quests that all persons indebted to him will make

The Election.

This week we are no. enabled to lay before
our readers the official returns Of the election
The law ough, TO be so amended as TO require
the poll books 10 be sent 10 the clerk within
two days after The election. This would afford
ample time /; and save the necessity Of waiting
twenty days 10 know the result of the canvass.
There is no more propriety in allowing twenty
days for returning the poll books in this coun-
iy than there would be in allowing witness
twenty days TO travel to court at Lancaster,
after The service of subpoena upon him. II
is universally true, that business is never
done better than when it is done promptly and
without delay. The officers who return The
poll books are paid for it; and they ought TO
star. for Lancaster with the returns Of their
respective precincts, on the day following the
election.
II will be seen by examining the returns.
mex, week, that quite a number of candidates
have failed to receive plurality Of The votes
polIed which fact will explain 10 them fully
the reason of their not being elected. To all
such, il. will be gratifying reflection that
they will be exempt from the trouble and re.
sponsibil,y of office for the coming year; and
that political grapes are sour.

was unavaling, although il is said he shot
one man, and wounded two more with his
own hand. While the battle was raging be-

steamboat, Col. Baker, 4th Illinois regiment,
