TIE CANDIDATES FOR THE BOARD or
EDLCdIION

As tie profgacy of the Board Of Eiucation has
raised it into little temporary notorey, come interest
is felt in the character Of the men who ore trying 70
get seats in it for the years 1859 and 1860. We hasten
to saffy 40 natural curiosity and give, by Wards,
such information as we hope will prove sufficient:
FIRST WARD. Samuel Aud, the present mo nbcr,
grog:eller, is the Tau many nominee, aud will un-
doubie ly be elected. He has the negative virtue OF
being a quiet man in the Board, whore lie does little
except to vote with Mr.. Wu. Sinclair There are two
! Abti-Tammany candidates -Edgsr Burke, butcher
in Morris street, and Charles Mckay, gog-seer, VINO
hes twice been unsuccessful candidate for Alderman.
SEcosD WARD.-James Wat.on, letter-c arrier, has
received the nomination Of the united Democracy, and
Edward ID. Pepper, reporter that oi the Opposition.
Both boys, is also the retiring member from this
Ward. The Opposition majority at the late election
iLdica,es that Mr. Pepper success is probable.
THIRD WARD.-R. ). Gould, clOther in Greenwich
street, is the Opposition candidate, and will get tho
nost votes; John NJ. Memnee, Tammany, keeps q
Grog-shop in the same street; the Of the anti
Tsmmeny candidate, Van Comp Colbsugh, is not to
= found in tie directory. His existence IS matter Of
great doubt.
FouRrH WARD.-John Heaey the young rough
and ready foreman Of 10 mime gros-seIer is tho
Tammany candidate, against Eugene Shine, Gus
tomfiouse officer, who Is the present incumbent says
little in the Board and for the largest expendi
tures. IT Is not ofthe slightest importance which snc-
c,eis unless new man might be rather more likely
10 make the mistake Of voting right.
FnIB WARD.-In this Ward the sigGlsr phenomenon
is presented Of two candidates both iodorsed by all
psres. Wm. B. Eager r., druggist in Hudson street,
Is tbe pre.ert incumbent ard il prominent Of tho
more valuable members Of the Board: lively oppo-
sfion but scarcely strong enough 10 be successful
concentrated upon John Hewitt, jr., cothier in Hud
street.
SIXTH wARD.-Michael Begg Mulberry street grog-
seller Is the only pomiree This Ward loses mnch By
the removal Of Mr. Wm. Sinclair, the retiring mem
Der, to the Twtntydrst Ward. The residents Of the
Ward are enGeayorng TO Induce Mr. Ri hard Barry,
the member who holds over to resign. Sc far, be hes
re!ued, which is not strange, he will have ten
months in the Board after he has served out his four
months in the pententiary.
sEyEsTH WARD-Willam N. Tweed, present MEM
Der, also Supervisor, is toe Tsmmsny candidate, and
can hardly fal Of reelection. In the Board Of Efu-
cation be says little, bat has very efficient way d
taking of his friends and seldom fails to carry
through anything which lie attempts. The Ant-Tsm-
many candidate, Cornelius Collins, builder has been
unfortunate in bis connection with school affair. Work
which he did on two school buildings has been refused
ard in Consequence Of this experience the Beard some
time ego declined to give LIN the contract Tor repair
irg No. ; although be was the lowest bidder.
