The FRAcAs AT THE CRY HAII@-We publish
jury in reference to the election riots 10 the First
ward. For the last day or two we have been
publishing afiidavits aud other details Of infor-
nation with regard TO those riots we are rather
surprised TO see that some of the papers talk Of
war between the Mayor and the Recorder on the
subject There Is no war that VIC have heard OF
between those officials
Mr.. Smith, the Recorder, wanted to be Mayor,
but failed in getting the nomination. Mr.. Ca
prom, the City Judge, wanted to be continued
In his Office, but was beaten at the polls Diiic-
rent frcm these persons, Fernando Wood, who
alto wanted 10 be Mayor, was elected to the Office.
This difference of fortune has led to some little
sspsIiiy Of feeling on the part Of these two gen
tiemtn toward Mayor Wood; feeling themselves
broken down and nearly flashed as politicians,
,hey have INDUCED Quixotic desire 70 tcrmi-
nate their career with q finc flourish Of ZONE
Kind They lrss thought OF frightening the pc
lice. and a pair q foolish letters accordingly ap

City Judge aud Recorder would be after them
with sharp stick on election day However
this move may have succeeded as an indication
u the extraordinary energy OF these officials, II
Vas the less effective with the police, the mem

aware that Judge Capron goes out at New Year,
aud tha, between this and then be can hardly
decsri,ale many Offenders
Nothing Disguised perhaps unaware Of their

now turned their atieniion TO Mayor Wood, and

THE CHARGES AGAINST THE WESLEYAN MIS-
sIoNARIEs AT THE FEEJEE IsLANDs.-In another
column viii be found communication from q
Salem shipmaster, in reply to certain charges
against the Wesleyan missionaries at the Feejee
Islands, contained in q letter signed David Stu
art, which appeared in our columns short time
since. We have now given both sides of the
story, and leave our readers to draw their own
conclusions as to the facts The communication
referred to also contains some severe structures
the conduct of Commander Boutwell, in the en-
forcement of the claims arising out Of the de-
struction Of the town Of Levuka by the Islanders.
We give these statements because they are sup
ported in part by official documents. Although
they are to certain extent 0pdre in their char
acter, our readers will agree with us that the pc
culiar circumstances of the case justify US in
placing them before the public. 1t is but right
that grievances Of this sort, occurring at such
mote distances from the seat of redress, should
find some prompt exponent near the general go
vernment.

Marshal Mare,zek and the imperturbable First

kip lise young lambs, clap their hands and sing
for joy.

Baron dc Stankovitch ON his part agrees 10 pay se
ven hundred and tifty dollars per week rent and
takes the house for six weeks. Max Maretzek
was not to conduct the orchestra unless he
apologized TO the Committee, but it is stated
that Max Maretzek win not apologize. aud the
conductors chair viii be filled temporarily by
the leader The house win be opened by the
La Grange company, on Monday next, with the
"Trovatore," of course.
Field Marshal Maretzek WILL we suppose,
profit by our advice and take a short season Of
repose, during which he can take look az
Niagara Falls and run out 70 that plantation in
kentucky.
We expect remarkable season under the La
Grange management, and We shall see how the
Baron gets on with the stockholders. What we
should like to scc-and the public is with US, We
believc-would be Thalberg as the musical
director. With the artists that he could gather
around him, we could have an operate campaign
of unexampled brilliancy. However, that is
after consideration, and II is gratifying to see

the Opera on Monday, Wednesday and Friday,

RuSsia'S plan 0fNe Neat Years CAM
P0ign.-A letter from Moscow of the
goth ult. says: THE grand council of
generals lately convoked at St. Peters
burg under tho personal presidency of
the Emperor, have settled tho princip-
les on which the forthcoming campaign
shall be carried on. ST. Petersburg and
Moscow are to be fortified, and togeth-
or with Warsaw, will form tho three
first class fortrosses Of the empire
Gen. Todlleben has arrived here, and

ing the ground and fixing the poles to
designate the line Of circumvalation,
which will be commenced on the break
ing up Of the frost.
Besides this other fixed principles
of strategy have been agreed on for the
prosecution OF the war, though it must
be confessed that as it is so essentially a
defensive war on the part of the Rus
slams, all these plans may be complete
ly upset, or at all events greatly mod
flied, by any change in the system of
attack on tho part Of the Western Pow
crs. 1t is fully expected in Russia that
next year the principal seat of the war
will be transferred TO the north, and the
greatest exertions are making for an ef.
icient defenco. For the safety Of Cron-
stadl and Helsingfors no fears are en-
tertained as the experience of the last
two years has shown that the enemy are
not able to infict much damage; nor is
it feared that even if the fleets are in
creased by 200 steam gun boats they
could take either of these stronghods
unless with the cooperation Of nu.
merous and well appointed army on
shore. Tho system Of tactics resolved
on by The great council of war may be
summed up as follows The fortifca-
ton Of St. Petersburg, Moscow Kew
Warsaw, aud Nicholaief secondly The
concentration ola few but imposing ar
mics; aud thirdly the abandonment of
! all the minor places, so Liebau, Riga,
ard even Odessa, will be deprived of
regular garrisons, aud left to the fate
and tender mercy Of the enemy. The
cold is so severe that several sentinels
have been found frozen to death in their
| sentry boxes, although they are relieved
| every half hour.
