The AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, BRIDGE CAsE.-Ths
case, we have seen noticed by several papers as
being before the Supreme Court. We learn that
the death of ono Of the compliments, John w.
Marlborough, has caused the case to be laid over,
and the Court has permitted proper representa-
tive Of the deceased voluntarily TO come in and
become party within the hrst ten days Of the
ensuing term of Court. This case seems to have
been pending for nearly quarter of century,
and over halt million of dollars are involved in
The suit. This makes it matter Of importance
to those interested and TO the public in general,
for the public are interested in all banks, and six
seven hundred thousand dollars is a sum of
some magnitude, even for a corporate body. We
give the proceedings in the matter in another
column.

The DIRTY STREET PARrY--THE COMING
CHARTER ELECTION. are informed that
the democratic Office holders and Office seek
ers, are busy making their preliminary ar
rangements for the ensuing charter election,
which will take place in about one month from
this time. They are first in the field, as usual,
and will have had all the nominations cut and
dried, and printed on their election tickets, be-
fore the wings will have awakened from their
slumbers We are credibly informed that the
wire pullsrs of the locofoco, alias dirty street"
party, have held several caucuses lately. in the
porter houses, and police station Offices around
town; and have. in the kindest manner possible,
relieved the voters of this city of the trouble of
selecting candidates for Mayor and both boards
of the Common Council They have, with the
aid of the army of "stars," their relatives and
friends, selected men for nomination who, In their
opinion, possess all the necessary qualifications
to fill the offices which they have marked out for
them
This is certainly piece of disinterested kind
ness that we would not expect from modern poll
ticians. However, tits according to the "usages
OF the party" and must therefore be right. We
question the propriety, though, of policemen, or
other underings of the party in power, taking
into their own hands the management Of these
matters, and debating to the people whom they
shall vote for. The fact is, that elections have
always been too much under the influence Of
certain gentlemen, who, because they are behind
the scenes, and versed we'll in the mysteries of
demagogusm, imagine that those whom they
nominate, are the only persons deserving the suf-
TRACES of their fellow citizens. Public officers
should be chosen by the people, and not by few
interested and office seeking politicians.
But what in the name of wonder are the wings
about9 Surely the members of that party will not
allow this "dirty street" party to have their own
way in these matters, and walk over the course,
without making an attempt at least to obstruct
them. Are they willing to permit this party, who
decline from some cause, to them best known, to
put our public ferry slips at auction, and rent
them to the highest bidder-thereby increasing
our city receipts some Thousands Of dollars-to
again control our city government, without trying
at least to stop them in their career1 They must
stir themselves 1t will never do to allow the 'dirty
street" party, with its army Of police officers and
unemployed street sweepers, to have every thing
as it pleases. Besides, there would be no fun in
it. We must have some fun at the next election,
or it will not he regular election at all.
The wings and the city reformers must bestir
themselves (; they must muster their forces-and
make their nominations. lie. them select good
men, and by all means-let US have fair fight.
