VIRGINIA is the next State to hold an Election, and
the only one before the first Monday in August next,
when Alabama Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky,
Missouri and Texas follow while Tennessee votes on
the first and North Carolina the second Thursday
in that month The most significant contest of the
wear will be that between Col Benton and his adyer-
saries in Missouri.
In Virginia, the most conservative State Of the
Union Democracy of the Mason aud Hunter type,

Qressional Districts having just been remodeed as

CITY REFORM.

The People of our City, especially the great mass of
those who taxpayers and not tax-cOnsumers have
Enthusiastically demanded Reform of their Municipal
Charter. That demand was so unanimous and impos-
ing that opposition for the moment was awed into
silence and not Corruption's triple brass dared
resist decry it. Even Common Council prof
fered direct and open resistance and Delegation
in the Assembly, who would have hestated had any
plausible ground for hestancy been suggested conceded
the ecessity of Reform and with some notifications,
reported the bill which the Legislature unanimously
enacted And now We are within four weeks of the
Election at which this Reform is be ratified or re-
/ jected by the People.
Hitherto the expressions of popular sentiment have
been so unanimous and hearty that no formal or serious
resistance 10 the ratification of the Amendments was ap
parently medtated But the subsdence Of popular az.

hopes and excited to unwonted activity on the le

secret caucuses held contractors and Aldermens per
sona retaners mustered and counted with view to the
defeat of the Amendments at the approaching Election
No public, determined effort will be attempted unless
there be what is regarded prospect OF success but
if such prospect shall be presented through the apathy
and heedlessness Of the taxpayers secret rally will
undoubtedly be made and the Amendments very proba-
bly, voted down. To preclude such disaster we ear
nestly call the friends of Reform TO show by activity
and energy their readiness for contest which thus only
may they avoid Let il be understood that Twenty-fye
Thousand voters ready 60 the polls necessary
TO sustain the Amendments and half that number of ac
tua votes may answer but fit were settled to-day that
not than Ten Thousand would be east for the
Amendments, they would most assuredy be Oyerborne
at the polls
In fact the main question TO be now settled is this
Are the citizens of New-York as citizens ready and
willing to direct and supervise their own municipal
concerns Or, will they only pay such heed to them
as Party interests and Party zeal shall dictate p If
they mean TO stop here-if they purpose, when the
amendments shall have been carried to return 70 their
