TODAYS WORK.

The polls will be open this morning at SIX
o'clock, and they are to be closed at four IN
the afternoon. 1t is the uniform experience
in all our elections that these are conducted
most peaceably and with the least embarrass-
ment to the voter in the way of expressing
his exact wishes at the polls, when the bulk
of the vote is deposited in the morning. We
recommend every one to cast his vote before
noon if possible.
Except in the case of special elections to fill
vacancies and the like, the following are the
ballots to DO placed in the hands of voters :
The first one this year is to be Endorsed
"General-No. O." 1t contains the State
Ticket, including Governor, Leutenant-Gov-
ernor. Canal Commissioner, Prison Inspector,
Judge of the Court of Appeals and the Mayor
and Register Of this city. The next ballot is
indorsed mo. 3-COngress;" the next, "No.
"5-Assembly;" the next, "No. City"
containing the Aldermen for the Senate Dis
tricts. three of whom shall be elected from
each District, but no voter shall vote for
more than two, except in the With District.
There is a separate ticket for Aldermen at
Large. Six are to be elected, but no ballot
can contain more than four names. Two are
thus secured to the minority, and out of the
whole number voted for, the six highest are
those elected. Voters wishing to concentrate
strength upon a particular man whom they
know to be good, would act wisely in scratch
ing all other names from their ballot and
voting for him alone.
Before all these in Importance is the separate
ballot labeled constitutional Amendments"
Whatever voters may do or neglect to do
concerning the others, we earnestly recon-
mend that no one fail to cast an unscratched
ballot for the whole of these Amendments.
To make sure of having correct ballot, cut
out the one which will be found in another
part of to-day's paper, fold with the indorse-
ment outside, and vote it as it is.

two colored persons under tree in violent

"No, Sam" was the reply. "Nebber prayed

"No, Sam. Dom no no hymn"

Doubtless it was in this state of mind that
the Congressional Committee sent out the
circulars. "Sumin 1igious" had to be done,
and that was the handest. We read with
pain the structures of the Administration
organs upon the course of the Committee. 10
call such q Committee ignoran. and imbecile
smacks of ingratitude. They should not get
excited We do hope they will restrain their
feelings. For the great thing after all is, in
the words of Mr.. Dawes to "present an un-
broken 'front.' Do not quarrel, children.

matter of diokering. He gave up his place as
General of the Army, with its salary and
emoluments, and he considered that the c0un-
try was bound to make this mp to him. He
called it sacrifice when accepting his first
nomination. When candidate the second time,
he says with certain ludicrous pathos, "the
personal sacrifice made four years ago can
"not be made now" evidently regretting that
he had not his former places still in hand to
trade for something else. He now says that
his attitude in 1872 is his attitude to-day. The
good of the country demands the success or
the Republican party. If his candidacy can
be serviceable, he is candidate. And he has
no hesitation in referring to the sacrifice he
made in 1863. and letting the country know
that he considers it in his debt at least to the
extent of another reelection.
This is his answer to the pleadings OF
frightened candidates. to the cringing appeals
of leaders who have lost their heads, and yet
have not independence enough to say he shall
not destroy them. For the last month they
have been begging him to release them from
their allegiance, by saying he is not candi-
date. Some of them who feared the voters
more than they feared him have been hunted
out and made to declare their opposition to
his denomination. But he has held his peace
until the election was upon them, and then
appealed against them to the people, who, he
thinks, are with him, and will not take away
from him the place lie considers his own. 1t is
not mere recklessness that induces him to make
this declaration at such moment. If the
Republican party survives tO-day's elections,
be wishes it to understand that he is in the
saddle, and the victory is his. If it fails, he
is still before the country, and there are two
years left to make further combinations.

THE DANGERS OF THE SUFFRIGE.


THE London Daily Telegraph, in an article on
American politics. refers with an air of faint
remonstrance and surprise to the general agree
ment of political essayists and journalists,
both in this country and England, that the
dangerous weapon of the ballot, once placed
in the hands OF "the ignorant and downtrod-
eden negro" can never be taken away from
him. at is the fashion with modern states
"men and philosophers of all countries to hold
"that no concession once given to the masses
"can be Withdrawn, and that the governing
"classes of nation must continue to lie IN
"the bed that they haze made for them
"selves." And herein The Telegraph sees the
great Hanger to the American Republic. No
doubt it is true that restriction of the suf-
frage is practically impossible. The evils
which have followed from the sudden admis-
sion to the franchise of an enormous multi
tude OF freedmen, unused to the responsible
ties of citizenship and unable to compre-
bend the issues Of politics, can only he cured
by slow process of education and general
social Improvement. We have not made much
Roadway in this work 30 far, but we shall do
something in time.
1t is not true, however, that the chief peril
to the Republic lies in the ignorant cOlored
vote. In no State of the Union have the
negroes combined to perpetrate political
frauds, or to select thievish officers expressly
for the purpose of plumber, or to reverse the
legitimate action of the majority, or to dis
possess an administration fairly elected. They
have not used the ballot wisely; but In the
exercise of their newly acquired privilege they
have generally been peaceable and honest. 1t
is not the negroes who have supported KEEL
logg at New Orleans, or cOnspired to carry
Alabama by force. The gravest crimes against
the suffrage, the grossest Outrages upon per-
sOnal liberty, the most stupendous schemes of
swndling and peculation, have been COM
mitted by the superior race, which ought
to have been the guide and example OF
these docile and confding people. The
usurpatiOn in Louisiana was approved in
deed by the colored vote, but that vote
would not have put it in power, and when
they were beaten by the ballot the negroes
were perfectly willing to abide by the result
1t was the National Administration at Wash
ingtOn which then stepped in with its soldiers,
and thrust into the Governors chair the man
who had just been defeated at the polls. To
elect bad officers is serious evil; but it is
infinitely worse when the rude hand of power
sets aside elections altogether. Ills this way
our greatest danger lies.

TRUTH We have before us Tho London EcosO-
mist Of the nth of October, the Saturday after
the October elections. from which it appears
that the quotation for the new Elves did not
change by the breadth of hair during that
week. Since then, owing probably to peculiar
circumstances uDfavorably affecting the Con-
tinental money markets, there has been a
slight fall, viz, of One-half Of one per cent.
but the latest Geographic quotation from Lon
don is still equivalent to par in gold.
Still, if the inspired Washington reports
contained as much truth as we have
shown them to contain falseboOd, what
thenf Who is to control the Govern
ment of this country-American citizens or tha
timid bondholders and stock jobbers of Frank
fort and Londoni It is difficult to believe that
there are any capitalists in Europe so ill-in-
formed as to dread change for the worse in
the character Of eur Congressman. Is the rec
ord of the Forty second and Forty-third Con-
crosses of character to inspire capitalists or
any race or tongue with cOnfilencef Are Sal
airy Grabs, Initiation bills, SanborD CONTRACTS
and the Credit MObilier things in which
European holders of American securities
take delight If there really are any capital
lists of the kind described by these mouthpieces
of the gifted functiOnaries at Washington,
the sooner they get rid of their United StateS
bonds the better. The ways of Prince Bis
marck must be much more congei,al with
their tastes than the reckless Independence
of American freemen. we doa't think
the credit of the Government will bs
put TO am severer strain than IL
has been already, though this day should
overwhelm every Administration Congressman
from the confines of the Essex District to
the bayOus of Louisiana. In that event we
should at least be rid of Butler and Hays, be-
sides several score more supporters OF the
Administration who attach 80 little meaning
to promises to pay that it is impossible for
an opposition of any sort to make itself
more shocking to the sensibilities of the pub
lie creditor.

During the same months of last year the
decrease of the Debt was $5,9S5,2s6 95. The
income from Customs, Internal Revenue, and
other sources has been larger this year than
it was last by about $2,000,0OO. In the month
Just ended the receipts from customs at the
Sub-Treasury at New-YOrk were $909,066
greater than the receipts for October, 1873,
and the Internal Revenue receipts for last
month, as telegraphed from Washington, are
over $2,OO0O0O greater in 1874 than they were
in 1S73 The three months from now to the be-
ginning of February cover period of light re-
ceipts from duties on imports, and it will tax
the ingenuity of the Treasury bookkeepers to
figure out any excess of receipts over expendi-
lures. Where, then, is Mr.. Dawes's full Sink
ing Fund contribution of thirty million dollars
towards the reduction of the Public Debt to
be looked fort
Perhaps it would not be an exaggeratiOn
to call the citizens Of the United States " the
"mOst thinking people in the world" This
opinion of the sovereign people is evidently
not held by the authorities at Washington, if
we may Judge from various semi-ofiicial out
gvings from the capital to the effect that,
within the last two or three days, both letters
and kilograms from Europe have convinced
the Government authorities that failure of
the Administration to control the next House
of Representatives will bring the funding of
Government bonds at lower rate of interest
to a standstill.
The purpose of this is transparent. But
what are the facts 7 If any such feeling
prevailed among the capitalists of Europe as
that represented, its effect would be visible in
the Stock Exchange quotations, not only at
London and Frankfort, but at New York. The
closing quotation for the new FIves last even
ing was iii bid, and 11ls asked. Gold closed
at 110s, making the market value of the
new Elves a little more than one per cent
above par in coin, exclusive of the November
coupon. Since thirty or forty millions of these
bonds, bought of the Treasury at discount
from their par value, are on tho market, tho
statement that a suspension of the funding
operation now in progress will follow an Adj
ministration defeat at the polls to-day may be
appropriately described as q pure falsehood,
the bonds being quoted quite as high as, under
the circumstances, any one could ex-
pect them to be. Moreover, the Secretary
has just issued his call for five mil
lions more of the bonds of 1862, to be re-
deemed in February. Would any one con-
tract for five millions more of the Funded
loan v taese Washington reports stalled the

The dispatches from Louisiana give some
reason to hope that the CALLING tyranny which
the Administration has imposed upon the peo-
Die of that State has been broken by the d.
rect action of the honest negro voters, in
uniting with the whites in the struggle against
corruption and carpet-bag rule. In New
Orleans particularly large numbers of the ne
groes openly voted with the whites. The
same report comes from many of the distant
Parishes. There is still great reason to fear
the manner in which the returns are counted,
specially in view of the tampering with the
registry; but present indications seem to war

gwen great satisfaction on the bench, and
while we have heard of no serious objection to
his opponent, we are certain that vote for Judge

of pure administration of justice by tried
and safe man. In the same way, while we

the Republican candidate for Canal Commits
