The Charter Election.

We give below the returns of the charter cleo
ton, as far as we have received them they are
very nearly correct, and would have been entirely
so, if the inspectors of elections had performed
their appropriate duties they should have done;
but having some other ends to serve than the
completion of their duties and the furnishing of
report of their work to reporters, failed to get
frem some of them the result of their labors
From the tables given below, it will be observed
that the wings have elected not only their Mayor
but that they have also fourteen out OF the eighteen
Aldermen for the next board, and that the Boarc
Of Assistants stands the same. In short, it is
clear wing victory.

Aldermen the next thing to arrange is the nomination
Of president Of the board. Who shall we have! OF
course we'll acquainted with the business Of tho
board There is man. who has heretofore served in
the capacity Of alderman and James Kelly that man.
He deserves the ONCE, account Of his former
vices in the Board Of Aldermen. He is an snacisnt
man-one who well understands the routine Of bust
