DIsBECKER AND THE MAYOR.

An effort was made yesterday to find Mayor Wick
ham with of ascertainng what he had to say as
to the charge of Commissioner Disbecker that tho
Mayor aided him Dsbecker in the defeat Of the Street
Cleaning BILL intending give the contract of that work
to Mr. Wckham's political associates. Mr.. Wickham
OF the city and his private secretary expressed
the opinion that the Mayor would not conde-
scend to notice Mr. Disbecker's charges,
which false only in this regard,
but in other particulars When informed
that Mr. Disheckers friends charge that he has
from the Mayor asking HIM to go to Albany and lobby
against the bill Mr. Harrison stated that 1t not
true; but the Mayor may have written TO in
Albany asking hearing for Mr.. Disbecker IL
serted that the Mayors absence for the purpose of
comforting with Governor Tilden to the charges
against Messrs. Matse and Dsbecker, and the con-
templated removal of of the police justices 1t
would seem, however, that the Mayors absence
due to other than that named for Governor
Tden was in the city yesterday and stated that he had
hal conference with Mayor Wckham concerning
police matters. He had heard that Mayor Wickham
contemplated consulting him to the charges brought
against Matsel and Disbecker, but he knew nothing
the truth OF such rumors, and, of course could
only wait until such charges made to him in his
official capacity.

Gen. IIershel V. johnson is said to be candi-
date for the next Governor of Georgia, with strong
prospects Of success.
Gentleman George, who. in his character OF
Young Grcenbacks, pleaded for sfccie-payments,
is now called by the Ohio newspapers George H.
Pendulum.
The chief aim of the democrats Of North Caro-
lima in moving for a new State Constitution Is to
get rid of republican Judges by requiring them to
be chosen by the Legislature, and 10 restrict the
political privileges of the colored voters.
It is thought in Tennessee that the Governor
will appoint Gen. William b. Bate to the seat OF
the late Andrew Johnson in the Senate Gen
Bate was close competitor Of Mr. johnson, the
latter winning only by very small vote. He was
a Confederate officer.
Senator Sherman closed his Marion speech with
the following noble appeal, as timely and appro-
pirate to republicans everywhere as to those of
Ohio:
"See now this broad country of ours-united we
stand Many of our ancient enemies now glory
in our success. The prayers of 1000 900 OF freed
men rise perpetually to Almighty God for the re-
publican party Great names adorn our history,
written there by US. Memorable events for fifteen
years have lifted our country from confederacy
of discordant States, left by democratic Admin
isration to the chances of civil war, to the posi-
ton of a nation of the highest rank, to mold a
continent and to guide world to free institu-
tons.
Let us not apologize to our adversaries for the
faults that are human, nor examine with micro
scope the faings of friends; if only the great OBJ
jccts we have sought and the good measures we
have accomplished, and the policy marked out for
us is, on the whole, wiser and better than is pro-
posed by our adversares, then our path Of duty Is
with the republican party. Inspire it, if you
please with better principles, with higher aims,
and by good example; but rest assured that you
must rely upon the republican party for any pro,
gress that is made in making or executing good
laws.
And fellow citizens you who at any time acted
with the republican party during the war or since
the war, and from whatever cause have been dis
satisfied with the party to which you belonged,
let us come together again. We have forgiven
the rebels, let us forgive each other. l am liberal
enough to confess that the republican party has
committed some errors Aud | am repub-
lican enough to know that its history, its princi-
pies and its tendencies give us the best assurance
for an honest and able administration of the ma
tional and State Governments"

Colonel McCreary. who has just been
elected by the democrats to be Governor
of Kentucky. told his people during the
campaign that among the leading iniqui-
ties of the day for which the republicans
ought to be voted out of power are -
First, the promise to pay off the national
debt in gold; second, the exemption of
federal bonds from taxation; third, the
establishment of national banks, and
fourth, what he calls the unequal distri.
button of currency" That is to say the
democratic candidate for Governor in
Kentucky asked for votes on the ground
really that if his party had power it would
pay the national debt in currency, tax the
federal bonds and abolish the national
banks. Is it not little too much ? In
the Kentucky vernacular of quarter of a
century ago are not the democrats "piling
