It Will be remembered that the Convention
to nominate candidate for Congress in the
XXth District of this State (Herkimer, Jeiler-
son, and Lewis COunties) made the mistake of
nominating two candidates instead Of one
Mr.. Clinton l.. Merriam of Lewis and Mr.. Geo.
A. Bagley of Jefferson. Like sensible men
and good Republicans, seeing that they could
not both be elected, and that neither one Of
them was likely to be chosen if both remained
in the field, they submitted their claims,
with statement of the facts, to an
impartial tribunal-,Judges Bacon, DOO-
little, and Holmes-who, after reviewing
the whole case, have unanimously de-
cided that Mr.. Merriam was regularly and
fairly nominated and is entitled to the un-
divided support of the Republicans of the
District AS both agree to abide the issue,
the decision will no doubt be accepted
in good faith by all Republicans, and
will result in the election of a
competent and accomplished gentleman
to succeed Mr.. Latin. We recommend the
example of Messrs. Merriam and Bagley to
certain other districts in this State where there
are too many Republican candidates for the
number of Republican votes.

The Hon. s. S. Cox. in accepting from Tam
many denomination for Congress, made
speech, in which he saw fit to ask
"wby should we labor, why groan under the weight
Of four or Ave hundred millions OF tax, with plehorio
treasury and great army OF oce-hoders and taXfol
lectors in order to pay off the debt in ten yesrs'
Comment by The Tribune.-The present Com
gress at its late session, reduced the burdens
of Federal taxation by more than Eighty Mil
lions per annum, whereof at least Thirty Mil
lions were paid by this City. That reduction
was carried by Republican votes alone: MIR.
Cox not choosing to add his. And, instead of
"four or five hundred millions of tax" the
entire Federal revenue for 1871, provided the
taxes are left where the laws now place them,
will not exceed Two Hundred and Fifty Mil
lions, and the surplus of revenue will not
suffice to pay off the National Debt in fifty
years. How long has Mr.. Cox been asleepf

Comments Jy The Tribune.-The character OF
A. Oakley Hall, and of the gang of discreeter
(because less garriOus) scOundrels whereof he
is an ornament, is fairly exhibited in the above
paragraphs from his letter. Let us restate the
facts:
/. Mr.. Hall, in an official Message, publicly
assailed the fidelity and fullness of the Federal
Census just completed.
2. Marshal Sharpe, in response, after asking
every one TO give him notice of any omission or
defect in the Census, adds 81 propose to Mayor
"Iall that he unite with mo in requesting
Samuel J. Tilden, Chairman of the Demo
"oratio State Committee, and jackson s.
"Schutz President of the Union League Club,
"to take a new census of the 10th election
"district of the With Ward, wherefrom my
"deputies have returned but $40 inhabitants
I" in all, while 8S4 Democratic and 80 Repub-
"lican votes were cast therein at our last
"(May) election" This is the only instance
where tho Democratic vote alone exceeds in
number all the men, women, and children, re-
turned as residing in it, by the Census. OF
course, the Census is defective here if any
where, and the cost Of testing it must be
trifing.
Mayor Hall declines the scrutiny proposed-de-
clines any scrutiny by an impartial tribunal
wherein both sides are heard-but says that
he is having a census taken ex pdrte, with no
chance to Gen. Sharpe or any friend to see
that it is taken fairly! Who will put any
faith in such a censusi Who will pretend
hereafter to believe in the honesty, or even
the regard for appearances, of A. Oakley Hall
New-York tribune., 1870-10-22

The World sees fit to say of our expose of
the crusade against Gen. WOodfOrd as to the
presumptive SLAYER Augusta, that
at Is admitted that, by an agreement between Wood
ford and Oaksmith, WoOdford's fatherin-law was
appointed appraiser, and that although experienced
Judge OF vessels he set the value Of the SLAYER and
at less than half what they were actually worth"
No, that is not admitted, nor anything like
it. Other appraisers afterward appraised her
at higher valuation but that does not prove
the original appraisement too low. Vessels are
worth far more when in demand than when
came to be actually sold to the highest bidder,
brought $500. A month eaYlier, she might
have sold for far less, and a month later for
far more. We stated this before, and you
distinctly understood it.

The total loss of the steamship Cambria,
which was yesterday rumOred, is fully con-
firmed by later dispatches; and there is little
to give hope that the passengers who had
taken to tho boats have escaped. The coast
is very dangerous one, and it is evident
from the upsetting of the one.boat from which
the single survivor of the wreck was picked
up, that the sea was very rough at the time
of the disaster. Nevertheless, those who had
friends on board need not be in haste to
imagine the worst. The coast is admirably
guarded, by expert and adventurous men, and
it is not impossible that if the boats are
driven ashore, some of the passengers were
saved. Other less fatal but still serious marine
losses are reported this morning, many of
them on our own coast. The late gales were
everywhere dangerous, and we may expect to
hear for several days Of serious wrecks along
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

The decision of Commissioner Osborn in the
case of the men who Obstructed Supervisor
O'Connor in doing his duty by arresting man
who attempted illegal registration, is import-
ant Daniel Leary appeared before the Regis
ters, said he was native of Ireland and un-
naturalized, and was not allowed to register.
In an hour he returned with natu-
ralizaton papers and swOre that he was
a citizen. The Supervisor ordered his
arrest and while aiding to make it was set
upon by the men who were yesterday dis
charged by the Commissioner on the ground
that the law gives the Supervisor no power
to order an arrest or aid In an arrest. This
seems equivalent to saying to the roughs and
repeaters of this city that they will not be
interfered with. 1t is a decision, however,
which may prove to be inapplicable to United
States Marsbals in the discharge of their
duties

We notice that Gen. Banks and Gen. Butler
have both been renominated in the Conven-
tons of their respective Districts "by acclama-
ton" While We suppose that both these
Members have majority of the Republicans
in their favor, we question the expediency of
nominating in this way. If there be any dele
gates who would prefer some other candidate,
how much chance have they of expressing
their opinion They are absolutely silenced
by the war of the strongest-iunged and most
sonorous members of the Convention; and a
man may thus be returned, by the virtue of
a great noise, all his lifetime. The only true
way of arriving at the genuine opinion of the
Convention is through secret balloting

When the Delegates To the Prison Reform Associa-
tion lately in session in Cincinnati visited the Long
view Asylum for the Insane, DR.. Langdon, the
Superintendent, made rather odd speech, in which
he recommended that all reformatory institutions
for Juvenile offenders should be abolished, and the
young culprits bound out to the Shakers" The
asonishment Of the Delegates at this cool PROPOSE
tion appears to have been great Unfortunately, we
have precise report Of what the Doctor really did
say, or whether no was speaking ironically or in
earnest. Bnt, apart from . good deal of absurd
theology and a little absurd ceremonial the Shakers
are an excellent people. who would teach the boys
habits of order. industry and thrift. How they
would keep the little scamps from running away. IS

The Cincinnati Enquirer is not jolly over the

The Cincinnati Enquirer is not jolly over the
result of the recent election in Ohio. 1t says !:
POLITICALLY, there is change in the delegation But
for the outrageous apportIonmen should have had
eight or nine, at least, Of the members"
The Enquirer miscounts. Two years ago,
with Presidential election just ahead, the
Democrats chose Sir Representatives in Ohio:
now they have but fire. The Enquirer forgets
that we then lost the Toledo (Ashley's) Dis-
trict by Thousand majority. Now we carry
that, with Strader's and Dickinsons, each by
rousing majorites, and lose Schenck's by 3d.
and McClurgs by few more. The fact is
yon are decidedly thrashed and might as
well own it. And any apportionment that
would have given you eight or nine out of
nineteen Representatives, when you are beaten
10000 in the aggregate, would have been
outrageous indeed.
