The rank and file of the volanteers, the lowest senm probably which could be collected in any corner of the earth, make money by private pilfering and public rob- Dery. This is what the Spaniards are fighting for—money—nothing but money. If slavery be abolished by the triumph of the Cuban Republic, no more bribes or profits from the infamous slave trado will be possible, no more false registers of births or deaths re quired; and the numberless host of the slave-traders’ hangers-on will find their oc- cupations gone forever. And this is the cause which the United States not only pas- sively tolerate, but have been, and are at pre- sent, effectively assisting!

Mr. Mayer is a Democrat, Mr. Fisiirr a Republican. The contest is between the citi- zens ané@ an organization that exists only through corruption and misappropriated taxes. This samo organization worked pri- vately to defeat Mayor Kavnrierscn, who has always stood between them and the tnaasury. The defeat of their ticket is the destruction of the Ring and the salvation of the taxpayer Mr. McCve is one of the wealthy men of Brooklyn. He inherited much, and has mado more by jobs and speeniations while he represented the city as Corporation Counsel and previously.

They re- fuse to nominate candidates for this election be- cause they say that the Police Commissioners do not mean that the votes shall be honestly counted. Judge Boswonra is President of the Commission, Will he not interfere and prevent any villainy of that kind? He is a good man, with a high char- acter. Can he consent to the frauds which aro said to be intended ? a A letter from Governor HorrMaN appears in some of the morning papers of Saturday, in ro- ply to a private communication from an officer of one of our local fire insurance companies, on the subject of a bill that was passed by the re- cent Legislature, This bill requires fire insur- ance companics of foreign countries to com- ply with the laws of our State, the same as the local companics and those of other States of the Union.

Would it not be well for Mr, Sesxer, as a Senator, to take some measures toward restoring to the Navy that civilian adwiuistration in which, as he declares, he recoguizes the genius of the Republic ? ——— If any citizen is defrauded of his vote to- morrow by the inspectors and canyassers, who will be responsible for the crime?
