COMMISSIONERS OF REvENUE.-Much doubt

va
having been entertained as to whether a Com
missioner of Revenue is to be voted for 10 cities
at the coming election, Major George Dutey,
Commissioner for this city has had a correspon'
dence with the Attorney Generals othce' at

viding for the election of such officers at that
time has no application to cities. This Will
obviate the necessity of voting for a Commis-
sioner at the primary election to be held by the
Conservatives in this city.
