Most suggestive is the Democratic COM
mendation heaped upon Mayor Hall and Com
missioner Tweed for their action in regard to
the attempted gas-burner swindle by Demo-
cratic Common Council. We are called upon
to praise these officials because of their stead
fast resistance to lot of thieves bent upon
stealing some hundreds of thousands of dollars
out of the City Treasury, but we are not
reminded that these very thieves are Demo-
cratic Aldermen, elected upon new plan
specially devised and warranted by TammaDy to
keep such characters out of office. 1t was
heralded as the browning virtue of the new
Charter that it would effectually close the
doors of our Common Council against the cor
morants who had so mercilessly and shame
lessly robbed us; but the first batch OF
municipal legislators it has given us attempt
raid upon the public purse so brazen that
Tweed and Hall earn public plaudits by
thwarting the thievery of their friends Our
affairs have come to sad complexion when a
chief result of the Tammany Charter is to
impose upon Mr.. Tweed the horculean task
of saving us from the extOrtions of his I'M
deTlngs.

The portrait of the Democratic candidate ct
the head Of their State ticket, as drawn by
himself which we yesterday presented to our
readers, proved of such interest that we have
many inquiries as to where the rest of Gov.
Hofmans remarkable evidence against Mayor
Hoffman can be found. What we printed was
taken from several pages of equally choice tes-
timony given on the oath of December, 1903,
by Gov. Hoffman, when brought as a witness
before the Select Committee of Congress on
Alleged New-York Election Frauds, then in ses-
sion in this city. 1t can be found in full on
pages 90 to lie of that Committees Report,

The rapidity with which the French are
pushing on in the career OF victory which, ac-
cording to our esteemed friend The World,
they have been pursuing ever since the bap-
tism of fire at Saarbruck, must be highly
gratifying to the eminent strategist WHO alone
of all mankind has OWNED the real signiii-
canoe of the operations of the campaign. 1t
is well known ION the unimpeachable authority
of our neighbOr) that the main army OF the
Germans, after experiencing severe defeats at
Weissenburg, FOrbach, GravelOtte, and Sedan,
was driven into very tight place around
Paris, and in spite of all its efforts to get
away has been held there by Gen. Trochu and
NJ Gambetta, until it is now on the point OF
starvation and nearly ready to surrender. All
the principal Prussian generals have been
killed except the King, who is a raving maniac.
In the meantime second German army has
been imprisoned in front of Metz by Marshal
Bazaine (who, so to speak, has held his adyer-
sary down by inserting his own nose between
the Prussian's teeth for that purpose), until
the time came for grand strateglcal move
ment which should drive that army also into
the tight place before Paris. The movement
aforesaid has now been executed, and the
starvation of the entire armed force OF Ger
many may he hourly expected, unless Nm.
Trochu and Gambetta should resolve from mo-
tives of humanity to let the troops go home
A full explanation of this latest French We
tory will probably be found in this mornings

SHORT YORK WITH A PRETENDER.


We purpose dealing very briefly with Ihe
Worlds ingenious attempt to vindicate tho
honesty of the election, in district where the
poll-books show more votes than the Census
returns show inhabitants.
II SAWS in effect, that the Census is mac
curate. because it does not correspond with
the enrolment of 1868. Very well; why then
skulk away from Marshal Sharpe's challenge
for a fair, honest open retaking of the Census
in the disputed districts, by an impartial, non
partisan committeei We think the Census
honest; but if you, who profess to think IL
dishonest, can only be cOaxed to the point, we
propose to test it in a manner that shall leave
no possible opening for dispute. Are you
ready for the test-Yea or Nayf
This challenge has been before Mr.. Mayor
Hall, the official assailant OF the Census when

saw him committing, for nearly two months

Census; and respectfully invite the Mayor OF the CITY
OF New-York to unite with me In the appointment OF Mr.
Samuel J. Tilden Chairman OF the Democratic State Cen

the Union League Club TO review the Census returns OF
the Xth Election District OF the Sixth Ward where the
total number Of Inhabitants is found to be So and the

The trial by court-martial of the cOlored ca
Diet at West Point being now over, very little
can be said until the finding of the court is
known. Thus much, however is clear, that
Cadet Smith has very respectable intellectual
ability, and has shown manly disposition to
stand up for his rights. He appears to have
been too prompt in breaking the cOcoa-nut
dipper over Cadet Wilson's head; but that
member doubtless represented to him for the
time the collective heads of the white cadets
who had subjected him to humiliatng ill-treat-
ment. And whatever may be the result of the
trial, officially it is certain that Smith has lost
no standing by it, even among those least IA
vorably disposed toward him.

People who cOnllne their newspaper reading
TO the columns Of a certain cotemporary of ours
may be puzzled to reconcile some apparently
inconsistent statements which have been made
from time to time ia that paper during the
last two or three weeks, and, to the best OF
orr belief, have never been contradicted. First
veg the report that Bazaine had cut his way
ont of Metz with his whole army and gone to
VCrlin. Then Bazaine cut his way out again
with a part of the same army. Then Can
robert cut his way out with another part
Then the army, after once getting away IN q
BODY. and again getting away in detachnents,
made a series of brilliant and successful sorties
for the purpose of getting away once more.
Then Bazainc, who had got out of Metz ever so
often, and never gone back again, was killed
in the streets of Metz by his own men, who
were not in Metz either. Finally we have the
news this morning that Metz has surrendered,
and whom should the Prussians find there but
Bazaino and all his army!

What can he the motive OF the Commission
ers of Parks in seeking to prevent the erec-
ton by the General Government of a building
which will at once grace the city and increase
the value OF property in its vicinity The
first result of the Boards action in compelling
the abandonment OF the work on the New
POst-Oifice, is to throw nearly 1900 poor men
out of employment. This is not likely to win
many votes of poor men for the party which
appoints and sustains such Commissioners.

" ileet OF II iron-clads the Russian Government

Mr.. James Fisk, jr, is regu larly establishe
as one of those lions of New-York who are
discussed by the correspondents of the country
newspapers. If he is not famous, he is at
least notorious, which he doubtless supposes
to be very much the same thing. One of the
ready letter writers describes him as "a heavy,
"red- faced man, in a velvet coat, diamond,
land smirk, sitting lordly in his box, lean
"ing over the stage at intervals to converse
"agleeably with Montaland or Silly" With
all that il left of tho Erie Railway in his
breeches pocket, if there be any left, Monsieur
the Colonel would still rank in the same lot
with the Count Joannes or George Francis
Train.

TO know how to read and write, would seen

To know how to read and write, would seem
TO be The not unreasonable qualification of a
voter. Massachusetts requires this; but singu-
larry enough, there is an attempt on foot in
that State TO repeal it; and this Mr. McCleary,
the City Clerk Of Boston, in an able article in
Tie old and Netp magazine, opposes. Accord
ing to this writer, during a period of about
ten years, of G,5G8 applicants in Boston to be
placed upon the voters list, only 269 were re-
jected for want of the requisite knowledge;
and of these only two were native Americans.
It seems evident, therefore, that the proviso
works no great hardship, while its immense
advantages must be apparent to every intelli-
gent person. The cases in which the rcstric-
ton would be oppressive must necessarily be
few, while it is perhaps as efectual a safe
guard against uninteligcnt voting as can be
devised.
