The Citizens Association favOrs us with q
card denying the reports that its members are
dissatisfied with the policy Of its officers, and
producing a series of resolutions adopted last
Spring at a general meeting of the AssOcia-
ton affirming their confidence in those officers
IL VI had been told how many members of the
Association were present at this meeting the
testimonial might have the more merit,
although it must be confessed that when the
officers of an Association have reached the
point of requiring certificates to the confidence
placed in them by those who appoint them,
they are in almost as bad plight as the
woman who needs certificates to her virtue.
There is a popular belief that the Citizens
Association means Mr.. Nathaniel Sands. We
shall be exceedingly glad to see the Associa-

THE RALANCE OF POWER.

When John Bright in 1865 pronounced tho
theory of the balance of power "that gigantic
"system of outdoor relief for the aristOcracy
"of Great Britain to be "pretty nearly dead
"and buried,r he probably did not really per-
ceiye how close its end was at hand at rises
"up before me when think of it," said he,
"as a ghastly phantom which, during one
hundred and seventy years whilst it has been
"worshiped in this country, has loaded the
"nation with debt and with taxes, has sacri-
"ficed the lives of hundreds of thousands of
"Englishmen, has desolated the homes of
"millions of families, and has left us, as the
"great result of the prOhigate expenditure
(which it has caused, doubled peerage at one
| "end of the social scale, and far more than
doubled pauperism at the other" The war
| in Italy, the war in Denmark, the Austrian
war of 1865 all did much to destroy this costly
superstition but its final overthrow was left
| for the present Summer. With Germany
united, Mr.. Pitts policy, to which English
statesmen have 80 blindly adhered, of making
war upon every continental State which began
| to grow stronger than its neighbOrs, and keep
ing every kingdom within certain arbitrary
boundaries, without regard to the wishes or
VI
Great Britain can no longer interfere, because
warfare has now assumed proportions entirely
beyond her strength. France, who has of late
been a more dangerous and infatuated adv0-
cate of the balance of power fallacy than even
England, will be unable to meddle much with
continental politics for years to come; and
unless the present aspect of affairs is suddenly
and Unexpectedly changed, she will never be
strong enough to resist United Germany.
Austria took her punishment four years ago,
and has ever since been in critical position,
where peace and quiet are her only hope. We
see no prospect therefore, that battles VIII
hereafter be fought for the foolish purpose of
keeping Europe broken up into petty States,
and perpetuating dynastic jealousies.
There are now but two really great powers
in Europe-Germany, which the spontaneous
impulse of the people is rapidly consolidating
and raising to its proper place as the leader
of civilization in the old world, and Russia
half emerged from barbarism, but making
gigantic strides in the augmentation of mill
tary strength as well as the acquisition of
territory. The greatest danger now lies in
their dread of each others encroachments, and
the problems of European politics hereafter
must touch principally the relations OF these
two powerful States, one covering the richest
portion of central Europe the other moving
gradually south and east toward the Medter-
ranean Sea and the plains of Asia. There
does not seem to be in any of the lesser
powers, or in all of them together, strength
enough to stop their onward movement, or
| even to seriously check it.

TO OIKEY-EREETING.

Mr. Mayor Oakley Hall, chagrined at the
fact that his absurd charges against Gov.
Woodford have attracted no attention, and
substantially admitting the force of The
TRBUSE's explanation that they deserved none,
unless presented by moro respOn-
sble accuser, seeks now to re-
vive the matter by asking Gen. Pleas
onton to unite with him in getting up a
Court to try them. Mr.. Halls proposal will, of
course, be treated with Indifferent contempt.
A man denounced by name by the leading
Editor of his own party as "a shame
"less corruptiOnist of the Ring" is in
no position to organize Courts for the trial of
men whose only crime is that their political
characters have never been blackened like his
But there il previous trial to which Mr..
Halls attention has been invited, and which
his effort to divert the issue impels US to

Mayor Hall the Census of this City has Just
been completed! 1t exposes the shameless
and cunning frauds which the Editor of The
World testifes that he saw committed
at the polls and knew to be your
work. You have therefore felt forced to
become the public, official assalant of the
correctness of that Census. In answer to your
official arraignment you have received this
distinct invitation from Marshal Sharpe:
Ibeeve it would be well to test the accuracy Of the
Census and respectfully invite the Mayor Of the City
Of NewYOrk TO unite with In the appointment Of Mr.
Samuel j. Tlden Chairman OF the Democratic State Cen
trail Committee and Mr. Jackson s. Schultz, President Of
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 $40, and the
total vote last Fall was 7O7."
Mayor Hall we call for some answer to
that official proffer or for confession
of judgment. You are not called upon to
look after Gen. Woodford's character; you do
most grievously need in this Census matter to
look after your own! You have chosen to
make this an official question. Attend to it,.
then! What is your answer to Marshal

a LAST WORD

This issue of THE TRIBUNE is the last with
which we can reach many of the readers who,
in the States of Nebraska, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio,
and PENNSYLVANIA, are, next Tuesday, to give
the key to the campaigns of 1870 and to the
composition of Congress during the latter half of
Grants Administration. We have not thought
it needful, throughout the canvass, to attempt
arOusing vehement party feeling; nor do we
now purpose any appeal save to the calmest
Judgment of men who, having been on the
side of their Country when it was in peril, may
be supposed now to vote only as they think
its welfare demands.
Such men we beg to remember that the
votes cast on next Tuesday may determine
whether our present Administration is to be a
failure or a success; and whether we are to
enter upon the contest for the control of the
next one under the weight of two years ad-
verse legislation. They may determine whether
the work. of paying the National Debt, now
conducted with a steadfast tenacity only
equaled by the hammering away of the same
dOgged leader, before Vicksburg or Richmond,
is to be arrested midway, or prosecuted to a
beneficent end. They may determine whether
the honesty and energy infused into the col
lection of the Revenue are to be continued
and indorsed, OF whether the Administration
is to be rebuked therefor, and hostile Con-
gress is to be given the opportunity to do
what it may, by legislation or otherwise, to
restore the palmy days of Andrew johnson.
They may determine whether the Southern
States, now adapting themselves to the new
order of things, are to be encouraged in a
reactionary effort to withdraw the rights that
have been at last freely conceded to
the enfranchised blacks; - whether the
Reconstruction already attained is or is
not TO be fnality; - whether some
thlngs have or have not been definitely
settled and put out Of the way by war that
brought millions of soldiers into the field. and
created debt counted only by billions. They

immediate future, but for themselves and the

New-York tribune., 1870-10-08

IL he could; but how was this possible with
the Empire repudiating power and the Repub-
lie breathing only war and vengeancef Louis
Blanc is right in thinking and intimating that
England and the restof the civilized world ought
to lose no opportunity to bring about peace; but
the civilized world will not forget that France
failed also in her duty in not seeking peace.
The Republic began wrong in failing to re-
pudiate the war of the Empire, or rather by
assuming the bad cause when already lost.
It's present penalty is the consequence of that
initial error. The trial of France is certainly
terrible one. Betrayed by the false Empire
into the grasp of her mightiest enemy, she
has the sympathy of the world. But the
world will not forget that Germany has rights
which it is bound in justice to respect.

SUMMARY.

Here are 1885 votes cast by 1886 residents,
of which vote 6,064 are Democratic. The num-
Der of residents to voter, averaging all these
districts, would be two and twelve e-hundredths,
or 100 votes to 212 residents The Xth District
of the With Ward deserves especial attention.
The return of last Aprils election shows sixty
four more votes than there were residents
men, women, children, aliens or natives-in the
District. In the XVIII District, With Ward,
1,710 residents cast ,O22 votes and two other
Districts in the same Ward were even more
industrious.
We prefer, for the present, to leave these
facts without one word of comment. The
Mayor of the city has for now three weeks
steadily avoided any response to the invitation
of the u. s. Marshal having the work in hand,
to test the accuracy of the Census in the
worst of the above cases. We must therefore
receive it as confessed. Will the honest voters
of New-York and of the whole Country con-

Two murderers yesterday escaped the usual
or rather very unusual-punishment by hang
ing of their offenses by pleading to charges of
manslaughter; and were sentenced to impris-
onment for the terms allowed by law. The
discretion of the District-Attorney who ac-
cepted the pleas will be approved by the good
sense of the community, which is fast coming
to see that hanging one criminal does not in
timidate others, but that the severity of the
punishment creates sort of mistaken pity for
the offender which not unfrequently saves him
from all punishment whatever. We sadly need
in this State revision of the criminal laws
and the reform of the prison system. Is there
not some hope that such actions as those of
yesterday in our courts are an advance in this
directionf

One would imagine from the number of cir
culars which have been published explanatory
of what Count Bismarck and M. Favre said at
their late interview, that never were important
international negotiations carried on after
so careless a manner Count Bismarck has
issued still another, this time denying that he
declared it was the purpose of Germany to re-
duce France to a second-rate power. To those
who recognize the astuteness of Bismarck the
denial was unnecessary: he was not likely to
unloose his tongue when conversing with the
head of the Government whose capital his
country's armies are surrounding. The public
will reluctantly conclude that policy forbids
that the truth in regard to the peace negotia-
tions of NJ. Favre shall become fully known
while the present status between France ant
| Germany exists.
New-York tribune., 1870-10-08

One remarkable fact with regard to the May
Election may be seen in our full table of the
Census, this morning, by looking over the fig
ures for Wards where the Germans predom-
mate, say the Seventeenth, particularly. Here
there is scarcely sign that the voters cared
at all for the Judiciary Election. In one
district only one in 40 voted, and in the whole
Ward only one in II. When Hoffman ran for
Governor, this Ward gave vote of one in
6.72, and this was high, considering the great
proportion OF aliens in that part of the city.
The reader will note, from the table of pop
ulation by Wards, at various periods, how
the demands for business room have
driven the population further and further
up town each year, until the east
side above FouIteenth-st., which but
few years ago was barren waste of
unoccupied lots, Is the most densely peopled
portion OF the island. The packing system is
brought to perfection in the Nineteenth Ward,
where whole blocks of six-story tenement
houses are as full of people AS hive is of
bees. The wel-to-do classes are rapidly

Walter Roche, late Supervisor As he is not
at present an ofice-holder, and is gentleman

not probable that position so potent IN poll

Directors. 1t is doubtful if Tammany

There are signs that the Germans are about
to resume the activity which characterized
their early movements in the war. The ap-
proaches to Metz are so far advanced that the
siege guns lately employed against Strasbourg
have opened fire upon the defenses of Bazaine.
At Paris the Prussian Guards are busily en-
gagged in changing the course of the canal
which supplies Paris and ST. Denis with fresh
water. The movements toward the south ana

lacking confirmation, of an advance to the

and Russia. On the second, in lively contrast
will be found several columns of literary gos-
