nsw-wHAr Is 10 N DONE ITO morrow evening
ths primary elections Of ths democracy take place
al over the sity There are two calls in conflict
with cash sthsr-oAe signed by "Wm. Murray,
chairman pro tem.; A. 8. Vosbrgh and ]. G.
Smith, secretaries pro tenn" The other is signed
by the regular officers Of the General Committee
"Augustus Sehell, chairman, and Jonas B. Philips
and Joseph Hilton, sscretaries," and other members
Of the Committee, making in all thirty one, or
q majority Of the whole Committee. This an
nouncement recognizes the call Of the 9Th Of August
as the only regular and legal one. The call of the
majority will, doubtless, prevail in the greater num-
Der Of the wards But it is equally certain that In
some of the wards the minority win have the upper.
hand and in others they win make bold struggle
for the mastery. The rum and rowdy influences
win be brought to bear, and to most riotous pro-
eeediDgs may be expected in several Of the wards.
In this struggle, the majority of the Committee,
headed by the regular officers, are likely to prevail
in the end, the legality being on their side. The
acts of the majority of the Committee the acts
Of the Committee, and the acts of q minority are
not recognized But there viii be a fierce contest
tomorrow night and it is to be hoped that the po-
lice will be on hand to do their duty, and prevent
the effusion of blood.
It is possible that the rum and rowdy organize
ton may prevail, and carry all before it to morrow
evening, vi ct arxns; it may be that the sober,
good sense of the people will offer it an eectual
sistance. But whatever may be the result Of the
present primary elections, respectable men-men OF
standing and character in the communty-ought to
come together promptly, and take measures to put
An end to all primary elections in future, unles,
thoroughly reformed.
These organizations, in their present state, arc
utterly corrupt, rotten to the CORE and ncurable.
They are equally diseased in both the PARTIES and if
there rs any difference, the wings are the worst.
The same bullies-the same fighting men-the same
emigrant runners, baggage smashers and dospera-
Does sell themselves to both the parties by turns,
rather are hired and commanded by double dyed
scoundrels who in the capacity of undcrtakers and
managers, sell the offices to the highest bidders,
and by dint of hard fighting, secure the nomina-
tions to the wealthiest rascals who pay best, no
matter what may be their character qualifications
In canvassng the claims Of the respective candi-
dates, the only arguments admissible are OF the
knockdown species Of logic, which are found, for
the most part, to be very convincing with the imd
the pacific the cowardly, and all who do not
carry bowie knives and revolvers.
The melancholy part Of the business is not SO
much that tho rowdics kick up these shines, q.
that young men and old, who ought to be respecta-
bic. join with them, pay them, and use them for po
ltical purposes, and in order to nullfy the action
of the majority Of the people. This is the cause of
all the corruption that developes itself in the Cor
poraton, from time to time, resulting in the cleo
tion of the most depraved, the most ignorant, and
the most unprinciped men, andso utterly degrading
that body that it has long enjoyed the contempt of
the whole community. Having purchased their
seats from the ringeaders of the rowdies, the Office
holders indemnify themselves by putting their hands
into the public purse, while, at the time, they
procure sthe snews of war for the next election;
and SO the everlasting round of corruption goes on,
in vicious CIRCLE, which ought to be broken up
and effectually destroyed by Independent citizens,
irrespective Of all party considerations. Such men
ought to assemble and issue manifesto, declaring
their views to their fellow citizens, and appealing
to tn m for assistance and co. operation.
There are two ways in which the rum and rowdy
system may be put down. The first is by re-
gstering the name Of every voter, together with
his politics. and not permitting him to vote other
wise at primary elections In trying this plan it may
be necessary perhaps to call in the aid Of the Legis
ature to legaze the primary assemblies, authorize
the administration of oath to the voters, and make
it State prison offence to assault, modest, or OBJ
struct any in the discharge of his duty as vo
ter, and finally declaring it illegal and penal to call
or hold any primary election at, or in the immediate
vicinity Of, grog shops and rum holes. If this will
not do then the only alternative left is to 60 for
stump nominations. At all events, let the rowdy in
fuence be opposed in one way or another, till it is

CELEBRITIES OF THE NEXT SEAsoN.-We havs
of late noticed, from time to time the movements
of Alboni, Sontag, Miss Hayes, and othor notabil-
tiles, but there has been generally complete
silence observed as to the doings of Lola Monies,
much that from the prestige Of her exploits be-
fore and since she came to this country, the with
drawal Of her name from the public journals, in
which she has so long figured, has excited some
surprise me Of the distant correspondents, in
several Of the journals, at length beginning to
INQUIRE what has become Of the Countess de Lands
feldt9 We understa nd however, that she has only
been ruralizing and enjoying the pleasures Of the
country during the period that the omission Of sbro-
melting her movements was observed For these
few months past, Lola has been rusticating among
the Catskill Notwithstanding the precipices,
fordng the streams, and skipping about the rocks.
with as much delight as if she were among her ma
tive hills Of Spain. She has now returned to the
city, and, according to the last accounts, is going to
make grand demonstration at the pic mic to be
given at Yonkers tomorrow, by the Pick Club of
New York and Brooklyn. 1t is expected that there
will be a magnificent blow out of the boys and
girls there, up among the groves near Yonkers;
and Lola, IL is said, has been invited, and will
form one Of the party. 1t is intended, too
that she shall make speech present a standard
