LouBv1LIE, December G.-An election
Of city officials will occur tomorrow. The
contest for the Mayorality has been more
exciting and harder fought than any pre-.
vious one In which Louisville has ever en-.
gagged, not excepting the old canvasses for
the Presidency when Henry Clay ran. The
most active interest imaginable is mani
tested to-day, and the indications are that
a fearful fight for victory will be made
by the opposing candidates.

Legislative Caucus:

The Market street organ seemi
not to have fully understood th'
object Of the Caucus which il
announced yesterday morning as tc
be held in the Delegate Hall in thu
evening, Some thought that the SLATE
published in the morning was to be tht
subject under consideration and that i
was 10 be manipulated in the laboratory
Of strict party caucus so as to extraC
therefrOm n soothing syrup to quiet The
party nerves now 10 terribly on the rack
1t turned out however to be b meeting il
which all the members Of the Legislature
were entitled to participate, 1t being for
the purpose OF ascertNining the views ol
the members upon the propriety of ex'
tending the session few days in order
to perfect the Legislation now consider
ably advanced.
The gentleman from Jefferson, Mr.. Ma
son, was evidently misled by the DelphiS
character Of the announcement made by
the Market street oracle, and presumed
that nobody but the simon pure had any
rights in the meeting which he was bound
to respect, The effect which the change
Of the moon has upon him was therefore
aggravated by the presence OF the Repub'
lican and Independent members, and, II
possible, he was more idiotic than usual
In his rawlings, and got the whole House
into a regular jangle. As soon as the fit
was of him, and his intense but harm.
less blathering had relieved him, the
propriety Of extending the session was
considered. Senator Dennis was Of the
opinion that the session was fail
ure, that nothing had been accom-
plished and that they might as we'll, like
the Arabs, fold their tents and quietly
steal away. lie was not cOnCurred with
and only succeeded in rousing the wrath
Of those members who ielt that they had
been engaged in the laudable work oi
trying to cleanse the Augean stable, and
who felt that having got the job of the
hands Of the House much good work
could now be accomplished by extending
the session few days, Prince William
was there too, but evidently don't ap'
provo Of extending the session, in fact he
was opposed to II.
William would evidently prefer that
the session, II possible, should fall short
Of its mission, and having announced bis
determination not to be bound by the de-
cision Of the caucus, and with the same
lofty mir which may have characterized
bis ultimatum to the Merchants Bank oi
Charleston, he betook his imperial high
ness into outer darkness, The meeting
resulted in the general conclusion TO ex-
tend the session fourteen days, and prob
ably forcShadowed the formal acceptance
Of the programme by both branches with.

rule or ruin clique that revels in corrup

himself to Office, or somo of his asso-

A Trip to GraenyilIe.

Dear Ncios
A few words Of the up-country will
not be unacceptable to your readers.
On Saturday last we boarded the train
at Columbia, and in short time there
after was being rapidly whirled towards
our destination-the city at the foot
Of the mountains. This was our first
trip to Greenville since the war, and as
the train darted along, annihilating dis
tance at about twenty miles an hour,
we medi.ated slowly but deliberately
over tho changes which have been
wrought within the past fifteen years;
changes viii ch plead eloquently for n
more progressive, liberal and enlighten-
ed policy in our government, and fore
nhadowing the dawn of better day Tor
the working men of this country
AS the iron horse sped its way along, We
could not help from observing the great
changes and improvements which have
been made in the road bed and running
gear of this line since it has been under
the management of that veteran Of rail
roads, Col. Dodamead. When he as
sumed control of it, the Grcenville
railroad was miserable apology for
what it should have been long before
that time. But Col Dodamead being
tull Of pluck and energy, and having an
intimate knowledge Of railroad matters,
las succeeded in raising it from doubt
full and non-paying existence, and plac
ing it upon par with our most pros
porous and paying railroads. He was
liberal in loaning the Company money,
with which to improve their rollin ng
stock, and to day road that did not pay
before Col Dodamead took it in charge
make sufficient to meet its expenses,
now pays handsome dividends to stock
holders.
It is now really pleasure to tako
trip to Greenville, and especially is it so
when it falls to one's good luck to be
under the care and charge of Capt.
Isaacs This gentleman has grown
gray in the service of the Company and
his fine manly appearance, enhanced
by his courteous and careful attentions
to passengers, conspire to make the
~ayclling public wish that he may con
