TODAY.

We hope there are few honest Republicans
in New-York who yet need to be reminded of
the duty which rests upon them this morning.
The voters of the State have an opportunity
to-day of taking the first measure for the ex-
tirpation of the cancer which is eating out our
political and social life,-the corrupt Judiciary
which has brought us to such sorrow and
shame Our party has nominated an excellent
ticket for the highest Court in the State, and
is strong enough to elect it if the voters will
only go to the polls. All reforms must begin
at the top, and we can easiest reach our venal
lower tribunals after we have placed the best
men we can find on the chief seats of the
bench. The candidates of the Democracy are
respectable men, but they have been nomi-
mated principally for political considerations,
and it is hardly secret that Mr.. Church is
nominated for the head place merely that he
may be got out of the way of Gov. Hoffman.
We on our part have better and very differ
ent reasons for urging the election of Henry
IL. Selucn, CndTle5 MaSOn, OHdIieS AuuTcWs,
Charles j. Folger, and Robert S. Hale. They
have been nominated solely on account of
their fitness, and we call upon all the friends
of reformed Judiciary to vote for them.
In the election of City officers, the lions
share, of course, will fall to the Ring, but that
is no reason why Republicans should not vote.
A vote for good man, and against bad one,
is protest against misgovernment which we
can never afford to neglect even though
there may be little hope of its immediate
effect; but besides this, there are several
districts of the city, and notably those in which
property -owners have the largest interests,
where honest Republicans can be chosen.
Compare the two tickets for local officers
The names on each speak for themselves.
Voters of New-York! 90 to the polls THIS
morning and do your duty.

The House of Representatives at length
voted yesterday-92 to TITO postpone all
prior orders and take up the Annual Appro-
priation bills. This practically puts the Tariff
bill aside for the session; and the House after
ward clenched its decision. We judge this
action wise, and wonder that it has been so
long postponed
And now if Congress would just pass the
Funding bill and let the Internal Revenue
alone, so as to leave Mr.. Boutwell, full-handed
for his effort to reduce the interest of the
National Debt, it would evince still greater
wisdom. If we are to fund our Debt at a
lower rate, or at lower rates, it is indlspensa-
bic that we keep reducing its volume by re-
deeming and Withdrawing bonds. To reduce
the Revenue materially is to deprive our finan-
cial Samson of his strength. Let us wait till
we can fund our debt-at least, till we have
made fair trial of the feasibility of SO doing
