Room FOR HoPE.-There are at least ten
thousand men who expect to be in Grants
Cabinet and must necessarily be disappointed.
1t will be bitter to them when they read the
list and do not find their names there. They
need not despair, however, for the first Cabi-
net may fail, and then he will have second,
or even third. Every one can build hope
on this. Did Grant build this as golden
bridge for his enemies, fearful to make the
disappointed ten thousand too desperate?

bridge transit, from the fact that 1t can be fur
nished by this route far cheaper than by any
other. It is by such connections as these
that we shall keep pace with the demands
made upon US by the commerce Of the world.
As it is our destiny to he the great banking
and trade centre, we must not fail to have the
most rapid, the surest and cheapest communi-
cation with the West. Until we span the Hud-
son we are not so near .he Pacific Ocean and
China as we can be; and while there is q
chance to cut of single mile between us and
any great commerce our business men win be
narrow in their energies and efforts If they
fail to make use of the engineering talent
which stands ready to break down all barriers.

The Council of Censors elected 10y the

their labors and have called Convention

amendments 10 the Constitution which
they have promulgated.
The Council are not unanimous upon
the policy Of adopting all the proposed

propositions of amendment On which
they believe the people desire TO act.
The reasons for making the proposals
of amendment have been substantially
set forth in the reports Of the several
committees, which have been 80 extern
sively published that it is not deemed
necessary TO repeat those reasons here.
The integrity and intelligence OF the peo-
pie are sufficient guaranty that none Of
the proposals will find place in the Con-
stitution except "such as are necessary
for the preservation of the rights and
happiness OF the people.
The Council have also performed the
other duties imposed on them by the Con-
stitution, and their action aud recon-
mendations will be found in the reports
of their committees and in the published
proceedings Of the Council, TO which the
people are most respectfully referred.

IHE PUBLIC SCHOOL TRUSTEES.

In connection with the rumors OF proposed
reorganization Of the School Board there Is
a report in circulation that Superintendent
Richards Is laboring to procure the removal Of
several members Of the Board, in order to get
Bosrd In entire sympathy with himself-a
'Richard's Board" as the phrase goes.
We do not credit this report for the rea5on
that we believe Superintendent Richards has
too much sense to desire or expect to get q
Board Of wax to be moulded entirely to his
purposes. II would also be In direct evasion
of the spirit and purpose OF the recent OF the
Councils defining The duties of the Superinten.
dent. and which, in placing him subordinate to
the Trustees, intended that the Board hould be
composed Of men Of experience, capacity and
weight Of character, who would be the pup
pets Of nobody.

II Ohio there Is apparently but little interest
teit by tae people 1t large IN the result OF the
election which takes place on the I2tn instant,
and 1t is generally conceded by both parties
that the vote will be light. This circumstance
Is always favorable TO the Democrats In that
State, as indeed il is almost everywhere, bat
so far as we hear the Republicans entertain no
fears as to the result. Nevertheless, judging
from our exchanges, they are trying their best
to get out their whole strength In addition
the interest attaching TO the success Of the Stat
ticket, the Legislature elected this fall will
have the re-distrIcting OF the State under the
new spportionment; and upon this division o
territory by the party controlling the Legisia.
ture the political complexion Of the next dele.
CATION in Congress from that State will largely
depend. Accordingly, as both parties are un-
derstood 70 be well versed in TIE science of
gerTymandering, the struggle over the local or
county tickets promises to be unusually we'll
contested and exciting.
