City Notwithstanding Up Of the Charter
Election.

City PoIitics-sumning UP Of the Charter
Election.
In another place will be found general
review of the field and Of the candidates for
Office in tho election to be held on Tuesday
next. Considerable importance attaches to
the result not 80 much from the relative
qualifications of the contestants from political
standpoint of view-for the fact Is there Is no
political contest involved-but from the con-
sideration Of the vast interests that must be
confided to the men who are to be elected to
form the councilmanic body Of the city.
With the great and unexpected change from
republican to democratic ascendancy in the
Legislature there will naturally follow q
thorough and complete change in our munich
pal government The majority If not oil OF
the State boards and commissions police,
excise and all their congeners-will undergo
revision or certain notifications, and If these
boards should not be entirely abolished still
the form and manner Of electing the chiefs
thereof certainly will. This will attach great
deal of Importance and responsibility on the
members Of our Board of Aldermen, such as
they have not enjoyed in long time, and
hence the ardor and eagerness with which
the office has been sought after during
the campaign just closing. There Is also
o very warm contest being waged over
the vacancies in the civil and police Justice
ships, and as the term of Office Is for six years,
the salary attractive and the perquisites more
so, it is not surprising that there were SO many
qualified candidates in the field. Tammany
has had this charter election in its own hands,
and it will certainly be its fault if 1t fails to
present candidates acceptable to the people,
if not personally and politically, at least in
the great essentials of integrity and ability.
The close of the polls on Tuesday next win
decide the contest and give to the citizens a
new Councilmanic Board, full roster Of civil
and police justices, and a new school trustee
in each Of the wards Of the city. 1t is to be
hoped the result of the election will be, In all
these respects, beneficial to the citizens and
the city at large:

ANoTIsyR ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH CABLE
The government Of Portugal invites tenders
for the manufacture and laying Of submarine
cable from that country to the United States,
making the Azores Islands an intermediate
point. We have repeatedly suggested such
line. 1t can be laid with perhaps less diff
Guilty than attended the completion or the
northern cables, and point that will be an
advantage gained by us, and consequently not
to be overlooked, is that one Of the proposed
termini will be on our own shores. The more
Atlantic cables we have the better, and this
one is especially favorable on this account.

They were originally inhabitants Of this very
region, and are endeavoring to recover some
Of their old property to build new place Of
worship. As this new school Of Mormons
repudiate polygamy, and with that doctrine
expunged from their rules Of faith, the Nor
monsoutside the great Salt Lake domain are
not an Objectionable class of people, the new
colony may be very useful and acceptable in
Missouri. 1t may prove also but the beginning
of an exodus springing from the present dis
affection In Utah.

THE WHIsKRY WAR that began so suddenly
and ended so soon, just under the wall Of the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, is another assurance Of
the absolute determination Of the authorities
to enforce the revenue laws. Like all Grants
wars, it was great success, and We cannot
commend too highly the good temper Of tho
military. Twenty lives might have been taken
with ample justification, yet not single Coro-
ner's inquest will have its verdict to pronounce
against the expedition.

RooHRFoRT has made sensation in the
Corps Legislatif, but one quite in the Lanterns
style. He must have had something very
dreadful to say about the empire when he
fancied It would provoke another coup d'Stat.
Perhaps others might not have had the same
opinion Of his saying, and We think It just
possible the Emperor might not have sent In
the Zouaves to shut the mouth of the orator.

SPINNER ON FRANKINa.-Mr. Spinner
touches point in the law against the use
Of fac sinaile franks that puts that law in

ANXIOUS FOR Hrs Coon REooRp.-Trea-
surer Spinner wants to get out of Office before
he does any harm. This is new idea in
office. He tenders his resignation because he
is frightened by the fact that four billions Of
dollars have passed through his department
without q defalcatlon. He knows such for
tune cannot hold forever, and he wants to get
out Of the way before 1t changes. Unfortu-
nately for his wishes, he Is the sort Of man the
country wants to keep in place.

The Contest In the Ninth Judicial District.
William L. Wiley has been nominated by the
people of the Ninth Judicial district embracing
the Park, Washington Heights and the elegant
villas of that lovely region) as their candidate
for Police Magistrate. Upon the same ticket
is the name of Michael Hallaran, candidate
for Civil Justice in the same district. He is
well qualified for the position. Both these
gentlemen must be elected.
Captain Wiley is well known as the efficient
officer who did great service during his term of
Office in DISCRIMINATING from the lower part of
the city swarm of thieves and pickpockets.
He will be of similar service in regard to the
Park and Washington Heights district when
officially empowered to protect the locality
from the disturbing and riotous and thieving
elements that may congregate within Its
limits.
Tammany Hall does not NEEDLE in this mat
ter. The democrats who go for Mr.. Wiley
may do so with the assurance that the Tam
MANY Regency takes its hands off in the can
vass in his district. 1t is free fight. The
Police Commissioners will be sure to see that
honest and responsible canvassers are selected
for the district, and that just count is made
Of the ballots polled. This s all the people Of
the district ask, and this they demand

Mr.. BURLINaAMR AND THE COURT OF
PRUSSIA very satisfactory interview was
that of Mr.. Burlingame and the Chinese
Embassy day before yesterday with King
William of Prussia, his Queen and Cabinet
Ministers, in the royal Palace at Berlin. Mr..
Burlingame and his Asiatic friends were
received with regal state. Yesterday they
were entertained ct royal banquet;
King William, his Queen and eighty
guests of rank and distinction paying
respect to the American Chinese envoy
and his co-laborers The most friendly SEN
timents towards the purposes Of the Chinese
Embassy were expressed by Count Bismarck,
who was spokesman of the King, but the
United States came In for very large portion
Of his remarks. For this country, he said,
together with its government and people, the
North German Confederation, and Prussia
more especially, entertained the warmest
friendship. Bismarck pledged the hearty Co
operation Of the Prussian government with
the intent and policy of the Chinese Embassy
Burlingame is evidently going ahead, in spite
Of the petty obstacles in the shape Of SANDERS
and false reports which have Of late been cir
culated by the English enemies of his mission.

were wont to give sanctity to hearth and home
and to all the domestic relations should grow,
blossom and bring forth fruit. The boarding
house and the hotel give the opportunity and
present the temptation, and year by year the
ties which bind husband to wife and wife to
husband, parents to children and children to
parents, grow weaker and weaker. Where
the domestic virtues are not cultivated society
soon becomes rotten; and it must be admitted
that New York and other Of our American
cities bid fair to rival If not to surpass Babylon,
and Nineveh, and Rome. Our easy divorce
system acts as the handmade Of the demon of
the boarding house. The boarding house dis
covers elective afinities and incompatibiities.
An Indiana divorce comes conveniently to the
rescue. 1t may not be easy to induce our
people to cultivate the home feelings and to
seek away from the poisonous crowd tho
sweets of quiet domestic life; but there Is no
good reason why an Indiana divorce should
remain a blot on our civilization. But for
Free Lovism, but for our boarding houses and
our Indiana divorces, Richardson might have
been living and the McFarlands happy in their
own home. Look at this whole affair from
what point of view we may, it is pregnant with
instruction and warning. It illustrates the
effect Of bad principles, and 1t shows that
where law is violated, whether in morals or in
physics, punishment must follow.

LIVE CATTLE WEIGHED nY MEASURE
The only instrument necessary is a measure
with feet and inch marks upon it. The girth
is the circumference Of the animal just be
hind The shoulder hlades The length IS the
distance from the shoulder blades. The su-
perfcial feet are chained by multiplying The
girtb and length. The following table con
tains the rule to ascertain the weight d he
animal
If less than one foot in gir-h, multiply su-
perfcial feet by eight.
If less than three and more than one, mui-
tiply superficial feet by eleven.
Ifless than Eve and more than three, nul-
tiply superficial feet by sixteen.
If less than seven and more than five, mal
tiply superficial feet by twenty Eve.
Ifless than nine and more than seven, mul
tiply superficial feet by thirty-lhree.
If less than eleven and more than nine,
multiply superficial feet by torty.two
Example; Suppose a pig to measure ia
girth two feet, aud length one foot nine inch

feet, which multiplied by eleven, gives thirty
eight and half pounds as the weight Of The
