Judge Ea- munds, Sceretary of this Comumittee, is much more hopeful of dividing the Svathern Electoral vote than most Nortbern Republicans are. He 8 certnin of South Cuarolinn and very confident of North* Curollun, Florkia, ond Loulslnna. Judge Settles’ friends renssert their confidence In Republican success in that State. In Florida there has been no general attemot to intimidatothe negro vote, and the discordant Republican factions in that Btate iave become united. In addltlon to this, thero is a large Cuban vote in that State, which Is nssured to the Republican ticket, ‘The nimber of nuturalized Cubuns i3 placed ut 6,000 A8 TO LOUISIANA, Benator West, who was licre a day ortwo ago, {s very contldent that Hayes nnd Wheeler will carry the State.

It fs ascertained thut these 1ifty-two porsuns were strateht-out Democrats, all'of whom reslded fn the State before tho War, and many of whom were in thu Rolel army. This Is the same Bishop Lyuch who, in 1801, when batteriea were already in prepar- tlon to reduce Fort Sumter, pubillabed uh ad- dress to the North declaring that South Curo- 1ina did not propose to rebel sgainst the Nu- t‘:unlul Govermaent, ond was pescoful und or- eely.

The letter of the Jeading New York bankers and merchunts favorlug the clection of llayes and Wheeler has created consternatlon ot tho Democratie headquarters, Thoe statements in tho sddress of thege prominent gentlomen rela tive to the effect of the clection of Tilden upon the public eredit oro inlly confirmed by infor- matlon {n pusscssion of the Treasury Dopart- ment. It {8 o fact which even August Belmont hhmsel! will not undertuke to deny, that every manber of the Syndicate, Belmont himself ex- ‘cepted, has either privatoly or publicly expressed theopinon that the clection of Tilden would defeat the further negotiation of tho per cent loan, T'his fear bas been omphasized y & recent lotter upon tho subject to thsTreas- ury Departmont from ous of the firm of Mor- tan, Bliss & Co,, monibers of the Amoriean bruich of the Syndicate, Itls also sald to be contirined by a ‘telegram from London to the Treasury froin 8 person aathorized to speak for tha Rothschilds, That telegram, it 18 repre- sunted, was {n reaponse to one from Becrotary Murrill, who urged wa spoedy a ncgotlation of the bonds as “wns possble between the October and Novembor electlons, Tho ro- !}ly from tho Rothschilds houso to the ‘reaswry Dopuctment 5 peported in sabstanco to have heen that no more bonds wonld be needed until after the November ¢lection, and that. whether the negotfations coull continued would depend upon the eletion or Qeleat of Thden, MISCELLANEOUS, The President haa reconsidered his decleion to o Lo tnlena to vote, Gen, Bherman's attention having been called to the statement that the War Department had In ts posacasiun reports from Gien. Ruger tothe effect that s largze & body of troops as s sta- tioned in the Bouth fs not required, he denles that any such reports have been rozeived at the War Depurtment. Gen.

[Cheers.) These were the real questions thut were to be settled i the comiug cleetion. If they be ecttled well and right, thut decislon would go through the vome Tt century with blessings on the Jand; but if it should be unfortunate, no man could predict what cvils would come to the country. The Republicans salid to the people that If the Den- ocratie party suceceded the negro would be re- cuslaved oud the Rebel debt would be pakd, when they knew that the Constitutlon, in ex- plicit terms, declared that from this thng hence and foreverinoro there never stiould be slavery nor involuntary eerviiude In the United States, or uny debt ever contracted in support of rebellion should be pald by thy State or General Government. This Constitution conld never be changed ex- cept two-thirds of cuel branch of Congress de- clare 60, us well as three-fourths of the States, It is settled forever that in this country there er be slavery nnd that no debt shall eyer be palil in support of rebullion by uny thority whatever, Another question {3 raised by the opposition.

Upon what right does any Republican dare to charge that the Democrats will do this any more than the ltepublicans) Since the days of Jeflerson and since the teachings of Andrew duckson the Democratfe party bas been the party of ccono- my, and has’ always scrutinized ¢ clum against the” Natio Treasury with excceding care.
