says Scott, the opposing candidate
withdrew his name in consequence oi
the intimidation of voters by the

ugly Mayor still presides in its coun-

One OF THE PosTMAsTERs In the
Federal Court, lately held in Staun-
ton, the Grand Jury indicted a post
master at Sleepy Greek Bridge, Nor
gan county, for opening letters in his
office. So far as appears 30 money
was taken from letters by him, but
he seemed to be instigated by mere
curiosity, opening aud reading let
ters in the presence of different per-
sons. 1t was in evidence that he
refused to mail letters left at the
Office, claiming the right to exercise
a sound discretion in all matters
partaining to his Office!

4 BREAK DISCOVERED IN THE AT
LANTIC CABLE.-The workmen en-
ployed in cutting up the cable in the
machine shop at the Brooklyn navy
yard, says the New York Times,
found break in the communication
copper wire about .hree-eighths of an
iuch long, the saw passing through in
the solid gutta-percha, showing that
the disconnection must have occurre d
during the process of manufacture,
and therefore leading to the very
great probability that othel similar
LESSONS may have occurred in othei
parts of the cable. What have the
electricians to say in regard to this
fact, which is we'll authenticated?

LATEST PARIS FAsHIoNs.-The lat-
est news about Paris "fashions" is
somewhat startling. Fat is the rage
Ladies cultivate it. They are de-
vouring vast quantities of butter,
rose leaves, and such like. The
Empress is quite corpulent, which
accounts for the style. The fashion
will be here before long. We hail it
with joy. A new era is dawning
The girls will stop eating slate pen
ellis and chalk, and commence par
taking literally of roast beef anf
baked beans. They will rise with
the lark. They will exercise. They
will try on the wash tub perhaps.

The N. Y. Herald says that the
Queen of Spain has agents here, who
have command of two millions OF
dollars. to be invested in this coun-
try. The same paper states that
most of the crowned heads OF Europe
are doing an active business in the
way of investments in the United
States. Louis Philippe had large
possessions in our Republic, anc Louis o
Napoleon has sent from three to five ".
millions here to be invested by his
agents. 1t is said that the GIT stes'
operators in this way are the petty
princes Of Germany, whose invest
ments in American securities amount
it is believed, to fully fifty millions
Of dollars.

that Gov. Weller, in his Inaugural message
recommended that the election laws be extended
to primary elections. The Bulletin at once
endorsed the suggestion in an elaborate art
Gle. The Yreka Chronicle also thinks "thai
laws should be passed controlling the election
OF delegates" to conventions. At recent
vote of the Democrats OF San Francisco, upon
the proposition to reorganize the Democratic
party of that city, in one Of the wards resolu-
ton was adopted In favor Of petitioning the
Legislature to pass law in accordance with
the accommodation Of Gov. Weller.
The evil sought to be remedied is certainly Q
very great one, but we doubt whether it Is prac-
ticabls to avoid it, under the Congtitutien. Sup
pose that the election laws are extended to the
primary meetings." how is it possible to pre-
vent Know Nothings or Black Republicans frsm
voting ut Democratic primary meetingsw OF
vice versa. Sec. lst, Art. I'd, OF the Constitution
declares, that .. To-
s,.,S, Every white NAL: citizen Of til: United
Of the age OF twenty -one years, who shall have
been a resident of the State six months next
preceding the election, and the county or dis
trict in which he claims his vote thirty days,
shall be entitled 10 cote at ALL elections which are
now or hereafter may be authorized by law, +"
30.
Extend the election laws TO these "prmary
meetings." then, and how, we again ask are
you going to prevent Black Republicans veting
Tor delegates to Democratic nominating cOnven-
tiops? or Democrats voting for delegates to
Black Republican conventions? We believe
