It is calculated that a fraction more than | 203 votes will be polled every minute throughout the J,n}, thers being just 615 minntes between the "almanae time of sunrise and suveet. - We wish that | . Abe time of closing the palls could be estonded, sod ‘thu an entire vote assured beyond possible peradven. ture; but, as the case stands, it seems plain that the | polls will be full the greater partof the day. There " _can be no fear, however, that any vote will be lost if evory voter does his duty, No voter aware of the wolemn jmportance of his canse and his vote will . { grudge a temporary trial of ks patience, if avy such trial bo at all necessary; but, by no weans, let any | “one fail to vote. 'We urge all who attend the polla to | s overy needful economy of the act of voting, but . fbo sure that their part of the harvest is safely gathered- ; Vote carly, and thus avoid crowd and dclay. Judges to use thoso of 1865, In this case the Gov- ernor’s party would, probably, hereafter claim that the election was illegal, ~though the pre- text for the claim wowld be their own illegal action. However this may be, we congratulate the Union men of Daltimore upon the firmness and moderatien by which they bave triumphed. With right on their side they had no reason to resort to force, and have poaceably waintained that right by the aid of the Courts. Judge Bond interfered to pre- sorve the peace, and by prompt action no doubt pre- vented a conflict. Judge Bartol's decision that the writ of habeas corpus was not required to bereturned un- til three days from its issue, is the more honorable to his integrity and judgment as he was claimed as ‘'8 Rebel Judge,” and expected to wrest the law to serve the new Commissioners. Law and order have won & signal victory, and oven the friends of Gov. Swann and the President refused to sustain the usurpation they threatened. The Conservatives of Baltimore have no right to censure Gens. Grant and Canby; they had better abuse the laws which these soldiers respected. We have nows by the Atlantic Cable of another great battle between the Paraguayans and the Allies, resulting in the defeat of the latter with heavy loss, and 50 complete a demoralization of their army that Floros bad been compolled to retreat upon Monte- video, operations being, for tho time, altogether susponded. The genius of Lopez, seconded by the bravery of his soldiers, is manifestly in the ascendant. e Gen. J. A. Mower has been assigned by Gen. Sheri- dan to the command of Louisiana, and is an admirable appointment. Gen. Mower was one of the officers appointed to investigate the causes of tho massacro in Now-Orleans, and one of the signers of the celebrated roport. He served with distinction during the war, and has the reputation of a good fighter and a prudent and upright man. The Mexican Ministor in Washington has received a letter from Vera Cruz which announces the formal resignation of the Emperor Maximilian. This event has for a long time been hourly expeoted, but as nothing is stated yet about the character of the source from which the news of the formal resignation is derived, we think it lacks confirmation. The Em- pire has long been in extreme agony; in afew days, at most, wo shall know whethor it is really dead. Both Maximilian and Louis Napoleon have had to pay dearly for the attempt to ** reorganize the Latin race’ on the American Continont. ‘When The London Times quotes the existence of corruption in the Government of the City and Stato of New-York as a reason why political power should not be given to the masses in England, it makes a sorry display of logic; but the fact that it employs such an argument to inspire a horror of & frec govern- ment has a moral for our citizens which they would do well to ponder and profit from. They who vote in such a way as to uphold corruption, either in our municipal or State Government, aro not only dis- gracing the Republic before the world, but are helping to obstruet freedom in other lands, Mr. Oakey Hall, and Messrs. Tammany Hall, in their attack upon the Rights of Challengers, have been defeated by the laws of the State, which are quoted in Superintendent Kennedy's order. All voters should read this important document, else- where published, and Mr. Oskey Hall should study it. His pretense thatthe magistrates should sit all day to try persons arrested by order of the Board of Inspectors, is answered by the statute which declares that they shall be detained at the station-house until the polls are closed. Challengers will be protected in their right, and they should exercise it, for it is known that 15,000 mames have been placed on the registry of persons who cannot be found at the places given by them as their residences. 'We nsk 0o more than a fair election, and the law supplies every oitizen with the means of securing it. Thess means will be used, and none but the enemies of order and Justice will oppose them. ELECTION THIS DAY! Tuis DAy decides whether New-York shall retain the proud position she took in casting her Eloctoral Vote first for FrEMONT, then twice for LixcoLx, or shall sink into the embrace of the faction whereof Mayor Mouroe, Gen. Forrest avd Admirsl Semmee, are shining lights. 7The issue is to be dotermined at the polls. Are you sorry that the Rebellion is put down—tbat Slavery is dead—that the National mgis now guards the Civil Rights of every human being who iukabits our proud country? If you are, vote for Hoffman and his satellites! But if you rejoice in the triumphs of Loyalty and Liberty, show it to-day at the polls! Hundreds of Rebel soldiers will vote in our State to-day—every man of them for Hoffman, So will the thousands of deserters and draft-sneaks, with scarcely a single exception. Not so the great body of ** Boys in Blue,” who stood by their flag and their country till the Rebel rag went down at Appomattox. If you prefer the company of these, then work with a will for FENTON and his compatriots to-day ! Our adversaries hope to win by fraud, They talk of admitting loyal representatives of the South to Congress, meaning such Rebels as can be brought to admit that the Confederacy is not now in being. Their ** loyal” men are such as Monroe, Wise, Pol- lard, and Wade Hampton. They do not mean such a8 can take the oath of consistent fidelity to the Union. Be not deceived by their prevarication, but meet them to-day at the polls! O patriots of the dark years happily bygone! the spirits of the martyred dead—of ELisworTE, Wix- THROP, LyoN, BAKER, our own WADSWORTH, Bepcwick, McPHERSoN, and the revered LixcoLN—are looking down on your exertions to-day! Let them see that your step does mot falter, that your hearts gtill glow with the fires of Freedom and Humanity ! | Let them feel that the good cause to which their lives were joyfully given is safe in your bands—that it is still advancing to final and universal triumph ! RepusLicAxs! Ux10N1ST8! rest not, weary not, till your very last voter has been brought to the polls To-Day! B — THE COMING VERDICT. Maine, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Obio, Iowa and West Virginia have already brought in their ghare of the mountain of verdict against the President's policy. New-York, Maseachusetts, New- Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Miseouri, Minnesots, Kansas and Nebracks must to-day complete the assured expression of the - ‘The message of Gov. Jeukins of Georgis, of which people, almost predestined—the indignant patriot- ism of ome half of the loyal North.

The Baltimore dispute has been decided by the Omw.mmmmmuyum w‘fl'fld the new Commissioners, and the elec- | meut of our M victory for sa to-day will be conducted by the legal authorities, | honeet, able, and intrepid Congress of the people. t future trouble may be expected if, as we besr, Rogisters, who are appointed by the Govertior withhiold the Jists of 1966 aud compel tho | Prosident, all the indications bid us fairly to hope, That ten at least out of these twelye Btates will claim a majority in favor of Congress and againat EE% bardly with safety to doubt. New-York has therefore the voices of nearly all her sister States to heed against the dark counsels of ber own convicted con- spirators. Which voice will shehoeed ! Thatof Loyalty and Honesty, or Rebellion and Robbery; that for Good Government and All Men's Rights, or that for & blundering and criminal Policy, and the opprossion of our fellow mon; Union permanent and peaco confirmed, on the one hand, or, on the other, new treasons and fresh distractions? The plainest shape of the question is, Whether the people will vote for the People or the Prosident—for a popular Con- gress, or the disgraced rule of one absolute, untrust- worthy man? There must be cmphasis and volume in the verdict which New-York must render, for sho has but one honorable way to choose. WANTED IN TEXAS. Wo want more Reagans in Texas, and ovorywhere elso throughout the late Slave States. Reagan was a Rebel, and Mr. Davis's Postmaster General; but notwithstanding the diabolical influences and powers, and the extreme dangers by which he is girt in Texas, there is nobody who is speaking and writing more courageously than bo in support of Impartial Suffrage and Equality before the Law, without regard to com- plexion. If there were five hundred bold and bonest men like Mr. Reagan in his State, thero would soon be an end of the infernal legislation by which that State is cursed and kept out of the Union. It is be- causo such men are painfully rare that Reconstruc- tion goes on 8o lamely, Fow as they are, and fower as thoy have bocome under the demoralizing tempta- tions of the Presidential ** policy," they aro entitled to the warmest encouragement, such as & firm, united and loyal North cannot fail to afford them. In con- stant peril of lifo, as the Southern Loyalists are, and must be, if they are to depend upon Andrew Johnson's mere mockery of protection, they have mothing to roly upon save an honest, patriotic and intelligent Congress; for Congress has now become thoir sole, efficient safeguard. The North owos these persecuted men a groat dobt, and one way of paying it is to elect trustworthy candidates to offico. 1t is a plain question of demand and supply. Moro Roagans are wanted. How are they to bo secured Cortainly not by sbowing the white foather at the North. Wo have had a fine physical victory over Treason, and now it is to be decided whethor treason shall have a fine moral victory over us. Can we pro- toct honestly repentant Rebels against tho unbridled malice of their unregenerate neighbors? If not, then we have conquored in vain—the real victory is with Rebellion. But more than this. As a people, we should be noble, not mean; chivalrous, not base; true and faithfal, not false and treacherous. Every vote for Fenton is & vote to make more Reagans in the South, and to protect them subsequently, while every vote for Hoffman is a vote to shoot, bang, tar and feather them, to destroy their property, aud to drive them from their homes. If wo do not stand by the cause here, while men at the peril of their lives are standing by it in Texas, the cloud which there is now 10 bigger than a man's band, will shortly darken our whole sky, and real pacification will only come after another campaign, and possibly only after another series of campaigns, anything but short, and every- thing that is sanguinary. ENGLISH DREAD OF “AMERICANIZING' INFLUENCE. Gen. Neal Dow's presence at the late Reform De- monstration in Glasgow, has been a cause of offonse to certain parties in England, who profess to fear that advantage will be taken of the circumstance by tho Tories to try and persuade the British public that the real objeot of John Bright and his coadjutors in their work of Parliamentary Reform is to * Americanize” British institutions. Now, this dread of the so- called Americanizing influenco on the part of men calling themselves Liborals, is simply an absurdity, Eogland might come o o much worse pass thaz to be assimilated to the United States in ber political institutions, On the showing of the Liberals themselves, she cortainly bas not much to boast of in the practical working of her present Constitution; and if the oxcellence of a form of government is to be judged of by the fruits of that Government in the welfare and bappiness of the peo- ple, we need not fear & comparison with the old coun- try. The factis, England, if we are to judge by tho sigus of the times, will never know peace again until ske becomes Americanized in one very important respect; that is, until justice shall be done to the bulk of her people, now suffering severcly under the operation of partial aud uarighte- ous laws. The English people, it is well known, are strongly attached to monarchy, and we are not aware thatany one desires to disturh them in their choice; at any rate, tho United States has no political propa- ganda, Let England continue to enjoy her political institutions; but at the same time let the men who are laboring to reform the crying abuses and wrongs of which the people justly complain, cease to write and talk about Americanizing those institutions until, at least, they shall have carried their point. AN INGENIOUS GENTLEMAN. Mr. Bryan Tyson, whose post-office address is Box No. 1,000, Washington, D. C., announces, with exult- ing confidence, to the Southern people, that there is no longer any excuso for their being without mails. The reason why they are without them at present is that contractors are obliged by the law to take a cer- tain oath, which sticks in the crop of Southern con- tractors to that extent that not one can be found to comply with the conditions. Swearing enough is done in the South, as in the North, every day, no doubt, if every oath were a letter-carrier, to deliver all the letters that are written in the South in a year; but to the particular sort of swearing that means loyalty to the Government, the Southern braves seem to have an invincible objection, and so the letters stay uncarried. But Mr. Tyson has invented a plan, as ingenious s if ho had been born in the land of wooden nutmegs, for overcoming this difficulty. *'I will swear,” he says, “‘and thus form the connecting link between the Southern people and the United States Government.” We give the details of his ingenious dodge in his own words: “ Any person who is desirous of becoming contractor should address me at once, stating the route or routes for which he desires contracting (here state the extreme pointa to be con- nected, which of course should be on some heretofore estab- Tished line). 1 will then contract for such route or routes iu my own name, and ot them have them at o discount of 24 per cent on the annual amount for earrying the mails on such_routo or routes, which will be about 25e. per mile for s weekly, 30c. for & semi-weekly, and 75¢. for a tri-weekly mail. This arrangement will secure the routo to the sub-contractors substantially the samo as if it were his own, obtained in the usual way, where there is 80 much COMPEttion.” oo, o eomesums Pretty, isn't it? The reader may think that the Government would be displeased if it knew what Mr. Bryan Tyson proposes? Ob, no; he says he has con- ferred with proper authorities and obtained their approval, and he refers inquiring minds, by per- mission, to G. W, S8amson, D.D., LL. D., President of Columbis College, and the Hon. Charles Mason, President of the National Democratic Executive Com- mittee, also Patent Attorney, Gentlemen Contractors, walk up. Mr, Bryan Tyson s chuck full of oaths, and on the receipt of the requisite 24 per cent will at once let fly. If the blacks in the late Rebel States are unfit to vote, they are unfit to govern the North. If the ne- groes of South Caroliua are unfit to elect 8 Conata- ble, they are unfit to be represented in Congross. If the Bouth is disposed to deny all representative quality :un:wmmdm.mwmmc- An-lnl# her husinees. But when, MMWJMJM..&.&W to use that tion to swell a seotional power hos- tile to the tand its rovenue systom and tho national dobt, that is our business. Wo don't TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, I propose to ellow that to be done, aslong as we are outside of the idiot asylums. The People will stand upon the second, the Representation amendment of the Constitution, till the crack of doom. It has got to be adopted. THE DEATH OF THE RING. Manbood of New-York! vote the whole County ticket of the anti-Ring coalition, and our victory is alroady achioved. The chiefsof the Tammany-Morart Conspiracy of Pillage are shaken with terrible fore- bodings and a sense that the day of popnlar justice and popular retribution has arrived. That ““we bave them this time” at something likea disadvantage, is {he universal feeling of all honest men, irrespective of party lines; but we must DOW press forward vigor- ously, guarding all avenues of flight from the beleag- ured Wigwam, and cutting off all hope of reénforce- ment from the dying *Ring." The Four Master- spirits of the Alachine, a3 they bave lived unloved, will perish unlamented. In their day of power, they wero tyrants, only bent on selfish aggrandizement for the benefit of themselves and parasites, at the ex- pense of the people’s treasury; and now the day of reckoning finds them only cowards, afraid to face the furies they bave raised, and tossing idly in bad dreams, like England’s Richard on the night befors Bosworth field. And in this dream preceding death, what memorics of publio crimes, what ghosts of violated friendships, what moping and gibbering shadows of perjured faith, what an endless procession of just causes for popular detestation, pass before the glazing eyes of the Tam- many Ring Conspirators! Gloomily passes tho wraith of Horatio Seymour, with his head under his arm and his body bleeding from the fell punctures of the “ Broadway Railroad Jobbers,” whose scheme of iniquity ho had the virtue to voto. Pass in like mau- ner the dopple-gangers of Judges Hilton end Bos- worth, poisoned to death in their political cups for having ventured to cross the cupidity of this detested “Ring." Pass legions of wan and sickly children, done to death by miasmatic and pestilential exhala- tions from the streots, which this *‘Ring" was paid to clean (as Mr. Carr does now), but preferred pock- eting the monoy. Pass thousands upon thousands of patieutly haggard mechanics, with yot more patiently haggard familios, whose lives have been made burdens of incessant toil, penury and privation, under the sys- tem of gigantic robbery and public fraud which bas Deen organized nnder the forms of law as our Tam- many local Government. DISTRICT-ATTORNEY HALL. Does the legal agent of the doomed ‘*Ring" roally intend to say that a Police Justice aball issue his war- rant of arrest against any citizon who shall exerciso his right to challenge one whom Lo believes to be an illogal voter? Will tho Police Justices dare commit this outrage, even at Mr. Hall's dictation? Does District-Attorney Hall, because he is counsel for the Shoriff, counsel for the Commissioners of Charities and Correction, counsel for the Police Commission, maker and broaker of indictments, official adviser of pardons, which he then slanders Gov. Fenton for having issued on his advice, and general counsel to the ** Ring" of public pillage—does even he, so favored and so powerful, dare to send forth this doctrine and expect that it shall be maintained ! Must not any District- Attorney, Polico Justico or Sheriff, be liablo to im- peachment or removal by the Governor for cause who would thus dare attempt depriving every citizen of bia right to challenge illegal voters, or persons he be- lieves to bo such, at the polls? Let such a thing be done, and the last requisite argument will be laid Dbefore the Constitutional Convention, meeting next year, for a complete remodeling of our prosent legal machinery. Nearly all our Police-Justices, aud tho Sheriff as well, aro creatures of the Tammany “Ring,” which bas District-Attorney Hall for its grand adviser. But, even in the minds of “Ring" officials, the instinot of self-preservation must some- whore bring blind obedience to a pause. _— JERSEYMEN ' Your day's work to-day includos the defeat of Jack Rogora by Jonx HiLi, the election of Georae A. HaLsey in the Newark and Hudsod County district, and the choice of JomN DAVIDSON, if possible, from thoe Middlesex-Somerset district. To effoct this, you must all take hold, and Aeep hold till the work is done. Let none come over in the morning expecting to roturn in time to vote this evening; for thus a fow votes may be lost whioh will turn the scale in favor of the adversary. You neod every vote you can poll, even in the Vth District, where Camden and Amboy money and influence will bear against you. O friends across the river! your struggle is ar- duous, but you can win if you will. Resolve all together that yon wiLL ! THE MEANING OF A VOTE. A vote for Hoffman will be cast in favor of the an- repentant Rebellion which mow unblushivgly de- mands certain miscalled rights at the expense of long- suffering and meritorious loyalty; for Rebels in the Capitol at the cost of murdered rights in New-Orleans and Memphis; for a President who won bis office by loyal votes to betray them to Rebel bullets; for the candidate of the *‘Ring," which bas made the oity bleed at every poro of its purse; for a worse kind of * Ring" Mayor, one of our notori- ous Aldermen, who must succeed Mr. Hoffman, should he be chosen Governor; for the *‘Ring" enthroned at Albany, in collusion with the * Ring" at New-York, and circling every opportunity to plun- dor and debauch the State by the overthrow of every wholesome safeguard of the public money, health and morals. GOING THE WHOLE HOG. Mr. A. J. Requier, an Alabama Rebel, who has migrated to this city, and is bere a shining light of Sham Democracy, has just delighted Gen. Slocum and other Brooklyn Democrats by a spoech for Hoffman, wherein ho demonstrated, according to The Daily News: “ First ;: That en orzanization which is based in the purpose of enforcing moral ideas by law is, under the Constitution of the United , which positively interdicts that fleld to the {ogislator, and from the very ty of the case, & conspiracy against that Constitution, and not. in say case, & political party under it. Hence that the wholo Radical party 15, logally con- sidered, o tremendous conspiracy, the inovitable tendency of whose sdmitted object 15 to destroy the Government pwv{dnd amcum-na-, and to substitute for it o Government of o] HI,‘!;.“ thi ha right to * Secondly : " ve no right either the amendment in g l‘z any mwmumm’ffi: Southern States, as the terms on which they will restore to those States their representation in the Senate, becausoe that N"fllflhtl_ has not ouly never been lawfully taken aw: DUk cannot bé taken away, tho Constitition haviug placed i n.:r of the mmknpm- exception, in the amenda. use, beyond even the power of amendment. It follows that what even & ‘ and adopted amendment conld not do, the act of ¥r. McPherson did not sccomplish ; and that hence the offer of the Rump Cougress to restore to the South what they have not taken, and cannot Constitutionally take from the Soutb, is simply an offer to restore stolen prop- erty to the rightful owner upon conditions preseribed by the thief, and aro ouly an aggravation of the outrage committed.” ~This Mr. Requior, wo understand, was Mr. Bu- chanan's District-Attorney for Alabama up to the time whea he became an avowed Rebel. Buch genins and legal profundity as he evinces are irrepressible, and we expoct to see him made Attorney-General about the time that Hoffman ia elected Governor, T Voters of New-York! who value the fair fame of your City and State; who count your wrong taxes as 40 many arguments against the frand which robs you in order to bribe itself into perpetuity; who ask for faithful servents, so that the Btate shall be economi- oally sdministered, and the oity purged of its sloven officiala and vulgar and villainous abuses, bo sure to oontribute your vote to the work of Reform ia City, State and Nation. Wo undorstand that the Polios have mado full preparation to compare Uy dato of etk oity liconses for 86# carts, expresscs, hacks, raurona cews, stages, &c., with tho date of the naturalization papers receotly taken out by drivers; and should any license ante- date a naturalization certificate the possessor thereof will be promptly arrested. Hackmen and others will not fail to note that the reward for an arrested at- tempt to vote can be claimed in all such cases. A. JOHNSON ON CONSERVATISM.

Fenton that “ his wholesale pardon of eriminals makes him socountable, to a great extent, fo rge increase of crime in this city dur- ing tho laat two — Now, the returns rocently published prove that Gov. Fenton has pardoned fewer criminals than oither of his threo predecessors did in the course of their first term. The facts are in a nutshell; the evi- dence of mathematical precision. Instead of ** whole- salo pardon,” Gov. Fenton has not pardoned ome- twentieth of the convicts in prison under his rulo. How can The Sun justify such an outrageous calum- ny, uttered whon too late to be refuted and counter- acted? Will it make the attempt? Thurlow Weod—a bitter enemy of Gov. Fenton— declares, as the sum of his long familiarity with Exec- utive proceedings in our State, that pardons have been granted more sparingly than they should have been. And in that opinion we concur. The Sun explains the Baltimore conflict as follows: “The old Police Commissioners of Daltimore refuss to allow any ‘Rebel sympathizers,’ otherwise Peace Democrats, to vote, and the new Commissioners are in favor of making uo distinetion.” — Surely, The Sun must know that it is the State Constitution which disfranchises ** Robel sympathizers” —exprossly prescribing that they shall not vote, All that *“the old Comnissioners " have done was to ap- point Inspectors of Elections who would obey the Con- stitution, *The new Commissioners” may, indeed, b * in favor of making no distinction;" but, if so, they aro in favor of defying and subverting the State Con- stitution. ‘What i3 this but perjury and rebellion? The Sun says that 15,000 Baltimoreans are disfran- chised by tho restriction. Possibly so; and Swann is now Governor by virtue thereof. Baltimore gave him about 15,000 votes to 3,000 for his rival. Had Rebel sympathizers voted in '64, McClellan would have car- ried the State, and Swann never been Governor. Will The Sun tell its readers the truth? — The New-York Times, in supporting Oakey Hall's atrocious letter to the Police Magistrates, says: “ With tho Boards of Regiatry, the business of sifting pretea: wions begina and ends. Having his name upon the Registry liat, the voter's 14 8o longer open fo dispute. The question of entit, remains to be considered ‘when the time for S STl Tuipectors may lavuly regern Y —Tho law is directly the reverse of this. Each voter may be challenged at the poll, and, if challenged, must take the general oath that he possesses the legal qualifications of an elector. Not ouly his identity but his right to vote must bo affirmed and established. “ Having his name on the registry list" proves that ho formally elaims to be a legal voter; it may never- theless appear that be is not. And, if he has registered when he is not a legal votor, instead of being entitled to votoon that registration, he is entitled to a year's imprisonment as a er diors and sailors of the Union, is appointed to be held ot the Cooper Institute on Thursday evening of the present week.

NorymAN STRATTON, a public man of undoubted charaoter and ability, and with many advantages of his intelligence and esperience above his Democratic competitor, is the regular Republican candidate tor Assembly in the 1Xth District. If elected, wo are sure of an acquisition to the honorablo and earnest The Republicans ot the XVIIIth District will be worthily represented in the next Legislature if voters are as true to themselves as the party has been to them in the nomination of the Hon. Geo. F. Noyes for Assembly, A candidate of well-known merits has been presented for their suffrages, whose election will undoubtedly be a gain in every way. — The papers to-day will be filled with false statoments in regard to our candidates, The trick is old, but may deceive some. Let every voter remem- ber that, if such statements had any trutb, they would not have been kept back to the day of election. Some of these lies we shall no doubt have to expose in an evening edition, but they should need no refutation. Avy intelligent voter can detect the forgery, Soldiors in the late war never hesitated when o frowning line of earthworks confronted them, brist- ling with Rebel cannon. They cbarged in the rain of shot and shell, and the living, leaving the dead on the field, gloriously planted the Flag of the Union on the walls of Petersburg and Richmond. After what these brave men have done for the Union, who now shall let trifles—a storm, & business engagement, & pleasure trip—prevent him from attending the polls! Yot wo foar that in every district when the polls close there will be some who will not have dis charged the imperative dmty of citisenship, who il drrta sl it e o the sy ‘We have done our best to set forth the great prin- oiples of the canvass which ends to-day, and have (aithfully prescnted all the facts which illustrate them.

Taking this view of Conservatives, the South can have no difficulty in taking her true position upon for candidates *‘supported by Democrats,” aad shall doubtless do so hereafter. But we do say that the support for Congress of the regular candidate of the Hoffman Democrats against the candidate nominated and supported by the Fenton Republicans, is glaringly inconsistent with The Times's professions of seting with the Republicans and desiring their sucoess. ‘Wherein are we wrong? How can the ‘support of Thomas E. Stewart, the Hoffman candidate, against CrARLES 8. SrENCER, Republican, be reconciled with The Times's professed loyalty to the Republican cause ? No such clemency was ever shown to treason aad rebellion as the People, through their Congress, have offered the South. Exacting noindemnity for the past, they only demand security for the future. The unregistered voter has forfeited his right—ths least he can do to redeem his carelessnoss, or it may be his misfortune, is to soo that those who are rogia- tered go to the polls. 14,740 registered voters in this city did not vote in 1864. Allow that 4,740 of these were either challenged, or unavoidably prevented from going to the polls there were 10,000 who, after taking the first step to discharge their duty, made it useless by neglecting the second. The majority of these were Union voters. Depend upon it, the full Democratic vote will by polled to-day. It must be met by our own. B Every Union man who throws away his vots ine sults the principles he believes in. Vote! if you are sinoere, The Democrats are spreading a report that they do n't intend to vote in this city, to show their anget at the victory of the Police Commissioners in Balti- more. Let no voter be deceived by this cunning pre- text—they are more likely to show their anger by voting twice. Tnfluential citizens of the IXth Assembly Distriot, whose names wero signed to a letter recommending Mr. Polbamus, repudiate him, Norman Stratton is the Union candidate. There is one thing that Andrew Johnson does know s woll as any man in this country. He knows what & majority is. He knows that behind a majority is & controlling force! Show him this power to-dsy! Confront him with it, and see the speedy change from a dictator to a suppliant. AN AUGEAN STABLE—THE REGISTERS OFFICE. One good reason for changing the administration of the office of Register is well known to all lawyers; namely, the notorious double charging of fees and other official wrongs, as now practiced under Registor McCool, the Domoeratic candidate for redlection. This gentloman has, for his own purposes, political or otherwise, demanded of his clerks their eutire pay for a whole month—an suda- clous extortion, against which & number of them havo rebelled, and which sufficiently shows the desperation of his case. The compensation in this office for scarches out of hours is a rogular detailed systom of extorting moncy un- dor false pretenses. The actual practice is this: Every application for & search is entered in its order, to be taken up in turn; but persons in hasteare enabled to have theic names placed in advance by paying & special foe for “ searches out of hours,” which, however, are prineipally performed ix hours, and require less trouble than appli- cants conjecture. At least one of the assistants of McCool, on whom de pends confidentially the sggrandizement of his master, was in the habit of taking prepaid papers, so marked, and rubbing out the mark “ paid,” and charging foes thereon asif they had not been paid,thus robbing the city piecomesl, and in the same way amassing the corrupt fortunes which every year go to bribe our city politics, Another extor- tion, and a viler one, resulted from the practice of the clerk receiving half the fee as his compensation, the Reg- ister taking the other half. It appears to be now the prac- tice to make a fictitious entry on the papers of sn amoust of which the elerk is to receive & supposititious half, whereas the actual receipt is considerably larger, thus de- frauding the clerk. The only way to deal with the systematized uncleanness and dishonesty of the Register's office is to elect 8 candie date pledged to reform its abuses, Such a one is the in- dependent candidate, supported alike by Democrats sad Republicans—Gen. Charles G. Halpine, —— THE FENIANS VS. MAYOR HOFFMAN. A person signing himself **Edward L. Carey” bss issued a ‘‘last card,” pretending that he was the messen- ger of the Fenians whom Mayor Hoffman harsbly repudi- ated some months sgo, and characterizing s truthful circular put forth by Fenians as & fraud of the Radicals. Every Fenian voter will carefully note several facts: 1. That Mr. Carey (if his signature be genuine) does nob distinetly state thathe was the wmessenger in question; 24, He does not deny that Mayor Hoffman did refun 0 proside at an Irish meeting, beld without refereuce 0 party. Every leading Fenian in authority is well aware that Mr. Hoffman utterly rejected them, whatever be the charactcr of his act; and, although this charge agaiost the Mayor is now & month old, it has not yet beea with any authority whatever. Mr. Charles H, Kitehel, the regular Union-Republicsn Sominee for the Assembly in the Nineteenth Assembly District, composed of parts of the 19th sad 23 Wards, is bravely contesting his District with the Hon. Joba E Develin, the Tammany and Mozart ** Ring” candidate. ‘Within the Jast day or two, Dr. Semuel D.
