mains for the political witches OF both parties to
perform their incanialons early IN May.
In addition IN the trouble about throwing out the
calico tickets m the Sh ward, and the knocking
over the balo, boxes in the 9Th ward, it seems that
there are two new sources Of trouble sprung up in
relation to the next corporation. In the first place,
Allerton, the wing candidate for assistant alderman
IN the 18th ward, has declared that he is not a resi-
dent OF that ward, that he only accepted the nomi-
nation because he thought that it was good for no
thing, and that he wouldn't serve on any account.
OF the fac, OF non residence, aifidavits have been
made, and OF course that vitiates his election. This
would have given the locofocos a majority OF one
IN Joint ballot; but unfortunately for them, the loco
loco candidate tor assistant alderman in the 9Th
ward declares that he does not think thathe is hon:
estly elected, and that therefore he cannot conscien-
tiously swea. in.
This is a curious state of things, and leaves both
parties just as they were, with a tie ia botn DO ards
when they meet, and there they are likely to remain
till May, 1915
When the new board assemble TO be sworn in, Of
course all three candidates in the Oh ward, Shaler,
Ferris, and CIolius, all three obstinate men, Will
present themselves to take the oath. And OF course
the Mayor, being also an obstinate or firm man, will
not administer the oath to either Of them. The re-

he is the favorite by odds, and that he will be -

the most beautiful and brilliant riots imaginable-all
of which will undoubtedly come oil about the mid
die Of May, as they cannot be postponed any later.
Al for little Rhode Island, she needn't enter the
field, as she can do nothing worth mentioning by the
side of New York.
The prize is certainly worth contending for. And

cofocos desperately poor and in debt, who want to
retain their places; they will also make a good fight.
And so, between the two, we shall have a most
beautiful battle, and probably a series Of riots une-
qualled in the annals of this country.
As TO the result, we verify believe that the great
body of the respectable wings and locofocos care
but little; SO ~disgusted are they with the selfishness
and mad tricks of their partizan leaders on both
sides. There is no doubt that the ~locofocos really
have a majority in this city. They may technical
ly have lost the Common Council by their own
ROBUSTNESS and quarrels, but there is no question
but that they have a moral, and numerical majority
III this city. The dispute will turn on mere minor
points, and yet or these very points the Office hol-
ders and Office beggars would fighttil doomeday.-
In the mean time, the respectable and quiet portion
OF our citizens will look on and exclaim-
Strange that such difference there should be
'Twixt tw eedledun and tweedledee."
New MAIL ARRANeEMESr.-The great Southern
Mail TO New Orleans, which has heretofore closed
in the afternoon, very much TO the accommodation
OF the Evening papers, will in future close at half
past seven o'clock A. M for the benefit. of the morn
ne press. A mail will be made up as usual for
Washington and the intermediate cities, TO close a,
halfpast three p. NJ, but this mail viii not reach the
great southern cities sooner than the morning maipof
next day. Hereafter, we will receive the Washing
ton news, up to five o'clock; on the next day at two
o'clock-besides a morning mail from Washington
on the same night at twelve o'clock.
These arrangements will sscntially benefit all the
cash morning papers, that have large editions. We
will then be enabled 10 serve our city subscribers as
early as they please.
TIVE CASE OF NICHOLAS BpDLE.-There is a good
deal Of anxiety in certain quarters for the termina-
ion nd decision in this case. It the Court of Ses-
SONS in Philadel phia should decide to have him and
his colleagues sent to the G rand Jury for indictment,
1t will be the beginning Of a grand criminal move

politicians, perchance up to Governor Porter him
self, will be hauled over the Goals of criminal Justice.
