THE MUNICIPAL QUESTION. Communications in reference to the municipal election are pouring io on ns; and we have decided that it will be best to decline publishing any of them, as they would only serve to heighten the excitement now prevail ing. Some of these communications favor while others oppose the Demo cratic nominees now in the field, and we cannot see that their publication will be productive of good. Had we printed in the Stab of to-day the communications we received yester day, we are satisfied that there would have been four times as many offered for our issue of to-morrow. Latest By Mail. Hayes Depreciating:. Special to Richmond Whig. "Washington, March 15, ) 11:45 P. M. The President's appointments since the selection of his Cabinet give little hope to expect an era of reform and I pacification. There seems so far to be no disposition to select any better than the machine politicians who made up the Grant dynasty. Some oi the-last executive appointments indecent aud scandalous, such as rjfetr-Doaglas, to be Marshal for this District, and Tyncr, of Indiana, to be First Assistant Postmaster-General, and Boutwell, of Massachusetts, to revise the statutes of the United Slates. Douglass is an insolent negro, noted for his hatred to the white race. As an oratorical mindelout of the Re publican party Grant was willing to give him something, but he never put him, as Hayes has done, into a posi tion of the highest official responsi bility. An arrangement is to be made by which he is to be kept out of the customary functions of the marshal, in giving introductions at the presi dential levees, but the question is fitly put, "If he is not good enough for this, why should he be forced as au associate on the gentlemen of the bar and many prominent citizens who have business with the United States Marshal?" Bvn the negroes and white Republicans of tire JJistrict ob ject to Douglass' appointment. Tyner as First Assistant Postmas ter General will wield nearly all the important functions of the Depart ment. He appoints all the postmas ters whose names do riot go to the Senate, comprising by far a larger proportion of the whole, and will run the Department. It is said in the Northern States that Mr. Key may . be able to exert some betteftcisEkffiu encein the Southern StateB, but. Ty ler's appointment practically dispels hope of an improvement in this Ncfo of the public service. Tyrier 9 aaehiire poHtieian, and a mere jreate of Senator Morton. Boutin j. n0 lawyer, and, disqual ified in ey,,.y way (or tne important trust he is appointed to discharge of revising the first volume of United States Statutes. The appointment is charmingly illustrative of civil-service reform. After a good deal of discussion, it is finally admitted by the administra tion that an extra session is indispen sable. This is the opinion ot J udge Dunn, who has supplied a good opinion to the Secretary of War,who ought to know the law without being told, and of Mr. Sherman, who has common sense enough to realize that the Government cannot be run with out appropriations. The session will probably be called for June, but the time has not yet been fixed. Mr. Morton has concluded to give up his plaoe as chairman of the com mittee on Privileges and Elections. He will remain on the committee, and will also be chairman ot the commit tee on Foreign Relations. Wadleigh, of New Hampshire, is to be chairman of the committee on Privileges and Elections. The hotels are thronged to-night with the office-seeking crowd, and even Democratic Senators and mem bers are beset by them until they are delighted at the prospect of getting away from the city. I think that as a general rule respectable men will have a slim chance of recognition un der the Hayes dynasty. L. Q. W. Special to Norfolk Landmark. 1 Washington, March 15. Equality and fraternity are exem plified in the appointment of Fred Douglass as Marshal of the District, whose duties at the White House, it is reported, will be dispensed with. Tbere is a good deal of dissatisfaction ou the part of the Radicals at t he pro ceedings of the Cabinet in appoint ments. Colonel Potts has been ap pointed postmaster at Petersburg. Chasseur. Special to Richmond Dispatch. Washington, March 15. Dr. Jorgenseu says the President has appointed D. G. Potts, a Demo cratic friend of General Key, to the postmastership at Petersburg, and will send in the nomination to-morrow. This may be presumed to be correct, as the Doctor has expended mnch valuable time in behalf of his friends, Riely and Young, and the latter bad once the office almost with in his grasp through the intervention of Tyner. Jorgensen appears some what di8gusted,and says he presumes your correspondent likes Hayes' ad ministration as well as if Tildcn were President. MOSBT WANTS TAB BEST HAYES CAN GIVE HIM. Yesterday a letter from Judge Bond landing Colonel J. S. Mosby in high terms, and commending him to the grateful attention of the Presi dent, was picked up in the Senate lobby and banded to a Senator ; so it is not worth while for me to keep se cret any longer the fact that the Col onel now asks of the Government full recognition of the sacrifices he has made for the Republican party. He would prefer to be one of the legal assistants of the new Attorney-General. The few Southern Democratic Se nators who met at Senator Gordon's room last night did not make any formal resolution. Sundry proposi sions were made as to the best course to pursue in view of the new attitude of the administration towards the South, but it was generally agreed that the best thing to do was to let the President pursue his own course without formal suggestions from them, and they shourd get home as soon as practicable. They think it would be indiscreet to press Mr. Hayes to early action in regard to Nicholls or Packard, as every day's delay improves more or less the hold they have upon power in their States, and the President can act with more freedom when the Senate shall have adjourned and left out in the cold Kellogg and Corbin, the representa tives of whatever claim Packard and Chamberlain may have. Father Taft left the city in anger against Hayes for not retaining him in the Cabinet, and as he is known to be opposed to Hayes' Southern poli cy, the President is very uneasy lest he should succeed John Sherman as Senator from Ohio. ' be Herald against Delay. New Yoek, March 15. The Jlerald, in its leading editorial of to-day, headed "Why Does the President Hesitate," says: "From the moment the President makes au ex plicit declaration of his purpose to recognize Governors Nicholls and Hampton, the opposing factions will see that further resistance is vain, and will quietly disband and disperse within six days, and from that time there will be lio pretence of more thau one State government in Loui siana or South Carolina. Delay only feeds false hopes in the rickety or ganizations which cannot stand alone. "Why should they cumber the ad ministration? Why be encouraged to continue a resistance which must necessarily end in disappointment and humiliation.' Raleigh News: It is reported that the negro Dallas , who burned Pittsboro jail, and afterwards broke out of Carthage jail, broke into a store in Ala mance, and afterwards stole some horses. The officers pursued and undertook to ar rest him, when he snapped a stolen gun at the sheriff and then knocked him down with the butt; whereupon an assistant with a Club knocked the negro down, breaking his skull.

We learn that a colored man, living in Fayetteville. who has the reputation of be ing somewhat of a somnambulist, was on his way home from this city, a few nights since, ou a Fayetteville boat, and had dropped to sleep, when he suddenly sprang to his feet, gathered up his bundles, con taining purchases he had made in this city, and walked deliberately overboard before any one had divined his intentions. The night being dark, and the boat moving for ward pretty rapidly, nothing more was seen of the man, and it became the settled con viction among those on board that he had gone to join the goodly number who had previously found a winding sheet in the treacherous waters of the Cape Fear. Great was then astonishment, therefore, upon ap proaching the landing at Fayetteville, some hours afterwards, to find the supposed drowned man standing on the wharf smil ingly awaiting the arrival of the boat It appears that upon touching the water he was aroused from his slumbers, and, ta king in the situation in an instant, struck out manfully for the shore, which he suc ceeded in reaching without the loss of a bundle. There he waited for a short time, when another steamer came along, which he hailed, and was. taken on board, and some time in the night, during a tem porary detention of the boat he so uncere moniously left, the steamer he was then on passed the other and arrived at Fayetteville first. The worthy captain found it much easier congratulating the almost miracu lously restored somnambulist than be would have done the task of informing his family and friends that he had "gone to that bourne whence no traveller returns." A Singular Accident and a Kcniark able Escape. Joseph N. Hostler, a colored mail agent on the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad, and well known in this city, made a most miraculous escape from death on Thursday afternoon. As the train bound North was passing Toisnot station, Hostler went upon the platform to receive the mail from the office at that point, the cars at the time go ing at the rate of about forty miles an hour. A man was holding the mail bag suspended, when the concussion produced by the speed of the train caused him to swerve and stag ger, and Hostler, endeavoring at the same moment to grasp it, by some means lost his purchase and was precipitated violently to toe ground, and with such an impetus that he was made to slide along the ground for the distance, as a spectator avers, of about fifty feet before Ms course was arrested. The train was stopped as soon as possible and the wounded man taken up and placed in his car, when it was found that he bad sustained some bruises and it was believed that one of his arms was broken, but otherwise he was not in jured. He was carried to Weldon, from which place a dispatch was received yester day stating that he was getting along very well, having nothing worse to contend with than a braised arm. Those who are familiar with the business say that if there was a "catch" or crane upon which to sus pend the mail bags at Toisnot, similar to those recently placed at most of the stations on the road, there would-be no liability to such accidents as that which occurred to Hostler, even it the train should be going at the rate of sixty miles an hour. St. Patrick's Say. This is "St. Patrick's Day in the morning, " and our friends of the Hibernian Benevo lent Association will celebrate it with more than usual spirit. The procession will be formed in front of Temperance Hall at 9 o'clock, a. m., and, headed by the Cornet Concert Club, will march through various streets to St. Thomas' Catholic Church, where Holy Mass will be offered, after which the line will again be formed and parade through several of our principal streets to the Opera House, where an ora tion appropriate to the occasion will be de livered by Hon. Edward Cantwell. The address will of course be public, and our citizens generally, and the ladies particularly, are earnestly and cordially invited to be present. After the address the Associa tion will take up the line of march to their hall, where the annual election of officers will take place. The Accident on tne Railroad Jury oflnqaeal, Ac. Coroner Hewlett held an inquest yester day morning over the body of Boon Mathis, the young colored man who was run over by an engine just above Boney Bridge on Thursday afternoon, an account of which appeared in our paper yesterday morning. The evidence was to the effect that deceased jumped from the outgoing train bound North (one of the witnesses said back wards), landing on a side track upon which a yard engine was approaching, moving backwards, the tender of which struck him, knocking him prostrate upon the track, when the tender and engine passed over his body, literally severing the head from the trunk, besides breaking both arms. The corpse, as it lay near the scene of the acci dent yesterday morning, presented a ghast ly and revolting appearance. The unfor tunate man was a resident of Sampson county. JL The verdict of the jury was to the effect that deceased came to his death from being accidentally run over by yard engine No. 35, of the Wilmington, Columbia and Au gusta Railroad. Uaptlst Festival. We are requested to state that the ladies of the First Baptist Church will have a Fes tival in the French building, just north of the National Hotel, on Front street, on Tuesday evening next, to consist of oys ters, ice cream and other tempting delica cies aud refreshments. From what weean learn of the arrangements, they will be such as to guarantee satisfaction to the public and insure a pleasant evening to all who participate in the enjoyments provided. Tne Concert. The concert of the Sunday school of the Front Street M. . Church was repeated last evening before a larger audience, if possible, than on the former occasion. Capt. Parker, the Superintendent, presided with his usual dignity, and by his skill as gene ral director kept things moving lively. Mr. H. M. Bowden some call him Handsome filled the office of "Musical Director," and seemed to be as familiar with musical notes, and as much at home, as if he was at the First National .flirting notes with that clever left hand of his. Mrs. J. J. Poisson presided at the organ, surrounded by the infant class, of which, we believe, she is the teacher. This group of cherub faces, with their sparkling eyes and flaxen ringlets, made up a picture which was pleasant to look upon, and one, too, of which the audience could not tire, for within that circle was clustered much of the hope, the pride and joy of the whole church. The opening piece, "Welcome to All," was sung with much spirit, and had the ef . feet to convince the audience that they had got into the right pew, and would have met with storms of applause had not Capt. Par ker interdicted that We will say here that Capt. P. should have allowed us to mani fest our appreciation of their efforts, or moved us out of the church, where we could have stamped to our heart's content As we cannot notice ail tne pieces wang, we will say here, in a general way, that the school sung with fine spirit and in good time. We were particularly pleased with the "Battle Song," "Sabbath Bells" and ''Beautiful Rain," although all the pieces sung by the school were well rendered. i When the Infant class sung "Jesus Now is Calling," there was a general interest manifested, and we think it received more general attention than any other piece. We did not expect artistic singing from them, but we accepted then little hymn as an earnest of what will be hereafter, and as their tiny and tremulous voices floated out on the stillness, we felt the truth of the poet's words: "Sweet the hum of bees, the voice of girls, the song of birds; The lisps of children and their earliest words." "Holy Father," solo, by Miss Chadwick, was particularly charming,' and deserves a place on the programme of their next con cert. Miss Florence Alderman's rendering of "Shall We All Meet There," must convince the most sceptical that the church will not want for musical talent in the future. The "Christian Graces," ten in all, were now marshalled by Miss Ella Grafflin, who, possessing that rare accomplishment, elocu tion, her recitation of the poem was all that could be desired, and added much to the success of what all must have regarded as the gem of the evening's entertainment. The Christian Graces never looked so beau tiful and desirable to us before, and from indications around us, we concluded that several young men agreed with us. The important piece of the evening, viz: "Collection," was superbly sung by a quar tette on the lower floor and duet in the gal lery, with the audience as chorus. Capt Parker will let us know, in a few days, whether it was a basso profundo or a light tenor. Fart second was immediately entered upon, as Capt Parker suffered no delay, and again the church was flooded with sweet sounds. Io the quartette, "Soft floating on the Air," we were particularly struck with an alto voice, which at times filled the church, and again in the following duet this same voice once more greeted us. Surely the Church need not want for a good choir when they have such a voice to fill one part, and the soprano voice which sung "Holy Father" to fill another. "Gently Lord, O gently lead Us," was called for and sung by Mrs. Poisson and Mr. Bowden charmingly, and deserves par ticular mention. We have not time to notice in detail all the beautiful pieces that were sung, but suf fice it to say that all of them were rendered with much spirit, in good lime, and with out a jar throughout the whole evening. It was a decided improvement upon the first concert, which is sufficient praise. Our Methodist friends may certainly feel that they have achieved success. more About the Fire Thursday night. The fire about 7 o'clock Thursday night, which destroyed the property of Mr. C. W. McClammy, on the west side of the river, mention of which was made in our paper yesterday morning, commenced on the roof of the shed and spread so rapidly before assistance arrived, that it could not be got ten under control. The Fifth Ward Bucket Company crossed on a flat from the foot of Queen street and rendered valuable assis tance in saving property. There can be no reliable estimate of the amount of stock destroyed, as a great deal of the spirits turpentine, rosin and crude turpentine was roiled into the river and parties were busy alt day yesterday in fish ing it out The loss on stock is roughly es timated at about $1,500. There was an in. surance on stock in yard and warehouse of $4,000, in the uEtna of Hartford, and the North American of Philadelphia, repre sented in this city by Mr. T. C.' DeRosset The distillery, warehouse and shed, which were also destroyed, were valued at proba bly about $1,200, upon which there was no insurance, proving a total loss. ' Registrations.

' y At a large and enthusiastic meeting of the Fifth Ward Club, held'attbe Free Will Baptist Church, corner of Fourth and Daw son streets, last night, the following pream ble and resolutions were adopted by an al most unanimous vote, only four voting in the negative ; , Whereas, We, the members of the Fifth Ward Democratic Club, see with re gret a communication in the Star, signed "Many Voters" in the Fourth Ward, say ing that Mr. 3. H. Fishblate proposes to run as independent candidate for Alderman in that Ward; and whereas, we, the mem bers of the Fifth Ward Democratic Club, being convinced that he is the only legally nominated candidate, such power being given to the Fifth Ward, when the commit tee of twenty-five, five from each Ward, were consulting the propriety of redisrict ing the city, it being unanimous in that committee that if we, the First and Fifth Wards, would agree to the lines throwing nearly all of the colored voters in the Se cond and Fourth Wards into the First and Fifth Wards, we should have representa tion by selecting one of the candidates in the Second and Fourth Wards; and, whereas, S. H. Fishblate has always acted for the best interests of the Fifth Ward, we have declared him our unanimous choice, and ask all the Democrats of the Fourth Ward, who wish to vote for the only regular nominee, to vote for S.
