CENTRAL BUREAU OF ELECTIONEER-
EPS

We find the following letter in the Columbus
Sentinel. 1t shows, when taken in connection
with what has already appeared in the public
prints on this subject, the surveillance that is
extended over the State elections, and the re-
guar returns that are made to the central board
at Washington. 1t would be folly to suppose that
these communications between individuals in the
various counties and districts, are confined to
the transmission OF returns alone. Ifso much in
terest is felt by the Office holders at head quar-
tiers about the result Of ain election, they no
doubt use every means in their power to affect
that result.
"WAsulNeToN City, Sept. II, 1882.
Confidential
Dear Sir-It is Of great Importance that the
earliest information be received here of the re-
suit of the elections in Ohio, on the second Tues
day in October next, and for electors of PreSi-
dent and Vice President, on the first Friday in
November next. have, therefore, most earn
estly to request you Immediately on these cleo
tons taking place, to advise me from day to day
of the same, as you may receive the returns-
Please give me, in the first place, the township re-
turns ane from the counties, as you may receive
them, until you have completed the returns from
the whole State. These returns | wish should
embrace the votes for Governor, and for members
Of the General Assembly, designating such as
are Jackson candidates. And when your cleo
ton for electors of President and Vice President
takes place, give me from day to day the re-
turns of the same as your information may
warrant, until the whole returns are transmitted
to me-
You will duly appreciate the motives which
induce me to make these requests and / have
no doubt will perceive their importance, and the
necessity for the most prompt compliance.
With great respect,
Your obedent servant.
ELIJAH HAYWARD.

The ashington Correspondent of the Bait.
Chronicle, under date of Dec 8, says" This
morning verdict was rendered for the plain
tiffs, in the case Of Alexander Brown & Sons Of
Baltimore, for the use OF Oliver, versus Susan
Decatur. BY this verdict Mrs. Decatur will
have to refund to the plaintiffs the sum Of ,0C0
loaned to her by Alexander Brown & Sons,
through the procurement OF MIR. Oliver. The
case was argued at great length and with much
ability by MeSsers. F. S. Key and Dunlap for
the plaintiffs and by Mr. Marbury for the defend

il is for every young man who hopes Tor mucn,
and every old man who would leave 10 MS cn,I-
dren the glorious birthright he had,-to swear
if not perpetual opposition, at least perpetual
watchfulnesss, perpetual struggles, unceasing
and courageous activity. A distrust OF power,
an indifference to its finances, aye-l Will say u

troll his pen, when il begins It's race,-ano the
feelings rather than the vii! guide the hand.
merely seized the disobedent quill to write, that
a large majority of the members of Congress
are already on the ground,-that the Message
will without doubt be delivered on Tuesday noon
and though am not in situation to predict
what its topics may be. yet think can see, let
the President say what he may, that the Post
Office corruptions, and defalcations must be
very prominent topic of discussion this session.
The committees have not spent their time IN
vain and Improbable search The members
have not yet been long enough together to finish
shaking hands, and TO recount their various
election battles in their various districts; but by
and by, we shall see some of the glimpses of the
future, and the facts of the past,-and Of them
will endeavor to keep you well informed. Re-
" upon it,-this will not be so quiet session as
many expect. The calm OF despotism has not
yet come. The spirit of the defenders OF the
constitution is unsubdued, and iftyranny and
usurpaton go on forging chains, and striking
down those who have the courage to resist them,
they will not fall without a warning voice. But
fal!-why do say fall? The South is wrest-
ling with past prejudces, and is daily conquer
ing them. The Wing banner floats triumphant
ly far and wide in the Great Wesr,-and if Mis-
souri, is yet unredeemed it is not that il is less
patriotic, but because the pulsations of robust
health are felt quicker in the heart than in the
limbs. Old Massachusetts sustains the fame OF
old Faneuil Hall, and Of the heights of Bunker
Hil,-and if as Mr.. Clay predicted, the Cloths
have not yet been driven from the Capitol, and
we have not gained New York. it is because
Cloths have been imported to sustain Goths.-
Depend upon it, that Mr. Van Buren, is for US
the most desirable candidate in appearance,
and if he had lost New York, he would have fed
from the feld,-much to our injury. This is
the universal opinion here, and the Wing men,
bers from the South and West rejoice that they
are to have him for opponent.
