A New FEATURE IN ELEcrIoNs.-At the cleo.
ton in Moscow, Indiana, recently, new feature
was adopted not generally in use on like occasions
in this country. 1t appears that there were two
tickets in the field, of whom the superintendent
took cognizance, and these were the Old Line and
Independent Democrat.
The good people of Moscow were somewhat sur
prised, on the morning of election to find pacard
posted at the polls containing the names of the
above tickets and stating that votes for other names
than those thus recorded, would not be counted!
This was issued by the superintendent of the cleo
ton, who were all Old Liners.
However, when the votes came to counted, it
was found that the votes for the above tickets were
few in comparison to those Of several strange can
didates, who had not been supposed to be at all
anxious for the offices. Not liking to take the re-
sponsbility of casting out the votes of the most
respectable portion Of the citizens and thinking it
might not have good effect the judges did count
them, and found that some very good officers had
been elected by cery fair majority, and that they
did not belong to either of the above tickets either

judges, was, that SAM was around there, certain
