telling the conductor to put him
through at lightning speed, or there would be
a devil of q row in Louisiana. He made
Canton in the unprecedented time Of FIVE hours.
and found the train with Pinchback aboard
about to pull out ahead of him. PiRch-
back was informed by business looking man
that there was an important message at the
Office for him, to be delivered to him personally.
Unsuspectiag Pinchback went for it, and while
IN the Office the special train slipped by and
Greeley was SAFE Pinchback, on reading the
dispatch, became exceeding wrota, and bring
ing his fist down ON the counter, said: That
Id Warmoth is at the bottom OF this.
Warmoth arrived in New Orleans, and i've
hours after a eheepish looking individual fol-
lowed. It is surmised that the trick by Pinch
back was to assume control of the State Gov
erment, as Lieutenant Governor, in the alb
sence of Warmoth from the State, convene the
Legislature, and tie his hands till after the
election; perhaps proclaim martialla law and have
himself appointed Military Governor and dis
franchise the Greeley men and carry the State
for Grant
The conspiracy to obtain possession Of the
election machinery in Louisiana, in the inter-
est of Grant, seems to have been deeper laid
than at first supposed. Arrangements had
been made for calling together the State Leg
islature privately, and in the absence OF Gov
ernor Warmoth, and with Pinchback as act
| ing Governor, such action was tn have been
taken az would have given the electorI
vute to Grant beyond peradventure. Pinch
back. who was stopping at the Fifth Avenue
hotel, before his departure for New Orleans,
left his servant and his baggage in his room,
that his absence might not be suspected. His
engagements in Pennsylvania were publicly
announced by q committee to the same end
The plan was frustrated by the prompt action
of Warmoth in returning home. This effort
to deprive the Governor Of his legitimate func-
tions, and get possession of the election mo
chinery of the State by trick doubtless to be
used fraudulently, has excited much indlgna-
ton, and is regarded as showing how affairs
are likely to be administered in the South II
the carget baggers retain control.
Governor Warmoth was little too sharp for
the mougrel friend Of Grant that time; and
now, knowing that the dirty Custom House
ring, under brother -in-law Casey, win not hes
| itate in their choice of means to carry Louisi-
ana for Grant, Mr.. Warmoth will undoubtedly
be found at his post until after the PresidentiaE
election; and thus be enabled to checkmate the
scoundrels in every move they make.
