To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
desire to correct one statement In your account
OF the arrest OF Woodruff and Claim which appears
in the HERALD Of this morning. The statement to
which refer Is this:-"The counsel for the PLAIN
tin James W. Stilman, accepted the verbal bond
of the counsel for Woodruff and Clanin Colonel
Charles W. Brooke, for their appearance when the
case came to trial." The true account OF the mat
ter is as follows:-Mr. Brooke came into the
Sherid's ONCE, and, after some consultation with
mis- clients, informed me that ne had professional
engagement which would prevent him from i'm
medatey obtaining bail for his clients but that II
l would consent TO wait till Tuesday he would hold
himself personally responsible for their appear
ance on that day, at which time the requisite bail
would be furnished, or IN default thereof the de-
fenuantS would be remanded into the custody OF
the sheriff. l replied that had no personal feel
ing in the matter; that all desired was TO protect
the rights OF my client; but that did not consider
such pi oceedlng as strictly regular. He assured
had no intention OF leaving the city that they had
taken their baggage or the steamer and had re-
turned their rickeJs and that they would promptly
surrender themselves II pail was not secured dur
ing Monday. AS this was the first time had ever
met Mr.. Brooke IN professional way l desired to
accord to him the courtesy due to an honorable
member OF the profession, and so finally con-
sented to the proposed arrangement think that

Active Preparations for the Campaign
in Hudson County.

Active Preparations for tho Campaign
in Hudson County.
The rush OF candidates for local of1ces in Hudson
county, N. j., IS beyond all precedent One would
Judge from this swarming OF patriots, armed TO the
teeth or In the pockets for their countrys deence
that we are on the eve of some terrible crisis.
There are no fewer than eighteen candidates for
Sheriff, eight for Register (the most lucrative
Orice) and twelve for County Clerk. For Governor
the county is unanimous for Judge Bedle on the
democratic side, while the republicans are div
ided. George A. Halscy holds such q sway,
however, that he is counted as the coming
man. The democratic choice for Congress will
be Attorney General Gilchrist, who rendered such
eminent services In the prosecution OF Official
deinquents. He Is now at the acme Of his popu-
larlty. John X. McPherson was at first spoken OF,
but his adherents prefer taking chances for the
Office OF United states senator, although McPher.
son is reluctant TO accept any office just now.
Among the candidates Tor the State Senate are
Charles H. O'Neill. Leon AbCDtt and Delos h. Gull
yer. There VIII be lively contest for members of
Assembly in the second, Fourth and sixth dis
trlcts. There Is great room for Improvement IN
the mental callbre OF the latter representatives..
The name OF Hudson county was byword at the
late session OF the Legislature on account OF the
bunoonery displayed by one OF the members. This
individual carried bill to the Governor to be
signed before IL passed the House.
The prominent candidates for Register on the
democratic side are J. Is. Cleveland, David Haiia-
nap, John Garrick, Alderman Cable and George
W. Cassedy. The County Cierkship calls forth
James NJ. Brann, Henry Gaede Emil Stcger and
ten or twelve others
