most uncommon anxiety"
Two wealthy citizens Of Washington have
made an even wager Of fifty thousand dol
lars each on the result Of the Presidential
| election.
The democratic ticket for state officers in
South Carolina is made up Of three Gener-
ais, to Colonels one Major and two Captains
all ex-rebels.
TIM South isuow solid for the democracy
because the democracy was so solid for the
South during the rebellion. One good turn
deserves another.
TnE New York Sun, which is the most ef-
fective organ in the metropolis says that
there can be no doubt that John Kelley de-
sires the defeat Of Mr. Tildeu and is work
ing insidiously to that end
While the nation was struggling in the
throes Of civil war and needed every dollar
that could be raised, Mr.. Tilden was de
frauding it by swearing to false returns aud
publicly predicting that the war was
failure.
TE T'riLuHe says As the time for cleo
ton comes nearer, the independent voter is
more and more inclined TO give his ballot to
the party which, with all its faults has been
the truest and best the country has ever
seen. lie wants a change, but no, a change
for the worse"
Now perhaps Mr.. Tilden will be willing
to express his opinion OF the system Of
wholesale terrorism by which the democratic
leaders at the South are striving to secure
solid vote. This is Of even more importance
to the nations welfare than the prevention
of the payment Of rebel claims.
Now it is in order for Governor Hendricks
to define bis position on the southern claims.
\ great mass of the democratic party hope
and believe that Governor Tilden will not
live TO finish his term if elected. II there is
any ground for such expectation the views
Of Governor Hendricks are important.
Tnr present condition Of the South, the
arrogance of the democratic leaders there,
their disregard Of law, and their determine
ton to rule at all hazards, is an unmistaka-
BILE foreshadowing OF the kind Of govern
ment this country would have under Tilden,
and the administration that would be forced
upon him. Cincinnati Ga-eHe

CmcuLARs have been sent from Tilden's
literary bureau to the Westerns states, beg
| gng the democrats to stay at home, and not
be absent at the November elections. The
absenteeism among the Republicans is likely
10 be very great on that day, unless precau-
tions are taken. In the October election week
fourteen thousand people from Ohio were
registered at the Ohio building in Philadel-
phia. OF these, eight thousand were men,
aud five thousand of them Republicans,
making loss to the Republican state ticket
OF not less than two thousand. 1t is believed
that Indiana lost quite as many Republican
votes from absentees.- Washington Special
OuR friends in the interior of the state
express good deal of alarm lest the fraudu-
lent vote Of New York and Brooklyn should
render abortiye all their efforts TO elect Re
publican ticket. We can assure all such
responding Republicans that the registra
ton lists of those two cities will be subjected
to the most searching scrutiny and that the
most thorough preparations will be made to
keep the vote within its legal dimensions
The system of verifcation Of the registry,
which has been devised for this city, is one
of the most perfect which has ever been ap
piled, and by election day the names Of al
least nine-tenths of the persons who have
registered illegally will be in proper hands
for proper action.--New York Tines.
