receive the nomination for the next term of the pres

men he looks with an eye single to the good of his
country. rather than to his personal advance
ment-to the triumph of the principles of which he
has been able and distinguished advocate, rath-
err than to the reward for which many contend
His position in the Senare is such 10 make him the
object OF confidence with the whole country. From
his geographical position, his defence of the cons,i
tutional rights of the South is effective than

In his distinguished career he has demonstrated that

II strikes on looking al the law in regard to the
Office of Magistrate of the town Of Wilmington, that
some difficulty viii be found to exist in regard to the
eligibility of the gentleman elected TO that Office yes
terday The difficulty appears to exist in the wording
of the statute entitled AN act TO amend act
titled an act amend act passed in the year 1918.
chapter a. entitled An Act to elect magistrate for
the town of Wilmington" The 4th section of this
act provides that person shall be eligible to the
said Office who is not. at the time of his election an
acting Justice of the Peace for the county of New
Hanover And as the 1st section of the 62nd chap
ter of the Revised statutes, in regard to Justices
OF the Peace expressly provides that, every person
appointed justice of the peace, before entering upon
and executing the said Office, shall, within twelve
months thereafter and not AFTER unless appointed,
publicly, in the Court Houee of his County, on q
court day, take the oaths appointed, which shall
be appointed, by the General Assembly for the quail
caton of public officers, and also oath of Office
And if any person shall presume TO execute the
Office of justice OF the peace, without first quail
flying himself in the manner by this act re-
quired, he shall, for every such offence, for
felt and pay the OF two hundred dollars" etc, it
would seem that no one can be acting Justice of
the Peace until qualified as above, nor be eligi
BILE to the Office of Magistrate of The town of
Wilmington unless so qualified at the time Of his
election. In order to obvate guard against
any difficulties that might hereafter arise, ii would,
we think, be advisable to arrive at some certainty
in regard to this matter. W. know the gentle
man elected would be as little inclined as any one
could be to exercise doubtful powers, and it does
seem to us that considerable doubt must exist in re-
gard to his right to act under the election held yes
terday as we are not aware thai he has qualified
the law directs. and without hay ing done he
not be considered as acting justice OF the Peace
for New Hanover county, at the time of his election
The existing act in regard 10 the magistrate OF the
town of Wilmington was ratified Dec. Y, 1882

Our Table.

A day or two since Mr. Munds laid on oul table q
neatly gotten up pamphlet from the press of the
Appetons, New York. entitled I" A Year of the
War;" by M. Gurowsk, citizen of the United
States. 1t is strongly pro-Russian view of the
whole affair, and bears very palpabIe evidences of
having been written in the interests of that power,
with the object of ensting the public opinion Of the
United States in favor of Russia. 1t is plausible
and diplomatic rather than strengthy." 1t did not
require Mr.. Gurowski's pamphlet to convince us
that there is little in the character or course of the
Allies to enlist the Sympathies of the American
people, while on the other hand no special pleading
can bring us to believe that there is anything more
worthy Of our respect in the graspng despotism OF
the Car.

On Tuesday last the Legislature of New York re-
. elected VIM HgSewaFd to the Senate of the United
States for six years from the 4th Of March next by
majority OF six in the Senate and sixteen in the
House making twenty-five on joint ballot.
This Is another of those triumphs" over the ad-
mnistration in some of the most important States OF
the Union over which neighbour Of the Commercial
reioiced day or two since. Like the election of Will
son in Massachusetts, it is one of the natural and ne-
vtable results of the unprnciped fusion" against
the Democratic party 1t is of the fruits OF the
new movement" SO praised by Mr.. Burilngame'
Know Nothing member elected from Massachusetts
and endorsed by Senator Wilson. 1t is movement
which is certain to be followed up in Pennsylvania,
,oiher of these most important States in which the
new movement has undisluted control of everything.
The next Congress of the United States the first ell
ected under the auspices of the "new movement" will
exhibit bitterness OF opposition to the South unpaF'
aeled in the history of Federal Legislation. and only
to be kept in check by the conservative element OF
the Senate, in which the Democrats will still retain
preponderance, and the constitutional executive We
to, welded by national president.
Efforts will no doubt be made to show that spite OF
these results the Know Nothings of New York are
marvellous proper men'-the very men to save the
Union"-the very men with whom the people of the
South are called upon to affiliate. Now, the Know
Nothing organs openly made their boasts of having
elected majority of at least forty to the Legislature
of New York Their blatant organ at Washington
City distinctly admits this in its issue of Monday last
but comes down very severely upon some fifty of the
said Know Nothings who were ascertained to De Will
ling to go for Seward, into whom it pitches, at WaSh'
:ngton City, for Southern Consumption. while its
sq,orn brethren in New York quietly and preconcert
eddy elect Seward. The fact stands out too broadly
and boldly for contradiction or successful explana
ton, that Legislature, having large majority OF its
members elected by the Know Nothings, did quietly
easily and without difficulty elect The most danger
Gus man in the Union to the United States Senate.
1t is strange coincidence that every State so far
carried by the new movement" has an abolition
Legislature and an abolition delegation in Congress
But of course, it is emnently national movement!
