MUslcIPAL ELrcrIoN.-Three weeks from to-
day there will be election for City Collector,
Register, Surveyor, and one Alderman and three
members of the Common Council from each of the
wards, together with three four Assessors.
For the first named office three candidates are
already in the field, namely: r. J. Roche, (the
incumbent.) l.. ]. Middleton. and John Y. Bry
ant, and the probability is that several others will
be added TO the list for the public sufrages Judg
ing from the past, (and certainly the desire TO bold
office is not weaker now than il formerly, }
there will be cause of complaint that good
selection cannot be made in consequence of the
scarcity of aspirants. We therefore anticipate a
spirited contest.
Apart from the election for officers of the Corpo-
ration, the question Of "license or no license of
shops, taverns and ordinaries is to be submit ed
to the voters. If the majority say ''no' then Con
gress is to be applied to for an amendment to the
charter to enable the municipal authorities to enact
laws to carry out the public will. The proposition
does not, however contemplate the entire Maine la W
sweep. In addition to this, the propriety of apPro-
priating six hundred thousand dollars towards the
Orange and Alexandra Railroad Company, with a
lateral branch to this city, will probably be sub
United to the voters; the Common Council having
passed resolution to this effect but which re-
mains to be acted upon by the Board of Aldermen.
