TO the city and county delinquency.
ia tbe city end county, into view. we we see see
four soldiers on the Republican ticket, and bat
State the Republicans have elected General
9eary as Governor, General Hartrauft as Au.
veyor-General, and the Governor appointed
General Jordan Secretary of State. Last year,
Deeds. and he appointed as his assistants
Colones .Giveu and Blles. Captain Conner, a
one legged soldier, they elected City Commis-
sioner and IL may he said that Major Weaver
was elected City Commissioner by Repub-
lican votes. Colonel Gideon Clark, by appoint
ment OF Republican Governor, is Master
warden, and by such appointment we nave
General Sickels as our Health Ohicer, General
Bodine as our Flour Inspector; and by the
appointment of President Lincoln, we have
Colonel tGlmaker as Uuited States Marshal for
this district. This, we maiutain, is pretty
liberal array of soldiers In office, and all of them
owe their elections or appointments to the
Republicans. II the Republican grumblers Will
look over the list they may feel less like COM
planning. There are great many civilians In
Philadelphia, and 10 would be unfair aHd unrea-
sonable not to give them some of the offices.
Many of the men employed in the offices OF the
soldiers named are sold iers, and were appointed
because Of their services in the war. II q full
list of the soldiers holding office in the city
through the efforts of Republicans were pub
plain because there are no soldiers on the Re-
publican city and county ticket"
The same writer has the following also on the
Importance of the coming electlon:-
"Although there is no President Congress
our election will be of great importance IN its
influence on the elections of next year. The
Influence of the result in this State Is always
great on the general result. and the result in
The State may be determined by the vote of this
city. The party that wins this year in
Pennsylvania will have a great advau.
tage in the contest next year, not only as
TO this State, but the entire country. The
elections of next year will be of the highest
political Importance They will determine who
snail he the next President and Vice-President,
and which party shall control the next Con-
gress. and the vote OF Philadelphia next month
may decide the Presidential contest OF 1868. aud
do much to determine the future com plexion
(personal and politicaD of Congress. Next year
we shall have to vote in this city for President
and Vice President, five members of Congress,
two Senators and eighteen Representatives in
the State Leglslature-who will elect United
States Senator in place of Mr.. BucSalew, whose
term will expire March 4. IS69-a Mayor Dis
trict Attorney, City Solicitor, Prothonotary OF
Common Pleas, Receiver of Taxes, City Com
missioner and City Controller; also, Auditor
General and Surveyor General of the State 1t
is believed by many that voters will be less
particular than usual this year in supporting
the nominees of the parties to which they
respectively belong, because the offices to be
filled are not such as usually arouse party spirit
but in view of the influence this election will
have upon the general result next year, there
appear TO be the strongest reasons why voters
should strictly adhere to party this fall"
