M Dea. Gouernor-I have your letter of tn,
18th. Am glad to have the assurance you Civ,
Der ]. B. Price was candidate against me il
1874. Since then he has quarreled with tn,
parties you know Of, and it comes out that they
went back on me all they could then, and dom
want them to have the power to hurt me again
II We get things settled here l will be dowI
about the close Of your Legislature, ana We vii
then arrange it. l have little that is new to tel
you from here. No talk about new election
this week, and l hardly think any further actor
will be taken by Butler till Pinchback's case is
decided.
He say. he had it from the White House te
make the move.
The President is quiet, but not letting down
If Pinchback is not seated, judge we will have
Of the Admmistratio ton. You have heard what has
probably changed the Presidents mind in our
case there. have it from the very best OF ar
thority that in case Of new election Casey would
some to the Senate, and you can see if there IT,
~ seems sure to me, a move for third term, the
President would like to have him there. Then
you know the family influence. OF course, il
Pinchback is seated, the whole thing will drop
and il not admitted it would not affect tho case,
except that the President is against us.
think from what you hear from all Of MS, voc
will fully understand the situation, and know
you will keep things in good shape there. Here
tho delegation will, think, remain, as they now
are solid, and If 80, We can beat them in any
election, they are going for lis, the delegates,
down there. It amt good to make threats; it
don't scare anybody. Bring any and all influence
to bear on the President you can think Of and at
once. Can't you get up solemn protest from
merchants and others, and get the Herwi8s to
nrge on Caey change Of tack? Casey amt here
now; is in New York. It seems to me Durell's
case looks bad, though If Morton is active enough
may save him. He has Chandler employed. Will
write or telegraph you when there is anything
