State, the Governor can hold bill pass
ed at one session Of the Legislature un-
til its next annual mesting, without eli
ther vetoing or approving it. For near-
ly MONTHS it is charged, the Governor
has held this bill in suspense over the
heads Of the people and the municipal
government. The biennial election for
Mayor and administrations takes place
on the End of next November and, the
candidates have just been nominated BY
the Conservatives. They claim that
the city is Conservative by large ma
jority, and that the ticket viii be elect
ed unless the Governor interferes. I'm
der the decision above referred to the
Governor may sign the new quarter bill
even after the election. An address was
issued to-day by the Conservative lead
ers, protesting against any such action
on the part of the Governor, though ex-
pressing hope that no such intention
exists on his part. The address con-
oludes as follows: Without intending
to use any language Of menance, we de-
clare that in our opinion any such act
would he attended with most seriously
endanger the public peace, which we do
Most earnestly desire to see preserved.

WASHINGTON. Oct. s. In compliance
with the request of Secretary Belknap,
made yesterday on Gen. Sheridan, to
detach a regiment of troops from his
Department for duty in the South, Gen.
Sheridan has issued orders directing the
18th Infantry. commanded by Col. P.
r. Detobiland, to report for duty to that
Department. The Secretary of War
this morning received a dispatch an
nouncing that six Companies of the
regiment, under Lieut.. Col. Morrow,
had started for the South, and that 9th
er Companies will follow as soon as
they can be collected. .a.ae
When General Sheridan was in Wash
ington, attending the Sherman wedding,
in an interview with Attorney General
Williams, he told that official that to
withdraw any of the troops under his
command would tend to cripple him in
his aggressive movement against the
Indians. 1t was then agreed that he
should not be called upon for any of the
military in his Department. To-day an
order was issued which indicates that
there is some strong lmpelling motives at
work that has succeeded in breaking
that agreement.

Of Republican colored men have issued

They say they cherish no animosity to-
ward anybody; are laboring for the un-
ion of races, in which their rights will
be mutually respected. They say they
are Republicans by instinct and convic-
ton, bu. depreciate and disown election
frauds; that though much encouraged
