In the mean time, the proceedings of Messrs.
Bowen, Holmes d Co. and Of Morris l.. Hal.

merchants who had debts due them in Alexan-
dra under precisely similar circumstances,
went down there to look after them. There
was likely to be good deal Of sound, whole

But again in the mean time, before the
other cases were reached, complaints of these
proceedings were made from persons in Alexan'

suspension, by order from the War Depart

But the Northern merchants concerned in
this particular are by no means alone interested
in the principle at stake. OF course we oil
bow not merely 10 the authority, but to the
superior wisdom of the Government, and pre-
sumo that whatever it may do in the premises
is the right thing to be done. But may we
respectfully ask, If the rule is to obtain that
military authority ia not to take cognlzanee Of
civil eases how far is the application to be made
is it to cover the case Of fugitive slaves whom

We trust the Supervisors of our City are not
aware that they are deliberately and very wan
tonIy violating law of the State, which they
are bound as loyal citizens and public officers
10 respect and obey. That law requtes them
TO complete the Official Canvass of the Votes
cast at each Election within ten days ffcm the
day fixed by law for its commencement. THIS
requirement of law they have wickedly disre-
garded, and are still meanly, basely, wantoniy
violating, to the serious prejudice aud wreng
of many good citizens There is no need that
any canvass should consume more than week;
half that time would be amply sufficient. If tho
Supervisors would honestly and faithfully en-
deayor to do their work diligently aud
promptly, instead of dawdlng, and shutting,
and contriying excuse after excuse for ad-
iourning over. There are two or three mem-
bers of that Board who are generally esteemed
honest, and they ought not to throw away that
reputation SO foolishly We notify the Con-
troler that ten days are all for which he 10
at Liberty to pay the Supervisors for service az
Canyassers; and if he pays for more, I've will
do it at his peril.

1t is certainly an indicative and important
fact when a Senator Of the United States
stands before such an assembly as that which
greeted Charles Sumner last evening, speaks
the words that he then spoke, and in meet
ing sustained by such influences as those that
are responsible for this. 1t is true, the leo
tare was historical, and many who might sc-
cept the truth Of its general drift would re-.
pudiate Its conclusions. But we very much
mistake public opinion if it has not come to
the conclusion that as Slavery il the cause Of
the rebellion, our business is with that cause.
even long before it knew whether there had
been any historical sequence Of events culmi-
mating in the great treason of 1861. They
know what they see, and as the keen observa.
ton of the common mind justifes tho careful
analysis of the scholar, SO the common sense
of the people is fact Fastening to the same
conclusion with the far.seeing statesman,
though by different process of reasoning. Bot
with multitude of thinking people, who arc
accustomed to mistrust the seeming and ap-
peal to the real causes of events Mr.. Sum.
ners speech will be both an aid and COM
fort. 1t will confirm the doubling strengthen
the timid, aud convince the iSroraut and ie'
different, that inasmuch as there has been this
deadly virus in our national blood from the
beginning, breaking out now into this fearful
Eruption and madness, no choice is left US but
one between its utter determination and ma.
tional death. we can tamper with so fearful
a malady no longer.
The allusion of Mr.. Sumner TO the coming
discussions of Congress on this subject. vii
,kindle hope that that body will understand
where Southern weakness AID Northern strength
really lie, ana will seize the instrumenlality BY
which tie rebellion is to be brought to speedy
and final eXtrpation.

FERNANDO WOOD UNMAsgxs EssI.
eEEE.

We print this morning Fernando Woods bid
for the Secession vote. In his speech TO the
Germans last evening, at Voiks Garten, his
sympathies with the Rebels are broadly pro-
claimed, he charges the Administration with
having provoked this war, aud asserts that
they mean to prOlong it while there is dollar
70 be stolen from the national TreasSry, or q
drop of Southern blood to be shed. This party
has no sympathy for poor white men, whom
they grind into the dust, but expend all their
compassion upon the negro. The only hope OF
peace IT, according to Fernando Wood, to elect
him, aud give the Rebels whatever they ask,
which is, in bis opinion, no more than their
lust rights under the Constitution. He aims to
make New-York Free City, Ike Hamburg,
and promises if he is elected, and the power
Spring, to permit free liquor.selling, and allow
to every individual the largest license. If the
party which now controls The national Govern
meut can obtain possession Of the Government
of this city, he says God help us, for we are
utterly undone.
Thus this bold, bad man rends the vail III.
der which he has hidden himself since the in
dignant people last Spring drove him into de-
claring for the Union, aud now we see the
features of the trnitOrous Mokanna, in all their
native hideonsness. No doubt, il lie could to-
day give New-Yor over, bound hand and
foot, to his MASTER jeff Davis, he would
atand at M atrocity in tbe accomplishment of
his purpose. But he has oyerleaped himself.
Grown desperate by the imminent crushing
defeat which awaits him, ho throws aside his
disguise, avows himself rebel, and claims the
vote of the Secession element Of the city. He
has reckoned without bis host. The scattering
few who entertain his sentiments cannot save
him. A patriotic people on Tuesday next will
eiIectually destroy the power for evil which he
fondly hoped was almost within his grasp.
