Snulsbury For Governor.

William Salisbury, Of the D9lawareau,
has been spoken OF by some Of his friends
as suitable Democratic candidate for
Governor He is represented to be popular
In Kent county and well qualified to dis
charge the duties Of the Office. With II
certain GLASS of DemoGllt it is an thing
to beat Colonel Ford, and yet these parti-
sans find 1t very difficult to unite on any
one who can do it. Nearly every avail
able man has been discussed, and yet no
one willing to accept the nomination has
been united on. The Convention is only II
week off, and whatever is to be done must
be done quickly. Tie friends OF Colonel
Ford are very active and snugune Of sue.
cess They say their opponents dare not
throw him overheard, and they might
just Us well submit first Us last We con-
graduate them on their pluck. Their
chance Is now or never, Us conditions may
be materially changed four years hence,
although the Democrats may again be in
luck, as it now looks II, though the rcgu-
lar Republicans win hardly get through
with the burial OF Mr.. Aldicks by that
time Until that work shall be completed
there will be no time for anything else,
and Democratic nominations in our State
may be equivalent to elections.

ENGLAND'S METROPOLIS.
Tendon as 1t Was In the Earliest Days Of
Its Existence,

~|NNb'S'A>s'
We first hear of London in any i'm.
portant sense as city Of Roman Brit
ain The incoming of the Saxon con
querors is followed by nearly 200 years
OF unbrokcn silence, and it is this long
period which has caused some historians
to assume, rather than prove, that Ro-
man London had altogether ceased to
exist. But when the light Of history is
again shed upon this part Of the newly
made England there is much to show
that London had, to Il large extent, pre-
served her Independence as place of
commerce and civic organization. Tho
Saxon settlements appear all round her,
and perhaps the little village Of Char
ing, within u mile of her walls, affords
the most significant testimony to tie
Saxon settlements round London rather
than i'll London.
Ihe saxon conqucrors appear as pollt-
lcal masters CT London and introduced
into her municipal life the folkmoot,

when the common people" over aud
over again asserted their right to take
part ill the municipal elections and

settlements round London and the pc
litical lordehip over London do not APP
pear to have made London Saxon city
and its municipal Institutions Ct Saxon
origin. The lex merc0tcria of Roman
London seems never to have quite died
out
In the court Of the merchants there
were always professional lawyers, and
perhaps the most remarkable survival of
Roman institutions in Britain is the
practice Of tie old order Of serg2ants at
law, who assembled III the navo of the
Old st, Paul $ cathedral, each sergeant
having teen allotted Il special pillar i'll
the cathedral at disappointment, whore
he met his clients i'll legal consultation,
hearing the facts CT the case taking
notes Of the evidence Or pacing up and
down. This is the exact parallel to tho
assembling of the Roman jurisperiti at
early morn In the forum to consult with
their clients and cannot be explained
