OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

We ask the votes of good citizens for JOSHUA
G.. ABBE for Sheriff because he is ono of them
selves-honest, faithful, patriotic pure in morals
and exemplary in all the relations of life. We
ask them not to vote for James O'Brien, be-
cause he is another sort of man.
We have been favored by Democrats with
charges and specifications respecting O'Brien
which we do not print, for reasons satisfactory
to us ; but we ask every voter to make inquiry
of trustworthy persons of differing politics who
know the man, and be guided by the sum of
their answers. If they say that he has hitherto
been a good decentralization moral, up
right, and worthy-that he has devoted his
youth and manhood to useful doing, and has
risen from obscurity to prominence by industry,
frugality, and honorable dealing (not faro
then do not hesitate to vote for him. We ask
you not to take any ones story at second hand,
but inquire of good men Of both parties who
know him well, and vote according to the sub
stance of their testimony.

uovNc TogARD SPECIE PAYMENTS

The Bank statement showing n decrease of
over three millions in the surplus of reserve,
the continued activity on call loans to spccu-
lators, the increased difficulty in negotiating
commercial bills together with the unsatis-
| factory condition of trade and manufactures
generally, give new interest to the financial
action of Congress at its approaching meet
| ing. AS usual, spectators and traders upon
borrowed money declare that the salvation
of the country depends upon further in
crease of legal-tender money, and that Congress
should without delay take from Mr.. McCulloch
the power of destroying the paltry sum of four
millions per month AS the currency can never
be- brought to specie by increasing the volume
of paper, which causes gold dollars to sell at n
premium aud as this fact is now plain to
every member of Congress, spectators and
over traders OH borrowed capital must
prepare themselves TO see n little delay by
Congress- before it commits the fatal and stupid
blunder of stopping the moderate contraction
of the currency allowed 70 the Treasury.
Contraction is now plainly seen to be not only
the first duty of Congress to the national cred
itors and to the permanent interests of the
country, but the popular policy as well. The
ms a desperate mode of meeting the expenses
of the Rebellion, and will not long suffer its
use, when the credit of the nation is where long
five per cent bonds can be sold at par. The
old plan of paper dollars redeemable in gold
at their place of issue, and the democratic idea
of hard money for all purposes, are again put
ting in their claims, and daily find new adyo-
Gates. All the signs of the times are favorable
to steady return to specie payments, and the
solvent part of the country does not expect Con-
gress to put any restriction upon the Sccrctarys
present power to retire the legal tenders, but at
proper time does expect to see Congress enlarge
it, and direct him to pay in gold every dollar
Upon the question of currency the annual mes
sage of the President and the report of Secre-
tary McCulloch will be in harmony, and specie
payment be declared the settled policy.
These officials will probably re-statc their
opinions so forcibly that if Congress should in
discrcctly attempt financial reconstruction III

themselves upon the fact that the Hon. HENRY

Both of these gentlemen in the last session
distinguished themselves by an earnest and
able advocacy of the rights and interests OF
the people of this City, and lent their whole
power to Illustrate the schemes of our " Ring
politicians. We trust that our friends in the
respective districts of those gentlemen will give
them most cordial support-for we consider
it essential to the welfare Of our City that two
such sterling champions of good government

The Hon. RICHARD YATES, Z. s. Senator

cause This Erening, at the great hall of Cooper

voters within their acquaintance have already
registered. You whose duty shall thus have
been DONE may come TO hear Gov Yates, and

DR.. ALEXANDER WILDER of The Ereaing Post
is the Republican candidate for the Office Of
Coroner. He requires no introduction TO the
people of this city. He is known by every one
to be an earnest man, an answering friend, an
ardent Republican belonging to the Radical
school of politics. and believing in it; lover
OF fair play, and of good and exact justice be-
tween all men. He took the nomination of
Coroner with dilhdence, and on pressure OF
party demand, and is the last man to decline
that post of duty and danger. On him this
party will concentrate its entire strength; he
is in the field in earnest, and, all rumors to tho
contrary, he will be candidate for Coroner
till the last vote is polled. His personal en-
dowments, his character, his untiring industry.
are worthy of the party of progress.

"Mr. Strauss, a Member of Congress from
Pennsylvania" is reported by The World to
have made a Dutch speech at the late Demo-
cratic mass meeting. There Is no such Mem
Der; the Hon. Myer StrOuse ,rds one; but a
good Republican now fills the seat he did oc-
cupy. This Strauss is reported by The World as
talking thus:

Strauss has remarkable faculty OF making
himself ridiculous.

Two years ago, CHRISTOPHER PULLMAN was
chosen to the Board of COuncilmen of our City.
He was a young man Of whom very little was
known, and of whom no sanguine expectations
were formed Several of those chosen as Re-
publicans at the same time with him proved
bad eggs and went into the Ring which
rules and robs our City. CHRISTOPHER PULL
MAN spurned the bats of iniQuity, and stood
forth conspicuous by his fearless, aggressive
warfare on the robbers. He exposed their
swindles, denounced their rascality, and deted
their malice. He was often oveuuled, yet he
succeeded in saving many thousands from their
grasp. and in shedding a flood of light on their
villainies.
Mr.. Pullman is now a candidate for Senator
from the With District, QSth, Goth, and 2lst
Wards) As Tweed is very likely to be elected,
it is indispensable that Pullman should be in
the Senate also He can do more to detect and
defeat the stealing jobs dexterously foisted into
our Annual Tax-Levy than any other living
man. Voters of the With Senate District let
us see that you know how to support good

NOW no DELL WITH JOBBERS

"Whercver you see head hit it!' That
used to be the rule at Donnybrook Fair, and 1t
applies exactly to the case of jobbers and pee
ulators who buy or beg nominations Tor pubic
trusts. Do MT be fooled into believing them all
of the opposite party, for they are found in all
parties, and the frogs of Egypt couldn't ap-
pIoach them in impudence. We can't point
them ont man by man, and warn you OF their
evil practices-you must inquire them out and
vote them down. Ifyou find the name OF one OF
them on your ballot, scratch it Off and be sure
TO put good mans name in its place. Don t
fear to "injure the party" by so doing: 1t Is
the election not the defeat, of such fellows that
hurts the party they belong to. If such men
must he elected, you help your party immensely
by voting down its share of them, and letting
the other party have monopoly of this breed
of legislators and ofliccholders. Wherever you
"see head, Init itm if you are sure that it in
closes a rascal's brain. Bettcrlct the other side
win than beat them by electing jobbcrs

THE INDIdN TREATY.

On the 21st of October the Indian Commits
sioners concluded treaty with the kiowas
and Comanches, at Medicine Lodge Creek, in
Kansas, by the terms of which those tribes
were allotted q reservation OF about 5000
square miles in the south western part OF the
Indian Territory. The United States Govern
ment promises to give each of the savages a
suit of clothes every year; to supply seeds
and implements to those who will undertake
farming; and TO distribute annually to the
tribes $4,000 worth of goods. In return, the
Indians agree to keep peace and to offer no
obstacle to the construction OF the Paclhc
Railroad. Today we publish the still
more agreeable intelligence that the
Arapahoes and Cheyennes, who at first re-
fused to attend the council, have concluded
similar bargain. These were our most danger
Gus enemies, the fercest and most influential
tribes of the Plains, whereas with the other
two we can hardly he said to have really been
at war;
1t is, of course, too soon to congratulate our
selves upon complete cessation of Indian
hostilities; but the success of the Commission
ers, so far, justifes the expectation that peace
of some sort or other is not far distant. How

selves. We are by no means confident OF its
lasting very long, because white men, when
they get out on the frontier, are apt to become
such dreadful ruffians and swindlers. The
treaty leaves our old reservation system I'M
touched; it leaves the agency business still
open to the lowest class of white rascass; 1T
subjects the ignorant savage to the same risk he
has hitherto run of being placed at the mercy of
broken-down barrOom demagogues, and robbed
for the benefit of petty hack politicians. If
we are to go on in the old way, the treaty
will be an unqualified evil. Ii will only DO
adding so many thousand Indians to the al
ready large collection of those who are regu-
larly and systematically goaded into hostility
10y theft and outrage 1t will just be putting
the savages into preserves where we can the
more readily get at them. They seem to have
understood this pretty well themselves. Our
special correspondent describes their unwilling
ness TO remove TO reservations, their dread OF
being compelled to live in houses, their sig
nfcant reluctance to have Government en-
ploy6s sent among them. The famous CHEF
Satanic made, during the council, pointed
alusion to official dishonesty, which we should
think might have made the Commissioners
blush. "When YOU issue goods" said he,
" give all that is Our due TO us. DO not hide
"dny from MS. Keep none back
The Commissioners of course have no power
10 change the policy of the Government with
relation to the Indians. Their part * only to
negotiatc,a peace. But this is merely the begin
ming. We have yet to devise some way OF
amending the whole system of our dealings
with the sayagcs, and eradicating the abuses
which brought about not only this war, but
nearly all the previous difficulties. Until we
do that our treaties will be nothing but dan
gerous decisions, and the Indian problem viii

The Hon. Daniel w. VOORHEES, of Indiana was
among the speakers at the late Democratic
mass meeting in this City. To show with what
utter recklessness and brazen eilrontery the
villain lies, we copy from The Worlds report
Of his speech as follows:
BY the act OF reconstruction the entire Black popua
tion of the South been enfranchsed and invested
White population OF Inc South has been disdHch,sed and
deprived Of any voice controlling tie present OF
shaping the future. Thus about six hundred thousand
negro added 20 the strength OF the Radical
party and nearly million OF Hhe rOteS are Snfc"' OUT
o( eriSteHee."
Tho facts which refute these Infamous false
hoods are freshly recorded, and have been
printed in all the leading journals of the coun-
try. There are not two hundred thousand per-
sons DISTINGUISHED in all the SOuth-we believe
not one hundred thousand. There are more
White than Black voters registered in the late
Rebel States In Virginia, there are nearly
Twenty Thousand more, though a still larger
number failed TO vote at the late Election. We
believe that nine-tenths of these are at heart
Republicans, deferred from voting by the pro-
scriptive power and influence of the aristocracy.
Every White who was registered could have
voted if he chose and the Whites might have
voted down a Convention, though every Black
voted for it yet the Convention is carried by
an immense majority, because at least .l3OOO
Whites voted for it, while twice as many failed

up,n to pay back one cent of the tax already
paid, however, is the widest nonsense, and
those who run any risks on such contingency
