THUNDER ALL ROUND TIE sKY.--Elections
will be held tomorrow in Massachusetts, New
York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, Mis-
sissipp Wisconsin and illinois but the eyes Of
all the country, including ''the eyes of Della
ware are fixed upon the election in New

Of the capability Of the people to govern them
selves.

TIE VENEZUELAN REVOLUTIONARY CAUSE
was vastly depressed by the vigorous action
of the government forces, directed by Presi-
dent Guzman Blanco in person, at the date Of
our latest advices from Curacao. The Execu-
tive was operating with unusual vigor and
the insurgents were more than usually unfor-
tunate, on land and at sea, as will be seen by
our dispatches this morning.

A Cool HUNDRED THOUSAND, according to
Mr.. Greeley, Is the price that was paid by
Tammany for Winans in our last Legislature.
This was high figure for an Assemblyman;
but still 1t is case which should warn the
people against the election Of lawmakers who
are in the market for sale to the highest bidder.

'sRIGHT ABOUT, FACE. The special organ
of Judge Ledwith, which was all enthusiasm
for O'Brien and all fire and fury against the

MoNrEvIDEo, in South America, Is said to
be fine point from which to take view OF
official corruption in New York city. The
best and most extraordinary part Of it is that
no extradtion treaty exists with the govern
ment Of the Uni:ed States, hence tourists Of
necessity remain unmolested in their medita-
tious.

THO Hectisa asd tho Reform mevc0ene-
The ComnIsseess Faiiare.
The registration Of one hundred and dfty-
two thousand voters in this oity-ten
thousand more than last years. an evidence
Of the interest taken In to-morrow's election.
There will, no doubt, be full vote out, and the
probability now appears to be that the contest
will be close on the county ticket, although
the chances seem to favor the success OF Tam
many by reduced majority. This is mainly
owing to the incompetency of the Committee OF
Seventy, who took upon themselves the man
agement Of the reform movemen! and who
have been mere puppets in the hands Of politi-
cal wirepullers. The members of the Com
mittee when they stepped out Of their counting
houses, banks and Offices ought to have been
aware that they knew nothing Of political
intrigue and party management, and to have
steered clear of all cliques and factions,
directing their efforts solely to the detection,
exposure and punishment Of fraud. II they
determined to put ticket of their own
into the field they should have nomi-
mated complete set Of officers from
Supreme Court Judge to Aldermen, chosen
from the great body of the people, on the con-
sideration Of merit alone. With such candi-
dates, If beaten, they would have planted in
the soil Of New York an honest reform move
ment that could not have failed to bring forth
good fruit in due season. Upon such can
didates they might perhaps have rallied q
v,nw FIJI ind ntA fppAd
of party, numerous enough in the divisions
and scrambling Of the rogues to have even
secured success. As it is, like men suddenly
elevated to fortune, they have been the VIC
Tins Of designing sharpers. The men who
desired to make political capital out Of the
reform movement, not for the good of
the city, but for their own selfish and
corrupt ends, have turned the Committee
round their fingers and manipulated the noml-
nations to suit themselves. The consequence
is that instead Of finding candidates to vote
for outside of all corrupt rings and gangs the
people discover that to vote against
Tammany they must in many instances
support men who have been them
selves among the worst specimens
of Tammany roughs and robbers, and who are
only now in opposition to the Ring in conse-
quence of a falling out among the thieves. 1t
is true that the success Of Tammany will be a
disgrace to the city, and may seriously demor-
alize and damage the cause Of reform.
In this view it would be good
thing should the Tammany ticket be beaten.
But otherwise there is little to choose between
most of the candidates, and the action of the
Committee has disappointed the hopes of all
honest reformers.

and Ex-sheriG Johnny O'Brieu.
That desperate diseases require desperate
remedies is as true of political parties as of
the human system, and to this aphorism Police
Justice Thomas A. Ladwith, chronic oppo-
nent Of Tammany, owes his nomination on
the Tammany ticket for Justice of the Supreme
Court. Actuated by that humane and Christian
spirit which delights In giving counsel and
consolation to the afflicted, the HERALD some
time ago advised the unhappy sages of the
Wigwam to seek certain Of their candidates in
the ranks Of the patriotic reformers, 80 many
of whom were willing to serve their country in
the several offices to be filled at the election
tomorrow. The advice was taken, but, un-
fortunately, the Tammany managers had not
sufficient breadth of political intellect to grasp
the subject in it's full extent and bearing, and
hence they stopped at a single nomination,
instead Of going further and transferring to
their own side some of the really strong men
wins are now in the field under the banner Of
their opponents. They took Ledwith, with
very little capacity and very limited indu-
ence, and they left to the Seventy Jenny
O'Brien, with his powerful gangs Of
adherents, his bruisers, repeaters and
bullies, whose services at the polls
are of incalculable value. They have
thus hampered themselves with Supreme
Court candidate whose judicial requirements
are confined to the ordinary cases comprising
q budget of night charges-petit larceny,
drunkenness, assault and battery and the
like-and who is much more at home at
Jefferson Market than in the new Court
House, while the active ex-Sherif, with
his little unsettled account of two hundred
city as an incentive to extraordinary exertion,
is leading off thousands of the old broken
nosed, crop-haired .adhercnts of Tammany
into the pure ranks Of the reformers.
This stupid policy seems to indicate that the
shrewd wre-pullers of Tammany are confused
by the hard blows they have recently received,
and are losing that sharpness which has en-
ab!ed them so long to rule the city. They
should have taken back Jenny OBrien, who
really belongs to them, ven him the
Senatorial none nation in place of John J.
Bradley, promised him the prompt payment Of
bis bogus claim Of two hundred and eighty
Thousand dollars, which he now expects to get
from the reformers, and set him to work at the
repeating business, Of which he is the acknow-
lodged head, and which he has so often practised
for tho benefit of Tammany. All they can hope
for from Ledwith is the Catholic influence
be is supposed to WELD as prominent member
available against the Orangeism with which
the name of Barrett is identified. But this
will bs but drop in the ocean as compared
with what they could have accomplished had
they placed Jenny O'Brien on their tickets
for Senator; and O'Brien is as fit for the
Senate as Ledwith is for the Supreme Court.

Fight on in shadswy phaIanx,

And, - we read the sounding rhyme
The reverent fancy he,rs

And the clash of the spestralspesrs.
When we think with imperious questionings

And We strive to track, in Deaths mystery
The flight of each valiant ghost
Tbs northern myth comes back to as,
And We feel through our sorrow's night
That those young souls are striving still
Somewhere, for truth and right.
Il was not their time for rest and sleep.
Their hsarts beat high and strong;
In thsif fresh veins the blood of youth
Was shining its hot sweet song.
The open heaven bsns over them,
Mid flowers their 1.-THE feet trod
Their lives lay vivid in light, and biest
But the smiles of women and Gsd.
