have the whole matter fully tested. We
believe that the appointment is good
one; but we join with large numbers of citl-
zeps in requesting that the matter may be
fairly settled by the courts, in order to avoid
the same difficulty hereafter. Either of the
gentlemen would, we doubt not, wear the judi
cial ermine with grace, dignity, ability and
impartiality; but it seems to us that Mr.. Davies
has right to be heard in the matter.

IHE CASE " JUDGE C0wLES.--We Dublish
this morning some interesting correspondence
between Judge Cowles and some of the lead
ing members Of the bar in this county. 1t will
be remembered that Judge Cowles was ap-
pointed to I'LL avacancy on the Supreme Bench
caused by the death Of Judge Edwards. Judge
Cowles filed the place much to the satisfac-
ton Of the bar and the people, and received
several nominations for the long term. The
democratic party, however, having united on
Mr.. James II. Whiting, Judge Cowles was de-
feated. A few days previous to the election,
Judge Morris died, making another vacancy,
and the political parties nominated candidates
for the succession-Mr. Henry Z. Davies re-
ceived the highest number OF votes cast. and
claims the seat The Governor Of the State
has decided that the election was invalid-as
The law requires twenty days notice--and he
has appointed Judge Cowles to oil the yacan-
cy. The letter we publish is request on
the part of large portion Of the bar that
Judge Cowles win accept, which he has, but

HEALTH OF MEMPHIs-A fever of fatal
type has been prevailing in Memphis to some
extent. The papers of that city have discussed
the point as to the proper name for this fever,
some calling it ''yellow," and Others typhoid.
We notice among the deaths, that of JOHN
townsman, Capt. Thomas II. Newell, aged
sixteen years. This is the second son Capt
Newell has lost from the fever in the space of
three-weeks. We learn, also, verbally, that
at last accounts Mrs. Newell was quite sick
Capt. Newell has many warm friends in this
city, who will deeply sympathise with him in
his severe Affections.

Municipal Election.

The American party of the city have NOM
mated their ticket for the offices of Mayor and
Aldermen, and present it to the voters for their
ratification on Saturday next. The names OF
the different candidates are presented by no
midnight clique" as were those of the anti
American ticket. They were chosen by the
voters of the city in their primary meetings,
nearly .J5Oe hundred Uoters taking part in their
nomination. They are all good men-relia-
bic, solid men.
For Mayor, the present incumbent is NOM
mated, and nine of the old Board are nominal
ed, for reelection. The seven new names
presented are such as will secure at once the
confidence and support of the taxpayers of
the city.
The affairs of this corporation in years past
have doubtless been loosely managed. But
for the last twelve months at least, there has
been palpable change and for the better
Every close observer must acknowledge that
under the industrious and careful administra-
ton of the present able Executive, the pros
poets of removing the heavy burden of indebt-
edness which has SO long borne down our
municipal government have been greatly
strengthened. The Mayor, assisted by the
Aldermen and financial officers of the city,
has bestowed laborious and unremitting atten-
ton upon the condition of the city's credit;
and slowly but surely plans have been matur-
ed to remove this incubus. Many salutary re-
forms have already been introduced and acted
upon. Others are in embryo, and will be en-
ergetically carried out. In the mean time, our
city schools have passed through their most
trying ordeal-trying as well TO the city ad-
ADMINISTRATION as TO the schools themselves-and
no one viii undertake TO say that they have
been disappointed in the general happy results
of the experiment thus far.
For the first time in the history of our city
elections direct party issue has been made.
The ."Anti-Know Nothing" ticket, so.called,
has been hoisted, and its stanGard-bearer de-
clares that it twill be supported by all those
who see the embarrassments into which the
city has been plunged by those who have
controlled its government for some time past,
and who wish to extricate it,"
We presume the Union and american means
by;ssome time past" period previous to the
incoming of the present administration, for We
are sure no one familiar with the legislation
of the present Board of Mayer and Aldermen,
will attempt to say that they have 'plunged"
the city into ''embarrassments." The reverse I
is true in every particular
We are perfectly willing, and we doubt not
that the American party is equally willing, 20 .
accept the challenge thrown out by our oppo-
nents in the approaching election. The ticket
nominated By the people will be supported by 1
by the people, in spite of the attempt Of party
leaders to array party feeling in the election.
