The end is fast approaching, timbers are creaking, sails rending, beams opening, the water is fast deepening in the hold, while the waves are sweeping the decks from siem to Stern, Hoffman & Co. are unequal to the emergency, and are vainly, like the tempest-tossed marmers tn the ong, looking for help where no help can come, The ‘tortuous poliey that they have up to this time pursued will epeedily fail them, The candidates for the fat bffices of Sheriff and County Clerk are growmg impa- ‘tient, and nothing but the lingering hope that each ‘will be the happy man withholds them from break- ang out imto open mutiny, There are four of hese candidates pressing their claims upon Tammany — ‘all strong men, But there are only two offices to be dis Posed of, and, therefore, twoof the claimants must of mooessity be ejected, These four aspirants to office have felt the truth of the proverb, “Hope deferred maketh the heart sick," and each for himself has gone to work to ‘increase his individual popularity and gain over to bis Bide the support of new friends and adherenta, Every Right the different wards of the city are traversed by one ‘or other of theso candidates, and their friends and the hhard. fisted boys that Ue around the headquarters where ‘Primaries are held, and tho pot-house politicians generally, have a high old time of it following Uhese itinerant candidates from porter-house to grog- bop and lager beer saloon, hurrahing for whichever of the quartet may bo in their immediate locality, and im- Dibing numerous potations at his expense, Whether it be O'Brien or Fox, Shannon or Loew, these worthy frogs op politicians vociferously shout and echo the same note and pledge of support and personal regard. ‘There are also ward organizations got up for the express Purpose of strengthening the clatms of the candidates ‘upon the consideration of the ring, and thus Tammany ‘ts left in the condition of the bundie ot faggots, which, ‘when altogether, was too strong to be broken, but @eparately were easily snapped in two. Tammany strength in the past lay in the influence which ‘men in the various wards of the city wi over the ‘Wemocratic masses, combining and consolidating their ‘votes on election daya But her strength has become her weakness, as is seen in the ease with which leaders @way these same masses, making tools of them to fright ‘the magoates of the old Wigwam into making conditions ‘with them. The ring—particularly the chief of it—sees ‘that the principal ‘the nominations to lies here, right im the path of e offices that are to be fill and ‘thas, move as they wil, they cannot wholly avoil peril before them.

Cimmans’ Association or New York, Sept. 25, 1867. Jawes Gorpox Bevnert, Esq. :— Dean Srr—From the tone of your editorial of last Sat- urday, the Hzratp must be laboring under an errone- ous impression as regards the plas of the Citizens’ As- sociation for the government of this city. The desire of our association is not to partition out the city departments among independent commissions without any recognized municipal authority to control them. By consulting the plan of the association you will see that our object is te unite the government into one harmonious whole, in which all interests shall be blended, but fully protected. To do this the association Proposes to repose in the Mayor the following additional Were :— pire oAn absolute veto power over all ordinances of tse Common Council This will onable the Mayor to check every improper proceeding, and will fix responsi- bility upon him. As at present constituted, the local government gives the Mayor but feeble power in this direction, for the record shows that it is now an PENNSYLVANIA, mater 10 pam suappoes Schemes in the looal Tegiaativa 81,396 Pe See ene, on oes a bbe MATE Republican loes......... 15,206 Dem. gain...

'It is also thought that the power to remove will maketbe Mayor a local ceutre, around which the commissioners, together with the more direct local officers, will revolve, subject to his su- pervision. It will thus be seen that the association proposes to concentrate in the hands of the Mayor more power than he has heretofore possessed. We would call your atten- ton to section 13 of our pian, abolishing ali distinctions Detween the city and county government, merging the Board of Supervisors into the Common Council; also to the proposed plan of regulating local expeaditares and taxes by a jury of taxpayers paying taxes on property of the taxable value of not less than $20,000. Also to section 17, prohibiting dovations of the public mouey or property, ‘and to section 20, making it a penal offence jor any officer of the Corporation to receive to his own use, directly or indirectly, any interest upon the money of the Corporation in bis hands, and providing for depo- siting such funds in the banks (giving adequate security) _ ‘shall aliow the corporation the largest interest ereon. The association for several years has striven to mal our jocai government honest, efficient and harmonious, and submits that its plan presented for the consideration of the Convention is well calcuiated to attain this result, Very respeosfully, PETER COOPER, Chairman, KINGS COUNTY POLITICS.

From the above tables it will be seen that the election in Maine is possessed of considerabi: ance, as showing the drift of public senti vote was a iarge one, almost as full as that cast last year, ‘and yet the radical majority was cut down from over 27,000 to about 11,000, When these facts are considered the perilous position of the radical party becomes appa- rent, Even in Wisconsin and Minnesota, which have been put down for smatl republican majorities, the chances are in favor of the conservatives, In the first named State quite a ber of republican nominees have deserted their ticket and become candidates of the democratic party, while in Minnesota recent local elec- tions would indicate a majority for the democrats of some three or four thousand. Tbe currency and internal tax questions, together with the probibitory laws of Maine and Massachusetts, and the strong feeling in op- position to universal negro suffrage, are having their effecte upon the voting populations in the Western States.

Arrival of a Rep ative of the Navy of Oar Neighboring Republic. ‘The propelier Alexander Pétion, one of the three steamersin the service of the republic of Hayti, reached this port yesterday morning, from Norfolk, where she had beon towed in distress by the steamer Granada ‘The Alexander Pétion left Cape Haytien on the 26th ult., bound direct to New York for extensive repairs, which were badly needed, after a continued service of two years, The voyage began propitiously and augured a suc- cessful termination; but upon the Ist instant, when in latitude 33 deg., longitude 76 deg. 10 min, the rudder of the vessel was carried away, leaving her quite helpless, Upon the following day the Pacific mail steamship Arizona was spoken and informed by the officers of the Alexander Pétion that she required assist- ance and towing to the nearest port. The Arizona declined to take her in tow, but offers were made to take on board all the crew, if their inclination tended to the abandonment of the vessel This was averse to the feelings of the Haytien officers, and the Arizona steamed ‘Sway upon her course, A icak was soon after discov- ered inthe hold of the Alexander Pétion, and water rapidly forced its way ito the vessel. The position of the leak was fortunately found on the 84, and means immediately resorted to to abate it, which were partially successful, Meanwhile a tem- rudder had been that answered very ‘well the purpose intended. In her now almost helpless state she fondeavored to make a port, but with little suc- cess. Relief soon came, however, as on Saturday, the 8th of September, at five o'clock in the evening, the Charleston steamer Granada was spoken sad togneet to tow her into Fortress Monroe. This was willingly acceded to, and on the Monday following she laid snugly in that harbor, She remained there until the 3 26th inst, whon she was taken in tow by the tug ly arriving in this port as noted above, THE ALEIANDER PRETION'S ‘SIZ5—HER ‘MACUINERY.
