TIE Rho&t Of the old reform party may tarn
xp some time between this date and election day;
hut al the gslvsnie batteries In the world
could not revive it. The city would have been
better governed to-day had the reform associa-
ton never existed.
Notwishst .nding Gil this difficulty and I'M
certainty. there il NO lack Of patriots who are
ready to rush in and take the chances for .
good fat Office even though the press should
abuse them, and the public despise them. This
IL particularly true Of the Office Of Com
missioner Of Streets and Lamps, which Is by
NO means bed Of roses, yet any number OF
people manifest disposition to undertake its
responsibilities, in consideration of its emolu-
meDta The wings talk Of George w. Riblet
and Christian w. Shaft r, while the hard shell
democrats have pretty well settled down upon
Joseph I. Sweet, who is looked upon with favor
by many natives, although he is not attached
to the Know Nothing party. We have also
stump candidate for the Office, as will be seen
by the following advertisement -
To The ElECToRs Cry AND COUNTY or NEW YoRK.
The undersigned Offers himself independent c4u-
d,date for the ofcs o. Commissioner Of Streets and
lamps at the election 10 Novsmber next pleavng him
SELF elected, 10 ful6l he duties Appertaning

E Colombian Garden, 200 Bowery.
This stump system is an excellent QUE, and
we hope to see it more generally adopted. 1t
was recommended in the HERALD last summer.
Candidates for the Msyoralty are nu-
merous. Among them are E. c. Drake,
whig and native; Daniel Lord, whig; 20
phsr Mills, wing and temperance; ex Sheriff;
Thomas CarDley, whig, and John N. Genin,
/ wing and Broadway sweeper. The democrats,
or rather some of them, think that Senator Barr
or Timothy Daily would ill the chair very COM
fortably. For the Office Of City Judge, Abra-
ham Russell, Esq, will receive the democratic
and native support. A good nomination.
Another democratic candidate is James N.
Smith, Jr, an able and popular member of the
New York bar. Soft shell Chauncy Shafer,
temperance, reform, and Know Nothing, is
willing to serve the city either as Recorder or
District Attorney.
1t is important that we should have good
city register, and this fact seems to have at
tracted the attention of number of gentlemen
to the office, and they are ready to place them
selves in the field tor it. The wings talk Of
John ). Doane or Olcott Rhines, while three de-
mocrats- Garrett Dyckman, Sherman Brownell
and Charles H Ring-are each said to be " sure"
Of the democratic nomination. Mr.. Nixon an
nounces himself ION the stump" as follows

Commissioner Of Deeds, So Wall street, basement.
Mr.. F. III. Pettis, of IS Wall street. and Mr..
John Wheeler, Of Union place, are stump can
didates for Congress-.
It will be seen by the above 9 entries" that
the TALL meeting' is to be an exciting one. and
~ we may possibly get some decent people
into city Offices, and thereby secure some use
full reforms, we hail its approach with great
rejoicings.
