Election of Aldermen by their respective Wards, &c.
The city election of this year was held in accordance with the provisions of an act then pending in the Legislature, au- thorizing the election of two Aldermen for each Ward by the voters of their respective wards alone. After the elec- tion, an act was passed making it legitimate. The election was held, as usual, on the first Saturday in January, and the most influential question at issue was the ratification of the city's second subscription to the stock of the Mobile and Girard Railroad. Dr. John E. Bacon, the successful candi- date for Mayor, had published a card in which he announced that he would not sign the bonds until satisfied that a major- ity of the people approved the subscription. The vote for Mayor stood-Bacon 469, Morton 303. The following gen- tlemen were elected Aldermen: 1st Ward, Harvey Hall, E. H. Musgrove; 2d, J. T. Coleman, Wm. Perry; 3d, T. M. Ho- gan, Thos. K. Wynne; 4th, George I. Pitts, Wm. Daniel; 5th, Joseph Thomas, John Quin ; 6th, J. A. Vrooman, H. J. Devon. Marshal, George Gullen; Deputy Marshal, John F. Cleghorn; Clerk, Calvin Stratton ; Treasurer, J. L. Howell ; Sexton, Thos. Nix.

The Treasurer's report showed the total receipts of 1853, $27,096 69, disbursements $24,442 15.
Wm. Holly was in February elected Magazine-keeper, vice John Whitesides, resigned.
The assessors reported the value of real estate in the city this year, $1,894,200.
A tragedy, which caused great excitement in the city, oc- curred on the 27th of February. Alex. M. Robinson, Deputy Sheriff, attempted to arrest David Wright, jr., and Jack Boyd for disorderly conduct, and Wright, as soon as the offi- cer tapped him on the shoulder, turned quickly and shot Robinson with a pistol. Robinson was conveyed into the Times office, and died in a few minutes. Wright and Boyd ran, and were pursued by the city watch and citizens, the watch firing at them several times. Wright was quickly overtaken and brought back; and Boyd was arrested the next day. They were committed to jail. The citizens held an indignation meeting, but did not attempt to take the exe- cution of the law into their own hands. At the August term of the Superior Court, Boyd was found guilty as princi- pal in the second degree in the murder of Robinson, but re- commended to the mercy of the Court. The Court, however sentenced him to be hung on the 27th of September, and his

counsel took an appeal. The case of Wright was continued. On the 24th of October Wright escaped from jail, in com- pany with a negro prisoner. The escape was effected by means of a file or saw furnished from without, with which Wright first released himself from his shackles. With a false key he opened the door of his cell, and emerged into the passage. Here the negro man was confined. The two took off the cell door, and with it as a lever the bars of the window were forced apart so as to allow them to escape from the building. A reward of $500 was offered by the Sheriff, and $100 by the Governor, for the re-capture of Wright. He was re-arrested in December in the neighborhood of St. Andrews Bay, Fla., but not without a determined resistance. Mr. Robt. T. Simons ascertained his whereabouts and under- took his arrest. He was accompanied by the Sheriff of Walton county, Florida. Wright fired at both Simons and the Sheriff, wounding the latter in the thigh. Wright was slightly wounded in the face. After several shots had been exchanged Wright surrendered, and was brought back and recommitted to jail on the 30th of December. He was found guilty of murder and sentenced to be hung in September, 1855; but on the night of the 4th of August he set fire to his cell and perished by suffocation. It was supposed that his intention was to escape while the citizens were extinguish- ing the fire. The flames were extinguished without much damage to the building.
Boyd was first respited by the Governor, and afterwards pardoned by act of the Legislature.
Much correspondence passed this year between the Coun- cil and the officers of the Montgomery and West Point Rail- road Company on the subject of a location within the city of a depot for that road, and the bringing of it into the city by a bridge across the river. Propositions were made and re- jected on both sides. In July, a committee of. Council re- ported a proposition and an unsigned contract for the loca- tion of the depot on the North common, north of the square

between Oglethorpe and Troup steets, the city also granting the right of way and the privilege to build a railroad bridge, but prohibiting a close connection with any other railroad in the city. This contract was approved by Council, but the Railroad Company declined to accept it unless the city would subscribe $50,000 to the stock of the company.
In October, the Mobile and Girard Railroad Company, through its President, Judge Iverson, again asked the city for an additional subscription of $150,000 to the capital stock of that company. Council resolved to submit the question to a vote of the people ; also, at the same time, the question of subscribing $50,000 to the stock of the Montgomery and West Point Railroad Company, so as to secure the bringing of that road and its depot into the city. The subscription to the Mobile and Girard road to be in lieu of the subscription of the same amount voted by the Council of 1853. This
election was held on the 4th of December, and resulted as follows: For the Opelika Branch Road subscription, 411, no subscription, 24; for the Mobile and Girard Railroad sub- scription, 397, no subscription, 35. Council adopted ordi- nances authorizing these subscriptions on the same day.
A large public meeting of citizens, held on the 13th of September, requested Council to subscribe $100,000 to aid in the construction of a branch of the Mobile and Girard Rail-
1 road to Eufaula, if joined by a sufficient subscription from Eufaula and along the line of the proposed road. The In- tendant of Eufaula replied to the Columbus committee who addressed him on this subject, that the people of Eufaula were intent on a more direct communication with Savannah G (only quite recently obtained,) and therefore "received with no favor whatever" the Columbus overture. Pretty plain language, but no doubt true.
Ex-President Fillmore and Hon. John P. Kennedy, his Secretary of the Navy, visited Columbus in April, and re- ceived a cordial reception, with the hospitalities of the city. The bill of expense was $1,007.10, of which $728.10 was

paid by Council, the balance by the sale of tickets to a soiree.
The extensive "Variety Works" of Wm. H. Brooks & Co., on the river near the Palace Mills, were destroyed by fire on the 24th of July. The Palace Mills and Eagle Fac- tory were in great danger, but were saved without material damage. The loss by the destruction of the "Variety Works" was estimated at $30,000-no insurance. The next week the Eagle Factory was damaged to the amount of near $1,500 by a stroke of lightning, which fired a large quantity of cotton in the Picking room.

The office of Wharfinger was created in May, and Jacob Barrow elected, at a salary of $700 per annum. Mr. Barrow died in July, and Jos. E. Webster was elected.
