candidates for re-election, as a matter of course; for, as Jefferson said, the blandishments of official station are so great, that as a class but few office-holders did and none resign. But one of the worthy "servants of the people," our excellent and impartial Mayor, has an opponent, but, without detriment to the present incumbent, we may say that he is "a Forman worthy of his steel."--Martin M. Lipscomb, Esq., favorably known in the local annals of Richmond as former City Sergeant, is a candidate for the Mayoralty, and will no doubt be in the ring till about sundown to-night. L. M. Jude, J. B. Pleasants, L. M. Carter, and Richard Reins are candidates for the Captaincy of the Night Watch. Either one would do justice to the position. We cannot dismiss the subject of the Charter Election without advising the suffragans to vote early. It is a matter that should be attended to. No doubt is felt, however, but that all the old encumbrances [including the Mayor] will be re-elected.

penalty and sentence. Called Court.--A special session of the Hustings Court was held at the City Hall yesterday, to examine Ira Parker, charged with having, on the 16th of October, robbed James M. Fuqua at his boarding-house in this city, of one $50 note, two $10s, a pair of boots, worth $25, and a handkerchief, worth $1. The Court was composed of Recorder Caskie, and Aldermen Sanxay, Bray, Lipscomb, Beveridge, Anderson, and Timberlake. After hearing the evidence of Fuqua and Capt. J. B. Pleasants, of the Night Watch, the Court sent the accused on for trial before Judge Lyons. Ira Parker, the prisoner, was one of the men who not long since escaped from Castle Thunder. He committed this offence soon after he released himself from confinement. Hustings Court--Hon. Wm. H. Lyons, Judge--Wednesday, Oct, 22d, 1862.--Owing to the cases of several criminals not being in a state of completion for trial, none were called up yesterday, (Wednesday.)

Convict captured. --John P. Gunnels, the convict who succeeded in making his escape from the penitentiary on Wednesday morning, at the time an assault was made upon the guard by James Conway, a fellow convict, who was then shot and mortally wounded, was captured by Capt. J. B. Pleasants and watchman Drake, on Wednesday evening and returned to the custody of the Superintendent of the penitentiary. Gunnels had secreted himself in an old stable on the line of the canal about two miles from this city, where he was found by the vigilance of the officers who were in search of him. These officers, we presume, will receive the reward of one hundred and fifty dollars offered by the Governor, though the capture was made before the appearance of the notice from the Secretary of the Commonwealth in the papers offering such reward.

Mayor's Court. --The following business was transacted in this Court on Saturday: Macklin, slave of H. J. Jennings, was charged with having in his possession a quantity of goods, valued at $5,477, stolen from M. L. Jacobson, and one side of sole leather, a sheepskin, and one box of candles, supposed to have been stolen from some person unknown. Watchman Marcellus Hicks and Capt. J. B. Pleasants over hauled a negro man named Robert Smith, on Friday morning, with a side of leather, which the fellow claimed to have purchased from Machlin, one of the numerous negroes in this city who are permitted to do business on their own account. On going to Macklin's shop, the officers found a lot of leather, which they thought he had no right to have, and thereupon took him under arrest.--Macklin denied having any other room than that in which he conducted the shoemaking and repairing business; but it was afterwards ascertained that he occupied one on the alley running between Main and
