Declination of an Assembly Candidate. Mr. Edward D.

Woods will centainly be returned to the Assembly, there being no opposition of moment in the fleld against him, KINGS COUNTY POLITICS, The Names of the Democratic and Repabli- cau Cadidates, ‘The candidates for city and county offices are look- ing forward with considerable anxiety to the result of the election to-morrow, and not a few have high hopes of being elected. The campaign has been an exciting one, and politicians and stump orators have during the past two months said all the hard things of each other they could turn their tongues to; but the time for foolish boasting and slandering has gone by, and the remaining hours will be devoted to the arrangements for the election, manning the polls, &c, At the last hour the leaders of the inde- pendent democratic organizations got together and counted “noses,” for there was nothing else to count, the candidates nominated by them having failed to hand over their assessments. There was one exception, however. Colonel Kobert Johnson paid in5$400, which still remains to his credit. It costs from $12,000 to $15,000 to map the polls, and it was impossible for the independents to raise this sum, It is needless to say that soine of the candidates were men whom the ring had ignored, and men not much pleased at the turn of affairs. It would have been @ Ratisfaction to some, even if they could not have been elected themselves, to have:thrown the election into the hands of the repubiicans. A few of the inde- pendent candidates have determined to remain in the race notwithstanding the withdrawal of the ticket, und we therefore give the ticket, with those of the democratic and republican.

MISCELLANEOUS POLITICAL NEWS, Letter from General Butler on General Graat, Bay View, Sean LANRSVILL®, Mass, Augnst 25, 1867.

But what will you do?—you canpot get tt or ah ing else concerning Grant that is nét laudatory published. | Aud why? Because both sides are courting him for the Presidency, aud so the trath mast got be told. We are, I fear, to try the experiment again that we did with Jobnson—i. ¢., nominate @ man for sup- posed availability without knowing his princi; or fitness, Grant's election will be @ misfoytui because it Will put in a man without a bead ofheart; indifferent to human suffering and impotent Ber ern.

SALEM, Oot, 50, 1868, J. RIDPATRIOK, Volitiea! Notes. A colored speaker at a meeting 19 Savannah re- cently Kaidi— "We will be peaceable, law-abiding | eitizeus if we may, but develieu, Nghting, burping cltizens if we must.” This game speaker & little before had boasted of the impunity which his race enjoyed in Chatham county, where they could as- semble in the public squares, say what they pleased and vote as they pleased; but he did not know whether to attribute the forbearance of white people to the solicitude of their heads or their pockets, General Forrest challenges General Kilpatrick to meet him in mortal combat, and Kilpatrick chal- lenges General Butler to meet him and General Gor- don in mortal debate on Salem Common, The pun- ishment in elther case will no doubt be severe, bat in the latter event the spectators are likely to be the heaviest sufferers, Hon. Harvey Jewel! has been renominated for the Massachusetis Assembly from Ward No. 6, Boston. He was the Speaker of the last House. Charles V. Lewis is the regular Union Republican and workingmen's candidate from the Fourth (city) district. STANTON. Speech ef the Ex-Secretary of War at Phila- delphia—Seymour and the Famous De- spatches Thanking Him for Troops. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 1, 1868, Tn the course of Mr, Stanton's speech last night he said:— - ‘The War Department bought, the War Department hired or begged the use of vessels and transports for troops, and it is the glory and honor of the besi- ness men’ of the conniry that they refused not to lend every assistance in their power to further these efforts, Mr. Seymour in his speeches, however, has brought reproach upon wus glory and honor—upon the Merchants of Phitadelphia who aided the war forthe suppreasion of the rebellion, Thus denun- ciation of the war expenditures and the extrava- gance of the republican party makes the constant burden of Mr. Seymour's speeches, oniy that he varies the — tune litte to suit the people of various localities. When he got into Sciota valley the other day he put down his face and talked to the farmers about the low price of corn and flour, At Pittsburg he taiked about the wages for labor. At Philadelphia he got ata smaller point, because he next talked about the Secretary of War. (Laughter,) He. sald in ts Reading speech that tho War Department has had a great Per war vessels, although he always thought this was the business of the Navy Department, and would like to know how much money was paid for Ihe vessels and wio got the money. Ladies and gentlemen—You know that the Presi- dent of the United States is Commander-in-Chief of the army and navy. You know that the man who would command your army and navy ought, at least to have a knowledge of the provinces of the dif- ferent departments of the government, if he was as orant as Seymour in everything else. (Laughter) And now behold Seymour declares that he a.ways thought the hiring of transports be- longed to the Navy Department. Behold the igno- rance of this man! Wade Hampton or Forrest or Preston or any man in the rebel army would blush with shame to hear his candidate say that he thought the hiring or chartering of transports be- longed to the navy. (Laughiter.) It is the business of the War, Department; it is the business of the Quartermaster, as an officer of the government who lias the moving of troops under his control, to move them either by railroads, sta: wagons, steam- boats or ships. Seven hundred were chartered by Meade to move his army, and behold Horatio Sey- mour, within about five days of the Presidential election, deciaring that he would be the next Com- mander-in-Chief of the army and navy, and always supposed it the business of Gideon Wells to transport the army. (Laughter.) How great is the ignorance of this man in relation to affairs military and navall and yet this man his party would elect as the next Commander-in-Chiei. (Laughter.) He said, farther, he would like to Know how much was paid for ves- sels and who got the money, That Is a point. (Langhter.) He wants to know who has cheese, (Renewed laughter.) He professes to be in most pro- found ignorance upon the subject. Now, ladies and gentlemen and fellow citizens, would you believe that this man, this very nan, has had an account of this money expended for tie purchase of the trans. ports, their charter, their subsistence. He has really the most accurate information on this point, and yet, although he knows the figures and who received the money, a8 well as the purposes for which the same Was expended, he charges the republican party rae having spent all and charges them with extrava- ance. Mr. Stanton then dwelt at length upon the often quoted despatches sent from himself to Governor Seymour about time the rebels were invading the State of Pennsylvania, thanking bim for his prompt sending on of the troops, and asserted that these de- spatches amounted to nothing; that the very fact that they were sent to Seymour alone should be suf jiclent to remove all their significance. In reply to the question put by Governor Tod, of Ohio, about that time in relation to the sending of despatches, asking why they had not also been sent to other and loyal governors, but solely to a copperhead Governor, it was answered that “they did uot need them.,”? Seymour depends for his loyalty upon these’ despatches: emanatin, trom Secretary Stanton, aud yet is constantly in his speeches censuring the Secretary, who, on that point al least, Nas proven his best friend. That Seymour was only compelled by circumstances to supply the troops he sent, and that he was not in hearty and loyal accord with the government wheu he did #0, is made manifest by his being at the head of the draft riots in New York city only a few days acer. Alter making an cloquent peroration, in which he advised his hearers to vote for Grant on next Tues- day as the only salvation of the country, and depre- caling the election of Seymour, the ‘inal sentence was with reference to the democratic triumph at the polis—May great God Almighty avert that ty! As he resumed bis seat he waa rapturo. applauded. | BEN BUTLER. ‘The Pusilinde Between Butler and Kilpatrick | in MassachusetisTerrific Charges inde by | Both the Famous Generale—Kilpatrick Chal lenges Butler race to Face. .

Information Since obtained leaves little doubt that the insurrec- tion is one of considerable strength and ied by par- ties Whose aim is the independence of Cuba, The advices from Cuba state that the leader is a Domint+ can; but this, perhaps, is erroneous, as Iam in- formed the head of tue movement is a Venezuelan, Who, however, resided in St. Domingo and Mexico for @ long time. ‘There are people here who Profess to know all about the movement, but who express surprise that it hes gone 8o far, considering the fact that the revolution in Spain has been effected 0 quietly and bloodiessly. They expect shortly to hear very startling develop- ments from the Ever faithful Isle, either In the shape of the expulsion of Lersundi or the sudden abandon- ment of theentire project. If the insurrection last muchlonger they believe it will assume prop. ons that will astound the Captain General and compel him to pack up his traps and retire. There are clements that favored the conspiracy originally that have not yet been drawn into active operation for various reasons, the principal ones being that the programme mapped out atslirst has not been strictly adliered to, and that leading parties outside Cuba have not been heard from, When full communication takes place between these parties either the movewient wul be entirely abandoned or it will suddenly become of such magnitude as to overwie¢lm Ute constituted authorities in Cuba. The Proposed Remoyal of General It bas been asserted by certain men who ¢ be pretty well informed about what trans) White House that there is a fair indication that General Reynolds, who is just now making himself highly acceptable to the radical republicans as com- mander of the Fifth Military District, Texas, will have another fleld of duty assigned him, where legat talent wiil be less in demand than military expe- rience, and that it bas been seriously considered whetber or not the people of Texas would not recon- struct a good deal faster without the assistance of General Reynolds. Although there are some grounds for these statements, It is not believed by those who are best informed that General Reynolds wiil be re- Meved. The several orders recently issued by this miljtafy commander have certainly found no favor in the estimation of President Johnson, who is greatly incensed at his autocratic display of authority. Itis doubtless] true that the President has given some thought to the suggestions that have recently been made to relieve the General of the weighty responsi- bilities that rest upon him; but judging from ail that has been ascertained in the matter it is scarcely propable that the order will be issued—at least itmay safely be said that the President has not yet decided to make any change. Incase a change should be resolved upon it is sald that General A. C. Gilem or General C, Buchanan will be selected to command the Filth Military District.
