Il was terrific. All the streams In the Terri
tory were ovoriowing. At Canyon City the
water was within two feet Of high water mark
Of 1865, and rising rapidly. This heavy fall of
snow with the heavy rains that preceded it,
will swell the Missouri TO an unusual hight.
White river continues in a good boating stage
as far up as Jaeksonport. Business at the
levee is rather light to-day, owing TO the lin
tied number Of arrivals and departures.

THE FIRST PREMIUM AT THE GREAT

bines all the utility of the sewed boot with the
oheapness of the pegged boot Its construc-
ton is in this wise; instead of pegs, peculiar
shaped brass screw is driven into the sole when
damp, and smoothly and securely clinched,
thus holding the soles and uppers together so
They have all the smoothness and elasticity of
the sewed boot, and none of the disadvan-
tages attaching to the pegged boot: We sell
them at a price but trifle more than that of
the pegged boots thus we furnish you with
something that is indeed economical. We
have fresh stock of all kinds Of Boots and

also "a fine line Of shoe ornaments, which we
will sell at wholesale and retail.

Tho City Election.


The election yesterday was one Of the most
quiet and orderly we have had for several
years, in strange and marked contrast with the
exciting scenes presented when the democratic
war horses .sbluckled on their armor," fof q
fierce and bitter contest. The democrats failed
to have the courage even to make the show of
a fight, in their own name, few of the old
liners acting in "Citizens' Caucus" many of
the young men of the party voting with the
republicans, while others stayed away from
the polls. Hon. James w. North, who with
out his knowledge and consent, was nominal
ed as candidate for Mayor at the Citizens
Caucus" on Saturday evening, came out yester-
day morning with the following card:
To VorERs.
AUGUSTA, March IA, 1870.
have just learned by the Daily Journal of
the unauthorized use Of my name for the once
Of Mayor, at Citizens Caucus on Saturday
vening.
I suppose it may be unnecessary for me to
say that could not accept nomination for
that Office from any source, and would caution
voters against the use of my name. The re-
publicans should be true to their nominees,
Hon. SAMUEL TITcoMB and II. w. TRUE, and
suffer no device from any quarter to weaken
or divide their strength.
JAMES w. NORTH.
The corner stone was thus knocked out of
the new structure that was sought to be erected.
Hon. Daniel Williams, who had been placed
on the same ticket without his knowledge or
consent, did not deem it Of sufficient import
ance to publicly withdraw his name. Candi-
dates for the different ward officers showed
every shade of politics, as our returns will
show. 1t was piece of barefaced impudence
to use the names Of respectable citizens in con-
nection with such party. In Ward s, the
name of Mr.. Chase was thus used for Alder
man without the least knowledge on his part,
as also was the name of Mr.. Hoyt for Council
man and Mr.. Leighton for Clerk in the same
Wards
The republican victory yesterday was easily
won. Hon. Samuel Titcomb was reelected
Mayor by 57s majority; and Hon. II. w.
True, Municipal Judge, by majority of +s4.
We give below the vote in detail. Wehardly
know how to class the opposition, but have
concluded to give them the full benefit Of the
name which they have stolen, Citizen"
For MAJOR AND MUNICIPAL JrpoE.

The Gardiner Cornet Band gave a concert
in Hallowell on Saturday evening, assisted by
Miss Ridgway Of Boston, and Mr.. NJ. G.. Mil
liken of this city. The playing by the band
was excellent and entertaining. The Corn.t
Solo by Mr.. Mcdonald, as well as the Duet
BY him and Mr.. Gardiner, were very fine per-
formances. The singing by Miss Ridgway,
we think, is not often surpassed by the most
noted singers of our country. She is sweet
SINGER, and her imitation of bird singing,
warblng, and solo or echo singing were real
LIVERY fine. As a pianist she is no COM
mon performer. Her last piece, the Cavalry
Camp Serenadc," could not fail to be received
with great applause by any audience.
