NETWORK DAILY TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, DECEMBER O. 1862

ia referred to in this circular is we'll shown
by The London Star to BIO the hight OF IN
Justice to the Federal Government and the
loyal States.
The language of the French press is, OF
course. much more reserved, for any bold word
against the Government would, without ia'l,
BIZ followed by an advertisement" ana In
case of repetition, by suppression oil inc
paper. Still, nearly all the Liberal papers re-
present the act as ono of hostility to the Fede-
raj Union and the loyal States. The journal
des Debats, IN particular, has powerful lea
der against it. 1t says it will waive the
questions of morality and justice; though in
few words it forcibly points out, how fragrant
a violation of both any interference in favor
of the South would be, and it dwes at
length ON the material interests of France as
the most urgent reasons for maintaining the
strictest neutrality. The PresSe asks whether
it il lust "to treat on the same footing an ex-
isting recognized State and Rebellion, how
ever formidable it may be-" and it is greatly
astonished that the Minister who IS so much
afraid of seryile instruction has to say
nothing about the curse of Slavery. The
Opinion Rationale, which is supposed to be
the organ of Prince Napoleon, also considers
the proposal as highly partial to the South
and thinks that the time was badly chosen to
demand of the Washington Cabinet concessions
which it will never make but at the last ex.
tremity
The Bonapartist papers of Paris, as the
Pafrie, the Constitutional, the France, OF
course warmly advocate tho scheme, and, IN
order to leave us no doubt rs to the spirit
which dictated it, accompany it with remarks
full of abuse of the United States. The France
SAYS that it is intended "to put an end to a
savage contest in which oil the principles Of
the law Of nations and of civilization are yo-
lated" The Patrie asks whether Gan official
voice will be raised to declare that the war
in America, notwithstanding all its horrors, is
a spectacle that Europe can cooly cOntem-
plate 2" The comments of the Monde aud the
Union the organs of tho Catholic party, arc
of like character.
Both England and France, therefore, look
upon the circular OF n. Drouyn de Lhuys as
an attempt to aid tho South IN obtaining its
independence. The language of the official
press, moreover, makes it probable that II
France does not, 60 further than merely to offer
its peaceable mediation, it is mainly due to
the unwillingness OF Russia and England to
lend to the schemes of Louis Napoleon On active
support.

Let the electors OF Ncw-York to-day show
that in the government OF their city they are
resolved to have none but honest and capable
men. Partisan politics have nothing TO do
with the issue Of this contest. The only ques.
ton which the voter should consider in local
election is, " How shall / best subserye the
cause of good government ?" Clearly by voting
for honest men, Of tried capacity. Such a
candidate is Robert T. lIaws, the nominee for
Controller, whose ability "a financiet 10:

welfare of the City at heart will be lured by
partisan claims into voting for any candidate

Common Council must be purscd of all w.

expect reduced taxes aud an economical ad-

PLACES OF HOLDING TME POE.Is
We print, in another column, the places for
holding TIE polls to-day.

NoHhere so much IA in the choice of School
officers should party divisions and mere party
nominations be avoided. Men of cultivation,
men Of integrity, who will use the power these
Offices give them for the sole purpose of max
iDg the school system the most thorough and
effective possible, are the men with whom
alone the electors should endow this powerful
and important trust. Let voters Judge of the
character OF the different tickets presented 10
them by this rule. In the Fifteenth Ward, for
instance, there is third ticket, not men.

Washington Murray as Commissioner; Ben.

and Theodore b. Bronson, as Trustee. TO fill

or the other ticket, while the ticket, rs n
whole. leaves out the names of persons who.
by some Of the best citizens Of the Ward, are
held to be Objectionable for the Offices TO which
1t Is proposed TO elect them. All the gentle.
men just named are we'll known az admirably
