the result Of the election, allowed TO pass and
sxty-two votes were recorded
Other errors, of unimportant character were dis
covered and the returns containing such were

be erroneous and provided the return be sent in at
the succeeding meeting of the Board.
Several other similar supposed errors being dis
covered, aud the returns containing them being or
dered back for correction the reurns from the Twen-
ty-second Ward we're disposed OF, when
Supervisor G. II. TUCKER moved that the County
Clerk be instructed 10 inform the members of the
Board not now present that their several returns will
be required 10 be footed up on or before Thursday
next IN order to enable the Board 10 make nsl can
vass of the votes from each Ward.
The PREsIDEET considered this unnecessary as suf-
hcieht hot0Tefy would De gwen 10 thesuDect Without
any special notification being sent 70 each Supervisor,
who are expected to know what is their duty.
supervisor BLUNT could see no reason why the can
vass could not be completed at the next meeting of
the Board il the Supervisors would only be present to
foot up their returns.
The President said it is very desirable that the
matter should be closed at early day az possible.
1t had been considerable tax upon his time to be
present every day within few minutes Of the period
10 which they adjourn, but it would be presuming
that the Supervisors do not know their duty to send
them note from the County Clerk to request their
attendance.
Supervisor c. III. TUCKER then withdrew his mo-
ton, stating his only object TO secure the compile
ton OF the canvasses as soon as possible.
On motion Of Supervisor DRAKE, at 70 clock the
Board adjourned until IL O'Clock this morning
All the returns have now been canvassed, and
when few corrections made and each Supervisor
has footed up snd signed his respective returns, the
final result will be declared.
