HHE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE AND
l. VIRGINIA ADVERTISEk will soon eel
brate its centennial year. More than three
quarters of . century ago 1t grew into lie ere
alton of wants and needs OF the people OF thls
section of Virginia.
During all this period its prominent object mas
been TO advance the interests OF the people OF
whose life it is the daily chronicle Its fortunes
have been their fortunes; 1t has shared their
prosperity and suffered in their disasters, Its
inspiration has been the desire to forward the
beet interests of the community In which 1t Is
located, and its own prosperity is, as 1t has been
purposely made, inseparable from that Of the
community it aims to represent when they
grow rich it hopes for reward commensurate
with its labors. While they are poor it expects
make their success the measure OF It's own.
The past of the Gazette is offered rs an index
of its future. It has never failed to avail itself
promptly of all the improvements winch como
with the greater growth and more extended e x;
FEATURES will be added.
THE GAZETTE MEANS TO BE THE
NEWSPAPER OF VIRGINIA. 1t will fur
nish daily complete account, with supernultles
only Topped away, OF all the current news OF the
world.
AS the interests of the people mainly centre at
homo, no pains will be spared to chronicle all
matters occurring in the city and neighborhood,
carefully excluding unseemly expl esslons or
gross narrative rs unfit for u journal that Il
treasured at many thousand hearthstones OF
Virginia.
Especial attention will be devoted TO present.
ing, as we'll from: original sources of information
as from its exchanges, the news OF Virginia, es-
pecislly such as relate to tho development OF the
resources of the State.
Its contiguity, to Washington gives the Ga
zotte an early precedence over all the Journals
Of the State in intelligence of the operations OF
the General Government, now OF such vital I'M
portance to the people of the South. The pro-
ceedings OF Congress, seldom so Interesting as
now, will be regularly reported in succlnct form
for its columns, but all matters of especial inter
EST in Virginia will be given in detail, and the
full text Of sli bills of local interest will given.
From the State Capital it will receive early
and accurate accounts of the proceedings of the
General Assembly and of all the operations OF
the State government likely to interest the poo
Pile.
In its Commercial columns the especial fea-
ture will be promptness and accuracy. The
iarmors, drovers and commercial people of tie
State know they MAY DEPEND upon the
Gazette.
Early and reliable reports of The Grain, Cattle,
Grocery and other Markets will be furnished,
and the prices ana position Of the stocks, which
are the subjects of business transactions IN this
ection of the country, carefully quoted.
The continual tavors of those who have once
used the Gazette as an advertising medium is u
warrant for saying that it pays to advertise in its
columns. Never before did it pay so we'll to tell
the public what is for sale

qualifications was SO unanimous and SO
decided. We, therefore, ceased to insist
upon anything beyond thorough scru-
tiny into his fitness, willing that he
should be elected if no blot could be
found upon his record. We have been un-
able to find scintilla of proof that he has
not discharged the duties of his Office with
fairness, intelligence and ability. We have,
therefore, no grounds for saying q single
word in disparagement of his claims to an
election now that the nomination has been
made. We were only anxious that
Mr.. Calvin, who was nero APP
pointee of the Board of Supervis-
ors to fill vacancy, should not be
elected to the Office by the people without
proper inquiry into his fitness. Our own
special inquiries satisfied us that the oppo-
sition to him had no tangible foundation,
and we cheerfully acquiesce in his nomina-
ton. OF the other candidates we will say
nothing, for we can say nothing favorable.
We only hope that they may not weaken the
really excellent names with which they are
associated.
The New York herald., 1876-10-20

The WEATHER. Gulf hurricane and a
storm in the West are the chief meteorologi-
cal items of interest that will engage atten-
ton during the next few days. Both of
these storms have been duly predicted in the
HERALD, as we have been noticing their ap-
proach for several days. The hurricane in
the Gulf is now moving with great energy
northwestward over Cuba from the Car
ribean Sea, and will doubtless be severely
felt along our Atlantic coast as far to the
north as Cape Hatteras. The storm rim had
already reached Key West on yesterday
morning, where the barometer fell to 1857
inches and the velocity of the wind rose to
forty -four miles an hour. From tho wind
direction, which was then northeasterly, we
Judge that the storm centre was somewhere in
the vicinity of Jamaica, or perhaps between
that island and eastern Cuba. Heavy rains
prevail oil over the Western country north
of Cairo, and will cause rapid rise in all
the rivers of the Mississippi basin. As pre-
dicted in yesterdays HERALD, we shall cx-
perience this storm during the next two or
three days.

Tho Democratic City Nomina tions

Tho Democratic City Nominations.
The local Democratic Convention, held
yesterday afternoon, does not disappont
previous expectation. Mr. Smith Ely, Jr.,
wns nominated for the Mayoralty and the
city democracy is to be congratulated that,
among the many excellent names suggested,
it had one of such singular and pre-em-
inent merit. Mr.. Ely is the peer of
Mr. Agnew, Mr.. Royal Phelps or Mr..
Kane on the grounds on which they are
strong and he has the additional advantage
of being thoroughly and intimately CONVEX
SAINT with city affairs. He long ago took the
measure of oil the leading politicians of the
city he knows their character, understands
their relation to one another and to schemes
for spending public money for private ad-
vantage, and is better qualified than any
other thoroughly honest man in the city for
circumventing their corrupt projects. 1t
is nomination fit to be made, and
which public opinion will heartily indorse.
No opposition to it has any chance of sue
cess 1t substantially unites the democratic
party of the city and materially strengthens
its State and national tickets. 1t puts an
end TO oil hopes of successful coalition
between disaffected democrats of the city
and the republicans. Mr.. Smith Ely, Jr.,
is ms certain to be our next Mayor as the sun
is TO rise on the 7th of November. 1t is for
tunate for the democratic party that it has,
in this crisis, candidate 50 perfectly fitted
to meet every requirement of the situation.
Ofthe other nominations, that of Mr.. CAL
vim for Surrogate is the only one on which
we desire to make any remarks We were
Mt first led to distrust him, but MS his
opponents failed to make any definite
objection to his fitness VIC began to
suspect that there was no solid
ground of opposition. Taking great
interest in having this important Office we'll
filled, we suggested some excellent names,
taking especial care to say nothing impugn-
ing tho integrity or capacity Of Mr.. Calvin.
Within tho last few days we have made in
quiries of impartial lawyers competent to
Judge, and were surprised and gratifed to
find that their Endorsement Of Mr.. Calyins
