to secure his property, sent a dozen TO the old
"New Era" Office at six o'clock yesterday morning,
and took the press away from the premises in less
than half an hour; leaving the execution not satis-

endeavoring TO elect Senator 10 MI the place now
he'd by Mr.. R;ves. No other business has been
bought Of, or attended to the while, and yet when
the voting closed the election was no nearer being
contaminated than when it commenced. There
was a hone before the election came on that the
Wings and Conservatives would find no difficulty
in uniting on candidate, but this hope has vanish
cd, and it seems to be pretty generally admitted,
that it will be next TO impossible to elect Senator
