General Brag#.— The R onmond Sen
tinel says: ,
We have reason to believe that the tact
staled, viz; that General Brags Has' offered
to serve ae General Johnston’e Chief of
Staff is entirely trne; and we are lurtner
informed that General Bragg has a! o an”
nounced to the President ins readiness to
serve iu any capacity in which bis services
may be deemed useful, and that ifd?stied
for the public interests, he wiil fall back
upon his old sphere 6s commander of a
battery. Such a heroic and seif sacrificing
spirit is worthy of emulation. Let such a
animate our officers and the ar.
ty J;\ be invincible.

Seers the c' sntv for the ensuing year. It
been a luiij, time since there have been ao
l„* go a number of competent gentlemen from
which to select, and it is pr sumed that what*
evereeiections ai|' aiado wii: result in
the community. ; i
he Sheriff's office willin al probability be
of vast n spousibility uud imporiacco, aud
Ire behooves us to select ihe very best man we
can get for the office. Tube a good sberiii ie~
quink a general knowiedgo ot coaimerciai as
well as legal affairs, and in m iking our eeleetton
these iui .ortant p ints should be borne in mtiid.
Without in the least ditraonng from the ciaun<
or fi mess of any g. running for this un*
p*..-riant office, wo will not • e itfonsured when wo
piai aly state tha; our preference is ior the prts j
ent neumbent, Mr. John Llgon, who hi*s 11. led
the ffiro to toe eunre saustaouon of lb;* tour*

business man, he presents qualitocatmaa ‘or :uie
important ifSo“, superior, in our opinion, to ail
othJrs, anu we trust suca will do the verdict ol
the people to-d’ty. Mis deputy, Air. J. J. Chaf
fin, is well known in this community as one-of
us best Lnaiuess men, and we feel the affairs ot
the people will be in good hands when enuuat
ed to 018 care. Tbe motto ol oTerj voter should
be in these times —men find cot measures.—
Messrs. Ligou and Chaffin are the men, in our
opinion, and this aoes Dot disparago the qualin*.
cations of other geotleineu seeking the office.
DeGreffenreld’s Claim,
At the mee’ing of Council on Monday
evening, the c!aim of Dr. E. S. DeGrnff nried
was taken uo, and after a. eareiul reading of tbe
Doctor’s yeti icn, a resolution was offered and
passed, njnctiug the euti’.o concern. We think
tbe Council di-poieJ of this chum in ha ptoper
manner, particularly when there could bx iound
nothing in the records of any year previous, au
thorizing tr.ra to perform tbe services iepr*?SHn£-
cd sit tbe exp nsa of be ©operation of the city
of Coiumbus. This matter wo trust is now fi*
nalJ.y disposed o*, a'id we shall hear so more of
it. It should to ch our people a lesson aiso,
not to sign petitions without, first known.g the
natjire or justice of them. The authorities
would have been perfectly justifiable under the
circumotaucas, m paying this claim, but they
saw its wrong and kicked it out of doors.
