WASHINGTON, October 15.-Among the President's prominent visitors to-day was Governor Fletcher, of Missouri, who arrived in the city yesterday. In conversation with several prominent administration men outside the portal of the White House, he confidentially gave the electoral vote of Missouri to Grant by 20,000 majority. He does not think that the German Republican deflection will be large enough to make any decided impression on the canvass, while he claims seventy-five per cent of the large emigration to Missouri since the last presidential election to the Republicans.
