OUR STATE AND CITY.

We are within eight days Of an important
Election, yet the public interest which it would
naturally arrest is 80 entirely absorbed BY the
War that the vote is likely to be light one.
We estimate that Five Hundred Thousand
would be a large estimate of the aggregate
Doll. whereof the Union State Ticket will re-
ceiye at least One Hundred majority. Were
the poll to be full one, this would be largely
increased though the candidates of the Dean
Richmond Regency have put forth a copjolnt
manifesto declaring themselves individually and
collectively advocates of vigorous prosecution
of the War, and of the preservation of the
Union at all hazards. But such eleyenth-hOur
professions will have but little effect, in view
of the notorious facts that the platform on
which those candidates were nominated eyinces
very different spirit, and that every sympa-
thzer with the Secession rebels in our State
is supporter of the Regency ticket.
One of the Canal Commissioners is likely to
be thrown away through a suicidal division OF
the Union vote between Gen. B. F. Bruce and
the Hon. +. A. Talmadge. Were cODmon
sense and the public will allowed to prevail,
they would both be withdrawn, and candidate
universally unexceptionable presented in their
stead. This might yet be done, but we pre-
sumo it will not be, and that VIM. w. Wright
(Regency) will slip in through the breach thus
preposterously made. Cannot the State Com
mittee. even yet be induced to take action IN
the premises
In our own city we rejoice to say that the
prospect was materially frightened on Satur-
day evening by the frank and hearty accept
ance of the Peoples Union County Ticket by
the Republican Nominating Convention. That
ticket is composed as follows:

We believe this fair and good ticket CON-
posed of worthy and popular men, who can be
elected if proper exertons are made in their
behalf. Mr.. IIoxie has the hardest contest,
Genet having both the Tammany and Mozart
nominations against him; and being a most
active, INSCRIPTIONS eectioneer. But the two
men are widely known in our City, and that
i. a circumstance which tells strongly in Mr..
Hoxies favor, while political ties do not bind
men 80 tightly as they have done. Mr. Hoxle
ought to be elected; be can be if his Re-
I publican friends will work for him as be has
worked for them through his forty years OF
honorable usefulness. Let the two men be made
Familiarity known to all our citizens, and the re-
suit must be suspicious.
As Mr.. James Lyuch's friends persist in
keeping him in lie field for Sheriff, in defiance
of the utterly blasting record which he made
for himself in connection with the shameful
withdrawal OF Varian's Battery from the from.
Of The enemy the day before the battle Of Bull
Run. We presume they will draw votes enough
from Tweed to render Dir. Browns election
tolcrlbly certain. The friends of the latter,
however, must spare no effort throughout the
few DAYS that intervene between this hour and
the closing of the pols.
Mr.. Supervisor Blunt has been faithful
public servant, and his reelection will be a
merited tribute to his honesty and worth. Ii
is now beyond doubt.
The Coroners on the above ticket are re-
markably well selected They are not merely
good men, they are well qualified and com
mand public confidence. Capt. Wildey served
in the Fire Zouaves for more than three months
on the Potomac, proving himself one of the
beat officers Of that Regiment, and fought
brayely with them at Bull Run. To suppose
that such a man can be beaten and such elect
ed is to reflect upjustifably on the character OF
our City.
There are still differences with regard to the
Judicial ticket though the reelection of the pres

between the Republican and the Peoples Union

many reasons. Mr.. Ketchum is the only Bell

/ that the prompt and magnanimous declinatlon
of Mr.. Edwin j. Brown in favor Of SUI
peryisor Blunt renders like declination in

than Just Then Mr.. Ketchum is one OF
our veteran lawyers, of decided ability
and undoubted integrity. and, though we
have for some years been at swords points
with him in politics, We esteem him one who
deserves and will do honor to the suflrages OF
the People. We hope he may be adopted by
the Republicans and elected.
