a SIGNAL DISGRACE TO THE CTY.-Lynch
has been elected our Sheriff, and Raymond.
the s'little villain" Of the Times, has been
elected as one Of our members to the State
Legislature; and these results we pronounce q
signal disgrace to tho city, We are not re-
sponsible, however, for this disgrace. We did
what we could to prevent it, and we wash our
hands of it. 1t is a disgrace which belongs to
the voters who supported Lynch and Ray
mond these two noted runners from Bull run,
ITO the sound of the enemys cannon but it
is a disgrace for which the" sApid, jobbing
and juggling political cliquess opposed to these
Bull runners are mainly responsible. Thus
Lynch slips into an Office of fifty thousand a
year, more OF less, with On, overwhelming popu-
lar majority against him, and sirsply because
this majority was stupidity divided among three
opposing candidates. Raymond goes to the
Assembly; where we may expect. linn to stir up
the dirty waters Of aboliionism OF every avail
able occasion, and where he will make the best
use of his time as lobby jobbsr. We put
him in charge of David s: Coddington, man
with a clean record, and a man of honest prin-
ciples and superior abilities. Inheriting the
old fashioned democratic ideas and instincts of
his father-formerly our city Postmaster-Mr.
Coddington will look out for the rascalities of
the lobby and the slippery 'lithe villain" at
his elbow.

His farewell address to his soldiers is the best

man to deal unjus'tly or ungenerously with any
public officer. He has dealt very tenderly with
Fremont; but his removal had become public
necessity, to which the President could no
longer shut his eyes; and this tells the whole
story.

PROPOSED SCHEME OF ENGLISH PRAcY.-Tho
tween Mr.. Henry Hayman, on behalf # himself
and several other Liverpool merchants, and Earl
Russell, proves the lengths to which the cotton
interest in England are prepared to 60 to pro-
cure the necessary supplies Of that staple. Hr.
Hayman appsises his lordshfp that he and thocs
associated with him have it in contemplation to
fit oss number of sbps to trade with New
Orleans and sevsfal other Southern ports, and
he asks that the protection Of asr Majesty's
cruisers be given to'those vessels, adding, at the
same time that if thste are state or diplomatic
reasons tbss render ovtiers to dat effect inexpe-
dent, their crews would be prepared to defend
themselves.
This is not merely eli indrest' scheme for
breaking tie blockade, but under the
law of nations it is piracy and sab

raised in the case of ne Southern prf.

The CoRPOR sTos ADVERTISING AGAM-We
nope that our city Supervisors, and gil other
officials concerned, will, as SOON as possible.
attend to and settle this litti Sbvisiness Of our
Corporation advertising. For Hahy' years, a.
if expressly for 5he purpose Of suppressing
public informatiolFon this job, that job and the
other, this advertising has beers given to our
city Uailies of the obscurest and most limited
circnation--such, for instance, as the Express,
Commercial Advertiser and the lase Day Book,
now happily defunct.s OF course a,e policy of
honesty and public economy is 70 give our
Corporation advertisements to one or two Of
our dafles which have the largest circulation.
To this end we hope committee on the subject
will be appointed to inquire into tie circula-
ton, respectively, Of our most widely read city
dailies. We are prepared for this in estgation
at any time. Our circulation yesterday, forex-
ample, was 10000, and it was not a very ex-
citing day either We have attained a tsaily issue
as high Oh 1876, 900. Next to the HERALD come
the Tribune and the Times, but far in the rear,
Tor we presume that neither the Times nor the
Tribune can boast of an average beyond Is, 900
dalies. The World, which was lately very pro-
perly vetoed by Mayor Wood as the chosen or
gan for this Corporation advertising, probably
fingers away back at something like 10000 Or
10000 for its daily circulation. Let'us have an
investigation of the circulation Of all our city
daies who are willing to submit to the trial,
and let the inquiry run through one yesry and,
let the one or the two highest get these Corpo-.
ration advertisements Is not this q farprOpo-
sition?

Phillip Rivers.
The person addressed, tajI well formed gent
Ieman Of some thirty years, turned from the
window at which he stood gang careleSsIy IN.

wavy hair shading brow broad and white ;
and his large eyes, which puzzled one to decide
Of what hue they WERE were iu'I OF expression

he laughed rather bitterly, as Charles Allen
thought.

you would like to claim as your wiie2 1t

Phillip Rivers face was couded tor mo-

replied
Aud so am; and | do not mind telling
you, CharIy, that, with all his wealth aud sue

my wife. Yes" He paused and ran his fin,
gers through the mass Of wavy hair which cIus-
tered about his white r,rahcad then, drawing
chair near the chcarlul fire, which cast a
peasant glow about the room, he continued -
" can do no better, this cayeniug, than to tell
you the story Of my life, if you would like to

Allen nodded assent
