A n.ore provcaita loins seldom happeni-d bj greet minister 01 nnanct' ID tne midst 01 his career. We do not know prr-i-i-o-riy bow Mr. Richardson pro-po-ed 10 resume specie itaymenui or to git this into the hand of the people without their knowledge. Nobody knows.

Richardson's arrangements for juat such a perfonuance were pertoct had they not been interfered with by tha unlimely enterprise of the newspapers.

Drawings like these have a certain aptness and catching quality, epeciaiiy when tacked on to loud riuging poiiUca! cry. But they belong- te the season, like the autsuin weeds which die witti snow. Art like this has false qualities, and in as in sil things, fiilseiiood is death. We think Mr.

Childs; "Grand Army," quickstep for piano, F. M. Davis Cupid, mazourka, TV illiam Cramer. Ole Bull and Dan Bryant crossed in the same steamer. A concert was gotten up for the benefit of some sick sailors, and Dan was aked to do something.

Dan proposed Shoo Fly, if an accompanist could be found. Ole Bull volunteered, and Dan Bry ant danced "Shoo Fly" while Ole Bull played it. This is the way the pretty eyes of Miss Neilson hurt a Philadelphia writer: "Robbed of her youth and loveliness, Adelaide Neilson would still be a great and glorious actress Like the roses before the shrine of Aphro dite her beauty is but a heath, a fragrance, a delight, before the unfading image of her noble and imperishable art. Ah The latest vehicle of MissLotta's vivacity is called Zip, and in Baltimore it is not thought to be a work of high art, because. aa tbe American suggests, A play in which a fashionable lady picks the banjo to enter tain her friend at a lawn party, and who amuses herself by dancing a breakdown with a footman in her own parlor, may be fairly- considered a somewhat extraordinary pro duction of even the modern stage.

John F. Potter, of Roger Pryor bowie- knife fame, is a candidate for the Wisconsin state senate on the liberal Democratic ticket. John T. Clark is the latest candidate named for mayor of Boston. He is one of the city aldermen, and, as usual, the oiBce seeks him.

The Indianapolis Journal is suspected of a desire to have Speaker Blaine laid on the shelf. Being the home organ of Senator Morton, this is considered ungenerous, be cause Blaine and Morton are supposed to be rivals for the presidency. It is reported that George H. Pendleton will compete with Senator Thurman for the next senatorship from Ohio. As Mr.

Thurman 'a candidacy was one of the strongest points tn the late canvass, this would have little effect. Mr, Thur man's re-election seems to be assured. Even the prohibitiouist' ticket In Ohio ran ahead of the new party tn most of the counties. The Cincinnati Gazette thereupon suggest that perfaap it was the prohibition I -arty that certain editor referred to when tbey talked about a movement that wa to begin this year, and was to "smash thin 's in 1373. Governor Hendrike of Indiana is tbe oom-ii mark of the western wit now.

He thought be wa shrewd not to take a part in the apparently hopeless Democratic eanvas of Ohio. The latest suggestion is that be be allowed to carry a torch at the proposed jubilee on the occasion of Governor Aihsn's inauguration. The unirust worthiness of election returns is sometimes responsible for premature eom-pUment. Mr. Dougherty, the Democratic candidate for attorney-general in Ohio, wa positively reported to be elected for several days.

Those day were full of honor to him. Be has done well ia having hi iei ability widely advertised. The Cincinnati Commercial name a tivket for Wtf: 'For president, Jo. Haw-ley. It thinks that the abbreviation "Jo." ha strength in it, a "Old Abe" had.

Interfered, with business, and a diminution of business lessen the demand for work. any actorie have been closed, and thousands are oat of employment.

And we have not yet reached the beginning of a long, cold winter. It is a sorry outlook. The shall bot has already manufactured the first snow-ball of the season, and for some time to come will carefully fnspsot tbe water in tbe pitcher to see it there's ice there, and give minute attention to the inevitable skate. We have had, in point of fact, the first snow-flurry, and a very respectable flurry it was. ark Tou in the Philadelphia Ledger of little Jane, "Who WeltiexiM evetTs elfwed her eves And pranced sirs, irdas," Little Jane evidently forgot her grandmother's injunction to be decorous, else she would not have started off in that ridiculous manner.

A juror in Stokes case, if we may believe a telegram from New York, has declared that he will never consent to the hanging of Btokes. The story is doubtful but it will be remarkable if, after the able defence of Stokes by bis counsel and the unavoidable sympathy for him that has been created by bis long imprisonment, he is not aequittedor merely held under another disagreement of the jury. A Brookutt jcrok, after remaining in his seat during tbe taking of a large volume of evidence, casually remarked to a fellow-juror, Tuesday morning, that be would never conf ent to a verdict, as he was stone-deaf and had no evidence whereon to base a conclusion. The telegraph gives us this information but it altogether fails to give U3 the maus name. We insist that the name belong? to the public, and call for it with a loud voice and exceeding earnestoeas.

The CBLtASEX at North Adams learned very rapidly how to make shoes; but they have not yet learned the necessity of peaceably submitting to arrest. Th shops in vifcli tbey were employed were closed the other day, and a mild riot was tbe result and when one of tbeir number was arrested they made frantic though unsuccessful efforts to rescue him. John bad better be a little careful or he will find himself banished to California, where it is generally hekl that he has no rights whatever. Mrs. Woodhct.1.

has been invited to deliver an address before the Radical club of Boston. The Radical club is not extremely radical that is to say, it is never too radical to be painfully decorous and its recognition of Mrs. Woodbull is all the more significant aud valuable to the lady for that reason. More, the Springfield Republican has a good word for Mrs. Woodhull, calling upon her to speak out her social theories and merely enjoining upon her the necessity of dropping the Beecher business.

TrrrsnLLx haa had one of those popular accidental tragedies. Little Johnny Newton took down his father's gun, wbich had been carefully loaded and left within his reach, and pointed it at hi sister Ella, aged seventeen. The young lady remarked carelessly, "Think you're smart, don't you!" and Jobnny pulled the trigger. The charge entered tbe young lady 's side and she died ia a few moments. Of course, neither Mr.

Wheaton nor Johnny is guilty of more than ordinary carelessness, and in fact a coroner's jury has already found that to be the case. A convict in Sing Sing prison robbsd a fellow convict, and the latter exposed him to the prison authorities. He was punished; but he had his revenge, for he turned upon the victim of his plunder and murdered him. We do not know whether tbe murdered man has relatives; but if he ha3 they ougbt to have a very good case against the state. If a man's life is in danger in Sing Sing prison, he ought to be given his liberty, that he might have opportunity to run away and save himself.

And if he cannot be protected in prison there is certainly a very heavy responsibility somewhere. Edward Jexkt.xs, in his address before the Young Men's Christian association of New York, last Saturday, spoke of the duties of Christians as citizens, and declared very emphatically that it was aa much a duty to attend a ward-meeting as a prayer-meeting. And so it is, for the ward-meeting is greater than the nominating convention, greater than tbe ballot-box itself, since it virtually controls both of those excellent ntitntima and there is no more important step toward virtue and purity than the election of good men to ftice. We beg our readers to look once more over the names presented on our excellent ticket, and think of this thing. STxrESTra Franklw Wilson declares him self to be the young lunatic (twenty-two years of age) who is a friend of the earning dictator, and who prophesies that before another decade has passed over thi3 country George Francis Train will be the president of the United States; and all the power.and opposition on earth cannot prevent it.

Sylvester declares that George Franeia predicted the panic and the yellow fever which is now afflicting Memphis; but we don't know that these predictions are any evidence of greatness. To tell the truth, if we couldn't predict anything better, we wouldn't predict at all. Jcdge Nkii-sow of Brooklyn haa decided that the death of ex-Mayor puts an end to the proceedings of Mary Frances Wade against him for breach ef promise. Tbe point of the decision is that a promise of marriage is a civil contract, and a repudiation of that promise is, therefore, a breach of contract. Being personally liable, and no more, the individual breaking the contract can be mulcted in damages.

But there being no actual injury of person on the part of the plaintiff, her suit cannot follow the survival by his estate of the deceased defendant. It seems to us that this decision will not be sustained by aa appeal but it will be a matter for congratulation if the case is closed. A vebt excellent joke was recently perpetrated by the Democrats of Oil City, Pa. The Republicans had nominated to the city council a colored man named Miles Green, and the Democrats voted and worked for him, just for the fun of the thing, but to such good effect that he ran away ahead of his ticket. Since then the mayor has resigned to accept the county-treasurership; and now it is discovered that the city charter provide that, in ease of a vacancy, the councilman having the most vote at the election shall become the chief That councilman is Muea Green and it is a painful question among the Democrats of the locality whether they haven't carried the joke too far.

Thk MTSTtBT or Euwui Dkood, complete tbe first part by Charles Dickens in the Beth and the remaining portion assuming to be by Charles Dickens in the spirit, through the mediumship of Thomas P. James has been issued from the press of Clark W. Bryan Co. of Springfield, Maa. It is a volume of 612 ample pages, aud the interest attaching to it because of the manner of its production wiH doubtless give it alargasaler We have already noticed the work at considerable length, and have merely time to-day to present the following paragraph, from the Spring field Union, at to some singular proceeding in the work of proof-readoig: The personage ho haa corrected the praof-shtet of book, whoever or whatever he iuy be, baa persistently kept out of sialic iSy coming to Sprmgtieid and reading ttie proof a fas a tbey were ready, Mr.

The assumption that Mr.

Jatoea had the assistance ef some maa of anility behiud the scene ha been presented several times, and ha been flatly eobtradk-ted by tome of the best men in lirl Mxjro tiien who aie not sptriMiaiigt, who think they are cognisant at all the important facts trading to the production cf this book, and wtte have taken the ul-xuost pain to discover Mr. Jamas' great notice was (riven that bids or proposal would be received for tbe doing of said work. Thst divers bids were made, and said work was warded to said Skinner as the lowest bidder. That prior to said contract and said bid ding, a notice was issued to persons who intended to bid for said work, specifying tbe work to tie dnne, and specifying certain terms and conditions tuereof. That said no tice was attached to said contract as made and entered into as a part thereof, and that the same is a part and oarrrel of said con tract.

That among otber things ssid notice coTstsinea tne following clause: It is expressly understood and agreed that the party, or parties of the first part are to pei form au tbe conditions of bis or tbeir contract, for the price and compensation therein specified, without any further claim for compensation from tne contractor of canal repairs, or from the state, in default of such compensation by said contractor. And the plaintiff Jurtlutr say, tliat after the txenitiort of said contract, and afmut Vie thrv. of its mnkifij, it tea ASSIGNED BY SAID SKINNER TO THE DEFENDANT GEORGE 1. LORD, and that said Lour has entered upon said work, and partly completed the tame. That, on or about the 5lh day of 1871, and after the assignment of said enntract to said Lord, the canal hoard changed the plan of said work so as to provide, for the widening as well as the deepening of said narrow canal.

That assent of th canal board to said change of plan was nude at a meeting thereof, on September ft, 1K1, at which meeting the state engineer and surveyor was present, aud st which a written statement setmu forth the objects to be obtained by said ehamres, and the expense thereof was submitted to said tn.ard. That said work on the changed plsn wa3 to lie done as agreed by the parties thereto, at the original contract prices so far as the same were appliable, and at csrtaio estimated prices for such kinds of work as were not required by the original contract, and for thst rteson had no prices therein fixed therefor. This at said Lord, on or about said September 5, 1171, assented to said ebaneed plan, and agreed as aforesaid to do said work on said changed plau, at the prices in tbeoririo-al contract so f-r as applicable, and at said ettiir ated prices fur the balance of said work. Ana tne lammis lurxner say, tnat said i r.1 w. ht fii .1 ll Mjaiil "w.irtr uruli-p il I modified contract, aud as said changed plan uniil on or about ttie Ctti dy of Atisnsx, lSi2, and that upon said last-mentioned diy ths caual hoard, upon the application of said Loro, canceled and annulled said contract and released him from the further performance thereof.

And the pbiiutiffs further say, tht, on the 10th day of Mav, lW, the of the State of New York passed an act, or pretended, act being act chapter 740 of the laws of 7J, entitled "an act in relation to completing certain work in Black Rock harbor, and at Lower Black Rock, Buffalo, which act is hereby refered to as to contents thereof, and cf wbich schedule hereunto annexed is a copy. That said act, relates to the same work which was provided to be done by the above-mentioned contract. That it appears from tbe authorised volume of the statutes of 1372, and by the certificates of tlie president of the senate, and the speaker of the assembly, that said law, or pretended law, is void, as not having received the assent of two-thirds of tbe lumbers elected to each branch of the legislature. Aud the plaintiffs further say, that the said law or pretended law is a private bill and also a local bill, and that the subject thereof is not tbe completion of any work whatsoever, but is the relief of certain contractors, by paying them additional compensation for the work mentioned in said law; and that said subject is cot expressed in the title cf said bill, and that said bill is anconstitu-tional and void.

And the plaintiffs say that they are Informed and believe that the defendant, George D. Lord, is the contractor or the assignee of tbe contractor; also, has the contract for the construction of the piece of work mentioned in said act, chapter 7) of the laws of 1372. other than the work of deepeoioG; and improving the narrow canal iu Black Rock harbor, to wit; The work of cutting off tbe bend or projection in tow-path guard-lock section at Lower Black Rock, and tbe work of cleaning out the mouth of the mill-race leading from harbor at Lower Black rtoclc to milis of Thornton, Cummiogs'and others; and that said Lord is the person en' i tied to receive compensation for said work And the plaintiffs further say that said bill is void, on tbe ground that is in conflict with tbe last clause of section 3 of article 7 of the constitution of the state of New York and tbe plaintiffs say that they are informed and believe, and charge the fact to be that said defendants, Lord and Skinner, intend and tereaten to apply forthwith to said canal board to take action uuder said act, chapter 740 of the laws of 1S72, and to do the acts and things therein required and that the defendant, the canal board, threaten and intend to act forthwith under said law, and to do the things therein required of them: and that tbe doing of said acts by the defendants, pending their action, will produce injury to the plaintiffs and tend to reader the judgment herein ineffectual herefore the plaintiffs demand judgment that said law be declared to be unconstitutional and void and of no effect, and that said canal board and each and every member thereof be restrained and enjoined from proceeding under the same, and that the said canal board and every member thereof be restiamed from increasing or voting to increase the compensation fur the defendants. Lord and Skinner, and from paying said Lord and Bkinner or causing them any such increased compensation, or from raising their prices to be paid for any work mentioned in chapter 740 of the Uws of 1672: and that the defendants, Lord and Skinner, and each of them, be enjoined or restrained from applying to said canal board under said act, and from producing any testimony before said board, and from asking or receiving any compensation or increased prices under said act, or for any work therein mentioned; and that plaintiffs have a temporary injunction to restrain peidlng this action, the doing of all acts aga'inst the doing of which a permanent injunction is a-ked herein, and that the plaintiffs have such other and further relief as may be proper in tbe premises, and that the pltuiitilTs have tbeir costs herein Fbascis C.

That said contracting board was bound by law to receive bids, upon public notice, for tbe work in this complaint mentioned, and award a contract therefor to the lowest bidder therefor, who would give adequate security for the performance of said work. That prior to the -9'ih day of December. IWrL said contracting board hsd duly given public notice of a letting by contract to the lowest bidder or bidders who would give adequate security for the performance of said work, of the repairs for section number ten of the Erie canal for five years from January 1st. lSeil, under the regulations prescrioed by said board and in pursuance of act, chapter 105 of the laws of 1-57 and the laws ameudatory thereof. That by said notice the time of holding such letting was appointed for the -5th day of December, ls6o, and the place appointed was the office of the canal commissioners in the city of Albany, at which place sealed proposals for the said work and materials wei advertised to be received until la o'clock noon of said last mentioned day.

Tnat, on said December 28th, IsSO. a large number of persons attended at said place to bid for the above mentioned piece of work, who were competent and prepared to give adequate security for tne performance thereof. That several proposals were prepared for presentation to said board at fair rates and containing terms advantageous to the state, which rates were the fair value of said wor- and materials, and which bids weie much lower in amount than the pro- pofal cf the defendant Butler, as hereinafter alleged. That the persons, also, had thus nrepared proposals were able and were prepared to give adequate security for the erf oi mance of said work. the plaintiffs my, that the defendants conspirea, cmnointa ana conreaesaiea togtm-er.

Iu such eetnbinnli'on and couniracv.

the plaintiffs were deceived and defrauded, and damaged inalarye amount, as hereiruif 'U stated. That in pursuance of said combination and conspiracy, and as a part thereof, and with tbe intent to deceive and defraud the plaintiffs the defendants did assemble on the said December 'Jesth, 1866, before the hour at which said bids were to be put in before the said contraction board, and did organise a meeting. That at said meeting the defendants aud divers other persons uiu put up at auction among toe-m-selves tbe privilege of bidding for the work hereinbefore mentioned, and tlie right to control all the bids which were to be put in for said work. And it was agreed by the defendants and said otcer persons among themselves that the person who would pa the most for the sole privilege of bidding for said work and for the said bids, should re ceive said bids and control the same to the end, and with tbe intent that the person so paying the highest prioe should mutilate the saiu uius wiu pub in in iu as ucie inafter set forth. That all the de fendants were present at said meeting ana some oi mem maae oias tnereat, in tne manner and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth, and that some of them paid mouev in the said sale of their said bids, and that all of them, with tbe intent to defraud aud deceive the plaintiffs as hereinbefore and hereinafter stated, did join ana participate ia said meet in? and the fraudulent miniones thereof.

That, in pursuance of said conspiracy and combination, and as a part thereof, and as means or carrying out tne same, tne defendant Boxer, Lord. Mcdgett did w'th the in tent to deceive err defraud fte plaintiffs as hereinbefore atid hereinafter pay to.the aforesaid persons whoes names are unknown to the plaintiffs as above stated, divers large sums of money to induce them to withdraw from said bidding and competition, and to fail atd omit to put in said bids, and to omit to prepare any bids, and to surrender to said person so paying said money, said bids or proposals, and to give to said persons so paying said money, the control of said bids. That, in pursuance of said conspiracy and combination, and with intent to deceive and defraud the plaintiffs aa aforesaid, tbe said persons wnose names are to the plsintiTTa unknown, who had prepared such bids, did receive said money, and, in consideration thereof, did withdraw from said competition and biddiDg, and those who had prepared bids 1 as aforesaid, did omit and tail to put in tbeir said bids, and did surrender tne same to tne saiu uerenuants kctles, Lord akd Mcdoett. vith the intent that the said tnd stiould be defaced and tmitilated and put tn ait as is hereinafter set forth. That, after the said surrender of said bids.

the defendant did fraudulently mutilate and deface the said bids so surrendered as afore said, so as to renuer them defective and the al. That the defendants did therefore put ia before said contracting board, on said December mth. lMio. the said bid so mutilated and defaced, together with a bid for said ork in the name of the defendant Butler, as bidder, wherein the said Butler did propose to make said repairs on said section ten at the rate and for the compensation of 1 34, -(AM per annum. And the plamtiffs say that on or about the Slat of December, ls6 ui Butter axiriyited saia contract to me aejerutant atCDOxTT, ana Uiat said Hcdueit.

in takina said assign ment, acted as torll for the defendant ujtu as for himself, and that said Loud and said Mi'dgktt had full knotriedpe, at Vie time of of said assignment, of tin ft above stated, ciui of tlie traud by tcitich said contract, had been procured. That said contract has been performed and has expired by its own limitation, aud that said Lord and said Mudgett have received from the plaintiffs thereunder the sum of 1170.000. That, by said acts of the defendants, the plaintiffs were induced to enter into said contracts with said Butler. That each and every one of the defendant ha either paid money to procure tbe aforesaid suppression and mutilation of said bids, or baa received tbe mi.ney so paid to procure said suppression or mutilation, or has shared in the money so paid by tbe plaintiffs under said eon tract of said Butler, knowing that it was obtained by fraud as aforesaid. That (M per annum would have been and is a fair price for keeping in repair said section, and that the plaintiifs would have made a contract for that price had it not been for the aforesaid fraudulent acts of the defendant.

ThaU by reason of tbe aforesaid fraudulent acta of the defendant, tbe plaintiffs have been damaged in the sum of fi 000. for which sum, and costs of suit, they demand judgment against the defendants. ilUJCClSC. BiKlXlW, At torney-general. Plaintiffs' attorney.

Lord. lite plaintiffs by Francis C. Barlow, their auorcey-iietierial, eompJam of the defendants aud show to the oourt: That the defendants, the canal board, are a board of state offioers, created by law and kocated and required to perform the duties mentioned in act, chapter Jo of laws of 174, in the city vf Albany, ia the county of Albany. That on the 6th day of August, the plaintiffs entered into a contract with the defendant, Charles P. hk inner, for certain new work, to wit: the deepening and improving the narrow canal ta Black Rock harbor, in the city of Buffalo, in woich said contract said Skinner wa tbe party of the erst part.

That said work was by said contract to be performed by the conrVaetor at certain prices thoem 4-rciiie-i. 1HE WATER WORKS BOXIr. We have shown fully and so plainly that no one could fail to see, the illegal acts of the water commissioners in issue of bonds. JS'o de'ense can pos-dbly be made to the charges. The law is explicit, the course the commissioners is known and they are the exact contrary of each other.

Instead of going over the ground again in thirj'article, we append tlie statement of Aid. Rogers who made a cartful investigation of the subject. He says well and truthfully: Now, is regard to th city In relation to Uif-a" bond-H, it is shown be.voo'1 question that cs, 500, tjnn of bond have bmn fully execnted tbm alone is gross of the law d-le-gUtigvery jmDortant trust, and which law positively says that they shall mnie bands to amount not exew'iinjr t-te amount HHCXied in thirUuiato (whieti is 2L4 OOilt ttifly Kticht nnflouatedly have i.iUfl OM, -iski, jroi)l tbey had made their estimates land had them approved) to that amount, but they did not, and therefore thy are bound by thf ir entiroates as already made and, indeed, it would be interesting to know why tbey should want to uwue any more than tbeir estimates; surely tbey cannot already nve fijund out that their estimate are iar too low As to the matter of resistered bond, and the substitution of new oneo tiierebir, tti law neither RiTes any authority for, or in any way contemplates any such issue, but quite the contrary if tbe law bad intended to cover or admit of any such issue it would have beea neeesry that it should have providnd some machinery for carrying it on during the thirty years during whieh the bonds have to run, tor the term of ofiii-e of the commissioners expiies in bus than three years, and no one ia authorised to sign in thetr plwe. Vnder the law, an soon as the bond is issued the power of the comuuwiooers land of any one else authoiiwd to sign the bonds) is, to that extent exhausted. The simple fact, therefore, is that every dollar of lxnds ginned by any of the parties, tvond the amemtit or ia the mtnier allowed tiy law mo matter uu ter what was as uDK-arraDiatiie Rod ilieai act, and as aneh iitteriv void, and over one and a quarter million of dollars are so sisied.

But fnrtber, the makiug all the bonds at one time (r nearly sol aud having tbera all on band at one time, is a very dangerous prrceeaiug, tieides beinsr entirely contrary to the verv spirit and letter of Uio atatuto. which say Tbey f.hall be made and sold frcra time to time as may lie necessary, and very properly so, for many obvious reasons, among the most important of which are: That the money will not be wholly needed fr several years; that it is the extreme of foliy to pay seven per cent interest for the money a time before it will be needed, and then deposit without security, at a leas interest for none at alb to sxy nothing about the possibility of fraud and accident, or as perbap I ought to say in these days, the protalUitv of fraud. Another fact showing tlie evident intention of the legislature in this connection is that thev only require the treasurer to give bonds for the faithful performance of his duties as treasurer of tbe water commissioners, in the amount of most conclusively that it was never intended that the treasurer should have in his possession and under bis control any such amount at one time as to or f. sou, OOO of bonds i with the power to dispose of them alb. And let us bear in mind that such an amount of bonds is now, at this time, in tbe hands of and entirely under the control of the treasurer, according to bis own statemeot.

TUE SUITS. Probably no roan in the state has a more thorough knowledge and therefore, being an honest man, a greater hatred of the contracting ring which has become bloated from absorption of the revenues of the state, than Attorney-General Barlow. We mention this in the beginning, because our opponents, bard put for an answer, aver that he bus dropped thirty-one suits be liegsn against the contractors. The assertion is tlie very opposite of the fact. The attorney-general is fully determined to follow these actions to the bitter end, and expects to recover for the state wbat George D.

Lord confes-sed he could recover, so large a sum as For proof that Mr. Barlow has actually pushed these suits, we may state, what we have already shown by the legal documents published in our columns, that one of the most important of these actions has already been carried to the court of appeals. Let no tax-payer fail to read the complaints in these cases, which show fully and clearly how canal contracts were obtained by Jarvis Lord fc Co. No one can read these documents and then doubt the manner and extent of the fraud perpetrated upon the people of the state. THE COSIEST.

We have frequently urged upon Republicans the importance of the present contest. Tlie Albany Journal states the case in brief as follows: "The contest haa a direct, practical, personal importance to every vtiter in tbe state. It is to decide whether the control of our public affairs shall be in the hands of the party which built up "and supjiorted the Tammany ring, which is now under the mastery of the new Tammany ring with John Morrisey at its head, which appropriated millions to institutions, debauched the judi-" ciary, made corruption run riot in the "legislature, created a deficiency of nearly "$7,000,000, plundered the canals aud "rained our taxes higher than ever before or whether it is to lie in the hands of the party that has already largely relieved the people of the burdens, and is faithfully prosecuting the work of reform. Is such "a question, going to every man's pocket, of no consequence Can any honest voter "candidly consider it and doubt that it is his duty to vote the Republican ticket Xo Democrat is to be run against D.
