having been entertained as to whether a Com

at the coming election, Major George Dutey,
Commissioner for this city has had a correspon-
dence with the Attorney Generals Office, at
Richmond, and has learned that the law pro-
yiding for the election of such officers at that
time has no application to cities. This Will
