the Republican, and these i've
Democratic votes were alleged not "a
have been in favor of Hoffman and
Loder.
The Fifth Ward is remarkably quiet
the best OF order being preserved. Tue
Democrats are scratching 81. Hoffmaa
tearfully, and the general presumpti0a
is that he will be badly defeated in that
district. The coIored voters are almost
unanimously vo ing the Workingmen's
ticket. The vote in the precinct OF
Third and Lawrence is very small SO
far, not more than 100 having been polled
up to O'Clock.
The name Of Henry G. Lord is being
badly scratched in the Nineteenth Ward.
The Workingmen here are not doing
very much. 1t seems to be a "stanJ-of"
between the Democrats and Republt-
cans. AS general thing, however, tha
former ticket seems to be in the lead.
Hoffman In this ward, the one that Is
said TO have given him the nomination
In the Convention, is not being scratched
much, Notwithstanding the leading DEM
ocrats say, and say 1t openly, that Ho6.
man bought the ward, and owes has
nomination to the delegates OF that
ward.
Up to noon $50 votes had been cast
here, and in con ntradiction to the theory
advanced that Hoffman bought his NOM
lnation, the voters are being persuaded
to vote for him.
Something astonishing about the cleo
tion is that John Fratz is being terribly
bounced In the German Wards. Hun
neke is being lively substituted for his
place.
Geo. W. Williams, the colored Repre-.
sentative for Senator in the General AS
sembly, has made lively canvass OF all
the wards, and also through the county.
From indications SO far at hand, n
looks as If his election is beyond doubt.
There seems to be no fight, in partIcu-
lar, about the Lieutenant Governor,
the respective parties voting in general
a straight ticket. Vogeler is taking a
number OF votes from the German
wards, and if it depended on these
would, without doubt, defeat Fitch.
The Senatorial and r preventative
tickets are in almost every instance be-
ing voted straight. Kllmper, on the
Democratic ticket, is doing we'll, espeoi-
ally in the German wards and in those
Of the bottoms, where be was bess
known as a business man.
The office Of county Commissioner fs
hardly disputed by any of the candi-
dates, still We might say that Reardon's
name Is being stricken in favor Of
Flowers.
The township ticket amounts to a
cipher. The whole hgnt Is for the State
ticket.
1t is wrestle for life and death be.
tween the Republicans and Democrats.
and it is impossible to say who will be
the winner. The questions OF the Ju-
dicial Constitutional Amendment and
the Free Banklnr ACE I,aWara uenarailV
overlooked by the average voter.
On the township tlckeI it Is firmly be-
lived that Squire Jonu Anthony will
be reelected. (rad) Benjamin NJ.
Wright and Ed. Gliigan also seem to
Patton, who are running against tae
latter two, are supposed to have the

Tue election to day is probably the

OUR FOREIGN MISSIONS,

OUR FOREIGN MISSIONS.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-It is under
stood that the first imp portant business
to come before the Cabinet tomorrow
will be the selection of the new Gus
toms Officers .or the port OF New York.
Then the matter of foreign appointments
will be fully discussed, with view OF
sending the names of those persons Sc
lected to the Senate soon after the IL. .h
inst. There is considerable speculation
as to who will succeed Mr.. Pierrepont
in the English Mission, it being UNDER
vember or December.
The name OF George William Curtis is
frequently mentioned In connection
with this important appointment, and
it's believed by many that it has been
at his C mmand and definitely accepted.
E. W. Stoughton, the eminent lawyer,
has his warm supporters, and Gov. Hart
ranft, OF Pennsylvania, is fayorably
mentioned. But it is generally con-
ceded that the selection will be made
from New York, and Levi P. Morton,
the distinguished banker, 80 we'll
known In New York and London, is the
first choice OF a large and influential
class.
Mr.. Morton is In the prime of life, and
has been consistent Republican since
the days Of ABBOTT Lawrence. The
English mission has not been given to
merchant or a banker, and it is the
opinion of many that it should now be
filed by one. Judging from the success
which marked Mr.. Lawrenoe's service,
there can be no danger in again entrust-
ing the honor OF our flag to an educated,
experience and eminently successful
business man, such as Mr.. Morton has
proved himself to be. Moreover, he has
the fortune requisite to maintain the
mission in manner altogether credita-
BILE to the country.
The important missions to Berlin and
st. Petersburg are also to be filled early
in the coming session, but as yet it Is
not known outside of the Cabinet circles
what prominent names are mentioned
in connection with these missions. Be-
sides these important missions there are
a number OF minor importance in which
complete changes will be made.
THE 81, 600 COUNTERFEIT BILL.
Recent newspaper publications state
that new counterfeit greenback of tie
denomination $1,000 issue of 1869, has
III ade its Appearance. This is an error.
No counterfeit has been made of the
s., 900 Treasury note OF 1859. This note
has imprinted on it a portrait OF Dewitt
Clinton and vignette of Columbus.
The plate was made by the Bureau oil
Engraving and Printing OF the T.las-
ury Department. The counterfeit al
luded to is on the $1,000 greenback, the
plate for which was made by the Ameri-
can Bank.note Company, in 1862.
This note bears the imprint of por-
trait Of Robert Morris, and has no
vignette. The portraits will enable
parties to readily distinguish between
these issues.

Brooks, of the Secret Service, that one
Foster and a party named Tom Douty,
