ANOTHER TRnL-TwESTIgTn BALLoTISG.--
The friends Of Sumner and Liberty can we'll af-
ford to yield to the opposition the barren triumph
Of an apparent gain. 1t is only apparent The
truth is, that several good and true Sumner men
being absent on account Of sickness, II was under
stood beforehand among the coalition forces that
there would be no voting on Wednesday, and on
that understanding several others were absent.
The fact is, that eight more Sumner men we're
absent Wednesday than were absent at the pre-
vous balloting while all the Wings and boilers
bat two were present. At the previous balioting
there we're six, or, perhaps, We may say eight
Sumner men and three Wings absent Taking
into view these facts, IL will be seen that Mr..
Sumner, instead Of losing, has really gained two
votes on this balloting In point Of fact he gain
ed three votes and lost one. At the next trial we
are confident he will retain these new votes, and
regain, not only the one, but the others which he
has lost-Boaon Commonwealth
1t Is rather unfortunate that all the sickness
shonld be among the Sumner men. II some of
the Hunkers were to fall sick, there might be
some consolation In that. The election was post.
poned for three weeks.

morning to get Sims out of the hands of the
United States Marshal by virtue of nm act Of
1916, relative to the personal freedom Of parties
Marshal Devens refused TO give Sims up. Ran
tout, for the defence, spoke this morning, in
which he took the ground of the law being un-
constitutional. After hearing his argument, the
evening, when they will render their decision
The city continues perfectly quiet, though large
crowds are collected about. The military hold

Sims will be delivered up TO his master and con
veyed from here to New York under military
escort
Mr. Rantoul has Withdrawn from the Congress

on opening the several parcels, has been discov-

The fortunate purchaser Of the package has al
