As the eity election will soon be here It behooves our citizens to look around and select men who will when elected have the Interests of tlie city at heart good. common sense business men who will con duct the business of the people as they would their own. The city need a Coun cil composed of liberal, progressive men who will see that our sf reets, alleys, side walks, etc.. are not neglected, and at the same time will not be too prodigal In tlie use ot tin people's money. Our outgoing Mayor, as we have before said, made a most excellent officer, and we are sorry (hat tvec-in not have his services far at least another term ; for when we get a good officer It Is well enough to press him Into tlie service as long as he can be kept there . with his own consent. One man held tlie position of -Mayor ot Providence. R. I., for sixteen consecutive terms, and would have been nenlti honored with the position had he not positively declined Ettt as Mavor Chirk can not serve again. as li expects to be absenf oiuch1 of the time during "the coming year, we 'must fill his place with another. V There are a number of citizens who would grace the position, all of whom, however, after br ing .interviewed, as we are informed. positively refuse to serve. Among tlie names mentioned is tlat of Judge Black burn, a man specially qualified, by his legal attainments, good solid Judgment, and an uiitimitel amount of nerve to stand for his conrktons of rlj-ht, to fiil the people. The Judge will doubtless objict to receiving tlie r,omlnatlotit but as a gotid. loyal citizen lie sliould not ortjit when his services are demanded. As to the pBtee 'oL Recorder s Tlie present In- cttmpent desires to be reelected, and we ran say that our greatest objection to him Is that lie belongs to tbe party of iion-pro- gresston a pnrty tlwt lias always stood In the way ot every iiuportaut measure calculated to Improve our country and better the condition of the poor of this Nation. Mr. Halter Intends to do. tlie fair tiling, and ho has attended to his dit ties during the term of office now about closed, faithfully, and If tlie Republicans can not pat up a better man, we shall not grieve to any alarming extent If lie socce d himself. But we do not wish to be eon sldered as acknowledging for a moment that we have not In toe Republican ranks men who would not fill the office with equal honesty and capability. But tt is a fact that we sometime tail to pat our best men forward, because of an unwill ingness, sometimes, on tbe part of suitable candidates to jooaoe to the front. We nave no reason to complain of such a state of aSalrsjin this occasion, as there are sever al gentlemen, well -qua! nee to nil toe office, 'who have expressed themselves ; willing to serve It nominated and elected. A i none the nanus wo have beard men tioned re Jtylge Hewitt, J. H . aluin. J V. r JoUa Jlanooo,. N. J. Henton. and . titers may be still others. Judge Hewitt is a lawyer and bo one doubts hit qtiali fixa tions."'". U. Maine was elected Justice of the Peace for East Albany product at the June election, and too well known to need suy comment from us. John Uanuon has resided I .ere from his youtli. up, and there fore Is well known to all. John fa not en joying the best of health, we are !:. farmed, and is therefore lncapaeiued tor doing lahorlcW and oahtinoons wirk. N. J.

This being the case, and as Mr. Hnnt is a candidate for re-election, there possibly will be no serious opposition to bis nom ination in the Republican. CouventlMi. As to the Treasurer we are not prepared to say whether Frank Redfleld Is a can didate for re-election or not. One thine we know is that he has made a eood officer, and we Suppose if he desires tt he may ob tain the nomination, although we have heard hi name mentioned in connection with the office of Councilman from the First Ward, lie will fill the bill in either position. We have heard tlie names of several eetitlemen named In connection with the office ot Cooiictlmen. but as tins matter has not been as thoroughly canvass ed as that ot the city officers, we refrain from mention. If the Republican party wish to sneered it must put up its best men. The general leeiing seems to oe. we want com!, active, business men in the City Council honest men, of good sound judgment, who will do the square thing tor our citiaens.reganlless ot political bias. And thU being the feeling we ttitist put the best men on our ticket. "hab-aanawlty. A Chinaman named Ah King, who hung up at the new store of Qnong Sing & Co., on Ferry between Second and Third streets. had been sick for some time.' and drring - oniuroay nigtit lie was chitsvcu- w n VK tr . t t . . . i . t pen lii the rear of the building on the alley below First street on Ferry, ard placed therein. As to be expected, he died early the next morning. Tbe Coroner being informed of the matter summoned a jury, a postmortem was made by Drs. Savage and Hill, and firm the testimony of these physicians tlie jury rendered a verdict that the Chinaman Ah-King came to his death from dropsy of the henrt, his death being hastened by the exposure of Saturday night. The evidence before the Jury was so conflicting that we -do not know wlietlier the deceased vra furnished with a suffi ciency ot blankets to keep him from freez ing or not, some, of the witnesses testify ing that he ws left withont any covering. and others that he lutd plenty. Young Tao. a Chinaman who has been working at City MMls. was arrested for removing the Chinaman and placing him in the p'g- pen Saturday night, on the charge of man slaughter, and after a hearing before the City Recorder, was bound over In $250 to answer. Whetlier any more arrests will grow out of tlie matter remains to be seen. Tlie Shooslna; S Mnlsejr. On Friday last, at Halsey In this county. a boy named Thompson, aged about 15, shot at Mr. W. II. Gaston, under the fol lowing clrcumstnnees, as related to us : Yontig Thompson hail been attending the district school over which Mr. Gaston pre sided as teaclier. It seems that his conduct h:id been of such a nature that Mr. Gaston could not tolerate, anil therefore on the flay in qi estiitn expelled him from tlie school. Mr. Giton handed Thompson hi books and fold him to take his departure ; T homn. in moved a tew steps i toward tlie door, di ew a pistol, turned and tired at Mr. Gaston. Some one standing near Thompson struck his arm down, and the ball Intended for Gaston entered the floor of the school room. Mr. Gfon Immedi ately seized hold of young Thompson, and succeeded In holding him until the appear ance of an officer, hut i-ot before Thompson struck him in the five once or twice with the revolver, bruising, his features consid erably. Young Thompson h:id an ex amination tlve next day. and was held to answer in the tW sum of $300. which lie gave and was released from custody. Apologetic. We really owe Ur.cle Sam" postal boys an apology, and we now make it. We ordered some colored paper, and alonir with the ret came some deep blue. Well, as it Is a color no one wants hills printed on. we concluded to tie it for wrapping up our mail, and the route agents inform us that they have difficulty in reading. in the dimly lighted cr. the directions on these wrappers, wen. we promise you we will discontinue the use of blue paper for wrapper-1, for we know that post masters and route agents have trouble enough when, tlie directions on papers and tetters are not plainly written, without oar adding to them.

Minutes of Jut meeting read and ap proved. Bills presented at last meeting were or dered paid. Committee on Health and police asked and were granted farther time in the matter ot tlie overflow of the ditch near McMeekiu's. Scott, as chairman of committee of the whole, to whom was referred the matter of tbe caving in wf the river bank at the Cheadle mill, presented a reKrt recom ccdiug that the Marshal be instructed to allow all kinds of cleanly rubbish to be thrown into the hole. Adopted. .. The committee asked fuMhur time in re gard to the matter of lieu against, tlie U. P. Church. Mr. Foster asked leave to make a prop ositi on to the Council, and was allowed to do so under the head ct "new bushies.' Petition of E.

Mr. Ftwter xtate.d that the Albany Water Works would -et up hydrants lit different part of the city whr-re most needed for the prevention of tire, etc., for the sum of from $300 tu $1,000 prr annum ; a.d suggest, d that, as with the present tax, there nil! lie no money to pay for such service, the Council submit to the voter at the coming election whether the extra one mill tax, allowed by tbe Charter on such vote, shall be assessed. The tax now is five mills, and the Charter provides that if the legal voters of the city order It, tlie Council may assess a six mill tax. it is uudei tocd, of course, that the extra mill is to be used solely and only tor the purpose ot furnishing water for fire purposes.

NABKOW CJArCE. , , Bkownsville-on-the Calipooia. 1 Nov. 24, 1830. $ To the Editob of the Rl&istek : Last week ice formed very thick for this part ot the country. W. C. Cooley, eldest son of Geo. Cooley. was married to Miss Callie Sawyer last week, and I omitted to state in letter last week that Doll Brusha and Miss Emma Irving were married the week before. Rumor says flint several more young peo ple w il: soon enter upon the great ocean of matrimony. The mill is still sawing out ties and they are delivering them along tlie read bed. Last night J. B. Montgomery, Esq., chief contractor of the narrow gauge, in company with Col. Wheat, arrived in tewn. The track is now across the south Saiitiam river, and will undoubtedly reach this city iu two weeks from this date. By t he sudden rise in wheat In Chicago it bt-gins to look as if there must soon be a reaction in pi ices here, aud we are all very impatient to see this much desired thing take place. Last night was tlie night appointed for tlie Blue Ribbon Club to meet, and there was a splendid programme gotteu up by the Excutive Committee. There was a full house, and Rev. Mr. Handsaker delivered a short but telling address on the' subject of temperance ; but towards the latter part of tlie entertainment tbe hoodlu ja elemeut began to show itself, and required prompt action on the part of tlie President to have the entire programme performed. Last Friday night we came near having a great conflagration that, once started. would have wiped out nearly the entire business part of our little city.- The furniture shop had a sheetiron stove, and it set trie floor on fire and bunted quite a large hole in tlie floor, and nothing but a lack ot wind to fan it into a vigorous fl-tme prevented It from getting a start be fore morning, when it was easily extin guisfied. It this had once got underhead- way the new buildings and most ot our business houses would have gone. The city marshal has visited every house in our city since, and every precaution is being taken to prevent any more such accidents. There is strong tslk of organizing either a fire company or a book and ladder com pany soon. B. it, the rasssla Mill. Mr. C. Klock, ot Wisconsin, recently arrived In our eity. has purchased the Cheadle flouting mill at tlie foot of Broad. albin street, and being a first class miller, will turn out an excellent quality ot flour for all who desire, aa under his con trol it will be almost exclusively a custom mill. Bring on your wheat and get first ctasa nour. Mistake. Among tlie names advertised In the de linquent city tax-list, appears that of James EJkins. This was a uLstake, as Mr. Elklns had paid all taxes due from hhn long foe- fare the advertisement appeared. Dr. W. F. Alexander of this city, was united in marriage to Miss Estella J.
