We have no doubt that if the real prefer ence of all the voters in the State were to be expressed, Mr. Gneriry would be elected by @ large majority. The only question is whether the workingmen will generally vote as they really wish {to vote, or whether, under the direction of party lenders, they will vote for the opposition candidate, There is no better Demoerat in the State than Mr. Gueriny, when the word Demo. crat ia used in fa true signification ; and no man need to be deterred by party affini ties from voting for him, “Te las a good deal of ran in him,” said Trentow Weep once, when it was talkod of nominating Mr. Greatey for a public office, Mr. Werrn’s leading characteristi: was his ability to snuffin advance the con fog popular breeze, and in this remark about Mr. Gierrvy he showed that he understood the instinets ofthe people.

How Americans use Money. While it: fs perfectly trae that Americans are, as @ nation, excessively addicted to money getting, it is equally trae that they are generous in spending their money when it is gotten. The promptcontr. butions mad An this city, for instance, during the past few weeks, for the family of Gen, Rawiins and the victims of the Avondale disaster, are but the most receut of the proofs, which we ar constantly recording, that a great many so called dollar-worshippers are always ready to sacrifice their asserted deity upon the altar of suffi riig fellow haman'ty, or to express their appreciation of services rendered, We tax ourselves only tuo freely to carry on the operations of our Government ; we support voluntarily schools, churches, misstonariox and works of pablic improvement ; and Uae pumber of men who resemble L om COOPHA, Ezna Conxeit, and Gronox Pranovy in wisely preferring to make their benefac tions during their lives, rather than trust the uncertain agency of executors, is & " Garge that it constitutes a distinctive feature of our social life, In some cases this seeming goverosity may be, as there reason to believe it was in the case of some among thy donors of money to a distinguished national officer, only a calculation of selfishness look ing to a fature return of the investme usually it can be attributed to nothin but a genuine desire to belp one's Gitizens when they neod assistance. Indeed, this very activity of Americans in the creation of wealth, which is mode a ro proach against them, is really based upon a comparatively noble impulse, and has « pra-cally useful end, Few of our richost men are actuated by sordid avarice the mer dosire of getting for the sake of having au! keeping money, ‘They ary bent on achiovioy fome great work in the world, or are amoi thous to display greater kill and evergy in Dusiness than their competitors.

They now wantto be the greatest meroliants’ or manufacturers or real estate ownersip the country—not merely the richest men ; and, a6 we nee, they continue their operations long after the profite of them cease to bear a due pro- portion to the labor and rirk involved in them.

An Extraordinary Charge against Two of our Judges, Tt is said that a turtle will live nine days with its head cut off, but it is not supposed during this time to be a remarkably intelli gent animal, The New York Timea still survives, although Mr, Brar.ow, who suzy plicd its brains, was long since severed from the concern, ‘The Zines keeps pawing trying to seratch some one, but is about as blind and witless in its efforts as a decapitated turtle, The Ties brings forward a novel accu. ation against Judge BaRNann and Judge Canpozo, Tt mays that these genttemen have been to Tammany Hall and nominated Mr. Buapy for Justice of the Supreme Court ; and the 7imes adds that “Judge Brady ws an excellent man andan excellent Judge.” Now it does not appear to us that the act of Judge Bannanp and Judge Canpozo, for which the Zimea is 80 abusive of them, is censurable at all; bat, on the contrary, that itis highly commendable. We want excel- lent men and excellent Judges on the bench of the Supreme Court; and if Judge Ban- NaAnD and Judge Canvozo have done sc thing to put such a man there, it is the last thing for which they deserve to be Mlamed. The 7imes, with as much show of reason, might denounce them for paying their honest debts or for saying their prayers, We have known certain leaders of ‘Tam many—especially Gov. HorFMAN and OAKBY Hatt—to be guilty of one atrocious inter. torence with the administration of the law in this city, That was in the case of a youn man imprisoned at Sing Sing for an of of which he bad not been can. vieted, or #0 much even as indicted and tried, His imprisonment was clearly in violation of the Constitution of the State. ‘The political interference to prevent his lib. cration Was unwarranted, and in our judg: ment ought to render those who interfered, for more personal and partisan objects, infa mous. The people should remember that act ngainst them-—and they will be reminded of it—if these men should ever again be didates for popularsupport.

We do not expect to have as good a ju diciary, generally, under our elective aystem, as we might expect if the Judges held their offices during good behavior, Horrma: Hans, and Tween hold the fate of Judges in this district in their hands, But we do not know of any case in which Jadge Bannary and Judge Cannozo have disregarded the established principles. of law, or the authority justly duo to adjudicated cases. Whatever faults or failings are attrib utable to the beuch today belong to the elective system, It is poor encouragement to Judges to do right, if the example set by tho Times is to he followed, and they are to be maligned for the purest and Lest acts of their lives. aw Mr. Ricuanp O'Brien, & member of Breklayers’ Union No, 2, is the Workingm candidate for the Senate from the Beventh Di trict, The obscure morning journal which pre- tends to be a workingmen’s organ, but which hus used the trade unions in the interest of the ‘Tammany Ring, supports Joun J, Branuer, who was a member of the body that choked the bill propriety under such cireumstances, — There are indications that a new set of gold operators bave entered the field, and are speculating for a rise on a large scale, if not pre- paring to muke @ corner in the market, The breaking of the last greet Ring has sent gold down toa point from whente @ reaction may be naturally expected; and as there are but @ tew millions afloat, outside of the Treas. ury, it would) be comparttively easy to turn this tendeney to good advantage.
