brag. The reports of the Tilden Literary Bureau
have created great enthusiasm in local Democratic
circles. Mr.. Harvey. in charge of the committee,
says Mr. Tildcns election is certain. In this opinion
the local committees agree. Notwithstanding the
reports of the fictitious pools the Republicans offered
n great many even bets to-day on Gov. Hayes A
dispatch has been received here from Chicago stating
that Gen. Sheridan knows nothing whatever about
gong TO New-Orleans. The last desperate expedicnt
of the Democrats has been to have sheridan appear
in Ncw-Orlcans tomorrow to take charge of troops,
but it appears that Sheridan is quietly IN Chicago
to-day and has received no orders to go to New
Orleans HIS recent visit here had exclusive refer
ence to Indian matters.
