The lists forthe municipal tournament now present jeter array of all the champions. The onset is to-day, and the Huzatp, as in duty bound, mar- @bals the combatants and declares their merits. #i MARSHALL 0. ROBERTS AND MURRAY HOFFMAN. ‘Tho inst of the candidates nominated, Marshall 0. (Roberts for Mayor and Murray Hoffman for Corporation Wounsel, were ushered in by the Union Convention on 'priday evening. The manner of thetr nomination was fwonderfully unanimous, and evidently astonished some (people, in view of the clamor raised by the Tribune for (Pome recognition of Hecker. There was nota solitary rwote for the Fernando Wood candidate. The thing was ot done by acclamation either, for there were some ‘weattering votes. The poor man’s candidate (Farmer) ‘ot seven, and the rich man’s candidate (Conkling) got a :gcore or 30; but there were none 80 poor as to cast a soli- ftary ballot in recognition of the played out radical and @ecessionist alliance, the Wood and Greeley ticket, Hocker and O'Gorman. The Union ticket thus put in nomination was evidently chosen for the paramount excellence and fitness of the ‘men. Marshall 0. Roberts was a poor boy, born in the ‘First ward of this city, in very humble condition. His areer from the position of porter and clerk and mer- @hant at his postin the old shipchandler’s shop is as ‘familiar to the people of the lower wards of the city as any other fact identified with that locality. His more ‘nature enterprises in the Pacific Mail and many other ‘@teamship and commercial undertakings have placed Dim in the very first rank of our citizens, both as to ‘wealth and influence. There is not a longshoreman who oes not understand the significance of his name and its fidentity with the peculiar sources of the prosperity of New York. ‘Thor is no name more respected at the bar than that of Murray Hoffman. His career as Justice of the Superior Mourt and in various other capacities, his commentary n the city charters, his compilations of the city lawsand ‘knqwiedge of the bearings of municipal questions, all piace him in the attitude of the very best selection that would be made for Corporation Counsel, Indeed, as the swhole interest of city affairs must turn now upon the re- onstruction and codification of our crazy jungle of city @aws, the selection of Judge Hoffman for his place on the ‘Picket is a most significant fact. Whether elected or not, Bhere is roason to think that his hand will in all pro- bility mould, if not actually direct, the legal ing of the metropolis under the legislation fet “tbe approaching winter at Albany. There ## slready some shrewd reason for believing that {he may be olocted in this canvass; but, failing this, tt is mimost positive that he is chosen, and advanced now in anticipation of the great work to be reposed in him—the @evision of our local laws. A younger man, like Joseph {hoate, presenting youth as well as remarkable ability, jwrith oncrgy and freshness for the conquest of popularity Qin this campaign, would perhaps have made the political mpicxion of the ticket more acceptable in certain juarters; but the well known name of Murray Hoffman ‘mects tho peculiar emergency with far more telling effect. GUNTHER, THE ‘PEACE’? CANDIDATE. A provailing mistake about the canvass puts Mayor Gunther's chances out of any account. Some, for want ‘of assume that he means to withdraw, while others will {a their prejudice concede him nothing fin the vote. In the first place, it is the positive igen pdinersngl to run, and it is no less confident intention to be elected. He has @ peculiar position that of being the professed and dis- ‘tinctivo ‘(peace candidate;’’ and since Fernando was “discarded” he takes the field with O'Gorman on this platform without a rival, their joint nomination being iret made by the McKeon organization, with the view of (presenting the “peace” issue squarely for their partisans {fo thie city. Gunther has not been supplanted with the sGermans by Hoffman, and he will sweep the Mozart vote rom the Hecker boxes like chaffon election day. The ‘*geceah” interest has been very strong here, and quite ‘ea bitter as at the South. Fort Lafayette has imposed a ‘hush which the close of the warhas ended. The great ‘row in the democracy proceeds from the long pent up ilo of the “peace men,” who now think their ‘turn bas come. Gunther has been their sole consistent and representative in office; he 1s now tho date of their malice and their wrath. uot Py ioe rer tae Fe It i lls Fae consideration FIVE NEW Jobn T.

About half-past one o'clock last Tuesday morning Adolph Leander, keeping a place at No. 111 Third av- enue, had an altercation with Edward Trinks, when Leander, as charged, seized a club and struck Trinks several blows on the head, nay stony injuring him. Mr. Trinks is now lying at his house, 203 East Ninth street, under the care of physicians. Mr. Leander was yesterday arrested by officer Harris, of the Eighteenth precinct. Coroner Gover lly investigated the case, and admitted the acc to bail inthe sum of three thousand dollars. Mr. Trinks will probably recover. ARREST OF ALLEGED GAMBLERS. Mr. John Sackman, residing at No. 39 Centre street, re- cently appeared before Justice Dowling and made a com- plaint against Anthony Bramorger, Uscar Tade and Jere- miah Falvey, charging that, on the 14th day of Decem- ber, 2864, the parties named won from him at one sitting, at No. 90 Chatham three hundred dollars at of It is as a common ogee magistrate issu he parties, and Captain Jourdan, of the Sixth precinct, yesterday arrested Tade and Falvey.

The prisoners were taken before Justice Dowling, who required them to give bail in five hundred dollars each to answer before the Court of Sessions. Alderman Kelly became bondsman for Tade, and Peter Tracy, yoy tog in the Bowery, rendered a similar service for Falvoy. FRAUDULENT TRANSACTION. Officer O'Byrne, of the Jefferson Market Police Court, yesterday arrested Oscar Smith, on the complaint of Henry B. Ward, of 85 Laurens street. In September Inst Mr. Ward came to New York in search of employment and fell in with the defendant, who offered to procurohim 8 situation at eighteen dollars per week, with the undor- standing that he was to deposit four hundred dollars as security for his honesty. Ward was to be a clerk in the establishment of Henry W. No. 200 Fourth streot. They then went to a lawyer's office, where articles 5 ment were drawn up and executed, after which Ward gave Smith three hundred dollars, wiih ‘sum the latter, as Germ’s agent to juentiy went to commence his du fe winan be lourned thas the representations of Smith were bee ind exaggerated, and that Germ was doing a very small business.

A day or two after the prmelnine of this proclamation on this side the Atlantic, @ New York journal, believed to be in the Confidence of the government at Washington, stated that photographs of myself and the other gentlemen charged, had been sent with the lamation to Europe, to be placed in the hands of the foreign police, and other- wise publicly exhibited, so that there should be no por. tion of the ‘habitable globe where any of us could rest our foot without being known as * branded criminals.” Now, | have previously asserted, publicly and privately, that I yr hyp o legally and constructively, as inno- cont of charge in the next san infant to be born (geaeraticn, Inever, util the assassination, had heard @ name of J, Wilkes Booth, or any of his ac complices, pronounced, or seen either or any written or in print, nor had I ever been present at, or beard of, any discussion of that or any other kindred bag ieol echoes, the 10th of May, 2865, 1 you a: lotter, which I the let pub- | self, I beg to call your attention to D to yourself in January last, that I should go to Washing- ton incog. to communicate certain views and informa- tion which might possibly tend to bring about an accom- modation. of the difficulties between the two sections without further effusion of blood and with honor and that you did so show it, and instructed him (Mr. T.) to come to Montreal, to say to me that I might submit my views through him, or by sealed letter direct to your- self. This he did, but tor prudential reasons ’I de. clined to do either, Mr. T. then returned to-Washing- ton, and after one or more interviews with you, reported to: me, by letter, that you had requested your confidential friend, Hon. Thurlow beer to Ee hither to see me, stating your desire that I should com- municate with him as freely as with yourself, This ar- rangement was, however, interrupted by (asT eu ) the “Hampton Road Conference,” and Mr. Weed did not arrive. Subsequently, when Richmond had fallen, and I saw tho call of General Weitzel for the assembling of the members of the Virginia ‘islature and other citi- zens in Richmond, I telegraphed you on the night of the 13th of April for permission to return to that city under the stipulations of that order. ‘The next day, Good Fri- day, I received = and on that night the dreadful enacted. Now, I submit, sir, when you take all these facts, es- ecially the last named, into co: ration, and the further one, that President Lincoln was fully advised of the nature of the business that brought me here, and that he granted several parties in the North permits, under and in accordance with the trade regulations of the Treasury Department, to make exchange with me of provisions and merchandise for cotton, you certainly cannot believe that I had either knowledge of, or com- Plicity with, that awful tragedy. Every motive of self-interest and patriotism—patriot- ism from my standpoint—if my own moral sense had not, would have restrained me. With President Lincoin favorably disposed to the execution of my mission, and ourself desirous ofan honorable peace, I should have n mad, as well as wicked, to have lent If to plan to harm personally, or otherwise, either of you. ‘Again: as soon as the proclamation of the 2d of May ‘was published, I ofered myself for trial, not, as some thought, in as temperate and judicious terms as I might have done, though in a spirit as I think palliated, if not wholly justified, by the nature of the crime with which [ ‘was 80 unjustly charged. To this I received no reply. On the 10th of May, sveing that you were convalescing from the terrible wounds inflicted upon you, I wrote you, respectfully requesting you to use the influence in- Gident to your position, to procure a fair trial for me, and stating that if my first proposition did not meet favor, I begged that another might be submitted. This is the communication | referred to when I expy the hope that itmever reached you.

TOR OF THE HERALD. Allow me to correct an historical error which @ cor- respondent, speaking apparently in the language of Lieu- tenant General Grant, has, as I believe, unintentionally committed. His statement is to the effect that General Grant bas been the only lieutenant general, full grade, in the United States Army, with the exception of George Washington, justly remarking that bis predecessor, General scott, holds rank titular or through brevet. Now, if Ihave a proper reminiscence of our national history, Washington never accepted the proffered honor of a lieutenant generalship.
