Presidential prospects. The reports received
we're generally encouraging, and point to very
CLOSE and doubtful contest in November. Eighty
per cent OF the German vote in Illinois ia claimed
for Koerner for Governor, and for Greeley, and
it is expected that the Gern1Rns will carry 1lli-
nois for Greeley. II was olaiined by the Ohio
representative that from 5000 to 5000 Liberals
refused to vote at the late election, and that in
the lower tiers OF counties there are from 5000
to 1000 Democrats who will not vote for Greeley

sr. LOUIS, Oct. 14-Carl schurz made speech
at St. Charles last night in which he said the Lib
erals intended to fight vigorously to the end Of
the campaign; that there was nothing In events
which had just taken place, and in the circum-
stancea surrounding them, which would in any
way dampen the spirit Of men engaged in the
Liberal move. He said II Grant is elected the
country would witness the most corrupt Admin
istration it had ever seen. He denied that there
was freedom Of election in the South, and
prophesied time when they would have to fight
fire with fire, force with force, and the country
would witness the deplorablo results seen
in Mexico and South America. He
said four years from now they
might be forced to elect Grant.

Ell PAso, H., Oct. 16.-The Liberals held .
large and enthusiastic mass meeting here to-
day. There was fine procession, consisting Of
cavalry and wagons, with beauty, banners and
voters. In the afternoon Senator Trumbull
spoke to hall crowded full lof people, many stand
ing clear outside the door. The address Was con-
vincing, and the crowd enthusiastic. This evening
We had q grand torchlight procession, and Cen
ern1 Black, our next Lieutenant Governor, spoke
himself particularly to his fellow-so1ders. His
speech was very telling, and produced immense
ec!d2 among the veterans, and also all honest
men.
Woodford County abounds with Liberals, and
the Democrats are very active. They are much
incensed at the palpable frauds in Pennsylvania,
and all are greatly encouraged at the favorable
result in Indiana, which is generally conceded to
insure Greeley's election. Oglesby's friends are
making desperate effort to carry. this sena-
torial District, and it is splendid place for
them to waste powder.
