HOxSE-GEyET.

There are a good many citizens who think
before they vote and who try to cast such
votes as will impel the respective parties to
nominate candidates who have led useful, ex-
emplary lives. We ask these, if they do not
know Joseph Hoxie and Henry W. Genet, to
inquire Of those who do know them, and ascer-
tain which of them has better deserved the
honorable and lucrative office Of County Clerk.
1t las very little patronage and no political
power; but it is the fit reward of an emf.
nently blameless and well.spent life. Which
ever has most deserved it, let him have it. At
oil events, let your vote tell for whichever can
didate you consider the fittest model for our
Citys youth, so that his election may encour-
age them TO walk in the ways of virtue and
useful industry.

We urge the Common Council of our City
or, in its default, the Board OF Supervisors
TO appoint an honest and sharp-eyed committee
to investigate and report on the system of Ad-
vertising for the City, with view at once to
increasing its value and lessening it's cost. Ua'
questiOnably, half the money now expended
might be made to secure twice the publicity
now obtained. Let that Committee be instruct
ed to ascertain and report the exact circuia'
tion respectively Of each daily and other news
paper issued in our City, 90 as to put tenn
porary quietus on the mOnstrously impudsn'
falsehoods which The Herald necessarily pro.
claims. Let all the facts be made public ana

senance of the present, sbamefaly corrup' ~

NEwyORK DAILY TRIBUNE. MONDAY NOVEMBER 4, 1861.

to the strike" and the baff1ed Syracusans,
with many maledictions on the obdurate Brown,
hied them of to Mr.. Vulte, who, in the lingo
of their tribe, "came down." in consideration
of which, the name of the candidate for Sherii,
which had been left blank upon their banner
till the result of " the strike" was known, was
soon dashed in by the painter, and their can
didate now is not Brown, but Vulte. On the
same night, three out Of the four who per-
formed this exploit (Messrs. Bradford, Swack-
hamer, aud Norton turned up as speakers
and active participants in the Mozart ratifca'
ton meeting of James Lynch, at Cooper In
stitute. If the other nominations which Mr..
Vulte claims are no more valuable than that
of I" the Peoples Syracuse Union, we can
only say he has spent good deal OF time and
money in behalf of Bull Run Jimmy.

Our Washington correspondent informs ui
that Gen. Stones report of the battle at Balls
Bluff was received not from the War Depart
ment, as We naturally supposed, as it was tel
egraphed from Washington, but from Gen.
Stones headquarters. Our purpose was simply
to say, in answer to the carping of our slower
neighbors, that the report came to us, in reg
ular course, from an official source. The state
nent as to the point in controversy was
essentially true, but we make the correction
to relieve the War Office from any charge of
Partially. Any newspaper agent could have
had the report as we did that took the same
trouble to 60 for it; indeed, one other, we
hear, did so, but lOtered on the way, and was
too late to telegraph the same night from
Washington. The report of Gen. Stone was a
legitimate document for newspaper publication,
and all the talk that has been made about it
has only been to cover up the dilatoriness Of
the agents Of certain journals.

TAMMANY-HARpN.

| Mr. John Hardy is candidate for Assembly
in the district Of our city composed Of the XXth
Ward, and we have understood him to favor
the Union movement, or at least to solicit
votes from its supporters. Yet we find his
name signed to a circular from Tammany Hall,
wherein we read as follows:
There behind all the ,ocalled Union movements

Government the Republican Party, without the ro'pons

Now we do not hesitate TO say that Mr..
Hardy knows better than this-knows that the
Union movement will send at least two Demo-
Gratis to the Legislature from Republican Dis
tricts 10 every Republican that it sends from
Democratic districts. In proof of this We ap-
peal to the results of the recent elections in
Maine California, Iowa and Minnesota, in
every one of which the Republicans ran o
straight ticket and carried it triumphantly,
polling in each larger relative vote than in the
preceding State Election. In Pennsylvania and
Ohio, on the contrary, Union tickets were ex.
tensiyely run, aud the Republican strength
is decidedly impaired by them. Ohio has

Of Democrats in one branch Of her Legislature,
elected on Union tickets, and solely BY the

it; but whom ths Republicans Of decidedly Re.

Mr.. Hugh Mclaughlin, the Peoples Union
candidate for Register of Kings County, -
Democrat, who has entered heart and soul into

have been said of him, but we have been uns-
bic to trace any of them to Trustworthy

Under other circumstances, we should have
cheerfuly supported Mr.. Hall, but in view Of
the fact that the great majority Of the voters

by the compact. AS We hope to have the can

should we give to those from the Democratic
ranks our undivided vote. Mr.. Mclaughlin,
we are assured, will make worthy public Of.

Some firing has taken place, also, between O

however.
1t is believed at Washington that the feet

CITY SENATOR'S.

II surely cannot be doubted that ex-Recorder
FRANCIS r. TmLoU is filter man for Sena-
tor from the Iyth (down-town) District than
Mr.. Christian b. Woodruff. Then why not
elect the former Each is Democrat in poll
tics; the District is Democratic: why should
it not prefer the abler and worthier man
In the Eastern (yth) District, Mr.. Chanler
has withdrawn from the canvass. We believe
this leaves the choice substantially between
Thomas Little (Republican) and Aid. Cornell.
We think Mr.. Little the filter and worthier
man; but let each voter make due inquiry and
vote as shall best serve the public.
In the With Central Westerly District we
support Mr.. Manierre, not only because he is
the Peoples Union nominee; but because he
has had terms experience in the Senate, and
earned the reputation of an honest, incorrupt-
ible legislator. Though firm Republican, he
was never bitter partisan, and will receive
the votes of many Democrats because Of his
anti Gridiron course. We do not see how his
withdrawal could elect Mr.. Smith-the District
having given large anti-Republican majority
last year--wbile We think he may be elected
if the Republicans choose to concentrate their
votes on him.
As to the With (up.town) District, we
think no Unionist and no Republican should
hesitate to give a hearty support to JOHN j.
PHELPS. He is the only Republican in nomi-
nation, and is man whose election VIII DC
honor to the district and to his supporters
An eminent merchant, no man ever dreamed
that he could be used by jobbers or made sub
.srvient to any scheme of plunder; and he cal
bs elected if those who feel that lie ought Il
be will make resolute effort We exhort al
who prefer honest and frugal government Y
work for him with will to the close Of th,
polls.

Mr.. ALEXANDER WARD, the Tammany and
Mozart candidate for Assembly in the XIIIth
District is the person who, while Superintendent
of Sidewalks, was charged with signing false
vouchers for painting street numbers, aud levy.
ing tribute from the mechanic who had con.
tracted to do the work. He was indicted for
malfeasance, was tried, and the Jury failed to
agree; he was then liberated on bail, and bis
case, like good many other such, went into
District Attorney Waterbury's Office, and wa
never heard of after. The same individual on
the night of Saturday, March 10, 1860 decoyed
Mr.. Geo. II. Purser, whom he suspected Of
iustigating the exposure of his transactions IN
street numbers, into Broadway saloon, where.
in the course of a savage assault upon Mr. re
person, he tried to gouge out bis eyes, ana
would have bitten off his nose, but failed, only
because his false teeth were not equal to tho
task. Some people may think such person hs
to represent them in the Legislature, but we
are not of that number.

MIR. LYNCH.

This candidate for Sheriff has put his name
to long, weak and watery letter addressed to
the Editor of THE TRIBUNE. Why man
should keep taking when he has nothing to say
would be puzzle if il were not plain that
person may involve himself in predicament
wherein he must try to justify himself whether
be can or not. Mr.. Lynch mauuders and
muddles over much random talk about Know
Nothings and other matters which have nothing
to do with his case; for we do not think even
he will assert that the thousands who remained
and fought at Bull Run although the term oil
their enlistment had expired were all Know
Nothings. We must call the gentleman to
order. and once more direct him to speak to
the question.
Mr. Lynch Yoa enlisted in and went out
as a member Of Capt. Varian's battery at
tached to the Eighth Regiment of New-foH'
Militia The battery was sworn in on the
Goth of April; the rest of the regiment not til
the 25th. On the Goth of July (the day before
the battle Of Bull RUM you, as spokesman fol
yourself and sixteen others, insisted on being
discharged from further service, your teru
having that day expired. Capt Varian tried
hard to persuade you to hold on promised you
that he would net only let you go but go witt
you if you would stay FIVE days longer; Gen.
Mcdowell sent special entreaty that you
would hold on very few days; but no-you
would 90 then; and ycur example and your

had to be retired, and the regiment go into
battle next day without it, while yCu were
making your way homeward Z" to the sounu o.
-" the enemys cannon" says Gen. Mcdowell
in his official report.
Now, If your conduct was honorable and
manly, rhy do you not get a certificate to ma
effect from Capt. Tarian1 Why does not som'
one officer of your own regiment speak good
word for you Why do you have to resort to the
Sixty -nnth-whose conduct so strongly con-
demns your own-to obtain a sort of indorse-
menti They know nothing of your case but
by hearsay: why not appeal to some one who
heard what you said and saw what you did on

testimony would not help youl
You tell us, Dir. Lynch! that you are certain

That you arc good at running is pretty clear;
but il is unwise to be boastful. II you are
elected at all, it will be by the votes of our
Irish-born citizens whom your conduct at Bull
Run disgraced, yet who are now urged to
support you on grounds purely clannish. Had
you played your part at Bull Run like Corco-
ran, Meagher, and so many other Irishmen,
you might have fairly claimed the suiirages OF
your cOuntrymen, but if those who fight are to
receive wounds, imprisonment, and death,
while those who run away are chosen to our

for Corcorans hereafter.
