Morton and Logan In the Senate are as pestiferous as Butler in the House. The New York Herald of the 24th lost., In speculating upon the possi bilities as to the Cabinets of the re spective candidates tor the Presi dency, puts dowu tho names of Gon. Gordon and Hon. L. Q> 0. Lamar, from the South, in Tildon’s Cabinet. A special from Indianapolis, 26th, to the Cincinnati Enquirer reports an interview with Gov. Hondricks in reference to Gov. Tllden’s late letter on Sou* hern claims. Gov. Hen dricks said: “I fully ooncur in the views expressed by Governor Tllden in his letter which appeared yester day. His views were admirably ex pressed, and lam gratified that an opportunity was presented to make his opinions on that subject public. I think his letter will be very satis factory to the people of the oountry and prevent the public mind from being misled.” :i -'" The Washington Chronicle (oue of the Administration organs at the cap ital), speaking of the composition of the next House of Representatives, says; "Ben Hill will be back from Georgia, and we doubt whether uoy muzzle can be found strong enough to keep him silent. Little Hunset, we fear, will be as noisy and impu dent as before, and neither the pol ished eloquence, the graceful rheto ric, nor the poetical patriotism of Garfield, nor the refined wit of Hurl but, will avail much against them. To meet such men as these we want the trenchant blade of Ben Butler’s tongue-no courtly, dainty rapier. Ben Butler, and he nlone of all the loyal politicians, can cope with Ben Hill. Pit them against each other in the House and it will be such a duel as has never before been fought on that historic floor.” The New Orleans Democrat has had some very good cartoons illustrating events or features of the political campaign; they are not coarse cari catures, doing violence to truth and decency, like Harper’s, but excellent and truthful hits at men and things as they are. One of its best, pub lished last week, was designed to Illustrate tho kind of reform which may be expected of Hayes’ adminis tration with Republican advisers and supporters. It represented a huge serpent in the act of casting its skin; tho portion of, the skin shuffled off was marked "Grant,” and the part •merging newly clothed was labelled "Hayes.” The Democrat, explaining it, said; “If Mr. Hayes is elected, the BSme men who have controlled the Administration during the past eight years will continue in power; the serpent will only shed the old and worthless skin of Grautism for the fresher stales of Hayesism, but It will be the same venomous reptile which has buried Its deadly fangs in constitutionalism, and breathed its veuorn upon the beauty and prosper ity of the South.” ■— Mh* — . IWL ULtUKF.'N VALEDICTORY. In the Atlanta Constitution of Sun day, Cot. E. Y. Clarke, who has late ly sold his interest in that paper, takes formal leave of its readers. We have already, In anticipation of this event, expressed our estimation of Col. Clarke as an editor and a gentle man, and of his labors to advance the standard of Georgia journalism. We find in his valedictory a para graph which we especially commend, though we hope that the reform which it suggests will be effected by the good sense of journalists them selves, and not by any legal regula tions. Col. Clarke says; “An outrage ami ouroe upon society Is that irresponsible journalism which tram ples upon Individual Toolings and defames personal character at Its will. Against such Journalism, destroying reputation and business without scruple, the severest laws should be enacted to secure its ac countability. I have endeavored to dis cuss men and measures without passion, prejudice or enmity, conscientiously striv ing to do the right without traduction of personal character or damage to individ ual business. To this end I have held myself promptly responsible for every thing appearing in the Omattfutton, what ever its source, ever honestly seeking to repair wrong, or suffering the conse quences without evasion. Ido not believe In personal journalism. A paper, which is known only as the mouth-piece of its editor or any particular set, ring or com bination of men, dwindles its power into eomparative Insignliicanoe. What l mean Is that there should always be, somewhere or somehow, certain responsibility for newspaper conduct: and against unbri dled, Incendiary and irresponsible journal ism, too prevalent at this day, society should be protected by adequate law, which the courts should be bound to rig idly enforce.” Marshal Bazaink is living in Spain. He is penniless, and his wife’s fortune was swallowed up in payment of the cost of his prosecution. The French Govern ment exacted the last cent, and the offi cer* even seized hit pantaloons and sold them. That is too bad; but then so long as Dr. Vary Walker wears her pantloons jo peace, we are not disposed to regard i liberty extinct in this world.— Ex. PRESIDENTIAL CALCULATIONS. It Is now only one week to tho Pres idential election, and politicians are figuring ludusttiouaijr—the Radicals desperately. The latter find It im possible to calculate a reasonable Bftajdrlty far Hayes without counting for Mm Ifow York or jfndlana, or oiaiiHlng several Southern States Which they have no chance to carry. The following is an estimate which the New York Tribune and the Cin cinnati Commercial— both Hayes pa pers—concur in presenting: ITiTU CEMTAIM FOB TILDE*.

So that this calculation concedes the impos sibility of electing Hayes without New York or Indiana. The Nashville American presents eight estimates, all electing Tllden, by majorities ranging from 1 to 173. We cannot copy ail its tables, but give the first or closest one, with a statement of the changes made in the others; TILL KM, hater. (southern.) (northern.) Alabama 10 Colorado i. 3 Arkansas. 6 Maine 7 Delaware 8 Massachusetts 13 Georgia 11 New Hampshire 0 Kentucky... 13 Vermont 5 Maryland...... 8 Rhode Island 4 Mi550uri............ 15 Pennsylvania 39 North Carolina 10 0hi0...; 33 Tennessee 11 Illinois 31 Texas 8 lowa 11 Virginia 13 Michigan 1.. 11 West Virginia 6 Minnesota 5 (NORTHERN.)

California 6 Florida 4 Oregon 3 South Carolina 7 Louisiana......* 8 Total 185 Mississippi 8 Total 184 Tilden's Majority, 1. Tho American says that table 1 con cedes the power of bayonets and the turbulence which the Republican party is endeavoring to foment in four Southern States, and places 27 Electoral votes from the South iu the Hayes column. It concedes, also, Wisconsin with 10 votes—a very doubtful Northern State. Every State placed in the Tllden oolumn is a Democratic State now, and we ex pect confidently to hold them all. This table makes an exceedingly close contest, giving Mr. Tllden but one majority. Table 2 changes tho position of but one State—Florida—and nearly all the calculations from both parties concede that to Tilden. By this table Tilden has a majority of 9. Table 3 transfers California and Oregon, with 9 votes, to the Hayes column, and Louisiana and Missis sippi, with 16 votes, to the Tllden column. By this table, Tilden has 23 majority. California, by some cal culations, is regarded doubtful, but we regard Oregon as certain for the Democracy. Table 4 reinstates California and Oregon lathe Tildea column, making his major icy 41. Table 5 carries South Carolina, in spite of the bayonets, for Tilden, and with the aid of the large German re form vote of Wisconsin, gives him her 10 votes alsot By this table Til den’s majority is 75 votes. Table 6 claims Michigan and Ne vada, with 14 votes; the latter we think quite probable for Tilden; the former, we fear, is not divorced from her idols, but the suit is in active pro gress. This table would carry the result to 103 majority—a point at which the proceedings would not interest Gov. Hayes later than 10 p. m. of the election day. Table 7, under the lead of Charles Francis Adams, and by reason of the Republican domestic jar, fomented by that artful and irrepressible old harridan—the Widow Butler—carries Massachusetts to tho Tilden column, and 129 majority begins to make one’s head swim. Table 8 makes Ohio the Republican Waterloo, and it Is annexed to the Tilden column for several reasons. It gave a meagre majority for Hayes (for the October election was merely a trial of his strength.) a few weeks since; the Temperance vote, 10,000, which went to Barnes, will now go to the Presidential Prohibition candi dates, the Vice Presidential nominee being a citizen of Ohio; the German Tilden Reformers will come to the front in November also. And, be sides, the State is flanked east and west by West Virginia and ludiana, and will have the force of good ex amples on all sides. In this connection it mav best to take some notice of the “Greenback” organization, headed by Cooper and Carey, which may possibly disturb the calculations of politicians of oth er parties, especially as regards a few Western States. We hope that these disturbances will operate to the ad vantage of the Democrats, but of course we cannot tell. The New York Heraid reports an interview with Mesers. Cooper and Carey, in which the|latter stated that “the Greenback or Independent party have Electoral tickets in ths following States: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachu setts, Rhode Island, Illinois, lowa, Michigan, Kansas, Missouri, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentuokv and Arkan sas. In some of these States full tickets for State and oounty officers have been nominated. In the greater number of instances the candidates for Congress of the two great par ties bavo been Indorsed by the Green back men.” This statement, it will be noted, makes no mention of a Greenback Electoral ticket in India na. The absence of an Electoral ticket of that party there turns loose about fifteen thousand Independents who lately voted the Greenback tick et for State and county officers in In diana, and we cannot with any cer tainty say how they or a majority 01. them will vote as between Tilden and Hayes. Gen. Carey also expressed tho opinion that “In Pennsylvania and Illinois the Independents will poll a larger vote proportionately than in any other States lathe Union. Tho organization is more perfect there, and in the Keystone Commonwealth the Junior Sons of ’7O (whose object is currency reform) and similar bodies will bring out a heavy vote. In Illi nois the Grangers and Greenback Clubs will have In operation an ef fective system of machinery on the 7th of November.” If this be so, both these great States must be con sidered doubtful until we see from which of the two great parties the bulk of their Independent vote is taken. Mr. Cooper, in the same interview, said that "late intelligence was to tho effect that he would carry one or more States in November”—which makes us believe that some design ing politicians have been expe perimentiDg on the credulity of the honest old gentleman. MIHMIMHIPPI. - .. ——-■■■ ♦- ■ ... ■■■„ . A Plot to Overrua Her too With Fed eral Troops. Gov. Stone having received infor mation that representations had been made to Attorney General Taft of the prevalence of violence and disorder in Mississippi, addressed a commu nication to the latter, asking to be in formed of tho localities in which such a state of affairs existed. We copy the correspondence which followed, which shows that the Attorney Gen eral quibbles and evades, so as to avoid giving an answer which would lead to the exposure of the falsehood of his information: Acting Attorney General S. F. Phil lips, under date of Washington, Oc tober 6, alluding to Gov. Stone’s dis patch asking names, dates and places of the alleged outrages in Mississip pi, as reported to tho Department of Justice, replies: “In tho absence of the Attorney General, thus much of the telegram requires an answer from me. I make no question as to tho sincerity of your assertion of a disposition to suppress violence in Mississippi. But is it not an inadvertency to sup pose that the Attorney General of the United States holds any such re lation to the Governor of a State as renders it proper for him to make an official communication of the nature indicated above? Upon considera tion, it appears to me that there is no such relation between the two offices.” This dispatch has called forth the following from the Governor of Mis sissippi. We quote from the Clarion of the 24th: Executive Department, Jackson, Miss., Oct. 10, 1870.-Hon. S. F. Phil lips, Acting Attorney General, Wash ington, D. o.—Sir: Your communica tion of the 6th inst. was received by to-day’s mail. My telegram of the 4th was not addressed to “The Attorney Gen eral,” but to “Attorney General Taft," the mention of his official po sition being intended maiuly as de scriplio personae. Still, as he had condemned Mississippi upon reports made to him as Attorney General, I must confess I did not regard “the ?;entleman holding that office as act ng” altogether “unofficially, and in his capacity as a private citizen.” And as he gave to those reports, which only became known to him in his official capacity, an importance which they would not have possessed otherwise, I did not sup pose he would refuse my request for information upon the ground that he was “acting unofficially, and in his caoacity as a private citizen.” Nor do I yet think so, but trust he will recognize the fairness of my respect ful request of the 4th. It may be “an inadvertency to sup pose that the Attorney General of the United States holds any suoh rela tion to the Governor of a State as ren ders it proper for him to make an of llcial communication of the nature” requested in my telegram. In my desire to obtain the information asked, I never gave a thought as to whether there does or does not exist any such relation. There can cer tainly be nothing Improper or undig nified even in an “official communi cation ;” but Mr. Taft may exercise his pleasure, and give the informa tion in any way he may think proper. I shall be satisfied if, “acting unoffi cially, and in his capacity as a pri vate citizen,” he would give the in formation (even in his public speeches. All I wish is the names, date and places of.alleged outrages,because, as Governor of Mississippi, I am able to execute the law, and am determined to do so. I have no preference as to the mode Mr. Taft may select, should he be kind enough, in any capacity, to comply with my request. I nm not willing to think Mr. T. would do injustice to Mississippi, and refuse to correct the wrong, either because he did the Injustice “unofficially, and in his capacity asA private citizen,” or because it is "inadvertency to sup pose the Attorney General of the United States holds any such rela tion to the Governor of a State as renders it properifor him to make an official communication,’’which might place in the power of the Governor to prove that injustice had been done his State; that charges had been made for political effect, and that a high official “aoting unofficially,” had condemned neither justly nor advisedly. You say you “make no question as to the sincerity of my assertion of a disposition to suppress violence in Mississippi.” In that sentence you dome injustice, evidently uninten tionally. I used noexpression in my telegram which could lead you to in fer that violence exists in Mississip pi. I asserted that Mississippi is quiet and orderly, and that I am both wil ling and enable to execute the laws, and conserve the public peace. The object was to ascertain the informa tion upon which Mr. Taft bases his charge that violence does exist in this State, This is not designed as an "official communication” to the Department of Justice. I shall be grateful, though, for the information asked on the 4th, no matter by whom, or In what mode furnished. I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient seryant, J. M. Stone, Governor of Mississippi. Charley Ross.—The Cincinnati En quirer of Friday publishes the folow ing communication without com ment. It will be Been that it has no signature, bat we can hardly believe that the Enquirer would trifle with the feelings of the relatives of the child by publishing such a statement, unless it had assurances that it was made in good faith by parties who could be found: Editor Cincinnati Enquirer .—I have no 'ticeci several Items In your paper in re gard to the Charley Rose ease.

I had no hand in the taking of the child. * A correspondent of the Nation, who says that a month ago he waß certain he would vote tor Hayes, is startled by the faot that he is strongly in clined to reverse that decision, not withstanding he scarcely ever sees a paper that docs not favor Hayes. The financial issue seems to have dropped out of the campaign, and on tho great question of reform he finds the difference between the two can didates just this: “Hayes, we are sure, desires reform—the question is, ‘Has he the power?’ Tilden, we know, has the power—tho question is, ‘Has he tho will ?’ ” Putting the the thing in this way, this conscien tious Republican confesses that he feels surer of Tilden’s "will” than of Hayes’ “can.” Ho sees Butler and Blaine leaders in the-Republican par ty, with Schurz and Bristow on the back seats, and he can’t help think ing as it is now, it will be.
