sTte returns from East Chester were then taken up
a ,bose OF the Ist District recorded as being
~ ,;ob.. but on proceeding Ia examine those OF the
md or Tuckahoe District, Mr.. Brsndrcth called the
.,ntor of the Chair to the fact that protest hed
Zen made against their reception by one oi the In
nectors and therefore moved that the returns from
he lid District be laid on the table uht,, morning.

caster Underhi and set forth that the Inspectors were
,o duly sworn before entering upon the discharge OF
heir duties on the day Of election, and that the In
.neetors and clerks adjourned for supper, and subse-
ouen,y for the night, before the canvass was com
plesed and announced to the public.
M. ROBERTSON then proceeded to read several
,ajayits from Inspectors and Clerks, who oficiaed
A. the polls in the District alluded 10, denying the
truth OF the assertions made by Mr.. Underhi.
Mr.. BRASDRETH opposed the reception OF these
,adayits on the ground that they were not portion
s the records Of the returns while the protest was on
the face OF the records.

pOest was affixed to the return Of the Inspectors and
ty whom il affixed 10 the return, it became eyi-
dent that the protest had been affixed after it had gone
ou Of the hands Of the majority Of Inspectors and
further that to the copy of the returns deposited with
the County Clerk, no such protest was annexed Ihs
led TO the conviction and assertion that some fraud
,t6fcrgery had been perpetrated in the matter, and
for considerable time great confusion prevailed In the
room, and to-day some startling developments VIII
probably be made not only in the maneuverlng OF the
Leoomptoni,es in East Chester, but also in White
Plains, to cheat Mr.. Haskin out of his seat.
The friends Of Mr.. Van Ccurtland, the member OF
Assembly elect Of the LIST Assembly District also find
themselves in a dilemma, account of the movement
10 throw out the returns OF the lid Dstrct oi East
chester, as such course would elect his opponent,
Mr. Sas Clifford but if the defeat of Mr.. Haskin can
be accomplished thereby Mr.. Van Courtland will
have to submit to the sacrihce-possby condition.
however, Of compensation in some other form. The
course pursued by Mr.. Underhil toward MIR. Haskin,
IN reference 10 the returns in question: produced an al
tercation between those gentlemen which caused a
great deal Of excitement and for while fears were
Entertained that something more than words would be
exchanged.
The following is the official result for Congress in
Rnckland County:
