GOVERNORS ELECTION.

The ceremony Of counting cut the vote
given in August last, for Governor Of \.
Carolina, took place in the presence OF
bolk Houses Of The Legislature on the 9Th
instant. By reference to the Legislative
proceedings, it viii be seen, that no'wlh-
standing similar instances have occurred,

Returning Officers. Il Is true, that the
votes lost does not alter the result, yet in
a close contest such negligence might en-
iircly defeat the wil If majority Of the
People. The Legislature should enforce
the penalty upon all dciaulting officers and
perhaps the proper attention would be
paid. However much the Legislature
might regret the loss to individuals, yet
the penalty in such cases should be risidly
enforced,
