LOCAL AFFAIRS.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.
The Extraordinarily is the election
day, and warm day it will be, no matter
whether clear Or cloudy. We hope no
rowdy, bullying demonstrations NAV be
made; no fighting, no disgraceful speeches.
In a few words no necessity for the po-
lice. But it is best to be prepared
Threats have been made which, if carried
ont, are sure to create riots. We hone
the police department will be attentive to
the security ofpeace at the polls, and that
the order-loving citizens will be prepared
to assist them.
Sine die.-The City Councils closed
their career last evening by final adj
j0urnment. Resolutions were passed by
both Boards, thanking their presiding
officers for the impartial and able man
ner in which they have discharged their
duties.
The resolutions were responded to by
B. 3. French, ESQ. President of the Al
dermen, and n Callan, ESQ, President
OF the Common Council.
When about separating, many of the
gentlemen entertained serious doubts of
ever again occupying seats in the Board.
The old Councils are gone. May they
rest in peace!
Bank Of the Repu5lic.-T concern,
we understand, is winding up it's affairs,
preparatory to final close. We Will
give Mr.. Bailey the credit of redeeming
all his notes up to this date in gold. His
intention to redeem his notes at Row
lands is proper, no doubt: but we do not
see why he should leave his better known
position to redeem in obscurity. Many
persons know where the Bank is, but
few will be able to find it if removed to
Rowland's.
Accidents.-On Wednesday last, gen
tlenan who was at work on brick wall,
had his hand severely cut by brick
which fell from the carriers nod. The
pain he suffered Immediately produced a
convulsion, and he fell from the wall, but
we are happy to say that he was not Sc
riously injured, though his face was much
cut and bruised. The gentleman's name
was Connor, we learn.
Burglories and A,Tcst-Last night,
Watchmen Cox and Bean arrested negro
named Frank Bell, for an attempt to enter
a store On the Avenue. He was this
morning committed to jail by Justice
Morsell. Between sunset and 9 o'clock
some fellow broke into the segar and to-
bacco store on the corner of Louisiana
Avenue and Sixth street, and robbed it of
several bundles of cents, which was all
the money left there by the proprietor,
Mr.. W. Drew. None of the goods were
taken, the robber doubtless thinking he
had prize worth hastily escaping with.
Lightning. the storm yester-
day a colored woman living in the
Seventh Ward, was stunned by the cleo
tic fluid. She was slowly recovering this
morning.
Criminal Court--The trial of Wood
ward still engages the attention Of the
Court and jury. 1t is probable the case
will be given to the jury earl in the
coming week.
~ J. d. Hoover, Esq, the new Mar
shall Of this District, has appointed E. NJ.
Chaplin, Esq, as his Deputy. An excel
lent appointment.
