CITY EoMINA TIoNs-THE ELECTION.


We greatly commend the public spirit Of Don
Aionzo Cushman in accepting a nomination for Alder
man. as we do the wisdom of the Republicans and
independent citizens of tho IXth District who have
nominated him. For over 40 yeats Mr.. Cushman has
boen prominent merchant Of this city, and is among
our most influential citizens and heaviest taxpayers.
He could well afford to do without office; but his
promp. willingness to enter tho field in opposition to
the prevalent average of dishonesty is good sign that
our bcst citizens are not indifferent TO the msgoyern-
mont which extracts 30 much every year from their
pockets. Mr. Cushman's candidacy shows a way by
which fraud and ignorance in Office may be overcome,
if only men Of undoubted responsibility will try 1t.
We shall not bo successful until our wOrthiest men
take open part in the civic crusade against corrup-
ton, and VIC are glad TO record that Mr.. Cushman is
among the first TO enter tho lihs. His election is
almost assured.
The nomination Of Councilman Christopher Pull
man in tho XVIII District, and Councilman VIM.
B White in tie With District, are but small recog-
milton tho earnest honesty with which these gentle
mon have fought the proGgacy of our city rulers. To
their efforts especially is due tho final defeat of the
gas swindle, by which tho city was to be robbed to
tho tune Of millions We cannot spare thom from the
CITY service, anu IL ~ " tual BOOu
Of all parties will cordially unite in securing their
election.
Col. Joel W. Mason, chair manufacturer, IS the
UnionRepublican candidate for School Commissioner
in the With District Of this city. Seven years ago
he represented the Tenth Ward in tho Board of Coun
cilmen, and proved himself an honest aud efficient
officer The district is strongly Democratci but,
because of division, two candidates are run by the
Democracy, and hence, il proper efforts are made,
Col Mason may be elected.
Samuel Il. PATTERSON, Ihpublcan candidate for
School Commissioner in the lVth District, and in
dorscd by the Democrats, is another nomination of
the same character as Mr.. Cushman He is President
of tho Stuyyesaat Fire Insurance Company, was
Councilman in 1864, and at the last election gained
1000 votes more than his ticket as candidate for
School Commissioner. oE'
On Tuesday next, New-York elects Controller for
four years. The Democratic organizations present
Richard b. and Michael Connolly. They are both
strong with their party aud likely toabOut equally
divide its ordinary adherents. The Republican can
ddate RICHARD KELLY has only TO receive the support
of his political friends TO render not only possible but
probable his success in the OF that support he
is eminenty deserving. Let it be given with will.

wHAT SHALL We DO TO BE SAVED ,


Following the depression Of defeat that seized the
hearts Of the Rebel citizens Of the South, came
CANT and overreaching confidence, based on the old
dogma that by cotton the South controlled the world
In the Autumn Of 1865, the declaration that "the
world must have cotton and the South aone can
supply it, was as frequently and emphaticaly repeated
as during the Winter Of 1860 and the Spring Of 1861
when the assumption Of British intervention was based
on the prediction of n cotton famine in Manchester
The rush Of spectators from all parts OF tho
world into the Southern States TO gather up
the cotton that had escaped the destruction
of the Rebellion, the leasing plantations by Northern
men, the influx Of capital and supplies into all of the
Southern Cities the offers Of factors to advance means
to planters to make crops, aud the anxiety Of the
freedmen TO labor combined to inspire the belief that
notwithstanding his poverty and defeat the cotton.
planter still ruled the nations aud commanded their
finances
In the Spring of 1865, the dsheartened, demoral
lied planters offered to sell plantations for from
s5 10 500 per acre that before the war would have
commanded from S5Oto Sl2O per acre but in the
Winter Of the year. encouraged by the events of
the Summer and Fall, they advanced their
prices to S25 and $50, and many who had been eI.
ceedingy anxious to sell at any price, however low,
subsequently refused to sell for any reasonable con-
sideration.
When the planting season opened, the whole region
Of the cotton. growing zone was big with hopeful Of
forts, and it was confidently predicted that in de-
fance of the disorganization of the labor and tho
poverty Of the planters, nearly full average crop OF
cotton would be produced. stA..t@r
Millions of capital were invested in the purchase of
stock aud supplies, laborers were employed at high
rates. plantations were leased at prices per annum ex'
ceeding what they could have been purchased at ten
months earlier and every effort was put forth to pro.
duco cotton. Evory othor Drop and enterprise was
sacrificed to cotton. The whole South was devoted

New-York tribune., 1866-12-01

Acting upon the charge of Judge Lott as to the
bribery Of conventions and electors the Grand Jury
Of Kings County have summoned before them the
members Of the Convention which nominated Mr..
Demas Barnes, Congessman-elect. This is done with
view to thoroughly ventate the charge that this
suspected Convention was in any part brbed to reject
worthy nominee, and select less worthy one. The
jurys action is obviously singular but it is to be ad-
mired. If every judge administered as good caution
as Judge Lott and suspected politics could be visited
with an honest grand jury, we should feel more as
sured Of the stability of the public virtue.
New-York tribune., 1866-12-01

II will be a momentouS gain for the cause Of a re.
formed City Government to elect man Of financial
experience so disconnected with elques and coteres
as RICHARD KgLIY. In both party affiliations per.
sonal relations, Judge Kelly ia in position TO devote
his untrammeled energies to the interests OF the tax
payers and people Of this great city, We are satisfied
that those interests will be as safe in his hands as are
those of the depositors in the Savings Banks, the
stockholders in the other Institutions which have
made him their chief officer.
