OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 81, 1876,


WASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct. 81, 1876.
Those qoho aOont 1'5zden Elected-Ihe
Skies are Frightening, and the Solid
Men of Nea0 York CITY "Conai1og to
the Rescue The Defiant Tone Of the
Rebels I'm this Cjty-1'he PGrty that
Stole the School Fam1d IN NORTH
Carolina.
A very significant feature OF the pres
ent campaign is the ominous rebel
gatherings all about the city. We Do
not mean large me etings, but little ellqae'
of known rebel sympatEizals who gath
er in little knots about the streets and
in various families. and discuss Tbs
pros pect of Tilden's election and what
they will do when that event taxes
place.
l. IS the same crowd that 8ere always
Sc en- with their heads together dniiog
the rebellion. congratnlatlng themselves
on an apparent rebel victory, or com
miserating over disast defeat.
It was a common subject Of remark IN
those trying days, that somehow these
parties seemed to have the Dows, OF
either defeat or victory, before t1e
genera public got hold Of it. Now
they are seen rejoicing over the prnspecf
Of Tildens election and are laying Il!
sorts 81 plans for the future. Oce o!
them, formerly IN the rebel army, told
your correspondent during the pas week
that he only regretted one thing, and
that was that brave old Bobby IL ii J
not live long enough To see Their tioa'
triumph. Said he, I'VE are right IN The
road to the White House and you can''
help yourself, and the Norlhy rDcrs
| (meaning Democrats are helping us
rebels TO get right in there, and they are
Just fools enough tn do it. Many Of Us
Thought that was the best way 10 d 1t
sixteen years ago, but we were o2errnIpd
and went to war. We shan't do thar
any more. We will reach the White
House and carry out our endstn an easier
waE." That man held the rank Of major
IN the rebel army, and is SO sure of sue
cess that he was bold enough and frank
enough to express himself LII tn words
quoted above.
But ne is only little bolder than the
rest Of then, and PERHAPS little more
indiscIeet, for they are ali big with
expectations, and if they are realized. We
shall have all the cid ante behnm scenes
of Intolerance, ostracisIn, and shOot-you-
down system, if you dare assert your
rights.
These little. manifestations opcak
louder than long speeches or lo't'r9, and
more truthfully indicate the feelings
and purposes OF the old rebel sympathl
zers who, properly enough, arc now MI
Tilden followers, both men and women.
AS we approach the day of battle The
skies brighten and we see all around us
evidences hat the people are awakening
tn the Importance Of the pendiOg ISSUES.
The last cheering manifestation at This
1men Of coming victory, IS the published
CORES ponGence between large number
of the leading solid men OF New York
City and Hon. VIM. M. Evarts, requests Z
Linn to address his fellow citizens on The
leading questions which divi e the two
great political parties Of this country.
Mr.. Evarts has signified his Intended
compliance with the invitation, and has
notified the distinguished gentlemen
who have signed the letter addressed to
him, that he will give IAN express !.
sion, at public meeting in New York,
Of his views OF some of the principal
questions which enter into the pending
canvass for the election Of Presl-
dent and Vice-P President Of tic UniieG
States" Mr.. Evarts will speak in the
large hall OF the Cooper Union to-mor-
row evening.
The most gratifying tact connected
With this correspondence and Tr. Everts'
compliance, is the evidence i. furnishes
that a class of voters will take part 10
the coming election, who, generally
heretofore have either been indifferent
as to the result of political con ests, orl
have purposely abstained from parricipa
ton in e,e1tious. The letter OF invita-
ton is signed by such men as John
Jacob Aston and others, who eleading /

future welfaie and, indeed. the perpetu |
ity eff the Government under which we
live, is dept ndent upon the success OF
the candidates of the party which saved
the country, in the darkest hour Of its
history, aud re-established a Union, the
integrity of which was menaced by arm
