goou man Tor most repubiicanS TO endorse.
Unqaestionably therefore, Mr.. Blunt will be
defeated.
Several copperhead factions have nominated
Mr. Godfrey Gunther as their candidate for
Mayor. Mr.. Gunther has been a candidate for
the same OfIce before. and his previous failure
may givc him some faint idea of what he has to
expect al the coming election. Mr. Gunther is
a German by birth fur merchant by profess
sion. and copperhead in politics. He was
chairman of the great disunion peace meeting
last spring which sowed the seeds of
the terrible riots in this city. He has
been nominated! by copperheads, and stands
upon copperhead platform, and will
receive only copperhead votes. Mozart
Hall may possibly sustain him; but il she does
it will be new illustration Of the Scrptural
saying that when the blind lead the blind both
fall into the pit We are glad to believe that
MIR. Gunther's prospects of an election are 80
! exceedingly diminutive that you cannot see
them even with microscope. Our citizens are
not all rioters and have no liking for those who
affiliate with rioters The mobs in New York
did damage enough by burning houses and sa-
crifcing lives, and need not attempt to COM
| plete their work by eecting Gunther.
! The third candidate, and the one who will be
elected, is City Inspector Boole, the nominee of
Tammany Hall. This organization is the only
remnant of the old conservative democracy
which fate has left us. Such men as the
| two Woods, the two Seymours and the mana
gers of the Albany Regency have destroyed
all the rest of the old party. 1t will now have
to be entirely reorgauized, under the leader
ship of new men, and Tammany Hall Is the
nucleus for this reorganization. If Tammany
had refused TO unite with Mozart and the peace
mongers at the recent State election, she would
have been great deal stronger than she is
now; but still, having learned wisdom by expert
ence, she is at last resolved to keep upon the
platform pure and simple. Mr.. Boole is in
every respect war candidate. He is plain,
poor man, and the most honest of all our New
York politicians. He has been an Alderman
and is now City Inspector. In both of these
Offices he has displayed that vigor and energy
which we require in Mayor Of such city as
this. He offered and carried through the strong
war resolutions in the Common Council about
| "
of those resolutions. He is now raising regi-
ment Of the New York National Guard, having
received his commission as colonel from the
powers at AlssaGy. AlsaGGyy. IL believes in putting
down the rebellion by force Of arms and abo-
litionism by force of votes. He understands
municipal affairs thoroughly, and knows whom
to watch and whom to trust in administering
| fho oc;t, VI he, kho e1;
est doubt that in three months after his elec.
ton Mayor Boole will win golden opinions
from all well wshers of this metropolis, no
matter to what party or faction they happen
to belong. This has been his experience as
City Inspector, and there is no reason why he
should not repeat it as Mayor.
General Rosecrans and the War once
l .-.s-s Anoth~~ st~s~s OF Aocussti~ns.
Washington writer to the New York Tri-
bune, who has evidently been posted up at the
War Office, produces numerous catalogue OF
specifications for the removal Of General Rose
cerrsns lrop bis late command. We will briefly
state them.
In the first place, it appears that "the War
| Department was first surprised, then anxious,
and at last openly indignant, at the delay after
| the victory Of Stone river" (Murfreesboro).
| Against numerous appeals he had failed to
move against Bragg in support Of Gen. Grant
at Vicksburg, and "out of this failure grew an
irritating correspondence" Secretary Stanton,
we are informed, would telegraph, ~ am very
much dissatisfied with your long delay, and
think, unless you move at once, the country
cannot justify your COURSE" General Holleck
would write:-"I feel very kindly to you, Gene
ral, and have the highest respect for the abili-
ties you have 80 signally displayed but
be assured that neither your reputation
nor mine can withstand the effects of
this delay at crisis when the exgencies
of the service so imperatively demand move
ment.' The President would write:-"I am
very much grieved by your unaccountabe
| delay am bound to believe that you, on the
| ground, are the best Judge of what you can do;
| but you see how vitality important movement
| is, and you give me no reasons that seem to me
satisfactory for your delay" To all this it is
said, General Rosecrans would answer:-"I
| know what the country needs, and know, too,
what the army needs. l must have my COM
munications and supplies secure. 1t has never

stay there. If am not competent to command
the army you can remove me; but while re-
main in command | must use my own dlscre-
ton." We are further told that "such passages
as this did not occur once OF twice only, but
frequently" aud that this sharp correspondence
"was the initial cause Of the War Departments
dissatisfaction"
In the next place, when General Rosecrans,
after over five months delay, with an army Of
six,y-fve thousand men, against Bragg's army
Of forty-nve thousand men, did advance to
Tullahoma, he was impeded by the June fresh.
