THE MARORALTY.
EDITOR REPUBLICM:

EDITOR REPUBLTCAN:
The question as to who shsll be Mayor Of
our goodly city under the new charter is
uppermost in the minds of the people.
Almost everybody has candidate and has
something to say on the subject. The peo-
pie are mnch divided on the question.
Many of the hangers-on at the City Han
think it would be an outrage to appoint any
other person than John r. Conway. Some
people think Monroe has been unjustly
dealt with, and should be restored to office
His heroic conduct at the riotr 1866 is sup
posed to be his strongest recommendation.
The young Democracy would like to have
L. A. Witt in the Office. The German re-
formers are elamarous for Jacob Hassinger
or Kaspar Auch. The sons of the Green Isle
think Patrick Harnan or John Henderson
would make good Mayor. The limo
cents u would like to have Sambolas
Grand Commander of the X. K.> X,
S. ". NJ, K. W. c., etc. The
lucky men are all for Charley How
ard. The merchants want George A. Fos-
dick. The Radicals want Bernard Soulie.
In fact almost every citizen has a candidate
of MS own. But have not yet heard the
name of single man who is fit for the
Office. The gentlemen named above have
character and brains. But we have the
highest authority in the land for saying that
| character and brains are no longer quallnca-
| tions for office. What we need now is
man of positive character, man OF de-
| cision--one who always knows what ne IS
| about-who never makes promise ne
| does not fulfill. Such a man is our
present Collector of the Port. The extra
ordinary ability he displays in managing
the Customhouse is wanted in the Mayors
! office. 1t is anxlously hoped that he may
| be offered the Mayoraity, and that he may
be induced to accept. One is cure that
| when he pledges himself thirty times to 90
| thing, and has taken q years. time to de-
| liberate on it, he will do it or not--as he
pleases.
Hurrah for James F. Casey! Let US have
| him tor Mayor, and Henry ingalls, Il Co., as
his counsellors.

RICHMOND, Va, March IA conflict of
authority has arisen between the newly ap-
pointed city authorities and the old incum-
berts. Mayor Cahoon refuses to give up
the office to Mayor Ellison, who was elected
last night by the City Council. The former
has sworn in one hundred and fifty special
constables, including twenty COlored men,
and the latter has two hundred special
officers. The old police force is divided
about equally between the two Mayors.
Ellison has possession of the City Hall, and
ali other public buildings except the station.
house, which is held by the Cahoon party.
Mayor Cahoon wrote 10 Governor Walker,
stating his position, and asking for assist
ance TO maintain his authority. Governor
Walker replied that, Ellison being legally
elected under an act Of the Legislature, he
could not recognize any one else as Mayor;
that Cahoon is ineligible, and can not hold
an office under the Virginia law, as he al
ready holds federal office; that no breach
of the peace can occur without Cahoon's
act or approval; that he should resort to
peaceful and judicial remedies if he wants
to test the question OF right, and finally he
should obey the laws and sustain the con-
stitutlonal authorities.
Ex-Governor Wise, Judge r. W. Hughes
and L. I. Chandler are counsel for Cahoon,
who, with about thirty men are besieged in
the lower station house by the Ellison party,
who have cut off the gas and water, and have
forbidden any provisions to be sent them.
A crowd Of colored men bought out bake
shop and commenced throwing bread up to
the windows, but they were driven off bv the
special police. Al dark Mayor Ellison, Chief
of Police Poe, and others were arrested by
the United States Marshal for having refused
q revenue officer permission to see Cahoon
in his capacity as United States Commits
sioner.
They were hailed until to morrow. 4
company of troops have been brought into
the city by order of General Candy.
1t is stated that Judge Underwood will ar.
rive tomorrow, and issue al injunction pro-
hibiting Mayor Ellison from exercising the
duties of his Office.
There was great excitement here all day,
and but little business was done in the city.

Miss Kate Eeigno'ds at the Academy of


AS the engagement of this lady draws to
opinion that al who have failed to witness
her performances have missed treat that is
rarely met with nowadays. She is Ger
tainly one OF the cleverest actresses that
now graces the stage. She is handsome, gen.
teel and correct in all she attempts, and her
range Of characters is unlimited.
Ia gentee! comedy she is excellent, and,
from what we have seen of her emotional
powers, we should judge her good in tragedy.
In the play OF "Nobody's Daughter" which
is a well designed drama full of interest, Miss
Reynolds impersonates three characters
as distinct as possible, and does them all TO
perfection-rising from the lowest walks of
life to the highest, and filing each station
with naturalness and beauty that can no.
be excelled.
She is a perfect success as Marguerite. in
the drama Of Serpent on the HEARTH p
and the same may be truthfully said of her
performances as Jenny Wilson, Lady Eoers-
leigh snd Nile. Bretrer in the play Of
"Nobody's Daughter" We did not have the
pleasure of seeing her last evening, but feel
satisfied that as Co,tsat 81. Louis de Riche-
Reu, in the comedy CT " Richeleu at Six
teen," and as Lucy Arundle. in the come
dietta of 1.-TWO Can Play at that Game,'
she must have been supurb, IS they are
characters well suited to her genius and
taste.
We feel that all who have had the good
fortune to see this lady are pleased with her
sterling qualities as an actress. She is not
confined to one character, but is thorough
and versatile in her profession. Tonight
she will take a benefit, and we hope our
people will attest their appreciation of true
merit by giving Miss Reynolds rousing
house, for she richly deserves it.
