City Election.-On Tuesday
next, April 4th. will occur our annual
election of municipal officers. A mayor.
city clerk, treasurer. for the city Mt large;
and county supervisor. one alderman,
aud an assessor for each ward. and jus
tics Of the peace for the First and Sec
oud wards, are to be chosen.
For the office of mayor. we hav e
heard mentioned J. NJ B ,lry. Esq, the
present incumbent, A. A. M"scham, K.
n. Redmon. anil Squire Fold. For
city treasurer, we presume A L Roberts.
who has served in that position 50 accept
ably for the past year, will be continued
We have heard %" 'ns else spoken Of.
N T Dill and ID. Ii. Bates are men
toned for cit, clerk. Either of the gen
tlemen will be acceptable to the commu-
nifty.
Frank McGray is urged BY his friends
in the FIRST Warl for Supervisor. with
no apparent opposition. A better man
can not be selected. M.ssrs. O. G. Hot
lister. N S. Dunbar, j. II Southwick
and II. A. Jay are being canvassed for
the position of alderman.
In the Second aud Third Wards the
oil officers for supervisors anu aldermen
vii probably lie re nominated aud elect
ed without opposition.
The San Domingo ANNEXATION. Al
ALBANIA claims. nor Summers removal, we
believe. will enter into the controversy
sufficiently to change the complexion of
our com non council politically or 18th er
wise. Thetemperance Question is pretty
well settled aud will not DO made lend
lug ls>ue. But the subject Of taxes, IN all
its bearings on individuals aud the com
munity. agiiales the pubic mind some
~Lat, and will have an Influence in the
selection of candidates for office. As
