Fairfield County Elections.

On the %oth OF May all election is
ordered for several County officers IN
Fairfield County. These officers come
into closer contact with the people
than any others, and therefore, it
is much to bo desired that they be
citizens acceptable to all. One
of the Offices, tho Judgoship of
Probate, really requires citizcn Of
education and character to fill it we'll.
We hope that tho former Commission.
er in Equity, will consent to bo a
candidate for it. His duties and in
como will not be as large as formerly,
but tho County knows of no one who
will be moro acceptable to oil classes,
and stands in need of his services.
Ii Henry A. Gaillard don't suit our
colored citizens, who can please them
And tho white voto will be cheerfully
cast for him, as gentleman Of the
required education, integrity, courte.
sy and independence Of character.
Southern Trade.
The New York Commercial and FL.
mancial Chronicle, in review of the
March trade, says
Tho South has been larger pur.
chaser in our markets than at any pc.
riod within the last ten years, and it
might have been reasonably supposed
that good amount Of the currency
sent there in payment for cotton
would now begin to find its way back
The non-rcalization of this expecta
tion, however, warrants tho supposi
tion that tho South is now luying up.
on credit to much larger extent
than during tho lato years-an u.s.
sumption which is countenanced by
tho improved confidence felt in South
ern merchants.
On this the Baltimore San com.
ments as follows:
This, in one sense, speaks we'll for
the South, showing that,by its energy,
industry, and thrift, it oan command
money for its immediate needs, and
secure credit to whatever extont it is
judisious to avail of it-and it is to
be hoped it will not avail of it to any
great extent. Left by tho war almost
pcnniless, robbed even of its cattle,
its implements of industry destroyed,
with little help from othor States, OK
Dept that which our own Maryland
people hastcncd to tender to their ut
most ability, tho South is once more
getting fairly upon its feet, and uble
to mako its way, financially, again.
TO produce such result there must
have been general industry and So
brioty among all olussos, and SO, bo-
yond doubt, there has been. IF, un-
der tho drawbacks it has encountered,
tho Southern States had bccn freed
from political agitation, what limit
there would now be to their prosperi-
ty, or to that Of the country, which is
so largely dependent upon their vel.
farel Is it not time that the bust.
ness interests Of the North and of all
sections should awaken to tho com.
plctc rescue of their own commerce,
trade and industry from the malign
political and fanatical influences
which are still hampcring and oncum-
boring Southern progress 7 In Balti-
more tho trade with tho South has
continued to augment, but with pro.
gressivc restoration thoro we must ex-
pect other cities also to benefit by it.
There never were greater inducomc nts
in the Baltimore market for our
Southern as we'll as Western and in
terror friends generally than at pros
ont.'
