SHERMAN VS.. GRANT.

HAIU SUITE u
\ one would wish to see Is now going on be
tween the agents OF the two prominent car
didates for the Republican nomination for th
Presidency. Grant and Sherman. This Stat
i has but twelve votes In the convention, bu
that they are considered Of no little I'm
portance - evidenced by the fight which /
{ being made to secure them.
The Grant men, through circulars and one,
letters and by personal appeal whenever til,
public opportunity offers, are endeavorfDp Il
work up sentiment in favor of their chief
and that they have acquired no little inf1u
ence over the negroes Of this city cannot be
denied. They have with them the controlling
element OF the Colored Mems Protective
Union, large organization opposed to the
Custom House. and everything emanatinp
from II. and they have also enlisted under
their banner O number of the white ward
politicians, who were wont lii the past to con-
Jrol the ward organizations, and keep the
party line 10 the wards well up. Their past
places IN the Custom-H House. and they have
not received them, and hence every body and
thing connected with the building are con-
demned and opposed.
The agents also have their emissaries In the
country working upon the feelings of the
negro voters. They feel satisfied that II they
can convince the colored people that the cleo
lion Tor delegates means Grant or no Grant,
CD the street the other day, 'you let the mig
gers know that 1t is Grant we are for and
that he is In the field, and you cannot teach
them anything else. They will know Grant,
and Grant alone"
They also have hopes that when 1t comes
Equarely to the Issue, as between Grant and
Sherman, number Of the psominent men
now ~ the Custom House will be found On
the side of the former.
II sherman's friends are, however,
NOT IDLE.
They have enlisted with them and estab
lished at the Custom House several CORE.
tspondents OF Northern and Eastern Repuh-
lean journals, which are extensively read d0 ii
this city. and they are packing the Custom
House with men who are supposed to have
some political influence or who represent
some leader accredited with party control.
They hope, by fixing the party leaders In
this city and 10 the country, to Offset or do
away with the magic effect which 1t Is admit
ted the name OF Grant bears upon the colored
people.
These agents OF Sherman, however, are not

l
A correspondent Of the Cincinnati

] alluded to the fact that . secret
association was being organized by
prominent Democrats throughout
the state looking to the assassina
ton Of Den. Grant in the event Of his
nomination by the Republican party
for Prrsilrnt.
To-day was shown a printed copy OF
the by laws Of this organization, which
is something after the order Ku-Klu.
Klan, and the signers are pledged to
secrecy by oath, under penalty of death.
There are a number Of signatures to
til. paper, embracing the names of sew
eral prominent, wealthy and infusn-
tial Democrats in different portions Of
Kentucky, aud, i am told, the matter
has been working quietly for months
past. The gentleman to whom this
precious statement is sent is requested
to "use sll diligence in maintaining the
utmost secrecy; get all the prominent
men Of the party in your comfy to sign
the bylaws, and you will be called on
in ten days for its return" Ny INFORM
ant refused to disclose the names ofany
parties connected with the affair, but
said: "Thsre number Of good names
on paper"
For several weeks past open boasts
have been made that Gen. Grant would
never be allow ed to take his seat in the
event Of his election to the Presidency,
and the above facts bat prove that
such boasts were not without some
foundation.

ARObDer's Cave.

Burglaries and sneak thsfts have
been so frequent lately in Grsenville
and Jersey City, N. j., that several
officers were detailed TO work up the
robberies. On Monday they concluded
that the thieves were concealed in Cur
ri-'s Woods, a long and wide stretch of
unimproved land extending from New
ark Bay to the bank Of the Morris Ca
nal. They saw smoke issuing through
creviss in a rock, which was found to
be the roof Of a cave, the presence of
which was not known to the police or
the residents of Grsenvills. The cave
was fitted up quite comfortably, and
was large enough to accommodate a
dozen people. There were four occu-
pants, who were lying about brightly
burning fire. The officers drew their
revolvers and succeeded in capturing
the qnartette who were all young and
exceedingly vicious looking fellows.
