MuyIcIPAL PoLITIcs-The various fractions
Of the old wing and democratic parties, now
divided into every variety Of shells and isms,
are fairly at work preparing for the approach
ing municipal contest. But more than on any
previous occasion the result is likely to be
made subordinate to local interests, affecting
entire districts Of the city in common. For
example the whole northern portion Of the
city will require Of every candidate for cleo
ton to the city government pledge to sup
press the murderous locomotives now permit
ted to run through densely populated avenue
within the city limits.
A still larger geographical division 81 the
city, embracing all the central and upper
wards, on both rivers, will doubtless require
every candidate to pledge himself in favor OF
the removal of the City Hall to the upper part
Of the island, whatever may have been bis
previous party connections, and that new and
commodious markets shall be established high
up on the East and North rivers.
The conviction seems to be among those
who live up town, that all extensive and
desirable public improvements on the island
depend on The removal Of the City Hall TO
some locality less beset by the corSpting
influences which have 80 long festered IN
and contaminated everything about the Park,

and so remote from the observation Of the

show that if it could not be performed in Great
Britain OF on the Continent ii could be accom-
plished here-and that in right gallant style.
This he did in SO minutes and 80 IL seconds
thus establishing the superiority Of the Ameri-
can trotter for speed and endurance beyond all
cavil We have many more that can accom-
plish the same feat. 1t Is but short time since
we chronicled the unparalleled performance Of
one hundred miles in eight hours and fifty-six
minutes, by aprivate nag; and now we observe
the preliminaries of great forty mile trot are
being arranged,
AT short distances nothing has ever
equalled the speed Of Mac, Flora Temple,
vincibles, whose rate of going varied from
2:25 10 2:30, mile heats, in the trot. Who las
forgotten the gallant old Dutchman, who went
three miles over the Beacon Course, on o hot
summer day, in 1882 II, or Lady Suffolk, who
trotted two miles in 4:59 In fact, we scarcely
know how fast our horses can be made to go.
The best are generally found in the hands Of
private gentlemen, who are averse to bringing
them on the track. Latterly, race courses
seem to have fallen into the hands Of profess
sional gamblers; and az consequence, gentle
men who formerly patronized the turf have
withdrawn, disguised with the sport as i is
now managed. 1t is to be hoped that the state
of things which now disgraces the turf will not
be long Uttered to continue.

Monday Last.

We congratulate our fellow citizens, on the
quiet and good order which prevailed in our
town on Monday last. The day passed off as
becomes American citizens to pass it, and
nothing occurred to disturb the harmony and
sacredness of the occasion. In view of the
political excitement which was running very
high, all good men of both parties seem to vie
with each other, in maintaining order, and the
merchants of our town particularly, deserve
the thanks of the community, in that they re-
fused to allow any intoxicating drink to be
had at their establishments The voters went
orderly to the Polls, deposited their votes for
their favo,ite candidates and came away. A
committee was around the ballot box, composed
of men whose integrity was beyond dispute
to see that the law was faithfully complied with
and that the rights of all should be respected
We did not see drunken man on the streets
during the day, which may be accounted fol
as the legitimate good fruits of the excellen
judieious policy adopted by our merchants ii
regard to dishing out liquor. There were ma
ny, perhaps, who would have taken super
abundance of fire water, but they could not sc
it, and thus were happily restrained.
All voted who had right so to do, and none
as we know of attempted to exercise the rigi'
of suffrage, who were not legally entitled to til
privilege.
May every election pass off in the same mar
ncr, and may nothing more occur to distur
; the peace and quiet ofan election day in futul
than occurred on Monday.

An incident took place at the barbecue held
at Mrs. Whitten's on Sandy Creek, on Thurs
day evening, which created quite scene of
meriment At the time dinner was announced,
Dr. Ed. De|oney, of Clinton, got up on the
stand, and in his ordinary gave manner said
that if any democrats, who had been led astray
by Know Nothingism, and who had withdrawn,
were present and would come forward, he
would give them the hand Of fellowship, and
welcome them baek-whereupo a wag who
perhaps had slumbered little, mistook his po

Native Americans.

Our party has been defeated in East Fclici-
ana-our opponentshave succeededin electing
all their candidates on the parochial ticket, and
have given majority of some fifty or sixty
votes to their candidates on the State ticket.
All this has been done by the most tremendous
exer,ions upon their part, and every cap trap
hum-lrum means that it was possible to in
vent has been resortcd to to bring about such
result.
By the most vociferous protestations our OPP
ponents have succeeded in turning the aucn-
ton of the masses away from considering the
rottenness of their own organization, and by
the same hoarsc bawling they have taken it
upon themselves to expound the doctrines and
views of the Native American party, placing
upon them all sorts of bastard constructions
and obscuring theirtruth from the pubic gaze.
1 They have deuded the masses by their misre-
presentations in regard to our political purpo-
ses, and led them away from the truth. The
hardshell prejudices of the democrats who
have joined our party have been appealed to
and sought to be aroused by every possible
means--in many instances ctfectually. And
thus has this election been won by our oppo
ncntS and lost to us. But this state of things
cannot always continue Let us have MORT
LIGHT, MORE LIGHT on the subject lie

cannot fail to appreciate and adopt what i
