made regarding the definition and origin of the term
Broker and we will try to eucdate the Question

Charleston Municipal Election.

Mr. Macbeth was last week elected Mayor of the City
Of Charleston, by majority of l25 Mr.. Richard
son.
Both gentlemen were unexceptionable as regards
character and ability and both personally popular. 1t
was not strictly party contest although the question
of Know Nothngism seemed to enter somewhat into it,
but in peculiar way The friends of each party tried
fix the charge upon their opponents and ignore
plain it away from themselves Mr.. Richardson had
been member of the order but we think went for Mr.
Buchanan at any rate conceded that the vote of the
State ought to be cast for that gentleman 1t charged
by the friends of Mr.. Richardson that Mr.. Macbeth
had been elected member of the order even if he had
not actually joined it, and it replied by Mr. NJ and
his friends that with this he had nothing to do and had
never authorized the proposal of his name, sympa
thise with the principles of that organization. To
claim sound Democracy and explain any Know Moth
ngsm seemed to be the great effort both Sides if
may Judge from the tone of communications in the
Charleston papers, including Mercury, Standard and
Courier. Mr.. Macbeth seems to have made the most
successful showing, and his election followed.
