- The present Board of Council

- The present Board of Council
men, who have been in Office for two
years, retire on next Saturday and
turn over the Corporation archives to
their successors, who are to be in
stalled on next Monday. 1t is an old
and trite saying, that it is poor speci
men of the canine race, who does not
wag his own caudal appendage. At
the risk of being partly considered in
that fix, this Editor, wishing to rem
der unto Caesar the just dues and mer-
its of Cesar, makes bold to state and
place on record, that Alexandria may
live many year and fare worse with
better Boards. These Councilmen
found the Town in debt, now hand
her over modest and blushing out of
debt, with few greenbacks as a start.
They have kept the streets in good fix
and repair, built a fine ard serviceable
wharf III the classic Second; paid lIber-
ally towards the Fire Company's wants,
ushered into existence and paid for in
toto the Hook and Ladder fixtures:
kept in repairs the lower Town wharf,
in fact 'did every thing that had to be
did," and all this without any tax on
the people of the Corporation. Be
sides built and kept a great many
Corporation bridges and all the ditch
es in constant repair.
This much we owe to our late con-
frcres and the canse of truth and JUS
tice, and we cheerfully hope and trust
that their illustrious successors will
follow the good example and do like
wise.

u We observe that the Democrats
and Liberals of the Missouri Legisla-
ture have nominated Colonel Louis V.
Bo|y for United States Senator to sue
coed General F. p. Blair, Jr. Colonel
Bosy is a member of an old Creole
family aud will be the first native Mis-
sourian ever elected to the office. He
has been prominent in the State for
thirty years as politician, capitalist
and financier. Though an old line
Democrat lie was a Union man duriD 9
the war and was appointed United
States Commissioner of Indian Affairs
by President johnson. In 1852 he was
the anti Benton Democratic candidate
for Congress against Colonel Benton
himself and was defeated. The first
time old Bullion ever alluded to his
competitor was as follows: 'my oppo-
nent says that he is Frenchman and
calls himself Bojce. 1t is not true, Sir.
! knew his father thirty years ago;
he was Scotchman and his name was

General Blair having recently been
paralysed, it is understood that his de-
feat was owing to the precarious con-
dition Of his health, and not to any
want of confidence on the part of the
people of Missouri.

Durell.

The Hon. W. D. Kelly, one of the
leaders of the Radical party in Con-
gress, has offered a resolution in the
House of Representatives enquirlng
whether Judge Durell had not exceed
ed his judicial authority in the Louis
lana election matter, and if so to bring
in articles ofimpeachment against him.
The resolution was unanimously re-
ferred to the judiciary committee.
An investigation into this mans con-
duct is imperatively demanded, and we
are glad to see that somebody has taken
hold of the matter. We have no doubt
that the Committee can find crimes
enough committed by him under the
forms of law to impeach him, and an
impartial trial, if one could be had,
would certainly lead to his conviction.
The outrage perpetrated on the rights
of the people of Louisiana is of itself
sufficient for the purpose. Add to
this his bad habits and notorious in
competency, which has been alluded to
more than once by the Supreme Court
10 reviewing his decisions. Besides,

tant cases, and the reasons for them,
might he looked into with profit. SO

PINCuBACN's Observation-Disclosures
THE ADMINISTRATIONS b. 5. Pinch
back has been elected by the Gayonet
Legislature United States Senator for
six years from the 18th of March next in
place of Hon. VIM. p. Kellogg. This
has been foreshadowcd ever since the
Radical Legislature met and it was dis
covered that the negroes controlled it..
As soon as they discovered that they
could get along without the white seal
awags and carpet-haggers they did not
hesitate to throw them overheard.
This is severe blow to Kellogg and
to Grant. After canvassing between
the claims of Norton, Packard and bro
ther-iu law Casey, it was finally deter
mined in caucus that Kellosg's mantle
should fall on the distinguished assig-
nee in bankruptcy. But Pinch left the
assignee far out of sight in the race.
1t is limited that Pinchback will not
be received in Washington. 1t is very
evident that Grant is already ashamed
Of his haste in recognizing him as Gov
ernor; and it seems pretty certain that
the Radical Senate will not Initiate his
example. In fact, so strong is popular
sentiment setting in favor of the legal
government in Louisiana, that we do
not think there will be any difficulty
in seating the Senator elected by the
Peoples Legislature, The election Of
Piuchback has added immensely to the
chances of such an event.

Accident.

Last Saturday afternoon, Eddie, oldest
son of Mr.. F. P. Brook, met with an acct
dent which came very near proving fatal.
Young Brook and two or three other bows
were riding through the streets n the de-
livery wagon Of F. P. Brook 4 Co., in a
standing position, and the driver starting
up the horse suddenly the boys lost their
balance and fell over backwards, Eddie
striking Oh his head and one of the Boys
falling heavily upon him. The conclusion
was terrible, but young Brook was able to
walk home; arriving there however, he
was taken with spasms and vomiting, part
ly the result of an overcharged stomach.
For time his case was most critical, and
serious apprehensions were felt for his re-
covery. Good medical attention from Dr..
NJ. N. Barber, and the best of care brought
him successfully through the crisis, and the
boy is now all right again. This accident
so near resulting serious, should be warn
ing to boys who are in the habit of standing
up in wagons while underway. 1t is a
most dangerous amusement, and many fatal
effects occur from its practice.

be finished by October next will be one
hundred feet by fifty. The necessity of a
new College in Watertown has long been
the subject of comment and anxious interest
of many of its citizens. Measures have
now been taken to supply this want, and
In comparatively short time, WATERFOWL
