OFFICES DExANDED.-0n Saturday last Mr..
P. ]. Coogan, who was recently elected City
Assessor, applied at the Assessors Office to
Mr. ". N Hughes, late incumbent, and de-
manded it, showing his authority. Mr.
Hughes, who has with other CITY officers an
rounced his intention to contest the recent
election, refused to vacate. Similar demands
will be made by others Of the newly elected
officers to-day. As the Mayor has, under AL
derman T. j. Mackey's resolution. the right to
call on the police force to remove all officers
who refuse 70 yield to their ''duly elected and
qualified successors" it is presumed that the
services OF the force will be brought into re-
quisition to-day. The report that the Mayor
has obtained the field battery on Citadel Green
to shell out the refractory officers lacks con-
frmatlon.

The MARKET FOB SOUTHERN SECURITIES
The New York Herald OF Thursday, in its money
article, says:
In Southern securities the new North Caro-
linas we're weak and pressed for sale, owing to
the issue OF large number Of new bonds to
the Western North Carolina Railroad Company,
dated April 1869. Tennessees were more
steady, and in some quarters there was feel.
ing that the interest would be paid up, as the
railroads would be forced to hquldste their
indebtedness to the State. Louisiana levee
bonds are higher for the skies. but weak in the
eights. South OarolInas were weak under
numerous sales, some suspiciously like
ssWashes." The whole market was heavy,
however. in sympathy with the general course
Of the day. The following we're the closing
prices: Georgia SKIES 81a62; do sevens 92a94;;
