Corletion 8 Weod's Museum Will there be a Riot? Mary people suppose there will bea terri. ble riot on election day. They expect that the supervisors of election and the deputy marshals appointed under the act of Con- grees will come into collision with the polico and people of this city; that United States troope—of whom it is said that several thou sands are being assembled at Governor's Is. Jand—will be called in, and that extensive bloodshed will follow. We don't believe a word of it. In the first place, the object for which the law was passed by Congress, and the inspec tors and marshals appointed, is right and Inudable. It is to prevent fraudulent voting and counting, to secure honesty in the elee tion. There is no crime more dangerous to the community than false voting and false count ing. It nullifies the will of the people, n free institutions a fraud, and sets up the meanest kind of tyranny—the despotisin of cheating—in the place of democratic govern ment. It must be put down, and honest men of all parties ought to Le grateful to Congress for attempting to put it down, The law may have imperfections; that can be determined only by experience ; but its pur pose is good, and good men should earnestly desire that in its working it may prove per fectly successful. No opposition to it can tome from any upright citizen of any party So far os thie class of men ere concerned, there is no danger of a riot Neither is there any danger from the roughs and repeaters who do the Lidding of the Tammany Ring. A riot would work more injury to Tammany than to any other set of politicans. This city is the strong- hold of the Tammany party, end a riot on election day, reducing their majorities, vitia ting the returns from this part of the Siate, and finally resulting in the rejection of can didates who would otherwise be declare! elected, something that Tammany will take particular care to avoid. ‘Therefore let those who are frightened beforehand by the bugbear of a riot, dismiss el their terrors ‘There ie no reason to fear any unusual dis turbance at the election, Every anaifod voter will lave full liberty ig deposit his ballot ; and we trust tust the result will be an Lonest a2 well as a peaceful election se 1 and Health, Whatever may be the merits of the con troversy between the Board of Health and the General commanding this department, the Chairman of the Board, in his ably. written reply to the Gencral 8 published on the 19th inst., makes an exposure which we trust will result in benefit to the private soldier by directing public attention to his most urgent needs, If recruits for the army are compelled to live in dark, nolsome gun rooms, dripping with moisture; if men whose ordinary health must have been perfect to insure their entrance into the service at all, are quartered in places that undermine that health forever, it is surely full time that the War Department should be so informed, that it may apply a remed For evidence in proof of these facts Dr. Creeanint, the Chairman, quotes from offi cial documents furnished by the army itself Itappears that forthe wantof suitable build ings it has been for cy Sen.

It is the dis triet where the Scn office is situated, and its representative is, in a certain ecnse, our ropresentative, Four candidates are elrendy in nomina- tion in this district. There is our clever, Wack-eyed friend Eritan ALLEN, nominated by the Republicans; the tall and grace. ful Jonn Fox, of the Young Demoe racy; the veteran Morcan Jones, cel ebrated for the lavislness of his election expenses, the standard-bearer of Tammany ; and our handsome, genia), well-dressed friend Citizen Rooskvett, who has been nominated by the so-called Democratic Union. Here are candidates enough, cer- tainly; but among them all, it is more than doubtful whether the beet man can be elect. ed. Accordingly, we nominate a new one, on whom the friends of all the four may cor dially combine, and whose success may thus be placed beyond all doubt. Our man is that distinguished young lawyer Gen.

We were like the old and the young frogs of the fable,when the two bulls were fighting in the meadow. Whether King or Kaiser got the upper band, we were threatened with being trampled by the victor, or perhaps handed over as a compensation to the vanquished. Both repre: nted despotisms, and though a united Germany under a free and p ceful government was highly desirable for the ermans themselves, and for the tranquillity of their neighbors, what did it signify to us that William and Bismarck had all Germany at their beck, except to make matters worse by rendering them more powerful and dangerous?
