Enc Municipal Election To
y lEg9rI go morrow.

It is a common expression to say
"Vo1 populi, car del" ; we are not
at all disposed to call in question the
truth Of this very ancient and quaint
phrase. IF it's correctness can be doub
ted, we arc not disposed to do so just
now for more reasons than one. It is
very much like that ambiguous ex-
preston of Mr.. Popes, "What ever is,
is right" 1t is a matter Of small i'm
port however, for no evil can be cor
rected without an Alternative, and ser
tainlv but little effect'can be brought
about by people folding their arms and
quoting Mr.. Popes poetry. A great
deal has been done aud much remains
vet to do, in order to bring up this city
to that point in prosperity from
whence it can look down, with the
pride and dignity opposition on places
of less import in point Of politics and
prosperity.
To this end it is necessary that we
should intrust its affairs in safe hands.
We might say with the cunning of
Mark Anthony that all the applicants
are honorable men-good men, and
true" but then we would be shewdly
suspected Of counting favor, which after
all is prehaps the fact.
We desire to do the printing anoth-
er year, and we will engage to do it as
well and promptly as we know how.
We will engage further, to do it as low
as it can be done in any other money
loving christian community. We shall
vote, for ALT successful candidates, OF
course, and we hope every body will
do the same. We have nothing more
o say on the subject, than that we
love the people generally, and oul
! riends in particular. ~

some other female relatives AT pre-
cisely seven minutes past twelve o.

and took tl.eir usual seats.
The clerk called over the names,
and when he said, Gentlemen Of the
jury, have, you agreed upon your YER

ness to hear the response. The fore
man stood erect and exclaimed in a
loud and distinct voice, Not Guilty"
At this announcement the eyelids Of
the Attorney General and Mr.. Forrest
Suddenly dropped, and Mr.. Chatfeld
called upon Mr. Vandervcort to poll
the jury. Each and every juror an
swered in the affirmative, and were at
once dismissed, and the crier Of the
court announced its adjournment.
The jury then drew up in body
around the railing in front Of the At
torney General and Mr.. Forrest, and
the following conversation ensued;
Mr. Chatfeld with his hand upliit-

as we understand the circumstances
are as follows: Mr.. Stewart announced
his intention of being married. to Mr.
Fleming, which the latter treated as a
jest. To give assurance to the state
ment Mr.. Stewart offered to give Mr..
Fleming ten dollar vest if the latter
would agree to pay the minister's fee.
The matter was agreed to, and the vest
ordered and delivered to Mr.. Fleming.
Subsequently Mr.. Stewart was married
