ELECTION OF OFFICERS UNDER THE CHATTER
A GREAT FARCE.--It cannot be too often re-
peated that the salvation of the city govern
mept at this moment depends upon the charac-
ter Of the men elected on the first Tuesday in
December to the boards of Aldermen, Council
men and School Commissioners, and we pre-
sumo that fact is fully known to the voters of
this metropolis; yet, strange as it may seem,
these Offices are about to be again handed over
to the same class of ignorant, disreputable and
dishonest men Who for the last six or eight
years, have been plundering the treasury ami
heaping up taxation by millions. As the
Gaze stands now, the charter election is a great
farce, and all the talk about municipal reform
sheer hnmbug. In the list Of candidates for Of
fee stand the very same class of men-row-
dies, grogshop keepers and loafers, without
position intelligence OF consciences- even ia
many instances the same individuals who have
again and again been elected to these positions.
The machinery by which they receive the
nominations, and by which they assuredly will
be returned to Office, is identically the same,
moved by the worst classes in the community,
and the nominees of all parties, democrats, re-
publicans and Americans, arc alike corrupt and
inefficient.
And who and what are thesc parties to whom
the best interests of the city are about to be en-
trusted? Do they possess single qualification
except limitess capacity for plumber, and a
brazen unscrupulousness in Selling upon Ii
For the most part they are either contractors
or jobbers Of some kind, or else professional
politicians, the mere tools of these individuals
elected for the express purpose Of carrying out
their nefarious designs upon the purses Of the
people men, many Of them, who, If they got
their desert would be in the penitentiary or
State prison, instead Of any Office oftrust Over
the heads of some criminal indictments are
hanging at this moments while others have ac-
tually been inmates Of o JAIL and others again
have escaped similar fate only by the inau-
encc Of the position which had been bestowed
upon them, to the disgrace, be it said, Of the
whole city.
With such men controlling the government,
voting away its finances, and fleeing the trea-
sury right and left, what folly 1t is 70 talk Of

Conc THE WnoLE.-We see that Mr.. Meeks,
who seems not to be very meek in his PROPOSE
ton, has introduced bill into the Assembly for
the abolition Of the judicial Offices both of Re-
corder and City Judge of New York. This is an
Improvement on the former movement, which
was restricted entirely to the City Judge; and it
will prove highly satisfactory to all inmates of
the State prison and Of the penitentiary, and to
all their friends running at large over the city
The class Of burglars, garroters cutthroats,
thieves, robbers, rowdies, and vagabonds of all
kinds, is very numerous, and has prodigious
power OF voting at elections. For long time
past their interests have been seriously endan-
gered by the Court of Sessions, and by patri-
otto and honest man, the City Judge. The latter,
Notwithstanding their political reputation and
their valuable votes, has sent many of them to
State prison and the Penitentiary without the
slightest conjunction. The Recorder, an anna
BILE youth, has become nearly as obnoxious to
them, but not quite. Mr.. Meeks, the meek man
Of the Assembly, has introduced resolution
which will meet with the warmest appreciation of
every one of these distinguished characters, in
and out of the State prison. And we would not
be at all surprised to see petition going round
among the junk shops for the signatures Of those
worthy characters, the receivers of stolen goods,
and their allies, the thieves, robbers, picpockcts
and other criminals, in order to back up the adj
mirabIe movement at Albany. Mr. Meeks, the
meek man Of Long Island, will make himself
very popular in Sing Sing and around Black
wells Islauj, and no mistake.

nous The property, the liberties and the lives
of citizens, are too important to be placed in
jeopardy by partisan politics. Men of all parties
and classes ought therefore, to unite against this
common nuisance and have it abated. For q
week past an investigation of charge against .
policeman has been going on before the Commis-
sioners, which is farce of the most ludicrOus
description in view Of the evidence taken before
the Committee of the Senate and its report there

attempt of the Commissioners to divert attention
from themselves Let the whole rotten fabric be
pulled down. Nothing less will satisfy an indIg
nant community.
