A Xcw Candidate Tor Governor. We learn that Judge James Johnson, of this city, has announced to his friends that ho is an Independent candidate for Governor, Judge Johnson has recently left the Superior Court bench, and is now practicing with Col. Ingram. Judge John son has been In polities for a long time, and is well known throughout the State. Alter the war lie cast his ballot and influ ence with the Republican party, and ever elneo has been a consistent membor of that party. We loam that Judge Johnson Is opposed to nil nominations, and will, therefore, run as an Independent, looking to tho President’s message as embodying his platform. We think anybody will meet defeat that runs against the nominee of tho Democratic party, provided every thing Is harmonious; but wo further think Judge Johnson will provo tho most formi dable opposition candidate in the State. Everybody In want of a Oarpot should go to the Vir ginia Store and buy one at New York Cost. Appointment*.

Alderman Watt moved to recondsider that much of tho hist meeting’s business as pertained to tho salaries of the City Physician and Deputy Marshal. Mayor Cloghorn ruled that such a mo tion was in order. It.was objected to by Aldermen Nuckols, Manly, Brannon and Coleman, who claim ed tiiat tho ordinance was a law, and gave their reasons why tho law required an as sessment of tho salaries before the elec tion. Tho ruling of tho chair was appealed to. Those til favor of the ruling of the chair voted in the affirmative, viz: Grimes, An drews, Watt and Coloman; nays, Manly, Nuckols, Durkin, Brannon, Swift, Aoee, Ledsingor nnd Curtis. A motion was then made to reconsider so much of tho minutes of last meeting as to change the salary of the Deputy Mar shal and Marshal. The motion was lost.

The room was vacated by the specta tors, nnd tlio Mayor requested to step down and out, and Alderman Ledsingor called to tho chair. An Appropriate Com mittee was appointed mid tlie meeting ad journed. Colored llaptlNt Festival. The members of colored Baptist Church held a festival last night in Temperance A largo and enthusiastic crowd was present, and the hall appropriately decorated. Tho different members of tho church had solicited aid and secured a goodly sum in furtherance of their object. Tho tables were presided over by the fe male members of the church. Everything passed off very pleasantly, nnd we do not recollect ever seeing a more orderly and contented assemblage of colored people. The pastor, Green McArthur, was present, and assisted by Tom Rhodes and others of his church, tundo tho festival a success. We learn their receipts were very good, and that they oloured over ono hundred and filty dollars. This sum goes to de fraying tho exponses and extinguishing the debt of the church. A Straw,. Thing. We were told by a very reliable gentle man that the bottom of a well on lowor Broad street had dropped out. This is an incredible story, but he swears it Is so. It seems the well had four feet of water in it, and oil of a sudden, tho water disap peared, and from tho well hot steam came out the color of smoke. If tho well was on Front street we might account for it, on the ground that tho devil had broken loose, but this well ts in a peaceful locali ty. They have been waiting two days for the return of water, but none has ap peared as yet. Will somo philosopher in vestigate and report. At th* t'x**h I>ry Good* llu*e.

But now china Is moderately cheap, and the shelves of the “china-shop” are graced with the most lovely specimens of art in figures and pictures of exquisite coloring. His store, wltich is one of the largest in tho city, was well filled with all manner of crockery, and while there we saw in pros pective many a wife’s heart gladdened by the purchase of her Christmas tea-set, a porcelain vase for her mantle, or a set of Bohemian glass ware. Ills glass and china ware is of tho latest designs and coloring. His imported goods are of the finest texture und finish, and his prices are extremely moderate. By pric ing some of his goods, we solved the pro blem “why such a run had been made on tills "china-store.” Nothing wo know of is so calculated to make tho new year a peaceful one as to commence it with anew outfit of china, glass and crockery; so if you wisli to es cape eurtain lectures, profit by our sug gestion, and buy a full lino of china ware, etc., at Cowdory’s, where you can get it cheap and guaranteed.

If you want anything in tho furniture line cheap, durable, well finished and tasty, be certain to call at Edmunds' before you make your purchases. Iu these hard times it is true economy to buy a Christ mas gift, it matters not what it costs, that is not perishable, but tiiat will last and be of use for years. To those who do not con sider that house furniture comes under the head of Christmas presents, we would suggest the propriety of commencing the new year with new furniture entire, or at least with such additions to this year’s as the wife may dbem necessary. To say tiiat Edmunds sold goods economically, would be almost as superfluous as to ask a starving man if he was hungry. Go there and get your little boy a velocipede, and your little girl a nice chair. E. e. Yo.ver,, This is the season of the year of all others to buy anew hat.

THOMAS A PRESCOTT. Nothing sets off good looks better than anico fitting suit of clothes. You have worn your old ones long enough, so go to Thomas A Prescott and get fitted in one of his new suits. Take your wife by sur prise by going home with anew suit. If you don’t do it, we advise all wives to go to Thomas fc Prescott’s anil order a suit, and take their husbands by surprise by having theta ready for him to don early Christmas morning. The weather is balmy now, but cold weather is coming on, und you will need an overcoat. Take ad vantage of tho reduction in clothing, and get you an overcoat.

Boston ladies are quarreling dread fully over Kignold, the handsome ac tor, and one of them writes to the Transcript that she is going to ap plaud the dear fellow, and don’t care who knows it. She will do it if she wears out all her kid gloves and her unhappy husband’s boots. Louisville has a harmless lunatic who imagines himself the general su perin rendent of all the railroads lead ing into the city. He is at the depot on the arrival of every train, and supposes that it is owing to his per sonal superintendence that they ar rive and depart on time. From all we can hear, New Year culls will be made by the young men. Tho ladies, we presume, will generally receive. A number of influential ladies of New York, interested in the welfare of their sex, have addressed a petition to shopkeepers employing female clerks, asking that such employees be provided with seats for use while not waiting on customers, as all phy sicians agree that, the health of women is greatly impaired by being constantly upon their feet. Pretty thoroughly buried recently was that Indian child whose father and mother held different religious benefits. They buried it first in the Protestant, then in the Catholic, then in the Protestant graveyard again, and finally adjourned home to light it out over their surviving child. The mother ran away with it to Louisville, the father came after it and re-captured it, and that’s the way the light stood at last accounts.

Messrs. Bradfield A Cb.J: Gentlemen—You will please ship us an other supply of your invaluable Female Regulator, and forward liili by mail. We are happv to state that this remedy gives better satisfaction than any article we sell. We have been selling it since 1868, and witnessed many remarkable cures by it. Among others, there was a lady friend of ours who was sallow and sickiy until she was twenty-six years old, when slie was married. Her husband lived two years and died. She continued in bad health; in fact, she has never tieen what a woman ought to be. A few months after tiie death of her husband she saw your advertisement, and came to our store and bought a bottle of your Regula tor from us, and took it according to di rections. It has cured her sound and well, brought her regular monthly peri ods on, and to-day she is a hearty, bloom ing widow—with the use of but two bot tles of vour Regulator, costing her only three dollars, when she had tried several physicians and spent a great deal of money without any benefit.
