s. Crooke Sheriff. Counse until the other gentle
men have bad time to reflect. Mr.. PienOn would then
represent the anti-monopolists, and Gen. Crooke
would If elected, introduce bill for the reduction Of
| the Sheriifs fees.
For the consideration Of these questions two three
meetings have been held, attended by oycrwhelm-
ing audience of parios-amountng 1t IS said, TO as
many as fifteen OF twenty; these numbers are, how
ever clearly exaggerated. The first meeting was held
in Gen. Crooks hat; the second in Mayor strykers.
No public notice given ne il was feared the pres
sure would break down the floors.
Everything has thus been arranged satisfactorily,
and Kings County will present a united front to the
enemy ONE OF THE PEOPLE.

! To he Editor Of Them y Tribune
! Sir: movement is on foot in Kings County to pre-
sent ticket to the voters at the meeting to be held
this afternoon at Fort Green. There could be no OBJ
lection to such action, If it not for the fact that
Objectionable men are connected with the movement,
| who will use all their bad Influence and undeserved
eminence 10 force upon the meeting some candidates
who are already stencil in the nostrs OF the people.
The ticket is to be fusion of Democrats and Repub
leans who are to be pledged to vigorous prosecution
of the war. SO far entirely concur in tie plan. In
I ~,
can hone to BIO elected That being settled it follows
that the only debable ground left is as to the loyalty,
reputation and character of the men. For instance
man should be put upon that ticket who was in any
way connected with the opposition to the threemon
war bill in our hast Legislature. No man should be
nominated whose only reputation consists in his known
supposed ability carry primaries The people will
rise above all such influences in this crissD And
1 ahonI ha ninth afora tho peonla who
has been or il supposed to have BEEN in any way i'm
picated in the corruptions of recent Legislatures
or the petty ntrgues of our local politicians If the
men who engineer the coming nominations will be
governed by the hints above indicated it will be well
with them in the future; for may well assure them
that upon this subject the minds of all good
made up, and they are resolved now in the day Of
their opportunity, to repudiate every political pros
tute, of whatever party, who may be nominated by
this or any other Convention.

About two weeks ago, the tepid atmosphere Of
our local politics was rufed by gentle breeze. The
Republican General Committee Of Kings County,
goaded TO the verge Of desperation by the painfully
deliberate manner in which Mr.. Collector Barney pro-
ceeded with the most important part Of his official du.
ties TO witt the dispensation Of the loaves and fishes
came together, and in their walk, passed series OF
pungent resolutions in which the conduct Of the afore
said Collector was stigmstized childish" and out
rageous and bis removal from Office imperiously de-
manded. The resolutions were duly published, and
the committee received many pauds for their pluck
somewhat it must be admitted, at the expense of their
discretion But with the morrow, came the sober sec
ond thought, and the members began to realize how |
rsshly they had acted. The Collector was not re.
moved in obedience TO the mandate Of the Committee,
and was soon announced that he had declared tina,
not another man from Kings County should be ap-
pointed until the obnoxious resolutions repealed
Here was q dilemma. The swarm Of hungry tide
wnters measurers watchmen, and inspectOrs-in ex-
pectuncy-who had been besieging the Collector now
turned their attentions 10 the Commtee-the MEM
bers woro besct mott numerically at every tum-bu
man nature is weak-and their resolution found
unequal to the pressure. On Tuesday evening the Com
mittee mad special meeting and after making num-
Der of WHY faces they proceeded by vote of 81 TO H.
10 repeal the resolutions, aud swallow their words.
