Greeley said in con- ‘versation, last week, that if the Liberals shogld : caxry eitber Indiane, Ohio or Pennsylvania tiis week he wonld be elected. The Tribure contin- ues to claim that, including Indians, Greeleyis sure cf 178 electorsl votes and will be successfal 1 if. in November, he sacures six more electoral votes from the uccertain' States of New | Hampshire, Californiz, Diinoie, Minni- i oie, Missiseippi, North Carolina, Rhode Ieland or Wisconsin. The World feels less hopefnl, but eeys: ‘$The time has come for testing the courage, constexcy, party i stenchnese. fidelity to sssociiates, or, to ex- E,re it 21l in one word, the marliress of all the X i3]no time for any Democrat, least of all, Democrats who Meepledy M.

Mr., Greeley did not meke Lis : Western trip of his own volition, Ent at the in- | stence of the Democratic Netional Com- i mittes. It is scant and iradequate praise ito eay thet he acquitted himself ) with feultless prafence. Alany Democrats who supported him beforefrom a mere sense of party abligation have supported him since fram a new | perception of his intellectual qualifications. If bia nomination at Baltimore was a mistele, it car mistake, not kis. He has borne_himself ‘so well gince thas the partyis as muca bouad lo { him as it would have been to the most fimmnfih- zoing Democret it conld have pat icto the feld. Ve canuot swerve or waver now.” The Brooklvn Eagle (Dem.) says of Tuesday's election: ** Out of 1,300,000 suffrages cast, the Administration will nct have, by ofiicial count, | & msjority of 25,000. This statement, showing the neariy exact balance of parties, should mod- erate the respective boasting and degressiun af eech eide. The Grant menin New York to-day hava been unheppr and fretful over Itdiena, though_inconsistently claiming thet the State ‘will go Republican in’ November.” _ Tke Postremnrks rather ungracionely: “It is the misfortune of Grant's administra- tion, rather than Grant's Zault, that the influence of the class of politicitns to which %forton belongs had gained ascendancy in it, and it-was to get rid of sach men and eradi- cete such &n element in the political affairs of the nation that the Reform movement of last ¥ear was sf and zcquired strength. There are good many people in Indiana who, 2§ poli- ticians, do not like the Mortan faction, and still others who believe that it isa part of that cor- rupt element in our national polifics which may, if not destroyed, prove our national ruin.” The Post strangely rezards Morion 25 a local issue, z_:ui predicts 20,000 majority in Indiana for rant. Thera is yet a lingering belief among the Lib- erale hers that Morton wall steseed in connting Hendricks out, asis eeid to bavo been accom- ph‘sthgd in 1868. is currently reported tliat Simon Camero: all throngh the redent campaign in Pennsymn-’ nis, had anthority to draw on Wall street for all the money he reeded. Last week, it is | said, Henry Clows coniributed £25,000, and other Grant bankers corresponding sums. In the way of reimbursement, Boutwell opened his hom ‘of plenty fo the extent of tem miilions, and ~ gave secret information to formard finances. The latier s2lso have i profited enormously by the fall in gold 2nd rise | in stocke.

Covtusus, 0., Oct, 10.~Tke Okio Sale Jour« nal. -to-morrow morning, will pubilsh & corre- epondence botween Hon. james G. Blaine and on. Thomss Ewivg. Jr, ia Tegind to tho charges recently mado by the New York Tribune in reference td tho alleged contract made with Speaker Blsino by General Ewing and Colonel J. C. Stoae, for neurly $2,000,000 of stock in fhe Lavrence, Pevmce & Wostorn Bailrond Compi- ny, afterwards mergad into the Union Paciic Eastern Division. The Tribune charge w2s that this stock had been received by Mr. Blaine in ayment for services of himself acd otter members of Congress in procuring the psesaze of the original Pacific Rzilroad sct of 1862, znd thas it hed been pnid in gmmee of a contrzct made in 1862 by Colonel Stone and General Ewing. Gensral Ewing's lot- ter is very full and explicit cn the waole subject. The moat _important. porion of-his letter 1s as follows., Generel Ewing eags: 4So far &3 ko chATge impetes to yan personal corruption in office, it is conclusively dispraved by tho public records accessibis to all, that you dla not enter Congrees for nearly & yeerand a Talf after the law referred to was passed: acdas 1o the other branch of the charge, my general Lnowledge of the business of the compeny. aad especially my. iufim:c‘v‘:dth you, make it certain thet sou could not have had asy contract with the company withont my ¥powinz the fact, snd = I unhesitalingly declrs that'you were nct in any manner or at 2oy time directly or indirectly employed by the company‘ or in any way interested in it or its affairs &3 stockholder or otherwise, in any capacity what- ever. Your brother, J. E. Blaine, ot that time Clerk of the District Court at Leavenworth, and one of ihe early settlors of Kansas, was the ovner of $10,050 of tho stock of the Leav- enworth, _E;\'.‘nbda ij “'es;fi Ruailroad Com- pany, which indeed was very generally 2mong infimential men cfeall pariies along the line of road in Konses, but that was in 1361 0r 1662, and s _considcratlo period before you were oven nominsted for yoer first term in Congrees. ‘Beyond that, theré néver was at tims the remotast interest in tha. company hel by aoy member of your f: iy, The entry of one miilion nine hune and twenty- thousand dollsrs of stock opposite the name of Blaine wes therefore wholly a fictionor a blun- der, and the grave imputations on your ] or snd that of the officets and agents’ of the Com- pany, are utterly groundless end without a ehadow of justification. I am informed that General Stono is now inEuzope. He will doukt- less teke occasion, when he learns of these charges, to epesk: for himself ahout them. So far 83 my knowiedge of the affairs of the Com- Fany goer, L deliberetely assert that it never by 2ny of its officers, agents or aitorneys made any contract, the procoeds of which thers was reason {0 believe were to be in any manner participatod in by any membar of Congress ar other public ofiicer.
