MUNICIPAL OFFfcE. Legislature pass
ed an act at its late session, declaring clergy
men ineligible to any municipal Office. 1t is
supposed that its provisions were intended to
apply to the Board of Public Education, but as
that organization is not a municipal body, its
members are not effected by it. Hence Rev.
George F. Wiswell and Rev. leighton Coleman
were reelected at the recent. school election
When the editor of the Gazette shows conclu-
sively that the Board of Education IS a n,uni-
cipal body or that the members of it hold Office
under one, it will be time enough to denounce
the gentlemen in question, for illegal conduct
or disposition to inculcate dsobedience to
law. The Board has not been furnished GER
tilted copy of this act, (which must have been
originated through the most petty feeling or
spite, and in the meantime shall give to it the
Interpretation which common report warrants.
If the editor can show that the members of the
Board of Education are municipal officers,
we pledge him that the gentlemen in question
will not attempt to rebel in order to hold the
position to which the citizens have elected
them. .-Repubtican.

The CITIZENS BANK.-Last week we noticed
that the Commissioners of the Citizens Bank
of this town had postponed opening the books
for subscriptions TO the capital stock of that
proposed institution until the first of June next
On assembling, as per notice, last Wednesday,
two parties of gentlemen, from New York, we
believe, came forward and offered to take the
amount of stock required by the charter. One
party had their bank-safe and other requisites
for commencing operations. But the Commits
sloners, being unacquainted with these parties
offering to furnish the capital, and desirous of
protecting the town against wildcat insti-
tutions, (if such were contemplated) decided
to act as above stated, in order that they may
be fully advised with regard to the plans pro-
posed by the gentlemen in question.

MURDER AND LYNCH LAW IN ACCoMAC
COUNTY, VA.-On Thursday evening of last
week Mrs. DrummOnd, wife of Can't John
Drummond resident of Accomac county, near
POngoteague, was most brutally murdered by
negro who was recently in the army. The
New Town Record says:
lie also attempted the murder of a colored
woman at the same time. His purpose was
robbery. lie asked Mrs. Drummond for some
money, supposed to be in the house, which she
refused to give him, whereupon he procured
an axe and burst her skull open and dragged
her to the stables. He then demanded of the
eeoored woman that she should say that the
horse kicked her mistress. -
She refused to tell the falsehood, and he then
struck her with the axe in the same manner
and left her for dead. The colored woman
though dangerously wounded, revived sufi-
GENTLY to state the above facts, and with strict at
tenton being paid to her case may eventually re-
cover. The citizens of PongOteague went in
search OF the author of the fendish act. and
capturing him, at once hung him to limb of

M IHE GERMAN DfFFicUITIEs. There is a
.a .all IN the warlike rumors from Germany, but
t Lne hangers OF war are no less than they have
Deen. The Austrian and Prussian Govern
ments are sending diplomatic notes to each
o.ener-Austria apparently deprecating hostili-
tles, ana Prussia threatening war. Austria is
evidently nursing the difficulty until she can
arm az herself thoroughly and secure allies among
the nelghboring German States. The real OBJ
Ject OF Prussia in seizing Schleswig- Holstein is
not that she cares SO much fo.. those Duchies,
but because she wants the thriving little port
OF kiel, in Holstein, where she can eduip a
navy. kiel is a town of Is, 900 people, enjoys
=, large commerce., and is near the Baltic Sea,
10 an inland country like Prussia. without
available seaports, this little town is valuable
