City Election.

The City Council has taken the nec-
essary steps to the holding of an cleo
ton for municipal officers in May.
Four wards have been made, to elect
seven councilmen and a mayor.
Ward No. is bounded by Grammont
and jackson streets, the lower line of
the city and the river. Elects one
councilman.
Ward 2, beginning at Jackson, is
bounded by Grammont to it's terminus,
by Young's bayou, and by the lower
line of the corporation as far back as
Jackson. Elects two councilmen.
Ward corners southwest on the
river, at the intersection of Grammont,
goes up the river to Jefferson, out JEFF
ferson to Fifth, up Fifth to Wash
ington, out Washington to Young's
bayou, down Young's bayou to Gram
mont, and then up Grammont to the
place of beginning. Elects two coun-
cilmen. This ward includes nearly
all of Guinea. Jefferson street is the
railroad street,
Ward is bounded west by the river,
north by the upper line of the city,
east by Young's bayou, and south by
Washington to the intersection Of
Fifth, and by Fifth to Jefferson and by
Jefferson back to the river. Elects two
councilmen.
We fervently hope that the good
people Of this city will register to a
man, put ticket in the field that will
command respect and support, and
that on the day of the election they
will spare no exertions to give Monroe
a municipal government creditable
alike to themselves and to the place in
which they live. If they do not, upon
their own heads the blame must rest.
However dire the consequences here
after may be, of bad government, no
man can honestly complain who does
not 'e0so his whole duty.

Civil Rights.

item:
NIcssrs. Charles II. Gutenberg and T..
Norris Chester, have filed a petition in
the Fourth District Court for Charles
Lewis under the civil rights bill. Mr..
Lewis is Il coIorcd man and complains
that on account of his color he was re-
fused a glass of soda, in violation of
law by an employee of McCloskey's
saloon, No. 76 st. Charles street, and
suffered damages in reputation and
feeling to the amount of $500. The
defendant willingly sold cake to the
plaintiff, but when he called for soda
water to wash it down with it was
refused.

The Mails.

The U. S. Mails came through Tues
day night day behind and about as
thoroughly saturated with Mississippi
water as the contents of canvass bag
could be. The explanation is, that the
sacks were brought over the railroad
on a hand-car, for II miles, where the
water rose in places to about two feet
above the floor of the hand-car.
Our exchanges were literally drench-
ed, and in many instances whole pack
ages of papers came to this post-office
that had to be thrown away, because
the address was gone. Even the stamps
on some of the letters were not to be
found.
We presume the arrangement will
improve, as canoes have been placed
in the overlooked portion of the road.

district of the city, in which cases
Cobb & Gunby filed an exception call
ing in question the right of the Gov
ernor to appoint Mayor of Monroe
under the express provisions of the
charter declaring that vacancies should
be filled by election, Judge Ray, after
deliberation, overruled the exception,
and the cases will now proceed upon
their merits, with, in any event, the
likelihood of an appeal to the Supreme
Court. We presume the Legislature
failed to explain its meaning in enact
ing the city charter.
To raise funds for the benefit of the
Jewish Synagogue, which will be pub
licly dedicated on the 9Th of May, the
new lodge Merriam, of the order Bnai
Berth, will give grand ball on the
18th of May, with supper. The
Nicksburg string band will furnish
music for the occasion. A programme
will be published in due time. Tickets
are for sale at most of the stores in
town. We have no doubt, from the
efforts our young Isrelitish friends are
making, that the ball will be a splendid
affair.
