MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.
az The sombre tinge which precedes the

of the fight of time and the waning glory of
1856. Some of our citizens have already res
turned from the watering places, while many
Others are only lingering behind TO participate
in the festivities of the tournaments and grand
balls which usually wind up the season. The
city already exhibits the 'premOnitory symp-
toms of the stir and hustle which attends the
business season, while evidences are abundant
that there will be an amount of trade CENTER
ing here far greater than has ever before been
known during one season. We may confident
ly expect a very fourishing and gay time
during the Fall and Winter.
MORGAN & Co.-Goods in piles, goods 10
boxes and bales, goods in almos; infinite vare
~ and endless quantity, are encountered at
each step from cellar to garrett in the paatial
structure occupied by the shove firm, on the
North side of the Public Square. The build
ing, we need scarcely remark, was erected ex-
prezsly for a wholesale dry goods house, aud
in its plan and arrangement will compare with
any of the kind that we know fin the largest
cities of the Union. There are cOnvenencies
in fact to be found in the details of this build
ing which we have never seen elsewhere, al
though we have been conversant with the
plan and structure many of the larger whole
sale establishments in the two largest cities of
the States. This immense house is now cram
med with goods for the fall trade. We are
informed that there is not less than 100000
lie l. io h.r Ily ary
to attempt an enumeration of the articles
which the stock comprises. The task would
be far greater than time and space will allow
ms to accomplish, even if it were necessary.
The firm is well known as we'll as the descrip-
ton of goods in which they trade. Suffice it
that everything mentionable in the line Of dry
goods, staple aud fancy, ladies' goods of all
descriptions, trimmings, etc, etc, can tie found
there of every style, variety and quality, at
low prices and upon most accommodating
terms. Dealers will hardly do themselves jus.
tice when they come to market if they fail to
look through this immense assortment.
