Consn,.s,onsEs' EIeotion,

Judging from the number of tickets already brought
Forward we should judge that the pending election for
Commissioners Of The Town of Wilmington is attract
ing attention than il has for Bone years back
The government Of tbs Town never required more
prudence and f:macss combined. The events Of the
war have in measure torn things loose from their
moorings, whilst the peculiar character of lie trade
here-that Of blockade rQnnDgbTDgs in large float
ing population moi the most amCnable 70 the usual re-
sraints OF society The came precautions that would
have been sufficient to guarantee tho peace Of town
and the safety of property in usual quiet times will be
found totally inadequate TO secure theg9 ends under ex-
listing circumstances.
We have pointed out bat g0nle Of The difficulties to
be encountered. Breaches of the peace and crimes by
violence may be due 70 a f)ating white population,
such We have alluded to- but we think that offences
against property, such thcfs from dwellings, break
ing into and Eobong fowl houses aud emokehouse and
he like are mainly fhe work of negroes and OF them
there would appear TO be q gang or gangs
Drunkenness is bad enough in ITSELF but it may be
aggravated By aeudaG. crcumstnncea IS for instance
If it leads to theft, robbery end other diahonesty which

nstey too elruin that drunkenness getting very CON-
mon among the colored population 1t has been re-
marked to us by great many people whose avocations
give them far better opportunities of judging than
possess.
Let us say plany-the coming year is likely 10 be
year of trial harder than any have yet gone through
with. 1t will indeed try mems souls aud all that s in
them, and Wilmington cannot 10 any event hope to e.
