Journals, and. as The Herald says Of Hun,inst,n.
one would suppose that the name of Fernando
Wood would not, within decade at least, CON-

Yet Fernando Wood, having, by pleading tho
statute Of limitations, aud other qui,ks Of the sw
escaped punishment-though not the award Of a
board of referees exposing his villanies-not
merely sets up his shipge anew in waOssreet as
Huntington did, but boldly puts himself forwards
a candidate for the Office of Mayor Of this city. 10
which business he is not merely taken into fall

nothing very remarkable, but obtains the couute-
nsr ce and support of leading citizens aud leading
journals.
The Herald may repeat and renew, from now TN
doomsday, its exposures and denuuciaiioos Of

afforded to their preparation by the fact that eH.
posure in the painest and grossest frauds does not
ipiure mans credit in Wal-street, so long as be
can contriye to keep himself out of the Tombs and
his property out of the hands of the Sheriff. But
what effect will all these homilies have upon tho
public sentiment of city which elects for its
Mayor Fernando Wood, and that with the con-
currence and support of eminent merchants and
leading newspapers
