The people of The State OF New York will
elect governor In November next. Though
it Is yet spring, the manipulators of things
political of all parties are busily engaged In

ceded that Governor Hoffman will be the
nominee of the Democracy, and that he will
receive the support Of the Greeley Repubii-
cane His reelection seems beyond doubt.
The Grant faction have In view Congressman
John a. Ketchum as their candidate. He Is a
man of ability, but has been mixed up with
ring frauds, which will hurt him.
Still more interest will gather around the
senatorial contest In this STATE. The term of
Conkllng, one of Grants principal keepers,
expires on the 4th Of next March, and the
next Legislature will choose his successor.

elected, The Senate, which was chosen last ia.l
to serve two years. IL has a Grant majorlly Of
at least ten. The Assembly, which will take

coalition Claim Two In This city, und John
Cochran and Theodore Tilton are the cahdi
dales for the honors. It would be odd tosee
John Cochran in full communion again with
the party he abandoned twelve years ugo, and

Theodore, a lifelong hater OF Democrats, 80.
lIciiing Democratic votes.

The papers continue 10 TEEN With exposures
OF official fraud. The World has taken up the
work laid down by the Tribune OF showing
up the pecuations OF the Brooklyn ring, Il
combination only less extensive in It's opera
lIUEs than the dead Tammany ring of This oity.
The reluctant examining committee Of the
Methodist D ok Coucern have been making
discoveries which astound them. they were
very 10th at first to believe that the alleged
frauds amounted 10 much more than clerical
Irregularities; but it begins 10 LOOK as If DR..

thing snems to be certain now, that DR.. Garlic

ceed to Cypress Hill Cemetery, where The SOL

and exercises OF devotional and oratorical
character will take place. Dr.. Schenck, rector
of the Episcopal Church OF ''SL. AIMS on the
Heights" Tin Brooklyn, will be the orator ol
the day. One pretty feature of the ceremo-
nIes will be the decoration OF each grave
(some five Thousand In number) with minla-
lure American flag.
small crowd assembled at Cooper lnsii-
tufe last night 10 listen TO the TRADE OF an ex.
officer OF the French army against Marshal
Mcmahon and the other principal actors on
the French side In the late war. Mr.. Greeley
had promised 10 pgeside. but for some reason
was unable to be lt the hall, and alter waiting,
with an impatient audience, half an hour, the
lecturer was obliged TO take the stand and be-
uin the entertainment himself. He assaled
Mcmahon and Trochu, savagely charging the
first with treachery at Sedan, and the latter
with the betrayal both OF the Empire aud the
Republic. General Faldherbe, according to
his opinion. was the most competent and
energetic of the French commanders. The
lecturer, though French soldier by profess
sion, Is an Irisnman by birth.
