4 pk, ARES oe A Week of Hard Work Before the Politicians. ———+ THE INCREASED REGISTRATION the Party Wirepullers Think About It. What OUR FUTURE RULERS Sketches of the Various Candidates for Cffice in This City. | Yesterday was a remarkably quiet day among the politicians, and but little work was indulged in by either the leaders or the followers, the | ward managers. 1! ‘ammany men were espe- | ciaily, to all appearances, inactive, doudtiess be- | cause all the little dificulues which prevailed | some days ago in afew of the Assembly alstricts | had been arranged as best they could be during the week. From to-day till the 3d prox., how- ever, there will be but small occasion for rest among the workers of either party, for, what with the preliminary manceuvrings to bunt up the sly fellows who may have succeeded tn getting regis- tered under false pretences, the supervising of the printing and the (0lding of the local and State tickets, and the selecting of the ‘vox men,” they will all have their hands tuil. The choosing of the box men, it is understood, will entail no small amount of labor upon the leaders this year, owing to the complicated condition of affairs in some of the districts and the danger of getting THE WRONG MEN IN THE WRONG PLACE, by reason of there being tnree local county tickets | in the fleld, Tammany is not sure of ali the box | men Who have already been fixed upon, and it was | said yesterday that more than usual pains are to | be taken for the selection of the men in the Fifth Congressional district, where John Fox intends to run democratic tickets with General Jones’ name on them, instead of that of James Hayes, for Regis- | for Jones,” said one of the leaders yesterday, “as we apprehend that he and his friends will try to have republican State tickets peddied out of the Tegular democratic boxes. To accomplish this, Fox’s Irienas will doubtless do their best to cap- ture some of the Tammauy ticket holders, and we | are determined to have men down there who Will | not be tampered with. It is no idle fear of ours | that democratic voters may be cheated into inno- cently voting for republican candidates in the hurry of voting in the Filth disurict, for, deny 1s as he may, I know that it was part of the bargain Fox made with Jom Murphy that Tepaolican votes cast for Hogan for Congress would be compensated tor by some of the repub- lican candidates getting democratic votes in re- | turn.” In the Eighteenth Assembly district, too, the Tammany leaders say they have need to | exercise the greatest caution and watschfulness; | and the fact that the registration in twelve or | thirteen election districts of the district has not | yet been reported by the inspectors, they add, gives rise to the suspicion that some trickery is in- tended. It will be remembered that this district, which by right ought to have a democratic ma- jority of 1,500, sent Biglin, a republican, to the As- sembly last year. This was due to the support he got from Apollo Hall and the Tawmany managers seem to tuink that he is again, in an underband Way, to obtain assistance on election day from U’Brien’s iriends, One of the democrats tn the district states that when Biglin was first nom- inated the republicans felt that he was certain of defeat, ashe would not have the same outside support that he had before; “put,” he added, “they do not taik that way now, and what makes me think that some NICH LITTLE PECUNIARY ARRANGEMENT has been made between certain outsiders and Big- lin’s friends is a remark dropped by Hugh Gardner | atthe Republican State Central Committee rooms a | short time ago, When he eXpressed the doubt whether or not, if Bigiia was nominated this year, he could get re-elected, would have the same chances be had last year; still, by proper management, I think the | district could be carried, But I don’t vbink ap Assemblyman 1s worth the amount asked.’ The democrat added that “the amount asked” had, he thought, been nanded over, judging irom the way some of the outsiders were aciing. It is reasouabie to expect, therefore, alively time ofit on election day in this district, | and even for a few days before it, especiaily as, in | addition to the alleged bargains reierred to as @ | drawoack, there is considerabie discontent among | the Tammany rank and dle. Tne Creamer faction _ and the Germans in several of the districts held | imtormal meetings yesterday aiternvon, but, as has | already been Said, no actual work was done, | ‘they seemed to be confident of final success, and | believed, they said, that Hayes for Register would | be 80 Oadly beaten (hat be would wonder the day | aiter election Whether he had been a candidate at | all, The members of the German Independent Organization appeared to tuink the vic- tory of Ottendorfer a fixed fact; but, as 1t “bas jeaked out that @ large number ofthe German republicans who were a week ago considered sure ior him, Dave decided to go the straight republican ticket, but many of his demo- | cratic jollowers are beginning to lose heart, and | are already seemingly im doubt as to whether, aiter all, it is Worth their wile to throw their votes away On aman who, in the estimation of most of the politicians of both parties, will come | out a bad thira iu the race. The large number of votes registered was a topic which seemed to atford the barroom hangers-on and the wirepuil- | ers generally who irequent them on Sundays ample foou for discussion. The Tammany men were jubi- jaut over it, and said toat it Was a sure presage ola Tammany Victory by very handsome ma- jority. Op the other hand the Creamer men and the Germans argued that THE INCREASE IN THE REGISTRATION over that of 1873 was due to tue agitation of muni- ctpal reform by the bolting democrats and the ful- lowers 0! Ottendorfer geueraliy; that thonsanas of voters had registered simply to sustain an inde- pendent cancidate, who would not nave registered were tuere but tle two regular parties in tue con- test, “Lt 1s,” they said, “@ repetition of the cam- paign of is7l. The men who came out then to vote (or the first time ip years, alter doing so, and the result was 80 salisiactory, thougnt they had settied the question of reform for some time to come, afd so they did not take the trouple to reg- | ister the following year. But they have again awkened to the fact that the old King spirit is still rampant apd that it needs @ strong pull alto- | getuer once more of the silent votera to crush it out entirely.” However this may be, tne increase as a whole is generally regarded a8 favorable to the Tammaoy ticket, but the increase in some of the districts would seem to show, alter all, that many republicans who did not vote last year have determined to go in to win this year.

The Amendments To Be Voted Upon by the People—The Lobby Doomed—Special Legislation, Bribery at Electiows and Legislative Corruption To Be Pre- vented—The Salary of the Legislators. The constitutional amendments which are to be | Voted upon by the peuple at the coming election have thus far been given the go-by by the active workers of both parties in the State, It is gener- ally conceded that many of them are exceedingly distasteful to the professional politician, and that the Canali Ring and the jobbers generally, who | make @ fine living by lobbying at Albany during the legislative sessions, are earnestly opposed to them, for the simple reason that if they once be- | come a part of the constitution their occupations will be, like Othello’s, gone forever, and, as @ con- | sequence, their periodical rich hauls from the public treasury, It is for this reason, probably, that not the slightest effort far made by either the republican or democratic wire-pullers to impress; upon the people their vital {mportance to the future weltare of the State. However, during the past few weeks or- ganizations, not political, have taken upon them- selves the task which by right, were tie political Managers, espectally in the country districts, de- sirous of doing their whole duty, should hi already been performed by the politicians. The Ohamber of Commerce and the Board of Trade of this city during the past week have not only recommended their adoption by the people, but have taken measures to have ballote 1m favor of the amendments distributed freely at every poll- ing place. Probaply not one person in ten in the State has a clear idea as to what changes in the prevent constutation Will (ollgw thelr adoptign, It, has oeen thus | rt re nr near 70,000. | for the correct manner in whicts his payrolls were | Campbell is @ lawyer, about thirty-five yedts will be of interest, therefore, to voters generally to Know exactly WHAT THE AMENDMENTS ARR, 4nd that in Voting upon them they can reject any articular amendment they do uot flnd to their iking, as the law passed May 6, 1874, to provide ek eeubmitting of the amendments to the eled of the state reads that ‘each voter may Present a baliot, on which shall be written or rinted, form folk or partly written or partly printed, in the lowing,” namely :— ropositions on this ballot which are not cans ink or pencil; and aguinst all which are o¢ For the “ suffta a proposed amendments to article 2 “relative to gor the proposed amendment to article 3 part L, Legisiatur faniza @ and its org: tion,” section | to 8 im thi proposed amendment to article 3, part IT. “powers and forms of My tio EE Legislature,” being sectivns 17 4 inte to article 4, ‘tne Gov.

Section 19 forbids the Legislature taking the lace o1 the courts or administrative departments In the audit or allowance Of private claims. Mr. L, Braalord Prince, in bis pamphiet on the amend- ment, states that this provision, while doing away with many of the items of the “Supply bill,’”? wub probably lead to the establishment or ere | of some court or board to audit and adjudica' claims against the State. Section 24 forbids the granting of extra compen- sation to public officers, servants or contractors. Sections 18 and 23 relate to @PECIAL AND LOCAL LEGISLATION. The eighteenta section limits the power of the Aires in the passage of private or local pilis, and the twenty-third puts in stronger language, by the use of the word “shall,” the authority ranted iu the present constitution to conter on oards Of supervisors powers Of local legislation and administrauon. ‘The passage of this amendment, in the opinton of Mr. Prince, will be the death knell O1 the iobby; for the bilis that ‘have mopey in them”? are not the general acts for the government of the State, but the special charters and tue bills relating t¢ local improvements, &c., woich are to be oi cor: | porate or individual benefit. ‘Destroy spectal leg: | islation,’? he says, ‘and you take away the occasiog of corruption aad at one blow relieve the Legisia. ture from the improper influences which have gathered around it.” THE GOVERNOR.

Two relate exclusively to the canals and two to the general finan interests ofthe State, Section 5 is amended by adding the words :—“No extra compensation shall be made to any contractor, but if, from any unforeseen @ause, the terms of any contract shail prove to be unjust aud oppressive, the Canal Board may, upon the application of the contractor, cancel such contract? THE LATERAL CANALS. Section 6 as amended is one of the highest inter- | estin connection with the canals.
