evening and there proclaimed his ipaexible de-
yotioa 10 the ticket headed Ullmano and Seroggs.
adding that hi. right arm should wisher before
he would use it to east vote for CLARK and

OF course, we have to depend on second hand
information with regard to Whist trsnspres inside

above statement may be fully relied on. 1t is
certain that Mr.. Cbilds is not supporting the
Wing State Ticket aud calculating to stand or fall
with it, If be were, he would not hesitate to say
90. His FIVE Days silence ia proof positive on
this bead. The Wings who vote for him are to
be cheated any how; but whether the Seymour
or UllDann party is likewise to be done, remains
to be developed tomorrow.
Wings of the IXth, XVIII and XXth Wards
what are you doiDgl We called your attention
to this subject in due season. why have you not
acted Do not say you were surprised if you
find your ballots in hostile hands tomorrow, and
your voters at many polls asked to choose between

if you do not see every poll provided for before
you 90 10 sleep this evening.

SCHOOL OFFICERS.

Tomorrow our City will elect her School Off
GERS for the ensuing year ,-and no duty to be per-
formed Oh that day is more important than this.
Yet we fear that too many citizens will vote the
ticket of this that party without giving although
to the character Of the School Officers upon it,
or making an inquiry regarding the merits Of RI
val candidates.
The following is a list of leading members of
the present Board Of School Commissioners who
are candidates for reelection. Unless there are
objections to one or more Of them, of which we
have no knowledge, we trust they will all be
reelected, no matter what they think of the Ne
braska bill, Maine Liquor Law, or any other top.
ic apart from education and our Schools. Having
served in that Board we know that experience is
Of great value therein, and, as Commissioners
serve without pay or emolument Of any kind, we
trust our citizens will evince their appreciation
of faithful and valuable service in a sphere which
wins no applause, commands no popular attention
Among Commissioners now candidates for reflec.
ton are the following:

DIR. GRAHAM TO BE pARpoyEp.

When tire verdict of Guilty was rendered
against DR.. Graham, bis counsel gave notice that
bill Of exceptions would be presented in his
favor within the twenty days prescribed BY law.
This wes on the 10th OF October, and the public
curiosity has been good deal excited by the fact
tba though the twenty days have passed, no bin of
exceptions has been presented, nor any step taken
TO prevent the passing of sentence on Graham ac-
cording to the verdict Of the Jury. This is now
explained bya telegraphic correspondent at New
Orleans, who informs us that Graham'' friends
there have received assurances from New-York
TO the effect that Governor Seymour has promised
10 pardon Graham bore he enters the State Prison.
According to this promise, Graham will be SEN
fenced q day or two after the election OF to-
morrow; but before he is actually incsrcerated at
Sing Sing, q pardon from Gov. Seymour will re-
lease him from custody, and his journey to prison
as convicted felon will be changed into pleas
ant return home to New-Orleans, to resume his
weapons and murderous habits, and after a while
TO pass through the formality of trial, under the
indictment now hanging over him there for being
engaged in a riot whereby several men met their
death.
That Governor Seymour has promised thus to
release this man from the very lenient punish
ment implied by the verdict against him, we can
not of course positively affirm on the faith of in
formation thus received: it is, however, not i'm
probable but we trust that the expressions
of public indignation a! such promise will
be so imposing as to overawe and suppress the
execution of so unworthy pledge We are well
aware that Graham has powerful and wealthy
friends, who have moved heaven and earth to get
him clear; but surely the Governor of New York,
even though for a time that Office be occupied
by such a man as Horatio Seymour, should not
lend himself to let loose unpublished upon the
community this brawng homicide. The first at
tempt to defeat justice in behalf Of Graham was
the packing of the jury, and this the press de.
feated. Let the press speak out against the
greater wrong now said to be contemplated by
Gov. Seymour, and defeat il as well.

Gov. SEYMOUR, on Saturday, presided at a meeting
OF merchants in City to take " for the

equally imperiled on land-brandy and water being
far detrimental to it than the pure element.
The Governors Veto Of the Prohibtory Law has

FERNANDO WOOD.

1t is no. within our power to execute Justice
upon all the rascals who are from time to time
candidates for office. We believe we do our part
Of this hazardous, disagreeable and costly duty
the most thankless public service that any citizen
is called on to perform. We would like to do
more; but let every one do as much, and the
People will have none but themselves to blame If
bad men are chosen to rule over them.
The Courier and Enquirer published on sstur-
day the material evidence in the case of Henry
Sheldon and others, assignees of Edward T..
Marvine, against Fernando Wood-a case still
withheld from verdict before referees, and upon
which an indictment was found by Grand Jury
of our City, but disposed of without trial as We
have elsewhere shown. The case made against
Mr.. Wood is terrible, whitening. How he can
possibly confront or evade it, we do not know.
We copy from The Courier so much of the evil
dence in the case as does not rest at all upon tho
representations of Marvinc or any interested
party--as follows:

was with reeari to merchandise for shipment TO Cali

and brought Mr.. Wood there afterward Mr.. Wood
produced list OF articles recommended 10 be shipped
10 California; il was a written list which Mr.. w.
showed as coming rom q friend Of his in California;

THOMAS CHILDS, Jr. was candidate for Con-
gress before the Wing Nominating Convention Of
the With District, and succeeded over true and
capable Wing who can at all times be relied on.
We announced his selection with some msgiy-
ipgs' which friends living in the District prompt
ly called to dispel, assuring us that Mr. Childs
was true and worthy. On the strength Of those
assurances, we commended him to our readers in
his District. Soon after, we received informa-
ton which induced us to doubt his fidelity, and
we thereuPon addressed him public inquiry,
asking him to say distinctly whether he did or
did rot support MYRoS II. CLARK and the Wbis
State Ticket. This question has noe stood fire
days pnaHs,rered-which is answer enough. OF
course, Mr.. Childs is secretly leaguod with the
enemies OF the Wing State Ticket and is buying
and selling with them for votes.

Mr.. Childs is selling We are well assured that

Mr.. GUr r. PELToS, Wing candidate for Congress
in the lower District of City, certain in
quirers that he is and has been intensely hostile
to the Nebraska bill; but be does not say wha. he
would do or have done to restore to Freedom the
ground los by the passage Of that bill. On the
trary he says:

frank ard explicit Evowal of hostility - the Nebraska BILL

We think, If somebody had stolen Mr. Pelton's
horse and buggy, he would have proposed first to
recover the property and punish the thief Aea go in
for all manner of peace and harmony" with said
thief and his accomplices; but he seems to have a
different rule for the pubc's case
