A meeting of taxpayers was held at the Academy of Design last evening, at which steps were taken towards the orgunization of an associstion having for ite object the correction of the abuses which prevail in our municipal affairs. A report of the proceedings is given in another column. The Board of County Canvassers met yesterday to examine the returns of the recent election. The returns from the first three districts of the First ward were found to be correct, but the return from the Fourth district developed an “informality” by which probably Mr Sickles’ plurality will be re- Guced some twenty-three votes. Our report of the proceedings of the Board explains the way in which the mistake occurred. The retarn was refer- red back to the inspectors for amendment. The steamsiip Kangaroo, which left Liverpoo! on the 27th ult., arrived at this port yesterday. The advices by mail by this arrival are one day later than those received by the Galway steamer Circas, sian. An interesting compilation of the news is given in to-dey’s Henan. In the Supreme Court yesterday Judge Ingraham denied « motion for a writ of error and stay of proceedings in the oase of Dr. Gaillardet, convicted of assaulting Mr. Cranston, proprietor of the New York Hotel. ‘The inquest in the case of young Tompkins, who was killed in a rencontre at the concert and drink- ing saloon, No. 497 Broadway, on Saturday night, ‘was continued yesterday by Coroner Hills, at the Eighth precinct station house, But little testimony was adduced, and none that could in any way point to the perpetrator of the homicide. The Coroner ‘was obliged to adjourn the case over for want of further evidence. No farther action has yet been taken in the case of the steamtug Petre! by the Coroner. Coroner Hills signified his intention of holding the inqnest two days ago, but thus fur he has made no progress other than viewing the body of the deceased engi neer. The regular mecting of the Ten Governors was held yesterday afternoon. The requisitions for supplies for the several institutions were read and passed, with some trifting deductions. There are four inmates at present in the smallpox hospital and twelve nurses, making a tote! of sixteen There are 1,34) inmates at Randall's Island. The eum of $75 was appropriated for the boys of Ran- dall’s Island for the celebration of Thanksgivin Day. A bill of David Gillespie, amounting to #225, for “decorating the dining room, parlor, and two anterooms in the Workhouse at Blackwell's Island,” was ordered to be paid. Mr. W. FP. Pinck ney proposed that, instead of ing the architects on the new wing of the Penitentiary and the Wa den’s residence #1,000 per annum, that the sum of | $1,500 be paid them for the completion of the work. A very lengthy discussion took place on this motion. Mr. Dugro vehemently pro- testing against paying the ar ects anything at all, as they were only empowered to assume the inspection of the buildings by a committee and not by the Board. An appropriation of $25,000 for the use of the institutions was agreed to. The return of inmates in all the institutions showed a number of 7,460 to the 6th November, being an increase of 114 on the same period last year. The ‘Matter of Dr. Morton's claim will come up at the next meeting. Among the communications received by the | * Governors of the Almshonse yesterday, wo from the Ferrymaster of Blackwell's Island, com- | ne Plaining of o custom which has recently prevailed on the other side of the river, of firing bullet across, by which the lives of the wardens and others are endangered. One bali was recently picked up on the island. It is supposed thet the firing proceeds from a hotel on the other side of the river, where target companies generally resor for practice. The matter was referred to a com mittee for investigation. The Senatorial Sanitary Committee still continne their investigation into the leading canses of dis cose in the city. terday they received the tes timony of Mr. Downing, the Superintendent o Sanitary Inapection, who stated that the origin of a great deal of sickness in the city is the cobble pave- ment, which secretes filth and is very dificult to be cleaned, and that the collections of garbage in the streets, which is thrown from tenement houses at all hours of the day, and in every ward in the city are very much calculated to increase the causes of isease of all kinds. It is understood that the com mittee will «oon close their inquiry. Mr. Gouldy, his youngest son, and one of the ser vant girls, are still lingering between life and death, bot cannot survive long. Mra. Gouldy is recovering rapidly The Grand Jory brought another batch of NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1858.' Se: Plesded not guilty, nnd were remanded for trial. The business in this Court has flagged since the commencement of the term, in consequeuce of the Want of unity of action among the subordinates of the District Attorney's office. James Kingston, Oliver Dereslar and Peter Hedrick, indicted for forgery in the second degree, pleaded guilty to the fourth grade of that offence, and Judge Russell sent each of them to the State prison for two years. Alois Muller was tried for keeping a disorderly house at No. 198 West Thirty-sixth street, but as there was a conflict of testimony, the jury, after being confined till five o'clock, w re discharged, six being in favor of an acquittal and six for cunvic” tin, Joseph Loseart was tried for stabbing !rede- rick Rowe, and convicted of an assault with a dangerous weapon with intent to do bodily harm. He was remanded for sentence. ‘The sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 1,500 bales. The market closed without chanye in prices, The ‘our market wes more active, and sxleg were large, while all common and medinm prades were firmer, Wheat was in better demand, aud prices quite frm, while sales were freely mado, Corn was firmer and active, with sales of Western mixed, good to choice, at Téc, a 80¢.; Southern white at S5c., Jersey yellow at 880., and Southern do. at 0c. Pork was im good demand, with sales of mess at $17 250 $1T ST}g0., and prime at #13 7. Sogars were firm and in fair demand, with salos of 728 hhds, Porto Rico and Cuba at rates given in another column, Coffee was in better demand, with sales of Rio, Muracaibo and Taguayra,a rates given in another co- jomn, The stock of Rio was 3,850 bags. The mats and bags of Java were equal to 50,825 bags, and the total of all kinds amounted to 67,122 bega. Freight engagements were moderate, and chiefly confined to Liverpool aud London, at rates given in another place, The Douglas Conspirators and the Public Printing—Mr. Seward and the Presideucy, The main results of the Mlinois election—a Legistature supposed to be in favor of the re-elec- tion of Mr. Douglas to the Senate—may, if pro- perly sppropriated, restore him again into full communion in the democratic church. To this end, he and his chosen disciples have only to re- turn te a cordial support of the administration, which they have betrayed and deserted, and we doubt not that, overlooking all the mischicf which they have done, the administration will forgive them, absolve them, and make this act of anmesty the beginning of @ general reunion and consolidation of the party. But will Mr.Douglas take this indispensable initiative step to the re- union and harmony of the dismantled democracy? No. From all the indications of the day he will do no such thing: and the dclusive victory which he has just achieved will only mislead himself and his followers to destruction. Already, we perceive, the leading organs of this Douglas movement have fixed their atten- tion, not upon his nomination by the Charleston Convention, but npon the tempting spoils in- volved in the printing of the next Congress. Thus, we find an cditorial adventurer of the fire-cating school, who has been starved out of Richmond, ready, upon the spur of the moment, to blend his desperate fortunes with a little Douglas filibustering organ at Washington, which was established in view of the printing plunder of the present Congress, aud which “still lives” upon the hope of a sop from the spoils of the next. Thus, too, we have the nucleus es- tablished at Washington between the Union and the Stetes, between Wendell (anti-Douglas demo- erat) and Heiss (Douglas democrat), of two clashing and irreconcileable lobby factions intent upon the Congress printing. The result must inevitably be the widening of the breach between these two fuctions in Congress and throughout the country, especially should it appear, as it most probably will appear in due time, that Forney has « finger in the pie. From the time of General’ Jackson the de- mocracy have regarded the printing of Congress as the indispensable aliment of their central organ, and their all-powerful financial agent for electioncering purposes. Of late years, however, in the matter of these inexhaustible printing spoils, the machinery of the lobby, in the hands of Mr. Wendell, has been superior to party disci- pline; and we fear that against this consummate lobby manager the hot and ravenous lobby forces of the Donglas faction will signally fuil. There is noleophole left to Wendell for a compromise with these Douglas competitors; for if there be any one thing which is fixed beyond reparation it is the deadly feud existing between Wendell and Donglas. Mr. Wendell, therefore, will con- tvive his plans and combinations outside of the Donglas interest, and in defeating it, he will not scruple to invoke the aid of the opposition, nov will they be likely to refuse him @acir assistance ehonld the exigency require it. And thas, we apprehend that this Congress priating, so long regarded os the great central bulwark of demo cratic discipline, will prove iteelf the rock upon which the party is to be dashed to pieces, It | will keep alive this Donglas conspiracy in the } | | camp, aud this eventful trial for the spoile will assuredly be terminated by the opposition to their own advant Such is the present game of the leading and such are upon Douglas Dovglas organs and manag their prospects. They have seiz asa convenient instrument, and they are using him, and intend to use him, to secure the Con- gress printing from the divided democratic party in an opposition Congress. They will fail, and in their greedy struggle for the «poils. upon | which they have fixed their longing eyes, they will be outwitted by Wendell; but they will most likely bave established the dis cords of the democracy and downfall of Douglas, | Tie is in the hands of a gang of reckless and hun- | gry harpics, and they will suck him so dry in | 1859 that he will be hardly better than a living skeleton in 1860, and he may be worse ! j Seward, on the other hand, instead of being used by his followers, organs and retainers, uses them. The Presidency is bis game. He docs not care to waste his time upon smaller objects, | and if he does, it is only to subordinate them to ‘ | the greater. Thus he boasts of the strength of | the republican party in Maine, “consolidated under the lead of Hamlin and Fessenden; in New Hampshire, under ce direction of Haile and Clark; in Massachusetts, under the lead of Wil- son and Adams; in New York, of Horace Groeley and Preston King: in Pennsylvania, ander the Jead of Comme: yn aura Vampuci. uve Uys, says Seward, and patting them on their backs, he encourages them to still larger endeavors. He even stoops to a special culogium upon Matte- son, for Seward well knows the value of such lobby men as Matteson, whether operating apon drafts of a thousand or twenty-five thousand dollars. But the shrewdest of tactitians sometimes commits the most egregious blunders. So with Seward. In cutting under Douglas, Gerrit Smith and hie black republican rivals, Mr. Seward, at Rochester, plunged himself into the morass of abolitionism. from which no Presidential Con- vention can lift him. To secure the monopoly of the anti-slavery sentiment of the North he has eacrificed the Northern balance of power: to which the prisoners, when arraigned, | question, will be compelled to ali his Northern anti-Lecompton allies, The former, under the impulse of the late elections, has be- trayed and ruined himself; and the latter, from his unsubstantial victory in Mlinois—in the hands of his hungry friends—is in a fair way of | being utterly broken down and exhausted before the mecting of the Charleston Convention. Beyond these results and probabilities the late clections have decided nothing in reference to the next Presidency, except that chaotic aud in- congruous condition of parties and factions which demands, as the first necessity, a general reconstruction, involving new measures and men adapted to the practical exigencies of the day. Plug-Ugly Rule in our Cities—A Lesson to the Order Loving Citizens of New York. In another column we give a letter from our correspondent in Baltimore, descriptive of the events and scenes which attend life in the Monu- mental City. It should be read hy every citizen of New York, and the lesson it teaches should be remembered and acted upon, Baltimore has fallen under the rule of the «pit Uglies,” “ Rip Raps” and “ Black Suakes,” and a sweet time the quict denizens of that city are having of it. How far Mayor Swann and the judiciary may be able to put down this state of things is very questionable; but if there is any public virtue in the Baltimoreans, they will put down the rascals that now ride rough shod over them by that summary justice which a virtuous and order loving people know how to execute when the constituted anthorities fail in the per- formance of their duty. For several years Bal- timore has been under the rule of banded scoun- drelism, and it was these clubs that, at the recent municipal election, drove the voters opposed to the re-election of the present Mayor from the polls. We do not ascribe this state of things to the principles advocated by any political party, but it is due in a very great measure to the system of organization which the native American party introduced a few years since. The system of dark lantern lodges and secret proceedings gave scoundreliem an organization which it had never before had in this country. The rascals got pos- session of the “lodges,” and long since drove every orderly citizen out of them. A few am- bitious political aspirants remained, and these have sufliced to give a political color to many organizations that are nothing more than banded villains. The citizens of New York, Philadelphia, New Orleans and Louisville can bear witness to this fact, ag well as those of Baltimore. “Plug Uglies,” “Dead Rabbits,” “Rip Raps,” “Thugs,” end many other such truthfully descriptive uames, are familiar to all of them. And these names are not opprobrious epithets, applied by ont- siders, but they are the self-adopted styles of the clubs themselves. : Tn all our large cities these organizations exist to an extent that makes it very questionable to thousands of thinking men whether our system of representative government can be safely ap- plied in municipal affairs. In some States the result has been that the chief control of the mu- nicipal affairs has been taken away from the cities and lodged in the Legislature of the State. This bas been done in the cases of New York and New Orleans, aud is now one of the proposed remedies for Baltimore. In oth- ers, vigilance committees have been formed by the citizens, and an end put to the career of ras- caldom by « strong but unlawful hand. San Francisco and New Orleans owe their preseut se- curity to such a course. Although the adoption of such violent proceediags as have marked the action of vigilance committees is the indubitable proof of the existence of a public virtue in the bosom of the community, we must reprebend that inattention on the part of the citizen to his public duties that renders such an exhibition of his virtue necessary. If those who are entitled to vote for municipal officers would go to the polls and deposit their ballots in favor of honest men, and men who will uphold the law at all hazards, there would not exist a stale of things that would render it questionable whether or not cities can be safely entrusted with the right of self-government. But to long as 9 man’s opinion on Kansas, squat- ter sovercignty, the right of federal interference with slavery in the Territories, the admission of Cuba to the Union, or a protectorate in Mexico, is made the test for his election or non- election, as a police justice, or to any other municipal office, just so long will the braisers and shoulder-hitters of the several parties decide in the primary meetings who shall and who shall not be a candidate for power in the city. Then, again, this very state of things drives away a very large number of citizens trom the polls, who thus do not vote at all. In this city, it is estimated that twenty thousand legal voters regularly decline to vole for the simple reason that they are disgusted with the candidates that are put up by all the part They constitute a large proportion of the honest and weli inten- tioned citizens, and yet in steying away from the polls they do the very thing they ought not todo. They give their countenance to the Plug Uglies and the Dead Rabbits hy not giving their votes for honest men. The deeds that have lately been transacted in Raltimore are a diegrace (oa civilized commu- nity. Yet our own city ie not one whit better. We gave in our columns yesterday an account of « murderous affair in the Fourteenth ward, con- sequent upon one of oar primary ward elections. Indecd, the whole account of these primary elec- | tions is every year a vouthing satire upon our | political system. Fancy men, Bowery Boys, and the scum of New York, de- cide who shall be the candidaice for the suffrages of the citizens. We call upon every inhabitant of this metropolis to take these things into earnest consideration. They should no longer be permitted to exist. Our municipal affairs have nothing whatever to do with Le- compton, a protective tariff or the abolition of slavery. We call upon the committee of the taxpayers’ organization to bring forward men for honest man may not experience a feeling of self reproach for having voted for. And finally, we call upon the order-loving. the honest, and the well disposed citizens, one and all, to abandon everywhere the candidates who look to Plug Ugltes, Dead Rabbits, Thags, and shoulder hitters and bruisers generally, for their nomina- tions, through the disgraceful proceedings of a primary election. No Fonoes ror Masten Sewann—Senator Sewart's recent famous speeches advocating the immefiate, entire and unconditional annihilation of the South attract # great deal of aitention and nuch newspeper comment thronghout the country. Their sanguinary doctrines, however, receve no support except from the most out- indictments yesterday into the Court of General ! and Douglas, to recover the Southern side of the | rag@usly rampant of the abolition organs, Punic Scuoor Orricers.—One of the most important questions in the coming municipal election is in the choice of members of the | Board of Education, which supcrintends the | free schools of the city, and direct the morals and intellectual training of nearly fifty thousand | children, Some of the journals ecem to think that the main question to be decided is, whether or not the Bible shall be excluded from the schools. This may be well enough for fuel to stir up sectarian fires, but the fact is that there are other matters more important than the Bible question. The people are to say whether they will, by the choice of respectable and competent men as school ofiicers, exclude immorality and corruption from the Board of Education, and promote the moral welfare ef the children under its care, or whether they will go on to choose broken down second rate po- litical hacks, who make jobs out of the million and a half school fund, and pervert the system 80 that it is as degraded as any other departmeat of the city government. Tho character of some of the members of the Board of Education may be judged from the fact that not long ago one of them was unable to write his name, while another was sentenced to the penitentiary. These are rare examples for the rising genera- tion, and will go far to repress the rampant rowdyism which seems growing up among our youth. The future of the city isin the hands of the fifty thousand children in the public schools, and their future is in a great measure in the hands of the Board of Education. Therefore, the character of candidates for school officers should be more carefully scrutinized than that of any others before the people. Just now the Board of Education is not in the best odor, and we hope that it will be thoroughly ventilated between this time and the doy of election. Wuo's tae Dupg?—It is very pertinently asked in various quarters, who has been fooled in the recent fight in Tlinois? Mr. Douglas’ sup- port was made of the most heterogeneous and an- tagonistic materials. Hon. Masca Greeley went for him, old white coat and all, because he was supposed to be “a little of color” on the nigger question, and a little is better than nothing for the 7ribune philosophers. The Richmond Enguirer, which defends slavery as the best of all institu- tions, supported Greeley’s friend; so did the Ddia, of New Orleans, which would be glad to open acrevasse in the bank of the Mississippi and drown all the abolitionists here and else- where, without benefit of clergy. Thurlow Weed joined hands with the filibustering fire-eaters of New Orleans; and the Know Knothing Critton- den, of Kentucky, marched side by side with the Freeman's Journal and the Roman Catholic Arch- bishop of New York. The old Clay whigs and the old line democrats likewise gave their voices to Douglas. It is quite certain that some of these antagonistic elements must have been hum- bugged. Hf Douglas was a perfect kaleido- scope, or a chameleon, he could not carry phases and colors to suit all. Who, then, is the dupe? Is it Greeley, or the philosophers of the Zn- quirer, or the filibusters of the Delta, or the South- ern Americans, or the Frceman’s Journal? Who's the dupe? Asorner Errorr to Save Ropoers rrom THE GaALLows.-The young men, odgers, convicted of the murder of Swauston, fs to expiate his offence on the gallows on Friday next. We understand that another effort is about to be made to induce Governor King to exercise the pardoning power in his behalf. Some indivi- duals of mistaken benevolence purpose going to Albany to-day to solicit a commutation of sen- tence, on the ground of Rodgers’ youth, of the inadequacy of the evidence to convict him, and | of society itself being culpable in giving so much | oleration to the practice of carrying and using | weapons. If clemency be shown to Rodgers on the last of these grounds, it would add still fur- | ther to the culpability of society in that respect. The streets of our city must be made safe for peaceable cilizens by day and by night; and if | the law be not carried out in the case of Rodgers, | that security cannot be reasonably expected. | THE LATEST NEWS.

At half-past one, four election districts of the First ward had been canvassed.

The result in de- (ail was announced:—Sickles, 70; Williamson, 34, Wal- bridge, 21; G, Hiram Walbridge, 1—footing up 126. But (he whole oumber of votes cast was announce as 108, imuking 23 more in detail than in tho total. The 70 votes given to Sickles were marked “‘uader protest.” It waa voted to send back the return to the inspectors for cor- rection, When the Board gotto the vote for Judge of Superior Court, however, the mystery was apparently solved. Tho whoie number of votes in this box was 108, of which: only 86 were for Judge and the rest for Congressman, Angpectors save to Sickles. “ eye ag Supervisor Kennepy said that was a fine lecting a man, If yoters could deposit Dullots in each box for ths saine candidate, apy one could be elected.
