WALL STREET ON THE CRY NoMISATIoNs.-
One of our Wall street contemporaries gets up an
elaborate puff for the nominations Of Blocker
for Mayor, Emmett for Corporation Counsel and
Capron for City Judge Mr.. Blocker is very
worthy man, but new to the harness, and it will
be better to give Fernando Wood another trial
than to risk new man. As to Capron, he is the
nominee of Thurlow Weed, who occasionally
comes down to the Astor House to settle our
local politics for us and arrange nomination
for friend. Capron was appointed by the Go
vernon to fill vacancy, and at the end of his
term he would do well to leave the city, retire
to the country and study new lesson in fanati-
cal temperance legislation. Emmett has no
chance with the Irish voters against Busteed who
is popular man and will carry the day. The
attempt of our weakly Wall street contemporary
to carry its old party hack nominations by the
strength Of Fremont's name win not do in these
enlightened days The Independent voters and
the Independent press will oppose this attempt Of
Thurlow Weed to create another political oil
garchy and set up second Albany Regency in
our midst by stealing the magic name Of Ere
mont.

social discrgamzatien prevails generally al ever
the republic. The sSil lay uncultivated to great
extent, and il was thought that the next harvest
would not produce the tenth of the yield Of for
mer wears. Mora's administration was very un
popular, but the people were still hrm IN
their hatred towards Walker, and General Canas
had ave hundred soldiers at Guanacoste ready to OPP
pose any invasion by the President Of Nicaragua
Walker had about eight numbered men in Granada,
and it was reported, but not believed, that he
would soon make a descent on Greytown.
The British fleet still lay in the harhsr.
Chris Lilly, who was banished from Cali
fornia by the Vigilance Committee, had entered
into contract to supply the Nicaraguan army With
provisions and gun boat The allied Central
American States had two war scho0ners cruising
on the coast and Rvas had still twenty i've hundred
men in Leon with which force he expected 70 attack
Walker in November. The detachments sent by the
latter against the Chontales natives had been re-
pulsed three times and retired TO Granada in great
confusion. A man from Walkers army, who had
arrived in San Francisco, gives grievous account
OF the military rule of the General. He left one
hundred men in hospital, and Of one hundred aad
twenty-five of his companions from California only
forty remained alive.
Our correspondent at Lima, writing on the 18th
ult states that the project Of confederation OF the
South American States against what is termed the
encToachments Of the Yankees freely discussed
in the papers. Gen. Castillo had suppressed the
Heraido its political sentiments being regarded
as obnoxious. There were reports that Eche-
nique had revolutionized some Of the Southern
provinces, and that an insurrectionary attempt
| in the North, set foot by the partsans o.
Castillo, had been defeated. The government had
| issued decree requiring an examination and au-
Identification Of "vales de consolidation" and bill
lets de manpmssion," by the President Of the re-
| public or the Peruvian Minister at Washington
| and London, otherwise they would be repudiated.
| This step had been rendered necessary in conse-
| quence of the documents alluded to having been
| counterfeited to an amount estimated at several
| millions of dollars.

1000 bales, based upon miidlng upands, at l3c.,

fair, from the wharf. Low grades were almost out
of market and the lowest priced cottons, classed
ordinary were quoted at l2c. The accounts received
from the South continued to speak unfayoraby Of
the yield Of the present crop. Complaints come
from South Carolina, as well as from
the States of the Southwest. Flour was some less

PROPOSED DIVISION OF THE CITY.-The afro

Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Jersey City and Hobo

great consolidated metropolis, under one go.

CANDIDATES FOR CRY JuDGE.-We have four
candidates for the Office of City Judge now be-
fore the people, to wit: Abraham d. Russell,
Elisha S. Capron, John II. White, Ambrose l..
Pinney. Mr.. Capron is an ultra-temperance re-
former, sent down from the country by Governor
Clark, at the dictation Of Thurlow Weed
He is altogether out of his element in
this city. and had better return to the
rural districts. White is a lawyer and a
clever man, but has been mixed up with Barnum
in some mysterious Crystal Palace operations
Pinney is the nominee of the Windust oyster eel
lar convention. He has been, we hear, highly
respectable man on the bench, but not exactly
the judicial bench. He is not at all a suitable
man for the place. and the oyster house nomina-
ton has no chance.
The most prominent candidate before the peo-
pie is Abraham D. Russell. He is we'll read
lawyer, both in the criminal and civil codes, and
has practised his profession in this city for the
past twenty years He is much better fitted for
the Office to which he has been nominated than
any of the other candidates. We have no doubt
Of his election.

The GRAND CENTRAL RAILWAY OIIGARcHY-
This powerful monopoly is again at work in The
central part Of the State, influencing the Con-
eressional nominations and no doubt those for
the State Legislature. We perceive that Erastus
Corning, Of Albany one Of the principal mana
gers Of the railroad olgarchy, has been nominated
by the democrats Of his district for Congress
The Independent republicans in Troy and other
places thereabouts will not support him or any
such humbug.

The CATHOLIC CHURCH AND FREMoST.-The
controversy on the Catholicty of Fremont,
limited for sometime past to outsiders, has been
at length taken up by Archbishop Hughes and
his organ. McMasters, the editor Of the organ,
"a rampant Buchanan many foaming at the
mouth with rage, swears that Fremont is
Catholic; and he wants Fremont to write let
ter. so that be can brand him with hot iron
and the proofs that Fremont is. was, or ought to
he, Catholic, will be produced, for Nc
Masters has an old woman or two
at his elbow who have told him so. The
neophyte of our venerable Archbishop is too
violent, too savage with his branding irons, and
so he has been put upon his good behavior. The
Archbishop comes out to put himself, and the
church, and his organ and Fremont right on this
question. He says substantially that his know
character; but, as far as it goes, he is satisfied
that be doesn't know anything at ell about it,
and Is content 10 drop the subject
The consequence is that between the violent
attack upon Fremont by McMasters, and the cool
rebukc administered by the master Of McNIas-
terr, that the bulk OF the Irish, side by eide with
the Germans, are going over to Fremont. If he is
not Catholic, and has not been 9 Catholic, he
has put up q cross in the Rocky Mountains, has

The masses of the conservative Irish, therefore,
