Windham Representatives the En-
rors committed in our first hasiy report of the
results Of the election, was one stating that the
town OF Windham had not elected a represent
tative. The statement rested upon rumor, and
rumor, we all know, is deceptive jade, as is
proved in the present instance. Levi Kimball,
1t appears, was duly elected; and though assu-
red that our original statement of "none" was,
in one sense, very near the truth, it is never
thcless acknowledged that he counts one on the
wing side, making their number elected in this
county (if we concede 10 them their claim TO
Mr. Howe of Vermont eleren, and Just balanc-
ing the number elected by the opposite party.
