we called with it upon The Tribune and requested
its insertion The publisher refused to give place
but finally yielded the force OF argument contained In
a FIVE dollar BILL and consequently the following com,

The meanness Of this statement will be appa-
rent when we inform the reader that refusal to
publish the reply presented by the Observer was
accompanied by a distinct offer to allow the Editor the

Our Charter EIection-[on

We need not repeat the vote for Aldermen and
Assistants, as we gave it very correctly the morn
ing after Election. The only material mistake was
that which elected Mr.. Weeks Assistant in the
XIvth, and there is a mystery about that which
needs clearing up. Dennis Carolin, Loco, is re-
turned by $50 votes to s27 for Weeks. How was a
different result arrived at the night Of Election
In the XyIIIth, the Official elects Aid. Maynard
by II and VIM F. jackson Assistant by IA. In
the XIIIth, Henry Kreps, Wing Assistant, has 753
votes, and is beaten rs by John R. Colon. The
Natives polled 3s9 votes in that Ward In the
With, Aid Franklins official vote is 1870. In the
WITH. Aid Pursers declared majority is votes, as
we stated.-We need not republish the list OF
Members elect or the vote, since it was in the main
correctly given before. The Natives polled some
2,00O the National Reforners some 500 independ-
ent votes, though in the l&th, XVIII, and some
other Yards, the latter supported candidates of
other parties, who were understood to favor their
principles rejoice to see that DARIUS FERRY,

for the PATRONS Asnors in Albany and Rensselaer,

has probably cmgrsied In order 10 bring his title before
the Supreme Court OF tha United States. lie claims
der will Of Kilian, OF John Van Rensselaer,, dated
22d February 1857 which win has been proved regular.
~ In this State He alleges that he and an uncle %
years OF age are the true and lawful owners Of the
Msnorisl property.
IT, Since the above has got into the Express
we presume We may venture to copy it, especially
with the comment that we attach very little i'm.
portapoe to the story. We very inrocently pub
lished similar statement some two years ago, and
were thsreupon threatened by PATRONS lawyer
with an action on the case for slsndering the title
of the Van Rensselaers if We did not make due
amendment Ofcourse we did it, and mean to keep
clear Of similar hobbies hereafter. Ed. Tr5.

than the Wings had given any local candidate for
Clsrkson Crohus Wing Assessor, polled III more
and is elected by % majority. So with the Wing
Assessors and one Constable. There is a standing
feud there in the ranks Of the majority, which
caused many of the Cornell Democrats, so called,
to vote for our successful candidates in order to de-
feat Walsh & Co. This produced state Of the
Poll which is very likely TO be Inexperienced.
Messrs. Crolius and Franklin are both highly
popular, and one probably as much so as the other.
1t was the crusade against Walsh among his own
party which caused the apparent disparity.
