bad been wrongly attributed to him by New
York radical turncoat of lS74-tbere are ooue
of tina. class 10 New York now-says:-"M
first choice, indeed, for President was Senator
Bayard, of Delaware. But concur heartily
in the choice of the ST. Louis Convention, and
10 their platform, 80 direct, explicit and no.
equivocal in its every demand for reform, and
this do the more unhesitatiugy for the rea-
sou that have long believed Gov. Tiden to be
one of the few statesmen 10 any party who is
capable to fulfil the pledges Of that mastery
platform in respect to reduction of expenditure,
revision Of taxation and relurn to specie pay
meuts With s,eadiness, case aud safety, reliev-
ing labor which now everywhere begs 10 vain
for employment, aud liberatiug capital, which
now 80 generally hides 10 dstrust.'

The fears of the President using the soldiers
now in the South for the purpose of carrying
the elections 10 some of the states Of that Sec
ton are on the Increase. The Washington
correspondent of the New York Herald says
there is good deal Of apprehension among
the democrats that the President will use troops
10 the Southern States during the CANVASS to
intimidate and carry those States, as was done
in Louisiana in 1874, and there has been quiet
consultation among leading men about the pro
priety OF keeping Congress 10 session during
the whole summer aud fall, 10 readiness to pre-
vent him, so far as it could do 20, BY protests
and agitation. This project will probably fal!
through, for except to protest the House could
really do nothiog.'

says: Presidential betting, excepting
private bets, and except in rare in

cities, where there is more confidence
in the result than in the North and
West, the bets are $500 on Tilden to $500
on Hayes. In most northern cities the
chances are considered about even, but
betting men are holding off for more GER
tain Indications. The result in this
State generally finds more betters than
the general result, the odds being in
favor of Tilden about $l00 to 500.
