The Republican nominees for Wardens,
Clerks and Constables were elected in Wards 1,
8, 8, and z, and the Democratic in Wards Q
and by about the same vote as other officers.
The next city council will be composed of 5
Republican and Democratic Alderman and
10 Republican and Democratic Councilman
Republican gain of two.
For this most gratifying result, the credit is
due to the GOOD sense and intelligence of the
Republican voters, who saw the necessity of
rescuiDg the city from the reckless rule of the
Democracy; but too great praise cannot be
awarded to the Republican City Committee for
their zeal, discretion and arduous toll in per-
fectiIg the splendid organization. Stephen r.
Small, Esq, chairman of the Committee, has
been most persevering and efficient, and the
result indicates Lis rare ability in so arduous
and delicate position. No less credit is due
to the members of the respective wards for the
hearty cooperation they have afforded.
The rank and file never came up with greater
enthusiasm. All of the ward rooms were full
of veterans and young men, eager to help on
the work. Men sick at home sent for teams to
take them to the polls. The Democracy found
the evening more enjoyable at home than in
the streets, which were thronged with jubilaut
Republicans.

It is with pleasure that we call our readers
attention to the advertisement of MIR. Patten,
lately well known in our city as the expert ac-
countant in the Bank of Portland case. This
of itself, considering its entan clements as re-
CARDS the accounts kept, and the confusion to
which the public had been brought by the state
of the books at the time of their first coming
into possession of the investigating committee,
would, by the evidence So clearly given by him,
show his ability as an expert. Iu addition, we
desire to add the fact of his having been to our
personal knowledge regularly schooled &C
countant, and man long accustomed to inves-
tigating the circumstances of those wanting
credit, and also of effecting settlements with
those not deserving further credit. Mr.. Patten
has an extensive acquaintance among the Com
mercial street merchants, who consider him
without a superor
