the present incumbents in office or max
ing new appointments The common opin-
ion is that Mr.. G. NJ. Farris will be put in
the field for the mayOralty.

make the following extract from the private
letter of Republican politician, residing
| temporarily in the Old North State, to his
friend in this city, showing the beauties of
8 manhood suffrage under Radical recon

| I" We had an election last week for the
purpose of voting for and against a Con
vention. But very few whites voted il
was mostly done by the ''intelIigent (?l
contraband," who did not know whether
he was voting for George Washington or a
new town-pump. [ hope there may be al
improvement in the next gencration-ther
is certainly room for it. "
