The Cleveland Plaindealer says that in one
township in Wood county, Ohio, containing
six hundred and thirty-two voters, there were
only thirty-one Democratic votes last fall

The Texas Civilian and Gazette, of the Odd
ut, says: The vote of tho State is almost
as we'll known now as it will be after the cleo

The election in Delaware for inspectors and
assessors, has resulted in brilliant Democrat
10 triumph. In the counties of New Castle,
Kent, and Sussex, the Democratic majority is
eighteen hundred. Two years ago Know
Nothipgs carried the State by about one thous-
and majority.
The vote in Connecticut, on the question of
so amending the constitution as to make all
the Judges elective by the people for period
of eight years, is extremely small. In Hart
ford and New Haven not one tenth of the vo-

votes polled were mostly given against the

The Fremont Volunteer Document Commit
tee are called upon to send " documents and
speeches, of which there appears to be an en-

uments and speeches have been already dis
tributed there. The only want is readers,
and this the Fremont Voluntary Committee
will find it difficult to supply.

the result has been accomplished on full votes,
