turned, and to-day he teiegruphed to
President Grant, reiterating. in the
main. tue apprehension set iorth in
kilograms aud mail advices previously
forwarded by Lieutenant Governor
Davis. He makes no formal demand
for troops, but the tenor of his de-
spatch Is such as to intimate that he
desires the Federal troops to be called
to Vicksburg on election day. In tho
meantime, almost every mail brings
protests from reputable oitizens Of
Vioksburg. denounoing the action of
the executive officers as unwarranted
and without cause. other than to init
midate voters. A despatch received
to-day was forwarded to President
Grant. but up to the close of the de.
