Our Charter Election.

The turnout of Wing voters TO their Ward Meet
ings on Monday evening was such as to assure us
that New-York might now be carried plainly Tor
Clay and Wing Measures if it were not for the local
influence and organization known as American
Republican, This will doubtless take more votes
this Spring from our side than from our opponents,
las great part of their force consists of Adopted
Citizens, who are not likely to be carried away by
the hobby, and render the general result of the
b. Charter Election quite uncertain. The Natives
M talk confidently OF carrying the City Tammany
# chuckles at The movements of the party which
her own management has created, and feels secure
OF retaining her hold on the Spoils and the
Whgs-wha, shall we say of them They might
carry the City, but ,ciN they7 That is question.
One point we rejoice to know, is se,ted-that the
Wings will run a clean ticket for Mayor and Ward
Officers in every Ward, give it fair and manly sup
port, and await the result in cheerful confidence
No matter which party succeeds this Spring, are
of victory in the Fall five simply stand TO our
arms now, and-a of us who are not smitten with
the new hobby-just nominate good Wing tickets
and vote them No one, surely, can have just cause
10 complain of this course and we have never yet
seen any safer course for party than to vote Its
own candidates, provided always they are good ones
We hear, indeed that it will be too much sacrifice
10 ask strong to run for Mayor-that. TO
OBTAIN SUCH man, he must be promised some vaua-
Die remembrance for it al future day. Can il be
soi We will not believe it. For our own part we
are confident that any man worthy to be Mayor will
consider the nomination and support of the Wing
party full and generous recompense in itself, and
We hope not TO be asked to vote for any man who
does not so consider il.
CoTToN.-A correspondent, who has spent the
last four or Ave months IN travelling through the
less observed portions of the South writes u.s. as
the result Of hs observations, that the deficiency
of the Cotton crop has been greatly exaggerated.
He estimates it as follows: Bales
Receipts OF last crop at New Orleans. .725, 900
Do. g /" Mobile . 425, 900
Other ports at least GOO
Total ..................,.....l,65 $4,000
Or about l50, 600 short
He says the Planters are generally in improved
circumstances, have profted by the recent rise,
and will add largely TO their force and their area
OF ground planted next season. so that an unpar-
alleled crop IN 1914 may be confidently antici-
patcd.

tons now making were shutting up our work
shops, and throwing our Artisans out Of employ
ment, as in former years, we should lament rather
than rejoice over them. Such is very far from
the fact. An intelligent day-laborer assures us
that there is not now good Weaver, Mailer or
Stone Cutter out of work in our City, and the ac
tvity OF Industry is general. We have always
insisted that we should have more Commerce, be-
cause we would have more Production and more
