EIRTIoN IN WILSON AND DEkALH
CouNrEs-A vacancy has occurred in the
State Senate by the resignation Of u. w
FRAZER, the former Senator from the coun-
ties Of Wilson and DeKalb.
Il is important that this vacancy should
be filled by a sound Conservative and an
able man. The people Of these counties
should assemble in convention at once, and
by harmonious aud prompt action place the
best man they have in the field. In our
own minds. but without undertaking TO die
tate to the people Immediately concerned,
We have fixed upon the Hon. JORDAN
SroKEs. Of Lebanon, as an emineutly proper
man for the place. During the late war he
was true TO the Union, and the enemy Of
fanaticism wherever he found it, and until
this day has maintained with remarkable
consistency and fidelity, the wise aud liberal
views Of the Conservative class ofpoliticians.
He is a profound constitutional lawyer a
forcible and earnest debater, and in the De.
alterations Of the State. Legislature, it is be-
Ieved he could WELD a most salutary in.
fuence. JORDAN Stokes has heretofore
been the recipient Of Senatorial honors from
this district, and he Is favorably know
throughout the State
We hope the people Of the district vii
Give him the nomination, and urge IL upOr
his acceptance
The election occurs upon ihe 10th Of thii
month, and prompt action among the voting
people Of Wilson and DeKalb is necessary

THE ELECTION YESTERDAY.


The returns Of the election will be found
in another column. Mr.. LELIYErr, the
Conservative candidate, is elected by an
overwhelming majority. The vote is less
than that cast a month ago by several hum
dred, but the majority for Mr.. LELLYErr is
proportionately as large as that given to
Judge BRIEN. There was desperate at
tempt on the part Of the Radicals to III
crease their vote, and reduce the Conserva-
tive majority, but it failed. The result
proves that Davidson county cannot be sew
cred from her conservative position, and
proposes to take no step backwards in the
contest with Radicalism.
We congratulate our immediate fellow
citizens, and the State at large, that in the
persons Of JOHN S BRrEN and JOHN LELL-
YETI the Legislature will have two firm,
true and able members who know their
duties, and know the rights oftheir constiu-
ents, and knowing, dare maintain them.

with the exception of Hungary. He also
addressed letter to the Chancellor of Hum
gary announcing that the eOnvocation Of the
Hungarian diet had been deferred, Cor the
present on account of the prevalence OF
cholera.
Cardinal 2. Zeelowske, Prince Imperial
of Hungary, died on the 10Th, at Graw, aged
eighty-one years. The cholera was greatly
diminishing at Pesth.
The London Globe adverts to the diver
gence of policy on the Polish question
between Austria and Russia.
The Russian troops in Poland, which
sometime ago received orders to proceed TO
the southern frontier Of the empire, which
are now on their march thither, have been
ordered back to their old quarters as pro-
lection against any insurrectionary move
ment among the Poles.
The Russian Government is apprehensive
that Austria's eonciliatory policy towards
the Polish subjects in Gallia is an indication
that the Court of Vienna is preparing to fol-
low an antagonistie policy TO that OF Russia
IN the eastern question, and very naturally
concluded that in this matter the Austrian
Government is acting in concert with that
of France.
Turkey advices from Cons;antinople to
Oct: ~, Via Vienna, says the Certians have
made an attempt &c sci fire TO the Turkish
fleet off Gambia. The province Of Selma had
been evacuated by the Turks. The Cretian
insurgents are said to have murdered an en-
voy bearing a flag of truce sent by Kiriii
Pasha.
Some further dates have been received re-
lating to the war between the Brazilians and
Paragraphs. They are from a Brazilian
source. The sinking of the Rio de Janeiro
is confirmed. Her commander and sixty
four of the crew persisted.
The Brazilians successfully stOrmed for!
held by the enemy, taking four pieces Of
cannon, three flags, and quantity Of arms
and ammunition. The loss of the Brazil
ians in the assault was two hundred killed
and eight hundred and five wounded; that
of the Paraguayans was much heavier, as
over seven hundred were buried by the Bra
zilians.
The session Of the Brazialian Parliament
was closed on the 10th, when the Emperor
delivered a speech, praising the patriotic
spirit of the people, and urging them to an
energetic prosecution of the war.

The Baltimore Police DiaicuItv

BALTIMORE, Nov. 1.-The old Police
| Commissioners are in session with their
counsel and advisers 1t is not known def
nitely what they will do. 1t is believed
they will take some such course as the fol-
lowing: Under the law which creates the
Board of Police Commissioners, it is claimed
| that they have most ample power They
can, in any emergency, increase their force
without limit, and call out the military if
they deem it expedient. They can also
summons the sheriff. who was made subject
to their order. The have taken, it is I'M
derstood, the ground, first, that they are not
guilty Of official misconduct; and second,
under the clause in the new Constitution of
the State, they maintain that, as they are
elected to Office by the Legislature, the Gov
ernor has no power to remove them, on the
ground that the clause below quoted annuls
and abrogates the provisions of the law I'M
der which the Governor acts, which was
passed prior to the adoption of the new Con-
stitutiOn. The clause in the new Constitu-
ton referred to is as follows:
Article two, section seyenteen-the Gov
ernor may suspend, etc, and may remove
for ineompetency or misconduct, all civil
officers who receive appointment from the
years. 1t is claimed that as the Commits
sioners are elected by the Legislature and
not by the Governor, therefore the Governor
cannot remove them. On this ground it is
understood the Commissioners will 90 into
the Court, and in the meantime resist, by
lawful means and otherwise, parties who
may assume or attempt the exercise of their
functions, or functions of a police officer; if
United States troops, they will protest to the
commander that they are simply exercising
their lawful functions, and they are not in
either instruction or rebellion, within the
meaning of the clause of the Constitution of
the United States in reference to that sub
ject; but if the Government troops forcibly
eject them from the possession of the Com
missioners Office, MarshaPs Office, police
station, etc, they will submit, and under
protest await the decision the courts. They
profess the greatest solicitude to avoid any
collision with the General Government, and
to prevent a popular outbreak. II is now
said that Mr.. Ford is not to be a Commits
sioner; that George R. Barry and Captain
Horn, as before stated, are to be appointed.
But nothing is positively known as yet.

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 1.-The Governor has
decided to remove the commissioners. The
decision is very bitter against them. He
says the registry lists of 1866 should have
been received, and that the Judges of Blec
ton have no right to go behind the registry
law. He says the Police Commissioners
and the Judges of Election were most parti.
san in their character, and were guilty Of
gross official misconduct He would call
upon the United States Government to up
hold its authority if it should be necessary.

For the Delaware Republican.
THE NEXT GOvEnNOR:

By a Communication In last Thursdays Re.
publican, the soldiers are called upon toj do
battle for the right at the next election for
Governor.
Having seen some service in the late war, |
cheerfully respond to the call, to remember
the Soldiers friend.
am personally acquainted with one gentle
mnn whose friendship to the soldiers, and their
families has been established beyond dispute,
and whose record on the War and Union ques-
tion lie not surpassed by any In the State, |
allude TO Mr.. Riddle, well known as an extern
siye cotton manufacturer, on the Brandywine,
and for him would bespeak the cordial sup
port of my brother soldiers.
Mr.. Riddle has been q resident of Delaware
over twenty one years, during which time he
has sustained the reputation of an honorab BILE
and upright man in all his business trsnsac-
tions.
He employs several hundred hands and pays
very large amounts yearly for the support OF
the State, aud general government. He has
always given his assistance to every move ment
tor the public good, During the war he gave
his hearty support to the soldiers and no viii
lage in the State sent SO many men to the army
in proportion to its male population, as did
Riddles Banks, 1t being represented in every
Delaware regiment, and also in the Navy.
Fifty or sixty men from Riddles Banks were
no common compliment, and to their families
who remained at home, Mr. Riddl. gave all
the assistance in his power.
Is it not therefore the duty of the soldiers
under theee circumstances to give Mr.. Riddle
their united support at the next election2 No
man better deserves it. ANOTHER soLpIRR.
