WOOD'S HEADQUARTERS Are at his office, corner of Wall strect and Broadway, and have been visited by his friends in great numbers for the last few days. He is, however, carrying on the cam- paign ona plan somewhat different from the other can- didates, and his supporters have established headquarters in nearly every ward of the city. Mr. Wood is behind pcg ‘competitors in the vay of flags, posters, largo Jetiers and red ink. The first Mayoralty bill which was ‘put up,was his, and read:— o eanncnreseeasareteaaaae FERNANDO WOOD FOR MAYOR, of Mr. Wood and his associates on the tickets Phe ec ‘the streets in numerous places.

THE PEOPLE'S HEADQUARTERS Are in a ball at No. 175 Bowery. Beneath is a “‘Deutache Restaurant and Lager Bier Saloon,” where the thirsty ‘and hungry Tentons are wont to congregate to eat sau- Sages and quaff the lager, and by way of variety the sour- est of Rhine wine. As one enters the entryway the am. Drosial odor of fricaseeing sausage, and bacon redolent ‘With choicest Arabian perfume, saiutes his nostrils, and makes him bethink hitnself of the feasts of the gods. To think of the idea: Juno masticating an ancient Bologna; Minerva exercising her powers of deglutition on a side bacon; Venus at 4 rump steak; Apollo drawing inspira tion from a junk of bread saturated with pork gravy; and Jupiter, tue father of gods and of men, recruiting his energies with the muscle and liver of a sturdy boar; Hebe carrying lager from deity to divinity, and Ganymede sup- plying tobacco. Not unlike this picture are the scenes ber or nightly occurring at this celestial home. Al are the ‘‘Headquartwrs.”” The first view that greetz the eye is a nuaber of chairs arranged in rows, 80 iat those sitting in them would face a table standing ‘against the wall next the street. On this table are docu: ments addressed ‘to the electors of the city of New York,’ cards setting forth the feasibility of electing Op- dyke, and various missives to enlightened citizens; all of ‘whom, it is presumable, are only waiting the occasion to help to defeat Wood, which they can demonstrate can be done only by voting for the republican nominee. THE DISTRIBUTION OF ALMS. William T. Pinkney receives his friends ina little side room on the first floor at the Smithsonian. Ten or a dozen are present all the time discussing the prospects of the ticket, the good fortune of Hull, who will receive thousands of votes which belong of hereditary right to Greene C. Bronson, and upon the gratifying prospects of Opdyke. A table surrounded by chairs occupies the cen- tre of the apartment, and it is covered with tumbiers, near which are a couple of dark bottles containing a mys. | terious fluid of magic powers. As our reporter entered the place he was cordially greeted by the occupants, seve- ralof whom courteously inquired as to his condition. No documents setting forth the feasibility of Opdyke’a election, answering the question, “Who js Solomon L. Hull?” or suggesting anything as to the Almshouse, are kept here; no banners, posters or ‘snipes’’ are to be seen. A modest placard at the window announces that the friends of Governor Pinkney meet here, and that is all. He has an “executive committee,” like the other candi- dates, who are supposed to doa certain amouni of availa: dle work at olectioncering and blowing.” THE RESTAURANTS AND DRINKING HOUSES For the last few days have been electioncering depots, SIXTH COUNCILMAMIO DISTRICT. ‘This district embraces the Ninth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Eighteenth wards.

Mr. Genera! Superintendent Pilsbury, fully alive to the heavy responsibility which rests upon his broad shoulders, ‘has been in labor for the last few days, and floallygiven birth to a programme of regulatione, which he is sanguine will prove ample for any emergency that may turn up, unless there should unfortunately occur some rowdy demonstra- tion of murder and outrage, similar to the late perfor- mance in Baltimore, when the military will be called out, and the offenders summarily dealt with. This, of course, will only be adermer resort with tho authorities, but it is a matter which is looked upon as not at all improbable, in view of the supposed intense excitement folt in the issue of the contest. Unlike the last election, when no trouble was anticipated, the police authorities are haunted with dark visions of rioting and bloodshed, which, they expect, will require the whole strength of ‘the police force, with a atrong auxiliary posse from Brooklyn, to effectually quell. The fact of Fernando Wood being’ in the. figld, arrayed against the regular democratic nominee, is the great cause of all the trepidation felt at the police headquartors, and it is thought that the rancor existing between the partisans of the two rival aspirants will break out some time or other during the day in violence and bloodshed. Aaeiper, or not these fears are well founded our readers will judge for themselves. Mr. Pilsbury will have in active service to-day 1,400 members of the police force, besides the various officers who will have for the nonce to give up their gentlemanly ease, and take part with their subordinates in pro- tecting the purity of the ballot boxes, and pre- serving the public e and good name of the city. One buntred and 'y of the above 1,400 hail from the neighboring City of Churches, and itis expected a good round number of specials will be sworn in to aid the regular force in whatever difficulty may turn up. By ‘aw the number of specials is extended to 400, but of course not half that number will be employed. During the day there will be reserve forces stationed at five different points in the city. At the City Hall there will be a reserve force of twenty- five to lock after the lower wards. The rowdy First and “Bloooy Sixth’? will come within the sphere of actiou of this reserve, who are thus plased at the post of honor, where there is most danger to be apprehended. At the police headquarters a reserve of twenty-five will also be stationed in case our best imitators of the Baiti- more Plug Uglies, Blood Tubs and Rip Raps—namely, the Dead Rabbite—should take it into their heads to re-enact some of their former dangerous frolics and exceedingly unpleasant pastimes. At the Eleventh ward station house a reservo of twenty- five men will be ready and ‘eager for the fray” if the classic precincts of Mackerelville are enlivened by any of the wonted “striking” exhibitions, rough and tumbles, and matchless displays of billingsgate. A reserve of twenty-five men will be also at the Seven- teenth ward, where the @emocratic element is dominant, and where there is usually a pretty lively time kept up by the “‘b’hoys,” in smashing the ballot boxes and cach other’s noses. Reserves of twenty-five men will also be stationed at the Twentieth and Twenty-third wards, to have a sharp look-out after the extreme up town wards. In addition to the above arrangements, there will be an omnibus at each of the places where reserve forces are ‘stationed , so as to facititate the movements of the men in case of necessity. It is said, too, that Mayor Tiemann has made ample arrangements with jor Genecal Sandford, of the First division Now-York Militia, for the prompt assistance of the military under his command, in in case they are called upon. Colonel ‘Marsal Lefferts had already yesterday after- noon issued an order to the men of the Seventh regiment, commanding them to prepare for duty during the whole o! the day—that is, from opening to closing of the polls. This crack regiment will therefore be under arms, and distributed over the different sections of the city, in readiness (o march at the first signal to that effect. The Second and Third companies will be at the new arsenal in the Seventh avenue, and ten filea from each of the other companies will be stationed at the various armories of the reginent- The old arsenal in Elm street will also have a force of picked men, in case of any disturbance in the lower part of the city.” These preparations on the part of the milita- ry authorities would a) to justify the apprehensions entertained by Mr. Pilsbury of a riot. The Su- Pperintendent, however, says he will not invoke the inter- position of the military arm until every other means proves abortive. MAYOR TIEMANN’S PROCLAMATION.

NELSON J. WATERBURY. THE CANDIDATES CATECHISED. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Tn accordance with the twelfth resolution of the public meeting in opposition to the Sunday laws, held in Volks Garten on the 13th of September last, letters were addressed (one week es to-day) to all the candidates for the office of Mayor of New York, asking them to state ex- plicitly whether, if elected to that office, they would or would not fecl bound to administer the municipal govern- ment in the spirit of the municipal ordinances, from which the Sunday laws (which were formerly concurrent with those of the State) have been expunged; and also whether they would or would not, ifelected, throw their official influence against the enforced reading of the Bible in the publi@echools, and against prohibitory liquor laws. ‘These letters were signed by A. Willman, President of the German Association for Resisting Sunday’ and Sumptuary Lawn; by H. P. Whitney, Secretary of the standing com- mittee of seven, chosen by the Volks Garten meeting ; and by the undersigned, in behalf of the American So- ciety for Promoting Civil and Religious Liberty.

She en- countered beavy weather, and, receiving some damage to her engine, was disabled An American schooner met her in distress, and took her in tow tor Bahia Honda, which port was convenient. Soon afterwards a Spanish war steamer bore down for the schooner, and proposed, in the manner of an order to be complied with, to tow the steamer into the port of Havana, which was complied with under the sense that it wasacommand. After removing the steam- er from the safe position, and a near port out of the reach of help, the Spanish commander found that he had not coal enough to get himself and tow to Havana, and he dropped the tow, forgetting that the Decatur had abun- dance of coal on board for his use. In getting loose from the tow a collision took place, doing more damage to the tug, and throwing the mate on board the Spanish war steamer; they had not time or in- clination to throw him back. Steamers have been despatched for the Decatur; but she has not been heard of, and fears are entertained that ailare lost. Who foots the bill? Spain must promise to pay for the conduct of her offizers in diverting the vessel from her safe port in view. ‘ We are going on well at the Palace: rotation the order of the day, and aclean sweep of Spaniards of Spain for Spaniards of Cuba. ‘They say that Serrano strikes with favor. learn from very reliable authority—and part I saw— that 560 Bozale negroes were landed last week at the Bajia de Mario, within half a mile of a Spanish war steamer which was lying at anchor there, and marched through ‘Trinidad under the very nose of the Governor, who made not the slightest effort for their arrest. They were sold immediately for upwards of $800 each. The vessel that brought them from the coast and effected the expedition with impunity was a fine Baltimore clipper built ship of 360 tons burthen, Of this transaction—its notoriety in the town ot Trinidad—there was uot a man, woman or child in ignorance, nor any one abroad that might not have seen. the negroes, unless they chose to avoid it. They did not remain probably within sight of the Goyernor longer than ‘was necessary to get them to cover near by, where dis- tribution could be effected according to the terms of sale, and the gang dispersed to several plantations, out of the reach of myestigation, should official vigilance happen to wake up from any unexpected change. The slaver brig with five hundred nogroes on board, lately taken by the Spanish war steamer Biasco de Garay, and with a prize crew put on board, ordered to Nuevitas, was taken by—unavoidable casualty. The Blasco was on her voyage to Porto Rico, and the crew of theslaver seeing the steamer approaching in the distance, supposed it to be a British cruiser and fled to the shore, be 3 only three sick sailors on board. The brig was thus left drifting about at the mercy of the winds and waves, so that the Blasco de Garay was compelled to go to her assistance, ‘and of course capture her. The brig was fitted out in the city of Havana about six months since; but on the voyage to Africa the crew mur- dered the captain and put in charge @ man of their owa selection. The factor on the coast, learning of the mutiny and murder, refused to have anything to do with the ves- sel; but another man, less scrupulous, undertook to fur- nish her cargo, and came on board of ‘the brig as super- cargo, and is now in Havana or the vicinity, and will re- turn to the coast in afew weeks, after he has closed new contracts for future deliveries, as to which I am well ad- vised. No less than four expeditions have been consummated by landings at Pinar del Rico within the last three months. Several veseels aro now expected at Trinidad and in that vicinity; and as secret instructions have been received by the local authorities to call in all the troops which were stationed along the coast, a complete revival of the trade may be anticipated in that quarter, which has been so well guarded for several years, by the Brit- ish Consul residing at Trinidad. ‘The cruising of British and American vessels of war on the coast of Africa does not diminish the number of slaves annually imported into the island of Cuba. The more money, lives and vessels you sond thereto be used, lost and destroyed, upon an interminable cruising ground, the more energy, money and vessels will be sent from Cuba to the coast to defeat your object.

The creoles are in ecstacles. They say ‘Spain has at Inst sept the right man for Captain General, and that evory- thing is sure to go on well now.”” What, think you, is the cause of this sudden change in their feelings and opi- nions? Simply because some few of their number have “already,” as they say, triumphantly, been appointed, or, rather, are reported to have been appointed, to some minor offices ot trust. This, and the fact of the Condesa de San Antonio, the wife of the new Captain General, being a native of the island, has thus set them all a “cock & hoop.’” The givin city a civil government is doubtless a move Pay tde. i divootion® but then the Captain General is the civil as well as the military governor of the city, so hat de facto, the change is only in the name, and not in the substance, of the matter.

Projects are on foot, however, started on individual speculation, for the importation of laborers from Barbadoes, where it is asaerted shoals of them are to be found wandering about in absolute deati- tution. It is calculated that at one-tenth of the cost of coolie emigration, laborers can be procured, and those, too, thoroughly accustomed to West India field work, ‘Bheir services can be made available here during crop time, and will permit of their return to Barbadoes (or the ingather- ing of the barvest there, as there exists a difference of six months in the seasons between the two places.

Interesting Postal Decision. 4 GALLANT LETTER FROM POSTMASTER GENERAL HOLT. ‘The follor letter from Mr. Joseph Holt, Postmaster General of the United States, covers a decision of a ques- tion as interesting as it is novel. A husband, who been separated (rom his wife, demanded that Postmaster should deliver her letters to him, ened a suit at law if his demand was n with, The wife, on the other hand, forbade delivery of her letters to the husband. In these cir- cumstances, the Postmaster appealed to Mr. Holt for in- structions. That — pronounces the claim ad- vanced by the husband too preposterous to be seriously Tefuted—indeed, he says it is abhorrent to law as it is te the Christian civilization of the age. We give Mr. Holt’ letter in full:— Posr Orrick Dapartuent, Nov. 30, 1869, Sim:—In yours of the 28d inst., you ask for ong in regard to the delivery of letters to a wife who is sepa- rated from her husband, but is not divorced; and ‘state that the husband claims all letters addressed to for, and will commence a prosecution if his claim is not allowed, while tho wife torbids that he shall be permitted to receive them. The precise question raised by this state of facts has never before been presented to this Department, which affords gratifying proof that there is no pi dispo- sition on the part of American husbands to enlist the.sup- Port of the postal authorities in endeavors to intercept and violate the correspondence of their wives. In this step he bas, no doubt, proceeded upon the mistaken assumption that because of her legal identity with him- self for certain purposes, these letters are therefore his absolute property, and he has the right to control the Postmaster in their delivery. When a hushand- becomes estranged from his wife and abandons her, or by his neglect or cruelties compels her to abandon him, it’ would be as revolting to humanity, as subversive of sound morals, to suffer him to cut off her communicatton with those relatives and friends to whom in her hour of trial she might be driven to look for sustenance,or for that consolation which she might need even more than food or raiment. It has long since been adjudged, both im England and Scotland, that even after letters havo reached the possession of those to whom they are direct- ed, their writer has still such a property in them ag wilt enable him to maintain an injunction to. pre- vent their publication. A fortiori, does this interest exist when the letters, like those under consideration, are in transitu. This principle seems to be declared in the Act of Congress, which requires that all non-delivered letters, containing valuables, shall, with their contents, be returned to the writers, whose proprietorship in them could scarcely thereafter be controverted. The depart- ment, both in the transportation and delivery of 1etters, acts as the agent of their writers, from ‘whose warrant of attorney, as found in the superscription upon them, neither the counsel nor the command of the husband, nor of anybody else—under such circumstances as are hero presented—will justify a departure.. What state of facta would authorise a revocation or modification of this “warrant of attorney’’ by the writers themselves, it is unnecessary to discuss, inasmuch as it is not pretended, in this instance, that any such revocation has been made. If only such letters can be delivered to the wife as the husband may formally sanction, it would equally follow that none could be safely carried in the mails, written by her, without a like assent first obtained—« doctrine too preposterous to be seriously refuted. The husband, in this case, seems to have supposed that he has the same property in the hts and. sympathies of his wife—though no lo! member of his household—and of her friends, that has in her goods and chattels. This view of marital power might'well find a place in the code of the Grand Turk, and would possibly be submitted to in his harem, butit is re- gnant to the teachings of American jurlsprudence. hile, in legal contemplation, the wife's existence is to a degree ae in that of the husband, it is. also true that her individuality is for many purposes conc and de- fined, and that she has rights secured to her not only in- dependent of, but in deflance of the will of her liege lord. She is legally'and morally responsible, apart from him and has necessarily guaranteed to her thatjfreedoom of thought and of the interchange of thought, eee in this instance to be denied her, but without which the impost- tion of such reponsibility would be an arbitrary and re- morseless despotism. Hence it may be safely’ hold that the jealous and heartless espionage attempted to be exercised by this husband over the correspondence of his wife, from whom he is separated, is as abhorrent to law ‘as it isto the Christian civilization of the age, which re- cognizes woman asthe companion of many not hiss slave. You are therefore instructed to deliver the letters in question to the lady to whom they are addressed. J. HOLT, Postmaster General.
