 Here was a damper Willie had never thought oi It's being necessary to have letters from his minister or his teachers, or from some proper person, to prove to strangers that he was an honest, good boy. Now what should he do. He stood in deep thought, the captain mean while cullously watching the workings of his expressive face, at length he put his hand into his bosom, and drew out his little Bible and without one word put it into the captains hand.

The following are the returns on Circuit
Judge as far as we have been able to collect
them.
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1855-06-09
The Election.

We have been gathering returns all week
Of the election on Monday, but have yet so
few, and those in many cases SO eccentric,
that We can hardly venture an opinion in
reference to any of the candidates except
one, or the result on the Maine law. Mr..
HOLSTER is undoubtedly elected Judge of
this circuit over Champlin and lIolbrook,
bya majority of from 1a to 1900 over Cham
.plin, and indefinitely over IIolbrook In
deed, the latter seems to have been merely
set up as man Of straw by the Know Moth
ings to divert attention from Mr.. Chanpln,
whom many believed to have been the real
X. N. candidate OF this, however, we out
sidcrs have no means Of positive knowledge;
but it is hardly to be supposed that ''Sam"
was entirely indifferent to the judicial cleo
ton in this circuit.
As TO Supreme Judge, we presume there
is no doubt but Cation is elected, although
the red hot abolitonists pretty generally
voted for Judge Leland, Notwithstanding his
positive declination, preferring man whom
they imagined committed beforehand on
certain questions, to one who, like Judge
Cation had from his position thought it most
becoming to be more reserved on those CUES.
tons. We have no faith in the opinion of
many that "Sam" had also hand in the
vote for Leland We opine he is as little
the favoritc Of Sam, as Sam is the favoritc
ofJudgc L.
For Clerk Of the Supreme Court L. Leland
had no opposition in this region, nor was
his competitor, Mr. Root, dreamed of as for
midaHe, until the returns from Chicago and
other quarters indicated that he had been
taken in charge by the Know Nothings
This,with the singular to cali it by
no harder name, in Chicago, to have Mr. Lc-
land placed on the ticket with Judge Cation,
may have been the means Of his defeat
Mr.. Leland deserved better treatment at the
hands of certain gentlemen in Chicago who
made it their business to get out the tickets,
and if he don't spot them, it will not be
that they have given him no good reason
for it.
Prohibition, Notwithstanding the conf
dence Of many Of its friends, we regret to
say is still very decidedly in doubt-indced
the beam threatens to kick the wrong way.
1t may get to Springfield with eight or ten
thousand majority, but if the south comes
up against it as strongly as we have all an.
ticipated, the law is inevitably lost.
The Following are the returns of La Sale
county, which, although nearly full, are not
official:
