THE MAYoRALTY QuEsT1oN.-We learn that but
two objections have been laid before General
Candy against Hon. John r. Monroe's permanently
assuming the duties of the position to which he
has been elected by the people of New Orleans
The charges, interpreted in the language of com
mon sense, are, that Mr.. Monroe uttered rebeous
language after New Orleans was taken by the
Federal forces, and that he refused the oath of
allegiance which Butler said he would force him
to take. General Candy will forward to Washing
ton to-day these objections, suggestive merely Of
malice and peurility, and will also forward Mayor
Monroe's answers to them The opponents of
Mayor Monroe are seemingly bent on annihilatng
themselves, SO far as public estimation is con
cerned.
