As Secretary Folger refuses to intimate
his intentions concerning his desired resie-
nation, there are numerous rumors in re-
gard to it. The latest one, and one that is
said TO come from authentic sources, is that
he does not intend to resign willingly. and
that should he defeated, of which there is
now every probability, the President, under
the advice OF his New York friends, will re-
quest the resignation of all his present Cab

OF stalwart politicians, who will run all the
departments of the government with the
single purpose OF securing himself second

Intelligence here from certain quarters of
Virginia to-day Is to the effect that most Of
the democrats who were dissatisfied with
SOlulutUc6t0cnC
campaign, and who were either lukewarm
IN his cause or avowedly opposed to him,
have been SO provoked by the low assaults
made upon the industrious. intelligent and
thrifty portion Of their white fellow citizens
by the Mahoneites and their negro allies.
that almost the last man of them will turn
out on election day and assist their neigh
bors in the effort they will then make TO
redeem their State from the degrading
thraldom to which which she is now sub
lected From other quarters comes the
news That the white people who had be-
come tired OF being in the minority and
were on the fence, have all come back to
the democratic side since the Ohio election
wisely concluding to wait until it is posi-
lively determined which is the majority
party before they make any change. From
others again the reports are that the demo-
Gratis are apathetic and without orgapiza-
ton but that they are now waking up and
will be able to bring out their full vote on
election day.
Mr.. Morris Marks, one of the republican

says that if they do he will beat Mr.. Ellis
beyond a doubt.
Mr.. S. Taylor Suit, we'll known repub-
lican politician of Maryland, says that he
believes the democrats will elect the entire
Congressional delegation from his State
next month. He says Mr.. Montgomery
Blair is almost sure to be elected, and that
he hears all the Quakers in Montgomery
county will vote for him. Mr. Suit is also so
certain that Indiana, Pennsylvania and New
York will go democratic that he will
back his opinion with money.
