WAsHIssToN, October i2.--Iittls Interest
|is manifested IN the elections to occur TO-
borrow. For the first time I'm many years
the leading men Of the different parties who
have formerly conducted campaigns, taking
this capital as the headquarters, have been
away from their posts, evidently feeling
little interest id the contest. The. ABORTION
of the frapking privilege, which has mach
to do. with thessending of political 'doct-
-ments throughout the country, is one OF, the
causesaWhich increases the unusual apathy
concerning the elections. 1t is the general
impression in political circles. here that the.
Democrats will make some gains in Repubii-
can districts in the West. ~
/ The speech Of Secretary Robson delivered
AT Paterson, IN. j., on Saturday last is to be
regarded as q certain exposition of the views
tof the, President regarding the third term,
falthough one or two very obserrant and eau.
tious politicians believe; that it is trimmed to
suit the prevailing sentiment in opposition
to that disturbance of the, political horizon.
Robson has been known beyond all
others as the political mouthpiece Of
the Administration, his relations with
the President have been in all respects far
more advanced than those Of any other MEM
Der of the Cabinet, and the enuuciation,
guarded as it is, that Grant has no aspira-
tons for third-term occupancy of the pre-
sidential Office, is to be taken as conclusive,
and is SO regarded by all Radicals who have
hoped that the President will not enter the
campaign again for succession to national
executive honors. a=. De .s jE3H ~
Attorney. General Williams has determined
that the request Of Governor Brown, of
Tennessee, that the State should vindicate.

Of the Gibson county lynchers, though
there was every assurance that the State
itself would mete out justice and condign
punishment /, il the parties, indicted
should be proven guilty. Grant took,
no more notice of the telegram. OF Gov
ernor Brown asking that the State be al
lowed to deal with its OWN criminals than
to refer the kilograms to Williams. The re.
suit, as might have been expected, Is that
the United States courts are to try the cases,
and the State judiciary must remain alto
