THE COUNTY TICKEr-There are two tickets
In the field for county officers 10 be elected on
Tuesday next-the republican and the demo-
cratic tickets. The principal Offices to be filed
are those Of Recorder, Surrogate and Register.
The tickets stand thus:--
R7ssbIicln Dcmccra'ic
Recorder John sedgwick.. John II. Hacke.,.
surrogate. James NJ. Smith. Gideon j. Tucker
Register. Gen Charles G. Haplne John McCooL
The names of Hackett Tucker and Halpine
receive the support of the conservative repub-
licans and oil the democratic elements which
have by common consent combined against the
coalition Of Tammany and Mozsrt-the 'ring"
and the bargain makers There Ia an inde-
pendent element, which refuses TO he led by
the rump OF Tammany or the tricksters OF the
Mozart faction, that will sustain the gentle
men above named on principle, because they
are the best qualified candidates in nomina-
ton. Mr.. Hackett and Mr.. Tucker have been
tried In their respective Offices OF Recorder and
Surrogate, and have given abundant evidence
Of their capacity for these positions. As able
lawyers and conscientious public officers they
proved themselves entirely satisfactory and
entitled to a reelection. Mr.. Sedgwick the
republican candidate for Recorder, is o very
nice and very promising young man. He made
pretty respectable Assistant District Attor-
ney. But the public do not know much about
him. Some ten or fifteen years hence he may
probably make a promising candidate for Re-
corder. As to Mr. J. M. Smith, Jr., the little
of xuaL un ~ - ~ oh 70 odv
tage, and in comparison with his rival candl-
date for Surrogate, Gideon J. Tucker, whose
record is altogether satisfactory Dir. Smith has
no show 10 make. !.
Looking at the two tickets for county officers,
however, we find one man who Is the roast
beef and plum pudding and the Irish stew
also of his ticket That Il Miles O'Reilly, "the
bould soger boy" the candidate for Register,
against McCool, Fernando Woods white man
Friday, who has enjoyed the emoluments OF
that Office for two years TO the tune of about
eighty thousand dollars, less the percentage
paid to his master Fernando. O'Reilly, alias
Halpine, has record Of which he need not BIO
ashamed. He made o brilliant career by his
services rendered during the war. His quail
icati0ns for the Office no one will doubt. A
consistent conservative and in every respect
capable man for the Office, there can be no
hcsita ion between supporting him and the
rival candidate, Woods man McCool, who has
already had enough of the spoils and ought to
retire gracefully. We presume that the people
have discrimination enough to select from
these two tickets for county officers the most
eligible candidates, and we have no doubt they
will do so al the polls on Tuesday next
THE RAILROAD jon on BRoADwAY.-The rail-
road jobbers who perpetrated the outrage OF
tearing mp Broadway and laying down double
railroad track from Fulton street across to Ann
street last Sunday, are, it seems, to be permit
ted to obstruct the business Of the city and 10
render Its great thoroughfare impossible with
out let or hindrance from the city authorities
Yesterday, in the busy hours OF the morning
and afternoon, the confusion was beyond de-
scription, and all travel was interrupted, to
say nothing Of the imminent danger to life and
limb attendant upon such condition Of affairs.
But there seems to be no remedy for the evil.
The Mayor Of the city 10 of cectonesring, in-
stead OF issuing orders TO the Street Commits
sioner to remove the track and TO replace
every stone The secret Of the inaction OF the
city authorities is probably TO be found In the
fact that the supporters Of the Mayor for Gov
crnor are the parties interested in the Dry
Dock and Ninth Avenue Railroads. These are
jobs to which Mr.. Thurlow Weed and his friends
are parties, and we cannot discover that they
have authority in any OF the laws they have lob
bied through the Legislature TO cross Broadway
at Fulton and Ann streets. II seems IS though
they had taken advantage Of the election 10
defy the city and 10 construct their track. The
disgraceful scene enacted on the Sabbath,
which came near producing riot, proves how
secure the railroad jobbcrs feel in the protec-
ton and cooperation Of the Mayor OF the city
and the Street Commissioners Department.
What are M. Hoffman and Street Commits
Issioher Cornell in Office tort What are their
dutiess Have they no power 10 prevent such
an outrage - this Broadway railroad job OF
Thurlow Weed a Coz Tho Mayor can defeat
public improvement for his own purposes.
Can he not prevent public obstruction and
bntragei There ere charges that the Street
Commissioner has Incorporated thousands
Of dollars OF the cliy's money In bogus jobs.
Il he poverless 10 prevent the principal
,horoughfare OF the city from being torn up by
set OF railroad jobberss lie, rs know upon
whom the responsibility for thi, outrage and
its continuance rests
