At the election on Monday, December
9th 1862, q diff renee existed al the Bat.
on Rouge precinct, between the clerks oil
the commissioners, aud several gentle
men present keeping %tallies, in regard to
the number of votes received by II. B. Il.
HATCH as a Candidate for the Legislature.
The former gave Mr.. HAroH 2s7 votes
and the latter only 256. The effect OF
this difference was, In the one case d tie
between Messrs. BAILEY. DUNCAN and
llA-cH, ard in the other, the election Of
Messrs. BAILEY aud DUNCAN by one
vote.
AS the gentlemen mentioned above had
signi6ed their intention not to contest the
election /; the undersigned equally OF both
parties, to satisfy ourselves and such 9th.

Sheriff wherein the ballots at the late
election were deposited, and a key from
him. as well az from encll ofthe following
gentlemen Messrs. J. r. DuFRoco and
j w. JONES, two of the commissioner.
The number Of names OH the list kept ly

voting at the late election at this precinct
was $50. We found $50 ballots in the
box, Of which number 371 were given for
Duncan, 1853 for Bailey and 2S5 for Hatch.
The result of this recount, when the
numbers are added respectively to the
votes cast at the other precincts in this
Parish, Tor the following candidates, shows
that at the late election for Representa-
tives,-Mr Bailey received 476 votes, Mr..
Duncan 475. aud Mr.. Hatch Ala. Il
We deem 1t but right to state, that
wa one vote, which though clearly
belonging TO Messrs. Bailey aud Duncan
did not count.
The voter had marked out with ink,
he name Of the candidate for Secretary OF
and before the ink was dry, folded
lie ballot in such a way as to blot the
1alnesof Messrs. Bailey and Duncan, SO
hat at a cnrsory glance it seemed as If

examination it was found however that
'uch was not the fact.

ENGINE HOSE III seine one of our

osition for an appropriation for the pur.
chase Of Engine hose, we can assure him
that such al act will meet the entire ap-
probation of the tax paying citizens. We
all have recently been witnesses OF the in
efficacy Of the hose at present in use, aud
il the city Council refuse to make appro-
priations for this department Of the Cor.
poration good, the concern will continue
to grow less efficient.
The intent and purpose of fremen is
everywhere commendable. No class Of
our community are so beneficial, in time of
need--none have the interest of others
more at stake. But here they are most
sadly wanting: and why? because the
means with which to work, are not pro-
vided them. and they have no disposition,
as individuals, to provide for the pubic
good. They give their labor, in the most
efficient names whenever called upon
and we trust the City Council will pro-
vide them the necessary implements with
which TO work. If this were done, the
fire departtrentsof this place would be in
a fourishing aud efficient instead o ia Ian.

While upon this subject, pertaining to
