The Esction-A Spirited Race.-Two new
announcements appear in our columns this
morning; DIR. Brentlinger and Smith Mcdonald,
the former for clerk and the latter for Sergeant.
The race for the sergenncy bids fair to be lively
and exciting. Eight entries are already booked
and the aspect of things shadows forth a more
spirited contest than has been previously wit
messed. We learn that the candidates all intend
{, stick to the track and play out their hands. As
they are all rather popular with the people than
otherwise, it is hard to tell which one will have
the most trumps. From the great number of
the racers, we think the result will be materially
influenced, in "old sledge' p%arlance, by the
simple turning up of a Jack.

rain was falling fast when the fire was discover

an incredible short space of time. The element
did such rapid destruction, that no efforts were

RECoNsIDERATI0N-A NEW SYSTEM We think the
last Legislature ought, hereafter to be known the

should receive full credit for having inauguraed the
system of despalchng business by the rule of double
reaction. Salisbury Watchman.
Think twice before you speak act once, is a
good maxim as well in public as in private life
The Legislature is blamed by the X. n papers, FIRST
because it did nothing-secondy, because it did too
much in one respect and not enough in others
thirdly, because in some things it acted hastily and
without due deliberaton; and now it is ccnsured
because it reconsidered questions now and them and
passed or rejected them finally only after the most
patient and faithful consideration. We perceive
more clearly than that it was not possible for
the last Legislature to please the Know Nohings
