Enough known to authorize to say that all of the
American candidates for Aldermen are elected that
all of the American candidates for Assistant Alder

and that all of the American candidates for the

The triumph is signal, overwhelming, complete.

intelligent among our adopted citizens AS they
think the country in which they were born better
than any other country, they willing to accord
the same privilege they claim for themselves.

fed that the closer the investigation, the the
| vindication Of the American party.
We desire to be magnanimous still are constrained
to ask our friends Of the Courier sent that eight

THE BELLE OF THE LAKES VICTORIOUS Although
it was not generally supposed that there would be
any contest for the supremacy the lakes, still the
knowing ones on Saturday morning last were well
aware that the nyincbiityo the heretofore peerless
Oregon, of the mail line, was to be encountered by
the new steamer Kate Frisbee. It was given out on
Friday, that the Oregon, on the way to Mobile, would
stop at the Bay of st. Louis and Pass Christian
Saturday evening. This was known to be an innoya-
ton; for the same day and the same hour were of
the coast packet Creole schedule. The passengersfor
the coast selected their boats aud the arrival at
Port Pontchartrain, the pretty Oregon, which has
heretofore been the champion Of the Southern waters,
was there with colors flying apparently bidding def
ance to aboat which had its fame to earn, and all
doubts of intended trial of speed were at dis
PEELED. The Oregon waited IA unusual length of
time for her competitor to arrive from the upper rail
road to receive her passengers AS this required
rather longer time than the Oregon could with pro-
prety wait, she started out about five o'clock, few
revolutions ahead of her consort, the Creole, and
nearly fifteen minutes ahead of the Frsbee before
she could saiten up and lay her course having about
| three miles the start Within a few minutes of six
o'clock, the Frsbee passed the Creole as gracefully
as swan, and then headed the Oregon at the middle
ground. This was mastery movement of the skill
and sagacity the part Of Capt Walker the pilot of
the Frisbee. There was Inactivity at this time on

into her furnaces long invncibity was at stake,
but it was Of no avail she had the advantage Of deep
water and the Frsbee passed her. arriving at the Bay
of st. Louis, the first stopping place, ten minutes
ahead and proving herself to be the fastest boat
the Southern waters After this, the interest in the
over the excitement was ended and the Kate
Frsbee must receive the browning glory and her
owners the thanks and hearty responses Of the COM
munty for entering into trade where wealth. mono
poly coolness and sagaeity have for years held and
maintained undisputed sway and control
The question Of speed being now settled, the gu
premacy Of the lakes being ably and honoraby con-
tended for, there will be hereafter no occasion for
racing unless the proprietors Of the mail line should
place boat in the trade to depart the same hours
/ with the Frisbee. This would however, be of no
avail, they have only one boat the Creole which
can at all times enter the harhors of Bot and Ocean
Springs and go through Pass Christian. It will be
useless waste of time for her Or the California either
to assume to make the running time of the Frsbee
and as competition there being plenty Of room for
boths the very essence the very life Of trade and
commerce. we trust that good profits will be the re-
suit of the competitors, which has SO long been de
sired on the lakes and in the Mobile and New Orleans
/ trade. s&5 5s
