Friends throughout the State! be of good
cheer We shall make gains enough in this
City and Brooklyn to secure our triumph if
you keep up your emo. There are 1hirty-eigH
thousand Fire Hundred and NinetyJoar names
less on the registries of the two cities than
there were one year ago. There are at least
Twenty Thousand fraudulently there now, and
we shall try hard to prevent the polling of
votes on these fraudulent names; but the
Thirty eight Thousand not registered are sure
not to be polled any how. So take hold in
every County and at every poll and help us
rescue our State from the clutch of the rob-
bers who stole her vote from Grant and Colfax
and foisted the tool of the Erie Ring into the
chair of John Jay and the Clintons!

GETTING Used TO 1T.

We are getting used to it-this smashing up
and manglng by rail, and this roasting alive
and drowning by steamer. In the days OF the
Lexington and Central America, and when the
New Haven Railroad train was run into the
draw mt NOrwak, we were horrOr-5truck and
spoke one TO another with bated breath. But
that time has passed away, and now we hardly
give moments attention to the customary
Railroad Accident" department of the morn
ing journal or the latest Steamboat Horror
i'm the West, unless, indeed, the Transportation
Company supplements the news by sending as
tho torn and charrcd remains of some dear
friend or relative. A sleepy engineer wakes
up from nap and stupidity runs his cars upon
the track right in the path of an approaching
express train. which crashes headlong into
them, killing or burning alive ore Of the
passengers; the map is arrested, indicted, tried
and acd6ltted by a sympathizing jury. More
fortunate than "poor Griffin" even, are the
authors of the latest accident" The cOnduc-
tor and engineer Of an emgrant train on the
Union Pacific Railroad, disregarding all the
customary signals, come down at full speed on
n disabled train. and kin six persons and wound
five. II tho same fellows had, by an equally
careless handling of firearms, shot as
many of the passengers intrusted to
their charge, their bodies would prob
ably have adorned the nearest tree. But
they used locomotive instead of cold lead,
and were Immediately dismissed by the Di-
vision Superintendent to seek employment,
we suppose, on some Eastern road, where their
opportunities will be greater, and where they
may probably furnish tho newspapers and tho
country with anOthet Mast Hope within a few
months.
Far moro terrible than either the Mast Hope
or the Pacific Railroad accident, was the burn
ing OF the Stonewall on the Mississippi River
last week, and yet it hardly drew forth n com.
ment in this part of the country. The fact is,
we have come TO look at the gross disregard
for tho safety of the travelling public
as matter of course. The whole
sale slaughter of load of passengers
may call forth from Congress a law
forbidding this or that practice as prejudicial
to public safety, but the law is forgotten, often
before Congress adjourns, or if remembered is
willfully set at naught Only year ago the
law prohibiting the transportation of petroleum
on passenger steamers and that governing the
course to be pursued by pilots when signals
are misunderstood, were broken, and n collision
and fire occurred on the Ohio River. in which
scores of passengers were sacrificed. If there
il no law to prevent men from smoking or
taking candle among hay on board passcn

We wish that some clergymen would be
little more moderate in their denunciation Of
amusements, for a mistaken zeal is likely 10
do more harm than good. Here, for instance.
six ministers of religion in BucyIus, Ohio, have
united in public protest against dancing at
"any time or anywhere as an amusement AS
if dancing might not be. under proper regula-
tons, healthful and perfectly innocent diver
sion. The only result of bigoted and ascetic
hostility to its practice 4" at any time or any
"where," is to remove dancing from the list
of household pleasures, to encourage ball-going
with its late hours and other unwhOlesOme ex-
elements, and to make young people hypo-
critics, ready to break away from all restraint
upon the first opportunity. Simply considered.
dancing is bodily motion regulated by music;
and as an exercise for children, 1t should be
encouraged rather than prohibited.

Now comes the Tammany Ring in new and
portentous role. 1t is about to set up in the
line of Temperance Reform! Here we have
the Tammany Committees issuing circulars de-
nouncing Gen. Sigel because of an alleged
opposition to the Excise law, begging all good
Temperance Republicans to paste the name
of Homer A. Nelson over that of Franz Sigel,
and furnishing slips duly printed, clipped and
gummed for such FASTING. 1t won't work.
There may be few Temperance men unwise
enough to think they can help the cause by
going against Sigel but not one green enough
to think of helping it by going for Democrat
That campaign money was ill-spent.

Flowers are usually supposed to be refining
and pacific in their influences, but they have
occasoned a queer law suit in Massachusetts.
At the Amherst Agricultural Fair recently
held, two gentlemen exhibited their foricul-
tural wonders; but the reporter ma king a mis-
take las reporters sometimes do) gave credit
to one exhibitor for the flowers of both. Tho
gardener whose identity was thus ANONYMOUSLY
absorbedI charged his rival with misleading
the reporter by claiming both collections as
his own. Upon this cultlvatOr No. sues No.
1 for defamation of character" and fixes his
ad damnum at the sum of $500. Such SUIT
will hardly be promotive of the good feeling
which should exist between those who are
devoted to common and lovely pursuit; and
we advise plaintiff and defendant to exchange
bouquets and make it all up.

The World skulks away from our proposal to
establish and proclaim the circulation of our
respective journals by the judgment, after
thorough scrutiny, of impartial arbiters, but
proceeds to argue that it ought to have more
subscribers than THE TRIBUNE. Perhaps 1t
might have if it were not detested by large
portion of its own party quite as intensely as
by the Republicans. But this is neither here
nor there. We charge that its returns to the
U. S. Revenue Assessor of our district are pre-
meditated outrageous, deliberate frauds
intended to gain for it Advertising
to which it is not entitled, and which its true
circulation, if known, could never secure We
dare it to come to the light assuring the pub
lie that scrutiny would prove its claim an
impudent imposture. 1t will not accept our
challenge, because it dare not. But the public
will understand that its pretenses are frauds
just as though it did accept and were thor
oughly exposed. Mark its response to this re-
newed challenge!

The Democratic inspectors appointed in GER
tain Brooklyn election districts, to the entire
exclusion of Republicans, seem to have been
jealous enough in doing the dirty work for
which they were chosen. In the lid District
of the Eighteenth Ward. on Saturday, Re
publican citizen who had lived in the neighbOr-
hood (though not in the same districD for
many wears. was refused permission to register
unless he could bring PROOF that his name Oas
not on the registry of the district IN Which he
lired last year! OF course this was an infs-
nous violation of the law; inspectors have no
right to exact any such proof. and their refusal
to register u name without it is an offense for
which the act prescribes penalty of $50. We
hope that every man who has lost his vote by
this kind of outrage will take measures 70
have the penalty enforced.

We wonder if Miss Olive Logan authorized
the publishers of her new book to advertise it
as Truthful, Moral. Heightened, Sensational.
"Rich, and Racy." If she did (Which we doubt
she must be pretty careless of her literary
fame; for not one reader in a thousand worth
having would buy book advertised after
that show bill fashion, even although printed
(as we are informed that this isl upon rose
tinted paper" Neither can we understand
why Miss Logan should be announced by her
publishers rs "The Great Reformer OF tho
Stage" In the first place, we should like
some evidence that the stage has been =" re-
formed" and secondly, if Miss Olive has
really accomplished this great work, a succinct
history of her ways and means would be graft
flying to the nquiring mind.

A man has just been sentenced to one years
imprisonment and fine of $500, in trial be-
fore the U. 8. Circuit Court Judge BenedicD,
for violating the Post0flice laws, in sending
by mail packages of indecent books and
obscene pictures. He had adopted very in
geniOus method of concealing his operations,
but he was clearly convicted of the offense.
Judge Benedict not only imposed the full
penalty of the law, but very properly refused
to entertain motion to stay the sentence.
We trust that we will hear of a few more ex-
amples and warnings of this kind. The mails
are largely used for the transmission of inn
moral and indecent publications, and there is
no othef way Of preventing this than by en-
forcing the law of which it is a violation.
Fortunately, cases of this kind can be tried
before United States Courts.

ger steamer, it is because common sense ought
to teach them better. To prevent the recur-
renee of such disasters we want stringent laws,
but we want them also rigidly enforced. Yet the
remedy lies partly with the travelling public;
if passengers refused to patronize any line of
steamers on which every precaution for safety
required by law was not observed. owners and
commanders would very soon vie with each
other in their efforts to do away with dangerous
practices. AS long, however, as the people re-
main as apathetic as they are now, we must
expect to hear, every few days, the report OF
another terrible disaster.

The London Times, which long ago honor
ably said that Irish landlordism was the most
Infamous of tyrannies, is now more British
than liberal in advocating q moderate land
measure 1t would be unwise.' says the accom-
plshcd and philosophic trimmer, I" to NEEDLE
with the land question at all unless we effectu-
"ally quiet the present tenants" So we think
but if by moderate measure is understood
something short of tixity of tenure, by which
the Irishman can have claim upon the land
of his birth, and security for whatever inn
provements he may effect by his industry, the
tenants will not be satisfied. 1T would be
hort-sighted to sacrifice the next generation"
says The Times. But how many past generations
have been sacrificed That is question
which We suggest earnestly to those whose par
simony and cowardce as politicians, whose
want of faith in the people has made lreland's
retrospect shameful and her prospect doubtful.

Frank Blair in 1863. 1t gave list of some
scores of Democratic candidates who return no

Asa Packer they dodge their duty. There is

THE BUSINESS or TO-DAY.

One day vet remains in which citizens can
gather the information necessary to an intelli-
gent vote. If not successful in obtaining
knowledge of the character of each candidate,
consider it primd tdcie evidence that he is a
good man, if you find him on good ticket.
1t il better to vote the whole ticket, taking
the risk of there being upon it man who
may turn out badly than to neglect the ballot
box The election of number of good candi-
dates, even though there be one or two black
sheep in the flock is preferable TO letting the
interests of the State go to the wolves. The
ticket of 1864 had Andrew johnson upon 1t 1;
but his worst efforts fell far short of the evils
that would have followed Democratic cleo
ton.
We have to encounter an INSCRIPTIONS oppo-
stion. In this city vast number OF votes
will be cast by voters whose very existence Is
problematical. They come, rs men who nave
been dead for years come to the registry and
the polls in California. Not seen in the flesh,
their names and votes appear, and the latter
are invariably Democratic. They will pour
down upon us in swarms to swell the ranks of
our opponents. All this must be met and
vanquished. Republican apathy, If not so
criminal as Democratic fraud, is even more
dangerous Let not both assist our adver-
sarlcs.

CITY md COUNTY.

The candidates nominated by the Republi-

Ticket are known Ia. be good and able men.
Most of them have been candidates before. and
need no commentator. We have said little in
their behalf, because they seemed to have a
Door chance of election, and we did not choose
TO waste our own or others efforts. But the
Democratic Union has presented so able and
stronp ticket-one SO decidedly superior to
its Tammany rival-that no one can say how
the Democratic vote will be divided, hence no
one can tell what may be the result. But we
beg every voter to bear in mind that the Re
publican County Ticket is as follows, ana vote
