OUR CITY.

Two nominating Conventions were in session
last night, each protesting to represent the loyal
UnioniSts of our city. One of them presented
for Register the present excellent incumbent,
John Keyser, with Henry Smith Gate Alderman
Of the Ist), for Supervisors the other nominated
James M. Thompson for Register, with Andreas
Willmann Isaac j. Oliver having declined in
his iayor), for Supervisor. A ticket should be
made from these two combining the names OF
Keyser and Willmann, and we trust there
will be. Mr.. WcisSmann, one OF the
retiring Supervisors, is of German birth,
and it is the general and reasona-
bic demand of the Germantown voters
of our city that one of their number be nomi-
mated to succeed him. We trust they will yet
be needed; if not, it will be the worse for the
Union ticket and all borne upon it. Mr.. VIII
mann is deserving and capable; he is trusted and
popular; and We believe he will beat Smith in
a fair race if both shall be kept in nomination.
But this is neither wise nor safe for various reas
ons We want one Union ticket in our City,
and but one lie. these two tickets be consoli-
dated, and their strength will be vastly aug
mcntcd.
One of these Conventions nominated Isaac
DAYTON (ex.Aldcrman Of the XVlth) for Surro-
gate, with John T. Hoffman (thc incumbent)
for Recorder These are good nominations.
Aid. Dayton is competent and worthy;
Recorder Hoffman is wrong in politics, but
has been faithful and fearless dispenser Of
justice. We hope TO see him reelected without,
serious opposition.

the great majority of their vessels do not mako
over eight or nine knots per hour, and we be-
lieyc there are not a dozen which can reach
twelve, while We have thirty or forty which,
under favorable circumstances, could make tf-
teen and sixtcen-ten and twelve being the ay-
erage rate Of all our good gunboats. OF course,
if England had suffered as much from pirates as
we have. she would have obtained some very
fast ships: but she would have had to build
them. We trust that before the close Of this
year our navy will possess good, swift fleets,
well managed, and that the Navy Department
will have become acquainted with the rate Of

SYMPATHY WITH RUSSIA.

A magnificent banquet, intended as an ex-
preston Of American sympathy with and re-
gard for Russia, was given at the Astor House
last evening by several hundreds Of the rner-
chants and business men Of our City to Admiral
Lissoysky and his brother officers Of tho Rus

EmbassadOr Of Russia, had consented and III
tended to be present, but, being suddenly SUM
moncd to Washington, expressed his hearty ap-
preciation Of the testimonial and its object in
a letter which was read and warmly vel
coined. This being entirely the work Oh
non-oaicial persons, the Mayor, though be at

the chair was admirably filled by James i.
Brady. James Wadsworth olIiciated as Vice
President. Prosper NJ. Wetnorc read the let

cord with the spirit Of the occasion. Baron
Osten-Sacken, Russian COnsul-Gcneral, re-

cold water. The published official proceeding
of the Board of Counclmen for the 9Th ana 9til
OF the present month show prima yfoeie that
these charges are correct, and we very earnestly
trust that his Honor the Mayor will not approve
of the proceedings without giving the matter
very full investigation, and, if he see cause
therefor, sending the same back to the Board of
Councilmen for another vote. Let the Mayor
examine the official proceedings by the light Of
these comments, and he will find that the bills
read and voted upon were for but $4,000,
while the bills now appended and sought to be
paid under that vote are in excess of $37 900.

Representations are current that there has
been foul play in the Board Of Councilmen rela-
tive to certain bills incurred by the Joint Com
mittec on National Affairs for the reception Of
certain Of the two-ycars regiments return
ing from the war. IL is alleged that
while the bills actually voted upon only
amounted to some $4,000, the bills now
produced and appended to that vote cx-
coed S37 900 in amount, and that many OF
these extra bills are excessive or altogether
fraudulent, having been frequently voted down
IA such by the honest minority Of the Board-it
recurring thrce-fourths Of all the members to
make an appropriation of money. The larger
part of the bills for $37 600 are for 'banquets, -
charged at the rate Of moro than s. per head,

Although we cannot present this speech TO our

Missouri, some further account Of the present po-
sition of the "Radicals " in that State upon the
Slavery question, derived from Mr. Blows adj
